Chapter 1281: Speculation about the outer god [Deception]

~8 min read 1,457 words

Speculation about the outer god 【Deception】

The scene was incomparably solemn, even the sound of breathing disappeared.

Long Jing was not only shocked but also very confused. He could guess something from Frod's disappearance and the background of the trial, but he could never figure out why Cheng Shi became the darling in the eyes of 【Nothingness】.

When everyone was still honestly trying to understand the gods in the trial, Cheng Shi brought the truth from outside the world to the Jesters; when everyone was working hard to explore the greater truth of the universe, the jester said he had become Envoy Envoy Yu Xi!

And this broken trial was implying everywhere that the jester was very important... how important was he exactly?

Without figuring this out, Long Jing couldn't sort out his thoughts at all, so he stared straight at Cheng Shi and asked the doubt hidden in his heart.

"Why you?"

Good question!

Cheng Shi had also asked 【Memory】 this question. 【Memory】's answer was that 【Nothingness】 had taken a fancy to you, so the gods cast their gaze for you.

But until now, he didn't know why 【Nothingness】 had taken a fancy to him.

Combined with the "clues" given by this trial, he roughly guessed that 【Fate】 should be the god who truly knew the "answer," and 【Deception】 was just copying the answer of His sibling god.

From the surface, 【Fate】 was attempting to create a sacrifice closest to the will of 【Origin】 to please this Creator, but the problem was that no god could fathom the thoughts of 【Origin】, just as no mortal could see through the thoughts of the gods.

Then why was 【Fate】 certain that the established path He promoted would definitely please 【Origin】?

The answer to this question might not be with 【Fate】 Himself, but with 【Origin】!

Just as Cheng Shi thought before, there must be a clear purpose in this grand universe experiment, which is the will of the Creator, which can also be understood as the "experimental instructions," and this "experimental instructions" projected in every sliced universe is very likely the manifestation of the will of 【Fate】.

The established path of 【Fate】 was probably never His original intention from beginning to end, but the original intention of the Creator.

As for why this original intention was himself...

Heh, except for 【Origin】, who knows?

Cheng Shi couldn't answer this answer, but he could push everything to 【Fate】.

He said:

"I don't want to, but 【Fate】 chose me."

Long Jing believed it in a second. The damn fate is like this, never letting people have their way, only beating people into jesters.

He looked at Cheng Shi with sympathy, but felt that the other party was not worth sympathizing with.

Even if he was pushed onto the stage unwillingly, at least this stage was big enough and dazzling enough, unlike himself... even if he was beaten into a jester, he was just a jester struggling in the mud.

Long Jing took two deep breaths, recalling what another Cheng Shi had once said to him, and for a moment he seemed to realize something. He should have thought long ago that someone who could speak the truth of the world could not be unrelated to the truth of the world, and someone who could make another self willing to pay could not be at the center of the vortex, but he didn't expect the world to turn so fast, and now it was his turn.

Are you going to follow him again... I still have a trump card in my hand that I haven't used.

Long Jing's expression was quite complex: "Does staying mean standing on the opposite side of 【Nothingness】?"

Cheng Shi's brain was also very messy. He didn't want to use any excuse of saving the world to kidnap anyone, because what he wanted to save most now was himself. However, at this moment, he did understand the painstaking efforts of Qin Xin's fire-passer who never forced others to join the fire-passing.

Without the deepest longing and resonance from the heart, it was impossible to support so many people to walk in the same direction.

"Not just 【Nothingness】, it is very likely all the gods."

"..."

Long Jing clenched his fists, struggled for a moment, and still nodded heavily.

To be honest, for a moment, Cheng Shi hoped that Long Jing would leave. He didn't know what the road ahead would be like, he only knew that the Long Jing from another world had told him to take good care of Long Jing and let him live well.

But now he wasn't even sure if he could survive, so how could he guarantee Long Jing's life?

But the moment Long Jing nodded, Cheng Shi smiled. He seemed to see the shadow of that blind Long Jing on the other party.

"If this is the biggest stage in this game, then how can I, President Gong, be missing from the stage!"

Long Jing silently tidied up his clothes and gave a brilliant smile to the two of them:

"But it's a deal. This time, even if I'm a supporting actor, my scenes must be exciting enough.

I have to let the audience know that President Gong has never been a jester, the jester is someone else!"

"..."

Cheng Shi, who was just a little moved, immediately froze. His eyelids twitched, and he looked away at Old Zhang.

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes and said seriously:

"Don't waste time. If the situation is as urgent as you said, we are racing against time.

Say what you should say, but don't say what you shouldn't..."

As he spoke, Zhang Steady pointed to the sky. His meaning was obvious: without the protection of props like the bone bell, what Cheng Shi said was very likely to be heard by the gods, heard by 【Deception】.

Cheng Shi sneered and looked up at the sky:

"Then let Him hear!

Just let Him know, this 'Maxfort', it's fine not to do it!"

He didn't rush to share everything with the two Jesters in front of him, but first asked Mouth Brother:

"Mouth Brother, Le... 【Deception】's matter, do you know?"

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips were silent for a long time, but Cheng Shi could feel that it had something to say, so he waited patiently. After a long time, Mouth Brother's voice was incomparably low:

"·I don't know...

I do know that He once left this world, but I didn't feel any change in Him when He came back.

I'm thinking, everything you saw in this trial might be an illusion, might be something He used to deceive you?

Of course, it's also possible that I was deceived. After all, the outer god is also 【Deception】, and 【Deception】 knows 【Deception】 best."

Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips rarely said so much at once. It could be heard that the hesitation and uncertainty in its tone were no less than Cheng Shi's.

If the outer god were other gods, it might still question how an outsider could use the faith of this world and perfectly play the god of this world, but it just happened to be 【Deception】...

【Deception】 is who, He is the appearance of 【Nothingness】, the lies of the universe, what He is best at is deception!

As long as the authority of 【Deception】 is in His hands, no one can see who He really is.

But then again, if there really was a 【Deception】 who came from the real universe to replace the original 【Deception】, then where did the original 【Deception】 go?

It is not hard to imagine that with 【Deception】's personality, as long as He is still alive, He will never leave His own world and "flee" alone, because that is equivalent to pulling out His own backbone and bowing to 【Origin】.

According to Envoy Envoy Yu Xi's Lips' understanding of Him, He wouldn't do such a thing, so the original 【Deception】 is very likely already...

This is also the reason for Mouth Brother's low tone.

It felt that its benefactor had fallen.

The outsider accidentally discovered 【Deception】's corpse, or witnessed His fall with his own eyes. In short, the authority of the god who died in the real universe was lost, and neither 【Convention】 nor 【Death】 could find any clues.

And then, the outsider picked up the authority of 【Deception】 and came to this world, using the authority of the original 【Deception】, or ability beyond the gods to deceive the universe.

This is not impossible. What power did that time reset that was enough to save the world come from? There is no conclusion yet. If the person behind the scenes is really the outer god 【Deception】, jester...

Is there any room for resistance?
