Chapter 1403

Needle and Thread Conjecture

Zhen Xin's early departure was not an exit after the plan was completed, but the key to figuring out Jieshu's true purpose.

As one of the sixteen true gods overlooking the universe, no matter how mortals hide their tracks, it is impossible to bypass her gaze.

Soon, Zhen Xin saw Jieshu shake off the Cheng Shi behind him through dazzling means and appear on the top of a barren mountain.

She chuckled, descended into mid-air in reality, covered her figure with the ultimate power of 【Chaos】, and summoned the Clown who had lost his target to her side for an audience.

When Cheng Shi arrived, Jieshu on the top of the mountain seemed to be doing some preparatory work.

Cheng Shi stared at everything under his feet with burning eyes and said not unexpectedly:

"He really is going to do another experiment!"

That's right, since the Wise Man's theory had just been verified, he would naturally use the verified theory to conduct the next step of exploration.

Zhen Xin was also watching with great interest, asking while watching:

"How does it feel to be calculated by others, Lord Envoy Yu Xi?"

"?"

Cheng Shi didn't take it to heart, shook his head and laughed: "In all the time I've walked this path, when have I not been under the calculations of others? I'm used to it."

Zhen Xin raised her eyebrows, not expecting Cheng Shi to say this. She smiled:

"This time is different; the one calculating you is not a god, but a mortal."

Cheng Shi glanced at her:

"It's not like I haven't been calculated by mortals. Before this, haven't you and Zhen Yi deceived me many times...

Besides, what is the difference between mortals and gods? It's just that one has no throne, and the other is lucky enough to have authority.

In this experiment of the Creator, both humans and gods are pitiful experimental subjects, all lost creatures who cannot see the way forward.

Essentially, there is no difference."

"..."

When the topic is raised to this height, it means the small talk cannot continue.

Zhen Xin looked at Cheng Shi with a strange expression, not like looking at a friend, and even less like looking at a Clown, but like looking at a "senior," a guide standing at the crossroads of the world about to lead the way for the universe.

This feeling was subtle, making her gradually blur Cheng Shi's previous appearance.

The Clown wasn't like this before; he was happy, cunning, lazy, loved to laugh, and his mouth seemed to be smeared with poison when he spoke.

But now, he is steady and decisive, planning with measure. Although he often laughs, the taste in the laughter seems to have changed.

And his tone is increasingly like those gods who are high above in the eyes of the world. Even if he is not a god, "divinity" still flows faintly on him.

Zhen Xin's eyes were slightly complicated. She looked at Cheng Shi and said faintly: "Opening your mouth with confusion, closing your mouth with essence, I always feel that you are getting closer and closer to 【Fate】."

Cheng Shi was stunned, then smiled:

"Predestined, is fate itself."

He has already accepted his predestined identity...

Zhen Xin did not speak, nodding silently.

While the two were talking, the Wise Man on the top of the mountain finally completed all the preparations before the experiment, and opened a space-time channel leading to the unknown on the top of the mountain again, but this channel looked obviously more stable than the one on the rooftop.

Not only that, the surging 【Memory】 divine power overflowing from it made Cheng Shi and the two think of the "Memory of the Past Self" in Long Jing's hands before.

The Wise Man really gained something from the plan just now!

Seeing Jieshu eager to try, ready to step into it at any time, Zhen Xin raised her eyebrows and said:

"Should we stop him?

Jieshu set up this game to get the so-called 'connection method' in our hands; President Gong's ring just happened to make up for this point.

Worthy of being the second on the path to godhood, ranked only below Wei Mu. Even though he had no action in the previous experiment, he could still understand the ins and outs of the experiment and quickly replicate a similar path.

Sometimes I wonder if these Wise Men have human brains in their heads.

Are they really players? Could it be that all Wise Men are clones of 【Dementia】?"

"?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. Zhen Xin's statement made his mind light up, and a vague thought flashed by.

He didn't grasp that thought, but asked curiously: "Why do you have this idea? Did the will of 【Chaos】 inspire you?"

"Not really." Zhen Xin shook her head, "It's just that after observing too much from the perspective of 【Chaos】, I feel that the power of 【Dementia】 to see through everything is quite incredible.

【Dementia】 is fine, after all, He is a god, a true god recognized by 【Origin】.

