When faced with such a difficult decision, Qin Xin stepped forward again.
With a wave of his hand, he "wiped away" everyone's worries and said with utmost seriousness:
“We cannot tie the life and death of the world to one person. This is not what Cheng Shi wants, nor what we want, nor what the world wants. All of this is the work of the Outer Gods!”
If that's the case, why not turn the gun on the external gods?
No god is invincible; they are merely variables in the Creator's experiment. Even if the Outer Gods have stolen the power of "deception" and wield power far exceeding that of the gods, I do not believe that such power is inexhaustible!
Once it is completely worn down, He is nothing more than an 'ordinary' god.
At that time, perhaps we won't need to choose between Cheng Shi and the world; we'll only need to defeat the Outer Gods, and the rest will be 'family matters' under this starry sky, won't they?
Everyone knew this was a method, but the problem was that if there were still gods in the universe who could deplete the outer gods, the situation would not have come to this.
"Which god can stand against Him now?" Longjing racked his brains.
"The 'order' that will never bow to external gods in order to maintain order in the universe, and..."
I!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blazing flame burst into Qin Xin's body, and the resulting heat wave instantly swept through the hall, pushing everyone present backward.
Feeling an oppressive force as terrifying as that of a god, Longjing stared in disbelief and stammered, "This is..."
How can we survive?
Only blood and fire!
Qin Xin stood with his bow at his side, his fiery hair dancing without wind, and stray sparks drifting across his blood-and-fire pupils, reflecting the soaring fighting spirit within them.
"Now, the flames of war have been ignited, and what is needed is the blood of the indomitable, and it is precisely my blood that is written with the spirit of indomitable will."
I'm willing to fight for this, even if it means burning my last drop of blood, to fight for a future for this world!
The scorching heat of war ignited everyone's passion and made their souls boil. Everyone felt Qin Xin's determination and was even infected by his fighting spirit, beginning to feel that the world was not without hope.
But the flame of hope knows that while there might be a tiny chance of defeating the Outer Gods' scheme with sheer passion, what then?
When the external gods retreat and the world is left with only 'domestic affairs,' the predetermined choices between the world and humanity will be replayed.
He knew that Qin Xin couldn't have been unaware of this. This torchbearer simply didn't want to retreat any further. He was numbing himself, deliberately ignoring the most difficult choice, attempting to postpone this decision indefinitely, or even wanting to die before making this choice.
This was not an act of cowardice; daring to declare war on the gods was the greatest courage he, a mere mortal, possessed!
But the curtain will eventually fall.
The flame of hope fell silent. Faced with a shattered future, it had neither the right nor the reason to dampen Qin Xin's decision, nor could it fail to support the will to resist that represented the will of the few.
Thus, the will of the Firelinker was finalized: Qin Xin, as the envoy of the War, would meet with the Order and unite with the Order to fight against the Outer Gods, making a final effort for this world and its predetermined destiny.
Time waits for no one.
The moment the plan was finalized, Qin Xin left the Fire-Connecting Hall to seek the method of paying homage to [Order]. The others dispersed one after another. Long Jing thought that Chen Shu would at least stick with him and go back to the trial given by the outer god to find his brother-in-law. However, Chen Shu silently disappeared before his eyes.
Seeing the fleeting decisiveness on the other person's face, Longjing suddenly guessed where Chen Shu had gone.
...
The void, the leaky realm, before the silent puppet.
"[Silence], are you also an accomplice in the Outer Gods' planned plunder!?"
The Silence of the Leaky Realm did not respond at all, nor did it even lower its gaze to the believers before it. It floated quietly in the void, perfectly embodying silence.
"Why, when you are destined to leave this world, when the experiment has lost its answer, can you live on alone?"
I don't believe the gods couldn't think of such a simple question, so what exactly are you after?!
[Silence] Remaining silent, Chen Shu clenched his fists.
"Grandma is right, good people...aren't here."
...
Void, Fishbone Palace.
The enormous skull sat atop its bone pedestal, watching the smaller skulls ascend the fishbone steps to pay homage, its eye sockets glowing with eerie green flames as it spoke:
"You've come to the wrong place."
“I have come to the right place. I have come to find you, my benefactor,” the little skull said calmly.
The enormous skull fell silent, then sighed after a moment:
“I know why you came, but I cannot interfere in this matter.”
"You knew all along that [Deception] was an Outer God!? But why?" The little skull raised its head, its tone still calm as it questioned, "You protected Cheng Shi so much just to make him believe in the Outer God? This is your world, and it is also our world. Why would you help an Outer God, plunging the world into a hopeless situation with no future?"
Is the complete annihilation of the universe your ultimate wish?
But that was clearly annihilation, not death!
This statement would be considered the greatest blasphemy against death anywhere, let alone in the Fishbone Temple.
An extremely terrifying aura of death instantly erupted from beneath the bone seat, causing the entire fishbone hall to shake and tremble. Countless white bones surged upwards, like a torrent, enveloping and surrounding the entire fishbone hall.
At this moment, the shadow of death completely enveloped the steps, and the small skull could no longer see the throne in front of it.
But she remained calm, because she couldn't see clearly anyway.
Yes, she is not him; she is An Mingyu, a prophet abandoned by fate, a bell-ringer who has converted to death.
