The Fool of the Gods

To be honest, he was not reluctant to give it up.

As a walker of [nothingness], he did not need to comprehend [life], not to mention that in his opinion, this [divinity] did not belong to him.

This was his promise to Mr. Cui, and also the proof of Mr. Cui's uprightness.

Cheng Shi had never regarded it as a kind of power, but only regarded it as a souvenir of his witnessing the "light of humanity".

But now, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with using this [divinity of prosperity] here.

Because of Cui Qiushi, because of the fire-transmitters!

The World Tree has never blossomed and borne fruit, which means that the various effects of the Whispering Petals in history are all speculations of later generations.

But even if it is speculation, the fire-transmitters who are in a crisis of trust also need a petal like this to stabilize their morale.

Therefore, handing over this [divinity] in exchange for the ripening of the conjugated whisper and a real Whispering Petal is the best explanation for Cheng Shi to the fire-transmitters who summoned him.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Cui's kindness was finally repaid by Cui Qiushi.

Cheng Shi looked at the great scholar, then at the conjugate whisper behind him, and after feeling all kinds of emotions in his heart, he decisively made his own choice.

"What do I need to do?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Kewei's eyes.

"Young man, you don't need to do anything.

I still have some ability to take out the [prosperity] in your body.

You just need to relax your body and don't resist, and I can catalyze the conjugate whisper in the shortest time, so that it...

can really mature!"

It's not a lie.

There's no need to lie.

Cheng Shi had already seen that this great scholar had already given everything to this experiment.

Apart from the experimental results, he didn't care about anything else.

"It's okay, but...

I have conditions."

It was time for Cheng Shi to bargain again. He looked at the great scholar with burning eyes, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he directly offered his price.

"You can use the [Prosperity Divine] in my body, but before the fruit is produced, I need you to keep two..." He suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his words, "All the petals of the Conjugate Whisper that have not withered!"

Since the World Tree has never bloomed and borne fruit, the record of only two petals in the historical materials must be false.

In this case, since you are here, what's wrong with asking for more?

It's not like you didn't pay.

Kwei was slightly stunned, and said hesitantly:

"The Conjugate Whisper is not a plant in the common cognition of humans. Although according to our inference, it will indeed self-fertilize and bear fruit, but we have no way of knowing whether picking its petals will affect its fruiting.

So, for the birth of the fruit, I can't guarantee your needs...

But if the Whispering Tree blooms enough flowers, it should not be difficult.

So..."

The scholar's meaning was very clear, he was not sure to give Cheng Shi what he wanted.

Cheng Shi frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he had to accept that Kwei's promise was not a promise.

Because he had no choice.

[Destiny] and [Truth] were probably waiting for this moment.

"Okay, I know." His answer was concise, "Let's do it, save time."

"Thank you, thank you, the Department of Void Matter and Energy will remember you, the Tower of Matter will remember you, and history will remember you!"

The scholar nodded fiercely, his body trembling slightly because of excitement.

Remember?

It's better not to remember.

Cheng Shi smiled, relaxed his body, and spread his hands.

Seeing him like this, the scholar also moved.

He stretched out a hand and pointed it in the air. The reality quietly faded where his fingertips touched, and countless void cracks appeared before his eyes.

In these large and small void cracks, densely packed tree roots are intertwined, and the light of [nothingness] and [existence] entangled flows on them, which is both dark and colorful.

Under Kwei's urging, countless tiny roots "climbed" out of the void cracks and stretched towards Cheng Shi.

And Cheng Shi just watched the roots quickly pierce into his body, motionless.

It's not that he lost his vigilance, but he found that the conjugate whispering roots actually resonated weakly with him.

Just like the feeling of jumping into [Laughter and Mockery], the moment the roots pierced into his body, Cheng Shi felt that he was home again.

"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, they won't absorb your life force.

They are just hungry, smell the scent of [prosperity], and are eager to have a full meal.

You know, when the conjugate whispering tree was first planted, it was catalyzed by [prosperity divinity].

Perhaps, they smelled the 'Mother's taste, so I can't wait a little longer."

"......"

The [divinity] of [prosperity] is decreasing.

The giant tree is really absorbing them, and as the roots are eating, the branches and leaves of Conjugate Whispering begin to sway slightly.

They become greener and more vibrant.

The glass curtain wall seems to be imposed with a set of high-saturation filters, making the entire laboratory green.

But even so, Cheng Shi still hasn't found a flower, not even a bud, on the visible branches of the giant tree.

The great scholar is also puzzled.

Because after a few minutes of absorbing, there is not much [divinity] left in Cheng Shi's body.

"Great scholar...are you sure it will only mature in half a year?"

"Yes!

I'm sure!

We have measured the growth rate of Conjugate Whispering countless times and continuously fitted its growth curve.

This curve has begun to converge decades ago and is getting closer to the peak position.

After generations of continuous argumentation, we are very sure that it will mature soon, and in half a year! "

"Then how can you be sure that this Conjugate Whisper will bloom and bear fruit?

After all, as you said, it is not a plant in the ordinary cognition of humans, and the saying that it is self-evident is just your guess!"

Kwei said with a firm look:

"【Birth】!

Because the Conjugate Whisper tree species was created by borrowing His power!

He combines yin and yang and advocates reproduction. All His creations will definitely give birth to new life.

And this point has also been verified in the 【Birth】 experiment of the ancestors of the Tower of Logic.

So, it will definitely bloom and bear fruit. "

"But it didn't!

And the 【divinity】 in my body will be empty. ”

The great scholar had seen it. Sweat broke out on his forehead. He flipped through the experimental data in his hand page after page, as if looking for something wrong.

Cheng Shi sucked his teeth with a constipated look on his face. He wanted to ask another question:

“Do you think it is possible that the reflection in the void is the newborn of the World Tree?

Or, the World Tree is the newborn of the Whisper of the Void?

Who said that the newborn must be the next generation?

What if they... grow up together? "

The more Cheng Shi thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Not long after, his face turned extremely ugly.

It's over. The experiment that the scholars of the Tower of Principle and Nature have been holding on to for five hundred years may just be a joke...

No wonder the benefactor has waited for more than five hundred years without breaking through the high wall of true knowledge to take a look.

It is far more fun to interrupt the fun of this long experiment than to laugh when these scholars are looking forward to the results but nothing comes.

He seemed to have heard the faint laughter of [fraud] coming from the cracks in the void.

The faint "hi" sound began to echo in Cheng Shi's soul.

"..."

"How could this happen? How could this happen?

Why didn't it bloom!

Why didn't it bear fruit! ?

[Birth] is not wrong, [Truth] is not wrong, reality is not wrong, experimental data is not wrong!

Why! ?

Why on earth? ? "

Cheng Shi's expression was indescribable.

They were indeed not wrong, because you were wrong...

He looked at Kewei with a little sympathy, not knowing how to comfort this poor man with red eyes and trembling body.

"Great scholar...

The [divinity] of [prosperity] has been eaten up. "

...
