Chapter 998: The last proposition: the so-called established

The last proposition: the so-called established

Fear? A little; despair? Probably some too.

But the despair and fear here are just the feeling of the complex absurdity of this universe's truth. It is the confusion of the small toward the grand, and the shock of the low-dimensional toward the high-dimensional.

When the gods descended, many players realized that mortals were just dust in the universe, puppets in the toy pile. At this time, talking about 【Source】 was just raising the dimension of the controller.

Fireflies are hard to compare to the bright moon, and replacing the bright moon with a giant sun is far less shocking than when first seeing the bright moon.

Humans have limited empathy for macro narratives, but they can often find their own resonance from the details.

Cheng Shi knows this well, and even more knows that the fear in the human heart never comes from what is seen, but is already hidden in the human heart, and external things are just inducements to stimulate this fear.

So in the end, after unveiling the truth of this universe for the Jesters, Cheng Shi brought up the urgency of the present.

He paced back to the side of the 【Fate】 tombstone, touched the texture of the word fate, and asked in an incomparably calm tone:

"I don't know how everyone views the established, the established of 【Fate】."

Although 【Fate】 is also a god, suddenly jumping from the grand 【Source】 experiment to the "narrow" 【Fate】 established, the span is indeed a bit large.

The people who were still stunned frowned one after another, and Long Wang pondered for a moment before saying: "This has to do with the fear in your heart?"

"Saw it?" Cheng Shi turned back and smiled.

Long Wang nodded with a solemn expression: "Hmm, I can feel it."

"How did you see it?"

"It's interesting to say, after listening to what you said, a trace of uncontrollable fear appeared in my heart.

So I said I can feel it, not that I felt your fear, but that I felt my own fear. By pushing others from myself, it is probably the same thing that has made you suppress it for so long."

Cheng Shi smiled. He nodded and sat back on the 【Fate】 tombstone.

"Yes, I am afraid, and the source of the fear is the established of 【Fate】."

"Does the universe's experiment have to do with 【Fate】?" Zhen Xin also frowned.

"It has nothing to do with 【Fate】, but it has to do with the established!"

"?"

Everyone heard the sound and looked sideways, because this sonorous response was not said by Cheng Shi, but... said by Long Jing!

The acrobat finally couldn't hold it anymore. During Cheng Shi's narration of the truth, he kept wanting to interject to prove that he had known these things long ago, but first, Cheng Shi's rhythm was good and the narration was attractive, so he listened to the whole process unconsciously. Second, he couldn't catch the words for the overly detailed things, so he waited and waited and didn't wait for the opportunity.

And now, the moment Cheng Shi said established, Long Jing knew that his time to go on stage had finally come!

The other Cheng Shi had repeatedly mentioned the established when exhorting himself. Now he understands the established too well. This time he finally could have his own highlight moment, especially since this moment was still on the stage of the Jester!

Even Cheng Shi looked at Long Jing with slight surprise, but he had already guessed what the other party was going to say. Just right, let's listen to how the Cheng Shi in the other world explained this inescapable established.

Seeing everyone looking at him with different expressions, Long Jing entered the performance posture of President Gong in an instant and told everything he knew in a rather mysterious tone.

"I just said that I was summoned by the Hour Hand, and by chance, I resolved the misunderstanding between Foolish Play and the Hour Hand.

Because of this point, in that summons, I was granted an opportunity."

Opportunity?

Zhen Xin raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Fusion with 【Time】?"

Long Jing's face became a bit stiff. Originally, this was also a big material, enough to make everyone at the scene feel shocked, but he didn't expect that it would be tested out by the other party as soon as they met. Now that the other party mentioned this matter again, it was no different from sprinkling salt on the wound for him.

"... The fusion of faith is only a part. The most important thing is that I got a guidance from 【Time】.

The content of this guidance is nothing else, it is to let me cross the barrier of time and space and see another..."

Long Jing's tone paused, secretly glanced at Cheng Shi, and then took a deep breath and said:

"... Me, another me!"

"?"

When hearing this, Cheng Shi almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He had already guessed Long Jing's meaning.

It seems that the acrobat is determined to remove the "Cheng Shi element" from this guidance, so as to establish his mysterious and knowledgeable image. Indeed, perhaps only in this way can he wash away the clown image he left in everyone's hearts before.

