Chapter 1312

~7 min read 1,316 words

The universe leaves the stage, finally returning to 【Nothingness】...

At this moment, where is 【Existence】?

At the end of the universe, outside the world, in this crack of 【Existence】 where this starry sky borders countless other starry skies, 【Time】 manipulated that invisible pointer that could cast a shadow, meticulously aligning the time of the world with the real universe.

【Memory】 was also here; this was His first time leaving the universe and seeing the real universe with His own eyes.

He looked back into the world, toward the void where the gods and Outer Gods were fighting in a mess, and for a time found it difficult to choose whether to remember the vastness of the real universe or to record a brilliant final performance for the world.

Those vicissitudes of eyes that had precipitated the history of countless stars seemed to have become twice as heavy at this moment; He shook His head, looked at His sibling god who was still busy beside Him, and asked calmly:

"The era of 【Nothingness】 is about to end; the gods' guesses were correct, the universe will eventually return to 【Nothingness】."

"You always say there will be no new era after 【Nothingness】; since the world has already walked into a dead end, then what is the meaning of everything you are doing now?"

【Time】 did not speak, just kept aligning.

【Memory】 turned His gaze toward the real universe, feeling the vast, redundant, chaotic, and broken memories floating within it, and said with emotion:

"These memory fragments made me remember the death of 【Truth】, remember the charge of 【War】, remember the world reset, and that scene where 【Time】 saved the world."

"The power He has now, you once possessed too."

"What is hidden in that power, is it the answer? Otherwise, I cannot understand why you would let an Outer God who does not belong to this world personally destroy everything you protected."

"Is it time to stop hiding it from me?"

"..."

【Time】 was busy aligning, still not speaking.

【Memory】 mocked Himself with a smile:

"【Time】 has no time, 【Memory】 does not know memory;"

"【Deception】 has never deceived, 【Fate】 has lost fate..."

"What a fine era of 【Nothingness】, what a fine foolish play of the gods."

"So 【Stupidity】 was right; the universe is just a foolish act."

"But now the world is coming to an end, 【Time】... will you still save the world?"

【Time】 finally spoke; He nodded, His gaze firm:

"I have always been saving the world."

"But aren't you watching the Outer God rampage right now, letting the universe fall into misfortune? Could it be that the essence of 【Existence】 is to no longer exist?"

"No, the essence of 【Existence】 is to exist eternally, yet also be eternally nothing."

"It's coming, that moment is about to arrive."

"..."

【Memory】 could not understand 【Time】, but He chose to trust 【Time】; the essence has always been deeper than the appearance; at least on this point, He believed firmly.

The crack of 【Existence】 was "peaceful and quiet," but inside the universe, they were fighting fiercely.

The battle had reached the final moment; except for 【War】 who was still resisting, all the gods had fallen.

It was not that the Outer God was fierce, but that the power of 【Origin】 could not be defeated!

Cheng Shi knew he should have fallen long ago; relying solely on the hot blood of 【War】 could not defeat the Outer God 【Fate】, but the cold-bloodedness of 【Fate】 seemed to insist that Cheng Shi watch this world be swallowed by misfortune bit by bit.

He was high above, looking down on the universe, extremely ruthless:

"In order to find the Fixed, I have witnessed countless universes collapse and countless worlds leave the stage; I thought all this would end in this era."

"Unfortunately, the Fixed has the luck of the Fixed, but not the life of the Fixed."

"Everything will end; 【Nothingness】 has left the stage."

"There will never be another era; the collapse of the world will attract the gaze of the Creator, 【He】 will completely erase the traces of this starry sky and reshape an experiment here."

"And in this tide of world-destruction, I will snatch a wisp of new 【Origin】 power and go to other worlds to continue searching for the Fixed who can break all this."

"As for you..."

"Nothingness will be your eternal tomb; embrace nothingness; this is the last moment of your existence in this world, in this experiment, in the real universe."

As soon as the words fell, pitch-blackness swallowed the vision of all life; the stars of the vast universe were all extinguished, and the flowing light was all extinguished.

The entire starry sky, no, it should be said the entire void, only had one weak flame left; that was not some Fire of Hope, but Cheng Shi, who was imprisoned in the misfortune of 【Fate】, the only eye he could still open!

The left eye of 【War】!

The firelight swaying and about to go out in that eye could only illuminate a corner of the surroundings; He turned His eyeballs unyieldingly, looking around with all His might, but could no longer see any images related to the world.

Time passed second by second; the world seemed to have long since been destroyed; even He Himself was not sure whether this remnant consciousness was an obsession after falling or the ashes of memory blooming when the world collapsed.

He could not move, nor could He struggle, just watching the pitch-blackness approach bit by bit, squeezing the last light before his eyes, which was also the last glimmer of life in this universe.

The flames grew weaker and weaker, the firelight was extremely distorted, and all the anger, unwillingness, suppression, and despair erupted at this moment, but still failed to make the fire in His pupils regain its vitality, just as if a flash of light before death flashed suddenly!

But it was in this fleeting explosion that the eyes that should have been angry, unwilling, suppressed, and desperate suddenly changed color, becoming cunning, playful, sarcastic, and teasing!

Yes, at the last moment when the world was about to usher in nothingness, Cheng Shi smiled.

He was laughing at Himself, and also laughing at 【Fate】.

The Outer God wanted to steal a wisp of 【Origin】 power again in the tide of world-destruction and continue His path of plundering the Fixed, but the problem is, before you stole the thing, did you ask the "unaware" owner?

【Origin】 is hateful, but 【Fate】 is equally hateful.

Since that is the case, why not use a hateful god to deal with a hateful god?

Cheng Shi hadn't given up yet; he still wanted to "summon" the 【Origin】!

Since the misfortune launched by the Outer God 【Fate】 could make the world completely collapse, could the original misfortune of this world drag the Outer God who was about to leave to death in this starry sky that had no more hope!?

How would you know without trying?

So Cheng Shi smiled; in the last second of his consciousness fading, he no longer struggled, but used his remaining divine power to launch...

Fate also has wrong turns!

Yes, fate also has wrong turns, so does 【Fate】 have wrong turns!?

Yes! Of course there are!

Just at the moment before the world completely fell into nothingness, a pair of eyes that even gods could not imagine suddenly opened before the gods!

Those eyes instantly swept across the fear in the gods' eyes, and disappeared the next second.

Unfortunately, Cheng Shi did not see it.

The last glimmer of fire in His pupils extinguished with the exhaustion of divine power; at that moment, on the stage with no more "audience" watching, the curtain of the era slid down suddenly, burying the past of this starry sky into eternal darkness.

Thus...

The universe burned to extinction, and nothingness descended.
