So their name is the Fire Keepers!
The moment Longjing learned the name, he understood what kind of organization it was. He just didn't expect Qin Xin to be the leader of this organization.
As Qin Xin entered the hall, the figures of the others gradually came into view.
Longjing's expression froze for a moment. Looking at An Mingyu who was walking over, he said somewhat awkwardly, "What a coincidence, we meet again, An Shenxuan."
An Mingyu quickened his pace, his face showing some anxiety, and asked, "Was Xin Xin also in that trial?"
Seeing that there was no way to hide it, Longjing could only nod. He quickly recounted the trial, and also told the Flame Relayer that Cheng Shi had sought out [Memory], [Rotten], and [Flame of Hope] respectively. Upon hearing this, the Flame of Hope flickered and said:
"Since [Memory] has already chosen to forget the memories of the Outer God, then no matter whether he understands this matter or finds the memories, he will probably find it difficult to make a new choice, otherwise it would be a denial of His self and a double desecration of the memories."
[Corruption]... With a heart full of corruption, He was already infinitely close to the state He desired. But if He knew that there were countless other [corruptions] outside this world waiting for the mercy of [the Origin], would He still have the strength to pity the foolish play?
No, He will only hasten His own decay.
Cheng Shi made the right choice, but unfortunately, these choices yielded no results...
Silence fell over the scene. Two of the three paths to survival had already been taken. Wasn't the only path to survival the flame of hope?
Everyone looked at the flame of hope with hopeful eyes, only to see that the flame of hope also sighed.
Surviving in dire straits is incredibly difficult. He knew what Qin Xin meant: don't worry about so much, save them first, and then we can consider saving the world after everyone is together. But is it really that simple?
Once Cheng Shi is rescued, the world... will probably come to an end.
This was a trap from the start, an unsolvable dead end.
This scheme wasn't orchestrated by the Outer God [Deception], but rather bestowed by [Primordial]. All despair stemmed from that cosmic experiment. The Outer God [Deception] merely maximized the use of the Creator's experimental rules, trapping Cheng Shi in a predetermined cage.
[Destiny] To create a sacrifice that pleases [Primordial], one must align one's will with that of [Primordial], that is, to be devoid of faith yet embrace a wide range of faiths.
Cheng Shi is like that. Even though he is known as the "Deceitful" Envoy, this identity does not affect his "lack of faith" because it is obtained by deceiving the world.
This is also the ingenious aspect of the entire scheme of [fraud]!
He even deceived the Flame of Hope with this will, giving Cheng Shi a "blank check," making Cheng Shi have the name of an envoy but not the substance of one.
On his path of constantly becoming a fool, the clown begins to accept the "integration" of other beliefs and gradually becomes the established order!
In other words, on this predetermined path, the help provided by the Outer God [Deception] far outweighs that of [Fate], and He is the mastermind behind Cheng Shi's transformation into the truly predetermined outcome.
Therefore, Cheng's only way to break the deadlock is to get rid of his established identity, and the most direct and effective way to do this is to corrupt his faith!
Ideally, one should become a true god, completely "unbalanced" in faith; if that doesn't work, one can settle for second best and obtain the identity of an envoy of another faith, but the latter is not secure.
The envoy's body does not need to be recognized by the [Covenant], only need to be recognized by the true God and have authority exercised on his behalf. However, this kind of faith pollution, which can be withdrawn at any time, is like throwing an entire bottle of ink into a clean water pool. As long as the bottle cap is not opened, the clean water in the pool is not affected.
So, as I said before, Cheng Shi had no choice. He knew the former was better, but the latter was clearly easier.
However, one cannot become a messenger like Guki or Ultraman. Guki is ethereal and elusive, like a rootless duckweed. Although Ultraman does exist in history, under the deliberate obfuscation of the Outer God [Deception], this identity could very well be used as a disguise for Guki. Moreover, there is also Kotarou in the Temple of Chaos, which is also the Outer God's ruthless backup plan to take back Ultraman's identity at any time.
Only a true, authoritative, and undisputed messenger could allow Cheng Shi to break free from his predetermined fate through the corruption of faith, thus finding a sliver of escape from the hands of the Outer God and [Fate].
This is also why Cheng Shi asked the doctor to go find "decay".
He wanted to be given the title of messenger, and [Rotten] understood his meaning, but refused him for the sake of His corrupt cause.
Even if Cheng Shi successfully corrupts his faith, this method will cause him to lose all the gaze of the "Void," and he may even become the target of the "Void's" wrath, utterly annihilated from this world...
Before the true end arrives, the flame of hope cannot reveal the established truth to everyone. It needs to leave a wisp of "flame of hope" for this world, and it considers far more than everyone present.
The torchbearer might risk everything for Cheng Shi to protect the good and bless his friends, but if Cheng Shi's faith is corrupted and his established identity is completely lost, how will this world survive?
[Original Source] It is an indisputable fact that we need to find an answer in the Universal Experiment. Without this answer, any world will only become a failed experiment and a discarded product.
What is certain now is that Cheng Shi is the answer, and it is this tiny hope that has become the embodiment of the will to ignite the flame of hope.
He stood behind Cheng Shi so that the "flame of hope" could spread, thus helping the minority to win this world.
But now, saving the world will not taint Cheng Shi's identity as a sacrifice; saving Cheng Shi will lead the world toward an uncertain future!
