The Fool of the Gods

"【Destiny】...【Destiny】..."

Avros tapped the table rhythmically, making a clicking sound.

"No wonder my brother can guide me to my own destiny, it turns out this is also your destiny."

"?" Cheng Shishi was really tired of these riddles about destiny. He thought for a moment and said directly, "The first round of information exchange went smoothly. Let's start the second round directly. What I want to know is very simple, just one question, that is... Who is [Origin]?"

Avros paused, then restrained his smile.

When he talked about [Origin], he always sat upright.

"Let's not talk about whether I can answer your question. Even if I can, I can't answer it.

The gods do not have the right to approach [Origin]. If you want to understand [Him], perhaps your benefactor can give you the answer.

Interesting.

I tasted fear and anxiety in your emotions. You repeatedly asked me about the times. Are you afraid of the end of the [Nothingness] era?"

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank. He rarely avoided Avros's scrutiny, but looked directly into those charming eyes and nodded stiffly:

"Yes."

"Fear is a good medicine for catalyzing [Depravity].

I guessed what you are afraid of. Although I can't answer your question, I can tell you a little bit of my guess.

According to the experience of the previous eras, this era...

will most likely end in a universe of [Nothingness].

In other words, everything will cease to exist until the next era arrives!"

Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan both stared at each other.

"There is another era?"

"Why not? When I died in the first era, I never thought that I could be born in the second era.

Of course, if you want to remember the memories of the previous era like me, then you have to work hard. At least, you have to become like this Eternal Sun, so that you can...

preserve your memory in the overturn of the era."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi suddenly had a glimmer of enlightenment!

He connected all the information he knew about them and thought of an extremely bold but somewhat reasonable speculation.

That is, the gods seem to be following the [torrent of the times]!

Because Avros guessed that the era of [nothingness] would eventually return to nothingness, and [fate] was sure that its own path was set, and even vaguely revealed a scene of foreseeing a future tragedy...It can be seen that He is inclined to complete this era.

Not only Him, other gods also did not seem to be too opposed to the end of the era of [nothingness]. They just tried various means of faith integration in this era.

Perhaps they signed the [Covenant] and pursued to become an omnipotent God just to keep up with this "era" that constantly ends and restarts?

Just as Avros said, since becoming a subordinate God can preserve memories in the ebb and flow of the times, does that mean that becoming a higher being can preserve more things?

So, what can the true God preserve? Authority?

What about the higher God, the omnipotent God!

Is this... their goal?

And the omnipotent God they pursued is very likely the [Origin] mentioned by Avros!

So, it was [*Him] who created all this?

Destiny, era, time... Is all of this created by this so-called omnipotent God?

Then what is [*Him] doing?

If these speculations are true... then what does the God of Fun, who disagrees with [Fate], want to do?

Cheng Shi felt his brain buzzing. He suddenly got too many explosive mysteries, so that he didn't know how to expand his thoughts for a moment, and which line to follow to think about these things.

So he was in a strange state with many entanglements. He wanted to force himself to think deeply about the essence of [Him], but he knew that it was meaningless to think about these things at this time, so he might as well give up first. However, the attraction of the truth of the universe was pulling him inexplicably, as if an invisible giant hand had opened his head and was rearranging his brain.

This indescribable feeling made his consciousness suddenly become erratic. For a while, his pupils became dilated, cold sweats broke out frequently, his limbs became numb, and he fell into stiffness.

Hu Xuan frowned slightly when she noticed Cheng Shi's abnormality. She glanced at Avros. After confirming that it was not the hands and feet of this [Filthy] Order, she decisively took action and saved Cheng Shi.

This actionThe method was very simple, but extremely effective.

She stood up, leaned over the table, slowly held Cheng Shi's hand, and then said with her red lips:

"Come."

With just this one word, Cheng Shi, who was in a state of madness, suddenly woke up, and his pupils shrank and he hid back.

The force of the retreat was so fierce that he sat down on the chair directly, and fell on the ground with his back.

He sweated more, but he was awake at least.

He first looked at Hu Xuan's hand in shock, then blinked quickly at his own hand, and then wiped the cold sweat on his face with trembling, panting with lingering fear:

"Thank... Thank you."

Hu Xuan lay on the long table, with a charming posture, and there was a hint of teasing in her eyes when she looked at Cheng Shi.

"It was almost, what a pity, it was almost my turn to thank you."

"..."

Sister, please spare me.

Cheng Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly. He knew that Hu Xuan was trying to adjust the atmosphere. Without his consent, this friend... probably wouldn't get pregnant with his child.

[Birth] is too scary.

Fortunately, fortunately...

He exhaled heavily, and then looked at Avros with a serious face, only to see that the other party was laughing at him with narrowed eyes.

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that it was not because of his "hysteria", but...

"This is why you don't want to talk to me too much about [Him], right?" Cheng Shi asked solemnly.

Avros laughed:

"I have never misjudged you, my brother, you are very smart.

If I don't let you experience it firsthand, perhaps with your temperament, you will really regard the existence of [Him] as a piece of information for exchange."

As he spoke, Avros's face became serious.

"Remember, not everything can be mentioned casually.

Don't talk about gods unless necessary.

Of course, some gods may not be like gods, but some gods...

I think you already understand."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi really understood, and he had a new understanding of the word [God].

After all, in the past when he was "watched by the gods and blaspheming the gods was like drinking water", he had never felt such a terrifying and strange power.

He examined his body with a serious face, and took a deep breath for a long time before suppressing the panic just now.

"If Hu Xuan hadn't helped me, I would..."

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Avros said with a smile.

"I understand."

Cheng Shi nodded and struggled to stand up from the ground. Just when he was halfway up, two puppet servants behind him supported his arms and helped him stand up.

He quickly changed his expression and smiled and turned back to thank him, but when he turned back, the cold sweat that had just dried up oozed from his forehead again.

Because he found that the two puppets who helped him up were actually familiar people!

"You..."

Avros saw Cheng Shi so surprised and smiled.

"How is it, are you happy, my brother? This is a special surprise I prepared for you.

I can see that you are a person who likes to make friends, so I think you may feel happy to see your old friends again."

"..."

Looking at the two familiar faces in front of him who had just separated not long ago, Cheng Shi laughed in his heart.

I am happy, you big big flower!
