Time to wake from the dream

When the [Death] boss arrived, Cheng Shi's heart clenched.

He hoped this was the third path the Hope's Flame had found for him, but that hope was extinguished before it could fully take hold.

Anyone who hears the question of [Death] will realize that the True God who dwells in the Fishbone Hall already knew the Outer God's [Destiny] plan long ago; He came to seek confirmation again, not to truly question Him.

This means that all the protection the [Death] boss had given him before was very likely a performance in cooperation with the Outer God!

They used countless superb acting skills to trick themselves into joining the ranks of the Fear Faction!

Cheng Shi was angry, Cheng Shi was tired, Cheng Shi laughed.

When he realized that his only hope was actually Despair, he knew that he had no one left to rely on in this world.

It was all wishful thinking; even the will to survive was a pipe dream.

It's time to wake up from the dream...

The Outer God's Destiny remained unchanged by the arrival of [Death]. He looked at the massive skull with the same Indifference as he did at the assembled gods, saying without joy or sorrow:

"I think I've already explained these things to you. If you didn't believe me, why are you only questioning it now?"

I can't guarantee it, but I'm confident.

Predestination have indeed experienced a failure, but it was precisely because of that failure that I was able to see through the will of [Origin].

The answers from a single world cannot satisfy [*He]'s expectations of 'Sacrifice'; true Predestination always originates from the True Universe.

I have a plan. Once I take the Predestination one away and complete the 'Sacrifice,' and [Origin] approves, this Experiment may be directly terminated here, and countless worlds will be saved as a result!

I've said it before, I'm saving the world, but not just your or my world, but the world as a whole!

I protect the Passing the Flame and bind it to the Predestination, so that it may understand that true success is never confined to Corner.

Unfortunately, Predestination stubbornly unrepentant, and even the Passing the Flame Wrong Path.

This is perhaps the most candid moment ever for the Outer God [Destiny]. It is clear that He truly has the intention to "save the world." His starting point was never to torment a Clown, but rather to sacrifice the Clown to complete the 'task' given to [Destiny] by [Origin], thereby using this opportunity to meet the all-knowing and all-powerful Creator, allowing Him to stop this Experiment and save all worlds.

However, His honesty only instilled greater fear in the gods and men present.

The gigantic skull remained silent. The gods glanced around, their expressions varied. Qin Xin continued to draw her bow, but the Big Cat, having cast aside her fear, was utterly reckless. She pointed at the eyes of [Destiny] and roared:

"Joke!

You yourself said this is just your opinion, but in [Origin's ] eyes, you're nothing more than a variable in the Experiment. So what does your confidence mean?

At this moment, what difference is there between you and the "Truth" you have stifled? Aren't you both using the world as an Experiment to please yourself?

You are indulging your own 'piety,' while disregarding the lives of the entire world!

The Outer God [Destiny] glanced at Hong Lin, but his gaze bypassed the Big Cat and went to his Believer.

He remained Indifference.

So what if it's Experiment?

Countless Deception, Destiny, and Predestination are wagered on death, a high-stakes gamble on the answer to the Origin truth...

How come they can die, but you and I cannot?

How can you find the answer without trying? How can you win the future without taking a gamble?

My Believer, you should rejoice, for when [the Origin] looks down upon my offering, your name may resound simultaneously throughout countless universes, and the world will remember all the sacrifices you made for this great world, you..."

Fuck you!

Cheng Shi directly interrupted the Indifference of the Outer God [Destiny], and madly mocked:

"It's all just a matter of willpower being hijacked, but unfortunately, my willpower is just like a true [Deception], always rebellious."

The more you try to make me Predestination, the more I will break free from the Predestination!

In my opinion, what you care about is no different from what we care about ourselves. You make it sound nice, like you're doing it for the greater good?

Bah!

If I told you right now that I know better than you how to please [Origin], and that I have a better chance of saving countless worlds, would you believe me? Would you leave and abandon your plans!?

You won't!

"I can."

A glint of starlight flashed in the eyes of the Outer God [Destiny], but then He became cold and ruthless again. "But you cannot."

No one can save the world except me.

"..."

Cheng Shi laughed in exasperation. He felt that such an argument was completely meaningless. The reason they were still alive in the present was because the Outer God was still waiting for some kind of Space-Time Storm to arrive.

Once the Storm powerful enough to transport people through time and space subsides, all further debate will be meaningless.

