A true "god" throne

It was a dark tunnel carved into the wall of the morgue.

Only after bypassing the pile of gods' corpses at the very front can one discover a gap behind it, where colorful glimmers flicker and bizarre mists swirl. This scene seems so out of place in the black and white scroll filled with the gods' corpses.

Shadow Cheng Shi dared not go any further, for there was no longer a shadow ahead to hide in.

Taking a step forward meant exposing himself to this dazzling light, and he repeatedly asked himself if the risk was worth it.

Cheng Shi was also conflicted. Although he kept telling himself that if there was really danger, he would have died long ago, he still had to wonder if the source of this strange sound was a trap, like the [Silence] corpses floating in the True Universe.

There was nothing wrong at first, but I insisted on going to take a look, and then problems arose.

The Destiny Also Has Divergent Paths has not yet cooled completely. To ensure his own safety, the Faith in [Destiny] resides within his very being. This means that if danger arises, the Shadow Cheng Shi, burdened by [Deception], has virtually no choice but to sit and wait for death...

Etc!

He can turn into mist!

Cheng Shi suddenly perked up. The dark passage ahead was shrouded in mist, and the [Deception] that had been fused with [Chaos] could somehow blend into the mist. Could this be his only way to break the deadlock?

Cheng Shi moment's thought, Shadow Cheng Shi transformed into smoke and merged into the mist, looking inside from an omniscient perspective.

And upon looking, he witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.

At the end of the deep, mysterious passage lay a hidden world. Passing through the passage, in a space filled with colorful mist, a huge Divine Throne stood diagonally.

The Divine Throne resembled two triangular pieces joined at their tips, fragmented and riddled with cracks. Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was not a single, complete Divine Throne broken apart, but rather a colossal, terrifying chair pieced together from countless miscellaneous fragments of the gods' corpses.

This is a true "god's" throne!

And in the gap beneath the seat, thick, bizarre mist swirled and rubbed against the Divine Throne, producing a sound that was both teeth-grinding and terrifying.

"The gods... vanished, the Cosmos... collapsed, this is... [the Origin]..."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi was shocked. He thought there was a survivor hiding inside, but he never expected that the sound would come from the sound of lifeless things as the mist flowed through the cracks in the Divine Throne!

The sound varied in volume, mechanical and repetitive. When it was low, it was inaudible even when one was close to the Divine Throne, while when it was high, it could only be heard up to the end of the passage.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Shi frowned, guessing that the Spatial Ripple caused by the three people's rapid descent affected the airflow speed of the fog here, which was why they could hear the mournful cries of the dead creatures coming from outside the passage!

But this is certainly not an accident.

Regardless of how this Divine Throne was pieced together, the fact that the colorful mist passing through the gaps in the Divine Throne could produce understandable syllables is absolutely not a coincidence of a corpse falling and being pieced together.

Therefore, someone must have deliberately assembled this Divine Throne and placed it here.

But who could that person be?

Cheng Shi couldn't guess. Rather than trying to figure out who had pieced together this Divine Throne, observing the present was clearly more meaningful.

With his mind overloaded, Cheng Shi only circled the Divine Throne twice before discovering the clue.

The materials for the "corpse fragments" on this Divine Throne are very "complete". The corresponding parts of all the gods' corpses in the mortuary can be found on the Divine Throne, except for [Filth and Decay] and [Destiny].

There were several openwork sections on the back of the Divine Throne. After observing them carefully for a moment, Cheng Shi deduced from the patterns on the body parts that this should be a "semi-finished product".

These hollowed-out areas should have been filled with some materials, but Cheng Shi searched the entire space and couldn't find any other body parts that could be pieced together to form this Divine Throne.

At first he was puzzled, but he soon figured out why.

Because the missing materials are not available here.

This is probably a blank space left for [Filth and Decay] and [Destiny]!

And coincidentally, it was precisely these hollowed-out sections, combined with the gaps between the fragments of the Divine Throne, that allowed the mist to produce different syllables as it passed through.

The multicolored mist permeating the space was none other than the twisted corpse of [Chaos] after death...

The [Chaos] corpses outside were scattered and difficult to identify; Cheng Shi could only find a few through the resonance of Faith, while here, a large amount of [Chaos] permeated the air.

Clearly, their ability to gather in one place is inextricably linked to the piecing together of this Divine Throne.

