Chapter 603: The Consistent [Memory] Path

~7 min read 1,263 words

The Consistent 【Memory】 Path

Li Jingming grasped the opportunity, or rather, he clearly knew what he needed to remember, so he looked at Cheng Shi hotly, and the opening was one of the questions he looked forward to most.

"What happened in that trial, 【Prosperity】... why did it fall?"

Cheng Shi probably guessed that the other party would ask this. He chuckled and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Does this count as two questions?"

"?" Li Jingming pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then count it as two questions."

Generous!

Cheng Shi smiled, smiling brightly. This time he didn't hide it, telling the trial he experienced exactly as it was, only doing some concealment regarding the parts involving the destined person and Big Cat, and pushing the reason for the gods' descent to the unknown.

"【Prosperity】 went crazy wanting to assimilate 【Decay】, and the gods descended to uphold 【Convention】 and justice, so 【Prosperity】 was imprisoned, and then self-destructed. This is the whole process of the whole thing."

"But I didn't witness it with my own eyes; everything was told to me by Him."

"【Fate】!"

"Right, it's my benefactor. I don't know why I was lucky enough to have an audience with Him, but He said this was an accident, an accident dominated by change."

Li Jingming felt incomparable shock. Even though he had long known about 【Prosperity】's fall, when he heard that 【Prosperity】 self-destructed under the siege of the gods, a sense of respect still rose in his heart.

Yes, respect, he seemed to be seriously experiencing His "piety."

Seeing this, Cheng Shi felt a bit that Long Wang's mentality had some problems. He smacked his lips and suddenly asked:

"I say Long Wang, you are a bit too pious to 【Memory】. This taste is almost rushing to my nose. I have also come into contact with quite a few people. Everyone's piety is mixed with a bit of desire, but you are different.

I can feel that you are very pious, as for whether this piety is toward Him..."

Before Cheng Shi finished speaking, Li Jingming smiled: "You want to ask me why I would so consistently practice the 【Memory】 path?"

"Tsk, 'consistent' is really a good word. You have already put the name of 【Deception】 on it, what kind of consistency is that?"

"..." Long Wang ignored Cheng Shi's teasing, his expression somewhat serious and said: "I just want to do something for this world."

"?" Cheng Shi was stunned, thinking he had heard wrong.

Li Jingming repeated it again and added:

"Life is fragile, civilization is short. Since I was born here and grew up at this time, before everything passes away, I naturally want to do something for this place."

"And remembering memories is the best way I can think of."

"You..." Cheng Shi was stupid, never expecting Long Wang to suddenly start adding value, but the problem was, this tone, this posture, this tone, it sounded too real.

No, brother, are you for real?

Li Jingming seemed to have fallen into memories, his tone nostalgic as he continued:

"I was an orphan born, abandoned by the side of the highway. It was the master who picked me up and brought me back to Yunye Temple, raising me to adulthood."

"What temple? Huh? You really are a Daoist?" Cheng Shi blinked.

"Naturally, many of your 【Deception】 people scold me for pretending, but they don't know that only this outfit is my true appearance."

"Yunye Temple is very small, so small that there are only two people, the master and me."

"But Yunye Temple is also very big, so big that the temple records the lives of all ancestors and masters from ancient times to the present."

Speaking of which, it's also magical. No matter how the banners changed and the seas turned into mulberry fields on this land, the Yunye Temple lineage has been passed down alone to this day and has never been broken."

"My daily homework, besides burning fire and cooking, is to flip through the lives of the ancestors, whether wonderful or ordinary. Perhaps it was from that time that I developed the habit of remembering..."

Cheng Shi was still listening to the fun, but as he listened, he found the taste was wrong. Long Wang was... leaving his own past?

He was letting others remember himself while remembering others?

Good idea, but he found the wrong carrier. Cheng Shi curled his lips and waved his hand impolitely to interrupt the other party:

"Alright, alright, who isn't an orphan?

What's there to sigh about.

These don't count as transaction content. I didn't ask you; you said it yourself. Don't try to default."

Li Jingming smiled and nodded: "People's past, present, and future are all worth remembering. Cheng Shi, if you want to leave something for this world, my memories can help you."

"Forget it.

The followers of 【Existence】 are really cunning, trying to make others get close to 【Existence】 in various ways.

We 【Void】 are different; this world has no meaning in the first place."

Speaking of this, Cheng Shi silently added a sentence in his heart: because the person who made this world meaningful is no longer here.

Li Jingming was very keen. He observed the sadness that flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, was slightly startled, and then nodded without continuing to extend this topic.

"It's your turn, Cheng Shi. The memories you provided are exceptionally wonderful, but I must remind you that the exchange of memories is voluntary, and I am not always so generous."

"..."

Cheng Shi understood. Long Wang was pointing at him, and he couldn't use a bunch of small questions to exchange for a big question. Seeing that the bug he had just found was "officially" fixed, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Fine, but I answered two of your questions, so naturally I also have to ask two questions.

Hmm, let me think, let's talk about Them, talk about Lucia and Yug."

"?"

"【Birth-Sound】 Lucia and 【Rotten Vulture End King】 Yug?

These two have nothing in common, and there is no connection. Why ask about the two of them suddenly?"

Why? Naturally, to care about the movements of allies.

Hu Xuan took Zhen Xin to find the so-called Lucia, Big Cat only asked about a Yug in Aflos's mouth. They all had goals. Although Cheng Shi couldn't help, he at least had to know the roots of these two people so that he could respond in time when new changes were received later.

But he naturally couldn't say his thoughts, so he asked back like a Tai Chi push:

"Does this count as a new question?"

"..." Li Jingming was choked. He looked at Cheng Shi with a strange expression, shook his head, and after a while, slowly said:

"Lucia was an orphan born in the Grand Judgment Court. In his childhood, he was brought back by a merchant from the Natural Alliance and grew up in a tribe that believed in 【Birth】. When he became an adult, he went to the Tower of Reason and became an important member of the 【Life Church】 in the Tower of Reason."

Wait, another orphan?

No, this isn't the point. The point is the 【Life Church】. This church, which could be considered a prototype church referenced when players established the Natural Sect, seemed to have appeared quite a few famous people. Before, the great scholar Serius was one of them.

"His childhood experiences cannot be traced. I only know that before he became a 'He,' he was a... midwife in Tusnat."
