President Gong's moment in the spotlight

In this world, I was the one who drew back the curtain on the Universe Truth!?

When Long Jing learned all this, he automatically blocked out Cheng Dashi's existence and included the version of himself that had once come into this world as his own.

I'm so important to this world!

I never knew I had made such a huge contribution to the Cosmos!

At this moment, the frustration of being Void by his Lord of Grace vanished, and Long Jing felt radiant with light!

He stared intently at Cheng Shi, wanting to say "Quickly thank me," but after a long pause, he couldn't get the words out. Instead, he suppressed his radiant aura, gave an awkward smile, and then said uncertainly:

"So, the so-called 'Passing the Torch Plan' is about me playing the role of Su Yida, going to another world to meet another version of you, and then unveiling the Universe Truth for that world!?"

"?"

What was originally a matter of passing on the torch turned into a solo performance by Acrobat in President Gong's mouth.

Do you also enjoy One-Man Show?

Cheng Shi's eyes darkened for a moment, then he instantly smiled and said, "Yes, you understand correctly."

Long Jing was amused, but he quickly frowned and asked in confusion:

"If that's the case, why make it so complicated?"

What role does the Jie Shu play in the plan? Can't we just bypass it and get out on our own?

Cheng Shi shook his head. "There's no way out. The passage is closed, Giggle and Mock have dried up..."

"What?" Everyone was stunned, saying in disbelief, "The Nose of Discernment?"

"... We might need to think about Nose Bro's situation again. He probably won't hide his nose from us."

Of course, it's also possible that the Clown has already put on his nose, but he just doesn't know it yet.

Cheng Shi chuckled self-deprecatingly, then said, "[Time] has also stopped seeing me. Now, perhaps only Jie Shu can open the passage to leave this world."

So we can't get around him no matter what.

Long Jing nodded. How to get out wasn't important; the problem was how to Passing the Flame. He frowned and said:

"We've been through so much, we clearly know which way to go, so why can't we just tell the other Clown?"

"I'm afraid that won't work."

It wasn't Cheng Shi who answered with "Long Jing," but Zhen Xin.

She tapped her arm with her fingertips and shook her head, saying, "Back then Cheng Shi didn't know the truth about the Slice Universe, he didn't know you, and he didn't even believe that his future self would go back to the past to see him. If you tell him this, in his eyes, you can only be a liar."

He wasn't like he is now back then...

Zhen Xin glanced at Cheng Shi, "... So trusting of others."

Cheng Shi understood Zhen Xin's sarcasm, and gave a helpless, self-deprecating laugh:

That's because you are trustworthy.

From the perspective of the Creator's Experiment, the development of world lines is far more complex than we imagine. Based on my observations of different worlds in the True Universe, the development of world lines in different Slice Universe may have already become entangled for some reason.

I don't know when these entanglements began, but I'm certain our world is already caught up in them, and these entanglements determine the 'distance' that different worlds can traverse.

This means that even a small Change could trigger not just an earthquake in one world, but a tsunami in countless others.

Unless we can be absolutely certain that directly revealing the truth will cause the evolution of a world to proceed in the direction we expect, otherwise...

Any unnecessary actions could turn the Passing the Flame into a 'contagion,' accelerating the destruction of that world, or even triggering a chain reaction.

This is why, even though there are clearly Cheng Shi wandering in the True Universe, we haven't been able to learn the full truth from them.

Even they probably couldn't be sure what the consequences of knowing something in advance would be.

No one dared to gamble, so everyone followed the footsteps of history, repeating the same patterns over and over again, until a chance encounter sparked Destiny that propelled some fortunate world forward...

It now seems that we are very likely the luckiest world.

Therefore, what we need to do is repeat!

Long Jing, this is the most crucial step. You need to carefully remember all the memories I have experienced, and then dutifully perform everything Su Yida has done.

Ideally, the events should be restored to their original state 100%; even if that's not possible, at least the course of events shouldn't be arbitrarily altered.

Remember, every word you say may affect not only Cheng Shi, but the entire world he inhabits!

"!!!"

Hearing this, Long Jing finally understood why this mission was so important.

This is not about sharing a map they explored with a later world, but about flawlessly guiding that world onto the path they walked!

Cheng Shi continued:

"Whether in the True Universe or in the gaps of [Existence], all the beings from other worlds I've encountered say I'm the luckiest one. Perhaps it's their support that has brought us to where we are now, but that's all we can go. There's no more guidance on the road ahead."

The good news is that the Fear Faction have not left us; Lord of Grace is still Lord of Grace, and He, in accordance with our will, is working for the future of the world.

The bad news is that whether this effort is worthwhile remains to be seen; we'll have to try it ourselves.

There is too much uncertainty involved. Before leading the world Wrong Path, we must first pass on this section of the correct path.

Passing the Flame Passing the Flame, passing the flame from flame to flame, that is the true Passing the Flame.

Having received Cheng Dashi's kindness, we naturally want to pass on this kindness to the next world without any deviation.

Therefore, Long Jing...

Can we trust you?

At this moment, all the Clown's eyes were focused on Long Jing. Everyone knew how difficult this task was. The difficulty lay not in how to portray Su Yida, but in whether the person carrying out the task had the courage to face death!

Don't forget, the Su Yida who came back from the future died, at Tao Yi's hands. This is also part of history!

If history were to be replicated flawlessly, then this tragic Long Jing incident would be inevitable.

Therefore, this plan was not only about Passing the Flame, but also about going to one's death!

To die in a mission to save other worlds!

Given President Gong's cunning and shrewdness, he would never put himself in a deadly situation.

But today, he accepted this task, and acted with extreme decisiveness.

Long Jing smiled slightly, then suddenly produced his top hat, twirling it in his hand like an actor on stage before setting it to his chest. His gaze swept over everyone, he bowed, and said with a beaming smile:

"It is an honor to unveil a new world."

To be able to Passing the Flame of Vitality in the Cosmos, even in death, is an honor.

He wasn't unaware that he would die; he simply chose to die in a "dazzling" way.

Long Jing thought to himself, "I chose the role of Su Yida myself, and as an excellent actor, of course I must portray it to the end!"

At this moment, he finally understood why Cheng Shi from the other world had taken such good care of him; he realized that he too could do something for this world.

"Smack!"

Just as Long Jing was immersed in some kind of emotion, someone clapped for the first time, and then continuous applause rang out from the Jester Gathering Place.

"Clap clap clap--"

All the applause was a tribute to the Acrobat; this time, there was no mockery or ridicule, only genuine appreciation and recognition.

Zhen Xin, Dragon King, Doctor, Old Zhang... their gazes were filled with encouragement and praise. Since joining the Clown, this was the first time Long Jing had seen such emotions in the eyes of these swindlers.

Normally, he would awkwardly avoid it to avoid becoming the Clown.

But today, standing before everyone, he accepts it calmly.

This was the Acrobat's shining moment, and the cheers and recognition he deserved.

The applause continued, but the atmosphere was anything but warm. Everyone fell silent. Saying goodbye to a friend was not a happy occasion. Even Old Zhang, who loved carving inscriptions for others, had his eyes narrowed and his smile gone.

However, at that moment, Cheng Shi suddenly burst out laughing and said to everyone:

Don't be so pessimistic.

I've said it before, I will never let my friends die for me again, not even for me in Another World.

Who says death is always irreversible?

Don't forget, everyone, I'm a Priest, and coincidentally, I'm also Priest.

History may indeed be unchangeable, but miracles can happen in places unseen by the 'audience'.

The screenwriter is a master at creating miracles; no one will die in this plan.

I'm the screenwriter, so I call the shots.
