I'm back!
When Cheng Shi opened his eyes and saw the dazzling starry sky above the rooftop, the shock in his heart had not subsided.
The blazing white crown of prosperity remained in his vision like a brand, leaving a silhouette belonging to countless big cats that could neither be dispelled nor erased.
He found it hard to imagine what kind of worldline development would lead so many Honglins to challenge the unshakeable throne of the Creator with the power of [Primordial Origin], nor could he imagine how many worlds' Honglins had gathered together with the same mission.
When they meet each other in that place, will they feel a pang of sorrow? grief? or high spirits and a united will?
It's probably the latter, after all, it's a big cat, a druid who would do anything for his friends.
If she could see a million versions of herself, each with the same unwavering determination, she would probably be incredibly happy...
Cheng Shi thought that having witnessed the charge of war, the blood drying up and the fire stopping, and the blood-red mockery, he would never be shocked to this extent again, but he still underestimated the creatures in this universe.
Knowing there was no way forward, they still forged ahead with all their might.
The resistance of life never ceases from the moment of birth, and reaches its peak in the moment before death!
Whether they succeeded or not is unknown, but he was certain that they did not rot in the corner of failure.
Cheng Shi was deeply shocked by this.
Fortunately, I was also rebelling, just like them.
Unfortunately, my fate will most likely be the same as theirs: to live without regrets and to die with brilliance...
No!
We can't think like that. The future is uncertain, and anything is still possible.
Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he got up. He immediately picked up the phone and called Zhang Jizu to confirm that Old Zhang, who hadn't appeared in front of him, had also returned safely.
The call was quickly connected, and the moment Zhang Jizu's voice came from the other end of the line, Cheng Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, able to report back to Boss [Death].
But before he could finish exhaling, he shuddered and froze on the spot.
Because the words coming from the other end of the phone were:
"Cheng Shi, the audience has begun..."
The cruel reality caught Cheng Shi off guard once again. In fact, he knew that the audience had begun even without Zhang Jizu's reminder, because when he turned his head, he had already seen the void gate that was wide open on the roof of the rest area.
A vortex-like void door suddenly appeared, and countless masked wind chimes, some laughing, some angry, some sad, and some crying, hung outside the door. Endless breaths of deception surged from behind the door, like a gentle breeze, pattering on the masks, playing a song of deception that "caused laughter" for the shocked Cheng Shi in front of the door.
Is this the gate to the audience?
Listening to the cheerful melody, Cheng Shi felt as if the tinkling wind chimes were mocking him, as if they were laughing at him for being late again—no, it should be said that he had returned just in time.
Look, as soon as you returned, the audience was convened.
Could this be a coincidence?
Definitely not!
It's happening again! Every time I return from the real universe, this reclusive god of fun twists time, squeezing out the clown's waiting time and forcing him onto the stage.
He never asks for his own opinion, nor does he give himself any warning. He simply and bluntly throws the stage in front of him and waits for the clown to perform.
Couldn't the clown have prepared something?
Doesn't the Joker have the right to know?!
Okay, even if the Joker doesn't have the right to know, he must have the right to choose, right?
You want me to go? I'm not going!
At this moment, the Joker's rebellious spirit was fully unleashed. His eyelids twitched wildly, and he spat fiercely into the void. He stared intently at the void gate and took two steps back, expressing his resistance through his actions.
However, those two steps almost caused him to crash into another door!
Yes, another door!
There's a second door leading down from the rooftop of the rest area!
An identical void gate opened behind him. This black gate no longer had the dangling masked wind chimes, but instead had countless strings of dice forming a beaded curtain.
Cheng Shi's head brushed against the dice curtain, eliciting faint murmurs.
The countless dice rubbed against each other, creaking and whispering, the chaotic sounds making one's heart flutter with unease. Cheng Shi wished he could rip all the dice off at once, but when he reached out, he suddenly realized that his hand seemed to have entered a void, and what he held in his hand was not the annoying dice curtain, but the mocking masked wind chime!
He was almost deceived by the illusion and stepped into the door of fraud!
"grass!"
Cheng Shi cursed angrily, quickly withdrew his hand, jumped out of the door and stood still, looking at the two strange void gates in front of him with an indescribable expression.
Having just experienced that scene, he wasn't even sure if the tokens on the two doors in front of him were the right ones.
Could it be that the door draped in masks leads to an audience with "Destiny," while the stage adorned with dice is actually a preparation for "Deception"?
Did the God of Joy see through the Joker, so he pulled a counter-strategy?
Cheng Shi's face darkened.
There seemed to be two choices, but in reality there were no choices at all. The clown originally wanted to choose neither, but those two doors were like anchor points for the void to invade reality, constantly expanding and spreading. Before long, they swallowed up the reality of the entire rooftop rest area, turning it into two different voids, and began to erode the only pure land under Cheng Shi's feet.
If he doesn't make a choice soon, he will be swallowed by the Gate of the Void, and then it seems that which gate he enters will depend solely on the will of the [Void].
