Chapter 331: The clown in the void

The clown in the void

When Cheng Shi woke up again, he found he was still in the void, but had returned to human form. Not only that, but a pair of extremely cold 【Void】 eyes were open in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, then stood up directly, bowed, and offered three praises.

"Praise the great 【Fate】, may your glory spread, let the universe sing the music woven by destiny and change, let the past and future chant the epic written by good luck and misfortune!

Your most pious believer, your most loyal follower, Cheng Shi, greets you.

And expresses my most sincere thanks for your protection."

This time it was sincere.

After all, he had just been saved by his patron, so it was only right to be a little sweet-mouthed.

But what he didn't expect was that the cold eyes suddenly became playful after hearing this pious praise. He looked at Cheng Shi with slight dissatisfaction and made a clicking sound in his mouth:

"So the praise for others is so pious and attentive, but my protection is not worthy of this most sincere thanks."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi "swished" and made a water clone with cold sweat.

!!!!!

He is not 【Fate】!

How could He not be 【Fate】?

What kind of 【God】 disguises Himself as a brother god of the same path just to play with His believers!

Can this be a proper 【God】? Ah?

Oh, He is 【Fraud】, then it's fine, just admit bad luck.

Cheng Shi choked. He hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his head and changed his words instantly:

"Praise the great 【Fraud】, may you... may you..."

Those eyes just looked at him with a half-smile, seemingly wanting to know what kind of flowers could come out of his believer's mouth.

Cheng Shi thought it was bad. He immediately changed his strategy and said casually:

"May you be happy every day, and may your smile last forever."

Hearing this, the spirals in the eyes turned backward. He glanced at Cheng Shi playfully and sneered:

"It seems I am really not worthy of those praises."

Cheng Shi waved his hands immediately: "No, no, no, Patron, this is the most sincere blessing from the heart. Those formulaic words are just for dealing with things. You must know that the simpler the praise, the more pious it is."

"Oh? So, the praises you recited to 【Fate】 were all insincere, false words?"

"?"

Cheng Shi had become smarter; he did not respond immediately, but instead carefully observed the details of the eyes before him. When he confirmed that this was not 【Fate】 impersonating 【Deception】, he looked around and nodded hesitantly.

What other way is there? He had to deal with it first.

So he said in a very small voice: "More or less."

The eyes in the void immediately changed from cold and emotionless to happy. He tilted his eyes and giggled: "What did you say?"

Cheng Shi gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, and muttered quickly: "More or less."

As soon as the words fell, a pair of identical eyes opened beside 【Fraud】, looking at him without joy or sorrow.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Seeing two pairs of 【Void】 eyes appear in the void at the same time, seeing the spirals in those 【Fraud】 eyes spinning crazily, he knew he had become the clown in the center of the stage again.

He had no strength to explain anything else, so he slumped his shoulders and gave up.

Tired, destroy it.

Let it all be destroyed!

【Prosperity】 shouldn't have committed suicide; She should have dragged the gods to die together, letting them all disappear from this world!

Although 【Fate】 "responded" to the call, He didn't pursue Cheng Shi's disrespect, just said coldly:

"I have returned the power granted to her by the 【Convention】. The matter of 【Prosperity】's fall ends here."

"Ah? What power was given to whom, the bald one? Patron, did you just go to see the bald one?" Cheng Shi couldn't sit still now and hurriedly asked, "So, did the bald one still become 【Prosperity】's messenger? Did she become Fulazhuo'er? Then did she also get a share of 【Prosperity】's authority?"

However, neither of the two pairs of eyes in the void responded to him. They seemed to ignore the human in this void and communicated with themselves.

【Fraud】 looked at 【Fate】 and smiled:

"How about it? 【Truth】 didn't get the authority He wanted, you seem a bit unhappy.

I guess the most rational 'Him' in the universe wouldn't go to the 【Sea of Desire】 to ask for the authority of assimilation from the one inside, right?"

"?" Cheng Shi looked at 【Fate】 suddenly, only to see that the cold eyes were even colder.

"Destiny is in the future, change is in the present, no impact."

"Future? Whose future? Patron, do you know that my future has returned?" Cheng Shi seized the opportunity, but these two didn't pay any attention to him.

Hearing 【Fate】's words, 【Fraud】 was even happier. His eyes blinked, almost laughing out loud.

"Oh? He used this reason to convince you to cover up his tracks?"

He!?

Who is he referring to!?

Cheng Dashi?

