Old gods fall, new gods ascend

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment. "Redemption" is not a good word; it often means "sin" has been committed.

Plus this cold aura that was desperate to the point of being thick, Cheng Shi's heart tightened: "What happened?"

Zhang Jizu didn't respond, just looked at Cheng Shi carefully, and after a while, smiled brilliantly:

"Doesn't matter.

What matters is that you can still live.

I inherited the authority of 【Death】 and can save your life. As long as you cross the barrier of time and space and come to my world, at least before my world completely collapses, your life will be safe.

As for how to break through time and space, it's very simple, hold my hand."

As he spoke, Zhang Jizu stretched out an arm that was only a skeleton from his robe. The white bones were shining, and divine power was flowing on them.

"We act on behalf of the authority for each other. The legacy of 【Time】 allows me to take you away.

How about it, interested?"

"!!??"

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, looking at that skeleton arm, and said in disbelief: "Inherited? That Lord has fallen!?"

The arm Zhang Jizu stretched out stiffened. Obviously, he didn't want to recall these things, but seeing the fear that flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, he still sighed and said:

"Not just Him, They have all fallen.

On the 365th day of the arrival of the 【Faith Game】, the world-saving plan was passed by a full vote of 【Convention】. The old gods stepped down from the throne, handed over their authority, and destroyed themselves one by one beside the Sea of Desire.

The new gods picked up the authority and ascended the throne, and the whole world celebrated. Everyone thought we had found the answer.

However, the next day, the world began to collapse. Reality collapsed from the outside, and the void collapsed from the inside.

Our answer was wrong, and the world is irreversibly moving towards destruction.

But don't worry, I didn't call you here to harm you. At least compared to those worlds that are 'still struggling,' our world is collapsing fast enough for a mortal to walk through his life.

But it's only enough for an adult to walk through his life. As for his children, his descendants, his future...

Heh, the world is destroyed, where is there any future."

"!!!"

The gods destroyed themselves to save the world!?

They were actually willing to give up the throne to create a new life for a group of mortals?

Who could propose such a plan?

Cheng Shi raised his head suddenly, meeting those squinty eyes that were like slits, and Zhang Jizu saw his doubt, pointed at him, and hummed:

"You.

The jester traveled to the real universe, claimed to have found the so-called answer to the Creator's experiment, and was full of confidence when he returned, wanting to persuade the whole world to agree to his plan of changing the divine power.

He first persuaded us, and then broke us one by one, taking us to persuade the gods.

We told Them that as long as we infinitely lengthen the length of the Nothingness era and let the stories that happened in the past eras be performed again in the Nothingness era, the world will be eternally 'stagnant,' neither becoming the answer to the Creator's experiment nor becoming abandoned goods because the era has come to an end.

And because the eras are performed in turn, They will definitely return. This is the answer the jester found in the real universe.

The old gods must go, and the new gods are difficult to be born. Only when They are willing to give up everything can They find themselves in the long nothingness.

We persuaded 【Fate】, persuaded 【Existence】, persuaded 【Life】, persuaded all the gods, and even 【Dementia】 was happy to see our foolish acts.

Except for 【Deception】.

But under the restriction of 【Convention】, 【Deception】's vote was irrelevant.

Before He destroyed Himself in the Sea of Desire, He mocked the world: The world cannot be saved, you are all wrong, and I am wrong too.

At that time, we still didn't believe it.

Until the next day... Heh, the evil consequences came.

We forced the gods to death, and the Creator of the gods, 【Origin】, is crushing us to death."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi shook all over, his scalp numb.

Just with a few words, he could feel the shock and heroism of the gods destroying themselves.

I don't know what kind of development that world had to make mortals persuade the gods high above with their meager bodies!

It was predictable that 【Deception】 would oppose, but what about 【Fate】!?

He didn't have any established path that advocated saving the world, so how could He agree to this plan that could be called absurd?

