Jie Shu surrounded by Clowns, Clowns trapped by Jie Shu
"You don't know?" It wasn't Long Jing himself who came out to explain, but Zhao Xishi.
"?" Jie Shu frowned. "What do you know?"
"Audience Assembly."
Upon hearing those words, a strange glint flashed in Jie Shu's eyes. "Of course I know, but I didn't participate."
"???"
Did Jie Shu not attend the Audience Assembly?
Long Jing paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "Why?"
The answer he received was not Jie Shu, but rather Zhao Xishi's.
Zhao Xishi examined the Jie Shu, a playful smile on his face.
"Why?
I guess she's afraid to see Wei Mu?
"You've chased him for so long but haven't even gotten close to Wei Mu. What if he sees through your disguise again? Your plan... shouldn't it just fall apart?"
Jie Shu caution flashed in Jie Shu's eyes, but he did not respond.
But everyone knew that Zhao Xishi had guessed correctly.
The Top Rank the Path to Godhood is so fearsome that the number two is too intimidated to attend the Audience Assembly!
Zhao Xishi chuckled twice, ceasing his Jie Shu, and began to explain for Long Jing, "I learned through special channels that a great commotion occurred at the [Deception] Audience Assembly, where a group of people were thoroughly fooled by the Fate Weaver, including this Acrobat in front of you who can only rage in vain."
The Fate Weaver impersonated him, profited from the swindlers, and then shifted all the blame onto President Gong.
So I'm not surprised to see President Gong here at all, haha, [Deception] civil war, I like it."
Was Long Jing tricked by Cheng Shi?
Jie Shu turned to look at Long Jing, only to find that the enraged President Gong had vanished and appeared behind Zhao Xishi at some point, delivering a swift chop to the Historian's neck.
"Why did you have to be so nosy?!"
Seeing that the other party acted so decisively, Jie Shu felt somewhat relieved.
Throughout history, things have been accomplished through secrecy. The fact that the Acrobat dared to enter in such a high-profile manner already cleared them of 70% of suspicion.
Those with truly ulterior motives will not put themselves in the spotlight, even if they enjoy being the center of attention, they would not choose this most sensitive time.
So Jie Shu pondered for a moment and nodded, temporarily acknowledging Long Jing's arrival, but being cautious, he would not allow Long Jing to access the key steps of the plan.
No one cared what the Wise One was thinking; everyone else was drawn to the conflict. The Historian, no less, was not one to mince words; though Singer, he was equally cunning. In an instant, the two truly clashed.
As the convener, Jie Shu neither appeased nor urged them on, but calmly watched the two argue, because he knew that as long as they had ideas about the plan, neither side would go so far as to kill the other.
The one who used lethal force is very likely to have ulterior motives.
Sure enough, after fighting for a while and realizing that neither could gain the upper hand, both sides gave up in frustration.
Long Jing pointed and muttered curses; Zhao Xishi wore a mocking expression and kept sneering.
The Master of Trickery stood silently to the side, as if everything was irrelevant to him; he was concentrating on preparing for the risks he was about to face.
As for Mo Shu, he continued to mutter "What is [Annihilation]?", but his voice was so low that it sounded like he was asking himself a question, or perhaps answering himself.
"..."
Absolutely foolish! Everyone is incredibly foolish!
Jie Shu could no longer tolerate these "teammates," and he said to Zhao Xishi in a deep voice:
"Let's begin, proceed according to plan."
You will read the Master of Trickery's Memory, find the exact coordinates of the Spacetime Singularity where I and the Master of Trickery arrived, and then the Cleaner will use those worlds that are about to be Annihilation to blast open that Void and thin the World Barrier.
Then I will open a tunnel here, passing through the Spacetime Singularity and allowing passage through the Spacetime Barrier, to send you back.
Jie Shu turned to Su Yida and said in a strange tone, "After entering the True Universe, use the methods I taught you to find the world aura with the deepest connection, infiltrate it, and find an opportunity to carry out your assassination!"
If successful, bring his body back. I will use his body to build a more stable passage for us to leave this world.
Friends, it's too difficult to find a world Fate Weaver doesn't exist; we can only create one.
With everyone working together, a bright future is just around the corner!
As for you, President Gong, you can participate, but please don't act recklessly. I don't mind bringing in another refugee, but I won't accept a reckless illegal immigrant.
The plan was explained very clearly, but when the Jie Shu was revealed, everyone present was taken aback.
Although they remained outwardly calm, their hearts were already in turmoil.
They discovered a problem with the Jie Shu; they had reviewed Su Yida's Memory, which only mentioned the method but lacked specific implementation steps!
The worst-case scenario has occurred: the method for finding the related world is most likely Jie Shu to Su Yida from outside this world.
