Chapter 1308

Rebellion carved into the bones!

Cheng Shi knew he had been saved.

When he was pulled into that coffin, he saw a pair of eyes identical to his own; although the two pairs of eyes looked at each other for less than a second, he saw countless emotions in those eyes.

Regret, guilt, nostalgia, unwillingness, struggle, despair, hope, and even a trace of indescribable envy and jealousy...

It was this short glance that made him seem to see another life of his own, having experienced another brilliant yet fleeting life.

Afterward, he was knocked unconscious; before his vision completely fell into darkness, borrowing the faint light of the starry sky, he saw four large characters neatly carved on the back of the coffin lid:

Live well.

Printed text.

This was Old Jia's expectation for him, and also the entrustment of the other Cheng Shi to him.

At that moment, his eye sockets didn't even have time to moisten before his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

Cheng Shi was sealed, sealed in that coffin by another "Outer God 【Deception】" in the guise of Zhang Jizu.

No matter who lifted the coffin and saw the figure lying inside, they would never realize that it was actually the Fixed of this world, because 【Deception】 knows deception best, and 【Cheng Shi】... knows Cheng Shi best.

He knows how to hide himself, and even more so how to deceive all living things.

So when Cheng Shi woke up and saw that the figure was not his own, he immediately realized what had happened and guessed where the other self came from.

But he could not accept this fact, because this not only meant that Old Zhang had left this world to save him, but also meant that his other self was about to die before the Outer God 【Fate】.

Regardless of whether the other party truly became an offering, death would be his unchangeable end, and it would be his last play on the stage of this world.

Why?

Cheng Shi collapsed on the ground, twisting in pain; this question rose from his heart again, only this time he was not asking the Outer God, nor the other Cheng Shi, but asking himself:

Why must he suffer so much misfortune?

Why has "Fate" never favored him?

Is this what is called the Fixed?

But why must suffering be tied to the Fixed, and what is the meaning of everything the 【Origin】 has forced upon him!?

Wise men always say that the more you know, the more painful it is, but for Cheng Shi, knowing nothing is even more painful.

This pain almost condensed into substance; just one look at it, and one could empathize, covered in wounds.

An Mingyu on the side gripped her skirt tightly, watching Cheng Shi's figure tremble; the Lord on the bone throne also fell into silence because of this, and even the chattering skulls in the Fish Bone Hall quieted down; at this moment, the entire void was permeated with the aura of Cheng Shi gradually collapsing.

Although An Mingyu did not know what plans others had, saving Cheng Shi was undoubtedly a "win"; at least the hope of this world still existed, at least they did not let the Outer God take away their friend.

But...

Her friend was not just Cheng Shi.

There was a question she had wanted to ask for a long time, but due to Cheng Shi's state, she had delayed speaking.

Until long after Cheng Shi slowly calmed down, when she saw the other party stand up from the ground expressionlessly, she finally found an opportunity to approach again, but before she could speak, Cheng Shi seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a calm face:

"Sorry, I didn't see her."

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning that made no sense, blasting An Mingyu's consciousness white, completely draining her last bit of strength; she covered her mouth and instantly collapsed to the ground, shaking her head frantically, unable to believe the fact she had heard.

How could a magician who looked so much like 【Deception】 be absent from this brilliant final performance, especially since she had already been brought under the stage, only a step away from going on stage; what reason did she have to choose to give up the opportunity to go on stage and leave quietly?

Since there was none, it meant she didn't want to not go on stage, but that she no longer had the opportunity to go on stage.

Thinking of this, An Mingyu, who had been pieced together bit by bit by Cheng Shi and the Fated One, shattered to the ground again.

This believer who had been abandoned by the Benefactor one after another burst into tears, just like Cheng Shi just now, unable to catch her breath.

Sure enough, misfortune is contagious, and so is pain.

But Cheng Shi now could no longer perceive An Mingyu's grief; his gaze skipped over the other party and looked straight at the giant skull on the bone throne at the end of the stairs, asking word by word:

"My Lord, are you still protecting us?"

"..."

"My Lord, do you believe what an Outer God says?"

"..."

"My Lord, do you really think that the divine throne built by the Outer God 【Fate】 with the Fixed can move the 【Origin】, make it stop the experiment, and save this world?"

"..."

"The Creator personally kneaded tens of thousands of sliced universes, just to find a 'divine throne' 'tributed' by experimental variables from among them!?"

"Ha, My Lord, don't you think this is ridiculous!"

"..."

Cheng Shi's voice grew louder each time, his tone heavier with each sentence; the green flames in the giant skull's eye sockets surged, but He still maintained silence, without any response.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi sneered, shook his head, and asked expressionlessly again:

"My Lord, have you ever been afraid?"

"..."

"You must have been afraid, otherwise you wouldn't have agreed with the answer given by the Outer God 【Fate】."

"But you must not be afraid enough, otherwise you wouldn't have agreed with the answer given by the Outer God 【Fate】!"

"I think I need to make you recognize fear again; it is not the wariness of the 【Origin】, but facing the 【Origin】 directly and feeling the shadow it casts!"

"Sorry, My Lord, I am very grateful for your past protection; whether all this is true or false, it doesn't matter anymore."

"I must let the world know why I hate the Fixed, and I must also let the Outer God know why there is a Fear Sect in this world!"

Saying this, Cheng Shi took out a 【Fate】 die; he held this die high and said coldly to 【Death】:

"【Fate】 has gifted me much; now, it is time to use the way of 【Fate】 to let 【Fate】 know:"

"Whether it is the life of a mortal, the life of the Fixed, or the life of 【Fate】..."

"As long as it touches fate, there is never a straight path, only wrong turns!"

"Since He wants so much to send me to see the 【Origin】, why go to the trouble of building some divine throne?"

"And why wait for some space-time storm?"

"At this very moment, right here, I also want to see what that ruthless Creator looks like!"

"No need to send me to see 【Him】, I will make 【Him】 come to see me right now!"

Saying this, Cheng Shi directly tossed the 【Fate】 die and covered his face with a Singer's mask; that mask was so cold that even hot tears could not warm it.

But that mask was also so warm, because it was one of the few "legacies" left to Cheng Shi by the 【Nothingness】 of this world.

"Lies like yesterday... what a fine 'lies like yesterday'; a monstrous lie actually makes me only able to sneer at today."

"Ha."

"This is the end."

"No matter how brilliant the stage is in the future, the clown... should leave the stage."

Cheng Shi watched as the 【Fate】 die rolled a 1 on the bone stairs; he raised his hands high and shouted to the boundless void:

"Fate is like the stars, looked at but unreachable."

"【Origin】, roll out and see me!"
