......
Where is existence at this very moment?
At the edge of the universe, beyond the world, in the gaps of existence where this starry sky meets countless other starry skies, time manipulates that invisible yet shadow-casting pointer, meticulously aligning the world's time with that of the real universe.
[Memory] is also here, this is the first time He left the world and saw the real universe with His own eyes.
He looked back at the world, at the void where gods and outer gods were locked in a chaotic battle, and for a moment he was at a loss as to whether to remember the vastness of the real universe or to record a spectacular final performance for the world.
Those eyes, weathered by countless stars and their histories, seemed to grow more than twice as heavy in that instant. He shook his head, looked at the still-busy celestial being beside him, and calmly asked:
"The era of 'nothingness' is about to end. The gods' prediction was correct. The universe will eventually return to 'nothingness'."
You always say that after "nihilism," there will be no new era. Since the world has already reached a dead end, what's the point of everything you're doing now?
[Time] Remains silent, simply aligning itself.
[Memory] Turning his gaze to the real universe, feeling the vast, complex, chaotic, and fragmented memories floating within it, he sighed:
"These fragments of memory remind me of the death of [Truth], the charge of [War], the world reset, and the scene of [Time] saving the world."
You once possessed the power He has now.
What is hidden in that power? Is it the answer? Otherwise, I can't understand why you would allow an Outer God who doesn't belong to this world to destroy everything you've been protecting.
Even now, are you still going to hide it from me?
"......"
[Time] Busy aligning, still no words spoken.
[Memory] A self-deprecating laugh:
"[Time] There is no time, [Memory] There is no memory; "
[Fraud] Never defrauded, [Fate] Lost fate...
What a nihilistic age! What a foolish play by the gods!
It turns out that "foolishness" is the right thing to do; the whole world is nothing but a foolish act.
But now that the world is nearing its end, will [Time]... still save it?
[Time] finally spoke, nodding and saying with a firm gaze:
"I have always been saving the world."
"But aren't you just watching the Outer Gods wreak havoc and the universe fall into ruin? Is the essence of [existence] simply ceasing to exist?"
"No, the essence of [existence] is eternal existence, yet also eternal nothingness."
It's almost here; that moment is almost here.
"......"
[Memory] cannot comprehend [Time], but He chooses to trust [Time]. Essence is always more profound than appearance, and at least on this point, He firmly believes.
[Existence] Amidst the cracks, a scene of "peace and tranquility" unfolds, while within the universe, fierce battles rage.
As the battle reached its final moment, all the gods, except for the still-resisting "War," collapsed.
It's not that the Outer Gods are fierce, but rather that the power of the Primordial Chaos is invincible!
Cheng Shi knew he should have perished long ago. With his passion for war alone, he was no match for the outer god of fate. But fate's cold-bloodedness seemed to force Cheng Shi to watch as the world was swallowed up by misfortune bit by bit.
He is high above, looking down upon the universe, utterly ruthless:
"In my search for what is destined, I have witnessed the collapse of countless universes and the end of countless worlds, and I thought that all of this would eventually end in this era."
Unfortunately, what is predetermined may bring good fortune, but not destiny.
Everything will come to an end; the era of nothingness has ended.
There will never be another era. The collapse of the world will attract the attention of the Creator, who will completely erase the traces of this starry sky and reshape an experiment here.
In this cataclysmic tide, I will seize a new wisp of [Primordial] power and travel to other worlds to continue searching for something that can break this predetermined order.
As for you...
Nothingness will be your eternal grave. Embrace nothingness; this is your final moment of existence in this world, in this experiment, in the real universe.
As soon as the words were spoken, darkness swallowed the vision of all living beings, and all the stars in the vast universe perished, their light extinguished.
The entire starry sky—no, the entire void—was left with only a faint flame. It was not a flame of hope, but the only eye that Cheng Shi, imprisoned in the misfortune of fate, could still open!
The left eye of war!
The flickering, dying flame in its eyes could only illuminate a small corner of the surroundings. It stubbornly rolled its eyes, trying its best to look around, but could no longer see any image of the world.
Time passed second by second, and the world seemed to have already been destroyed. Even He Himself was unsure whether this remaining consciousness was the obsession after His fall or the ashes of memories that bloomed when the world collapsed.
Unable to move or struggle, He watched as darkness drew ever closer, squeezing out the last glimmer of light, the last vestige of life in the universe.
The flames grew weaker and weaker, the light twisted and distorted, and all the anger, resentment, repression and despair erupted at this moment, but it still failed to rekindle the fire in His eyes, it was just a fleeting moment like a last gasp before death!
But in that fleeting burst of passion, those eyes, which should have been filled with anger, resentment, repression, and despair, suddenly changed color, becoming cunning, playful, sarcastic, and mocking!
Yes, as the world was about to face its final moments of nothingness, Cheng Shi smiled.
He was laughing at himself, and also at fate.
The Outer God wants to steal a wisp of the Primal Power once again in the tide of destruction, to continue His predetermined path of plunder. But the question is, before you steal something, did you ask the "completely unaware" master?
The origin is hateful, but fate is equally hateful.
If that's the case, why not use a hateful god to deal with another hateful god?
Cheng Shi hasn't given up yet; he still wants to "summon" [Yuan Chu]!
If the misfortune unleashed by the Outer God [Fate] can completely destroy the world, could the inherent misfortune of this world drag the departing Outer God to his death in this hopeless starry sky?
How will you know if you don't try?
So Cheng Shi smiled. In the last second before his consciousness faded, he stopped struggling and used his remaining divine power to activate...
Fate can take many detours!
Yes, fate can take many wrong turns, but does fate itself ever take a wrong turn?
Yes! Of course!
Just before the world was about to fall into nothingness, a pair of eyes that even the gods could not imagine suddenly opened before them!
Those eyes swept across the fear in the eyes of the gods for a moment, then vanished in the next second.
Unfortunately, Cheng Shi didn't see it.
The last spark of light in His eyes went out as His divine power was exhausted. In that instant, on the stage where there were no more "audiences" watching, the curtain of the era suddenly fell, burying the past of this starry sky into eternal darkness.
At this point...
The universe was annihilated, and nothingness descended.
