Can it be the same?
If I want to ask something, I can go directly to [Fate] and ask, but if I want to ask [Time], do you think He will pay attention to me?
Not only is he ignoring me, you've been acting like that here, but He hasn't come to bother you, has He?
But seriously, why is there no time?
This sentence was so strange that Cheng Shi was puzzled, so he asked this question to [Fraud].
The God of Fun was silent for a moment, then said with a serious look, "Maybe it's because... His efficiency is too low?"
"......"
Cheng Shi gave up. He felt that his questions would only make him look more like a clown. But the problem was that if he didn't ask, no one would ever give him answers. So he could only look for the truth in jokes and teasing, and look for the essence hidden by illusions.
Because he always remembered what the God of Fun said, that the path of [Fraud] is to conceal one's true nature.
So, what is the essence of my benefactor hiding?
Cheng Shi frowned. He felt that asking like this would not produce any results, so he decided to change his approach and play the "emotional" card.
"My Lord, since I learned of your fear, I have become more determined to follow the path of deception. However, I do not want to be a confused pawn.
You plant the seeds for the illusion of the universe, but how this illusion will eventually grow depends entirely on how each seed absorbs nutrients on its own.
I don't seek to be the most 'real' or the most confusing. I only hope that I can use this illusion to cover up the fear in my heart during my growth. Of course, if I am lucky enough to cover up even a little bit of your hidden fear, then my life will be worthy of the word 'lie'.
The Joker spoke with great sincerity, and even though the person he was addressing in the end was not the God of Fun, Fraud's eyes froze for a moment after hearing his heartfelt words.
The stars in his eyes began to flicker in a disorderly manner, and the spirals in his eyes began to rotate forwards and backwards. The corners of his eyes were raised high, and his eyes were full of admiration, as if he was looking at the most perfect work of art in the universe.
"If I had not held the power of [fraud], I would have almost been fooled by you.
Very good, this is the collection I am interested in.
Remember, what I am going to say next is not because I am moved by the clown's lies, but a reward for your courage to deceive God.
In fact, this matter is far less complicated than you think. I am afraid of [Him], so naturally I have to find a way to stay away from [Him].
But how can I know whether my method is effective when *He] has not come yet?
It seems you have guessed it. Yes, whether it is [Fate] or [Time], some of their powers are related to the future, and only they have seen all possible futures, so your stubborn benefactor always says that you are predetermined.
Because He has already seen your end.
And I also want to see my ending.
So the next thing is very simple. I have to choose a helper between [fate] and [time]. Since [fate] is unreliable, I can only rely on [time].
Of course, where there are believers, there must be a benefactor. The Joker is a stable person, and the Joker’s benefactor is a stable God.
I was inspired by your endless greed, and thought that if I had to find a revelation in [Fate] and [Time], then why not let them give me a revelation together? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi pointed at himself in shock and said, "So you're targeting me? Will I be the revelation?"
"You? Tsk—
I have to say, your talent for making people laugh is commendable.
Don't overestimate yourself. You are just a fragile mortal. You don't even have the ability to foresee the future or the past, so how can you talk about enlightenment?
I just borrowed His preference for you, which made [fate] and [time] intersect.
As for the rest, I will have to slowly trick them out bit by bit in the future. Of course, Fate may not let me know, but Time is easy to trick. He will tell me the answer given by Fate."
【Time】 is so deceptive...
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank, and he became alert. He asked directly: "Is [Time] also a 'fear faction'?"
"No, He is not afraid. Well, probably because He does not have time to be afraid."
Cheng Shi twitched his lips, always feeling that this [time] without time was a [fraud] and a lie to fool him.
So the question remains, why does He have no time?
If one were to guess what a god is busy with, most players could only think of the struggle for faith. In the eyes of most people, only the struggle for faith could occupy the attention of a god.
But Cheng Shi didn't think so. You have to know that [Time] has agreed to merge with [Fate]. Regardless of why He agreed, at least this transformation cannot happen in an instant.
In other words, His agreement to the integration of opposing beliefs must have been after a long period of careful consideration, so what He was busy with before that must have no longer been a struggle of faith, at least not a struggle with opposing beliefs.
Thinking about what happened in this trial, Cheng Shi frowned, and an incredible thought came to his mind.
Could it be that what consumes [time] is not [fate], but... other [time]?
Or maybe other slices of that "real [time]"! ?
Don't forget, it was [Decay] that fell in Qin Xin's world where it was difficult to pass on fire. This means that there may be sixteen of them in each parallel world similar to this one. And if you want to intertwine different timelines in a trial, then is the [time] of your own world always dealing with the [time] of other worlds?
Come to think of it, does the God of Fun know about this?
Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to ask, but [Fraud]'s eyes turned teasing.
"You have a very vivid imagination, but you are wrong, that is not a parallel timeline.
Of course, parallel timelines do exist, and as you might imagine, the gods are high above and look over countless universes, but the so-called [Decay] fall you heard about...
Haha, it’s just a trick of [time] deduction.
That world does not exist, and [Decay] has never fallen. As for who fell, I will not say it to avoid suspicion of whipping the corpse.
Remember, not only is [nothingness] an illusion, but [existence] is too. I think you should have realized this truth deeply recently.
Don't dwell on these illusions, focus on the present moment is what you should do."
Illusion?
[Time] A trick of deduction?
So, Qin Xin, who had difficulty in passing on the fire, An Mingyu, who made a wrong prediction, Wang Weijin, who was lazy and did not make progress, and Li Wufang, who was destined to be the one, were all fake? They were all illusions in the deduction?
That's not right...
If they are all phantoms, then what about Jiang Chi's "overwrite"?
Cheng Shi frowned and fell into deep thought.
And at the moment he lowered his head, an unspeakable coldness flashed in those starry eyes.