Who exactly orchestrated all of this?

Cheng Shi listened to the sound repeatedly, trying to decipher its deeper meaning, but he could never quite grasp it.

His understanding and knowledge of [Origin] was still too limited.

Time passed quietly, and when Cheng Shi realized that he could no longer find any useful information in this space, he finally decided to retreat.

If this drags on any longer, the Big Cat might go crazy.

But if you stay there for a long time and gain nothing, is that worth the risk you took?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi gritted his teeth... and looked at the only "useful" thing in front of him— the Divine Throne!

However, the Divine Throne was too large, and the complete Divine Throne could not fit into his personal space. Helpless, Cheng Shi could only try to see if he could disassemble it along the gaps and take it away.

It turns out that it really works!

The seemingly sturdy Divine Throne shattered at the slightest touch. Cheng Shi Divine Throne it into jigsaw puzzle pieces with minimal effort and stuffed them all into his personal space.

After doing all this, he didn't linger for a second longer. He immediately left the area, merged back into his original body, snapped his fingers, and returned to the Pig Bridge.

He was eager to share what he had seen and learned with Hong Lin and Qin Xin, but he never expected that as soon as he appeared, he would be greeted not with Big Cat's hug, but with an iron fist!

The enraged Giant Bear slammed Cheng Shi onto the bridge with a single punch. Tears welled in her eyes as she gripped Cheng Shi's shoulders and roared furiously:

"Fraud!

You liar!

As she spoke, she punched Cheng Shi on the side of the head again, making the entire Pig Bridge vibrate loudly.

Cheng Shi saw stars, shook his head, opened his half-swollen eyes and looked at the "wronged" Hong Lin, then instantly grinned.

He didn't blame the Big Cat for being angry; he knew his actions were indeed risky.

But wasn't that punch a bit too heavy?

Cheng Shi coughed and laughed halfway through:

"I didn't die in the Gods’ Graveyard, but I almost got killed by you."

Hong Lin was taken aback, not expecting Cheng Shi to dare to joke. She glared at him angrily, as if to hit him again, but Cheng Shi immediately said:

"But I'm a liar."

"..."

Hong Lin's fist froze in mid-air. The joy of reunion eventually overshadowed her fear after the anger subsided. She gritted her teeth and looked at Cheng Shi, wanting to say something, but all the words turned into silence.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi turned his head again, looked at Qin Xin who was still shaken, and said with a sneer:

"Besides, you were the ones who abandoned me, so how is this my fault?"

"..."

There was silence in the room. After a few seconds, Qin Xin bowed deeply and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't do better at that time."

No way, no way...

Cheng Shi had no reason to blame Qin Xin; on the contrary, Qin Xin had brought his friend out of danger, and Cheng Shi was grateful to him.

But Old Qin, someone has to take the blame for this and shift the blame away from Big Cat.

So Cheng Shi suppressed a laugh, turned his head away, and stammered with half his face swollen:

"I won't accept it, unless... Hong Lin also punches him, no, he gets a beating!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Giant Bear in front of Cheng Shi disappeared, and then he heard the sound of fists hitting flesh.

"Bang--Bang--Bang--"

The Big Cat's attacks were extremely fierce, while Qin Xin, who was being beaten, silently endured the blows without uttering a sound.

Cheng Shi looked up slightly and saw that the Giant Bear was sweating profusely, so he knew that the Big Cat really wanted to beat up Qin Xin.

That's right. In her mind, death isn't scary; what's scary is abandoning a friend and letting them die.

Even if the Big Cat was terrified at that time, she would not have abandoned Cheng Shi subconsciously. However, because Qin Xin saved her, she could not say anything. But now that she had a reason to take action, she naturally wanted to vent her fear.

Well, now there are two pig heads on the Pig Bridge.

Cheng Shi got up, looked at Qin Xin, which was as big as a pig, and laughed heartily. But after Hong Lin glared back angrily, he shuddered. Then he stopped laughing and looked at the two of them solemnly:

"Sorry."

This apology was sincere.

Upon hearing the word "I'm sorry," Hong Lin stopped what she was doing, and Qin Xin laughed out loud.

They both turned to look at Cheng Shi, and just as they were about to say something, they heard the seemingly upright swindler apologize again:

"You'll dare to do it again next time."

"..."

"..."

"Because time waits for no one, and opportunities only come once!"
