Chapter 698: Real... slices

Real... slices

"Correct, perhaps both you and I misunderstood Them. When all the slices of the universe are combined, that kind of existence is the real Them. And this can also explain why the one that fell in your world is 【Order】, while the one that fell in my world is 【Decay】!

Also... the 【Convention】 you mentioned.

You really know about this thing. I have been thinking about why the gods signed a 【Convention】 to restrict themselves...

Hmm? Your look, you don't know about this?

No, you are curious about how I know?

Heh, it's interesting to say. This matter is the only thing my benefactor told me. He said the 【Convention】 is the biggest restriction on Him."

Cheng Shi was shocked: "【War】?"

"Correct, it is 【War】. So I am thinking if the 【Convention】 only restricts Him, He would definitely not sign such a contract. But if the 【Convention】 restricts all gods, then They seem to have no need to forcibly create a shackle to imprison themselves.

But if... I mean if, the restriction of the 【Convention】 is just a side effect, and its real role is to fuse the power of the gods together to create slice gods in countless time lines of the universe...

You say, is there such a possibility!?"

"!!!!!"

There is, and there really is!

Cheng Shi even felt that the essence of the 【Convention】 that he had never been able to figure out was directly guessed by Qin Xin today, right now!

Why say so, because... 【Truth】!

【Truth】 is undoubtedly the one among the gods who understands slicing best, and part of the purpose of the 【Convention】 is to approach that omnipotent 【Origin】. Faith fusion is one of the methods promoted by 【Truth】 in this background.

But who can guarantee that a fusion will be right from beginning to end?

If it is wrong, then wouldn't They have to face the end of the 【Nothingness】 era?

Yes, true gods are not afraid of the waves of the era. According to what Aflos said, They can start over in the next era. But who wants to experience repetition and failure over and over again?

Still that sentence, both humans and gods have desires. Most of the gods' desires are to approach 【Him】. Since someone promoted this "cause," it is impossible to be like himself, just lying flat from the start. Otherwise, the 【Convention】 would not be established, and the Tower of Reason would not be so crazy.

At least it can be certain that 【Truth】 will definitely not lie flat. He is always approaching the most essential truth of the universe with his own understanding, approaching that omniscient and omnipotent 【Origin】!

So, the stake 【Truth】 cast in the 【Convention】 is very likely the... slice gods of different worlds that Qin Xin mentioned!

It matches, everything seems to match!

Not only the present, looking back at Cheng Dashi's operations before, was he really fighting for a hope of change for himself?

He came back from another time line and moved the strings of fate here. Perhaps there was some soft-heartedness out of unwillingness to see the world eventually move toward 【Nothingness】, but he might not have had other purposes!

This greedy "self," was he also verifying what he thought in his heart, wanting to see if this world line he influenced would appear in a direction different from his original world!

So the "future" was indeed changed, because every "future" is independent!

But the future didn't change, because They are probably overlooking all this from the highest place in the universe. When seeing the changes in a certain time line, perhaps in Their eyes, this is just a tiny change among tens of thousands, billions, trillions, or quadrillions of samples in this "god slicing experiment," which is not worth the real Them looking at it at all...

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly felt the despair in Cheng Dashi's heart.

When he discovered the truth of this world, he must have been really desperate.

What is this? We are just "cells" being observed under a microscope?

No, no, no. Perhaps the current world doesn't even have the qualification to be put on the microscope stage, because there are... too many samples.

"Heh, no wonder I am a Clown, it turns out I really am a Clown."

Cheng Shi laughed. His laughter was crazy and wanton. He seemed to be laughing at himself, and like laughing at the gods. He laughed that this world does not 【Exist】, he laughed that this universe is indeed 【Nothingness】.

But after laughing, he didn't laugh anymore.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Xin, patted the opponent's shoulder heavily, and said seriously: "Let's go out."

Qin Xin looked at Cheng Shi's eyes with great interest and smiled: "You, are you not afraid anymore?"

"Afraid?

I am afraid, of course I am afraid.

From the first day this bullshit 【Faith Game】 descended, I have been scared to death!

I am afraid that I will die and no one will remember him. I am afraid that the gods will use crooked ways to disturb him. I am afraid that when I meet him before the hall of that adult, he will feel sad because of my arrival. I am even more afraid that he will be happy, because he would never want me to meet him in such a place. His joy can only be a disguise...

I am afraid of too many things, but...

Is being afraid useful?

No!

The truth he taught me the most is not to be afraid and move forward. He often said that even a scavenger can live well, what is there to be afraid of for a young man who can read?

As long as you have no regrets in your heart, just do it.

I can't do as well as he said, but I know, I just live as he said. Forget about what gods, forget about what slices, forget about what 【Origin】, forget about what the densely intertwined time lines. Do these things have anything to do with me?

I live in this world, not for anything, just because he also lived here."

Of course, if I can win a top scholar for him, then I will have no regrets.

Cheng Shi added silently in his heart.

To be honest, Cheng Shi had never done such a "profound" self-analysis in front of anyone. This time it was just a coincidence. In the 【Existence】 gap without 【Existence】, in the confused moment of suspected discovery of the truth of the universe, on the land outside the world that did not belong to his original world, in front of a Fire-Tender who was about to choose to forget him, he rarely poured out his heart, venting all his fear, confusion, shock, and frustration in front of the 【Faith Game】 and the gods.

This scene made Qin Xin marvel.

Interesting, really interesting. A walker of 【Nothingness】, yet using 【Nothingness】 to remember memories.

Isn't this also a kind of 【Nothingness】?

It's just that, who exactly is that person who can make this Fate-Weaver remember so much...

Qin Xin was very curious, but he chose not to ask.

Everyone has secrets. He knows the importance of secrets, so he didn't pursue it, but laughed loudly with Cheng Shi's previous laughter.

After Cheng Shi recovered, he felt that he had said too much, but it didn't matter. Once these things were said, they would no longer affect his mood. But Qin Xin...

Why are you laughing so happily?

Watching my joke?

Cheng Shi was "angry." He glanced at the opponent and said with a black face: "Is it funny? Is it as funny as you burying your head in fire-tending?"

"No, it's really not. I am even funnier than you. I am just laughing at myself.

I really have had enough of this bullshit fire!!"

Qin Xin seemed to have found an opportunity. He spat fiercely toward the abyss of 【Existence】, and then slapped Cheng Shi on the shoulder, saying seriously:

"Let's go, there is still fire to tend."

"..."

Cheng Shi blinked, poked his head and looked at the spit that fell into the abyss, and was happy.

It turns out this brother is also quite cute. ===== CHAPTER 699 =====
