Audience Assembly · Destiny

The "Dice" formed by the star cluster did not roll far; only the starlight on it shimmered and spun rapidly.

It's difficult for Mortals to see exactly what the dice of stars will roll, Cheng Shi is also waiting to see if he can get an answer from [Destiny].

Although he already knew the answer.

[Destiny] is absolutely certain in verifying one's own will; otherwise, people in this era would not have witnessed the divergence and division of [Nothingness].

The two Dominion [Nothingness] ultimately embarked on two completely different paths: one constantly rebelled and refused to submit, while the other steadfastly Predestination his piety...

Looking at the still-rolling dice in front of him, Cheng Shi wanted to do something to change the outcome that had brought suffering to the era, even if it was just a memory and couldn't affect reality. But even just dreaming would be nice.

However, it seemed that God of Merriment had already guessed his thoughts, and locked the only audience member in front of the memory firmly in the audience seat, unable to move at all.

"Watch closely." The voice of the God of Merriment, echoing from the depths of his consciousness, grew increasingly cold, like the voice of [Destiny].

Cheng Shi struggled in vain, and said helplessly, "What's the point of watching or not watching? We already knew the result, didn't we, my Lord of Grace?"

How will you know the outcome if you don't look?

No sooner had God of Merriment finished speaking than a sudden change occurred before Cheng Shi's eyes!

"Boom--"

The moment the speed of the Star Dice reached its maximum, it suddenly shattered!

Immediately afterwards, countless stars fell and rained down!

A pair of Starry Eyes stared in panic at what was happening before them. The spiral stopped spinning, and the starry pupils suddenly contracted.

As for why it's only one pair... because the other pair is missing!

Yes, [Destiny] is gone!

Those eyes, with their upturned corners and spiraling gazes, disintegrated along with the dice of stars, turning into Nothingness and vanishing directly into the starry Starry Sky!

"!!!!!"

A bone-chilling coldness rose from Cheng Shi's tailbone and shot straight to the top of his head, making him shudder and almost lose the ability to think.

He stared in disbelief at everything before him, looking at the [Deception] who was just as shocked as he was, and seemed to hear the last pair of eyes wailing in agony...

No, he can't hear me.

He subconsciously felt that [Deception] was wailing, and that hysterical emotion drove the spiral in his eyes to begin to twist. Similarly, Cheng Shi's vision also began to twist.

Memories are fading, Void is returning.

Before Cheng Shi could Cheng Shi react to what had happened at the Dawn of the Era, God of Merriment's eyes opened again above his head.

A rare hint of sorrow flashed in those eyes, but the shocked and bewildered Cheng Shi didn't notice it at all. He mechanically looked up and met those emotionless eyes, and then heard God of Merriment say in a low voice:

Do you believe it now?

You have witnessed His fall.

"!!!!!"

What!?

What just happened was... the fall of [Destiny]!?

How is that possible?

Did [Destiny] die at the Dawn of the Era?

What a joke! Who is his Lord of Grace? Who does Predestination? And who is he fighting with the God of Merriment in the Nothingness?!

Cheng Shi's mind exploded; countless fragments of information flashed through his consciousness:

[Nothingness]'s two pairs of eyes look exactly the same...

"Don't be skeptical, [Destiny] is far more deceitful than I am..."

The conflicts of this Mortal World are a projection of their will, and the charlatans of [Deception] are always playing the role of gamblers in [Destiny]...

The fusion of [Destiny] and [Time] is also the work of the God of Merriment behind the scenes...

The Trials of [Deception] should be viewed in reverse; in the Trials, [Deception] is the first to die, so in reality...

"I am [Deception], and I am [Destiny]..."

"..."

Buzz--

Cheng Shi felt his vision becoming increasingly blurry, the world spinning, and his perception distorted. He felt as if he could no longer see anything in front of him, and his legs went weak, causing him to collapse straight into the Void.

Ha?

Hahahaha!

Not again?

Could this damned Audience Assembly be just another Trials of Deception?

One prank wasn't enough, do they want a second one?

But at this point, what's the point of playing the Clown again?

In the midst of this False Curtain Call, despite everything the Outer God said making sense, Cheng Shi couldn't accept that his long-followed Lord of Grace [Deception] was actually the Outer God [Destiny]...

But now, when [Deception] says [Destiny] is already dead, he actually feels... though he can't accept it, it seems... somewhat reasonable?

Since Predestination is driven by Deception, isn't He also a kind of "Destiny"?

At that moment, Cheng Shi understood everything, and he went mad.

He clutched his stomach and pounded the ground, his face contorted in rage.

What a wonderful concept of "Nothingness uniting hearts," what a wonderful concept of "Nothingness unique"!

Since the arrival of [Nothingness], there has only been one god; how could it not be unique!

He raised his head, as if all his strength had been drained, his eyes glazed over as he stared at his Lord of Grace above him, and he raved in a frenzied self-mockery:

"So both of my Lord of Grace are you, right?"

So there is no such thing as "Destiny" in this world. "Destiny" died long ago. What people see as "Destiny" is actually your performance, right?

Of course, you're a master of disguise; who can see through your Deception lies?

If possible, then add another [Chaos], wouldn't that be enough to deceive the entire Cosmos?

I've always been curious: given the chaos and the overlap in Divine Authority between you and me, why are you so fixated on that Divine Throne? I had almost convinced myself that the chaotic nature of the [Chaos] with your Divine Authority, making it easier to deceive you.

Wrong! Utterly wrong!

What you're after is [Chaos]!

The deception of Deception, coupled with the confusion of [Chaos], will make your lies so convincing that they will be difficult for the Cosmos to see through.

What a brilliant facade of [Nothingness]! You've truly succeeded, using a vast web of lies to keep all living beings in the Cosmos in the dark.

So from beginning to end, Predestination that you were the only one pushing things forward, and from start to finish, Predestination that you were the only one resisting!

One-Man Show!?

Hahaha, who would have thought that on the Stage of the [Nothingness] era, it would be One-Man Show!?

No, I should have thought of that sooner, I should have thought of that sooner... You two look exactly alike, why can't you be the same person?

No wonder there wasn't a single corpse of [Destiny] in the Corpse Field of the gods... I always thought He cared about Predestination and therefore never went to the True Universe.

Ah, so that's how it is...

He died long ago!

At this point, Cheng Shi's eyes changed, suddenly becoming sharp. He scrambled to his feet, struggling to suppress his distorted expression, and roared, "..."

But I still don't understand!

[Destiny] already possessed the power of prophecy, so why did He suddenly perish at the Dawn of the Era?

Who exactly did this?!

[Deception] Looking down at Cheng Shi, his tone was just like His at the Dawn of the Era. After revealing all the truth, He was finally able to return to his true self.

"Because He prophesied things that He shouldn't have prophesied."

"!!!???"

Cheng Shi was stunned. The next second, he remembered someone:

An Mingyu!

The Blind Man also died suddenly during the Trials, and the reason for her death was...

"[Origin]!?"

Cheng Shi's pupils constricted sharply, and his voice became completely distorted.
