On the other side, the Fishbone Hall.
When Cheng Shi realized that [Time] had truly left the world, his first thought was not about the clues left by Time, but about where the other Fear factions were.
Cheng Shi admitted that he really panicked at that moment. He was afraid that the boss of "death" would leave behind the throne silently, just like "time," and then completely embrace death.
Fortunately, death was not so "merciless".
But the enormous skull sitting on the divine throne brought Cheng Shi another piece of bad news:
[Silence] departed along with [Time], and they went together to the real universe.
"He seemed to have found a new direction, and was therefore unusually happy."
"!!!"
What does "new direction" refer to?
Is it wandering in the real universe like that giant leaky doll "corpse" in the real universe?
Upon hearing this news, Cheng Shike was not happy at all. The determination in his eyes almost wavered. He stared blankly at the "Death" boss, unable to muster a smile.
"Why?
My lord, although I took away the voting power of the Fear faction, I never intended to 'exterminate' them.
I genuinely want to find a path to the future that can offer hope to all those who are fearful, and I even have a direction in mind, but those who are fearful...
Is it truly only when all the old gods have perished that a new world will arrive?
The green flames in the giant skull's eye sockets were gone, and its empty gaze stared at the employees in the hall, letting out a soft sigh.
He knew that Cheng Shi wasn't ignorant, but simply unwilling to accept it.
“I know your heart, but the old gods will not perish, so how can the new gods be vindicated?”
Although I have never told you about the future, your shrewdness suggests that you already knew the meaning of "deception".
Cheng, Shi.
Your gaze should be on what lies ahead, not on us, the Old Gods.
If fear and will ultimately triumph, who says that fall isn't the beginning of a new chapter...?
That being said, if Cheng Shi had not cared about the fall of the gods and men around him, he would never have used his own body to pass on the torch after the false curtain fell, let alone have pushed everyone to come here.
Upon hearing the word "death," Cheng Shi fell silent.
The burden of the Fear faction ultimately fell entirely on his shoulders.
Are you leaving too?
The enormous skull opened its mouth, let out a long sigh, but did not respond.
Cheng Shi nodded gently, nodded repeatedly, nodded frantically, the nods becoming larger and larger, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
"Okay, I don't blame you, and I have no right to refute you. On the contrary, for the sake of this world, I have to thank you for all your contributions to the possible future that the world may have."
Thank you for your blessing.
Thank you for saying goodbye...
I understand. I will carry the will of the Fearers and keep going until I reach that other side where there is no creator.
You may leave at any time without informing me.
Cheng Shi's voice grew softer and softer, until only he could probably hear the last sentence. But after saying all this, he suddenly looked up at the enormous skull on the throne, suppressing the tremor in his voice, and asked, word by word:
"But before that, you must tell me, where does the Lord's authority lie?!"
In fact, this question is meaningless. As the agent of the Convention, Cheng Shi could find the authority of fraud in the simplest way. He also knows that fraud could never take the authority out of the world, but he still asked this question.
What he wanted to know was not where the power lay, but an answer, a confirmation of the outcome of the [fraud] speculation.
Has fraud truly fallen?
The giant skull remained silent. Looking at the "employee" pleading for mercy before it, it felt a pang of pity, but still spat out several strands of deceptive power that could "turn marrow into bone and bone into marrow" from its mouth!
That's right, the power of fraud resides in the hands of death!
"!!!!!"
Seeing this, Cheng Shi finally extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
"He has gone."
After the void collapsed, before you sought an audience, Justice (Order) brought me His final pronouncement.
He will temporarily entrust everything to me until you succeed to the [Covenant] and monopolize everything in the universe.
This is His deal with Justice (Order), and it is also the reason why Justice (Order) wishes to entrust you with the responsibility of acting on His behalf.
[Fraud], immortal, [Justice (order)], dare not, depart.
I did not intend to deceive you; it was just that He repeatedly warned me not to let you know everything.
While He was alive, you still had motivation, but once you learned of His fall too soon...
Then, fear will make it even harder for the will to move forward.
Despair can be a weapon, but only if there is a light ahead to guide you.
He transformed into that flame-colored hue.
Unfortunately, the light is fleeting, and you must now proceed in the dark.
Cheng, be yourself.
"......"
[Death] The boss lied to me!
He knew everything, but He still deceived himself.
Of course, it's not my fault for not noticing; He acted too well, and with the power of deception in His hands, how could He not fool me?
