Chapter 1357
Xiang Honglin? Xiang Honglin!
That's right, the figure appearing at the far end of the long bridge was indeed Xiang Honglin!
At this time, Xiang Honglin was obviously different from the one Cheng Shi knew; although she was still in that animal skin attire, colorful radiance shone all over her body, and her flowing long hair was like a crown of prosperity and a waterfall of life, dragging on the long bridge, like a long dress of vitality.
Xiang Honglin on the bridge also looked back, but when she saw that the person coming was Cheng Shi, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face slowly sank.
She swung her spear, pointing at Cheng Shi from afar, and said in a condensed voice:
"You shouldn't have seen me."
Cheng Shi's breathing stalled, and he didn't speak.
The other party's oppressive force was too strong, even stronger than all the gods he had seen, but what made Cheng Shi unable to speak was not Xiang Honglin's momentum, but the meaning in Xiang Honglin's words.
He indeed shouldn't be here, but he didn't expect to see Big Cat here!
Because the destination he had in mind was nowhere else, but the position where 【War】 launched a charge against 【Origin】!
He knew that in these billions of sliced universes, there were always people who had no more scruples and wanted to "see" 【Origin】, but he had thought he would run into another himself, who would have thought...
"Why are you here?"
Cheng Shi asked a question that didn't need an answer; this wasn't asking what he already knew, but out of instinctive concern.
Looking at Big Cat's posture, if he had come a little later, perhaps this figure full of vitality would have rushed in front of 【Origin】!
She must also have been waiting for a "fellow comrade," but didn't expect the one waiting to be Cheng Shi.
Seeing that Cheng Shi in front of her didn't have the same fighting spirit as her, Xiang Honglin smiled with relief; this showed that that world hadn't fallen to this point.
She turned her head and looked at the horizon without answering.
Cheng Shi frowned slightly and wanted to get closer, but before he could take a step, Xiang Honglin's spear was raised again, pointing at him.
"Stop, don't come over, don't get close to me."
"!!!"
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, looking at the never-before-seen divine light surrounding Xiang Honglin, as if thinking of something.
"This is...!?"
"Where are you preparing to go?" Xiang Honglin interrupted Cheng Shi's words and said in a deep voice.
"The God Corpse Field; I'm going there to find some... materials."
Xiang Honglin frowned; obviously, she knew that place, "It's not safe there; what about your friend, why... didn't she follow?"
Cheng Shi of course knew that Xiang Honglin was talking about the Xiang Honglin of his own world, but this time he couldn't bring so many people; he had escaped from under the nose of the God of Amusement under the protection of 【Time】. Once he notified his companions, this adventure might not go so smoothly.
But fortunately, he wasn't without companions outside the world.
"The plan of 【Fraud】 has reached the most critical moment; she is being watched, and I can't find her.
But don't worry, I'm not going on an adventure alone; Old Zhang is also outside."
Xiang Honglin nodded silently when she heard Cheng Shi mention Zhang Jizu; obviously, she also felt that the Gravekeeper was very reliable.
"Where is he?"
"......" Cheng Shi stalled, touched his nose, and said helplessly, "I haven't found him yet; this is also the reason I came here.
I just didn't expect to see you here.
Xiang Honglin, you..."
Cheng Shi's tone became extremely complicated, "I know you have your reasons for having to go, I won't persuade you, and I can't persuade you, but I want to ask you for a favor.
Help me anchor a world so I can bring Old Zhang back.
The Gravekeeper of that world inherited the authority of 【Death】, no, They all inherited authority; maybe They have a way to help you solve the current problem?"
Listening to Cheng Shi's words, Xiang Honglin smiled.
"Cheng Shi, you said you wouldn't persuade me.
Since you guessed why I have divine power, you naturally should know that divine power is of no use to me.
I have my mission, and that is also my path.
Alright, let's not talk about this; it just so happens that I also want to ask you for a favor.
I wanted to wait for a comrade, but that comrade I've never met has been slow to arrive; since that's the case, let's make one last deal, Fate Weaver.
I'll help you find the Gravekeeper, and you send me to the place I want to go."
"......"
Cheng Shi didn't want to make this exchange; he knew it meant that the Big Cat in front of him would lie down in the starry sky where 【War】 disappeared.
But he couldn't not do it, because Big Cat said this was a mission.
What a heavy word; what had their world experienced to make Xiang Honglin perform such a mission?
Can dying be considered a mission?
Time is running out, and there is no time left for Cheng Shi to struggle; perhaps he figured something out, his eyes became more determined, and his expression became calmer.
He nodded: "Alright, let's start."
Cheng Shi hadn't been to the world Zhang Jizu went to; he could only describe the 【Death】 Zhang Jizu he had seen and Old Zhang himself as much as possible, using the existence of the two of them as an anchor point to anchor that world, and then share the "coordinates" with Big Cat.
The two looked at each other from afar and began to imagine the destination where two Zhang Jizus existed at the same time.
But after a few breaths, Xiang Honglin on the bridge changed her expression slightly.
She seemed to be able to perceive the subtle changes under the bridge, and not long after, she shook her head at Cheng Shi: "Sorry, the place you anchored no longer exists."
"!!??"
At that moment, Cheng Shi's mind went blank.
"What did you say?"
Xiang Honglin couldn't bear it and sighed: "Either the anchored object disappeared, or the world disappeared, but I think no matter which one... it's probably not the result you want."
"It can't be..." Cheng Shi clenched his fists instantly, "How is this possible? There must be a mistake somewhere; Xiang Honglin, did you... perceive it wrong?"
Xiang Honglin shook her head: "You know, under the influence of this power, it is impossible for me to perceive it wrong."
"......"
Cheng Shi was silent; he never expected to get such a result.
But that 【Death】 Zhang Jizu had clearly said that even if that world was heading towards destruction, it would be enough for a mortal to live until the end of their life!
Then how could the destination not exist?
Could it be that the disappearance of Cheng Shi in that world triggered some chain reaction?
But it's impossible for the God of Amusement to kill a Fool with his own hands.
Cheng Shi was stunned; he stared at the constantly changing bridge surface under his feet, watching countless phantoms shuttle through it, and for a moment he was somewhat at a loss.
Old Zhang...
Seeing this, Xiang Honglin sighed long and said:
"People have to get used to accepting loss; my time is running out, and your time is running out too.
Since you didn't find him, then the God Corpse Field, I suggest you still..."
"I must go." Cheng Shi's voice became calm again, "No matter if Old Zhang is there or not, or where he is, this concerns the future of the world, the hope of the universe, and the path ahead of the predetermined; I cannot stop.
I am not that fragile; let's start, I will return on time to send you to the new battlefield."
Cheng Shi's eyes became incomparably clear, his gaze looking through this space-time bridge like an abyss; he held a die between his fingertips and threw it gently onto the bridge surface, both leaving a time anchor and as if paying tribute to an old friend.
"Can't waste time anymore, send me over."
