Chapter 1383

Audience of the Assembly · 【Origin】

【Deception】 still didn't mention a word about His plan.

Cheng Shi, who had gradually calmed down, had actually guessed this result long ago, because 【Time】 once said that 【Deception】 had lost the qualification to guide.

Cheng Shi understood what this meant: to find the path to the future, the established will must approach 【Origin】, but everything 【Deception】 did was moving away from 【Origin】, so He could not contaminate Himself with His will.

Furthermore, the God of Amusement still had a wisp of 【Origin】 power in His hand, which was the power He fished for by using Himself as bait through the false curtain call. This wisp of 【Origin】 power also had problems!

Seeing Zhen Xin, who summoned a spacetime storm for herself, and the big cat, who bore 【Origin】 power, both tried their best to warn him never to touch 【Origin】 power, so is it really the countdown to the world's destruction?

Just as he thought of this, the eyes in the void nodded:

"Yes.

When 【Origin】 power descends into the world, the length of the experiment time left for the petri dish is locked. This means that no matter how the world struggles, as long as there is no result, it will eventually collapse completely when the experiment time ends.

And this time length, 【Time】 guesses, is the span of the 【Nothingness】 era.

So everything returning to nothingness is not 【Nothingness】's expectation for the universe, nor is it the gods' understanding of the era, but a cruel countdown under the truth of the experiment.

To save the world, one must come up with a solution before the era ends."

Cheng Shi's heart tightened. He almost "ignored" all the information, and only the words "come up with a solution before the era ends" remained in his mind. The pressure brought by these few words made him feel suffocated, and he blurted out anxiously: "Then when does the era end?"

"Heh."

【Deception】 laughed self-deprecatingly, "This is the most critical question. Neither I nor 【Time】 can say at what moment the countdown ends.

But we both feel that moment is coming, because the destruction of other worlds will happen at the latest shortly after the Audience of the Assembly...

Don't be so nervous; 'shortly' here is relative to the length of the entire era. From a human perspective, there might still be quite some time.

Who would have thought that the game originally bestowed to fathom 【Origin】's will would have its fabricated game rules become part of the established.

【Time】 is so busy precisely because He is racing against time for this world."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi became nervous again. He brainstormed a lot and still had many things he didn't understand. In his confusion, he frowned and asked again:

"The established will cannot be contaminated, fine, I understand and accept that.

But this so-called future can't possibly be letting a mortal who is still ignorant near the end of the era instantly complete the reversal of the Creator's experiment, right?

My lord, I heard his conjecture about the Fear Sect's plan from Wei Mu; you should know what I'm thinking.

I just want to ask, is his guess... correct?"

【Deception】 glanced at Cheng Shi without joy or sorrow, looked away, and did not respond.

But this glance made Cheng Shi's brain explode!

It's true!!!

It's actually true!

【Deception】 and 【Time】's plan is definitely the conjecture Wei Mu mentioned: let the established replace 【Origin】's gaze, thereby stripping the world from the experiment!

Otherwise, at such a moment close to the truth, 【Deception】, who had laid out plans for an era, would never let Himself have the slightest risk of going astray!

His silence is His affirmation!

But the question is how to replace? How to deceive the true experiment host, that high and mighty Creator, 【Origin】?

By relying on that wisp of fished 【Origin】 power?

No, 【Chaos】 Seeing Zhen Xin from another world said: Do not touch 【Origin】 power, do not use 【Origin】 power, do not keep 【Origin】 power!

【Origin】 power is a deadly poison that will plunge the universe into crisis.

If so, why did the God of Amusement still fish for that wisp of 【Origin】 power?

Cheng Shi thought and thought, and could only think of one answer: to use this wisp of 【Origin】 power to calculate the true end of the era and find the exact moment when the world will finally return to nothingness!

He suddenly raised his head, looked at those eyes that no longer had any joy, and asked nervously:

"Is that so, my lord?"

【Deception】 looked down at His believer again and hummed a laugh with an inexplicable meaning.

"Good idea.

Unfortunately, a bit naive.

A strategist should not only plan for others but also for himself. The curtain call of the era is imminent; knowing that the road ahead is a dead end, yet still using the only power in one's hand to measure the distance between oneself and the dead end—this is not waste, it is stupidity."

"..."

"Fortunately, the clown's stupidity did not infect his patron.

I have my own use for 【Origin】 power, provided that I possess it again."

"???"

What do you mean by possess it again?

Haven't you already possessed it? There haven't been many days from the false curtain call to the Audience of the Assembly; have you used it all up?

Even if you're rich, you don't spend it like that, right?

Wait!

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly froze.

He thought, since the blind woman's prophecy in the trial brought a wisp of 【Origin】 power to this world, then 【Fate】's prophecy at the beginning of the era... wouldn't it also have a wisp of 【Origin】 power?

No wonder the God of Amusement just said the countdown is the span of the entire era. Cheng Shi was too nervous to notice; it turns out that at the moment the era opened, the world's destruction was already doomed...

What a 【Nothingness】 era!

This isn't leading to nothingness; this is clearly silence in nothingness!

But what was the initial wisp of 【Origin】 power used for?

Although Cheng Shi is the established, he is after all only a mortal life, having lived for only twenty-some years at most. He never participated in the countless years of the Star Fall Continent, so naturally, he couldn't find the traces of that wisp of 【Origin】 power.

But he really wanted to know where this crucial power was used, because in the current state of "no guidance," the traces of 【Deception】's layout were very likely the clues for him to find the answer.

So he looked at his patron again, and when he saw the dim star points in those eyes, a flash of light suddenly crossed his mind.

"!!!"

"My lord, at the beginning of the era when 【Nothingness】 descended, the eyes of the two 【Nothingness】 masters had no brilliant stars to speak of, but now...

The star points in your eyes are the projection of 【Origin】 power on your divine body, right!?"

"..."

Perhaps having long anticipated the arrival of this day, 【Deception】 hummed a self-deprecating laugh and shook His head:

"The world thinks 【Nothingness】 eyes are brilliant, but they don't know that what is truly brilliant is 【Origin】, not the gods.

The puppets on the stage are puppets after all, just marionettes controlled by strings.

That's right, the star points you see are indeed the manifestation of 【Origin】 power. The star points in my eyes are dim now, not because I exhausted it, but because I never obtained it during that false curtain call!

That heartless Creator didn't even look at this starry sky at all. Even when the established, which 【Fate】 had promoted since His birth, called out to Him, 【He】 didn't even glance down once.

This is 【He】, this is the host after the experiment, that true god without any emotion, 【Origin】."
