Foolish Game of the Gods

I have two principles as a human being:

1. Never lie.

2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.

“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...

Chapter 1162: Strategist Cheng Shi, Part 2

"Uh... hehe... you're coming to work in person?"

Cheng Shi no longer knew what he was saying. He only knew that he had to keep some distance from the boss in front of him.

He retreated two steps, two more, and two more, as if he had just learned to walk... until his back touched the infinitely stretching pure white wall of the museum. He stopped, leaning against the wall to try not to fall, forcing a fake smile and greeting:

"When did you come?"

The boss's eyes rolled back instantly, as if he was reviewing the past memories of the Tibetan Museum. Then he said in a very serious tone:

"If you feel you've said something blasphemous that I shouldn't have heard, and you're hoping I haven't, I can tell you that I have.

Whenever I come here, I can see all the memories here.

Like you said, this is my 'home.'"

“…”

Does the pressure have to be so strong when we chat?

I'm a little nervous about you doing this.

Cheng Shi shrank back, gave a dry laugh, and quickly changed the subject away from the "blasphemy" issue, saying:

"Then you should have heard why I came here. Do you agree to this deal?"

The boss looked at Cheng Shi with a cold gaze and snorted, "

“I don’t know the content of the deal yet, so how can I agree to it?

Besides, you are just a mortal, how can you have the guts to negotiate a deal with me?"

Once the topic of this kind of confrontation came up, it became Cheng Shi's forte. His eyes instantly became firm, and he opened his mouth and said:

"True God, my confidence naturally comes from your persistent approach to that person."

“Bold!”

[Memory] With a frown on his face and a cold look in his eyes, he said:

"Do you know that discussing the Origin without permission is a capital crime?"

Endless pressure surged from all directions, almost nailing Cheng Shi to the corner of the museum, but somehow, Cheng Shi was not so nervous at this moment.

Perhaps he was used to being judged, or perhaps it was because he gained courage from oppression, Cheng Shi, in contrast to his previous embarrassment, curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.

He looked at the boss's terrifying eyes and said happily:

"Let alone the fact that you didn't kill me instantly, I just mentioned 'that person', how did that become a slander against [Origin]?

I am just a mortal, a million miles away from Him. I feel timid just by hearing His name, so how dare I make any irresponsible remarks?

So I wonder if the one who is slandering *Him* in your heart...is actually you, right?

“…”

It was obvious that the ordinary threats from the gods could no longer scare Cheng Shi, who frequently visited the gods. [Memory] glanced at Cheng Shi coldly, without commenting on his question, nor punishing him for his "offense". Instead, he remained silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and said in a cold voice:

"Tell me your deal. You only get one chance."

Cheng Shi's expression brightened, and he immediately told his plan to bring down [Annihilation], and frankly admitted that the fall of a god under the instigation of a mortal must be an extremely wonderful memory, worthy of being remembered and even dedicated to that existence.

Of course, in addition to this, Cheng Shi also admitted that this issue was raised out of selfish motives. The "departure" of [Annihilation] is beneficial to his safety, and once he is safe, he can continue to search for the lost memory for [Memory].

He also promised to reach an agreement with the new [Annihilation], specifically asking the other party to reduce the frequency of annihilation of memories after taking the throne, so as to preserve more memories for this world.

All in all, there is no reason not to support this vote for [Memory].

However, this is all Cheng Shi's lobbying speech based on his own standpoint. As for what [Memory] thinks...

He pondered for a long time, looking dimly at the mortal in front of him who was as bold and rebellious as his benefactor. He did not refuse, but he did not accept either.

"If I disagree and eliminate the crisis of [Annihilation] here, wouldn't I have found an ally of [Sinking] and created another wonderful memory with my own hands?

In this case, how is it different from what I promised you?"

“???”

Cheng Shi's mind raced, and he replied the next second:

"Then you won't be able to find the memories you're interested in in me!

Furthermore, I shamelessly say that I am now a "hot commodity" in the eyes of the two benefactors of [Nothingness]. If you kill me, you will indeed gain a [Fallen] friend, but you will immediately gain two more [Nothingness] enemies!

It’s not worth it.”

"[Fraud] is against me, and [Nothingness] has never been on the same side as [Existence]. Since we've been enemies for a long time, why would it be unprofitable?"

Cheng Shi became anxious.

Oh no, He doesn’t really want to kill me, does He?

He thought of a clever idea and argued again:

"Who says [nothingness] has never walked with [existence]?

The fusion of [Destiny] and [Time] is the proof that [Nothingness] and [Existence] can coexist!

The fact that your believer Li Jingming can embark on the path of [fraud] is also evidence that you can go hand in hand with [fraud]!

Everything that exists has meaning. Since opposing beliefs can be integrated, it means that this is the general trend.

Perhaps this is what the almighty *Him* desires. If you want to get closer to *Him*, *nothingness* will never be a stumbling block, but a ladder to success.

Climbing up the stairs, who knows if there will be a different scenery above?

Even if [nothingness] is meaningless, isn’t meaninglessness itself a kind of meaning?

Just like non-existence is also a kind of existence, perhaps [existence] and [nothingness] should not be distinguished so clearly.
