He walked to the end of the hall, exchanged a glance with Cheng Shi, and remained silent.
The departure of [Death] was a heavy blow to both of them. The good boss who was willing to protect his employees and the benefactor who loved to favor his believers were no longer there.
After a long silence, Zhang Jizu was the first to break the silence.
"Death is not the real end; departure is the longest-lasting companionship."
When I buried them in the cemetery with my own hands, I knew that they were simply accompanying me in another way.
The same applies to our benefactor.
Since he has entrusted these things to me, from this day forward, I shall be the guardian of the world's tombs.
"Go ahead and try the path ahead with confidence. At least before I die, the world will be without gods and perish."
"......"
Zhang Jizu's words reminded Cheng Shi of Old Zhang from another world. It turned out that not only himself, but also people from every world were very similar.
Cheng Shi waved his hand, activating the power recognized by all the gods. With the approval of the [Covenant], Zhang Jizu, holding the [Death] container, inherited everything from the [Death] boss.
At the moment when green flames shone and white bones cheered, Cheng Shi seemed to think of something, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

However, seeing you reminds me of another question: The authority of [Annihilation] was originally in Your Excellency's hands, but now that You have departed, who will inherit the throne of [Annihilation]?
Zhang Jizu used the power of [Death] to stain the container, pondered for a moment, and gave an answer:
"Mo Shu".
"I remember you two had some friction?"
Personal grudges are insignificant compared to the future of the world.
Most importantly, he is close enough to [Annihilation], and he no longer has the ambition to destroy the world.
The inheritor of [Annihilation] must be stable.
Without a believer like Mo Shu who has personally witnessed the self-destruction of His Lord, any succession could very well evolve into the next global crisis.
We can no longer afford any more risks. From this moment forward, the world must unite. It may not be the best option, but it is the most prudent one.
Cheng Shi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I see."
