Cheng Shi was shocked after hearing this, and Zhang Jizu was just as shocked.
He was so wary of the source of the voice from beneath the mass grave, how could he have imagined that it was just the voice coming from a divine throne!
"You said you took that throne?"
Cheng Shi nodded emphatically: "Yes, it's in my personal space right now."
As he spoke, Cheng Shi took out one of the puzzle pieces of the Divine Throne, which, coincidentally, was the broken and tightly closed Eye of the Star.
Zhang Jizu was taken aback: "[Deception] Him..."
“This is not His corpse, and I don’t know where this one belongs. This is something I took off the throne, which is enough to prove that the throne is in my hands. So why is there another throne here?”
The two men exchanged a glance, their expressions simultaneously darkening.
Human logic is completely incomprehensible. The only way to find out the reason is to go deeper and go to the space behind the wall of the mortal pit to see with your own eyes whether there is another divine throne there.
Cheng Shi undoubtedly wanted to go, but Zhang Jizu grabbed him.
“Anything unusual is bound to be dangerous. You didn’t know there was a divine throne here before you came, so this is not your purpose.”
Let's finish the important business first, then we can think about other things.
As expected of Old Zhang, he's still as steady as ever. Cheng Shi nodded; at this point, he could only choose to play it safe.
Zhang Jizu was still puzzled. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you've already taken the throne, why have you come back?"
Cheng Shi pointed to the surrounding corpses of gods and said in a deep voice, "Take the materials."
"These corpses?"
"Yes, I'm going to use these corpses to conduct an experiment that foresees the future!"
"?"
Zhang Jizu was stunned. In his understanding, there seemed to be no experiments that required the use of gods as materials, or rather, there could not have been any experiments using the corpses of gods as materials in the long history of the Tower of Reason.
The faith has endured to this day, and no matter how fanatical the believers of the gods are, they would never put their own benefactor into an experimental chamber.
They might want to, but they certainly can't.
Today, Cheng Shi has succeeded because he has plenty of materials at hand.
As the clown spoke, he moved around the corpses of the gods, saying, "Take as many as you can. I'm not sure how many I need, and I'm not sure if the experiment will succeed, but we have to try."
A lot has happened during this time. I went to see Wei Mu and confronted him about some of the truths of the world. He used his extraordinary intelligence to tell me that the future that Le Zishen described for the world may not be what people imagine!
[Yuan Chu] was unable to resist, so the hope given by the God of Joy was more like a desperate act of despair.
I'm not resigned to this; I always feel there's still a way out...
When he said these words, Cheng Shi's expression was unusually complicated, and he was not sure what he was doing.
Even the gods couldn't find a better way, so how could a mortal with a fixed title possibly find one?
But his tone was resolute, because he knew that if even he, as the key to the world, gave up, how could the clown, the destined one, the torchbearer, and the world itself still struggle?
Zhang Jizu was a smart man. He sensed the confusion and helplessness in Cheng Shi's words, as well as the clown's courage to step into the spotlight. So he interrupted Cheng Shi in time, preventing the unanswerable question from falling, and simply nodded in agreement:
There must be a way.
Even if there is no road, people will forge a new one.
It's true that you are the world's hope, but this world belongs to everyone. Don't shoulder all the pressure alone; at least the clown... will always share the burden with you.
As he spoke, Zhang Jizu began his "shopping spree".
For the gravedigger, there is a better way to contain these corpses than through his personal storage space.
This was an unexpected bonus for Cheng Shi's procurement, as it would have been difficult for him to bring back so many materials on his own.
The two men were working diligently at the edge of the morgue, determined to lay a solid foundation for the experiment, or at least to prepare for potential losses if the experiment failed. They completely forgot how Cheng Shi had gotten there.
On that distant Time-Space Dolphin Bridge, a big cat eager to charge is waiting!
Hong Lin waited for Cheng Shi for a long time, but he did not arrive. His brows furrowed, and he jumped off the long bridge and came to the battlefield of the gods' corpses.
Although she also had her own tasks, she couldn't bear to let a Weaver of Fate, who had been put in danger by her own hand, go and never return.
Regardless of which world Cheng Shi comes from, since she has already intervened, she must take full responsibility.
So she came, and then she saw two porters "stealing" things from the morgue.
In that instant, Hong Lin, who was empowered by the Seven-Colored Divine Power, couldn't control her eyelids and they twitched violently.
She felt as if she had seen that unreliable fortune weaver from long ago again, who was full of lies!
Back then, he was just like he is now, readily extending his hand whenever there was a benefit.
Even after witnessing this scene, Honglin did not urge them on. She simply stood silently in the center of the pit of corpses, protecting the two thieves.
Zhang Jizu remained vigilant throughout, and soon discovered someone behind him. Startled, he immediately pushed Cheng Shi into the pile of corpses, then took out his scalpel and stood on the edge of the pit, turning to face the impending danger alone.
But when he saw that the outsider was Hong Lin, Zhang Jizu's eyes widened for a moment.
"Honglin?"
Hong Lin glanced with interest at the tomb keeper's eyes, which, no matter how big, weren't that big, and chuckled, saying:
"It's not me, it's also me."
Have you stolen enough? If you have, come back with me.
