Gods' Graveyard

If witnessing the mass annihilation of [War] was the most terrifying scene Hong Lin had ever experienced, then everything that was happening now was undoubtedly challenging the Druid's bottom line of fear.

It's important to understand that viewing from afar and viewing up close are completely different experiences. When Hong Lin saw countless gods inexplicably collapsing here, the fear of the Apocalypse Cosmos almost crushed Hong Lin nerves.

She became somewhat numb, and even thought she was hallucinating.

The Cheng Shi.

When he realized what was in front of him, his instinctive reaction was to snap his fingers and get out of there as quickly as possible!

This time, however, his body reacted to fear even faster than his brain; his convulsing hands trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't even have the strength to snap his fingers.

[War] Qin Xin, who held Divine Authority, was the one who stood the straightest, but that was all.

Of the three, he was the only one who hadn't witnessed [War]' s demise in the True Universe, and this scene before him completely made up for his "regret."

Although he never had such regrets.

This feeling is devastating, like someone who has just gained extraordinary power beyond the reach of Mortals and is about to make a name for themselves, only to find that the life that once possessed this power has long since perished in some unknown corner.

And it wasn't just one, it was a whole group!

All that could be seen in the starless Starry Sky, resembling a crater of corpses, was:

Tentacles withered like dead vines covered the ground, green crowns of Vitality were cut off, and giant skulls were piled up like chairs. [Life] no longer continued.

The Radiant Balance are rusted and dimmed, the Starry Tome of Knowledge is scattered and broken, the Crimson Flame have died down, leaving only blood rain; [Civilization] can no longer continue.

And those Rotten Wood wooden bodies shattered, their collapsed pupils stiffened, their White Miasma eyes rolled like sand, Silent Puppets fell together, their halberds broken... [Sinking], [Chaos], were also unavoidable.

Memory shattered and fragmented, time twisted and contorted, starlight lost its color, the spiral disintegration ceased...

Those once high and mighty gods have now become the most worthless things in this space. Their Divine Power has dissipated, their corpses are scattered all over the ground, and they didn't even utter a cry before they died. They just An Jing welcomed their own end.

The scattered light of Divine Authority passed through the three people's bodies. Cheng Shi suppressed his fear and stretched out his trembling hand, feeling these unclaimed Divine Authority pass through his palm and continue to fall downwards. For a moment, he was in a daze.

This is Divine Authority, the most precious thing in the Cosmos, the proof that the Creator Naming the True God, but now it's like a hazy, illusory drizzle, drifting away unnoticed.

As the First fear faded with time, and the initial shock subsided with adaptation, the three finally came to their senses. They looked at each other, barely able to make out each other's faces, only seeing the helpless shock and distorted fear in each other's eyes.

"This is..."

Hong Lin spoke first, but the next second she covered her mouth in even greater terror.

Even the death of a god is silent and unnoticed; how dare a Mortals speak so loudly!

Fortunately, the Starry Sky remained silent; no one, no one should be said, no god noticed their existence, nor would any god notice their existence.

They are all dead.

Cheng Shi's gaze slowly focused. He took out the [Filth and Decay] Vessel again and absorbed the fear of the three people. Seeing that there seemed to be no danger here, he began to observe carefully.

Once you set aside your fears, everything here becomes very clear.

The gods who fell like rain did not die in this Starry Sky; they died before they even arrived Starry Sky.

This place is more like a burial Corpse Field for gods, no, it should be called a mass grave, where gods from various worlds are buried.

Watching the rain of corpses continuously disintegrate, Cheng Shi even wondered if this was the final resting place for all the gods who died in the Creator's Experiment?

Otherwise, how can we explain this enormous, countless number?

Cheng Shi frowned, looking at the Chaos White Miasma eyes falling in the distance. Without even realizing it, he blurted out:

"Is this the answer to your Foolish Deed, [Folly]?"

"..."

The other two glanced at Cheng Shi, and even with the Vessel absorbing their emotions, a strange feeling welled up inside them.

However, they ignored Cheng Shi. The opportunity was rare, and no one knew how this "time travel" accident had happened. But since they had discovered this place, they naturally wanted to find out more.