But people like Wei Mu and Jieshu... compared to ordinary people, aren't they too far beyond the standard?"

"Definitely, he has cheats, of course he is beyond the standard.

If you have cheats and are still not as good as ordinary people, then why use cheats?"

"?"

Is my focus on whether he uses cheats? Am I not asking where the cheats came from?

Zhen Xin blinked and laughed.

The Fate Weaver is indeed still the Fate Weaver; what has changed is his attitude toward the world, not the background color of his heart.

He is always that Clown with a strange brain circuit, it's just that the pressure of reality makes it hard for him to have such a happy face.

"Make a decision quickly." Zhen Xin put away her smile and urged, "Otherwise, if Jieshu leaves this starry sky, I won't be able to help."

After speaking, Zhen Xin stared at Cheng Shi suspiciously and said cautiously, "You wouldn't still want to follow him out, would you?"

"..."

Am I that wild, not staying home every day?

Cheng Shi's mouth twitched, and he smiled helplessly.

He is not prepared to go out, because he will be scolded if he goes out, but he is also not prepared to stop the Wise Man, because he cannot be sure whether the Wise Man is the "thread" that sews up different sliced universes.

Jieshu is too mysterious, so mysterious that everyone only knows he is a stowaway, but doesn't know his roots.

"Everyone knows that Jieshu is a 'stowaway'.

He appeared suddenly and became the second on the path to godhood. Su Yi Da was brought into our world by him.

Don't you find such a development strange?"

Zhen Xin tilted her head: "What's strange? Are there few stowaways?"

"No, he is not a simple stowaway.

Imagine, a Wise Man appeared in the real universe; then where is this Wise Man's 'home'?

He couldn't have appeared out of thin air; there must be a primitive world that 'birthed' him.

But where is this world?

Or rather, has a prototype similar to Jieshu appeared in our world?"

Zhen Xin seemed to understand Cheng Shi's meaning, but she still felt confused:

"Each world is different. Perhaps our world won't have Jieshu; did Jieshu from other worlds come to our world?"

Cheng Shi shook his head: "I once thought so too, but if you recall carefully, you will find that creatures in different sliced universes may have different fates and endings, but the premise is that they all exist, exist in every world!

For example, you, for example, gods, for example, Clowns, for example, predestined people, for example, countless creatures related to predestination, or crowding, or forcing predestination to the present...

Once related to predestination, he can never be a rootless duckweed.

This is not me putting a high hat on myself, but the experience and lessons piled up by blood and tears in countless worlds and countless predestinations. This experiment was launched for predestination, so all existences related to predestination must have their source of existence.

But Jieshu...

At least for now, we haven't found his roots. Even his memories are cut off after his descent.

No one knows where he came from, and no one knows what he is going for.

So I am worried that he might not belong to this starry sky, but belongs to..."

Zhen Xin's eyes condensed, "Real universe?"

"Right!

Is it possible that he originally belonged to the real universe, and his roots are in the real universe?

I can't think of which world would birth such a Wise Man, leaving his own world without any connection to me to find a starry sky without predestination.

But if someone or some wills in the real universe birthed him, and then used him as a needle and thread to connect countless worlds... it seems only this is reasonable.

Although we were calculated in this plan, it is also a fact that the Wise Man helped us complete the fire-spreading.

No matter how mysterious he is, no matter what he wants to do, in short, he has not caused any damage to this world, nor has he committed any unforgivable crimes.

The assassination was just his trap, and luring me into the game was his true purpose.

Since this is the case, I am thinking, is it necessary for us to risk other worlds losing the 'needle and thread' to keep the Wise Man here?"

"..." Zhen Xin had never left the world. All her perceptions of everything in the real universe came from Cheng Shi's description, but with just these, she could directly imagine the wonder of that starry sky. Perhaps anything appearing there would not be strange.

"So you think he is not only a needle and thread, but also a reused needle and thread?

Is this the reason you want to let him go?"

Cheng Shi nodded: "I guess so, unless we can find the 'birth certificate' of the Wise Man from our own world, otherwise..."

"No need for otherwise, the Wise Man has left."

Before the words fell, Jieshu on the top of the mountain stepped into that space-time channel with a solemn expression.
