Chapter 1436

No, the future of the universe!

For 【Folly】, winning this bet had no benefits, but losing it could actually find a future for the world.

What 【Folly】 was thinking at the time, no one knew; in any case, He accepted 【Deception】's bet and hid His own authority.

But looking back at 【Folly】's actions from Cheng Shi's current perspective, one could understand the meaning of what Wei Mu called "a move higher."

He used a chess piece named "Wei Mu" to point out the future for the world; although He did not think that so-called escaping 【Origin】's control had any meaning, there was clearly 【Folly】's ambition hidden in it.

If 【Folly】 was the best in the universe, was 【Origin】 above Him?

If so, how could He be the best?

If not, given 【Folly】's temperament, would He be willing to acknowledge the status of this Creator, or would He question 【Origin】 just as Wei Mu questioned Him?

Now it seems, He wanted to challenge 【Origin】; using Wei Mu's mouth to say the future 【Deception】 wanted was His "provocation" of 【Origin】.

However, He also knew that this provocation was not worth mentioning; no matter how one escaped, 【Origin】 could not be defeated, so He always believed that the universe had no answer, only foolish acts.

To this, Cheng Shi sighed: the will of the gods is indeed complex.

But for 【Deception】 at the time, 【Folly】's entry into the game clearly suited His intentions.

Next was 【Memory】; everything that happened in the universe could not escape 【Memory】's collection; to truly deceive the universe, 【Deception】 instigated 【Time】 to pull His sibling god into the game together.

However, 【Memory】 was too pious toward memory and was unwilling to be complicit; in desperation, 【Deception】 proposed a plan where both sides took a step back:

Let everyone forget the memory, but this memory would not be erased, but sealed in the 【Memory】 collection hall, and wait until everything settled before discussing right and wrong, victory and defeat.

Facing the covetous eyes of several coercers, especially seeing that 【Time】 was also in the game, 【Memory】 compromised.

Thus, the collection in the collection hall was born, and He also forgot this memory.

However, in the process of 【Memory】 taking action, would 【Deception】 be honest?

Certainly not!

He tampered with it.

Do you remember the wisp of 【Origin】 power brought by 【Fate】's fall?

That's right, 【Deception】 used that wisp of 【Origin】 power to retain the memories of Him, 【Time】, and 【Silence】; the reason He didn't leave 【Death】's memory was that He wanted the old bones who were not close to 【Void】 to stay out of it and act as a "surprise card" at a critical moment.

And for 【Deception】, 【Death】 was "too honest"; He was afraid that if the other party experienced an era with such a big secret, there would be problems; conversely, 【Silence】 would not, because He only took in and did not give out.

Thus, at the beginning of the era, there was this memory that was painted over in the 【Memory】 collection hall while 【Memory】 was unaware, and there was also that divine covenant mixed with fear, resistance, departure, and provocation.

So the mask fragments were never 【Deception】's creation, but tokens of the six covenant members!

No, perhaps it should be said seven.

The Lying Tongue discerned the truth, representing the long-departed 【Fate】, and also hinted at 【Death】 at the beginning of the era; the Secret-Peering Ear listened to secrets, representing 【Silence】 who kept secrets; the Mocking Eye despised all living things, representing 【Folly】 full of foolish acts; the False-Discriminating Nose saw through falsehoods, representing 【Existence】 who adhered to the truth...

And the Foolish Play Lips naturally represented 【Deception】 who was single-mindedly resisting.

After telling a massive lie at the beginning of the era, on one hand, He secretly searched for 【Folly】's authority, wanting to find one more path of resistance; on the other hand, He began to "promote" the 【Convention】 to the gods, preparing for His "revenge" plan.

This plan was very simple: find a world, grant the living beings a 【Faith Game】, find the offering closest to 【Origin】 through the game's selection, use 【Fate】's method to approach 【Origin】, and then backstab 【Origin】 when 【He】 appeared!

From the very beginning, 【Deception】 never thought of saving the world; He only wanted revenge!

It was only in the process of shaping the offering that He learned the truth of the universe; seeing that revenge was hopeless and 【Origin】 was invincible, He could only pin all His hopes on resistance.

Saving the world was fake; resistance was real.

Even if a wisp of the living beings' will escaped 【Origin】's control, for 【Deception】, it was a victory!

Of course, these were all later stories; in 【Deception】's plan, the 【Faith Game】 was crucial, so when choosing the target world, He found a "faithless" world most like Sandlais, and only such a world could possibly find an "Origin" that had no faith yet believed in everything!

This planet came from 【Time】's simulation in the 【Existence】 era; 【Time】 constructed countless worlds, and this was one of them.

So on that day, the gods descended, and this world ushered in a 【Faith Game】.

All the past became clear, and this chess game, set up since the beginning of the era, fell into Cheng Shi's hands as the chess player left.

When Cheng Shi witnessed every move 【Deception】 made in the collection, he finally knew what kind of "legacy" 【Deception】 had left him.

This was not the past, but the "future"!

This was clearly a script concerning the "future"!

To simulate the current crisis, to find a way to escape the predicament in the experiment, everything he had just witnessed was an indispensable detail in the experiment!

Ordinary 【Memory】 collections would not have these records; 【Deception】 had already prepared everything for His followers.

After walking out of the collection, Cheng Shi left in silence; just as he said, he had to finalize the remaining divine seats as soon as possible.

No one knew the length of the era; although the Benefactor had said that on the scale of mortals, there was still a long time, Cheng Shi was still saving time as much as possible.

Soon he arrived at Mo Li's small courtyard; this scavenger was still lost in the meaning of 【Annihilation】, living like a lump of mud.

Cheng Shi knew that talking about the future of the world to Mo Li at this time was useless, so he learned from his own Benefactor and made an agreement with the other party.

"I have a script here that needs you to perform a play."

"The reward is that in the process of acting, you might find the meaning of 【Annihilation】."

Hearing the meaning of 【Annihilation】, Mo Li was stunned.

"Are you lying to me?"

"Are you still worth me lying to?"

"... Fine, what am I acting?"

Cheng Shi smiled: "

Don't be anxious, let's make three rules first:

First, when you get the actor's props, if you attempt to commit any act that destroys the performance plan, you will be completely far from 【Annihilation】, and even far from the meaning of your existence; don't question whether I can do it; this is not a reminder, it is a warning."

"Second, before the performance, I will show you your script, but it may not be complete; after reading it, you act according to your understanding; although I am the screenwriter, I also allow actors to improvise their talents."

"Third, listen to the screenwriter's arrangements for everything; even temporary death is part of the performance, no need to worry."

"Understand?"

"So what exactly am I acting?"

"Very simple, 【Annihilation】."

Saying this, Cheng Shi waved his hand to vindicate 【Annihilation】.
