Mingyu was missing

Zhen Xin did not give Cheng Shi time to answer; she continued:

"The History School is actively collecting discussion content from various channels. By carefully analyzing the complex exchanges, it is not difficult to summarize some of the consensus reached by the players."

In particular, regarding some conclusions concerning the [Origin], they not only knew about the [Origin], but also about what was Predestination!

However, they did not know who the Predestination one was. They had only heard that the [Faith Game] existed in order to create a Sacrifice to please [Origin], and the Predestination one was that Sacrifice.

Unfortunately, after the Audience Assembly, the gods' offerings failed, their established Predestination were denied by the [Origin], and the entire world was abandoned as a result.

As the Top Rank on the Path to Godhood, Wei Mu personally appeared and admitted that the Sacrifice should have been his, but he was Predestination by someone else, which caused the world to lose the attention of the [Origin] and become Abandoned Star.

The gods either fell or departed, and they deemed this planet worthless, so the [Faith Game] also ceased.

The players were extremely indignant and terrified. They didn't know the cause and effect, and perhaps the source of the rumors didn't even have a cause and effect. They only knew one thing: [Origin] had abandoned this Starry Sky!

Thinking about the plan Wei Mu mentioned, I wondered, could this be... the future of the world?

So do you think it's possible that this was a backup plan Wei Mu left for us after he left?

Wei Mu's backup plan?

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he shook his head.

No, with Wei Mu's wisdom, he absolutely knew that the future of the world was in the hands of the Predestination, and only the Predestination could guide the direction of the world.

This is also why the Fear Faction Gods refuse to corrupt the Predestination will; they can only offer vague hints, allowing all decisions to come from their Predestination nature.

At first, Cheng Shi didn't understand, but now he does. If the Predestination Cheng Shi is indeed the [Origin], and if the future is truly an Experiment, then it seems that only the Predestination can break the deadlock.

Seeing Cheng Shi shake his head, Zhen Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she said:

"Actually, I also think it's impossible; I have another guess in my mind."

We know best who Wei Mu is. After Wei Mu left Believer, very few people could play the role of him. Even if there were, they would only be a few [Deception] and [Folly] Believer.

You've already rounded up the top swindlers, and I can't even fathom the motives behind the rest; [Folly] is even worse, even if those ahead of the Ladder of Audience knew they weren't as good as Wei Mu, they would never have committed such laughable Foolish Deed.

It seems no one has a motive to do all this, except for one person.

Without hesitation, Cheng Shi replied, "Sun Miao."

Zhen Xin nodded emphatically:

"That's right, it's Vice President Sun."

He disappeared, and with him, the Hope's Flame was extinguished.

The Hope's Flame is inextricably linked to [Deception]. Its disappearance at this time makes it hard not to wonder if it was a contingency plan left for us by [Deception] after its departure!

If so, it is highly likely that He took Sun Miao away, and Sun Vice President [Folly] Believer is an absolute advantage in impersonating Wei Mu.

The Hope's Flame belongs to both [Destiny] and [Deception]. It can conceal the Fire Keeper, and naturally it can also allow Vice President Sun to deceive Mortals.

Therefore, our most urgent task is to find Hope's Flame, so that we can...

Before Zhen Xin could finish speaking, Cheng Shi chuckled and said:

"Magician, you seem a little nervous. At this point, what is there left for you to hide from me?"

After saying all that, is it really just to find Hope's Flame?

Yes, I know we must find the Hope's Flame. Even if we don't know what's happening among the players, the direction of the Hope's Flame is related to the future of the world and the Fire Keeper. But I remember you weren't in such a hurry back then.

Tell me, what happened that I don't know?"

"..."

This is Cheng Shi.

Even though he had no Divine Authority, he could still see through a person's heart, and Zhen Xin wore her heart on her sleeve.

She had to be in a hurry because...

Mingyu is missing.

"?" Cheng Shi was taken aback.

Zhen Xin took a deep breath and said:

"She would never run away at such a sensitive time. Even if she did, I have the ability to find her now, but I couldn't. This shows that God covered for her."

The only places in the Cosmos I can't find now, besides the Sea of Desire where [Filth and Decay] resides, are the vanished Hope's Flame!

He is the 'Subgod Destiny', the creator of 'Deception', and only He can take Mingyu away.

Although I know that the Hope's Flame will never harm her, I don't want Mingyu to experience any more accidents.

Zhen Xin is right; only the Hope's Flame has sufficient reason to take the Blind Man away. Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi doesn't believe the Blind Man will suffer any mishap, after all, it's highly likely that it's her...

Cheng Shi's eyes were filled with complex emotions. After pondering for a moment, he sighed and said:

"There's something I've never told you, actually [Destiny]..."

On the other side, in Unknown Land.

The endless Crystal Expanse resembled a vast ocean, refracting a deep blue glow.

A faint flame floated ahead, dispelling the ever-approaching, engulfing power surrounding the people trudging behind.

The flames flickered and were about to go out, but thankfully, the long and arduous journey was finally over.

An Mingyu looked up and "saw" the long-unseen firelight in a depression not far away, which resembled a crystal valley.

Hope's Flame!

Despite her frail figure, the Candlelight Person could still feel the warmth emanating from the other person's body, and she continued to move closer to them.

Sensing someone approaching, the Candlelight Person quietly turned around and saw a pair of tightly closed eyes.

The black veil that had been covering her had long since fallen off during the journey, and her disheveled hair and tightly clenched lips made An Mingyu look somewhat pitiful.

The Candlelight Person stared blankly into those eyes, and after a long while, sighed with a complex tone:

"You're a pitiful person too."

An Mingyu was stunned. She never expected to hear these words from the mouth of the Hope's Flame, let alone what emotions the other person was in when they said them.

However, she didn't care. She never thought of herself as pitiful. At least she still had Xin Xin by her side and the Fate Weaver who saved her. At most, it was just a bumpy Path of Fate.

What caught her attention even more was the enormous crystal coffin behind the Candlelight Person, and the familiar yet unfamiliar figure lying inside.

An Mingyu was stunned.

"I've seen him before, what's he doing here?"

The Candlelight Person glanced back, his words carrying a hidden meaning:

"He's asleep, dreaming."

It might be a good dream, or it might be a nightmare.

But before he wakes up, no one knows what kind of dream he will face.

Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't a dream, but rather a memory from his past.

An Mingyu frowned, unsure if what the other person was saying was the same thing he was thinking. However, the only thing he was certain of was that the Hope's Flame had guided him here, and it certainly wasn't to listen to a riddle.

He is the Emissary of [Destiny], and I am the "Chosen of God" of [Destiny]. In this era at the end of a time when New God replace Old Gods, anyone can imagine what will happen at this meeting.

At this moment, An Mingyu suddenly remembered the prophecy he had made long ago:

Both she and Xin Xin will appear in the future of the Fire Keeper.

So, is this the moment the prophecy will be fulfilled?

"The Hope's Flame, you..."

"I'm fine, and you're fine too. I'm so relieved."
