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 ...
work to earn a living?
What an advanced word! At least for the high and mighty "Them", the only beings who can be considered to be working for Them are the subordinate gods in their respective destinies.
And Avros happened to be a subordinate god.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the spiral in his eyes froze for a moment. He seemed to see through Cheng Shi’s thoughts, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he let him continue to "talk nonsense".
“Think about it.
[Birth] and [Depravity] are mutually opposed, but a messenger who believes in both has emerged!
This is a trivial matter between [life] and [death], why does [time] have to intervene?
He is the enemy of our [Fate], my lord. Will he try to find some inspiration from Avros and then imitate Avros to create some order of [Fate] and [Time] to disgust you?
After all, you are a great being who selflessly protects all your followers. Time must have been targeting this and is trying to do something to you... uh, set a trap for you.
So we can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to take the initiative and control Avros before [time] takes effect. In this way, no matter what move he makes, we will have enough time to counter it!
My Lord, do you think this is right?"
His eyes turned slightly and he nodded.
"wrong."
"......ah?"
No, why shouldn’t I nod to you?
Cheng Shi was numb, his head was buzzing, it seemed like all he had said for so long was in vain?
He glanced at Cheng Shi and said again in a cold and serious tone:
"It was Avroth who blasphemed first, so Time imprisoned Him.
You have a deep understanding of [Destiny], but know nothing about [Time].
He doesn't care about these things. He only cares about whether the future he deduces and the present he marks are accurate and error-free.
As for the rest, He does not care and will not care."
"So, it was Avros who interfered with the accuracy of Time, and was sentenced to eternal imprisonment by Time?
But didn't you say that Avros just wanted to create a paradise of desire where everyone can enjoy themselves? This doesn't seem to conflict with the will of [Time], right?"
“…You have too many questions.
It was not [time] that He blasphemed.”
Not [time]?
Isn't that [Memory]?
There are only two gods in [Existence]. Since He has desecrated [Memory], why did [Time] take action?
Is their relationship so good?
Isn't that better than the relationship between you two?
Also, what does desire have to do with [memory]?
Cheng Shi was even more confused, but this time, the benefactor did not give him an explanation.
So he pondered for a moment and continued his thoughts:
“Well, even if Avros has nothing to do with [Time], this doesn’t prevent him from being related to our [Fate]!
My Lord, please don't be anxious. My intention is not to get close to [Defilement], nor to rescue Avros, but to make the trapped Avros useful to us."
His eyes clearly saw through Cheng Shi's thoughts. He did not give any further explanation, but just said "hmm" lightly, motioning Cheng Shi to continue.
Cheng Shi continued while pondering his words:
"You said that [Filth] is very dangerous and we need to stay away from it, but let's think about it from another perspective. Since we need to stay away from it, can we push our enemies into the [Sea of Desire] of [Filth]?
Uh, I may have said something wrong. The great [Destiny] watches the fate of the universe and has no grudges with other existences. Even [Time] is just a thief who picks up your words.
But what we have to deal with are not necessarily enemies; this is just a general statement.
Let me give you an example. You see, the organization of the Destined Ones is pretty good, isn’t it?”
As soon as these words fell, the stars in his eyes immediately flickered rapidly.
Cheng Shi understood, gained confidence, and said happily:
“If an organization wants to expand, it must first recruit people.
But you are very busy, you can't help me ignore these lucky people who are in line with the will of [fate] every day.
So I was thinking, why not build a place suitable for the destined people to meet. With such a place, it would be more... uh... convenient to spread your will to the outside world or recruit more destined people.
So what I want to say is that we can set up this place in front of the gate of Avros, where I have been before, the space is not big, but it is still safe.
The most important thing is that Avros who is trapped inside the door can serve as a tool for free.
Firstly, the pull of the desire for [depravity] can help us eliminate those with weak wills.
Secondly, the cage of [Time] was requisitioned by [Fate] and became a place to help us spread our faith. Regardless of whether He cares or not, to the outside world, it always looks like our [Fate] is better, right?
And you also said that we don’t need to worry about people who are behind bars, so as long as I keep my original heart, I won’t be contaminated by corruption.
Of course, even if I fail to hold on and take a slightly wrong step, these slight changes should still be within the established scope.
Everything is the choice of [Destiny]. Your devout believer has only made some insignificant refinements to this choice. However, this small refinement may make more people agree with the path of [Destiny]!
You said...right?"
"......"
The void froze.
Cheng Shi finished the conversation with a dry mouth. He hoped that his benefactor would give him some response, but he did not expect that the pair of eyes painted by stars would just glance at him without joy or sadness, and then disappear directly into the void.
