Chapter 1453: Day of Faith Farewell, Time of Will Gathering (Part 1)

Day of Faith Farewell, Time of Will Gathering (Part 1)

Cheng Shi felt that he had been "betrayed" again.

His friends had actually "easily" "given up" themselves and chosen "death."

He clearly didn't want it to be like this, but reality pushed him step by step to this point, and the established was also slowly merging completely with him.

He recalled the "final edict" left by the 【Fire of Hope】, examining the future that 【Deception】 painted for the world over and over again......

That was not the future he wanted.

But the future had arrived, and he had no choice.

If this step was not taken, all previous efforts would be in vain.

He might be able to deny himself for the sake of his friends, but he could not deny 【Deception】 for himself, deny 【Death】, deny the Fear Sect, deny the fire-spreaders, deny all the friends who had always stood behind him and supported him silently......

He couldn't do it; whether moving forward or retreating, he couldn't do it.

So Cheng Shi "stopped" here.

He really wished time would stop at this moment, so he wouldn't have to face that future which couldn't be counted as a future at all, nor would he have to bear the price of the world's failure. He still had his friends, and even had hope in his heart.

This was the present, the most "beautiful" present.

However, time would never stop for anyone; it was far fairer than 【Order】.

Cheng Shi was not sure if he had been affected by the Sea of Desire. Today, his emotions were being infinitely magnified. He stood blankly in place, speechless for a long time, not even daring to look up at the friends in front of him, until night fell......

?

Where did night come from in the Land of Sinking?

Cheng Shi looked up in astonishment, only to find that the place where he was located was no longer beside the Sea of Desire, but had turned into a pitch-black void. The hollow darkness wrapped him, causing a trace of uncontrollable fear to spring up in his heart.

Immediately after, the fear began to amplify, not because of anything else, but because he saw a figure walking toward him.

Hu Xuan.

The Sage was still in that familiar dress and elegant posture. She walked slowly to Cheng Shi, looked at that slightly pale face, and a trace of unbearable flashed in her eyes, but it immediately turned into firmness and trust.

She said with a smile:

"They knew you couldn't make up your mind, so they thought of using this way to persuade you.

I know you understand everything, and I also understand that this is not a persuasion, but a farewell, so I volunteered to come first.

After all, I am 【Birth】, their 'boss', and should be the first."

After hearing the word farewell, Cheng Shi became even more helpless. He wanted to retreat, but found that there was no retreat. Hu Xuan tried her best to keep the smile on her face and said:

"Cheng Shi, you have never been a hesitant person; otherwise, when the Star Dagger was under the eyelids of Zainjier, I would not have had a chance to survive.

It was your decisiveness that saved me...... Now, it's time to use your decisiveness to save this world."

Cheng Shi lowered his eyes and did not look at Hu Xuan, as if this present moment was not a farewell.

"Saving the world means I can't save you." He said so.

Hu Xuan was a pragmatist, and she said bluntly:

"Not saving the world means I can't save us either, but saving the world can at least save everyone's hope.

They resisted for a long time, there should always be a result, right?

Although I am different from them, I also have hope. As long as the new world still has new life, then why isn't 【Birth】 accompanying you in this way?

I am no longer a Sage, nor just Hu Xuan; I am 【Birth】, the unceasing 【Birth】."

"......"

The Sage's smile became more divine, yet Cheng Shi couldn't feel it; he only felt sorrowful.

He was silent for a long time, suddenly looked up, looked into Hu Xuan's eyes, and then reached out to her in the other party's astonishment.

His meaning was very clear; this was a kind of retention.

Hu Xuan was stunned, then smiled, shook her head and said: "I am very happy, but I cannot be so selfish. Let this child stay in the new world, if I still have this honor."

As she said this, she reached out and held Cheng Shi's hand.

However, nothing happened.

"Tell me what to do." Hu Xuan's smile was holy and full of charm, "Cheng Shi, don't let them laugh at me. I didn't prepare to go back when I came.

My will is always with you, with 【Birth】, no matter the era, no matter the Universe, I have always believed in you."

"......"

Cheng Shi suddenly felt a change in himself. He actually saw a trace of divine power splashing out in his vision. This divine power was not any of the sixteen faiths. If he had to describe it, it was like a wisp of seven-colored power that had not yet been dyed.