Cheng Shi recovered from his initial embarrassment, and his mind became clear immediately.

Obviously, he didn't think his patron 【Fraud】 was just creating fun. He was clearly saying something to himself; otherwise, the secret words of the two 【Void】 gods shouldn't have him present.

Since they didn't throw him out of the void, it meant that he could hear these things, and it was very likely that they were told to him.

So he immediately shut his mouth and listened intently, hoping not to miss any details.

He heard it. Cheng Dashi's return seemed to be related to 【Fate】.

But Cheng Shi couldn't figure out why his future self didn't choose to cooperate with 【Fraud】. To be reasonable, the current him was more inclined to believe in 【Fraud】.

Even if He dressed himself as a clown every day, there was no way, the boss of a liar should be 【Fraud】.

However, these two in the void didn't play too many riddles. 【Fate】's eyes turned slowly, He looked at Cheng Shi, and hit Cheng Shi's most confusing question directly.

"You guessed correctly."

!!!

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he pursed his lips.

"This matter is actually not complicated.

A certain god of 【Void】 made too much movement when provoking 【Memory】, causing a loophole where 【Existence】 and 【Void】 intersected.

A restless shadow listened to the nonsense of that 【Void】 god and slipped back from that loophole, but found me before 【Memory】 corrected all the errors."

As He spoke, 【Fate】 looked at Cheng Shi again, His eyes deep, seemingly seeing through Cheng Shi's past and future in an instant.

"He said he didn't return simply because he was entrusted by a certain god, and even less to see his past self, but to offer me a 'destined script filled with changes'.

He felt that the future being unchanging was too boring, so he wanted to bring the climax of the script forward.

I saw that he had always walked on the destined path without wavering, so I accepted his offering and put him into the trial I bestowed, fulfilling his request.

I think you have already seen him."

Cheng Shi's scalp went numb, but he still shook his head calmly: "I... just guessed he returned, but I haven't seen him."

"To know, is to see."

"..."

My realm isn't as high as yours.

Cheng Shi curled his lips and looked up: "Has he... already gone back?"

This time it wasn't 【Fate】 who answered him, but 【Fraud】.

"Repatriated. 【Void】 likes chaos, but 【Existence】 doesn't. Those two rigid old traditions can't tolerate a flaw in 【Existence】.

However, it's too much fun for someone who loves collecting to have his collection painted over by his own brushstrokes."

Cheng Shi didn't care what 【Fraud】 said; he was just thinking that Cheng Dashi had used this method to achieve his goal.

"So, his goal was achieved?

Using my offering to 【Prosperity】 to attract the gods to hunt 【Prosperity】, and then letting Her self-destruct in the will of 'universal prosperity', this is his offering to you?

Is this the climax of the script he rewrote for you?"

【Fate】 didn't respond. Perhaps He wanted to, but 【Fraud】 spoke first again.

"Hee~

What are you thinking?

So you think your future self is so powerful, ha!

That traitorous guy just wrote a little bit, the rest of the script, the first word was written by you, and the subsequent events were all in the 【Change】 of 【Fate】.

He stayed behind just to create an opportunity. As for whether this opportunity perfectly utilized 【Fate】's 【Change】, you have to ask this patron of yours who makes you deal with fake praises."

"..."

Fun god, I think you want me to die!

【Fate】 glanced coldly at 【Fraud】 and then coldly at Cheng Shi, forgiving his blasphemy again.

"The fall of 【Prosperity】 never appeared in the destined fate. The present is indeed dominated by 【Change】, but the future is still walking on the 【Destined】 path.

I want to advise you, don'

"Did you hear that? It's scolding you."

【Deception】 looked at Cheng Shi with a grin and blinked.

"......"

I don't know who it's scolding, but it's certainly not me.

"Tsk, boring. This audience was too unpleasant. I'm leaving; seeing you two is annoying."

As it spoke, those joyful eyes gradually dissipated. The cold gaze swept over Cheng Shi once more, and shortly after, it also silently vanished.

Only Cheng Shi remained, standing in the void with a deep frown, silently sorting through his thoughts.

It seems the change Cheng Dashi hoped for has appeared.

But since 【Fate】 said the future is entirely predetermined, did he actually change fate, or did he not?

Or perhaps, the purpose of his return wasn't to change fate at all?

Thinking of this, he frowned to himself.

"The future...... predetermined...... tragedy......

【Prosperity】...... 【Existence】...... 【Void】......

What exactly do They want to do?"
