Chapter 1316

Reunion and reunion

Reality, a cemetery in an unknown province.

Night fell, the remaining stars were sparse, and there was not a single fire in the huge cemetery, which was extremely quiet.

In the pitch-blackness, sixteen large tombs could be vaguely seen lined up in the center of the cemetery.

【Life】, 【Sinking】, 【Civilization】, 【Chaos】, 【Existence】, 【Nothingness】... except for the fourth tombstone which had no name, the divine names of the other fifteen were all carved on the tombstones.

Zhang Jizu realized his "wish" and buried the gods here.

But!

This Zhang Jizu is not that Zhang Jizu; this cemetery also has the surname Zhang, but it is not the Zhang of Cheng Shi's world.

It's just that the figure standing in the cemetery silently mourning at this time is indeed the squinting Old Zhang from Cheng Shi's world.

He stood before a brand-new tombstone; this tombstone stood in the shadow of the 【Death】 tombstone; the patterns carved on it were exactly the same as the 【Death】 tombstone, only the size was slightly smaller, looking like the tomb of some successor of 【Death】...

A friend is newly buried, and the tomb-dweller is sorrowful.

Zhang Jizu stood before this tombstone for a long time, so long that even the few remaining stars in the night sky slowly lost their color, before he left without a word, walking along the long path of tombstones, and arrived before another broken tombstone, standing again.

This broken tombstone was hidden in the shadow of the 【Deception】 tombstone; it was broken today, and gravel was scattered all over the ground, not yet cleaned up.

Zhang Jizu was not prepared to clean it up; this was not his cemetery, and he had no authority to move it.

The owner of the cemetery didn't come to clean it up either, not because he didn't want to, but because he had already been buried in that small-sized 【Death】 tomb just now.

That's right, the Zhang Jizu of this world was dead.

He died in this cemetery right before Zhang Jizu's eyes.

This scene gave Zhang Jizu a great shock; he remembered that a few hours ago when the sunset was still there, the two were still appreciating the masterpieces in the cemetery in the afterglow, but as they walked, 【Death】 Zhang Jizu led him to that small-sized 【Death】 tomb just now.

The other party pointed to this tomb and asked him:

"How is it?"

"The will of the Benefactor once manifested as a giant skull, and we are all small skulls under His seat."

"Now the Benefactor completely embraces His own will, turning into a monument, so it's not too much for me to carve an identical small-sized tombstone for myself, right?"

Zhang Jizu was stunned at that time, thinking that the giant skull manifested by 【Death】 and the small skulls under the bone throne were vastly different in volume, but the two monuments you carved were also too similar in size.

But before he had time to speak, the person beside him fell to the ground before him with a "thud."

【Death】 divine power erupted violently, like a tide of world-destruction surging in all directions; for a time, the cemetery divine power resonated and shone brilliantly, but the next second, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Only a new grave and another broken tombstone were left.

Zhang Jizu was stunned; he watched with his own eyes as the cemetery formation driven by divine power buried the corpse of 【Death】 Zhang Jizu into the tomb, his brain buzzing, and he didn't react until the tombstone settled again; another self had actually died just like that?

Died!!?

In this world where all gods have passed away, who could kill a god silently!?

Although he was a gravekeeper like himself, he was also 【Death】!

A true god who held the authority of death actually died in his own cemetery, and even right before his own tombstone!

This terrifying scene completely shattered Zhang Jizu's composure, making him retreat rapidly, away from the tombstone, suspicious, breathing heavily; but not long after, his breathing sound in the grass he hid in slowed down, because he suddenly understood the other party's death.

Zhang Jizu shook all over, narrowed his eyes, in disbelief.

Substitution!

【Death】 was not killed, but died in place of someone else!

【Death】 did indeed have this talent among those bestowed; after all, choosing offerings to present to oneself is the right of the true god 【Death】, but who would He die for?

The answer is actually very simple, and very obvious.

Cheng Shi.

The Cheng Shi of this world!

At that moment, Zhang Jizu suddenly realized that 【Death】 Zhang Jizu had long since made a prediction for His death; He had once said:

"It doesn't matter, it can always be repaid; he can, you can, and I... can too."

Yes, he who had committed a sin against the Clown by being used by 【Deception】 was atoning, Cheng Shi who had brought back the answer from the real universe and brought the world to destruction was also atoning, so what about the other world's self, that 【Death】 Zhang Jizu, did He not need to atone?

No, He was also atoning, so He said "I can too."

He knew that when the opportunity came, 【Deception】 Cheng Shi would definitely go to atone, so He had long since swapped His life with the other party's.

The moment 【Deception】 Cheng Shi died, 【Death】 Zhang Jizu chose to die in his place.

He used His own life to exchange back Cheng Shi's life again!

He atoned for His guilt by returning to the embrace of 【Death】, but left deep shock for another Zhang Jizu from another world.

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes, his face exceptionally solemn.

If even 【Deception】 Cheng Shi died, then did the Cheng Shi of the original world... still have a chance to live?

Did the salvation plan fail?

No!

He didn't know, dared not think, and dared not guess.

And when the giant skull and An Mingyu heard this "No."

Real universe, unknown location.

Two wandering figures suddenly perceived something, looked at each other, and immediately flew toward a certain direction.

One of the figures made a clicking sound:

"I said today the stars were brilliant, flashing non-stop; something good must have happened; look, isn't it here?"

"Cheng Fate, guess if this time it's a flower bud or an unlucky ghost?"

That's right, these two figures are Cheng Deception and Cheng Fate whom Cheng Shi once met.

Cheng Fate remained cold, snorted and said: "Guessing is hope, hope always leads to disappointment, so I don't guess."

"So you are boring."

Cheng Deception curled his lips and accelerated again, rushing toward the place of space-time fluctuation.

Not long after, they saw a figure crying and laughing under a strange starry sky, and when they saw that figure, Cheng Deception was slightly stunned:

"【Deception】 divine power..."

"Looks like an unlucky ghost, but not so unlucky; at least he can still see Him, His will is still flowing in him..."

Cheng Fate did not agree; he shook his head with a slightly sympathetic face:

"No, he is even more unlucky than us."

"Time will wear away pain, but the divine power he carries makes this pain never scab over."

"Another poor person; let's go, let's go see him."

"Wandering for so many years, it's time to be promoted to 'Old Cheng Shi'."

Saying this, Cheng Deception and Cheng Fate slowly approached that figure.

But that figure was completely unaware of their approach, still immersed in a kind of helpless confusion, wooden and stiff.

Until Cheng Fate couldn't bear to see this and patted the other party's shoulder lightly, only then did that person wake up, look at himself in front, stunned, happy, and sad:

"Are you also homeless?"

Cheng Fate put away his coldness and squeezed out a smile: "The real universe is our home."

Cheng Deception nodded fiercely and gave the other party encouragement warmly:

"Don't be so sad; think on the bright side; bumping into us, the three of us can still play landlord today, right?"

Cheng Fate raised his eyebrows, becoming interested:

"Mahjong, more interesting than cards."

"What about the other one?"

"Call him out, three missing one."
