The Blind Man's prophecy

"As you all know, prophecies cannot extend too far into the future, so the scene I foretold is right before our eyes."

The Blind Man pursed his lips and slightly turned his head to "look" in Cheng Shi's direction.

Cheng Shi naturally understood why the Blind Man had the idea of predicting the world. It was not that he had occasional feelings, but that he was truly moved by the incident involving An Mingyu in this world.

But the other party's prediction still made Cheng Shi's heart skip a beat.

Considering the recent frenzy surrounding [Destiny]'s spread of Faith, this behavior did indeed seem like a sign that the world line was heading towards its end. He frowned slightly and then asked:

What did you predict?

Everyone present looked at An Mingyu. The Blind Man clenched his fists tightly, his face full of worry, and said:

I asked Him if the world was heading towards collapse.

His answer was... yes, one hundred percent!

The laughter and merriment vanished instantly, and everyone's expression turned solemn. Li Wufang and Tao Yi were unaware of the affairs of the gods and did not understand the oppressive feeling in the Blind Man's prophecy. However, Hong Lin had not only experienced a real collapse of the Cosmos, but had also just witnessed a near-collapse of the Cosmos, so she knew very well how terrifying the future the Blind Man had predicted could be.

What's even more frightening is that a new collapse could happen within days!

If the world were to be destroyed again, would anyone be there to save it?

Hong Lin's gaze first swept over the little fox, her expression inexplicably as if she had remembered something, before she looked directly at Cheng Shi. She felt that if anyone could stop the collapse of the world or save it, that person must be, and could only be, Cheng Shi.

But if no one can save the world, then Cheng Shi's role in saving the world must be indispensable.

After experiencing countless moments of awe alongside Cheng Shi, this Fate Weaver has become the key in Hong Lin's eyes. Even if there is no road ahead, he can push open a brand new door from the side of the road and lead his friends to walk a new path.

Therefore, if Hong Lin could hear what Chen Shu said, she would definitely agree: Cheng Shi is the solution to this world!

Cheng Shi was naturally unaware that Big Cat had such high expectations of him, but at this moment he was thinking the same thing as Big Cat, he also thought of the [Annihilation] will that he had just experienced.

So he raised an eyebrow and asked:

"An the Chosen, when did you make this prophecy?"

An Mingyu was taken aback, then recalled, "Yesterday evening, I didn't sleep a wink. I wanted to discuss it with Xin Xin, but I received a call from Hong Lin first, so I thought I'd discuss it with you guys first."

"Yesterday..." Cheng Shi tapped his fingers lightly on the table, seemingly lost in thought, "So, your prophecy occurred before the Gods' Covenant Assembly?"

"The Gods' Covenant Assembly? What's that?" The people present looked at each other, seemingly having never heard of such a thing before.

Only the Big Cat understood Cheng Shi's meaning, and a look of joy appeared on its face. Suddenly, it slammed its hand on the table and echoed:

"You mean Mingyu's prophecy actually refers to [annihilation...]?"

Hong Lin froze halfway through her sentence. Although she knew Cheng Shi was going to confront his the Fated, she wasn't sure what she should and shouldn't say, so she simply kept quiet.

Cheng Shi smiled indifferently and nodded, saying:

"You may not have heard of the Gods' Covenant Assembly, because it is not a gathering that Mortals can participate in. It is a meeting where the gods exercise their rights in the [Covenant] to make final decisions on matters of the Cosmos. Only gods, true gods, can participate."

Even those who are Subgod Assembly need the True God as their guarantor.

Earlier today, the Gods' Covenant Assembly just concluded in the Void.

[Annihilation]... After losing his Divine Throne, his will erupted and he went mad, attempting to drag the Cosmos down with him. He wanted to Annihilation the entire Cosmos, which is what An the Chosen about the collapse of the world.

But His madness was thwarted by the gods, and our Lord of Grace [Destiny] is also one of the contributors to 'saving' this world.

So you see, the final chapter of the play didn't come, and the Fated was fine.

Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?

You guys don't think I attended the meeting, do you?

I've already said that even attending a meeting of Subgod requires the permission of the True God, let alone for me, a Mortals.

But you guessed right, the reason I know so much is because someone among us did indeed attend, but that person wasn't me, it was...

