The silence at the scene was largely dispelled by Cheng Shi's smile.
At this point, all that follows will be baseless speculation and meaningless. If you really want to prove these things, just ask the God of Music.
Before today, Cheng Shi couldn't wait to see Him, but after today... he wished the day of the audience could be postponed indefinitely, so that he would have enough time to complete the plan in his heart.
Wei Mu was also very curious about what kind of plan the foolish master, who had been chosen as the "originator," would come up with when faced with such a "dead end."
Cheng Shi didn't go into details. He bid farewell to the torchbearer and told Wei Mu not to leave this world, as he would soon return to find him.
When Wei Mu heard the word "come back," he already guessed where Yu Xi was going.
The real universe!
That's right. To complete the plan in his heart, Cheng Shi still needs to make some preparations, so he still needs to go to the real universe!
Furthermore, Old Zhang is still outside and hasn't been brought back yet; the plan wouldn't be possible without the tomb keeper's involvement.
However, given the current situation and its established importance, it's unlikely that Lezi Shen will agree to let him out again.
The real universe is fraught with danger, where even the fearful cannot protect themselves, and the friends who could lend a helping hand will be hard to bring out this time.
The actions of multiple people will inevitably be discovered by Lezi, but this risk must be taken. The reason is simple: Cheng Shi is unwilling to believe that the methods provided by [deception] and [time] are the only answers to the world unless he personally walks through all the despairing paths.
He would not accept such a compromise unless he saw with his own eyes that there was a dead end under his feet.
So, after leaving the Fire-Connecting Hall, Cheng Shi quickly returned to the Temple of Chaos, where he reunited with Zhen Xin.
He didn't rush to tell Zhen Xin Wei Mu's conjecture, but only said one sentence:
"I need to go out for a while."
Zhen Xin was taken aback. Of course she knew what "going out" meant, but did it have to be at this time?
When calculating the "Iron Laws of Order," one must consider whether the established identity will cause problems. Once one leaves the world and goes to the real universe, who can guarantee that the person who goes out will definitely return unharmed?
She frowned, intending to offer some advice, but seeing the seriousness on Cheng Shi's face, she sighed softly and said, "Fine, tell me your backup plan, all your backup plans to return to this starry sky, and I'll cooperate with you."
Cheng Shi paused for a moment before saying, "I will send my shadow; my main body will not take any risks."
Zhen Xin shook her head: "We can't be sure whether the established fact is you or a whole consisting of you and your shadow. This isn't a backup plan, it's a gamble."
"......"
Cheng Shi was at his wit's end. He couldn't possibly have any backup plans when facing the real universe, which was the territory of the [Origin]. No life form under this universe dared to guarantee that it could run rampant in the real universe.
But precisely because that place is the territory of the [Primordial One], all life forms that enter there will be extremely cautious, and the caution of others is their own opportunity.
He will not abandon his shadow or his true form; he must preserve his strength when no one can help him.
When Cheng Shi explained this theory to Zhen Xin, all he got in return was a glare from her.
She knows liars all too well; she herself is a liar. Such seductive rhetoric might have worked in the past, but when she becomes a god, one of the sixteen true gods who rule the universe under this starry sky, she will no longer believe these "naive" and absurd lies.
This conman is a compulsive gambler; he has no backup plan!
If she didn't know he was the key to the world, she would let him go and explore, it wouldn't matter. But once she knew that the future of the world depended on this Weaver of Fate, how could Zhen Xin possibly agree to his adventure?
So, she stared into Cheng Shi's eyes and said with a half-smile:
When will you be back?
"Isn't life just a gamble... huh?" Cheng Shiben had already prepared his speech, just waiting to muster up the emotion to persuade her, but he didn't expect Zhen Xin to agree so easily?
He looked up and blinked, only to see Zhen Xin give him a disdainful look and say sarcastically:
“You are the predetermined one, the key to this world. I am just a magician who has been placed on a divine throne by the predetermined one. How could I know what the future is?”
If my foolish actions were to slow down your efforts to find a future for the world, I would be eternally sorry.
"......"
"Besides, who can persuade the foolish lord?"
If I still disagree, are you going to insidiously bring up Mingyu's situation to tell me that everyone's choice is risky when the future is uncertain?
"......"
At this moment, Cheng Shi felt that Zhen Xin was not like "chaos," but rather like a "deceitful" person who could see through people's hearts.
Believe it or not, that's exactly what he thought.
Although this method was "despicable," Cheng Shi had no other choice but to go out.
Seeing that the Fate Weaver had looked away, Zhen Xin knew that she had guessed correctly; that was indeed what he was thinking.
"Despicable!" Zhen Xin cursed angrily, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "What should I do? [Chaos] has no authority to make you leave this starry sky."
A smile crept onto Cheng Shi's lips, and he said to Zhen Xin again, "Thank you."
He's been saying thank you way too many times lately. "I didn't think you'd agree."
Zhen Xin lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, then sighed and said softly:
"I've said it before, Cheng Shi, be yourself."
Being trapped in an endless quagmire of pressure makes it impossible to take that step to break free from fate.
