Seeing the Real Universe Again

Time passed quietly.

【Fate】 never 【Fates】, but 【Deception】 is always 【Deception】.

From the moment the 【Deception】 of this world saw Shadow Cheng Shi, everything about him was seen through.

After all, He is the true "fate."

Cheng Shi had never been sure when the Fear Sect learned the truth of the universe. Perhaps it was the rash intrusion of those figures in the space-time storm at the beginning of the 【Faith Game】 that aroused their suspicion;

Of course, it could also be now, or at some node during the 【Faith Game】, when people from outside the world like himself came uninvited, smuggled into this world, and were found to have clues by them.

In any case, what he could be sure of was that at least from this moment on, 【Deception】 and 【Time】 had discovered that there were still universes outside the universe.

The current world 【Prosperity】 was about to fall, and Shadow Cheng Shi also ushered in that confrontation between 【Existence】 and 【Void】 in the void.

When he "filled" the 【Void】 under this starry sky with his own 【Fate】, no one would understand how complex his heart was when he shouted that sentence, "【Void】 is the only one."

He dared not look into those eyes that were laughing as usual, fearing to see the bitterness behind the joy; but he dared not avoid them too much, fearing that the other party would see the bitterness of the future in him.

So Cheng Shi could only force a smile and circle with 【Existence】 together with his benefactor.

Those who don't know don't need to be tricked, and those who know don't need to be tricked even more.

【Time】 knew whether there were fallacies in His own deduction, so when He saw Shadow Cheng Shi, He already knew what had happened.

But He did not point it out, only safely sending His believer out of this starry sky before leaving, and at the same time sending away a Trickster Master who had been lingering in the void for a long time.

In fact, 【Time】 had never watched Su Yi Da; it was Shadow Cheng Shi's "bitch" before disappearing that made Him see the 【Fate】 connection between the Trickster Master in the void and Shadow Cheng Shi, so He bestowed this "parting gift" to the clown.

Both were thrown out of the world at the same time. Before Su Yi Da could react, Cheng Shi transformed into today's warrior, knocked out the "naive" Su Yi Da, and carried him toward the depths of the real universe.

The Fire-Bearing Plan was completed, but the plan to find 【Deception】 had just begun.

【Deception】 had specifically exhorted Cheng Shi before leaving, telling him not to leave the world and go to the real universe again.

But would the clown listen?

Not at all!

The rebelliousness of 【Deception】 is like the recklessness of 【Fate】, both of which are inherited in the same line.

And for Cheng Shi, compared to a sliced universe without 【Deception】, the real universe with 【Deception】 should be safer, right?

Even if the real universe is vast and boundless, he might not necessarily bump into his benefactor, but what if?

Fate... who can say for sure?

It really can't be said for sure, because before he had walked very far, he saw that pair of starry eyes that were neither happy nor sad ahead!

He actually appeared directly before the clown like this!

That aura of coldness mixed with a trace of despair was so familiar, allowing Cheng Shi to find "belonging" at a glance.

Shadow Cheng Shi smiled. He knew this must be 【Deception】, because the cruel truth told him that there was no 【Fate】 in this experiment that had walked out of the sliced universe alive!

And only 【Deception】, who had confessed the truth to the clown, would become exactly the same as 【Fate】. That smoothed corner of the eye was not His imitation of 【Fate】, but His essential coldness.

He doesn't like to smile.

The most critical thing is that there are no brilliant star points in these starry eyes before him. Those dim star traces seem to tell of countless sad past events, and that lonely spiral is the best proof of 【Deception】's identity!

Is it Him?

It must be Him!

Cheng Shi looked at those eyes with a brilliant smile.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? One second he was thinking about where He was, and the next second He appeared here.

Is this really fate?

I don't think so.

Shadow Cheng Shi drifted before his benefactor, without any realization of having made a mistake or repenting, but instead let out a heavy sigh of relief.

It's good that it's not a scam.

"My lord benefactor, could it be that you discovered me as soon as I left the world?

The answer you want to find... are there any clues?"

The clown looked at his benefactor, feeling a little excited in his heart.

【Deception】 was a bit indifferent; His eyes looking at Cheng Shi were not friendly.

Cheng Shi blinked and quickly checked himself, finding that except for the fact that his faith was 【Fate】, there were no other faults.

Is following the benefactor's footsteps a mistake?

Am I not worried about you?

But as 【Deception】's silence continued, Cheng Shi's smile gradually faded, his eyelids jumped violently, and he decisively changed his words:

"I didn't intentionally go against your will; I just wanted to help you as much as possible.

The real universe is too big; with only you, how can you quickly find that answer?

You also said that we are racing against 【Origin】, and everyone has little time left. Only by improving efficiency can we have more hope, right?

How about... you tell me the clues, and I'll help you look for them too?"

【Deception】 still didn't speak. Cheng Shi was really out of tricks; he even used the words others had used to persuade him to argue.

"The burden of the world shouldn't just be pressed on you. I am the established, the one the universe is tied to. Working for the world is working for myself. You know how strong my desire to survive is, so you should believe how much motivation I have.

I can really help you, my lord benefactor, I..."

"Go back!"

【Deception】 finally spoke, but as soon as He spoke, it was two cold words.

"Ah?"

Cheng Shi was stunned; it turned out that all he had just said was in vain.

He wanted to argue a few more words, but 【Deception】's eyes didn't change, and He repeated again: "Go back!"

"But I'm already here..."

"There are no buts!"

Perhaps the clown's unauthorized decision angered 【Deception】; His tone was somewhat solemn.

"This is not a joke!

Gods explore the path ahead with their lives, often facing the disaster of falling. Everything paid is for the sake of a future, and the clown is related to the future of the world. Rashly coming here to take risks is truly unwise!

You shouldn't have come here, no matter for what.

Since the script has already been written for you, you... don't disappoint the screenwriter."

As He spoke, 【Deception】 picked up Shadow Cheng Shi without saying a word, just as he had picked up Su Yi Da, and sent these two bold and ignorant mortals into the nearest space-time storm.

Watching the pitch-black light spots slowly condense and erupt before his eyes, a trace of inexplicable sadness flashed in 【Deception】's eyes:

"Another world has failed..."

Cheng Shi knew that a space-time storm represented the destruction of a world. Looking at everything before him, he didn't feel good in his heart either.

He couldn't help but think: What kind of experiment is 【Origin】, this terrible creator, conducting that requires the destruction of one world after another?

Could it be that the myriad living beings have no weight or value in 【His】 eyes?

Such a cold-blooded god, what would He fight for time for...

Originally, it was just a random thought, but when he thought of this, Cheng Shi's whole body tightened, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and then his whole person widened his eyes, his pupils shrank, and he was stunned in place.

His abnormal reaction drew 【Deception】's gaze. 【Deception】 seemed to sense something, glanced at Cheng Shi with a complex look, said nothing more, and threw the two into the space-time storm.

As Cheng Shi's shocked figure disappeared, 【Deception】 returned to coldness.

He looked at the place where the gods' corpses were located from afar, his eyes changed several times, and He left without a word.

I don't know how long after, before another distant space-time barrier, He paused for a moment, the dim star points in His eyes returned to brilliance, and the spiral began to rotate as usual.

He seemed to have made up His mind, His eyes firm, and He returned to the world.
