Chapter 1398
What a naive past.
So "The Self in Memory" didn't refer to the user's "past self," but rather some ignorant Cheng Shi in a memory?
Cheng Shi could never have dreamed that the key to connecting all the past would come from that time-deduction method he had used on Long Jing earlier.
But this also made him more certain that countless sliced universes had long been entangled together. The world he stood upon was not a single space-time, but a microcosm formed by the convergence of countless space-times that held expectations for the future.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a mix of emotions.
It seemed that although the plan had a loophole, it could still continue.
Silence began to spread. Not long after, Cheng Shi glanced at Zhen Xin with a complex expression. Zhen Xin understood and released her control over Jieshu.
Jieshu woke up from his stupor. Seeing that Zhao Xishi and Mo Shu had already stopped, and Su Yi Da was "ready to go," he was stunned for a moment, then frowned and opened a space-time tunnel leading outside the world at the shattered void behind the door on the roof.
The tunnel looked precarious and extremely fragile, yet the roaring, surging multicolored divine power within was still shocking.
Zhao Xishi's expression was one of astonishment; she asked curiously: "What kind of power is this?"
Jieshu said in a deep voice:
"A mixture of divine power, extracted, refined, and pieced together from players of different faiths. When I discovered that there was no turning back after falling into a certain world, I began to try to break through the space-time barrier.
I used almost identical divine power structures to continuously reconstruct the space-time composition I felt on the Pig Bridge. After experimenting countless times, I finally found an approximately correct method, thereby researching a loophole channel capable of temporarily opening the space-time barrier.
This is not a true channel; it is more like bypassing the obstruction of the space-time barrier, connecting with the characteristics of the Pig Bridge.
Therefore, this channel is extremely unstable, but it is enough for one person to go back and forth.
Remember to use the method I told you after you leave. When you return, just jump off the Pig Bridge, and the same aura will guide you to descend here."
As he spoke, Jieshu glanced at Su Yi Da: "It's time to go, Trickster Master."
Everyone looked at Su Yi Da, only to see Su Yi Da frown, sizing up the extremely unstable channel, and ask: "Just this? Are you sure I can really come back?"
Jieshu smiled: "This question shouldn't be asked of me, but of yourself."
"..."
Su Yi Da clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind. Before leaving, he threw a parting remark at everyone:
"I will let you witness the strength of the Trickster Master."
With that, he decisively jumped into the channel and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Seeing Su Yi Da's figure vanish, Zhao Xishi glanced at Jieshu, her smile meaningful:
"Alright, the fool has already been tricked away by you. Now, let's talk some truth.
Jieshu, what exactly are you planning?
I don't believe you did all this just to kill some Cheng Shi and find a world without a Fate Weaver.
Yes, I admit, the Fate Weaver's reputation is too great, and he is very close to the one surnamed Zhen; I also find it unlucky. If I could leave this frustrating world, I would be willing too.
But that doesn't mean I have to play the fool and ignore your schemes.
Everything you have done right now looks more like you are setting up the Trickster Master you brought with you to be killed.
What's the matter? Does he have a grudge against you? Otherwise, why would you scheme against him like this?"
Long Jing and Mo Shu also looked over because of these words. Jieshu took in everyone's expressions and hummed with a laugh:
"The Trickster Master and I are partners; we have no grudges. Why would I scheme against him?
We are just each taking what we need."
"How is it each taking what you need?" Long Jing became interested and asked with a smile.
Jieshu smiled mysteriously.
"When he comes back, you will naturally know."
Outside the space-time barrier, the real universe.
This was Long Jing's first time setting foot in the real universe. The moment he left the world through the space-time tunnel, he felt a suffocating loneliness.
Even though the starry sky here looked no different from the one inside the world, only vaster and more distant, he could not find a trace of familiarity.
He felt like a lone boat drifting in the vast sea of stars, with no support for the path ahead.
Fortunately, he still had the clown's company!
Even if the clown was currently merging with divinity, hiding on his body and unable to move, realizing that there was someone by his side brought a sense of security.
Long Jing took a deep breath. He dared not waste time and decisively crushed his ring.
The figure of Cheng Shi from another world appeared before him again. This time, the figure in the memory did not look at Long Jing, but closed his eyes to perceive for a long time, guiding Long Jing in a direction.
The memory figure set off immediately, and Long Jing followed closely behind. Not long after, they crashed straight into a space-time storm.
The acrobat was terrified by this sudden spread of darkness. If he hadn't trusted Cheng Shi and seen the memory figure dive straight in, he would never have stayed in place, waiting for that pitch-black storm to swallow him.
The formation of a space-time storm signifies the destruction of a world, and also represents the birth of a world.
In this vortex of rebirth, Long Jing and that figure drifted down onto the space-time Pig Bridge.
The memory figure smiled and pointed under the bridge without saying a word.
At this moment, it no longer looked like a vivid recording, but more like a pre-written program. It mechanically and flawlessly led Long Jing to find the Pig Bridge, and then provided an anchor point for the consciousness anchor beneath the Pig Bridge.
And this anchor point was "The Self in Memory," which anchored Long Jing to a world where a past Cheng Shi existed.
Long Jing also thought of such a world in his heart, but this will was general and broad; it could only ensure that jumping down from here would lead to such a world, but where exactly this world was, no one could say for sure.
Seeing the memory figure point beneath the Pig Bridge, Long Jing understood instantly. Gritting his teeth, he jumped off the bridge.
The huge figures of the Void-Whispering Tide intertwined, swimming wantonly beneath the Pig Bridge, as if opening a door to space-time for Long Jing.
Void, seeing the void again.
When Long Jing regained his consciousness and opened his eyes again, he found that he was already standing on the "stage."
In the distant void, a figure slowly walked over.
That figure was so familiar, exactly the same as the Trickster Master he was currently playing.
It was just that this Trickster Master before him looked like he hadn't experienced any vicissitudes yet; his face still looked naive, but that pair of eyes longing to become stronger could not deceive anyone.
As early as this time, he was already an ambitious Trickster Master.
It's here; it really is that trial!
Su Yi Da, who was walking over, naturally noticed this figure in the void. At first, he was a little afraid, fearing that he had bumped into some unknown existence in the void.
But when he saw that the figure looked like a person, and an immobile person at that, he decisively suppressed the fear in his heart and crept toward this figure.
His mind became heated, but his posture became increasingly cautious.
However, in the face of a sufficiently large power gap, caution was useless. Before he could even get close to that figure, he was locked directly in the void by a force.
Immediately afterward, a sneer rang out:
"Su Yi Da, how come I didn't notice you were this bold at this time?
Compared to a Trickster Master, you look more like a Master of Desire, don't you?"
As he spoke, that figure stood up quietly, revealing that face exactly the same as his own before Su Yi Da.
"What a naive past; I'm back again.
What's the matter, no welcome?"
"!!!"
At this moment, the past Su Yi Da's pupils shook violently, his whole body numb.
