The last straw that broke the Clown? No, a lifeline!

Who could imagine that the power of the [Nothingness] Dominion, who in the past could summon all the gods to support the Cosmos simply by spreading misfortune, could not even cause the collapse of the Void with the power of his self-destruction?

That's right, [Destiny] self-destructed.

That fleeting glimmer of light was like a flash of fire in an invisible hand, extinguished before it could illuminate the surrounding darkness.

He was born into hardship and adversity, but died silently.

Is the power of the Origin Chaos really this terrifying?!

Yes, it is definitely that terrifying!

The countless erased [War] in the True Universe have already proven this point.

But that was the True Universe, a place where people instinctively amplify their emotions and fears. What we see now is Slice Universe, Starry Sky where gods reign supreme.

To suddenly witness the power of the [Origin] beneath this Starry Sky —how could one not feel even greater fear?

Cheng Shi was completely stunned; he was just one straw away from a true breakdown.

[Destiny] was originally His lifeline; half of His self-salvation plan depended on [Destiny]. But who could have imagined that merely having His naked truth torn open by the Outer God [Destiny] and being suppressed in the Void by the power of [Origin], this [Nothingness] Dominion would so Despair choose to self-destruct.

Cheng Shi knew the meaning of [Destiny]; He wanted to drag the Cosmos down so that the Outer God could not succeed.

Ironically, His death did not have the slightest impact on another [Destiny], but merely left that endless Despair as a "legacy" to His Believer, the Fate Weaver.

He thus abandoned his cherished preordained Predestination and chose to fully embrace Nothingness.

Is it pathetic?

Sad.

Is it ridiculous?

Ridiculous.

People are all struggling to resist the weight of Destiny, but no one expected that the Destiny that weighs on people is not so resilient.

The immense pressure was transferred to Cheng Shi due to the passing of [Destiny]. This stemmed from the Creator's heavy burden and fear, which was enough to destroy a person's will and break the spine of a Mortals.

But Cheng Shi held on!

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

He knew that all resistance against such power was futile, but he still wanted to resist, just as the real [Deception] Unyielding to the manipulation of [Origin], and just as Cheng Shi from countless worlds dared to fight against [Origin] with that Bloody Mockery!

He never gave up. He said he would write his own ending, and he has been doing so all along. Even if every path in that ending leads to certain death, he will find a way to die that satisfies him among all those dead ends!

He wanted to fulfill his own desires, not to please an Outer God!

Cheng Shi clenched his fists, tensing every muscle in his body to prevent fear from spreading through his flesh. He gritted his teeth, his Outer God fury, and his voice trembled as he crazed and sneered:

Is this your vision for saving the world!?

Is this all you've done for the dead [Deception]!?

Is this what you call the Predestination that allows you to knock on the gates of the [Origin] Temple!?

You used the destruction of a world as a stepping stone to get closer to [*He], and yet you tell me not to ruin the goodwill of other Clown!

Ha, ha ha ha, who's the Clown anyway?

Even the Clown knows to extend kindness in times of Despair, but you only seize the power of the [Origin] amidst the collapse of the world, and then wantonly vent the malice in your heart!

You use other worlds as Chip, but have you ever asked the Destiny of this world if it's willing?

You don't!

You don't care at all!

Oh, I see. So, isn't this kind of behavior, which places one's will above others, not the [Origin]?

No wonder you want to get close to Him; you're the same kind of thing as Him!

The Clown went all out, showing no restraint whatsoever; it looked like he was throwing caution to the wind.

But these words clearly angered the Outer God [Destiny]. His eyes instantly turned cold, and countless Nothingness gales rose up, sweeping towards the Clown.

Cheng Shi instantly shrank back, and hurriedly shouted in terror, "I was wrong, I said the wrong thing!"

The howling, Nothingness Bitter Wind paused for a moment, and then the Clown in the gale laughed wildly again:

You are all filthy creatures!

"How dare you!"

A Bitter Wind swept towards the Clown in an instant, but Cheng Shi remained unmoved, showing no fear whatsoever.

He knew that the opponent's victory was within his grasp, so no matter how angry he was, he would never vent his anger on himself. Even if he died, it would probably be after he became Sacrifice, not now.

Indeed, no matter Nothingness the raging wind was, it was just a means to scare the Clown. The Outer God [Destiny] snorted coldly, and the Bitter Wind took the form of a giant hand, grabbing the Clown.

You can't escape it, this is your fate.

Cheng Shi's internal organs were being subjected to unbearable pressure; he coughed up blood and his face was contorted in agony.

"That's not necessarily true!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the straw appeared!

It wasn't the straw that broke the Clown's back, but rather, in the depths of Despair, it was the straw that [Order] extended to the Clown as a lifeline!

Good, [Order]!

As a Divine Resonance "[Order]" echoed through the heavens, a scale constructed of flowing light appeared in the Void. It may not be able to break through the barrier of the power of "[Origin]", but it can still convene a special the Gods' Covenant Assembly for the life belonging to this world!

In the instant [Justice) ] descended upon the world, He pulled the gods, the council of Clown together into a dazzling starry Starry Sky.

And arriving in this Starry Sky is also the Divine Authority of [Deception] that belongs to the present world!

The power of the Origin Ones may be omnipotent, but the Outer God [Destiny] certainly does not possess an inexhaustible supply of the Origin's power. Otherwise, He could have overturned the table long ago and made the entire Cosmos, all the gods, Predestination follow His script meticulously.

Since He chose to use deception, it means that even He who impersonates [Deception] is not free to act, and this lack of free will is Cheng Shi's only chance of Vitality!

Before Cheng Shi met "Destiny", he was still speculating about all of this. But even if he was just speculating, he had plenty of backup plans. He took a gamble, and when he saw with his own eyes that the Outer God [Destiny] was holding the power of [Origin] but still had to contend with [Destiny], he knew that he had made the right bet.

Even the Outer God are not omnipotent; at least the [Covenant] can still limit Him—no, it should be said that it limits the [Deception] Divine Authority within Him!

When Divine Authority returns to the original world, it is still protected by the [Covenant]. The Outer God [Destiny] can indeed Proxy behalf of the dead [Deception], but only if He respects the Covenant, respects its rules, and Covenant its judgments.

Even the power of the Origin in His hands could not support Him in circumventing the Covenant and acting recklessly; otherwise, He would not have repeatedly used the Covenant to eliminate the gods who stood in the way of the Predestination!

Therefore, the [Covenant] became Cheng Shi's lifeline!

As for why [Justice) ] came at such a timely time, there was certainly an element of gambling involved.

Everything begins with Cheng Shi's backup plan.
