In this world, I was the one who drew back the curtain on the truth of the universe!?
When Longjing learned all this, he automatically blocked out Cheng Dashi's existence and included the version of himself that had once come to this world as himself.
I never realized how important I am to this world!
I never knew I had made such a great contribution to the world!
At this moment, the frustration of being abandoned by his benefactor vanished, and Longjing felt radiant with light!
He stared intently at Cheng Shi, wanting to say, "Quickly thank me," but after a long pause, he couldn't get the words out. Instead, he suppressed his radiant aura, gave an awkward smile, and then said uncertainly:
"So, the so-called 'Fire-Borrowing Plan' is to have me impersonate Su Yida, travel to another world to meet another version of you, and then unveil the truth of the universe for that world!?"
"?"
What was originally a matter of passing on the torch has turned into a solo show by an acrobat in Chairman Gong's mouth.
Do you also enjoy performing solo acts?
Cheng Shi's eyes darkened for a moment, then he instantly smiled and said, "Yes, you understand correctly."
Longjing was amused, but he quickly frowned and asked in confusion:
"If that's the case, why make it so complicated?"
What role does the solution play in the plan? Can't we bypass it and get out on our own?
Cheng Shi shook his head. "There's no way out. The passageway is closed, and the laughter and jeers have dried up..."
"What?" Everyone was stunned, saying in disbelief, "The nose that can detect fakes?"
"...We might need to think about Nose Brother's matter again. He probably won't hide his nose from us."
Of course, it's also possible that the Joker has already put on his nose, but he just doesn't know it yet.
Cheng Shi chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Time has also stopped seeing me. Now, perhaps only magic can open the passage to leave this world."
So we can't get around him no matter what.
Longjing nodded. How to get out wasn't important; the problem was how to pass the fire. He frowned and said:
"We've been through so much, we clearly know which way to go, so why can't we just tell the other clown?"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
It was Zhen Xin, not Cheng Shi, who answered Longjing.
She tapped her arm with her fingertips and shook her head, saying, "Back then, Cheng Shi didn't know the truth about the sliced universe, he didn't know you, and he didn't even believe that his future self would go back to the past to see him. If you told him that, in his eyes, you could only be a liar."
He wasn't like he is now back then...
Zhen Xin glanced at Cheng Shi, "...So trusting of others."
Cheng Shi understood Zhen Xin's sarcasm and gave a helpless, self-deprecating laugh:
That's because you are trustworthy.
From the perspective of the Creator's experiment, the development of world lines is far more complex than we imagine. Based on my observations of different worlds in the real universe, the development of world lines in different slice universes may have already become entangled for some reason.
I don't know when these entanglements began, but I'm certain our world has already fallen into them, and these entanglements determine the 'distance' that different worlds can travel.
This means that even a small change could trigger not just an earthquake in one world, but a tsunami in countless others.
Unless we can be absolutely certain that directly revealing the truth will cause the evolution of a world to proceed in the direction we expect, otherwise...
Any unnecessary actions could turn the linking of the fire into a 'contagion,' accelerating the destruction of that world, or even triggering a chain reaction.
This is why, even though there are indeed wandering beings in the real universe, we have not been able to learn the full truth from them.
Even they probably couldn't be sure what the consequences would be if they knew something in advance.
No one dared to gamble, so everyone followed the footsteps of history, repeating the same patterns over and over again, until a chance encounter sparked a destiny that propelled some fortunate world forward...
It now seems that we are very likely the luckiest world.
Therefore, what we need to do is repeat!
Longjing tea, this is the most crucial step. You need to carefully remember all the memories I have experienced, and then dutifully perform everything Su Yida has done.
Ideally, the events should be restored to their original state 100%; even if that's not possible, at least the course of events shouldn't be arbitrarily altered.
Remember, every word you say may affect not just Cheng Shi, but the entire world he inhabits!
"!!!"
Hearing this, Longjing finally understood why this mission was so important.
This is not about sharing a map they explored with a later world, but about flawlessly guiding that world onto the path they walked!
Cheng Shi continued:
"Whether in the real universe or in the gap of [existence], all the beings from other worlds I have encountered say that I am the luckiest one. Perhaps it is their support that has brought us to where we are now, but this is the only way we can go. There is no more guidance on the road ahead."
The good news is that the fears have not left us; God is still God, and He is working for the future of the world in accordance with our will.
The bad news is that whether this effort is worthwhile or not, we need to try it ourselves to find out.
There is too much uncertainty involved. Before leading the world astray, we must first pass on this section of the correct path.
Passing on the fire, passing the flame from flame to flame, that is the true way to pass on the fire.
Having received Cheng Dashi's kindness, we naturally want to pass on this kindness to the next world without any deviation.
