Chapter 1345: Changes in the [Memory] Archive

Changes in the 【Memory】 Archive

No one can fathom the mind of 【Deception】, not even the first collection item and the second collection item closest to Him.

It's just that no one expected that the magician who walked the furthest on the path of 【Deception】 would become 【Chaos】 on the eve of the Audience Meeting!

The good news is that in the Convention Meeting of the gods, Cheng Shi's side, rather than 【Deception】's side, has one more vote.

But the bad news is that Zhen Xin hasn't lost her ranking on the Ladder of Audience; she still sits at the top, failing to let Cheng Shi advance further.

Regarding this, Cheng Shi is quite emotional.

"Thank you."

Zhen Xin was stunned, puzzled: "What are you thanking me for this time? No matter how you look at it, shouldn't it be me thanking you?"

Cheng Shi shook his head: "I know you may not have wanted to become 【Chaos】, but you accepted it anyway, and after inheriting the most disorderly god, you didn't make this world more disorderly..."

Zhen Xin's expression became strange. She examined Cheng Shi, pondered slightly, and said "Oh":

"I understand. You are afraid that after becoming a god, I will start to implement my own will and find a new answer for this world in Zhen Xin's way?

Cheng Shi, this doesn't look like you.

The Weaver of the past was bold and careful, with no scruples, and only that kind of you could think of heaven-defying answers to solve one problem after another.

But now, your concerns have become too many, and they have become your shackles, dragging down your pace of progress.

You..."

Zhen Xin had wanted to enlighten Cheng Shi, but she swallowed the words back to her lips.

Because she felt that this kind of enlightenment wasn't "fair."

Anyone who learns that they are the connection of the entire universe would probably be crushed by that mountain-like and sea-like pressure.

Not to mention that the Weaver has already done well enough. He has always been on the path of seeking answers and has never compromised.

What Cheng Shi needs now may not be comfort and enlightenment, but some trust, some affirmation from friends.

So Zhen Xin smiled and stretched out a fist toward Cheng Shi.

"No matter where you lead the world, at least the clown will stand behind you and support you.

In an era with gods, writing the ending of the era with your own will—isn't that cool?

So there's nothing to worry about. Be yourself, Cheng Shi. We certainly believe in you, but the premise is that you also have to believe in yourself.

I still appreciate that clown who looks down on gods and deceives heaven and earth, and I also look forward to the clown bringing us a circus that shocks the universe."

Zhen Xin's words were from the heart and exceptionally sincere. Cheng Shi could also feel her sincerity—no, it could even be said that he felt her "Zhen Yi."

"Isn't that cool?"

This doesn't sound like something Zhen Xin could say. Could it be Zhen Yi in charge right now?

Cheng Shi's expression changed slightly, but he was still moved by this sincerity and smiled, bumping fists with her.

"Sure enough, cooperating with President Zhen is like a spring breeze.

Enjoy your temple. I have to make some other preparations.

The God of Fun won't keep avoiding me forever. Before the Audience Meeting, I have to accumulate the confidence to welcome all changes."

Zhen Xin smiled brightly: "Don't worry, you will at least have the vote of 【Chaos】."

Cheng Shi nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

Seeing Lord Cheng Shi disappear, Ke Ta Luo's smile also disappeared.

He stood aside nervously, waiting for the new god's instructions, but Zhen Xin didn't treat Ke Ta Luo as a real servant, just asked with a somewhat solemn expression:

"Do you know Sandlais?"

Ke Ta Luo was stunned: "True god, reporting, that is the experimental field of the Tower of Reason and the hometown of the clown Kraun."

"Not bad. Since you know that place, you must also know that there is a Joy Theater in Sandlais, right?"

Ke Ta Luo wasn't sure what Zhen Xin was asking, so he could only say what he knew:

"Yes, Kraun is the clown of the Joy Theater, and Lord Cheng Shi also once... er, performed on stage there."

