Chapter 1292

... what a real bitch.

The Outer God is not 【Deception】, but 【Fate】!?

Cheng Shi had already lost the ability to think; only one sentence remained in his mind, a joke that had been circulating among players since the beginning of the game's descent:

【Nothingness】 has always had only one god, and that god is 【Fate】!

Who could have imagined that a joke players made about 【Deception】's believers would actually come true.

But even so, even if 【Fate】 picked up 【Deception】's authority and came to this world, how did He deceive the 【Convention】 and successfully act as a proxy?

Could 【Deception】's authority alone do it?

Perhaps, but He clearly had an easier way!

Just from the world reset, one can see that the Outer God 【Fate】 absolutely possesses power surpassing the gods; otherwise, He could never have saved this world from the failed Creator experiment!

This makes sense; He had already experienced a world failure, and perhaps it was precisely because He "benefited" from it that He could reverse everything when this world failed, letting the world start over!

What a saving 【Fate】!

But what's the use?

His ultimate goal is still to take himself away, to create an established order that belongs to Him, and then use it to question 【Origin】!

Ha, how ironic.

A god lays out plans for countless ages, just to "ask" for an explanation!

This is 【Fate】; even knowing He must "resist," He is still "pandering"!

Your piety is really cheap; it's not worth 【Deception】's death!

Just as Cheng Shi was brainstorming, the real 【Fate】 was also experiencing a similar storm of will.

He looked at the other self, looked at the self who came to plunder the established order, and said with suspicion and incomparable sorrow:

"When did you replace Him?"

The Outer God 【Fate】 was without joy or sorrow:

"After the descent of 【Nothingness】, not long after the 【Convention】 was signed.

The universe could not contain Him; at that time, the spacetime storm had not yet dissipated, and the spacetime barrier was not fully stable. I borrowed the path to come, looking for a new established order, and happened to meet Him in the real universe just as He had crossed the spacetime barrier.

I told Him the story of the real universe; He half-believed it and swore to verify it with His own eyes.

I warned Him not to take risks, lest He walk into misfortune; He sneered at me for meddling too much, just like the Him in my world at that time...

So He died just like the Him at that time.

I witnessed Him being erased by the rules, and then I picked up His authority, came to this world, and found you, who are most like me, and the established order, which is most like His collection item.

The established order confined to a corner cannot become an offering to knock open the temple of 【Origin】; only by going to the real universe and comprehending the true will of 【Him】 is it possible to create the divine throne in the initial will of 【Fate】 when He descended!

I am also 【Fate】, and of course I know that only that divine throne is the ultimate answer for the universe!

So I must take the established order away.

This world may not perish, but everything must wait until I knock open the temple of 【Him】!"

Wait!!

After the descent of 【Nothingness】!?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.

Doesn't that mean that from beginning to end, the 【Deception】 of the Fear Sect was played by the Outer God 【Fate】?

Before 【Deception】 left as seen by Brother Mouth, He was already the Outer God 【Fate】?

Since the descent of 【Faith Game】, He had been lying to himself!?

"Bitch!"

Cheng Shi was full of despair and cursed loudly.

In the past, when cursing 【Fate】, although there was disgust, the tone carried a bit of mockery, but this time it was a sincere curse, a direct venting of his heart, a pure curse.

Stealing 【Deception】's authority, plundering 【Fate】's established order, and calling it for the sake of the deceased 【Deception】—if even a little bit was for 【Deception】, He would not and could not do these bitchy things.

Even if He killed himself—no, killed all the Cheng Shis in the world—and strangled all established order in the cradle, Cheng Shi would be willing to praise "Good!"; at least that would count as resisting 【Origin】.

But now!

He is still thinking about seeing 【Origin】!

Divine throne?

Screw the divine throne!

Cheng Shi wanted to flip the table; he wasn't playing anymore. The only hope he held for 【Deception】 and the Fear Sect had completely disappeared due to the revelation of the Outer God 【Fate】's true identity. Now, his path forward really only had two choices:

Either become the established order of the Outer God 【Fate】 and act as the adhesive for that damn divine throne, or become the established order of this world's 【Fate】 and still act as the adhesive for that bullshit divine throne.

Hahaha, am I confused, afraid, struggling, and working hard just to be an adhesive for some inexplicable chair?

