Just how important was Fool's Game?
It's certainly possible, but this is far too alarming.
Hu Wei there stunned, while Zhen Xin continued in a low voice:
"Speaking of which, I met Cheng Shi from Another World a long time ago. I heard the name [Origin] from him."
At that time, he was like the God of Merriment who bestowed this Trials upon us, and he also held some hope for the Cheng Shi of our world, coupled with the watchful gaze of [Destiny] upon him...
It's not hard to imagine that Cheng Shi is the answer that [Nothingness] seeks in this era or in this game.
The Creator, high above, orchestrated a cosmic Slice Experiment incomprehensible to Mortals. This Experiment must have had a purpose, but what that purpose was remains unknown. Analyzing the actions of the two gods, [Nothingness] and [Nothingness], is it possible that the Experiment result desired by [Origin] is related to Cheng Shi?
I don't mean Cheng Shi particular, but rather that the Cheng Shi of our world caught the gaze of [Nothingness] and happened to become that person.
After receiving a massive amount of information, ordinary people find it difficult to immediately shift their perspective and elevate their vision to the level of the True Universe and the Creator. Even Hu Wei fell silent for a moment, as he urgently needed to sort out the meaning of the existence of this world.
But Wei Mu was different. He seemed to have guessed it all along, but all his guesses lacked evidence. And today, the evidence has arrived.
Perhaps it can't be called evidence, but rather one person's one-sided perspective being filled in by other one-sided perspectives, making their rootless conjectures seem more solid.
The Puppet nodded, piecing together everything he knew, and after a short while, calmly analyzed:
"My Lord lost His Divine Authority. I have always wondered why He lost His Divine Authority. Now it seems that it is very likely because He saw through the origin of [Deception] and thus learned the truth of the True Universe. As a result, He was tricked by [Deception] and His Divine Authority was taken away."
An outsider [Deception] must be more knowledgeable about the True Universe than the 'domesticated' [Folly], so my Lord was deceived.
But they weren't the only ones deceived; every deity who could potentially stop the [Deception] plan was fooled!
[Folly], [Time], [Memory]...
[Deception] has broken down the barriers between worlds, to the point that [Time] has been 'trapped' in the 'time' of the True Universe in order to preserve [Existence];
[Memory], in order to prevent the Cosmos's Memory from being confused, and in order to keep all [Existence] as it is, actively forgot this Memory, or perhaps had some gods forget this Memory together.
The key to unlocking this Memory may very well be hidden inside the Mask of Fool's Game!
Shouldn't He have a Mask?
Just like the Tongue of Lies in Zhen Yi's hand back then, and the terrifying Legend of Sandlais's Ear of Secret Prying... they must all be part of that Mask?"
"..."
After hearing this, Zhen Xin couldn't help but remain silent.
What Wei Mu said was as if he had overheard a gathering of Clown, gradually revealing to her the secrets that the Clowns had never shared before.
This can't really be considered "leaking secrets," can it?
What's the point of not releasing it if it can be released?
The Puppet continues, so the gods are passively divided into two camps due to the 'invasion' of external [Deception]: one is the 'Foolish Deed God' who is kept in the dark and has no idea what is happening; the other is the 'Foolish Deed God' who once knew everything but has quietly forgotten it, and attempts to restore order and ensure the normal functioning of the world...
Of course, there might be another one, which is [Deception] oneself.
He wove countless lies to integrate himself into this world, with the ultimate goal of taking away Fool's Game.
So I was wrong before. The will of [Nothingness] is not contradictory. [Deception] created all of this just to separate the Fool's Game from the original world!
It turns out that the answer to the world is not given by [Deception], but by [Destiny]. [Deception] values the answer from [Destiny]!
Does this mean that He already knew the purpose of the Creator's Experiment?
Perhaps His original world was only one step away from ultimate success, but because Cheng Shi fell at the door of success, He had no choice but to make this decision.
But what was the Creator's purpose?
Halfway through the race, Wei Mu let out a sigh.
"Not enough.
With too little information, it's impossible to make any valid predictions. A frog in a well might get lucky enough to see the bright moon, but it will never be able to embrace the truly vast sky.
Standing here is our limit. What the True Universe is really like is something that only those who have been there can know.
To understand why the Fool's Game is the answer, and to understand the Creator's true purpose, one can only ask the Fool's Game itself.
Magician, it's your performance time again. How you can extract True Universe insights from the Fool's Game without raising suspicion will perhaps determine the direction this performance will take.
Of course, if we don't delve into the will of the Creator and only look at the present facts, then the [Nothingness] will from different worlds has already told us:
The answer to the Fool's Game is the answer to the game, and most likely the answer to this Creator's Experiment!
To 'win' in the many Slice Universe, to survive in this grand Experiment, there is only one way: preserve the Fool's Game.
We must not let [Deception] take Him away!
The good news is that Fool's Game have become wary of [Deception].
The bad news is that we can never predict a Deception, and since He makes us aware of these things, He is naturally not afraid of our efforts to combat them.
It seems this Finale Performance is a battle for the Clown, between Morning Cheer and Dusk Play...
The Puppet paused for a moment, then spoke in a strange tone, suddenly offering a suggestion that shocked the two people present.
"Do we really have to choose Dusk Play?"
"???"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Xin's gaze towards Wei Mu instantly changed.
Even Hu Wei instinctively gripped the giant sword, his brows furrowed as he stared intently at the Puppet.
Feeling the pressure from the two people in front of him, the Puppet smiled brightly.
Just kidding.
The atmosphere was too heavy, which was not conducive to thinking.
I am rational, but that doesn't mean I have no feelings for this world.
Relax, I won't be a traitor.
"..." Hu Wei's face twitched twice, but he couldn't manage a smile.
Zhen Xin rolled her eyes in exasperation and said quietly:
You can't fool them.
The identity of Fool's Game bestowed upon him by the God of Merriment has already confirmed his talent in the path of [Deception].
When Cheng Shi realized we hadn't been able to bring Flord back quickly, based on his understanding of me and the Grand Marshal... he probably already guessed what was going on.
We can return to the Trials, but we must bring back a solution; otherwise, the moment we encounter him again may very well be the end of the world.
Cheng Shi is a sentimental person; he will definitely choose Dusk Play. What I fear most now is that the Dusk Play I understand isn't Dusk Play at all, but rather Morning Cheer Dusk Play...
Just like you said, God of Merriment dared to let us know these things, so naturally he's not afraid of us causing trouble.
But the more this is the case, the more we must disrupt the ending He wrote for the Fool's Game; this is not only to protect the Fool's Game, but also to protect ourselves.
Zhen Xin's gaze was unusually firm, which Wei Mu found slightly respectful. "You care a lot about this world."
Because there are people in this world I care about.
Zhen Xin told herself that whether it was the her in the present moment or the her in Another World, it was still the same.
