Chapter 780: Pity, your path is wrong

Pity, your path is wrong

"What do you mean? Simple?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. If this matter were simple, then what would the efforts of the Tower of Reason in the Continent of Hope for thousands of years count as?

What would the day-and-night tireless trials and research of the players count as?

For so long, wasn't it only 0221 who discovered the secret of divinity combination? If this could be called simple, why had others never discovered it?

"Explain in detail!"

At this moment, Cheng Shi's curiosity about this method far outweighed his desire to trade with 0221.

"Actually, this method of his isn't research at all. I also didn't expect that 0221, who walked the furthest on the path of 【Truth】, would actually succumb to 'God-Worship'."

"Heh—the path of God-Worship is also a kind of knowledge. Mortals are just blinded by a leaf, lost in themselves."

"Shut up. One more beep and the deal is void." Cheng Shi pointed at Wang Mou and said unhappily: "You speak!"

"As everyone knows, only gods possess 'faith blueprints' and can combine divinity according to the blueprints. The scholars of the Tower of Reason studied for a thousand years without finding a way, and the reason for this is not that they didn't think of 0221's method, but that they wanted to open a path through mortal hands and use this to approach Them!

But his method... heh, it's just borrowing 'the hands of gods', letting what gods can do pass through his hands once!

Fate Weaver, this manuscript records a prop that must be used to combine divinity. Do you know what it is?"

Cheng Shi looked at the doctor's disdainful attitude, his pupils shrinking slightly, always feeling that the other party was pointing at something. Reassociating this experiment with his own guess, he was stunned for a moment, and said in extreme shock:

"It wouldn't be... Zaiyingji'er's finger!?"

"Correct! It is Zaiyingji'er's finger! 【78

This original body of mine also has a finger of Scholar Ke Wei in his hand!

And this means he had long since established contact with that great scholar of the Creation Alchemy school trapped within the Star Dagger, and this contact was even earlier than the time all players discovered Ke Wei's existence."

The Doctor raised the manuscript and shook it, saying:

"This contains a detailed record of his experimental journey. Starting from a certain day half a month after the 【Faith Game】 descended, he began to try various 【Truth】 experimental schemes. The ideas behind these schemes were very novel and bold, but without exception, they all failed.

But after the second month, the experimental ideas recorded in here suddenly changed drastically, becoming even more radical and unrestrained!"

Cheng Shi frowned slightly and said uncertainly: "Could it be that at this time, your original body had already become 0221?"

"Correct!

This slice codenamed 0221 somehow suddenly discovered his own identity and killed his original body that month. Not only that, he also mastered a lot of knowledge that even the original body had never possessed, and began to advance by leaps and bounds in his research ideas on divinity!

The things you see now were not researched by him recently at all; he has been researching this project for half a year, but he just hadn't implemented it until he launched this experiment a month ago!

And the reason he was able to carry out such long experimental preparations and divinity research was all because he found a finger of the great scholar Ke Wei!

Can you believe it? A few months ago, when 0221 replaced our original body to become the new original body, he already had a finger of Ke Wei in his hand!

And at that time, in my cognition, the vast majority of players didn't even know who Ke Wei was!

So I think it was no accident that he learned his identity; rather, he recognized himself through the mouth of this great scholar!

Perhaps he broke into the Star Dagger because of some trial, luckily received Ke Wei's guidance, and thus gained support and found the opportunity to replace the original body!

And those unrestrained ideas of his did not come from his own wisdom; I see him as just a hand-substitute for this great scholar, merely an operator of countless ancient experimental ideas!

Because his experimental schemes are covered with traces of the use of this finger, and his ability to piece together divinity is entirely thanks to this item, but the key role is actually not the finger itself, but Ke Wei himself!

It is because Ke Wei had long ago secretly refined himself into a false god that his finger had this ability to drive divinity!

You must know that no matter how false a false god is, it is still a 'god'!

Using a 'god's' finger plus a 'god's' will to piece together fragments dismantled from a deity—how could it not succeed!?"

So rather than saying he succeeded, it would be better to say that Ke Wei succeeded, because this 0221 is nothing more than a tool used by Ke Wei to carry out his own will!

Fate Weaver, you are right; this original body of mine, known as the 【Truth】 chosen, is probably just a dog raised by Ke Wei!

He did all this for that great scholar who stole the authority of the gods!

If what you said is correct, then I think this experiment was not prepared by 0221 for himself at all, but for Ke Wei, and the reason this great scholar broke free from the history of the Hope Continent must be inseparable from 0221's help!"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked. Although he had long anticipated that 0221 and Ke Wei were entangled, he hadn't thought that the other party had hooked up with Ke Wei so early.

But what shocked him even more was, if 0221's research breakthrough only borrowed "the power of gods," then what about Wei Youxue?

What is the successful replication of this 【Dementia】 chosen?

Does he also have the power of a god to rely on?

Or is it that this true genius, inspired by 0221, really managed to piece together divinity!?

Damn, no way...

Cheng Shi was stunned, and just at this moment, 0221, standing on high, burst into laughter.

"Hehehe—not bad, your deductions are all correct. If I hadn't run into Lord Ke Wei during a trial, I might never have known that I was just a slice.

But what of being a slice?

The distinction between the self and the other-self is not determined by personal consciousness; the unification of everyone's consciousness is the key, and the consciousness of 【Truth】 is especially critical.

So when I am close enough to Him, those who look up to me naturally believe that I am the original body."

Hearing this, the corner of Cheng Shi's eye twitched. He looked at the Doctor and thought: You are finally a little like 0221; at least in this line of thinking, you two are worthy of being from the same source.

"Heh—Lord Ke Wei is the mentor who guides me closer to 【Truth】!

Standing on the shoulders of giants allows one to see further, and standing on the shoulders of the Doomsday Hanged Man allows me to get closer to 【Truth】!

Borrowing a 'god's' hand, so what? As long as I break through this layer of limitation and reach their height, I can just as well... dismantle the logic within, reconstruct the clues for piecing together, and then through my efforts, step by step...

Become 【Them】!"

0221 laughed maniacally. His bloated half-body trembled incessantly, and his withered half-body twitched continuously. At this very moment, this 【Truth】 chosen was like a true madman, standing in the middle of the building, laughing wantonly and crazily.

And watching this scene, Cheng Shi sneered and spat.

"Too bad, you've taken the wrong path."

"?" 0221 stopped. He glanced down with a gloomy face and likewise sneered, "You don't know shit."

Cheng Shi's smile grew richer. He was not angry, but shrugged indifferently and said:

"I don't understand, but I know that if the will of 【Truth】 were as you say, then the Tower of Reason could not have failed to create a god for thousands of years.

Could it be that so many great scholars throughout history have not been as smart as Ke Wei?

Would they not have thought of borrowing the hand of a god to become a god?

Certainly not; they were too smart, but they didn't use this method. Guess why?

Or let me ask it another way: they clearly already pieced together a false god, yet they never tried this method of piecing together on themselves again. Guess why that is?

I think your master Ke Wei perhaps didn't want to do this either, but his experiment failed, and he was even abandoned by his own mother. It's hard to say whether this old thing's personality became twisted by a frustrated life, which is why he embarked on an evil path.

But think about it: a path that the wisdom of 【Truth】 believers hasn't tried to walk for thousands of years—what kind of good path could it be?

Do you still think you have a bright future?

Heh, becoming a god?

If there were a god of clowns in this world, I think you'd be quite the fit.

You wouldn't have also pieced together 【Deception】, would you?"