Strange, why did he definitely feel that it was seven-colored power? It clearly had no color.

At this moment, Cheng Shi's mind flashed back to 【Time】's words: as long as you believe, the power of trust will burst out.

Is this the power of trust......

But this trust was carrying him away from the source of trust and closer to 【Origin】.

Cheng Shi fell silent again. This time he was silent for a long, long time. Hu Xuan stood quietly in front of him without disturbing him. She knew he needed time, needed time to accept, needed time to "compromise."

The Sage thought, if time cannot be wasted, then let herself bear the charge of wasting time; it was she who did not urge him, and it had nothing to do with the Cheng Shi in front of her.

Time passed for a long time again. Cheng Shi "woke up" from the silence. He seemed to have made a decision, made up his mind, changed his previous expressionless face, and became the confident clown again.

Hu Xuan was stunned, always feeling that the Fate Weaver who saved her back then had returned.

"It seems you are ready." Hu Xuan smiled with relief.

Cheng Shi also smiled. He showed a long-lost smile, but he was still shaking his head:

"No, not at all.

But what can I do if I'm not?

You are right, behind me are the hopes and yearnings of too many people. I cannot let them down; I must give them an explanation.

Sage, do you still believe in me?"

Hu Xuan did not hesitate: "I said, I have always believed."

Cheng Shi smiled happily, and he asked again: "Then Sage, are you afraid of death?"

"【Death】 is the end of 【Life】. This journey carries not fear, but nature.

I was born in nature and return to nature; what is there to fear?"

Cheng Shi had been smiling. He kept nodding, hiding all his sadness behind him, and took out that "blueprint" again.

The divine throne unfolded in mid-air, and Cheng Shi pointed to the traces left by the 【Birth】 faith in it and said:

"Just like infusing divine power, infuse the will of 【Birth】 into it. Believe me, Sage, we will definitely meet again in the new era."

Hu Xuan's face bloomed with the most beautiful smile: "I look forward to it, always looking forward to it."

After speaking, she closed her eyes and held her hands in front of her chest and said:

"I am 【Birth】, multiplying unceasingly."

The elegant figure disintegrated instantly, turning into dots of starlight flowing toward the blueprint. The brilliant light illuminated the entire void, and the blank traces of faith were filled with substance again.

True substance.

Cheng Shi clenched his fists tightly without saying a word, but that ferocious expression clearly looked like a 【Birth】-shaped branding iron had been branded straight into his heart.

The divine throne was pieced together, and the void returned to silence.

Not long after, Tao Yi arrived. They outside seemed to know the situation in the void. Not long after 【Birth】 left, 【Prosperity】 spread to the front.

She looked at Cheng Shi, whose hands were still trembling slightly, and didn't persuade him of anything, just lowered her red eyes and smiled as hard as she could:

"Can I make a wish?"

Cheng Shi took a deep breath and replied pretending to be relaxed: "What wish? I can't guarantee it can be realized."

"I want everyone in the new world to be prosperous, everything to be prosperous, every matter to be prosperous, no longer having to bear the suffering of decay, no longer having to bear the pain of parting......"

Speaking halfway, she looked up at Cheng Shi and burst into laughter through tears: "Am I too greedy?"

"Greed is a blessing.

If I weren't greedy, I wouldn't have been able to walk to this day."

Cheng Shi comforted Tao Yi, thinking of Big Jiang who was still outside.

"She......"

Speaking of Xiang Honglin, Tao Yi's smile finally warmed up a bit, but her eye sockets were even redder:

"She knew I didn't want to lose her, so she waited outside to send me off first.

It's a pity that A-Tu can't go to the new world. Fortunately, I didn't go either. How can this not be considered a reunion?

Cheng Shi, tell me what I should do. A-Tu taught me to be strong, and now it's time for me to be strong."

"...... Believe me, you will be reunited."

Tao Yi smiled brightly: "Of course I believe in you. From the moment you saved me, I have never doubted you."

"...... Thank you."

Cheng Shi was suddenly a little afraid of this trust, but he still took out the container.

The blueprint reappeared, the starlight converged again, and the light of a fleeting moment turned into the second piece of the divine throne. ===== CHAPTER 1454 =====