This means that even if they escaped the world through the spacetime tunnels of the Jie Shu, they would not be able to find the target universe that needs to Passing the Flame.
For a moment, the Clowns fell silent.
They set a trap to deceive the Wise One, but he still Wise One to "trap" them here with just one sentence.
Zhao Xishi frowned slightly, immediately activating his Divine Authority to confuse the Jie Shu, and after a brief examination, he spoke directly to Cheng Shi, who was playing the Cheng Shi of Mo Shu, in front of the Wise One:
"He's not Master of Deception; what he said is true. It seems that the Jie Shu had prepared in advance."
But strangely, I always felt that he didn't seem to care whether the plan would succeed or not; it seemed like all he needed was for the Master of Trickery to take a trip to the True Universe... This feeling wasn't good.
Should we look for that method in our Memory of Jie Shu?
Everyone looked at Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi pondered for a moment and then nodded.
The Dragon King understood, stepped forward, patted Jie Shu's shoulder, frowned for a moment, and shook his head, saying:
"He was very shrewd. Most of the images Memory are of him silently thinking rather than communicating or acting. This way, I couldn't see what he was thinking or find the right approach."
Perhaps his Yi Zhen remain outside this world, where Memory are uncollected and not under the jurisdiction of [Memory].
"As expected, Wise One thinks a thousand things before he acts; he has been preparing for this for a long time."
Cheng Shi sighed, "Jie Shu's identity is definitely not simple. I always feel that his and Su Yida's arrival is very subtle. What I fear most now is that they are also a link in the entanglement between different Slice Universe. The follow-up of this plan may affect us or the next world."
After all, Su Yida's appearance represents the unveiling of the Universe Truth. Even if the Su Yida I met was not Su Yida, there is still a deep connection between them.
Finding connections...
If [Folly] can find connections, perhaps we can ask Wei Mu?
Cheng Shi turned to Zhen Xin and asked, "How long can this control him?"
Zhen Xin smiled and said:
"Forever.
The Divine Authority of the True God is not Mortals can resist, but time is meaningless. As you said, there's no time to lose. If it drags on too long, the Wise One will awaken and discover the signs, and then you won't achieve the effect you want.
Even if you have some time, do you know where to look for Wei Mu?
Cheng Shi's face darkened; he really didn't know.
Just as everyone was pondering how to respond, Long Jing, who was playing Su Yida, suddenly shuddered, stared wide-eyed at Cheng Shi, and said in disbelief:
"The Past Self in Memory..."
"???"
Cheng Shi's pupils constricted sharply. "What did you say?"
"The [Memory] talent you see in your Memory, the Past Self in Memory..."
Do you remember what Su Yida from the future said to you?
He came to our world using his Past Self in Memory, but the spacetime tunnel mentioned by the Jie Shu is clearly not a talent, so where did his Past Self in Memory go?
I've been curious until you mentioned contact...
Long Jing raised his hand, a ring lying in his palm. "I've also been in contact with you."
Everyone looked over, filled with surprise and doubt. "What is this?"
Long Jing looked up at Cheng Shi, his expression serious, and said, word by word:
The ring you gave me.
"The ring you gave me from Another World."
Cheng Shi suddenly realized something and exclaimed in bewilderment, "Blind Eye Long Jing!?"
Long Jing also learned for the first time that his other self had gone blind. He recalled Cheng Shi's evaluation of his other self: a warrior!
It seems that Long Jing was truly a brave man.
"Yes, this is the backup plan he prepared for me, but I feel that this should be my path forward!"
I just tried activating it, and then I found this in the ring.
As he spoke, Long Jing activated the ring again, displaying a Memory to everyone.
In that Memory, Cheng Shi stood on the rooftop, quietly turned around, and looked at Long Jing with a warm smile, saying:
It seems your road ahead is not easy.
But it's okay. As I said, because Long Jing is a warrior, you don't have to be that warrior.
This is a gift from [Memory] after I encountered it again in the True Universe; it's a talent that it wanted to put into the game but never had the chance to.
Past Self in Memory.
A way to find your former 'self'.
Crush this ring, and the lingering traces of [Memory] will lead you to a version of me that is still naive, a world that should not yet be embroiled in the predicament you are currently facing.
You have a significant informational advantage to plan, prepare, and strategize... There, whether you're the director behind the scenes or the actor on Stage, it's all your own choice.
But please do me a favor: please do my best to protect Cheng Shi in that world.
Bringing you to that world rashly would be irresponsible. I don't know what impact it will have on that world, but I do know that if things remain unchanged, this Experiment will only produce more versions of myself and more versions of you.
So go ahead and try, Long Jing! Believe in yourself, believe in Cheng Shi, and believe that everything will eventually create a miracle.
