Of the sixteen thrones, none had ever been seen except for the throne of [Corruption]. Now, the only vacant thrones are those of [Annihilation], [Foolishness], [Time], and [Nothingness].
With Sun Miao's disappearance, the only remaining candidate for "Foolishness" is Galusa.
[Fate] The reason why He sent Hu Xuan into that trial was clearly because He foresaw this scene at the end of the era. That's why He had the sage bring Galusa out of that trial and make her the candidate for [Foolishness] now.
Furthermore, since "fate" is "deception," this means that at that time, "deception" had already found the power of "foolishness" and left a contingency plan for it.
So, was Sun Miao also one of His backup plans?
The candidate for [Annihilation] has been finalized. Old Zhang was right. Nowadays, the world only seeks stability. [Annihilation] believers are always irritable and will annihilate the world at the drop of a hat. It is really difficult to find a [Annihilation] believer who is close to the established order but not so irritable.
Cheng Shi once again lamented that everything he did was predestined. He had spared Mo Shu's life, but little did he know that he had brought about a "relatively stable" annihilation for the universe.
[Destiny] will definitely be inherited by the blind man, but the matter of this divine throne may have to be put on hold for now, because the flame of hope has not yet been found.
Although Cheng Shi no longer needed to rely on a vessel to allow the blind man to inherit the throne of Destiny after becoming the agent of the [Covenant], the Flame of Hope was also their companion. Before seeing each other again, he felt that he could not directly deprive [Destiny] of everything.
Furthermore, Cheng Shi already had some guesses about the identity of the Flame of Hope. He believed that the Flame of Hope would always be the Flame of Hope, and even if the other party got close to [Destiny], it would never make a decision that went against the established order at this time.
The remaining [time] and [fraud]...
[Fraud] is not so bad, after all, Longjing is a devout and "loyal" acrobat, and his second-place ranking proves that he has gone far enough down the road of [Fraud].
However, when it came to the position of [Time], Cheng Shi could only think of a few old friends who believed in [Time], but their performance seemed far from being absolutely close to the will of [Time].
What should we do?
Just as Cheng Shi was deep in thought and struggling with his dilemma, two more figures suddenly appeared in the void.
Li Jingming arrived with Longjing. Looking bewildered, Longjing's first reaction upon seeing Cheng Shi and Lao Zhang was:
"A meeting of clowns?"
Cheng Shi was also taken aback. He looked at the Dragon King in confusion, only to hear Li Jingming laugh:
"I know you're troubled by the [Time] throne, so I've come to ease your worries."
He patted Longjing on the shoulder, pushed Longjing forward a small step, and said, "Isn't this an outstanding believer in [Time]?"
President Gong transcended the barriers of time and space, proving himself through a grand sacrifice, and simultaneously opening the curtain on the pursuit of truth for another world. With such resolute determination, connecting time across different fragmented universes, how could he not be worthy of a throne of [Time]?
"!!!"
"???"
The Dragon King's words left the other three clowns on the scene dumbfounded.
To be honest, it might be an unspoken consensus among the clowns that Longjing should inherit the throne of [Deception], and even Cheng Shi felt that there was no one more suitable than Longjing.
Of course, there was a previous candidate, Zhen Xin, who was definitely the most suitable one. However, Zhen Xin has already succeeded to the throne of [Chaos], which means that Cheng Shi can only choose one more person from the remaining [Deception] believers.
And that person seems to be none other than Longjing.
Longjing thought so too. Although he wasn't particularly satisfied with the outcome of the number one player "leaving" and taking his place, he was willing to accept the role for the sake of Huanyu.
But the Dragon King's proposal today was completely unexpected. Before coming here, the Dragon King only said that he wanted to speed up the succession of the throne, but he never said that he would inherit the throne of [Time]!
Longjing looked at the Dragon King in shock, then at Cheng Shi in astonishment. When he saw the furrowed brow on Cheng Shi's face, he instantly understood the other's worries:
It seems there's no time option left.
Longjing does not reject time; on the contrary, he thinks time is very good because the most glorious moment of his life was crossing the barrier of time and space and connecting the cause and effect of time in two worlds.
Furthermore, he knew that the original [Time] had played a very important role in the process of saving the world, just as important as him, the one who revealed the truth of the universe. Therefore, he had no objection to inheriting [Time].
But the key question is, who will fill the vacant throne of deception?
Old Zhang?
Longjing looked at Lao Zhang, and just by looking at the fishbone hall behind him, he knew that Lao Zhang had inherited [Death], so there was only one Doctor left among the clowns.
But the Doctor still needs to inherit the throne of [Truth]... Looking at it this way, it seems that there is only one way left, which is to let Zhen Xin choose a new successor of [Chaos] to hand over the throne of [Chaos], and then return to the path of [Deception].
Cheng Shi had also thought of this.
From the moment he heard the Dragon King's words, he understood that the Dragon King's arrival was not just to recommend a candidate for "Time." The other party must have found a suitable candidate for "deception" to push Longjing towards "Time."
The only new form of deception that could gain the Dragon King's approval is undoubtedly Zhen Xin.
However, this involves a very crucial issue: it was not Cheng Shi's idea to have Zhen Xin succeed [Chaos]; it was also the will of [Deception]!
Indeed, in that confrontation that exposed the true nature of [Chaos], Zhen Xin could not have inherited the throne of [Chaos] so smoothly without the support of [Deception]. It was He who returned everything to [Chaos] at the crucial moment and pushed His followers up.
