That's right, Cheng Shi was just acting.
He must help [Fraud] cover up its actions of escaping the world and heading to the real universe.
Ultimately, however, the power of deception did not grant him anything. As a mortal, he could not do much in front of the gods, especially when folly was still present. It was even less likely that he could easily fool the gods.
So he could only go back to his old ways, deceiving people, or rather, deceiving gods!
The illusory is the real, and the real is the illusory.
A lie told by a liar is obviously false, but what if a liar who has always lied suddenly tells the truth... do you think people would believe him?
It's hard to say.
There are always clever people, like the foolish one, who can see through everything.
The brilliance of the scheme devised by [Deception] to extricate itself lies in this: it presents the gods with an irrational situation, making it difficult for all the gods to judge whether the current irrationality is actually reasonable.
Just like a predetermined identity!
By this time, they may not know the truth about "Nothingness," but everyone knows how much effort "Nothingness" has made to establish this era.
As [Foolishness] said, seeing that the era is about to come to an end, can [Deception], which has resisted for so long, perish on its own at the end of the era?
That's a joke.
Not to mention that there is another [Destiny] who has not shown up for a long time, which seems to be a trick by [Void].
Furthermore, it is preordained that this mortal chosen by [Nothingness] was almost pampered by [Nothingness] throughout the entire game, with the two masters of the era shielding him from all storms. Now you are telling me that he just stood there dumbfounded, witnessing the self-destruction of his benefactor?
Even the most absurd screenwriter couldn't come up with a story like this.
According to the gods' understanding of deception, the established order before them can never be the true established order, and He will not allow His answer to attract the world's attention alone!
They were not as bold as the foolish ones, daring to directly assume that what was certain was fraud.
However, it makes sense. If it is indeed the key to the [Origin], then by deceiving the Creator, He might be trying to get closer to [*He] in this way, and deliver a "fatal blow" to the Creator when He is closest to [*He].
Cheng Shi also figured out this logic, and immediately put on a dramatic performance, starting a game of wits with [Foolishness].
[Confusion], no, it should be Zhen Xin, she only glanced at Cheng Shi and realized that this person was lying again.
She understood despair all too well. True despair is never a hysterical scream or questioning, but a silent tremor and an uncontrollable nausea. If [deception] had truly self-destructed, no matter how strong Cheng Shi was, she would never have acted as "distorted" as she did now.
So this must be a play. She just couldn't figure out whether the person standing in front of her was the "deception" that "Foolishness" spoke of, or the real Cheng Shi.
But it doesn't matter, she can cooperate with anyone.
Realizing that the clown was lying, Zhen Xin simply activated the power of "Chaos," making the already unclear situation even more chaotic.
In this situation, coupled with the words of "foolishness," the gods' gazes towards Cheng Shi changed, and even the allies of the Fear faction began to have doubts.
[Death] Green flames roared in his eye sockets, and he looked Cheng Shi up and down with a face full of suspicion.
The Leaky Boundary Puppet silently drifted behind Cheng Shi, attempting to use assimilation to verify whether the other party was human or god.
Cheng Shi felt his body stiffen, slowly beginning to be assimilated. But unexpectedly, this unstoppable assimilation by [Silence] provided [Foolishness] with further evidence, prompting [Foolishness] to sneer:
"It turns out there were supporting actors in this performance."
You acted well, but I suggest you don't do it again next time.
Nobody likes to see foolish acts.
After saying that, [Foolish] left, as if staying even a second longer would have polluted the scene with his foolishness.
The appearance of [Birth] is a routine matter, and [Time] has no time to come and "observe the ceremony." There are very few gods left in the universe. This time, even [Corruption] did not show up, which shows that His corruption is about to come to an end.
[Silence] silently withdrew and left, and [Chaos] followed her. She knew that Cheng Shi would have to explain to the clowns sooner or later.
[Death] Yao Yao glanced at Cheng Shi, giving him a look that said "come see me later," then sighed softly and turned into a torrent of white bones that roared away.
The anger of being deceived was no longer in His eyes, showing that the return of the gravedigger had completely soothed the dissatisfaction in the heart of the "cold old man".
Given the magnitude of the event, Cheng Shi was not surprised by the boss's attitude. Anyone who saw their ally—no, the leader of the Fear Faction—perish here would probably be filled with suspicion and disbelief.
How to deal with the mess left by [Fraud] became a problem that Cheng Shi had to face, especially since at this moment, in the eyes of the gods, he was still bearing a false divine name of [Fraud].
But at least for this moment, the void cleared up again, leaving only a clown, staring blankly at the dried traces of laughter and mockery.
To be honest, in the short period between [Fraud]'s escape and the arrival of the gods, Cheng Shi had wondered more than once if [Fraud] had done something drastic to him.
Seeing no hope for the world, He let loose, made a series of promises, then gave up on himself, and the deception became reality. He actually perished here right before his own eyes, creating the greatest "fun" for the world.
This is also why Cheng Shi was on edge when he witnessed that moment.
But now he seemed to believe it somewhat, because if [Fraud] were really dead, the Fearers would never be so calm, [Foolishness]'s contempt would never be so understated, and they would never commit the foolish act of mistaking themselves for [Fraud].
