Chapter 1400: Meeting My Past Self



What happened next will not be repeated.

As an actor with professional ethics, apart from guiding Su Yida to the future through improvisation, he adhered to the principles of acting and meticulously recreated all the history that Cheng Shi had experienced.

Since it is all history, Cheng Shi's death is an unavoidable scene.

This was arguably the most enjoyable performance Longjing had ever given, where he could curse the clown without restraint and without fear of retaliation. The exhilarating feeling almost made him burst into laughter several times.

When he snapped the Joker's neck with his own hands, even though he knew it was just part of the story, his heart still skipped a beat.

It's all Su Yida's fault!

How did this script end up like this?!

Cheng Shi's body fell to the ground. Long Jing glanced at the corpse, his expression still acting out a complex mix of emotions, to the point that he uttered a remark as if he were part of a drama:

"I killed Cheng Shi? Hah, who would believe that?"

The confrontation with Zhao Qian, the torchbearer, afterward did not appear in Cheng Shi's memory, so Longjing could only improvise again.

In this fabricated history, the Firelinker had no reason to die again. However, the problem was that the clowns were unsure whether keeping Zhao Qian would affect the future of this world. Therefore, they had no choice but to make the decision for this respectable Firelinker: first, persuade him to die, and then resurrect him in another world.

This is also why Su Yida didn't take action himself, because Cheng Shi once said that a clown should never extinguish someone else's fire.

So Zhao Qian committed suicide again.

Longjing brought Zhao Qian's charred corpse to Su Yida, who was waiting in the void, and threw the parasitic wood to him, saying:

"Your goal and your token, good luck."

At this moment, Su Yida was extremely excited. He asked, suppressing his trembling voice, "How am I supposed to get back?"

go back......

What a clever use of the word "go back"—you got into that mindset pretty quickly.

Longjing smiled mysteriously:

"Wait, wait for an opportunity to leave. Take this and hide yourself in the void. Someone will send you away."

Su Yida caught the die, looking puzzled.

The Dice of Fate?

Was he picked up by a believer in "Destiny"?

Is there a second person accompanying this mission?

After saying goodbye to Su Yida, the rest of the play progressed very smoothly. Longjing also witnessed the Weaver of Fate who had adhered to "kindness" from that moment on. When he took out the divinity of "prosperity" on the ice field and threw it to Cheng Shi, he felt that the flame in his heart had been materialized.

but......

I amplified your shadow, shouldn't you thank me, clown?

However, Cheng Shi fainted on the icy plain during the trial, and could not give him the response he wanted no matter what.

The trial of [Annihilation] soon came to an end, and Longjing quietly withdrew from the scene due to the Wood Elf's shrewd calculations, his soul returning to the attached wood.

At the same time, Ying Chengshi took over the baton and began his destiny's journey.

At the moment the trial ended, he detached himself from the divinity of [Prosperity] and came to the void, where he took out his mask and paid homage to his benefactor, [Destiny].

He took a clever trick and made a secret invitation to [Fate] directly through the mask. [Fate] did not relay this to [Deception], but instead went to the appointment himself and came to the believer who should not have been there.

Looking at the long-lost "Fate," Cheng Shi, who knew everything, forced a smile and said, suppressing his grief:

"Long time no see, my benefactor."

[Fate] Remains as indifferent as ever. Even though Cheng Shi is Cheng Shi, he is not the Cheng Shi of this world.

"You shouldn't be here."

Those icy eyes could send a chilling wind whistling through the air with just a glance, yet Cheng Shi found the chilling wind around him to be a rare warmth.

This is also Him, and it has always been Him...

Fortunately, the shadow's faith is in "Fate," which makes "Fate" not too resistant to his appearance and allows him to keep his promise and come here to see the predetermined future.

"It seems that the projection of [time] is not entirely without merit; at least the oversight of [existence] acknowledges that [fate] is the predetermined future."

What brings you here?

[Existence] If you dislike falsehoods, your existence will not last long.

"......"

At this time, "Fate" was still completely unaware of the truth of the universe, and it still believed that it was an error that had been deduced from "Time".

This also proves that the so-called "destiny" that supposedly reveals the true nature of the universe is no longer capable of revealing the true nature of the universe...

Cheng Shi didn't reveal everything; he just smiled and said:

“My lord, this is too boring.”

Before he could finish speaking, the biting wind in the void nearly annihilated Cheng Shi, but Cheng Shi showed no fear. Instead, he embraced the coldness of [Fate] with open arms, his eyes slightly red, his smile unchanged, and said:

"The predetermined fate remains unchanged, permeating the entire era."

I don't reject what's already happened, and I understand that it's what brought me to where I am today, but my benefactor, you're too biased...

Certainly, the established is your authority, but so is change!

Since there are established figures at the beginning and end of an era, can the middle of an era provide more opportunities for change?

This is harmless, isn't it, my benefactor?

Cheng Shi's tone was complex, low yet sunny, bright yet sobbing. Even though [Fate] prided itself on being the [Nothingness] master who understood the truth of the universe, at this moment, it couldn't see through the true origins of this believer who had emerged from error.

But undeniably, he drew close to fate and steadfastly adhered to what was predetermined, and that was enough.

Fate remained silent.

He only approves of what is established and dislikes any change, but when He senses the inexplicable sadness in the believers, He finds it difficult to refuse.

After much deliberation, He once again chose forgiveness.

What do you intend to do?

"I......"

Cheng Shi was at a loss for words. His heart was filled with endless emotions and sighs. Everything that Cheng Da Shi had done in the past was now being replayed in his life.

So he really did come.

So, he was me.

“It’s not that I want to do anything, but that you, my benefactor, should treat everyone equally and give change a chance to manifest itself.”

Of course, since I'm already here, before we correct the fallacies of "existence," let me have a small wish granted.

I want to see him. I won't bother him; just a silent glance will suffice.

"Is that alright, my benefactor?"

[Fate] remained silent, turned and left.

Cheng Shi, who carried the aura of "Destiny," was also placed into that unforgettable trial of "Destiny" by "Destiny" himself. When the Star Dagger was revealed to Cheng Shi, the gear called Destiny began to turn repeatedly.

After the trial ended, watching Zhen Yi, who had been repeatedly testing the waters, completely disappear into the void, Ying Chengshi reappeared and touched his neck.

"...Will it work?"

After reflecting on his current situation, he shook his head, chuckled, and silently left.

Cheng Dashi has been here.

I saw my past self.