Cheng Shi realized that trying to make the Outer God [Destiny] understand a Predestination stance was simply wishful thinking.

"[Deception] You're right, some people are born to tear down the throne that the Divine Throne on!"

I believe that [Deception] is not necessarily a [Nothingness] appearance; He is the one who sees through the essence at a glance.

As for you, [Destiny], hahaha, in my eyes, you're nothing more than...

He paused, giving "others" a chance to vent.

"Bitch."

His pronunciation was clear and resonant, expressing his thoughts directly!

The Lips of Foolish Play unleashed their power. Mouth Brother couldn't accept the fact that its Lord of Grace had already passed away, nor could it accept being kept in the dark by the Outer God like a Clown. It had wanted to curse for a long time, but it didn't want Cheng Shi to fall into an even more disadvantageous position because of its words, so it had endured until now, until Cheng Shi could no longer bear it and gave it the opportunity to vent.

The Outer God [Destiny] can Predestination its emotions, insult and mock at will, but not just anyone can hurl a few words at it. Its cold eyes glanced at the Lips of Foolish Play, and with just a blink of its merciless eye, Cheng Shi heard a shattering sound.

"Click."

The voice was so soft that Cheng Shi thought he was hallucinating.

The sound was so heavy that Cheng Shi, who realized what had happened in that instant, felt Cheng Shi if an invisible force was squeezing all the air out of his lungs, and he couldn't breathe!

He trembled as if speechless as he touched his mouth, but could no longer feel the response of the Lips of Foolish Play on his lips.

"Mouth Brother!!"

Cheng Shi was terrified. He frantically called out in his heart, but that voice in his heart... never appeared again.

Are you leaving me too?

Cheng Shi lost his temper and slumped onto the Spotted Leopard's back.

"Cheng Shi! What's wrong with you!?"

Hong Lin was extremely anxious. Qin Xin turned around in astonishment and saw that Cheng Shi, who was sitting on the back of the Big Cat, seemed to have lost all his spirit in an instant and had become completely silent.

Upon seeing this, [Destiny] murmured:

It's the first, but it won't be the last.

As I've said before, there will always be lives that don't deserve to live until the end of the [Nothingness] era. The longer you struggle, the fewer will survive. This is the Finale Performance of the [Nothingness] era.

Whether you stained the Curtain with blood or bid farewell to the Stage with laughter and cheers, it all depends on your choice.

Predestination and cannot be changed, I believe that at this moment, you understand it better than they do.

"..."

This is truly a statement that strikes at the heart!

Hong Lin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. She pushed Cheng Shi away, regained her human form, grabbed Cheng Shi's arm, and shook her head desperately, saying:

"Cheng Shi, don't listen to Him. Since ancient times, submission has been met with bloodshed, and only resistance offers a way to survive!"

As you said, everyone has their own choices. Don't make choices for us. Our choice is to struggle, to be Unyielding, to resist, and to fall on the road to the light even if it means death!

All you have to do is lead us to break free from the shackles of Destiny, to shatter the fetters of Destiny, and to fight for a future without Destiny, no, without gods, instead of listening to the words of Outer God, distorting yourselves, and enduring humiliation and entanglement!

We don't need you to save us, we are saving ourselves!

As she spoke, she placed Cheng Shi on the ground, turned around and Outer God, unleashing her [Prosperity] Divine Authority. Her hair flew like sprouting buds, and the wildly growing branches instantly wove a green crown of [Prosperity] on her head.

But that wasn't all. The green crown sprouted countless roots that penetrated the surrounding Starry Sky, drawing upon its power to make Starry Sky 'Hong Lin body even stronger. Her arm transformed into a spear, pointing it at the Outer God, her rage uncontrollable.

"So what if the Curtain stained with blood? The brighter the stain, the better it will be used to cover your coffin!"

The word "coffin" had barely left his lips when, through Void gap pierced by the lush green branches of [Prosperity], a real coffin suddenly appeared!

The coffin lid slid down a third, and a slender hand emerged from it. Without a word, it grabbed the disoriented Cheng Shi and pulled him inside.

The cover flips over, and the figures switch places.

The figure inside the coffin appeared before the gods, but the coffin containing the person was instantly pushed back into the Void.

After completing all this, the newcomer clapped his hands, ignoring the cold gaze of the Outer God [Destiny], squinted at the massive skull on the Bone Throne, and said in a slightly deep voice:

"My lord, my piety ends here."
