Chapter 1443
Re-visiting Dolgode
Cheng Shi asked the Dragon King to gather all the friends who had and had not inherited the divine seats, while he himself arrived at Dolgode first with exhaustion.
He finally returned to the place that had pulled back the curtain of the gods' secrets for him, and saw again the good brother who had been waiting for his return, Aflos.
The other party was still the same as he had never changed; the black robe inlaid with gold and moon looked like the night, setting off that holy and lustful bright moon face.
He leaned against the door, watching Cheng Shi approaching outside the door, his smile complex:
"My brother, should I thank you for still remembering me after possessing the universe?"
Cheng Shi walked up to him, feeling Aflos's desire no longer arrogant, looking at those bright eyes no longer coveting, felt a bit emotional for a moment, and quickly returned to calm:
"You know everything?"
"It's hard not to know."
"The 【Void】 era really exceeded my expectations; no, it should be said that it completely exceeded my understanding."
"In a short period of time, I not only saw several new gods, but also saw the newly appointed warden... He is very interested in my existence; unfortunately, it's not that kind of interest."
"If it weren't for the fact that they all have authority, I would even think that you had found everything back and were playing them to tease me."
"If it were really like that, I think I would die in a dream of satisfaction."
"But the facts are too cruel; they are them, and their interest in that girl far exceeds me."
"Sure enough, whether human or god, once you step into 【Time】's trap, you will sooner or later become a thing of the past."
"Are you... also here to find her?"
Cheng Shi really wanted to pull a smile, but his face became very stiff; he looked at Aflos without joy or sorrow and told a "kind" lie:
"I'm here to find you."
Aflos was stunned, and then joy climbed onto his eyebrows; the moonlight brightened, the clothes fell, he wanted to rush out of the door, but stopped suddenly, grabbed the faded robe, and leaned back against the door.
He remembered the words of the newly appointed warden; as long as he didn't pollute the foolish play with 【Corruption】, he might be returned to freedom.
Although freedom now had no meaning to him, his mother 【Birth】 had become Miss Sun...
Although Miss Sun had indeed been his mother, letting the moon be under the sun was too strange; this was not the paradise of pleasure he wanted, at least in this point, he didn't feel happy himself.
So his "concession" was not for freedom, but because he saw that the foolish play had a reason to find that girl.
Aflos looked at the expressionless Cheng Shi and sighed quietly:
"This is the reason why I want to build a paradise; the world bears too much and lives in pain; why can't they do whatever they want and enjoy pleasure?"
Cheng Shi was silent for a moment and said: "I want to too, but I have no choice."
Aflos's face changed; he gritted his teeth, seemed to have made some determination, and risked saying: "You can choose, my brother; from now on, put down everything, sorrow will go away, and pleasure will rise."
Put down everything?
Are you saying that after 【Deception】 laid out a whole era, after the Fear Sect was willing to let go of the stage at the cost of self-destruction, let me put down everything?
Or are you saying that after witnessing countless worlds collapse and be erased, after countless Cheng Shis reached out to help me and carried me forward, let me put down everything?
Or is it after all friends trust me and believe that I can find a future for this world under the gaze of 【Origin】, let me put down everything?
No.
I can't put it down.
Although all this is not my pleasure, putting it down will never bring pleasure either.
Cheng Shi looked at Aflos's slightly pitiful eyes and shook his head: "That will not be my pleasure."
He no longer struggled with the other party about these things, but asked, "Where is she?"
Aflos closed his eyes and stopped looking at Cheng Shi.
"In your court of judgment; go find her."
Cheng Shi responded by passing through the door and walking forward; when he passed Aflos, he didn't stop, only leaving a sentence:
"Sorry, I didn't find the murderer who killed Tria."
Aflos opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, didn't look back, and looked blankly at the full moon in the sky of Dolgode, muttering to himself:
"My faith needs lies, so I told you a lie; I embraced my own desire, and then approached 【Corruption】 to express my sincerity."
"Give the world a chance, and give fear a chance; we do not have to be puppets, we can be ourselves..."
"He approached again, no, twice."
"This era can't be said to be uninteresting, but it's too absurd; this sentence is probably the best harvest; hurry up and start the next era."
"No matter who he is, I still hope to meet him in the next era, my brother..."
Dolgode, Court of Honest Judgment.
Even if Cheng Shi now found it difficult to show joy or anger because he had experienced too much, his eyelids still twitched when he saw this huge inscription.
He stepped into it, and what caught his eye was a huge experimental field similar to a sand table; what was simulated on this was clearly the scene of the Continent of Hope.
Cheng Shi instantly understood that Zhen Xin must have been here, and had discussed with Galiusha what 【Deception】 left in the 【Chaos】 temple.
Cheng Shi looked at the sand table, didn't see Galiusha, but heard her voice first.
"Reunited with your good brother?"
"I thought you would stay for a while; after all, the way he misses you is very similar to Pelaya before she entered the Academic Chair Association."
Galiusha walked out from behind the sand table with a smile; she was stunned when she saw Cheng Shi's expressionless face, and then joked, "It seems the moon will be sad tonight."
Cheng Shi glanced at her and didn't pay attention to these messy things, saying calmly:
"Since you've seen them, you should have guessed why I came to find you."
"I know, of course." Galiusha didn't seem surprised at all; she smiled, "Since I escaped from your so-called trial, I knew I had become some kind of backup and alternative."
"Say something you don't know; I've seen Him."
Cheng Shi frowned: "Who?"
"【Deception】."
"After that trial, He summoned me and let me live, live until you need me."
"I think now, it's probably time."
"So, Mr. Prisoner, did your 【Folly】 friends have any accidents?"
"..."
It seemed Galiusha knew a lot; it was no wonder; anyone who had seen countless new gods would find some clues, not to mention a 【Folly】 follower.
But in order to let this fellow traveler from the Continent of Hope be as informed as everyone else, Cheng Shi told the other party in detail about the current situation facing the universe and all the truths of the Creator's experiment, and said at the end:
"You still have the right to refuse, because I cannot guarantee what the road ahead will be like, and becoming a god is far from as wonderful as the world thinks."
"People are not in control of themselves; gods are also not in control of themselves."
