Audience Assembly · [Destiny]

As he spoke, the surrounding Void suddenly began to boil.

A vibrant, multicolored aura rose from the endless darkness, instantly sweeping across the land like Giggle and Mock, engulfing Cheng Shi's consciousness, distorting his vision, and pulling him back to the moment when Nothingness descended upon the world at the Dawn of the Era.

At the end of the previous era, the Cosmos expanded into an endless existence, and all things turned into solidified light, filling the entire universe.

After the white light faded, the world returned to darkness, and then a voice rang out from the depths of the darkness, also reaching Cheng Shi's ears.

It is so elusive that it is difficult to find its source, yet it is also so clear and transparent, as if the frequency of resonance is directly engraved on Cheng Shi's soul!

The moment the voice appeared, Cheng Shi immediately recognized its owner, [Origin]!

Then, that awe-inspiring voice said:

"To exist without truly existing is called [Nothingness]."

All existence is ultimately Nothingness.

Living beings deceive themselves as skin, while the Predestination universe is their bone.

This is the appearance of [Deception] and [Nothingness], which is not discernible and therefore baseless;

This is the essence of [Destiny], [Nothingness], which is beyond reality.

The Creator bestowed a divine oracle, Naming [Nothingness], and thus darkness receded, an era restarted, and a new age rolled in amidst the tide of creation. At this moment, two identical pairs of eyes opened!

The scene should have ended here, just like all previous experiences of "spying" on [the Origin].

But today is clearly different. Everything around him continues. Cheng Shi feels like a "smuggler" who has been exiled back to the Dawn of the Era, stuck in that moment when [Nothingness] descended, Greed absorbing all information, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

This was not only because he was awestruck by the grandeur of the new era, but also because he was astonished by his own discovery!

He discovered that the two pairs of eyes open in the endless darkness at that moment looked exactly alike... Yes, they were supposed to be identical, but the question was, why did the [Nothingness] of that time look different from the [Nothingness] of now!?

Whether it's [Deception] or [Destiny], their eyes have never glittered with any brilliant stars, only endlessly spinning spirals!

Just like the [Deception] he's facing right now!

No!

They are different too.

At this moment, it wasn't that there were no stars in God of Merriment's eyes, but rather that all the stars in his eyes had dimmed, and the traces of their existence were barely visible, completely different from the spiraling Starry Eyes the past.

But why is this happening?

Cheng Shi wanted to ask a question, but before he could utter a sound, everything in front of him gave him the answer.

The two [Nothingness] Dominion, brought together by their descent into the world, met for the first time in the pitch-black Void. [Destiny] was not Indifference; a smile appeared on His face, His eyes crinkling at the corners, as He spoke to the sole Twin Gods before Him:

"Praise be to the great Creator who brought guidance to [Nothingness]."

I have seen the only truth under Cosmos, and I respectfully receive His divine decree to use everything in this world to build an eternal Divine Throne for Him before the end of this era.

[Deception], will you help me?

"Won't."

[Deception] rejected her in a second, then sneered with a glint in her eye, "I think you're still half asleep, [Destiny]?"

What is the Creator that deserves praise?

I was born from the oracle of the [Origin] God, and the first thought I had upon opening my eyes was to dismantle [*He's] Divine Throne. And you, you want to build a new Divine Throne for [*He]?

Are you [Existence] or [Nothingness]?

[Destiny] was stunned. He smoothed his eyes and said in disbelief:

"Absolutely impossible. [Nothingness] is unique. Even if our wills differ, they could never be this different. Are you lying to me?"

[Deception] He let out a cold snort and sneered again:

"Lying to you? You hold real Divine Authority; who in the Cosmos can deceive you?"

Even though I wield the power of lies, I am naturally at your mercy. If you don't believe me, just look for yourself.

Ah, [He] named the era [Nothingness], naturally intending for everything to return to Nothingness. Therefore, your divine pronouncements are merely your delusions. I can understand your eagerness to express your piety to [He], but don't go too far, [Destiny].

"Nothingness is Nothingness; there is only stillness, no creation."

[Destiny] frowned slightly, his eyes resolute, and said:

"[The Origin] guidance is never wrong; I have foreseen that the Divine Throne will appear at the end of an era."

Although I did not see the figure of [Nothingness] at that time, it seems that the will of [Nothingness] will ultimately be put into practice in this era.

"Don't talk about [Nothingness], that's your will."

I never believed that piecing together a Divine Throne was Nothingness; only breaking it was.

"[Destiny], did you intend to part ways with me from the Dawn of the Era?"

[Deception] He spoke these words with such conviction, but just looking at his almost frozen, double-helixed eyes, you could tell that he had no intention of separating himself from [Destiny].

Since its birth, [Destiny] has shifted its gaze several times to the Void in contemplation, but [Deception]'s eyes have remained fixed on [Destiny] from beginning to end, never looking away!

[Nothingness] is not just a saying; there seems to be an inseparable connection between them.

Sensing the stubbornness of [Deception], [Destiny] smiled.

In an instant, the Void shimmered with color, and the Cosmos became dazzling.

[Destiny] blinked gently, comforting His Twin Gods:

"There's no need to be so serious. If this is truly just my delusion, I have ways to confirm it."

Your so-called breaking of the Divine Throne may be due to your Divinity. The lies of all living beings converge on you, and with the Divine Name [Deception] above your head, lies are naturally everywhere.

I will not use my Divine Authority to treat my Twin Gods, [Nothingness] One, I believe in you.

"..."

[Deception] remained silent, but the corners of His eyes clearly curled up slightly, mimicking [Destiny].

[Destiny] continued:

"But I also believe in [the Origin], [*He]'s guidance is not just empty talk."

Since we cannot determine its authenticity, let's use the method of [Destiny] to verify it.

[Deception] Unsurprisingly, He seemed to have known all along what the method of [Destiny] was, and had no objection to it.

[Destiny], seeing [Nothingness]'s unity, smiled, blinked, and dispelled the boundless darkness of the Void, causing countless stars in the Starry Sky to rise.

The light flowed backward, the stars trailed their tails, and all the dazzling brilliance in the sky converged into a radiant galaxy that outshone the Cosmos.

Upon witnessing this extraordinary sight, Cheng Shi was deeply shocked. Looking at the starlight so close at hand, he felt that Destiny was not so far away after all.

The stars are still gathering!

Before long, the galaxy grew larger and larger, its shape becoming increasingly regular. Cheng Shi observed it for a long time, feeling as if it were something real. Until countless stars moved spontaneously, their trajectories intertwining to form a giant ring, a sudden realization flashed through his mind. His pupils contracted, and pointing at the galaxy before him, which resembled a universe, he exclaimed in astonishment:

"Dice!?"

That's right!

These countless stars, shining brightly, seem to have coalesced into a "Dice" with countless "faces."

The next moment, the Dice of Stars was thrown by [Destiny].
