There is no answer in the Cosmos...

Indeed, from Cheng Shi's perspective, there is no answer in the Cosmos.

Having experienced so many twists and turns, learned so much truth, and made so many speculations... if Cheng Shi, before Proxy the [Covenant], was still hesitant about his final conjecture, now he can almost be certain that he has seen through the essence of the universe.

Not just the essence of Slice Universe, but also... the essence of the True Universe.

But he dared not tell anyone else about it, because he always remembered [Time] words. "Believe because of faith."

He feared that if this conjecture were made public, he would lose the basis for being trusted.

So before, he didn't even dare to look at Wei Mu too much, for fear that a single glance would reveal something to the other party. But now, knowing that Wei Mu is the Divine Authority of [Folly], it means that the Little Puppet representing the Old Gods will no longer accompany them into the next era, if the next era exists.

So today, Cheng Shi has finally found someone who can "see" the world clearly and someone who can communicate with him.

The secret he had kept hidden in his heart for so long finally found a place to be revealed.

Before long, a dazzling array of stars rose in the surrounding Void. The [Covenant] Proxy exerted its power, shackled this Starry Sky, and prevented the Cosmos from hearing its voice again.

Then, he let out a long breath, his shoulders relaxing as if an endless burden had been lifted, and he lowered his head, mocking himself:

"At first, I just wanted to find a glimmer of possibility for this world."

I had just experienced that False Curtain Call, and I told you these things then; you should remember.

Wei Mu certainly remembered, and not only did he remember, but after finding his true "self," he also rediscovered countless details from that False Curtain Call.

[Deception] deduced his identity at that time and used this Memory to inform Wei Mu that He had not lost in the game of seeking the Divine Authority [Folly].

But that's not the key point. The most important thing is that Wei Mu remembered those fleeting eyes at the end of that Change!

That's why he said [Deception] delivered the best possible answer within its capabilities.

But Wei Mu didn't say anything at that moment; he just quietly looked into Cheng Shi's eyes.

He knew that this Lord Foolish Play who dragged the world forward was under too much pressure and needed to confide in someone and vent his frustrations. Besides himself, there was probably no one else in the Cosmos who was a suitable candidate.

To put it bluntly and realistically, only those who must have perished in the old era and whose Predestination relationships were not particularly close could be qualified for this position.

Those who support the "[Death]" and "[Silence]" Fear Faction are not suited to listening to Predestination complaints, and Cheng Shi will not let his own emotions affect those who silently support him.

Therefore, an absolutely neutral, absolutely calm, absolutely rational, and "all-knowing" [Folly] Puppet becomes the best confidant.

Wei Mu was undoubtedly wise; he knew that in this outpouring of emotions, he could only listen and not comment, because he had accepted the identity of the Divine Authority of [Folly], and naturally needed to avoid polluting the Predestination order with his own will.

And so, [Folly] once again turned to [Silence].

"I feel incredibly lost about what lies ahead. Nobody knows what [Deception] is doing, and it never tells me. [Time] doesn't have time to pay attention to me either."

The uncertainty of the future made it difficult for me to move forward. In desperation, I had to find a solution myself, and it was then that an idea came to me:

Conduct an Experiment, an Experiment that will foreshadow the future!

"Speaking of which, the inspiration for this Experiment actually came from you."

Cheng Shi looked up with a complicated expression, seemingly looking at Wei Mu in front of him, but his somewhat empty gaze seemed to pass directly through Wei Mu and look into the endless Nothingness.

"Do you remember the Experiment you conducted in Dolgo D that simulated the Dagger of Stars for Afros?"

Based on time kink, the time length in the Experiment is extended, and Truth is measured across time in this way.

Inspired by this, I wanted to construct a similar Experiment, except that the Experiment matter would no longer be the Yuanmu Town where only two gods took turns playing their game, but rather...

A real world where sixteen gods reign supreme and bestow upon Mortals a [Faith Game]!

That's right, I want to bring everything in front of me into the Experiment, simulate the predicament I'm facing, and let the version of myself in the Experiment explore all the possibilities that I didn't have time to realize.

I've even come up with an Experiment plan for this:

The [Truth Ritual] is still in my hands. I only need enough Experiment materials to reconstruct the current world, and I have already obtained 'enough' materials;

The Dragon King has also taken over the responsibility of [Memory]. All I need to do is have him extract my Memory and anchor them as the background of the world. Then, Cheng Shi in the Experiment will enter a similar predicament as I have.

Then, I simply had my friends act out the gods who still exist today. They were close enough to them, and some of them had even become them, so they were able to portray them well and give me some vague and uncertain guidance in the Experiment.

That's enough, because the guidance I've received has never been clear.

After that, I could stay outside the Experiment Field, stretching out the time as much as possible, and then observe again and again how my other self was searching for his future.

I know this is cruel for Cheng Shi in the Experiment, but I have no other choice.

I have no time, and the world has no time.

I will reconstruct this world countless times, awakening him again and again with each of his failures. His struggles are my struggles, and his Unyielding is my Unyielding.

I want to use this to gain insight into the so-called future...

By this point, Cheng Shi's voice was hoarse, and the smile on Wei Mu's face gradually disappeared.

Cheng Shi staggered back a few steps, his self-deprecating smile growing wider and wider.

He cried and laughed at the same time:

"It's funny, this Experiment to foresee the future hasn't even started yet, but I seem to have already foreseen the future."

When I returned from the True Universe for the third time, and was [Deception] thrown into that terrifying Space-Time Storm, witnessing the merciless Creator destroy another world, I wondered, who could be so indifferent to the beings in the Experiment, and why [*He] was so eager to create one new Experiment after another...

Countless questions plagued me, countless doubts dragged me down, I was confused and could only exhaust my brainpower to think and understand.

In that instant, I suddenly thought of myself.

In that upcoming Experiment to Cheng Shi the future, I felt the same ruthlessness and eagerness I had for Experiment...

At that moment, an immense fear engulfed me.
