Do you still remember me, [Wrath of Abomination]?
To be honest, Li Jingming was surprised, but not entirely unable to understand, that he had obtained the [Memory] Vessel.
After all, he was the one who went the furthest on the path of [Memory], and [Memory], unlike other gods, did not devote too much attention to a particular collection of [Deception].
He just didn't quite understand why [Memory] would be bestowed upon the Vessel at this time.
This must be a "gift," and the survival in the Sea of Memories can only be considered a "ritual" of that gift.
Li Jingming's doubts did not escape Cheng Shi's eyes. One second Cheng Shi was smiling and trying to clear himself, the next second his smile vanished and he fell silent, looking in the direction of the blurry artifact, and sighed softly:
He has left.
Li Jingming was taken aback, not immediately understanding Cheng Shi's meaning. He blurted out, "Who left?"
But before he could finish speaking, the words caught in his throat, and he shuddered, saying in disbelief:
"[Memory]... left!?"
So that's why He left this Vessel for me?
"Yes, that's about it." Cheng Shi nodded. "[Time] told me that [Memory] felt the future of this Starry Sky no longer needed to Memory, so it went to the True Universe to find more Memory."
"..."
This news was so shocking to Li Jingming that he remained unsettled for a long time after hearing it.
He frowned, looking puzzled, and said:
"How so?
Regardless of the future or the past, it is merely a state of [Existence]. As the True God who holds [Memory] and practices the will of [Memory], how could He suddenly abandon His attachment to Memory and go to the True Universe?
I don't understand; it's more like a desecration of one's own will.
Cheng Shi, don't you think there's a problem with this?
"Profanity is the ultimate form of piety, Dragon King!"
Besides, aren't Memory from the True Universe considered Memory? Can't He...?
Forget it, that joke wasn't funny.
Cheng Shi chuckled self-deprecatingly, touched his nose, and said, "Of course I think there's something wrong with this. When [Prosperity] crumbled before my eyes, I felt that the whole world was full of problems."
But what's the use?
The decisions of the gods will never be changed by our will.
I also can't understand why [Memory] would abandon the Memory of this world. [Time] didn't explain much, I can only guess that perhaps [Memory] felt that no more Memory would be generated in the future?
The rhythm of this era's end is now in the hands of [Nothingness]. When everything is Nothingness, naturally there will be no more Memory, right?
Li Jingming shook his head solemnly:
"No, according to my understanding of [Memory], even if there are no more Memory afterward, the end of an era is still one of the most important Memory of that era!"
I truly cannot understand why He would relinquish such a magnificent Memory, unless [Time] has already told Him the future of the world, and He has already engraved the Memory of the future through it!
As he spoke, the Dragon King raised an eyebrow. "That's right, it must be like that."
Even Memory that are not worth remembering will still find a place to bury them, and the Memory dump in my My Nightmare, Your Dream is the best proof of that!
So it's not that He didn't remember, but that He already remembered!
"[Time] must have already foreseen that future, Cheng Shi. You said you've met with Him, didn't [Time] give you any guidance?"
Of course it exists, but it's practically nonexistent.
Cheng Shi was at his wit's end. He told the Dragon King what [Time] had said, and Li Jingming was stunned after hearing it.
"Near?
Having come this far, how can we still talk about getting closer?
"This is the hardest part to understand. I can't imagine how the current 'distance' can be linked to 'closeness'."
The only thing I'm certain of is that the Fear Faction truly exists, and that [Time] is indeed acting in the best interests of the world.
But perhaps the answer that requires getting closer can only be found when we meet the God of Merriment at the Audience Assembly and ask Him.
Let's leave aside these things we can't understand and talk about something closer to home: Dragon King, are you ready to inherit the Divine Throne of [Memory]?
Li Jingming was taken aback, slightly dazed.
At the recently concluded Jester's Gathering, the Fate Weaver was still talking about seeking several Divine Throne, but now, the Magician has become [Chaos], and the Divine Throne of [Memory] is gradually approaching him.
All of this felt so unreal that even the usually resolute Li Jingming began to doubt himself—no, he should say he doubted the world.
"The gods abandoned their Divine Throne, Mortals took their place."
If this is the answer to the world, then I should remember these Memory for this world...
That means they agreed.
Cheng Shi smiled wryly, but he knew this was by no means the answer to the world.
The previous world that had completed its complete overhaul had already collapsed along the way, and Cheng Shi, who had inherited the Divine Authority [Deception], was still nowhere to be found.
Cheng Shi would never repeat the mistakes of the past, and he also believed that the Fear Faction were not creating an even bigger nightmare.
"Prepare yourself, Dragon King, the Divine Throne is laid out before you."
However, in order to gain a greater voice in the [Covenant], I still need to take advantage of this momentum and secure the vote from the [Order].
After saying a brief goodbye to Li Jingming, Cheng Shi went to find Li Wufang again.
He was going to take Li Wufang somewhere to reclaim everything that belonged to [Order].
The Investigator was genuinely frightened; he kept asking, "Who are we going to see?"
Cheng Shi smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when we get there."
With the help of the New God [Chaos], Cheng Shi and Li Wufang quickly arrived at a cage. Li Wufang was shocked to see the prisoners locked in the huge cage.
"This is..."
The Blazing Flame surged forth, radiating dazzling light, and the temperature was enough to scorch through rock and soil. Cheng Shi explained:
"[The Wrath of Abomination], who was also called [The Blazing Sun], is one of the Adjudicator appointed by [Order]."
"!!!"
Li Wufang certainly knew [Wrath of Abomination], or rather, there wasn't a single Believer of [Order] who didn't know him.
The forbidden spells wielded by the Elemental Judge have caused immense suffering to all those who blaspheme against [Order], and many witnesses have been reduced to ashes in Meteor Fire Rain. This is why [Wrath of Abomination] has such a fearsome reputation.
But now, this irritable, volatile, and infamous [Chaos] Emissary cowering in a corner of the cage, doing his best to stay away from the cell door, desperately trying to contain his flames, not daring to let even a single spark touch Cheng Shi at the door.
If the Fear Faction only use fear as their standard, without defining what they fear, then [Wrath of Abomination] would definitely be the backbone of the Fear Faction!
He was terrified.
What they feared was not the Mortals before them, but the True God who stood behind Mortals, gods they dared not provoke!
[Deception], [Destiny], merely [Nothingness] is enough to make Him tremble, let alone the [Death], [Silence], [Time] behind the opponent...
He wasn't Blind Man; He saw that the other party had just forced his Lord of Grace to his death in the Void. Regardless of whether it was [Chaos] or [Order], his Lord of Grace had changed, replaced by this Mortals's friend, a Magician who Faith [Deception]!
Who wouldn't be terrified of such a powerful figure who could withstand the pressure of the [Covenant] and make [Justice) ] "flee"?
[Wrath of Abomination] Right now, I'm not thinking about anything else; all I can think about is whether this scoundrel has taken a fancy to my cage.
Take it, take it now! You can have the prisoner's identity if you like!
And it was at this moment that Cheng Shi revealed a bright smile to the trembling [Wrath of Abomination] inside the cage:
"Do you remember me, [Wrath of Abomination]?"
"..."
Is it too late to say I don't remember?
