Having experienced a completely fabricated ending, Cheng Shi did not forget to reflect on his insights gained in despair.
Although it was difficult, almost like reliving the despair of that time, he did it anyway. During the break when Zhen Xin was gathering the clowns, he sorted out his thoughts again.
The established order is no longer a vague concept for him, but a clearly visible dead end.
At the beginning of the descent of [Nothingness], along with [Fate], came the devotion of His will to create a sacrificial throne for [The Primordial], which was predetermined.
[Deception], on the other hand, has wanted to break this divine throne since its birth. Regardless of what this divine throne represents, it ultimately signifies [Deception]'s rebellion.
Therefore, He set His sights on the predetermined fate and used the trick of "fooling" to win over the fear faction.
Although Cheng Shi possesses the vessel of "deception," he has never personally received acknowledgment of it. His attitude towards the identity of "fooling" is always one of mockery and amusement, which aligns with his predetermined, covert actions...
He cannot allow the established order to be corrupted by other faiths, because even if He could prevent [Fate] from creating the throne by cutting off its source, the world would lose its ending.
In the trials He gave, there was no ending for Chenxi and Ximu. It was He who, through the "reversal" hints of the deceptive trials, allowed players to fill in an ending for this false history.
This undoubtedly shows that He cares about this world and He doesn't want this world to lose its future.
Then he could not expose all of this, and could only follow the will of the Fear Faction and help conceal the lies of the God of Joy.
He also needed the identity of a Foolish Demon. In the absence of the full truth, the identity of a deity was more powerful than a thousand words, making unbelievable facts more credible.
Of course, Cheng Shi hadn't forgotten the terrifying scene of [Deception] tearing off its disguise and transforming into the Outer God [Destiny]. He wasn't certain that the [Deception] before him was definitely not an Outer God. He just knew that since the end of the era was fake, then there must be a god on his side.
So everything he's doing now isn't for the phobias, but for the world and for himself!
He needs to use every available force to intervene in the nihilistic ending.
He could not bear the tragedy repeating itself, nor could he accept that his future lay in another abyss of despair. Just as the Outer God [Fate] said in the false curtain call, "After one failure, I will be closer to success!"
Cheng Shi wasn't sure if this was the meaning of the trial bestowed upon him by the God of Joy, or if it was the guidance that [Deception] was giving him before the curtain fell on nothingness, but he hoped it was.
Never before had his fear resonated so deeply with the very thing he truly dreaded: the deception!
"This is......?"
“A container.” Cheng Shi toyed with the [Deception] container in his hand. “The key to becoming a god by gathering the dripping divinity of faith.”
Every deity has a vessel within them through which they 'produce' divinity. Divinity is never pieced together, but rather drips from the vessel. Therefore, the Tower of Reason has been studying the wrong direction for thousands of years.
But it's not wrong either.
Because the gods cannot see the vessel of the "Primordial One" and do not know how its divinity is condensed, the "Truth" can only allow its followers to experiment wildly, hoping to inspire them and find a way to get closer to the "Primordial One".
Unfortunately, he never found it before his death.
"Wait!" The doctor was stunned. He stepped out of the shadows and exclaimed in shock, "[Truth] is dead? Praise the foolish play."
"......"
Cheng Shi was also taken aback.
The doctor's question is correct, but the phrase "praising the fool" that follows makes it seem as if you wish for your benefactor's death, and I happen to be the murderer...
[Truth] He brought this upon himself; what does it have to do with me?
But then again... there is indeed some connection.
Cheng Shi nodded with a fascinating expression: "That's right, [Truth] is dead."
"So what is the 'truth' now? Praising foolishness."
"...[Deception], Lezi Shen played the role of [Truth]."
"!!??"
The doctor's eyes widened. The moment he learned the truth, his world... didn't collapse.
He had long believed that deception was the truth, but he never expected that the other party would believe it to be this kind of truth.
Now all his confusion about deception has melted into his obsession with truth, and coupled with his piety towards folly, he feels that he has become the person who understands truth best on the path of deception.
So the doctor opened his arms and praised from the bottom of his heart:
"Praise the foolish play!"
"......"
"......"
"......"
If the people present at this moment had never seen Foolishness before, it would be fine; the doctor's behavior could at most be categorized as that of a crazy player or a fanatical deity.
The problem is that the fool is Cheng Shi, standing right in front of everyone. All the clowns are equal. If you keep praising the fool like a sycophant, how are the others supposed to feel?
Longjing couldn't listen anymore. He covered his ears and said, "Master, stop reading. How about we switch to a script for a while? [Silence] Otherwise, how can this meeting continue?"
The doctor realized he had overreacted and bowed deeply before stepping back, saying, "Yes, I apologize. You flattered my foolishness."
"......"
Cheng Shi was also stunned. He shook his head and chuckled, then continued:
"The death of [Truth] revealed the truth of the real universe to this world, allowing the gods to glimpse the terror of the Creator. [War]... also died at the hands of [*He].
