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 408: I have doubts, so I ask... [Destiny]

Even if you don't want to, you still have to figure it out.

Cheng Shi sat on the ground and carefully sorted out all the information in his mind, trying to find clues in the large amount of intelligence, to figure out the story of Avros and even their intentions.

But he thought about it for a long time and found that it was impossible for him to figure out the affairs between the gods by himself, so he gave up.

Give up self-doubt and switch to...

Ask them for advice.

Since it involves the gods, perhaps only they understand them.

So he picked up the dice in his hand again and began to pray devoutly.

"Lies like yesterday, snort..."

Before he could finish his sneer, there was a "whoosh" sound, and Cheng Shi disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When he opened his eyes again, he found a pair of cold starry eyes hanging high in the void, staring at him motionlessly.

Look at this...

It’s bad, I’m afraid it’s [fate]!

Cheng Shi's back was instantly wet with cold sweat. He didn't bother to adjust his expression and just lowered his head to give sincere praise.

But this time he learned his lesson, and his words were no longer flowery, but became plain, even plain to the point of being perfunctory, so that when he looked up again he would not find that the person in front of him was still the trouble-making [Fraud].

“Praise you, great [Destiny].

May fate always be [fate]. "

This praise is fresh, and it is fresh to deal with, but I can't help but feel that [fate] is also fresh.

This brief and to-the-point praise obviously made Him happier than a string of flattering responses.

Then, the cold corners of his eyes began to melt slightly, and the entire void was filled with a hint of psychedelic colors.

Cheng Shi caught a glimpse of this change from the corner of his eye, and was certain in his heart that what lay before him was his [destiny].

So he raised his head impatiently, and without caring about what his benefactor's oracle required, he asked a big question as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My Lord, I seem to be related to Avros, the messenger of [Defilement]. This is [Defilement]...

Is this an invitation to faith for me?

Cheng Shi's words were very straightforward, so straightforward that he dared to talk about another Him who did not belong to [nothingness] in front of one Him.

But Cheng Shi is confident. That confidence is not because he claims to have understood his benefactor's temper, but because [fate] once said, "If you have any questions, just ask!"

It was He who made the promise after Cheng Shi returned to [Destiny] that he could answer questions about the universe for Cheng Shi.

It was just that because this trial was originally a prayer for [Fraud], Cheng Shi didn't want to trouble [Fate], but since he had already seen it...

Now that you are here, it would be a shame not to ask!

The eyes in the void flickered slightly, and after hearing the question, he said without joy or sadness:

"You think too much."

"......"

My Lord, your words are quite hurtful.

Cheng Shi's face froze, he laughed dryly and said:

"That's good, that's good, I have no intention of leaving the [Void].

Even if He really invited me, I would not accept it.

My path is already determined!"

Regardless of whether what Cheng Shi said was true or what he really meant, it sounded very pleasing to the ears of Destiny.

The corners of his eyes softened again, and he looked at Cheng Shi. The spiral in his eyes swirled for a moment, as if he had seen the trajectory of Cheng Shi's fate in the present and the past, and then he spoke again:

“The established rules have not changed, but you must remember:

Stay away from filth and depravity.

He is not a being that mortals can approach.

Also, He never issues any invitation; every life that sinks into the Sea of ​​Desire does so voluntarily.

They could not control their inner desires and approached Him spontaneously, using His calling and guidance as an excuse.

He never extends an invitation?

Even His calling and guidance were excuses! ?

Cheng Shi was confused, because he had always felt that the desires of the followers of [Foul] were amplified by their benefactor...

But why would his benefactor describe [Foul] as a... "victim"?

He was a little confused, but [Destiny] obviously hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Avros is a tragedy, but he does not deserve pity, he created all this with his own hands.

As for why [Fraud] sent you into the trial of [Birth], perhaps they signed some agreement unknown to outsiders.

He always likes to sign these things with other people, but they rarely work.”

"......"

No, my Lord, why do I feel that the tone of your words sounds like stupidity?

Cheng Shi did not dare to answer, but quietly took out the [Gate of Desire] token in his hand, the broken laces, and then showed them to the god and asked:

"My Lord, this thing..."

"It is just a means of self-rescue for those in prison. This token allows you to go to His door at any time, but just like His benefactor who never actively invites others, He cannot force you to push the door, unless...

You push yourself away, driven by your own desires.

No need to pay attention to Him.

You did well not to let desire pull you away from opening His door.

[Gate of Desire] is not the divine name given to Him by [Fallen], but a title bestowed upon Him by [Time].

After mortals push open that door, their desires are no longer under control and become one with the [Sea of ​​Desire], becoming a depression into which the ocean of desire flows back. From then on, they have nothing to pursue except to indulge themselves in self-pleasure.

Avros once wanted to create a paradise of desire where everyone could enjoy themselves, but his idea was not recognized by [Existence], so [Time] gave him the punishment of eternal imprisonment. "
