Chapter 450

【Origin】!

"【Fate】... 【Fate】..."

Afu Luosi tapped the table rhythmically, making clicking sounds with his mouth.

"No wonder you could guide me toward my own fate, my brother; it turns out this is also your fate."

"?" Cheng Shi was truly tired of these riddles about fate; he pondered for a moment and decided to get straight to the point, "The first round of information exchange went very smoothly; let's start the second round directly. The thing I want to know is very simple, just one question, and that is... who exactly is 【Origin】?"

Afu Luosi stalled, then retracted his smile.

He was always serious when talking about 【Origin】.

"Not to mention whether I can answer this question for you, even if I could, I wouldn't be able to.

A subordinate god does not have the right to approach 【Origin】; if you want to understand 【*Him】, perhaps your benefactor can give you the answer.

Interesting.

I tasted fear and unease in your emotions; you keep asking me about eras—are you afraid of the end of the 【Void】 era?"

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank; rarely, he did not avoid Afu Luosi's scrutinizing gaze, but looked straight into those charming eyes and nodded stiffly:

"Yes."

"Fear, it is a good medicine to catalyze 【Depravity】.

I have guessed what you are afraid of; although I cannot answer your question, I can tell you a little of my speculation.

According to the experience of the previous few eras, this era...

will likely end in a 【Void】 of the universe.

That is to say, everything will cease to exist until the next era arrives!"

Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan both had their gazes tighten.

"There is another era?"

"Why not? When I died in the first era, I never thought I could be born again in the second era.

Of course, if you want to be like me and remember the memories of the previous era, you have to work hard; at least, you have to become like this Eternal Day, perhaps then you can, in the overturning of the era...

preserve your own memories."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly had a flash of realization!

He connected all the information he knew about Them and thought of an extremely bold yet somewhat reasonable speculation.

That is, the gods seem to be complying with the 【Flood of Eras】!

Because Afu Luosi speculated that the era of 【Void】 would eventually return to void, and 【Fate】 was certain that his path was fixed, even vaguely revealing a scene of having already foreseen the tragedy of the future... from this, it can be seen that He is inclined to walk through this era to the end.

Not just Him, other gods also did not seem to show excessive opposition to the end of this 【Void】 era; They were just trying various means of faith fusion in this era to their heart's content.

Perhaps They signed the 【Covenant】 and pursued becoming omnipotent gods just to keep up with this "era" that keeps ending and restarting?

Just as Afu Luosi said, since becoming a subordinate god allows one to preserve memories in the ebb and flow of eras, does that mean becoming a higher existence allows one to preserve more things?

So, what can a True God preserve? Authority?

Then what about a higher god, that omnipotent god!

Is this... the true purpose of Theirs?

And that omnipotent god they pursue is very likely the 【Origin】 in Afu Luosi's mouth!

So, did 【*He】 create all of this?

Fate, eras, epochs... could it be that all of this was created by this so-called omnipotent god?

Then what is 【*He】 doing?

If these speculations are all true... then what does the God of Fun, who disagrees with 【Fate】, want to do?

Cheng Shi felt his brain humming; he suddenly received too many explosive scandals about the gods, so much so that for a moment he didn't know how to diverge his thinking or which line to follow to think about these things.

Thus, he fell into a strange state of struggle, wanting to force himself to delve deeper and think out the essence of 【*Him】, yet knowing that thinking about these things at this time was meaningless and it would be better to give up; but the attraction of being about to understand the truth of the universe pulled at him inexplicably, as if an invisible giant hand had pried open his skull and was rearranging his brain.

This indescribable feeling made his consciousness suddenly become erratic; for a time, his pupils dilated, cold sweat poured out, his limbs went numb, and he fell into a state of rigidity.

Hu Xuan, noticing Cheng Shi's abnormality, frowned slightly; she glanced at Afu Luosi, and after confirming it wasn't the work of this 【Depravity】 messenger, she acted decisively to save Cheng Shi.

The way she acted was very simple, but extremely effective.

She stood up, leaned over the table, slowly took Cheng Shi's hand, and then parted her red lips:

"Come."

Just this one word, and Cheng Shi, who was in a state of obsession, woke up with a start, shrinking back with his pupils suddenly contracting.

The force of this retreat was so fierce that he sat down on the chair and fell to the ground on his back.

More sweat flowed, but at least he was awake.

He first looked at Hu Xuan's hand in shock, then blinked rapidly at his own hand, and then wiped the cold sweat from his face with trembling hands, gasping with lingering fear:

"Th... thank you."

Hu Xuan lay on the long table, her posture charming, and a trace of teasing appeared in her eyes as she looked at Cheng Shi.

"Almost, what a pity; almost, it would have been my turn to thank you."

"......"

Sister, please spare me.

Cheng Shi shook his head and gave a bitter smile; he knew this was Hu Xuan adjusting the atmosphere, and without his consent, this friend... probably wouldn't get pregnant with his child.

【Birth】 is too terrifying.

Fortunately, fortunately...

He let out a heavy breath and then looked at Afu Luosi with a serious expression, only to see the other party smiling with narrowed eyes, watching his joke.

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that this wasn't him having a "hysterical fit," but...

"This is the reason you are unwilling to mention 【*Him】 too much to me, right?" Cheng Shi asked with a solemn face.

Afu Luosi laughed out loud:

"I have never misjudged you, my brother; you are very smart.

If I didn't let you experience it personally, perhaps with your temperament, you might really treat the existence of 【*Him】 as a piece of information to be exchanged."

As he spoke, Afu Luosi's expression also became serious.

"Remember, not everything can be mentioned casually.

Unless necessary, do not talk about gods.

Of course, some gods may not seem like gods, but some gods...

I think you already understand."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi indeed understood; he had a brand-new understanding of the word "god."

After all, in that past where he was "watched by gods and blasphemy was like drinking water," he had never felt such a terrifying and eerie power.

He examined his body with a serious face and only suppressed the panic just now after taking a long, deep breath.

"If Hu Xuan hadn't helped me, I would have..."

"I don't know, and I don't want to know," Afu Luosi said with a smile.

"Understood."

Cheng Shi nodded and struggled to stand up from the ground; just halfway up, two puppet servants behind him supported his arms and helped him stand up.

He quickly changed his expression and smiled to thank them, but upon turning his head, the cold sweat that had just dried seeped out from his forehead again.

Because he discovered that these two puppets helping him up were actually acquaintances!

"You..."

Afu Luosi saw Cheng Shi so surprised and smiled, his eyebrows curving.

"How is it, are you happy, my brother? This is a special surprise I prepared for you.

I can see that you are a person who likes to make friends, so I thought you might be happy to see old acquaintances again."

"......"

Looking at these two familiar faces that had only parted not long ago, Cheng Shi gave a hollow laugh in his heart.

Happy my foot!