The search for the [Silence] corpse was also for information; there was clearly more information here. Thus, the only three living beings in this Starry Sky began their search through the Gods’ Graveyard.

This search Cheng Shi to discover some truly remarkable things.

This place is a vast sea of corpses; you can find the remains of any god, but two are missing.

One is [Filth and Decay], the other is [Destiny]!

Even in Deception, one can see the broken, tightly closed Starry Eyes under this Starry Sky.

To be honest, when Cheng Shi first saw God of Merriment's "corpse," the fear and shock in his heart were so great that even the Vessel could not absorb it all.

The remains of [Deception] are not as material as those of other gods. Just like the disordered memory field caused by the death of [Memory] and the distorted time left behind by the death of [Time], the dead [Deception] is like a painting of eternally faded stars hanging in the sky.

The stars had all dimmed, and only their broken outlines revealed that they had once gathered into a vortex.

They fell frozen in time, like pieces of the Starry Sky collapsing. This scene was more beautiful than the fall of all the gods, but it was hard to find anyone who could appreciate it or even smile.

Even though He once represented joy and smiles.

However, Cheng Shi, whose emotions had been drained, did not dwell excessively on his fear. He continued to search through the Corpse Field, but he was unable to find the bodies of [Filth and Decay] and [Destiny].

He shared this discovery with the other two, which resulted in shock from Big Cat and confusion from Qin Xin.

Qin Xin frowned and asked, "Since [Deception] is exactly the same as [Destiny], how can you be sure that those clusters of falling stars are [Deception] and not [Destiny]?"

"Divine Authority," Cheng Shi said with a serious expression, "I feel the Divine Authority falling from it. Although this Divine Authority is useless to me, I can resonate with the 'laughter' in it whenever Divine Authority passes by me."

He was clearly dead, yet he was still laughing...

I don't think [Destiny] would be like this, so I think those faded, fallen stars were all [Deception]."

Qin Xin nodded, clearly agreeing with this statement.

"[Destiny] at least leaves traces; if you don't find it, you just don't find it."

What about [Filth and Decay]...?

I haven't observed even the slightest image of the Sea of Desire, nor have I found anything that could trigger the waves of desire within me. Cheng Shi, is it possible that what you have in your hand has influenced our observation of desire?

To be more precise, why don't we remove that thing and try again?

These words awakened Cheng Shi. He quickly put away the [Filth and Decay] Vessel, letting his chaotic emotions surge back, and suppressed his fear as he searched again.

However, this time, the three of them still found nothing.

[Filth and Decay] left no trace here.

Faced with this fact, a bold guess suddenly arose in Hong Lin's mind.

"Since His body couldn't be found in the Filth and Decay grave, does that mean He didn't die?"

She immediately contradicted herself after saying those words.

"That doesn't make sense either. It's impossible that every [Filth and Decay] being in every world didn't die, right?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyes widened in shock.

It must be said that what Hong Lin said is indeed possible.

The problem is that the same reasoning applies to [Destiny]. Since His body is not here, does that mean that the Destiny of every world... has survived?

Doesn't that prove that Destiny's choice is the ultimate truth of the universe, Predestination is the only path to survival?

No, no, no!

Wrong!

After the [War] surged forward, so many worlds were destroyed by the hand of creation, and [Destiny] must have been among them, so why hasn't a single [Destiny] corpse appeared here?

Cheng Shi pondered deeply and realized they might have misunderstood something.

This may not be the final Gods’ Graveyard in the Creator's Experiment, but rather just the gods who died in the True Universe were "thrown" here.

Therefore, there are many gods who come to the True Universe for various purposes, but there are none who Filth and Decay or Destiny!

[Filth and Decay] is not hard to understand, after all, He has never shown His face, so desire will naturally be conveyed.

But what about [Destiny]?

If all of the above is true, it means that even though He knows the True Universe, He has never strayed from His vision. In His own world, He single-mindedly guards His Predestination, never giving up until the world is destroyed!

He was like a terrifying paranoid man, seeing nothing but the Predestination!

Such a mad "Destiny"—can what He insists on truly be the answer to the Cosmos?

Suddenly, Cheng Shi felt a chill run down his spine and a nameless panic gripped him.
