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 ...
“Crash——”
The glass is broken.
Although there was no frosted glass separating humans and gods in the void, at this moment, Cheng Shi clearly felt that the glass, which had been erected long ago and had only today severely distorted the images of each other, had shattered.
For the first time, those starry eyes appeared so "truly" before him, vivid and lifelike, full of "flesh and blood", with every detail visible.
For a moment, Cheng Shi even felt that "He" was no longer a high and mighty "Him", but a pioneer who was walking on the same path but had gone a long way ahead of himself.
It turns out that I am not the only one who is afraid, but He is even more afraid than me!
His speculation was correct. He was indeed not a "closer" person, and the reason he chose not to get close was because of this fear.
The fear called "good for no reason".
But there is still a problem that Cheng Shi cannot figure out, that is, [Source] is not like the gods. [He] has never appeared, and has never manipulated anything in the universe. He is even a "non-existent" existence to the life in the universe, and his influence is minimal. So what is [Fraud] afraid of?
Are you afraid that your authority doesn’t really belong to you?
It is indeed possible, because Death once said that the Covenant was a contract among gods signed to protect all divine powers and prevent them from being lost.
At that time, Cheng Shi didn’t think too much about it, but now when he thinks about it carefully, under all the gods, who can cause the loss of divine power?
Therefore, the original purpose of the [Covenant] may not be aimed at lives below God. Since it is not below God, it can only be... God and above!
This [Covenant], in addition to reconciling the discord among the gods, is probably also intended to guard against [Him]!
But aren't there many "pro-God factions" among the gods? How could they sign a [Convention] to beware of Him?
It seems that the factors for signing this [Convention] are far more complicated than I had expected.
In addition to the fact that the God of Fun fears authority, Cheng Shi has another thought in his mind, which is that He is also afraid of the end of the [Nothingness] era!
But then again, this is an era of [nothingness]. As the ruler of this era, [Fraud] should be far more confident than other gods.
Avros once said that there will definitely be the next era after the [Nothingness] era. If this is true, even the Messenger can withstand the onslaught of the end of the era, and a true God should not be afraid of this.
Therefore, there must be some reason that I don’t understand, and this reason may point directly to the essence of the God of Fun’s fear!
This is not a blind guess, but an inference made by Cheng Shi based on the different views on the path of faith integration by [fraud] and [fate].
Again, [Destiny] advocates the established, and obviously wants to witness the end of the [Nothingness] era. Since [Fraud] disagrees with Him, it means that He does not want to experience the end of the era.
Cheng Shi really wanted to ask directly what exactly would happen at the end of the [Nothingness] era, but he could also see that he was not qualified to know more at his current level.
It was beyond imagination that the God of Fun could explain so much to himself. The fact that He forced himself to ask that blasphemous question also showed His attitude.
Yes, forced.
The person who broke the ice of this deadlock was not Cheng Shi, but Lezishen himself.
When He used silence to force Cheng Shi into a deadlock, He had actually broken the ice, because this pair of extremely smart people and gods knew that when the deadlock came, Cheng Shi would definitely find a way to break the ice, and this also meant that He had already prepared to "explain" something for Cheng Shi.
It's just that Cheng Shi was too frightened at the time and didn't think it through at all. But after getting the explanation and recovering, Cheng Shi, who is a smart man, figured everything out at the first time.
He had long seen through his suspicions and used this silent drama to explain the answer he wanted.
But [fraud] is the appearance of [nothingness], a collection of all lies. Can His explanation really be trusted?
Cheng Shi was not completely sure, but at least in terms of breaking the deadlock, His actions were consistent with His statements.
The liar's intuition told him that the God of Fun was trustworthy, but was this intuition useful to God?
Alas, we can only wait and see.
Cheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
I gained a lot today, and got a lot of shocking news that cannot be described in words, but the most important thing is that I untied the knot that [Memory] had tied with my own hands, allowing me to regain the confidence to approach [Nothingness]... no, approach [Fraud].
At least, before he understands the true will of the other benefactor, he cannot be sure whether "destiny" is... ahem.
But the good news is that today [Fraud] seems sincere enough. It doesn't seem like He is harming himself. At most, He is just using himself.
The word "utilize" here is not derogatory. It is just that a chess player uses the overall situation to push some chess pieces to move. The chess pieces cannot resist and can only endure it. But if one day, the chess pieces also become chess players, then...
Two chess players with the same path may be able to cooperate and make this game of global chess more exciting.
Cheng Shi could see that his benefactor was working towards this direction, because He did not seem to have found a "god" who would play chess with Him on the other fifteen thrones.
And today's audience can be said to have untied my heart knot...I have to thank [Memory].
If it weren't for the enemy who planted a demon in my heart, causing my "plan" of fraud to deviate, perhaps it would take me a long time to understand these things.
Of course, it is also possible to thank Death. Perhaps it is because this adult has bestowed upon him a "complete" divinity that he has the opportunity to "temporarily sit at the table."
Cheng Shi thought a lot for a long time, until he completely got rid of the influence of [Source]. Then he raised his head with a serious face and looked into the pair of joyful eyes in front of him.
At this moment, it seems that no further words are needed. A disheartened clown returns to the stage where he should be enjoying himself with a smile again.
He stared at those eyes in a daze, his lips moved for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said very seriously:
"What should I do?"
The pair of eyes rolled around and sneered:
"A clown is indeed a clown. Your ability to make people laugh is much stronger than your self-confidence."
"......"
After hearing this, the energy that Cheng Shi had just gathered dissipated instantly.
Seeing this, those eyes laughed again:
“You overestimate yourself, you can’t do anything.
Your duty is to be a player, so just be a liar."
Players...duty...?
Cheng Shi was stunned when he heard this, then he raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something.
