I do not agree!

Qin Xin took Qin Xin and left.

After An Mingyu said goodbye to the Fire of Hope again, she also left with Zhen Xin.

Cheng Shi didn't hand over everything of 【Fate】 to the blind girl here; in his view, the 【Void】 of the past had appeared together, so the 【Void】 of the present should also be the same.

【Deception】 had waited for 【Fate】 for an era; at the end of the era, 【Fate】 should also pause slightly and wait for 【Deception】 to move forward together.

The Long Wang still fell behind; he clearly still had words to say to Cheng Shi, but before saying these, he suddenly laughed with emotion:

"Since I was young and copying the deeds of my ancestors, I have admired and envied my ancestors for living freely every day."

"When the world is idle, watch the cranes in the temple and watch the wind and rain; when the world is chaotic, catch the spear and kill the enemy, sacrificing one's life for righteousness."

"Now that I have copied the scriptures for so long, I have finally found a chance to learn from him."

"?"

Cheng Shi didn't understand and frowned slightly at the Long Wang, but saw Li Jingming raise his hand solemnly, extract a memory from his brain, push this memory to Cheng Shi, and warn him extremely seriously:

"I shouldn't know these things; fortunately, apart from me, no one can see these."

"Qin Xin only thinks that the memory lost by 【Fate】 is hidden in this crystal coffin, not knowing that that memory is just a facade, just to cover up the essence buried deep within, and the essence is also a memory."

"The Fire of Hope recorded everything He wanted to say here; although I still have doubts about how He manipulated memory, I think it was probably through the means left by 【Deception】; after all, He had stolen the authority of 【Memory】, and you said that the false curtain call was directed by Him."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly had a bad premonition.

Why was it involved in the false curtain call again?

Li Jingming didn't stop and continued:

"Cheng Shi, have you ever thought about why the Fire of Hope took Sun Miao away?"

"I know about this; he is playing Wei Mu, spreading the news of 【Origin】." Cheng Shi frowned, "I can think that letting the world know about 【Origin】 might be related to the future of the world, but I haven't grasped the key to it; could it be that there is a reason in this memory?"

"Yes."

"【Deception】 is worthy of being the best chess player in the universe; He seems to have never made a dead move, even the false curtain call!"

"!!!" Cheng Shi's pupils shrank and his heart tightened.

"Even if I have succeeded 【Memory】, I never thought that the past that only you remember was actually placed nakedly in the garbage dump of memory by Him!"

"The false curtain call was never false; it was a change that was remembered."

"What Sun Miao spread was not a rumor, but something that truly happened in that change."

"【Origin】 did come, but those eyes seen by the world were not necessarily 【Origin】, they could also be..."

Li Jingming didn't say the last word; he just stared at Cheng Shi's eyes, tracing the outline of those eyes stroke by stroke.

It couldn't be said to be similar; it was exactly the same.

And after seeing the Long Wang's reaction, Cheng Shi suddenly froze in place.

At this moment, he remembered Wei Mu's posture before he left; when he mentioned the false curtain call, Wei Mu also looked at his eyes like this.

So what was finally in that false curtain call?

Cheng Shi looked at Li Jingming with suspicion, and the Long Wang pointed to the memory in front of Cheng Shi and said:

"You will know, but I cannot know."

"Cheng Shi, promise me, extinguish the memory in front of you and let me forget all this."

"The role of Memory Delusion is to make 【Memory】 forget things He shouldn't know; I will piece together the Dreamless Mirror and the Dream Nightmare, then forget my discovery, and keep the true Final Edict of the Fire of Hope secret forever."

"This is the only way out; even if it requires a price, I am willing to bear this price."

"I think they must be willing too!"

"Although this is not the future I envisioned, at least we have shouted and resisted; that's enough."

"Do it, Cheng Shi; to prevent me from 'cheating', you must personally extinguish this memory that shouldn't belong to me."

"When you finish all this, you will be able to see the 'Final Edict' left for you by the Fire of Hope on the crystal coffin."

Cheng Shi felt the Long Wang's determination, but without knowing what the 'Final Edict' was, he couldn't understand this seriousness and solemnity, so after being silent for a moment, he said:

"It's just a memory; is it worth it?"

"You are 【Memory】, you are already remembering the past for the world; what is it that you cannot know?"

"Need," Li Jingming smiled, "You also said, I remember the past, not the future."

"And the choice at hand concerns the future."

"Admittedly, I also firmly believe that even if I know all this, I will still cooperate, but cooperation is another kind of trust, not absolute belief!"

"To take a step back, when you know everything the Fire of Hope has done, even if I forget these, you can still tell me again."

"Everything depends on you, but it cannot depend on me."

"Fate-Weaver, you always let me believe in you, so can you believe in me once now?"

"..."

Cheng Shi was not stupid at all; the Long Wang's strange attitude and relieved tone made him feel very uneasy; he was not afraid that the other party would forget something after this memory was extinguished, but afraid that this extinguished memory was not just a memory, but a chasm of trust that was about to appear in front of him and the Long Wang.

Sacrifice one's life for righteousness...

Although this word was "heavy," for Cheng Shi now, it was not "good."

The Long Wang wanted to forget so resolutely, which meant that the other party was convinced that he would never tell him these things again after forgetting.

But once some things were hidden, wouldn't trust become a scam?

At the moment when the era was about to end, did he still have to deceive his friends?

Cheng Shi hesitated, but soon he nodded firmly like the Long Wang.

If deception could bring hope, then why not deceive?

I was a liar in the first place, wasn't I?

Cheng Shi made a decision; he extinguished the memory in front of him, and while the Long Wang closed his eyes to piece together 【Memory Delusion】, he took away all the memories related to the Fire of Hope on the crystal coffin.

But when he saw what this so-called "Final Edict" was, his face turned pale, and he froze in place.

How could it be like this...

How could it be like this!!

This was the future 【Deception】 found for the world!?

But if this was the future, then what was the meaning of his journey?

Perhaps for 【Deception】, this indeed had meaning; resistance eventually had to have a result; even if 【Origin】 could not be defeated, at least at some moment He escaped 【Origin】's gaze and completed the departure.

But for himself?

What was this; pulling out all the anchors he had cast on this world, taking back the ropes of his bond with this world, and then traveling alone with this world!?

No, I don't accept it, and I don't agree!

When Cheng Shi's face changed drastically, the Long Wang slowly opened his eyes; he looked at Cheng Shi suspiciously and said uncertainly:

"What are you thinking; aren't we leaving yet?"

"I seem to remember you wanted to tell me something, Cheng Shi, you...?"

Cheng Shi looked at the Long Wang and opened his mouth to tell the truth about the future of the world, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back with difficulty.

After a long time, he lowered his head and shook it, his tone inexplicable:

"Nothing."

"Let's go; it's time to leave."
