Chapter 738: The Death of the Old Man: There Are Not That Many Answers in This World

The Death of the Old Man: There Are Not That Many Answers in This World

Hooked!

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was waiting for this sentence, but this statement wasn't clear enough.

"Very good, then what do you want to do?"

What to do? Could this be a test?

Deng Sui frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said seriously:

"Although liars are difficult to deal with, there will always be a day when lies are exposed.

I have dealt with the first few people on the ladder of audience with 【Deception】. Except for Zhen...... Yi and Long Jing, who are relatively difficult to deal with, I should be confident in eliminating the others.

As for the low-ranking little liars...... I cannot deprive other followers of the opportunity to gain merit, and they should also contribute to the spread of my Lord's will.

Of course, as the opposing faith of 【Deception】, I think 【Memory】 players should not refuse to join this hunt. I know a few high-scoring 【Memory】 players who have hated 【Deception】 for a long time, and perhaps they can become my help."

Cheng Shi was stunned and blinked.

He didn't expect an unexpected harvest.

"Oh? Not bad, your thinking is very clear, but 【Memory】 is not 【Time】, and even 【Existence】 does not have a single will. You must pay attention to this point."

"!!!"

Deng Sui was shocked. Listening to Lord Hour Hand's attitude, why was 【Time】 even defending against its own path-brother?

*Oh no, did I say something wrong? *

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained:

"My lord, I only believe in 【Time】, but 【Memory】 can occasionally be used by us.

I have no friendship with those 【Memory】 players, only interests. Just like 'This Feeling Can Be Expected,' he and I are both assassins, and we have cooperated to kill a few people. I think by utilizing his psychology of being eager to please his benefactor, I can cooperate with him to at least kill a few annoying 【Deception】 followers.

And there is 'Today Last Year.' She is a mortal enemy of the former 【Deception】 chosen one, Zhen Xin. If I can borrow her hand, even if I can't kill Zhen Xin, at least consuming some of her strength would be good."

"Of course, relying solely on our weak strength might not be able to achieve the efficiency you expect, Lord Hour Hand. So if you could generously give us some guidance or...... actual help, I think I will bring you good news soon."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi was happy.

This little Deng was truly shrewd. Not only did he start asking for support under the guise of a mission, but he was even looking forward to his next audience. *Good, good, good. If you can kill Zhen Yi, I will pry you out from under that lord's bone throne and give you a grand burial in Old Zhang's cemetery. *

*Let a 【Death】 chosen one guard your grave. That's decent enough, right? *

But relying only on these...... was not enough.

So Cheng Shi curled his lips and continued to induce:

"As expected of the darling appointed by my Lord, you, not bad.

Perhaps you are currently confused about the true will of 【Time】, but what I want to tell you is that the relationship between the gods is far more than the cooperation and opposition you see. The desires and filth flowing under that authority are equally shocking.

You don't need to know too much; just know that if you want to be granted eternity, carrying out His will is the right thing to do."

"Eternity?" Deng Sui was shocked, his voice trembling as he asked, "Lord Hour Hand, is it the kind of eternity I imagine?"

"Not bad, it is exactly that kind of eternity. Mortals can also obtain eternity, but divine gifts will never be given to those without merit.

Killing a few 【Deception】 followers won't get you the eternity you want."

"!!!"

Deng Sui understood; he understood again.

He straightened his back with excitement, his attitude as devout as it could be:

"I will walk on the path of 【Time】 and never retreat, until the day I have the opportunity to place 【Nothingness】 under my feet!"

Good ambition!

Cheng Shi smiled, smiling brightly.

"So...... if there is an opportunity, would you be willing to plunge the blade into the heart of 【Nothingness】?"

"?"

Plunge into whose heart?

【Nothingness】?

Do gods have hearts?

Even if they do, who plunges it? Me? Me!? Can I do it?

Clearly not!

A sudden fear rose in Deng Sui's heart, but after the brief fear came an uncontrollable excitement.

The atmosphere had been paved to this point, how could he say no?

This was clearly Lord Hour Hand asking for his stance. Anyway, it was blaspheming a god of an opposing path in his own "courtyard." Could He really reach His hand into the temple of 【Time】 to judge him?

Thus, Deng Sui agreed. He nodded heavily, but still appeared slightly cautious:

"If there is this opportunity and honor, I am willing to break through all falsehoods for my Lord and return the truth to 【Existence】!"

"Good!" Having this sentence was enough!

Cheng Shi nodded in praise, almost clapping.

"Courage is commendable. I am very satisfied with today's audience. Follow me to pay tribute to Him, and then withdraw."

As he spoke, the hour hand slowly turned to face the center of the Universe Clock's dial. Deng Sui felt the summons of Lord Hour Hand, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and silently stepped forward, standing behind Him.

"I said 【Existence】 is equal, so come forward and stand side by side with me."

Deng Sui was stunned, the surprise in his eyes almost overflowing.

He was at an age keen on rebellion and concerned with face. Hearing a "sub-god" inviting him to stand side by side with Him, the feeling was like drinking two taels of fake wine; he was floating and almost didn't know how to walk.

But he was still very respectful, fearing that he would blaspheme the divine ritual, so he moved forward with small steps, tactfully shifting half a body's width to stand behind Cheng Shi.

*The leader said side by side, but how could I really stand side by side? *

This bit of human sophistication—no, this bit of divine sophistication—he still understood.

Seeing little Deng being so respectful, Cheng Shi curled his lips, but this distance was enough, so he nodded and said:

"Lower your eyes, restrain your expression, bow, and pray.

Then repeat after me:

Praise be to the great....."

Deng Sui honestly followed suit, lowering his head and bowing, devoutly: "Praise be to the great....."

"God of 【Deception】, I am willing to repent for the sin of blasphemy under your gaze, and use my life to pay for the crime!"

"【De......???"

Although Cheng Shi spoke very fast, the other party clearly realized something was wrong.

Deng Sui was stunned, and then his face changed drastically. He suddenly looked up, wanting to see what had happened, but found that Lord Hour Hand, who had been in front of him just a moment ago, had disappeared. Replacing Him was an acquaintance with a cold sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Who is he!?

Oh, I remember, he seems to be that Fate-Weaver the Fire-Spreaders want to protect!

*Not good, the audience with God is a false image, the oath is a scam! *

Deng Sui was extremely horrified, an extreme fear rising from his heart and then exploding in his brain. He wanted to run away at the first moment, but found that his physical state no longer supported him in leaving as he pleased.

And the other party didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him. This Fate-Weaver was even moving further and further away from him.

Hmm?

What is he doing?

Is he retreating?

No, he seems to be cleaning up the blood on the ground and tidying up his remains.

But that's not right......

Why is my body in his hands?

And, where did my head go?

Deng Sui couldn't understand. The last image this world left him before he died was a strange smile.

He didn't even understand why there were false images in the temple of 【Time】, and why a follower of 【Fate】 could kill him under His gaze!

Why!?

What about His protection! What about the promised protection!?

I am so devout, why didn't He give me protection!? Why!?

"Tsk, confused?

I also have many confusions, but there are not that many answers in this world."

The Clown wiped the last drop of blood from his scalpel, picked up the head on the ground, and bowed elegantly toward the Universe Clock.

"Thank you for your support. I hope my actions are weeding out the worms in your faith team."

This was undoubtedly a self-deprecating and mocking remark. The Clown was still happy about the smooth progress of things, but when he straightened his waist, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Because he clearly saw that in the center of the huge dial in front of him, a pair of black-hole-like eyes had opened at some point.

"Cheng, Shi."
