Exchange, Su Yi Da's Ambition

"You... you are...!!!"

Su Yi Da could no longer speak, not only because he saw an identical self, but also because the other party had easily trapped him in the void!

What kind of power is this?

What kind of strength is this!?

Being a 【Deception】 believer, he had enough ability to accept such an incredible scene; he even had some guesses about the scene before him.

So his trembling was not just fear and unease, but also a trace of excitement and joy.

He seemed to have seen his own... future?

I actually became this strong?

Is this an illusion, or a delusion?

Who is Long Jing? He is a peak liar, the number two on the 【Deception】 leaderboard, and the most accomplished acrobat. Facing a Trickster Master who still looked naive, he could see through all the other party's thoughts with just one glance.

No wonder Jieshu was willing to play with the Trickster Master; with this temperament, who wouldn't want to try tricking him?

It's like a painter encountering a blank sheet of paper that thinks it's colorful; if you don't smear a few strokes on it, it's simply a waste of heaven's gifts.

But tricking also requires a method. In the clown's script, this Su Yi Da was to be exchanged to the "future," which was also the key to Long Jing's subsequent return home.

After losing their "backbone," 【Death】 was clearly somewhat lost. A god should never ask a mortal for advice, but Cheng Shi was the established fate, the person who knew the most secrets in this world besides a few insiders. He maintained the future of the world, so his every move was watched by the Fear Sect.

"People will never see themselves clearly until they have experienced failure.

Although I have seen myself clearly, I envy you now even more.

You are very smart, and you guessed right; it's just as you thought, I am Su Yi Da, I am you from the future."

"!!!"

The opportunity has arrived!

For some reason, this sentence suddenly appeared in Su Yi Da's mind.

Even as a Trickster Master, he instinctively felt that this was highly likely to be an unprovoked illusion, but the other party was too much like him—look at these eyes, expressions, demeanor... except for the slightly vicissitudinous face, this was completely another self!

If this really was an illusion, then the only one who could make it so realistic would be that legendary 【Deception】 God-Chosen, Zhen Xin, right?

But for some reason, Su Yi Da was more inclined to believe that this was himself, himself from the future.

His eyes were filled with longing for strength.

Seeing this, Long Jing sneered again.

"Perhaps you think I am powerful, but in their eyes, I am still trash."

Although it sounded like self-deprecation, Su Yi Da always felt that the other party was mocking him.

His expression changed. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back, turned the doubt into a question, and asked: "Why are you here?"

Long Jing raised an eyebrow, his smile playful:

"What, afraid?

I said you were smart, so you guessed right again.

Do you know what soul deprivation is?

A failed me met a past you. I have walked the path ahead of you, so I know how to walk it with the least time and effort.

And you, you only need to contribute your own shell to reach the peak of life with me in advance.

How about it, is this cooperation a win-win?"

"!!!!!"

At this moment, Su Yi Da was truly afraid.

He trembled for a moment, but only for a moment.

As the same entity, he keenly discovered the fleeting look of teasing in the other party's eyes, and then his pupils shrank, and he said with trepidation and suspicion: "You are lying!"

"When two lies meet, it becomes truth; you cannot see through my lies."

"I can see it; you are tricking me!

You won't deprive me of my soul, but you have indeed encountered failure."

Su Yi Da said his judgment with his neck stiffened, and even felt a trace of disdain for his future self.

How could I, being so talented, fail? You must have taken the wrong path!

Long Jing was stunned. He had really never seen such a fun-loving person who could disdain his future self.

Not a brother, are you 【Dementia】?

Could it be that this path of mine wasn't walked by yourself?

Even if we are people from different worlds, you don't know that. How dare you separate your future and past like this?

Long Jing was amused. He grabbed Su Yi Da's neck and grinned: "You think I dare not kill you?"

Su Yi Da's face turned purple, but he still struggled and said: "You won't, otherwise you wouldn't have come back to find me!"

"..."

Tsk, quite like a certain clown.

