So I felt lost, helpless, and afraid, but today I also saw your loss, helplessness, and fear...

Unlike some gods who refuse to make promises and are unwilling to light the way for others to grope in the dark, since I trust the Fearful Ones, I am willing to make a promise for them.

I can't promise too much, but I can at least guarantee that no matter the cost of resisting the [Primordial Ones], even if it means death, I will never back down.

"For the sake of friendship?"

"Yes, for friendship." Cheng Shi nodded emphatically. "And also for resistance!"

They made me realize that besides Lao Jia, I still have someone I care about in this world.

They have already sacrificed themselves for me once; this time, I will not let that tragedy happen again.

"But what if it's still a tragedy?"

Cheng Shi chuckled softly, looked into the endless void, and said with relief, "If it's still a tragedy, then let's pass on the script of this tragedy and eliminate a wrong option for other worlds in the real universe."

I believe that when all options are eliminated, I will eventually find the answer, and you will eventually get what you want.

This is the transmission of the fire!

It was you, the torchbearer, who taught me these things amidst the false curtain falling.

"......"

The void is boiling!

A mesmerizing array of colors bursts forth from the endless darkness, and countless shadowy eyes with upturned corners appear in the hazy illusion, as if all the deceptions of the real universe have been brought before us.

Among these starry eyes, the brightest pair is the truly existing eye of deception.

Even though those eyes no longer held any sparkling stars, only swirling spirals, at this moment, Cheng Shi felt that those eyes, brimming with brilliance, were the most beautiful he had ever seen since he had worshipped the gods.

[Deception] With a blink of an eye, He finally found the being whose will resonated perfectly with His.

"very good.

The Joker deserves his reward.

No, it should be said that the gods are about to fulfill their promise.

I remember the Joker once said that he didn't want to become a god, but he wanted to deceive the gods...

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was suddenly jolted, his eyes filled with excitement, and he said in disbelief:

"authority!?

But I didn't become the first on the ladder of audience...

Hehe~

It's alright, I never said you had to be at the top of the ladder of audience.

What I meant at the time was when you became my "chosen one"...

God's choice, God's choice, only the choice of the gods can be considered God's choice.

And now, the gods have chosen you.
