Coming and going, thus continuation

So He began to think of ways to safely weather this calamity in this abstract and absurd era.

The first solution he could think of was to find the [Annihilation] Emissary who had destroyed his kingdom, and have Herobas take him away to a distant land!

Herobas was also a pitiful god; he was tricked by that Mortals and ended up in a limbo, losing both his Vessel and his Divine Throne. In a sense, they were both "fellow sufferers in the same boat."

This world can clearly no longer accommodate them; rather than slowly waiting to die, they might as well run away.

Yog knew that there were other worlds beyond this one. Yes, in this era when even the True God had not yet seen the whole picture, this Fleeing Emperor knew everything.

This wasn't something he overheard from some True God; it was a "reminder" he found in his most secret hiding place!

Yog was extremely skilled at hiding and very confident; He believed that almost no one but the True God could find Him.

So one day, when He saw that message in His hiding place, His heavens collapsed.

Only the True God can find His whereabouts by any means, but Yog has never had contact with any True God. Why would they bypass His Lord of Grace to give Him a divine message?

Yog was reluctant to answer, but dared not refuse. However, when He finally saw what the message said... He realized it was something even more terrifying than a divine oracle!

An intruder with handwriting identical to his own left a message for him, telling him that the world was in imminent danger and that the only way to survive was to abandon his identity and power and leave this world.

Yog was stunned.

The other party specifically emphasized that the world is not a progression of [Time], but an independent Starry Sky, where there are gods different from the current Cosmos. Only by leaving this place and seeking a new world can one possibly escape the Nothingness ending of the era's end.

Yog was not stupid; on the contrary, He was extremely intelligent. He quickly realized that this was another version of Him from Another World reminding Him of something.

He was grateful to his other self, but... He knew that his Divine Power was his only reliance, so he was unwilling to give up his divine Divine Power.

Besides, He hasn't been to what the world outside is like. If He were to truly abandon everything, how would He cope with the dangers lurking everywhere beyond this world?

And He remained wary of this warning, even though the other party had left Him a tool to traverse the Spacetime Barrier, but...

The timid Yog couldn't make a decision.

Until He saw Cheng Shi, in front of all the gods, mock them, and personally take the Divine Throne of [Chaos] from the hands of Justice) and hand it over to another Mortals...

At that moment, Yog was terrified.

The absurdity of the [Nothingness] era far surpasses His imagination!

Therefore, He resolved to leave this world and escape this absurd and twisted Nothingness.

However, the world outside is too "dangerous" for Him to go alone. He needs a "fleeing companion," and after much thought, the only god he can choose seems to be... Herobas.

Even though the "Hand of Purity" had once Annihilation His kingdom, He couldn't care less now. For the sake of both being "Sinking" from Subgod, they could be considered to have some "kinship."

And so, this scene unfolded today.

Yog stood in front of Herobas, carefully explaining his escape plan. He kept observing Herobas's reaction. If Horobus behaved strangely, or if he wanted to "report" him, he would immediately use the item to escape this world.

Herobas was dumbfounded.

He was still thinking about how to leverage the [Nothingness] to reclaim the [Annihilation] Divine Throne that belonged to him, but now Yog told him that the world was not unique, and there were many other [Annihilation] Divine Throne to choose from.

The question is... did the Annihilation of those worlds also Annihilation their own selves?

"..."

After thinking for a long time, Herobas looked at Yog, who was like Startled Bow, forced a smile, shook his head, and rejected Yog's escape plan.

I underestimated you, Yog.

I must say, the fact that you dared to stand before me proves your courage, your courage to escape... This world possesses unparalleled courage.

But I can't leave.

"You still have designs on that Divine Throne?" Seeing the refugee group about to fall apart before they were even fully assembled, Yog panicked. "Wake up! It'll belong to that kid sooner or later! [Nothingness] is setting you up, can't you see?"

Herobas gave a bitter smile, "Of course I can see that, but..."

Whether or not [Nothingness] obtains the Divine Throne [Annihilation], they cannot deny my 'contribution' to it.

In that case, I can become the other Path of Fate- Subgod closest to [Nothingness] in this era. They have no reason to refuse a 'free henchman', and thus I can also receive the protection of [Nothingness].

Since whether an era ends or not is up to them, why should I, who have received their protection, leave?

"?"

The explanation confused Yog, who pondered for a moment, and then realized that what Herobas said seemed to make sense...

Wow—that makes sense!

But He was still not resigned to it; He did not want to become a "cross-border rat," so He maliciously predicted:

What's the use of protection?

If the world is destroyed, won't [Nothingness] also perish? At that point, do you think they'll risk their lives to protect you?

Herobas murmured, "[The Origin] is above. Even if the world is destroyed, it will be reborn. When the next era arrives, who says that I, who am close to [Nothingness], will have no chance?"

"Fool, there will be no next era!" Yog regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. He took a few steps back, watching Herobas's movements, ready to leave at any moment.

Herobas was not angry; instead, he laughed.

"You're wrong. There will definitely be another era; otherwise, what would be the point of [Origin] creating so many worlds?"

Just because I can't see the future doesn't mean that [Nothingness] can't see the future either.

They spared no effort in nurturing Cheng Shi; perhaps only in his world could the future be found?

Sigh, never mind, you can go now. I know you won't believe me. You're naturally timid, so I'm very grateful that you've gone to this extent.

I will not mention you to any god.

But don't waste your energy on me.

With that, Herobas, along with the world that was about to Annihilation behind him, disappeared from Yog's sight.

Yog's eyelids twitched wildly. He held the artifact that allowed him to traverse the Spacetime Barrier, and hesitated for a moment.

Outside lay unknown dangers, before him lay known destruction; He wanted to choose neither path.

You have to choose!

After much internal struggle, Yog gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, crushed the prop in his hand, and said bitterly, "I'd rather believe in another version of myself than stay here and wait to die!"

As he spoke, a dense power of [Time] exploded around him, turning into a black hole that sucked Yog in.

Before Yog could even feel the terror, he lost consciousness and was then ejected into the True Universe by a spatial turbulence.

Just then, a deafening explosion came from the depths of the Starry Sky, causing the Spacetime Barrier of the entire world to tremble.

Opening its black hole-like eyes through the cracks of [Existence], it gazed at the fleeting flash of blazing white light in the distance and Yog drifting into the True Universe, remaining silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh:

"There is coming and going, this is the continuation..."

The compressed explosion of the [Origin] power was enough to shake the Spacetime Barrier, causing a slight pause in time during the Experiment. It seems my research is about to yield results.

As he spoke, his eyes, like black holes, silently disappeared into the darkness.