Screw your adhesive, screw your established order, screw your 【Fate】, screw your 【Origin】!

You all want me to die, so I'll flip the table, and nobody plays!

My fate is in my own hands!

"..."

It's not exactly in his own hands, at least for now Cheng Shi still needs to wait, wait for his backup plan to take effect.

After the indignation, Cheng Shi returned to calm, while 【Fate】 remained indignant.

He took advantage of the fact that the Star Brilliance Knowledge Canon had not yet fallen, suddenly stimulating the remaining divine power to expand the misfortune of the universe again.

He hated this ending, hated the other 【Fate】's statement, hated 【Deception】's death, and even began to hate the 【Origin】 that let Him descend and shaped His will!

【Fate】 didn't know how He, who had always been pious, suddenly erupted with this world-weary and rebellious emotion; He only knew that even if the established order of this starry sky no longer belonged to 【Nothingness】, it must never be allowed to be plundered to other starry skies.

This was an insult to the deceased 【Deception】 and a desecration of the current 【Fate】.

He could not accept that another version of Himself from another world trampled on the dignity of 【Nothingness】 in this way, and even less did He want to admit the failure of 【Nothingness】 under this starry sky.

Yes, they had failed long ago; the moment 【Deception】 fell, the world was invaded by Outer Gods, and the established order was coveted by Outer Gods, they had already failed.

Even if 【Origin】 really hosted a cosmic experiment, what 【He】 wanted was definitely not an offering presented by a failed 【Fate】.

【Fate】, having lost His way forward, remained silent; a moment later, His gaze condensed, the spirals stopped abruptly, and He resolutely turned into a path of divergence!

This time it was not intimidation, not a threat, not acting, but truly dragging the universe into misfortune!

A terrifying fluctuation came from the void; for a time, the gods changed color and arrived one after another, but they were all blocked outside the void by the Outer God 【Fate】.

A faint, non-bright seven-colored light bypassed the eyes of the Outer God 【Fate】. Seeing this, Cheng Shi's pupils shrank; he immediately guessed that this must be the means the other party relied on to show their cards. Sure enough, the Outer God 【Fate】 said without joy or sorrow:

"I luckily escaped from the destruction of the universe and obtained this wisp of 【Origin】 power during the world-ending tide.

This is the supreme power; in the face of this power, the misfortune you detonate can only become your own misfortune.

Don't struggle; you can't win."

Saying this, He looked at Cheng Shi again and said with extreme coldness:

"Every life, whether human or god, is nothing more than a variable in this Creator's experiment.

Since that is the case, what meaning does the world have for you?

It is nothing more than a replica of countless petri dishes; in the face of a huge base, there will always be countless versions of you repeating the same fate.

I can tell you that in my world, the clown walked the exact same path as you; you are him, and he is you.

What you miss, he misses; what you care about, he cares about; what you work hard for, he works hard for; then that path he didn't finish... why can't you continue walking it?

He gave you a choice; don't let down his kindness."

"Screw your mother!

Don't kidnap me with the kindness of another me; I've made it very clear that we are all walking our own paths, and even if there is no way forward, I accept it.

But nobody is going to press my head to walk a path I don't want to walk!

I won't go with you, and I won't piece together that bloody divine throne; if the established order is truly the answer for the universe, then I am also the answer for this world, and it has nothing to do with you!

I will stay here, and even if I die, I will die here!"

"Stubborn."

The Outer God 【Fate】's eyes turned cold in a second, and a nothingness gale rose, turning into a giant hand that grabbed directly at Cheng Shi.

And just at this moment, a earth-shattering loud noise suddenly came from Cheng Shi's side; the pitch-black void shattered like a spider web and faded away like ink, the Star Brilliance Knowledge Canon was directly blasted away, and the scattered pages exploded into countless starlight in this terrifying momentum, passing away in an instant, extremely brilliant.

And amidst the splashing flowing light and residual stars, Cheng Shi looked back, only to see 【Fate】 under the shackles...

Where is 【Fate】!?

How did He disappear?

His pupils shrank sharply, his brain went blank for a moment, and before he could react to what had happened, he heard the Outer God 【Fate】 sigh:

"Both being 【Fate】, why go to such lengths..."

"!!??"

What!?

【Fate】... what happened to Him?