Long Jing let go in a second and snorted coldly, "You are very smart; you are worthy of being me."

He waved his hand, releasing Su Yi Da's restraint, and turned his back to Su Yi Da, who was kneeling on the ground breathing heavily, saying:

"I didn't come back by myself; they sent me back.

In the future, all gods have fallen, the divine thrones are vacant, and everyone covets the sixteen divine thrones that transcend the universe.

People of the world band together to fight for them, and I am one of them.

But I still haven't reached the height where they are, and my companions question me everywhere, so I came back.

This is not a reunion, but a test. I need to prove myself in the past to meet their expectations.

But I... don't want to."

"Why?" Su Yi Da questioned excitedly, "Those are divine thrones! Don't you want them? Have you forgotten our original intention!?"

So now it's "we"?

Long Jing turned his head and glanced at Su Yi Da, who had a fanatical expression, and shook his head, "I want to, but I know I can't snatch them from them.

They don't need friends to share the divine thrones with them, but cannon fodder to fill the road to the divine thrones.

I have self-knowledge.

Instead of fighting them for those divine thrones, it's better to come back and lay out plans early to prepare for the future.

So I fought for this opportunity and came back here."

As he spoke, Long Jing turned around, his smile meaningful: "Unfortunately, one space-time cannot hold two identical Trickster Masters. If I am here, you shouldn't exist here anymore."

"!!!"

At this moment, Su Yi Da understood what his future self meant.

"You really want me to die?

If I die, where will you be!"

"Wrong, the original self and the other self are not distinguished like that. Although I am you from the future, I have nothing to do with your future.

Of course, you don't have to die. I think you understand what I mean."

"..."

Understand, Su Yi Da certainly understood.

Since one space-time cannot have two Trickster Masters, wouldn't it be fine to have one on each side?

His future self meant for him to go to that future where people of the world fought for divine thrones. To be honest, when the other party said the four words "divine thrones vacant," Su Yi Da wished he were the Trickster Master of that future world, having the opportunity to fight for those divine thrones with the people of the world.

The gods have fallen, isn't it just to make room for mortals?

The divine thrones are for those who are capable; why can't I be that capable one?

He, who was already crazy for becoming a god, had long been tempted, but it was just hard to express his covetousness in front of his future self.

And now, his future self gave him an excellent opportunity, an opportunity to be "forced" to go to the future world.

Su Yi Da was tempted!

Long Jing saw it.

And "thoughtfully" advised: "It's nothing more than the difference between dying early and dying late. If I were you, I would choose to die here; after all, there is less pain."

Su Yi Da's expression darkened: "Aren't you afraid that after I snatch the divine throne, I will turn back and settle today's matter with you?"

"???"

Not a brother, how many bottles have you had?

We've only just begun, and you've already snatched the divine throne?

If the fish in the pond were all that easy to catch, where would there be any empty-handed fishermen in this world?

Long Jing laughed: "If there really is such a day, you are most welcome."

Su Yi Da couldn't laugh. He felt that from this moment on, he must endure. For the sake of the divine throne, for the sake of authority, he needed to immediately enter the role and become that Su Yi Da of the future.

So he asked Long Jing solemnly:

"What is the mission?

How should I gain their trust?

Is there any token in your group?"

"..."

Hearing this, Long Jing couldn't help but sigh secretly; the Fate Weaver really calculated everything clearly.

Is this a Fate Weaver? Isn't this a prophet?

Long Jing frowned: "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to go?"

Su Yi Da sneered: "Isn't this what you expected?"

Long Jing nodded and walked toward the direction Su Yi Da came from.

"Wait for me here. I will bring you the corpse of the hunting target and give you my token.

With these, you will have enough to report back.

But I need to remind you, they are all the peak of the peak; be careful, don't die too quickly."

Su Yi Da watched his future self walk out of the void with a changing expression, a trace of fanaticism and distortion flashing in his eyes.

"I will not die; I will eventually become a god!"
