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 ...
“Yes, perhaps you and I have misunderstood Them. When all slices of the universe are combined together, that kind of existence is the real Them. This can also explain why it is [Order] that fell in your world, but it is [Decay] that fell in my world!
And... the [Convention] you mentioned.
You really know this stuff. I've always wondered why the gods signed a [Covenant] to restrict themselves...
Hmm? You look like you don't know about this?
No, you're wondering how I know that?
Oh, it's interesting to say that this is the only thing my benefactor told me, and He said that the [Covenant] is the greatest restriction on Him."
Cheng Shi was shocked: "【War】?"
"Yes, it is [War]. So I was thinking that if the [Covenant] only restricted Him, He would definitely not sign such a contract. But if the [Covenant] restricted all gods, then it seems unnecessary for them to forcibly create a shackle to imprison themselves.
But if... I mean if, the restrictions of the [Covenant] are just a side effect, and its real function is to merge the power of the gods together to create sliced gods in countless timelines of the universe...
You said, is this possible!? "
“!!!!!!”
It’s so much, so much!
Cheng Shi even felt that the essence of this [Convention] that had always been unclear was directly guessed by Qin Xin today, right at this moment!
Why do I say that? Because... [Truth]!
[Truth] is undoubtedly the one who understands slicing the most among all the gods, and part of the purpose of the [Covenant] is to get closer to the omnipotent [Source]. Faith fusion is one of the methods driven by [Truth] in this context.
But who can guarantee that a fusion will be correct from beginning to end?
If they are wrong, then won't they have to face the end of the Age of Nothingness?
Yes, true Gods are not afraid of the tide of the times. According to Avros, they can start over again in the next era, but who wants to experience repetition and failure over and over again?
Again, no matter human or god, they all have desires, and most of the gods' desires are to get closer to [Him]. Since someone has promoted this "cause", it is certainly impossible for them to give up right away like themselves, otherwise the [Covenant] would not be established, and the Tower of Reason would not be so crazy.
At least one thing is certain, "Truth" will never give up, it is always using its own understanding to get closer to the most essential truth of the universe, closer to the omniscient and omnipotent "Source"!
Therefore, the stakes placed by [Truth] in the [Covenant] are most likely what Qin Xin said... slices of gods from different worlds!
It’s right, everything seems to be right!
Not only at the moment, looking back at Cheng Dashi's previous operations, is the other party really giving himself hope of change?
He came back from another timeline and plucked the strings of fate here. Perhaps he was soft-hearted and unwilling to see the world eventually go to nothingness, but he might have other purposes!
This greedy "self" is also verifying what he thinks in his heart, wanting to see whether this world line influenced by him will take a different direction from his original world!
So the "future" has indeed been changed, because each "future" is independent!
But the future has not changed, because they are probably looking down at everything from the highest point in the universe. When they see a certain timeline change, perhaps in their eyes, this is just a tiny change in one of the tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, trillions, and hundreds of billions of samples in this "Gods Slice Experiment", which is not worth their real attention at all...
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly felt the despair in Cheng Dashi's heart.
When he discovered the truth about this world, he might really feel desperate.
What is this, that we are just “cells” being observed under a microscope?
No, no, no, no. Perhaps the world today is not even worthy of being put on a microscope, because there are too many samples.
"Oh, no wonder I'm a clown, it turns out I really am a clown."
Cheng Shi laughed. His laughter was crazy and unbridled. He seemed to be laughing at himself, and at the gods. He laughed at the fact that this world did not [exist], and he laughed at the fact that this universe was indeed [empty].
But as he laughed, he stopped laughing.
He raised his head and looked at Qin Xin, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Let's go out."
Qin Xin looked into Cheng Shi's eyes with interest and said with a smile, "You, aren't you afraid anymore?"
"Afraid?
I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid.
From the first day this crappy [Faith Game] came into being, I was scared to death!
I was afraid that no one would remember him after I died. I was afraid that the gods would disturb him through evil means. I was afraid that when I met him in front of that master's palace, he would be sad because of my arrival. I was even more afraid that he would be happy, because he would never want me to meet him in such a place. His happiness could only be a disguise...
I'm afraid of so many things, but...
Is fear useful?
No!
The most important thing he taught me was to not be afraid to move forward. He often said that even a ragpicker could live well, so what should a young person who can read have to be afraid of?
As long as you have a clear conscience, there is nothing wrong with doing it.
I can't do it as well as he said, but I know that I should just live according to what he said. Who cares about the gods, the slices, the [Origin], or the densely intertwined timelines? What do these things have to do with me?
