Cheng Shi handed Long Jing two things.

One is Divinity, the other is a Dice.

He looked at the Divinity in his hand and explained:

"Before coming here, I made a special trip to see Hong Lin and obtained this wisp of [Prosperity] Divinity from her."

This will be the Divinity you take to that world; barring any unforeseen circumstances, one unit of [Prosperity] Divinity should suffice.

Long Jing was taken aback, and cautiously asked, "What if something unexpected happens?"

"Then you can pay for it first, and I'll pay you back when I get back."

"???"

Are you kidding me, trying to get something for nothing?

I'm about to die, and you still want me to cushion your death?

So, you think dying means settling accounts and ending everything, right!?

Although this way of thinking wasn't wrong, and it was a way of making the best use of resources, Long Jing's face still darkened.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi chuckled and continued:

"I told you not to be so pessimistic, it won't kill you."

Although Su Yida's death was verified by [Deception] himself, don't forget that He was, after all, only [Deception] within Slice Universe. As long as He didn't leave that world, He couldn't possibly know what happened outside of it.

You've probably all seen Su Yida's Memory, right? I think he shouldn't be able to see those Memory from before he came into our world, right?

The Dragon King and Long Jing nodded simultaneously, clearly having thoroughly reviewed the Memory of the Master of Trickery in order to play their part.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer Cheng Shi smiled.

"Very good, Long Jing, this is your Vitality."

I'll tell you the specifics, but before that, we need a life-saving item, Old Zhang. Do you have any kind of life-saving item, like Token, that can hold the soul of a dead person for resurrection in another location?

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and took out a small wooden piece about the length of a finger joint from his personal space.

"[Death] SS-grade artifact, Parasitic Wood. As you said, the soul of the life bound to it will not go to the Fishbone Hall upon death, but will attach to it and wait for resurrection."

The advantage is that as long as the item is not destroyed, there is always a possibility of revival.

The drawback is that it can only be bound to one person.

This is one of my backup plans for survival, but I haven't bound it to anything yet.

As he spoke, Zhang Jizu handed it out.

Cheng Shi took the Parasitic Wood, examined it for a moment, nodded, and tossed it to Long Jing, saying:

"Everything is ready; now it's time to plan the action..."

Cheng Shi laid out his entire plan very seriously, and Long Jing listened, his eyes gradually widened.

What!? You want to come with me?

Cheng Shi smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise how would the Cheng Shi from the other world meet his 'Cheng Dashi'?"

Don't worry, my main body has things to do, but my shadow will go with you.

Traveling with someone, you should be relieved now.

However, don't pin your hopes on my help. To avoid any unnecessary accidents or changes, I will shield myself from everything, become an inanimate object, and become a tool on your body.

This Dice is made of [Prosperity] wood. When crushed, it will merge with the [Prosperity] Divinity. I will hide it within the Divinity until you reach that world, and then reappear as Cheng Shi complete all the 'history' I have experienced."

"No!"

As soon as Cheng Shi finished speaking, Zhang Jizu shook his head with a solemn expression.

"That's too risky. With our current capabilities, we could easily use a puppet-like method to simulate everything Cheng Dashi has done."

Unless absolutely necessary, you'd better not leave this world.

The True Universe is dangerous.

Cheng Shi had anticipated that Squinty Old Zhang would say that. He smiled and looked at Old Zhang, asking:

"Wouldn't the True Universe be in danger if you swapped places with another version of myself?"

Zhang Jizu was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes and said, "My life is insignificant, but you... are Predestination."

Cheng Shi smiled and shook his head:

"No, everyone's life is important, and I understand the importance of Predestination things, but that should not be a reason to tie our hands and feet."

As I just said, different Slice Universe are already intertwined. If I don't personally get involved, how can I guarantee that this fire will be passed on?

Besides...

You might think this is sophistry, but what I'm trying to say is, is it possible that we must go through this situation Predestination there's a path forward?

"..."

"..."

"..."

One sentence silenced all the Clown.

When it comes to sophistry, who can outwit Fool's Game?

If you insist on linking the future of the world to these Nothingness and unrealistic things, who can refute you?

Zhen Xin seemed to see Cheng Shi scene of Cheng Shi saying goodbye to her again, and she sighed helplessly:

"Letting you be yourself doesn't mean letting you constantly court disaster."

Have you ever thought about what would happen if...?

"No!"

Cheng Shi's answer was resolute.

Everyone's expression was solemn, thinking that Cheng Shi had another trick up his sleeve. Only Zhen Xin knew that Cheng Shi's trick was none other than their Lord of Grace who had faked his death and escaped!

Whether the Clown's insistence on personally Passing the Flame is due to some messy worldly entanglement... is hard to say, but he definitely wants to go to the True Universe to find [Deception].

Thinking of this, Zhen Xin sighed again and said nothing more. She felt that no one could stop Cheng Shi Shicheng from going.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Cheng Shi smiled and said:

Don't worry, someone will bring me back.

You must have faith in Predestination, for he has never lost his way in the whirlpool of Destiny.

Really!

Hearing this, Zhen Xin finally felt relieved.

A few days later, the date for meeting with Jie Shu was finally set.

Although Jie Shu had always taken the plan seriously, he hadn't been in a hurry, which gave the Clowns time to prepare.

Until the confused Mo Shu "rediscovered the meaning of life", the disappeared Zhao Xishi reappeared before everyone, and Su Yida, who was constantly improving himself, finally affirmed his strength... everything fell into place, and the plan began.

According to the plan that Su Yida Memory Jie Shu had described:

They need a [Memory] Believer to find the "path" they came from, and then a [Annihilation] Believer to erode the thickness of the World Barrier so that the Jie Shu can use their skills to construct passages for the Master of Trickery to leave this starry Starry Sky.

The reason why the Master of Trickery must be sent is because a theory called the Spacetime Trace Linkage Method" ([Folly]") can locate similar worlds through the connection between two life forms.

Therefore, Su Yida became the chosen one to carry out the assassination plan, because Cheng Shi, whom he had met, was the weakest.

If the assassination succeeds, the Master of Trickery must bring Cheng Shi's body back and hand it over to Jie Shu to construct a more stable spacetime tunnel so that everyone can escape this world and go to a utopia without Cheng Shi.

I can hear every word clearly in my Memory, but when they're put together, no one can understand them.

However, it's not a big problem. Jie Shu is about to face is a True God, a candidate for True God, a Predestination Cosmos, and... an Acrobat.

Even if you don't understand, improvising on the spot is enough.

And so, Su Yida, played by Long Jing, swaggered up to Long Jing, accompanied by Jie Shu, played by the Dragon King.