"Yes, performing on a new stage..." Zhen Xin's expression became a bit complicated, confusion filling her eyes. Not knowing what she thought of, she sighed:

"The School of History traced back to the source and found a piece of past history on the ice sheet in the north of the Star Fall Continent. History proves that there was a clown actor among the crowd who fled the ice and snow to the south.

And coincidentally, there was also a clown among the northern migrants received by the Tower of Reason, and it was this clown who created the Joy Theater.

Do you think these two clowns could be the same person as the clown who left the theater?"

"?"

Ke Ta Luo knew quite a bit about the Star Fall Continent, but that was all picked up from the benefactor's mouth. He wasn't omniscient and transcendent, so naturally, he didn't understand who the clown Zhen Xin was talking about.

So he tentatively asked: "Is he Kraun's ancestor?"

Zhen Xin shook her head:

"No, there is no evidence to prove that these two clowns are related.

Their only connection is probably that they once performed on the same stage...

Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking it. The mind of the God of Fun is indeed impossible to guess.

Ke Ta Luo, take me around here and see if I can find more guidance He left behind."

"True god is above, it is my honor."

Void, 【Memory】 Archive.

After Cheng Shi left the 【Chaos】 temple, he came to the 【Memory】 archive for the first time through the dream-nightmare of the clown gathering place.

When he appeared in this pure white hall, Li Jingming was still wandering in the archive. He seemed to be memorizing everything in this archive.

Sensing Cheng Shi's arrival, he waved his hand slightly and summoned the other party to his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, confirming that he definitely hadn't guessed wrong. The Long Wang must have become an existence like Ke Ta Luo, the gatekeeper of the 【Chaos】 temple, and mastered control over this archive to a certain extent.

Conversations between smart people don't need too much. Sometimes it's just a look, an action, and both sides understand.

Li Jingming knew he couldn't hide it from Cheng Shi, and he hadn't thought about hiding it, so he nodded.

But the moment the guess was confirmed, Cheng Shi was still shocked:

"【Memory】 archive... is yours?"

"Yes, I got the key to the archive."

As he spoke, Li Jingming stretched out his hand and concretized a crystal hourglass that was crystal clear and infinitely changing. Every time the hourglass dripped, countless memories were refracted through thousands of ice crystals, making people dazzled, yet unwilling to move their eyes.

Cheng Shi recognized this thing in a second, and he never thought his guess was still conservative.

"Container..."

Li Jingming nodded, his expression solemn:

"Yes, container.

I originally came here to request an audience with 【Memory】, but He wasn't there. Instead, He drowned me with the memories in the archive. I struggled in the sea of memories, and then I grabbed this 'life-saving straw.'

Afterward, I realized that this was actually the container of 【Memory】. With it, I had the ability to control the 【Memory】 archive."

Cheng Shi was surprised first, then happy: "Then that collection item?"

"Still not working..." Li Jingming had clearly tried it, "The container is the key to the archive, but not the key to that collection item, because that collection item wasn't locked by 【Memory】.

If you want to see the memories buried in it, perhaps the answer is only Kraun's mask, which is the Foolish Play, your mask."

"..."

Cheng Shi had no choice. Even if he knew the Nose of Disguise was in the laughter and mockery, the problem was that this thing couldn't be found at all. He had originally thought about whether there was any cheating method to open the memory behind that collection item. Now it seems it was all wishful thinking.

The clown's aura slumped, and he curled his lips:

"So the collection item that stimulated 【Chaos】 just now was completely fabricated by you, right?

Good, good, good. On the first day of taking office, you used 【Deception】's methods to smear the memories in the archive. Long Wang, oh Long Wang, you are now a qualified blasphemer."

Cheng Shi gave a thumbs up appreciatively.

This time it was a real thumbs up.

Li Jingming accepted it happily and smiled: "Just influenced by being often by the side of the blasphemer."

"Hmm, not to mention, you have to stay away from Long Jing, don't let the clown pollute us."
