Reality, a theater in an unknown province or city.

This theater is undoubtedly dilapidated, or perhaps it cannot even be called dilapidated, after all, the roof has long collapsed and three outer walls have been knocked down, leaving only the wall behind the theater stage standing alone, as if defending the final meaning of this stage.

But in fact, this place has long lost its meaning, because the two protagonists on the stage are already dead, more than ten years ago.

Long Jing didn't know why he chose to come back here. He just felt that perhaps only here could he occasionally feel down to earth in this tightrope-walking world, so he followed his intuition and came back.

He woke up from the only seat in the ruins under the stage. As soon as he opened his eyes, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Zero points.

The score of the Path to Godhood is zero.

Although Long Jing had experienced the trial of hanging zero before, he thought he had learned the ultimate secret in this trial, but now it seems that he was too naive.

Does Sandres have other secrets?

This must be the case, otherwise I can't explain why my benefactor, the God of Music, gave me 3 extra points on the ladder to an audience...

He seldom gave himself 3 points. Even if he did, it was because his outstanding performance deceived everyone. But at that time, his score on the road to godhood was often very high.

But in a situation like today where the road to godhood has 0 points but the ladder to audience is fully loaded...to be honest, it doesn't look like recognition at all, but rather like... ridicule.

Longjing felt the critical strike from his benefactor.

But why is this happening?

Even if I failed to resurrect Lord Yuxi with my own hands, even if I lost to Zhen Yi or Cheng Shi by a single move, I still had the credit of an ear, and I also received the "recognition" of Lord Yuxi. Could this be false?

Long Jing reflected for a long time, then gave up reflecting, and finally came to a conclusion with great interest:

This was not a mockery from the Benefactor but rather his praise, praise for himself for being closer to His only messenger and for taking a big step on the new road of [Fraud] that would be recorded in history.

After comforting himself in this way, Longjing took out a pocket watch and looked at the hour hand carefully.

【Hour hand】Sir...

Lord Yuxi said that He was a boring old friend, but Longjing didn't think so. He felt that everything that could bring him power was interesting, so he couldn't wait to meet Lord Hour Hand who represented Time.

I just don't know how to meet Him. Master Yuxi didn't seem to tell me...

Also, will the God of Fun agree to [fraud] and fuse [time]?

I think so. After all, Master Yuxi probably represents Him to some extent?

For a moment, Longjing was both happy and worried, and fell into deep thought with a wonderful expression.

...

Reality: a Taoist temple in an unknown province or city.

The incense and candles in front of the stage have not yet been extinguished, but the people in hemp clothes below the stage are about to wake up.

In fact, Li Jingming had returned a long time ago, but he sat cross-legged on the cushion without moving, only his mouth slightly opening and closing as if he was saying something.

This was the rule he had set for himself since the advent of the [Game of Faith]. He didn't know when he would forget everything, so he thought of a way to tell all the stories he had witnessed to the ancestors one by one.

Let these long-dead spirits also hear what a wonderful world the world has become today.

Only when the smoke from the incense started to curl up did he stand up and pay his respects to all the ancestors. Then he walked step by step to the door, looked at the rain beating down on the moss outside the temple, and slowly frowned.

Zero points.

The score of the Path to Godhood is zero.

Not only the road to becoming a god, but even the ladder to audience was scored at zero.

Why is this happening?

Li Jingming was extremely shocked. This was the first double zero score he had received since the advent of the [Game of Faith].

So what does this mean, that the memory I just shared with the ancestors was wrong?

But what went wrong?

Li Jingming reviewed the previous trial again and analyzed every detail carefully, but the final conclusion he came to was:

That’s right!

Cheng Shi deceived everyone and obtained the Peeping Ear, which brought about the arrival of Fool Play. This not only shows that this conscious [Fraud] creature is collecting its own fragments, but also shows that the Weaver of Destiny has a close relationship with Him.

From the appearance to the inside, from facts to logic, this memory seems to have no problems, so why is it zero?

[Silence] No points were given, which means that the secret that I thought I had seen was wrong, but not too wrong;

As for [Memory], no points were given... This only means that the memories I remembered are meaningless, but they are not truly false.

So what secrets are hidden from me in this trial and have not been discovered?

Did something happen when Zhen Xin and Cheng Shi disappeared, or did Zhang Jizu, who disappeared at the beginning, hide something?

Or, to make a bolder guess, that conscious [fraudulent] creation...had a problem?

Thinking of this, Li Jingming's eyes began to flicker. He was not doubting the authenticity of the foolish play, but when he thought of conscious creations... he happened to have one in his hand.

It's just that this thing is somewhat weird, and he instinctively doesn't want to be too involved with it.

But I think it’s not a problem to use it occasionally to verify something, right?

So Li Jingming pondered for a moment and finally released the mirror in the space.

This is a full-length mirror as tall as a person, with intricate patterns and simple style. The mirror surface is flowing with azure light, and a sleeping smile is engraved on the edge. Only the style of the back is out of tune with the front, and it bulges out countless humanoids struggling with their eyes closed, shouting in fear.