Cheng Shi's lips curled into a smile as he looked at the Big Cat, "... Hong Lin!"

"?????"

Big Cat never dreamed that Cheng Shi- called showdown would actually involve revealing her, the cat, first!

Seeing everyone staring at her in shock, she was interrupted by Cheng Shi's rapid-fire words before she could even explain.

"However, this statement is still problematic. Hong Lin did not participate as an observer, nor did she participate as a 'human.' She was one of the main characters in this the Gods' Covenant Assembly, and one of the True God sitting on the Sixteen Divine Thrones!"

You heard me right.

Hong Lin is no longer human.

She is a god!

"!!!"

The bewildered Big Cat was too preoccupied to think about Cheng Shi was secretly criticizing her. She didn't know whether she should play along with him and pretend to be True God, or explain that she wasn't actually True God yet, but merely a candidate for godhood.

Just as she was swaying back and forth, An Mingyu couldn't sit still any longer. She suddenly froze, realizing something, and blurted out, "[Prosperity]?"

Big Cat's heart tightened, knowing there was no way to avoid it, so he immediately sat up straight, put his hands back on the table in a serious manner, and nodded solemnly to An Mingyu.

"That's right, I am the new [Prosperity] Proxy."

Even Tao Yi was confused. The Wood Elf asked in bewilderment, "But didn't you say you were just Proxy of [Prosperity]'s daughter, Flazhol? How did you become [Prosperity] 'A'tu?"

"Don't call me A'tu here!"

"Then... by the True God [Prosperity] above, could you explain something to your confused Believer?"

"..."

Sure enough, letting the little fox get close to Cheng Shi was not a good thing; her words and actions were full of Cheng Shi's flavor.

Just as the two best friends were bickering, Li Wufang, Believer in the concept of Order, was completely bewildered.

He never imagined that a human could break the rules Becoming a Deity, and not Subgod, but one of the sixteen True God!

Yes, he knew that [Prosperity] had fallen, but why would a human be chosen to replace it as a new [Prosperity]?

Could this be the true nature of this game, allowing a player to steal the Divine Throne of the True God?

Or is it that the fall of [Prosperity] is merely a facade, and in reality, it is humanity—no, the Fated— who has set its sights on His Divine Throne, causing its downfall so that it can then seize it!?

If it's the latter, then this the Fated... is truly amazing!

Praise be to [Destiny]!

After the First shock, Li Wufang became excited. He wanted to know all the details of Hong Lin Proxy [Prosperity], but Cheng Shi didn't give him the chance. Taking advantage of a moment when everyone was calming down, he looked at the Blind Man and said:

"Therefore, your prediction was correct. The world did indeed collapse at a certain moment, but the Predestination prevailed over Change. The collapse ended, and your prediction has come true."

An Mingyu felt her mind was in complete chaos. She was still shocked that her friend had already usurped the throne of the gods. Now, the Fate Weaver said that his prophecy had come true. Did that mean that the Cosmos was safe and she no longer needed to worry?

She looked up at Cheng Shi, seeking confirmation. Although Cheng Shi nodded with a smile, his heart was not at peace.

He wasn't actually sure if the Blind Man's prophecy referred to the Annihilation Annihilation Cosmos; it was just that the timing of the two coincided, which was why he comforted the Blind Man in that way.

This Path of Fate Prophet has already suffered enough on the path of [Destiny]. If she continues to worry like this, it's hard to say whether her future path will deviate from the trajectory of [Destiny].

Therefore, Cheng Shi first comforted the other party with the fall of [Annihilation], and then pondered whether this prophecy had actually come true.

It's important to understand that [Annihilation] isn't the only entity capable of causing the Cosmos to collapse. Not to mention the more recent ones, let's not forget there's a Creator sitting in the True Universe!

A casual glance from Him could very well cause the entire world to vanish into thin air!

At this Cheng Shi's biggest worry was whether some unexpected event would attract the attention of that Creator. If the threat truly came from [*He], then with the current "powers" of this Starry Sky, could the God of Merriment and [Time]... withstand it?

Can they reset the world again and escape this calamity, just like last time?

For a moment, Cheng Shi felt a slight heaviness in his heart.
