Chapter 1354: The Old Gods do not die, the [Origin] is hard to be born

The Old Gods do not die, the 【Origin】 is hard to be born.

Wei Mu's conjecture is completely reasonable; even if it is just a conjecture, Cheng Shi cannot find a single loophole in it.

The various happenings of the universe seem to have already revealed the ending to the prophets: that the 【Origin】 is fundamentally impossible to defeat, and even the God of Amusement has had to use this escapist method to flee from this desperate Creator experiment.

But can one escape?

Just as Qin Xin wondered, on what grounds are 【Deception】 and 【Time】 so certain that they can deceive the Creator of this universal experiment?

Is it just on the strength of that sliver of 【Origin】 power fished up with a clown during the fake curtain call?

But once the new world becomes entangled with the power of the 【Origin】 again, will the 【Origin】 not know?

These questions are simply a bottomless abyss; no matter who thinks about them, it is impossible to come up with an answer.

The only thing Cheng Shi is certain of is that he has truly and surely walked onto the "predetermined" path. He is practicing the will of the Fear Faction, dragging every god who approaches 【Him】 off their throne. This is not merely a rebellion against the Creator, but 【Deception】 placing pieces with precision, time and time again.

Because He knows that if the gods of the old world do not die, the 【Origin】 of the new world cannot possibly be "born"!

So that is what 【Time】 meant by leaving; they had already made all the preparations, just waiting for the era to walk toward its end!

At this moment, Cheng Shi also finally understood why the Cheng Shi of the other world was so obsessed with a blood transfusion.

A blood transfusion was indeed necessary, but unfortunately, the other Cheng Shi swapped the wrong position.

He should not have replaced 【Deception】, because the throne waiting for him was supposed to be... "Origin."

The scene fell silent.

When knowing that this Fate Weaver beside them was very likely about to become the "Origin" of this world, no one could remain silent.

Even Wei Mu did not continue his deduction, but instead shook his head self-deprecatingly and said:

"Although I have repeatedly despised 【Stupidity】, I must admit that He has indeed seen through the essence of the universe.

Once the foolish act of 【Deception】 begins, the world may no longer 【exist】, nor will it be 【void】.

This is likely the most 'stupid' yet most 'perfect' answer He could submit in this era."

Cheng Shi's thoughts were boiling, his consciousness chaotic. He, who had previously wanted so much to find answers from the God of Amusement, was now actually somewhat afraid to uncover this truth.

As long as this matter was not confirmed from the mouth of the God of Amusement, everything discussed today would forever remain a conjecture.

But once these conjectures were confirmed by the God of Amusement...

Cheng Shi did not know how to face the so-called answer and the future.

The naturally rebellious 【Deception】 actually wanted to practice His rebellion in this way, but according to Wei Mu's statement, He would die, and the gods of the Fear Faction would also die!

【Death】, 【Silence】... Do they know about this? Will they agree?

Also, if the ending of the 【Void】 era is like this, then what was the meaning of that fake curtain call directed by the God of Amusement himself?

Cheng Shi's brows were tightly locked. Wei Mu saw Cheng Shi's thoughts, sighed faintly, and said nothing.

He vaguely guessed 【Deception】's idea, but he could not say it; there were some things he could not overstep his bounds to handle.

"Then what about the mask?"

Cheng Shi was unwilling to believe in the God of Amusement's "compromise." He began to deceive himself, "The mask of Ke Waun cannot be without meaning. Could the truth hidden in the 【Memory】 Archive be another path?"

A puppet is a puppet; the cold wood was very ruthless. He once again punctured Cheng Shi's fantasy.

"The mask cannot be without meaning, but it is not necessarily the answer.

Before I knew the term 'real universe' from your mouth, I also guessed that there was another starry sky outside the world. At that time, I was thinking whether the gods were cautious explorers or flamboyant aggressors when facing the starry sky outside the world.

Until today, when I knew everything, I realized that neither was true.

They are humble prisoners, powerless beggars. Facing the vastness of the real universe, 'insignificant' is a compliment to them.

Then the question arises.

How did a group of gods ruling the universe know that there was another world outside the world?

Before discovering all this, they would not have thought that they were just variables in an experiment.

So I think that the thing sealed by the mask is very likely the reason they understood the truth of the universe.

Since it was hidden in the 【Memory】 Archive, it should naturally be a memory. And as for a past that could make the layout-maker value it so much, thinking it over, it could only be the fear of that time.

When the gods discovered that they were not gods, that feeling, I think, would probably be more desperate than humans witnessing the descent of gods, right?"

"..."

More than that!

At this moment, just re-imagining the scene at that time made one feel a suffocation rising from the depths of their soul. If it were truly so, everyone would not dare to imagine how broken the person who glimpsed the truth of the universe at that time must have been.

Was it the God of Amusement?

Or was it 【Time】, who had always been setting the time for the universe?

No matter who it was, this despair was stretched by the era into fear, turning into the driving force for departing from the 【Origin】.

What is absurd is that a group of gods attempting to depart from the 【Origin】 seem to be personally crafting an "Origin," and what is even more absurd is...

Am I the "Origin"?

Cheng Shi's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He looked at Qin Xin with complex eyes, then at Wei Mu, not knowing what expression to make.

"So... in that new world, you should be 【War】, you should be 【Stupidity】, and you..."

He slowly turned to the Fire of Hope, only to see the inverted candle-flame person smile calmly, tilt his head, and say:

"There should be no place for me there.

I am a remnant of the old era and do not belong to that brand-new world.

I will die, and then return to 【Fate】.

Why are you looking at me like that? Don't be so sad. You also said that only by returning to the embrace of 【Fate】 can the final container be left behind. I will leave the 【Fate】 container to those who need it.

This can also be considered my final effort for this world.

If this world is truly just one of the Creator's billions of petri dishes... then helping it peel away from the experiment to become a real world, isn't that a Fire of Hope burning in the insignificance?

So He did not lie to me; He has always stood with me.

And I, too, will stand with you in that beautiful future."

"..."

Looking at the Fire of Hope before him, for a moment, the two words "Fate" suddenly popped into Cheng Shi's mind.

【Fate】, save us, help us!

Is such a future, in the end, a wrong turn or a predetermined path?

Ever since returning from the real universe, 【Fate】 has never appeared. Did He reject the path drawn for Him by 【Deception】, or did He compromise with a different way of approaching the "Origin"?

Is there really only this path left for this world to take?

No, I don't believe it.

Cheng Shi clenched his fists. After brainstorming for a long time, he suddenly seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Wei Mu and grinned again.

"The conjecture is very good; I will go and seek confirmation from Them.

But before the God of Amusement's plan is completely revealed, I don't want to just accept my fate like this.

Wei Mu, wait for my news. Next, I need your help."

The puppet was stunned. His two eyeballs rolled around, and he looked at Cheng Shi with great interest, saying:

"My lord, are you prepared to embrace another foolish act?"

"Foolish act?" Cheng Shi nodded, smiling mysteriously, "That's right, another foolish act!

If the path ahead is all foolish acts, I don't seek to be the first wise fool, but I want to be the first person to commit every foolish act.

The Fear Faction is not the Despair Faction.

As long as they still stand behind me, I will not despair. I still want to try!"