Zhang Jizu of that world didn't understand either. They originally thought that the one they could persuade was 【Deception】. After all, even the jester's exploration of the real universe was "funded" by 【Deception】, but they didn't expect that the first to agree to their plan was 【Fate】.

But no matter who it was, this road was a dead end again.

Cheng Shi sighed silently, both moved by the whimsical ideas of Cheng Shi in another world, and having a headache for the problem he was facing right now.

What was the difference between him and that world now?

Both were counting the days to welcome the doomsday, only one had a long time, and one was right in front of them.

However, the experience of that world still gave him inspiration. At least 【Fate】, who advocated the established path to death, had the possibility of standing on the side of humanity, and 【Deception】...

Forget it, all hope still has to be placed on 【Fate】!

Cheng Shi nodded firmly, and shook his head at Zhang Jizu in front of him:

"I do want to live, even if it's just surviving, I admit it.

But... I cannot live in a world without him."

Zhang Jizu naturally understood who the "him" in Cheng Shi's words referred to. He was silent for a moment and tried to persuade: "This world also has Old Jia."

Cheng Shi shook his head again: "No, that is his Old Jia, but not my father.

My only connection with that starry sky is Old Jia. He was born and raised there, and I was also born and raised there.

And now he died there... My only wish is, if I must die, I also want to die there.

Thank you for your appearance, I think I know what to do."

Seeing that the other party was determined to this point, Zhang Jizu stopped persuading. He took back his hand and sighed, looking elsewhere and faintly saying: "Good luck."

Clearly a blessing, but Cheng Shi just felt that the Zhang Jizu in front of him was implying something.

However, he didn't care about these. Every world has its own misfortune and needs time to lick its wounds.

Cheng Shi left. Watching the figure of the other party leaving, the cold Zhang Jizu's brows gradually softened, and he was quite happy:

"Redemption completed, time to sleep forever."

On the other side.

The trio, realizing that the longer the time dragged on, the more likely Cheng Shi was to guess everything, directly dismissed the idea of turning back to find Cheng Shi to ask about the real universe, and turned to another alternative plan: finding the big cat!

Zhen Xin knew that Xiang Honglin had stepped on the real universe with Cheng Shi, so finding her was far more feasible than finding Cheng Shi.

And finding people was Hu Wei's strength. Not long after he retreated into the void, this Grand Marshal, who had connections all over the world, brought the druid, who also had connections all over the world, from another trial.

Xiang Honglin didn't even know what the three of them were doing at first, thinking it was just the Grand Marshal setting up another gathering, until Wei Mu mentioned the secret here and Zhen Xin mentioned the implication of the trial, she realized that 【Deception】 was actually going to show his cards to Cheng Shi?

"I knew He had no good intentions!

Otherwise, how could the road back disappear!?"

The big cat was anxious, but still restrainedly said, "No wonder, it turns out He wanted to use this method to cut us off outside the world, and then take us to another identical world?

Fortunately, we encountered a space-time storm and found our way home from the pig bridge!

Seeing that the perfect plan went bankrupt, He probably doesn't want to act anymore. Then isn't Cheng Shi in danger?

No, I have to find him!"

As she spoke, Xiang Honglin turned into a leopard and ran towards the void.

Wei Mu, Zhen Xin, and Hu Wei used all their means to stop her for a step. Seeing that Xiang Honglin was too strong to be a mortal, Zhen Xin had no choice but to shout:

"How can you save him by going now?"

The big cat didn't look back: "Even if I can't save him, I have to save him!"

"If you go, at most you will die and he will leave, or you will both die.

Xiang Honglin, believe me, I'm not harming the Fate Weaver, I have a way to save him!"

"!"

Xiang Honglin turned back suddenly, pleasantly surprised: "What way do you have?"

Zhen Xin was silent for a moment, looked into the distance, and said firmly as if she had made some determination: "Chen Xi needs a jester, but the jester doesn't necessarily have to be Lake of Xi Mu..."

"!!!"
