Chapter 175: [Truth] Has No Result, [Fate] Was Never Generous
【Truth】 Has No Result, 【Fate】 Was Never Generous
Because the roots of the Conjugate Whisper lost their nourishment, they automatically detached from Cheng Shi's body and retracted back into the void cracks.
And that Great Scholar, who had been full of expectation, looked at the growth curve on the screen before him that had reached its peak, his face full of horror and shock.
He couldn't believe all this; he couldn't believe that the deduction that had continued for hundreds of years in the department had been messed up in his own hands.
He pressed a button with trembling hands, and as the alarm sounded, the surrounding glass curtain walls descended in unison.
The lush branches and leaves, having lost their restrictions, stretched out at the first opportunity, spreading toward the laboratory.
The swaying branches made a "rustling" sound, like a baby who had just learned to walk, "stumbling" to the front of the Great Scholar, hugging him with vines and leaves.
And the Great Scholar, the moment he reached out to touch these leaves, wailed loudly!
It was wrong.
He was wrong, the Void Mass-Energy system was wrong, and the Tower of Reason and Quality was wrong.
No one knew that this experiment had no result.
No one knew that a dream upheld for over five hundred years would not have an ending.
No, perhaps someone knew.
No, it should be said that there were gods who knew.
Perhaps They had known all this long ago, but They never gave a reminder.
Cheng Shi finally understood why 【Truth】 had never protected His believers in history; because He had long known that the research of the Void Mass-Energy system would have no result.
【Nothingness】 and 【Existence】 would not allow 【Civilization】 to seize Their authority.
Of course, 【Truth】 was also cold enough.
Watching His believers busy and working diligently like clowns for over five hundred years, He refused to give a single reminder.
Perhaps, in His eyes, these "fools" who neither knew nor reflected on themselves were not worthy of His gaze, nor were they worthy of His guidance.
But why did He want to show His believers an ending without an ending in this trial, borrowing 【Fate】's script?
Mercy?
Fulfilling a lingering regret?
Cheng Shi could not know.
He looked at the Great Scholar crying loudly, only recalling one sentence in his mind, which was what Ke Wei had just said:
"He is merciful. He wanted to use this method to allow me to personally complete the final step of the experiment."
Heh, He is indeed "merciful."
He used this method to let the Great Scholar personally puncture the dream he had maintained for over five hundred years, letting him realize:
Himself, his predecessors, his teachers, his students, all the scholars who had dedicated their lives to this, were all fools.
How ironic.
His mercy was actually letting the followers who had vanished into history realize the fact that they had completely gone astray on the road to pursuing 【Truth】!
The word cruel was no longer enough to describe His indifference.
This made Cheng Shi think of another sentence:
Truth is an eternal and unchanging law, and it does not carry a trace of emotion.
And this was also the best portrayal of Him that Cheng Shi knew of at the moment.
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, his expression was complex and ugly.
Cheng Shi looked at the "empty" Conjugate Whisper before him, looked at the Great Scholar who was crying blood and almost fainting, and let out a heavy sigh.
"Well, now the flowers are gone, the fruit is gone, the compromise is gone, and I...
Am almost gone too.
Great Scholar, can I ask you one last question?
If I take the leaves of the Conjugate Whisper back, do you think their effect can be the same as the petals?"
Ke Wei lay half-reclined on the ground, holding the branches in his arms, his ears no longer hearing any sound.
His blurred eyes looked up at the dome canopy, seemingly seeing a flower flowing with the five-colored colors of reality blooming at the highest point of the Conjugate Whisper.
When he blinked again, those colorful petals had already withered, and beneath those withered petals, a transparent fruit mixed with mottled black light was condensing.
The Great Scholar smiled with satisfaction.
"Look... look quickly... it bloomed!
It bore fruit!
That is the fruit of 【Nothingness】 borne by the flower of 【Existence】!
We were not wrong!
Look! Look quickly!
Our experiment was not wrong!"
Cheng Shi looked in the direction Ke Wei was pointing, but where in that green, boundless "firmament" was there a flower of 【Existence】, and where had a fruit of 【Nothingness】 ever appeared...
Heh, he's crazy.
He sneered, then looked down at Ke Wei, only to see that this last Great Scholar of the Void Mass-Energy system had stopped breathing at some point.
But his eyes had not closed.
A satisfied smile hung on his face, and that raised arm was pointing straight at the Conjugate Whisper he loved most and had dedicated his life to...
Never lowering.
No one knew that the key to the Wall of True Knowledge was actually the life of the Great Scholar Ke Wei.
The moment he died, countless Funeral Bell Knights rushing outside the high walls cheered and roared, flooding into this "impregnable" void fortress.
Countless scholars stood on the suspended walkways, neither panicking at the enemy's invasion nor fearing the death of their companions; they just stood there, looking straight ahead.
Looking at the laboratory at the very top of the experimental field, looking at the growth curve of the giant tree on the ubiquitous screens reaching its peak and beginning to decline, looking at the Conjugate Whisper that should have bloomed and borne fruit but had no changes...
One by one, like soulless walking corpses, there was no longer any light of hope in their eyes.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
"Why! How could it be wrong!?"
"This is fake! I don't believe it, this is fake!"
"Hallucination! This is 【Chaos】 at work! It's the Funeral Bell Knights playing tricks!
Everyone, don't believe it; this is a hallucination!"
"The experiment is far from over! The experiment cannot have no result!!"
But no matter how the scholars wailed and cried, the ending would not change.
The chaos had already flooded in, and the funeral bell had already rung.
All they could do now was wail loudly.
Wail loudly at the moment the funeral bell rang!
And just at this moment, the teammates who had stepped into the Peering Mirror with Cheng Shi were finally spat out by the void.
They landed on the walkway near the highest laboratory, and as soon as they landed, they saw a dozen scholars with ferocious expressions running wildly toward them.
These people's target was not them, but the laboratory behind them!
"Impossible!
The experiment cannot have no result!
Even if someone wanted to fish in troubled waters, Ke Wei wouldn't be stupid enough to let someone snatch everything from his hands.
He must have hidden the fruit; he didn't have time to leave!
The perimeter has been sealed!
At this very moment, he must be in this laboratory!
For the glory of 【Chaos】, we must obtain it!"
In fact, even these 【Chaos】 moles didn't know if it was their own people who had confused the cognition of everyone in the experimental field.
But they felt it was.
Because this is 【Chaos】, it needs no reason.
Ji Yue stood with her gun, her brows furrowed, looking at these madmen roaring toward them, protecting everyone behind her.
"I saw Cheng Shi; he is inside. You go get him!
Figure out what happened; even if there are no petals, you must get the first-hand experimental data!
I can only buy three minutes.
Don't waste my cavalry lance, go quickly!"
She was like a female general issuing orders; as her long lance waved, countless void cracks split open beside her.
Looking through those cracks, one could see that deep in the void, it was a dead, silent battlefield... with blood flowing like a river.
Countless cavalry lances broke through the cracks and shot forward, row after row piercing into the walkway, turning into obstacles to block the enemy.
Then, two pitch-black giant hands appeared from above the scholars' heads without warning, smashing down toward their heads with a boom! ===== CHAPTER 176 =====
