Change never stops, the established remains established

When An Mingyu arrived at the Fire Spreader Hall, only Qin Xin was there.

Looking at the heavy armor refracting cold light, the Blind Woman felt extremely complex in her heart.

Only then did she realize what kind of implication was contained in Qin Xin's words "Welcome home" at the end of the last trial. This initiator who held fast to beauty personally sent another version of himself who also held fast to beauty to another world, and then welcomed her arrival with such a greeting.

He was still that him, but he was no longer that him.

"You're here, Mingyu."

Qin Xin smiled and waved at the Blind Woman, but there was a lingering sadness in that smile.

The Blind Woman felt that sadness and only thought it was the other party mourning the Blind Woman who originally belonged to this world.

"You... are actually at ease letting her go far away alone."

Qin Xin was startled, then shook his head with a smile: "There is nothing to be uneasy about, because I know that in that world, there is another me who will take care of her."

The Blind Woman understood what Qin Xin meant, but she couldn't smile.

Because for all the despair she experienced today, this founder of the Fire Spreaders could not be said to have "taken care" of her; instead, it was the Fate Weaver who arrived "in time" to patch up her shattered fate and save her.

Of course, the Blind Woman wasn't complaining about anything; she was just lamenting 【Fate】, especially her own fate.

Seeing that the Blind Woman had come but was not speaking, Qin Xin quickly guessed the other party's thoughts. He sighed and said:

"Perhaps the original intention of spreading the fire did not consider this situation, but Mingyu, you must believe that we have never had any malice."

The Blind Woman also sighed: "I know. Relax, Qin Xin, I am not a fragile person..."

By the second half of this sentence, the Blind Woman's tone was a bit unconfident, but Qin Xin knew that the Blind Woman was a strong player, so he smiled and skipped this heavy topic.

"Any new news? Tell me about it. Or do you want to take a break for a while?"

"I came to..."

"If you want to 'ask for leave,' I can approve a longer vacation, but if you want to resign, sorry Mingyu, I am a black-hearted boss, and I won't agree to it.

You can walk further with the Fire Spreaders; we will never be your burden, just as we will not become a burden to the Fate Weaver."

"..." It would have been better not to mention this; once it was mentioned, the Blind Woman's expression became even stranger.

The fact that the Old Man escaped from under their hands and almost caused Cheng Shi huge trouble was solved by Cheng Shi himself. In this situation, where exactly does the so-called "not becoming a burden" lie?

But the Blind Woman also knew that it was an "accident," an accident from the gods that could not be resisted, and it couldn't be blamed on the Fire Spreaders, so she told Qin Xin that Cheng Shi had already dealt with the Old Man.

Qin Xin was shocked after learning this news. What he was thinking about was not why Cheng Shi had the opportunity and strength to kill the Old Man in the first place, but whether the attitude of the 【Fire of Hope】, as if nothing had happened, meant that He had already seen the ending of this matter long ago?

Born in the void and related to some kind of "future," this identity made Qin Xin inevitably speculate about His relationship with 【Fate】.

Also, how many of Their wills were mixed into this "accident"?

"In this way, the danger is completely eliminated, so it is time to forget that Fate Weaver." As he said this, Qin Xin took out two more tubes of Remembrance.

The Blind Woman looked at the Remembrance on the table, shook her head, placed the tube in her hand on it, and said softly: "I cannot forget him for the time being, sorry."

"..." Qin Xin was startled, then frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Does the Fate Weaver know?"

The Blind Woman nodded with a complex expression.

Qin Xin understood. He didn't ask much more, just decisively picked up a tube of Remembrance:

"Okay, since that's the case, then I will just forget about this matter as well.

But Mingyu, since you chose to retain the memory, then remember to remind me about Chen Shu after I forget all memories related to the Fate Weaver.

I am afraid he will disappear from my mind along with it due to memory entanglement."

"Chen Shu?" The Blind Woman frowned, "Is there still no news of him?"

"No. After the special trial ended, he never appeared again. Not just him; I received confirmed news that many players disappeared after this trial. They seemed to have found something in the trial and were taken away by a mysterious force the moment they were transmitted out of the trial."

"Okay, I will remind you."

Having received the Blind Woman's response, Qin Xin smiled and used those three tubes of Remembrance. He used one extra tube, but the Blind Woman didn't know what other memories he had erased.

Not long after, Qin Xin opened his eyes again. The two Fire Spreaders exchanged a few words, and then he frowned and took a letter out of his armor.

He had forgotten who wrote this letter, but after reading it, he asked the Blind Woman a very strange question:

"Mingyu, if possible, help me ask Zhen Xin what changes have occurred in the 【Memory】 Ladder of Audience recently."

The Blind Woman was very confused by this inexplicable question, but she silently noted it down and didn't ask more.

"Okay."

Meanwhile, the void.

A pair of starry eyes suddenly opened in the boundless pitch-black. Those eyes, filled with star points and spirals, coldly scanned everything around them, and not long after, spoke coldly:

"How much longer do you intend to hide?"

The void had no response. It seemed He had misidentified the target, but those eyes did not leave, instead saying even more coldly:

"The authority you exchanged with me led me to you. I only took this as your invitation to me. Now that I have come, you refuse to show yourself.

What, were you beaten into fear?"

"I would be afraid?"

A sneer sounded before those eyes, and immediately after, an identical pair of eyes opened opposite Him.

【Deception】, this manifestation of 【Nothingness】, could not endure the mockery of His sibling god and immediately jumped up to retort:

"Who is afraid of whom? That's not certain yet, is it?"

Usually, 【Fate】 would definitely give a fiercer counterattack upon hearing this, especially since They had just experienced a civil war today and were at the peak of their rivalry. His counterattack should have been even more intense, but at this moment, upon hearing this mockery, He uncharacteristically did not talk back, but fell silent.

With Him silent, the God of Fun opposite also fell silent. The void suddenly became quiet, and not even a trace of sound existed anymore.

After a long time, a complex look flashed in 【Fate】's eyes. He looked at 【Deception】 and asked an inexplicable question.

"Who am I?"

The laughter at the corner of 【Deception】's eyes stalled, but He quickly sneered: "Pfft—beaten stupid? Who else could you be?"

"Then who are you?"

"Hee~

This is an interesting question. Who should I be?

Or rather, who do you want me to be?"

【Fate】 was silent again for a long while, then said: "I don't know who you are, but I only wish to be myself."

As He said this, He left. He left without anger, seemingly no longer pursuing the matter of losing His authority today.

【Deception】 raised His eyebrows, looking at the direction 【Fate】 left, a treacherous light flashing in His eyes.

"Guessed it? Or were you scared?

But it's not a big problem; change never stops, the established remains established."