But would it really be that simple?

Don't forget, the Jesters at the scene are one more refined than the other. Could it be that they can't hear it?

Of course not. In fact, until now, everyone has been cautious when obtaining information. The Jesters know that the words in the liar's mouth are the least credible, but under multiple verifications, they can always find credible points.

So the state of everyone now is you say yours, I listen to mine. As for what will you want to output, I don't care, I only obtain the news I want to know.

Thus, in this atmosphere where sincerity and falsehood were mixed, Long Jing continued his "highlight" moment.

"That world is very miserable, because the 【Time】 they believe in has fallen."

"What!?" For a time, everyone's eyes widened, and Cheng Shi was too, pretending.

"【Time】 has fallen?"

"Not bad. Different from the 【Prosperity】 dead we see before our eyes, their 【Time】 has disappeared.

But it didn't completely disappear either. Under the operation of the God of Fun, all living beings in the world carried the divine power of 【Time】. Players walked with vicissitudes and found ways to contact other sliced universes after countless attempts.

I don't know if their efforts made the Hour Hand of our world respond, but He did let me see that... myself.

Another me told me that they had contacted countless worlds and tried countless ways, but still couldn't find the so-called 'answer', because the only god who knew the 'answer', 【Time】, was gone.

Their world almost lost hope.

And this 'answer', another me guessed, is to become a 'successful sample' in this universe slicing experiment.

He said that the established of 【Fate】 is probably like this. If the sliced universe we are in does not succeed, then as abandoned samples, we will be completely abandoned by the host of this experiment.

But if the sliced universe we are in succeeds..."

Speaking of this, Long Jing suddenly paused. A trace of fear flashed in his heart for no reason. You must know that he had already gone through these "truths" in his mind countless times in the past few days. Clearly, his reaction to these "truths" was getting flatter and flatter, but why was he suddenly afraid again at this moment?

What is more interesting is that everyone didn't know why Long Jing paused. Clever as Zhen Xin, she guessed what the acrobat was about to say for the first time. Her eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity, and she took the words:

"... If it succeeds, then this world will be picked up by 【*Him】 and become the 'lucky one' facing the ultimate.

As for whether this luck is true luck... I guess it is probably not the luck we think."

Long Jing recovered and nodded in recognition:

"Not bad. No one knows where the successful world will lead, and the unknown is fear. Compared to real destruction, perhaps facing that experiment host will be more terrifying, so he said:

This is the established of 【Fate】. No matter good or bad, the world will sink into fear, and the universe will return to 【Source..."

"!!!"

Long Jing stopped his mouth in time. He stopped suddenly, and then cold sweat poured down like rain.

The other few people also felt tight all over after hearing this word. Cheng Shi was even more numb on his scalp, ready to pinch his fingers at any time.

He stared at Long Jing impatiently, wishing he could sew the other party's mouth shut. Feeling the Fate Weaver's gaze, Long Jing shrank his neck and pulled out a stiff, extreme dry smile.

"Didn't... didn't say it out, should... be fine?"

Heh, I hope it's fine, otherwise the Jester will really die before they succeed.

Everyone waited in panic for a while, and only after seeing no reaction around them did they settle down and start thinking about the established mentioned by Long Jing again.

Cheng Shi frowned even more. This was the first time he learned what the other Cheng Shi had said from Long Jing's mouth. As for how many of these were true and how many were false, I think most of them should be true, because these arguments are not much different from what he knows.

The only difference is that the established Cheng Shi thinks of swings between 【Deception】 destroying the world and 【Fate】 offering, while the established the other Cheng Shi understands is the success or failure of the 【Source】 experiment.

Two perspectives, one big and one small, but no matter which established it is, at least the two Cheng Shis jointly determined one thing, that is, the established must be a tragedy.

And this point, as early as when Cheng Dashi "came back," had already been guessed by Cheng Shi, but at this moment, as he knew more about the universe, it was finally verified.

So every Cheng Shi in the world is looking for a way to break the established, looking for hope to let his own world continue, but based on what is known so far, it seems that no one has succeeded.

Thinking of this, the fear in Cheng Shi's heart was inevitably hooked again, adding a trace of gloom to his brow.

Thinking of this, the fear in Cheng Shi's heart was inevitably stirred up once more, adding a trace of gloom between his brows.
