Character side story: Wei Mu · The most candid folly

When did you discover that there was a problem with your identity?

Have you learned the truth behind the False Curtain Call?

Did they deduce the [Deception] God Creation Plan?

Or was it when Cheng Shi said, "I need you"?

No, it seems none of those are true. Up until then, Wei Mu himself was also wondering what kind of future [Deception] would bring to the world.

He saw the "ending," but he couldn't see the path leading to it. He didn't know how [Deception] and [Time] could fool the invincible [Origin], so he remained interested in the future.

Undeniably, for a [Folly] Believer, expectation is also a kind of Foolish Deed. But since even the [Folly] can have Foolish Deed, it seems not unacceptable that His Believer embrace Foolish Deed.

Wei Mu truly realized that there was something wrong with his identity at the Audience Assembly with [Folly].

While other Peak Player of Faith had their audiences fulfilled, [Folly] did not appear. Thus, what was supposed to be an audience with the Lord of Grace gradually evolved into a listening session for [Folly]' s Believer to pay homage to Wei Mu.

Wei Mu answered several questions for everyone from a perspective detached from worldly affairs, and then he disappeared from everyone's sight, his whereabouts unknown.

Those familiar with Wei Mu at this point should be able to guess that he had already discovered the clues and gone to the Void to surround [Folly].

The way to spot the clues is also very simple, even quite basic.

Imagine:

The attendees at the Audience Assembly were deities and Believer. Since the Believer were present, where were the deities?

[The Faith Game] told the world from the beginning that the Audience Assembly eventually take place. Yes, [Folly] could disdain the wisdom of Mortals and thus not descend upon this place. But if He truly did not wish to summon Believer, why would He agree to include the Audience Assembly in the rules of [The Faith Game]?

Mortals, unaware of the truth, might guess that [Folly] had never agreed, but Wei Mu understood [Folly] too well. He knew that if the Audience Assembly truly forced upon him by the gods despite [Folly]' s refusal, then in the past, this Foolish Deed would have been scorned by [Folly] thousands upon thousands of times.

But [Folly] did not; He never despised anything related to the Audience Assembly, which means He would attend the Audience Assembly. [Folly] would hold a grand gathering with His Believer about "Folly."

Wei Mu never expected that this "Folly"... would actually be himself.

The question remains: if both the "deity" and the Believer are present, in that sharing session where one person speaks and everyone listens, who will be the unexpected "deity"?

The answer is obvious.

It can only be myself!

But I am clearly just Mortals, how could I possibly be a god?

This might not be realistic for other Faith, but for [Folly]... don't forget, [Folly] has no Divine Authority; He has lost His Divine Authority.

So, what is the connection between "gods" and Divine Authority?

At that moment, Wei Mu understood everything and blocked [Deception] in the Void, who was concealing his identity to end [Folly].

He stepped forward, presented himself before [Folly], and questioned Him:

"My Lord of Grace, do you still need your Divine Authority?"

[Folly] told him:

"A new era is about to begin, and your Foolish Deed will also arrive."

Do you think your Foolish Deed will be answered?

Wei Mu fell silent. He pondered for a long time before finally connecting the clues of the entire game. Thanks to his self-awareness of his Divine Authority, he thought much more this time than before.

He suddenly recalled his first Trials and thought of the stone mirror that obscured his own vision.

In terms of the concept of subtraction, when [Folly] gives you the simplest Trials, it has already cut off all the extraneous parts for you, and even put the answer in front of you.

Initially, Wei Mu believed the answer was Faith, and indeed, Faith is one of the answers, but it is not the whole story.

The people of Secco Town believe they should be more "beautiful," and this perception, when reflected in Wei Mu, might mean that you should be more intelligent.

In this way, the meaning that [Folly] is trying to express becomes obvious:

You are not truly yourself, but rather a wiser Divine Authority of [Folly], therefore you should be wiser.

After figuring all this out, Wei Mu saw the world clearly—no, he should say he saw the Predestination.

He put himself in that Predestination perspective and finally understood why [Folly] kept saying that there were no answers in the Cosmos.

Indeed, due to its Predestination existence, the Cosmos will never have an answer.

However, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of this Predestination existence that the Cosmos has the opportunity to find the answer; if this opportunity were not even available, then the Cosmos would be committing the greatest Foolish Deed.

Having come to understand himself, Wei Mu began to take over the witness of [Folly], no, to embrace Foolish Deed.

The first thing he did was try to confirm whether the True Universe actually exists.

If the Cosmos is Nothingness, is it possible that the True Universe is also Nothingness?

He had never ventured into the True Universe, and all his understanding of it came from Predestination notions. Naturally, he dared not make any rash judgments. It was for this reason that he abducted Su Yida from the Clown.

And it was at that moment that he saw the "truth".

When the Jie Shu appeared before him in a way that traced back to its source, all his Foolish Deed was explained.

If Su Yida's existence is the thread connecting countless Slice Universe, then the existence of Jie Shu is undoubtedly the needle that guides that thread into each universe. The needle and thread never interweave on their own; only the person who manipulates the needle and thread can use them in the right place.

But where does the needlework begin, and when does it end?

Wei Mu didn't know.

So he found out.

There is no answer in the Cosmos.

Wei Mu, [Folly] Divine Authority, Behind-the-Scenes Puppeteer, [Folly].
