Chain Reaction

Zhen Yi felt that she had been tricked by the Blind Man.

She managed to distance herself from everyone with a single truth, but in the end, she still couldn't find that so-called future.

This infuriated her.

But what's even more infuriating is that her sister also tricked her.

She didn't know what Memory Zhen Xin had taken from her mind, which made her feel like she had forgotten something quite important.

She wanted to ask Blind Man for help with her divination, but the Blind Man had disappeared.

They never include me in their games!

Why should I?!

I'm so cute!

Zhen Yi was furious, so she decided to go to her "friends" to confide in them about her loneliness.

However, when she was assigned to a Trials full of "friends," she found that her "friends" did not seem to be looking at her with friendly eyes.

"Hey, bald guy, what's with that look?"

Do you think of me that much?

Could it be that she's fallen in love with me?

The long-haired Baldy Uses Pantene chuckled, and instead of answering her, asked:

"Is the fruit sweet?"

?

Zhen Yi raised an eyebrow.

What kind of fruit?

What's so sweet about it?

What great show did I miss?

Memory?

Could it be the part of the Memory that my sister took?

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and even though she didn't know what the bald man was talking about, she still accepted it with a smile.

Because that's Zhen Yi; she'll never let anyone guess her, and she'll never let the conversation fall flat.

"It's sweet, just like our first encounter."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a wooden spear covered in long spikes came whistling from afar and pierced straight into Zhen Yi's chest.

Unable to dodge in time, Zhen Yi clutched her chest, vomiting blood, and cried with a wronged expression.

"Bald guy, don't you love me anymore?"

"..."

The Baldy Uses Pantene, taking several deep breaths to suppress his annoyance.

She slapped the small hand off her shoulder, turned to look at the other Zhen Yi standing behind her, and said:

"Let me beat you up first, so I can go easy on you in the group fight later."

"?"

Zhen Yi's small eyes were filled with great confusion, but before she could ask a question, a barrage of light crashed down like a meteor shower, turning the entire plain where she stood into scorched earth.

"You bastard, I'll make you suffer!"

"Hey you, surnamed Zhen, don't you dare run away!"

"Keep lying, keep lying!"

"Hehe~"

Ignoring her disheveled appearance, Zhen Yi ran while letting out a silvery laugh.

"Keep pushing, you're almost catching up with me!"

Haha, it's still more fun to be with "friends".

Today...

I'm so happy!

High above in the distant Void, inside the stark white Fishbone Hall.

Countless boisterous cheers echoed below the hall, and countless sharp praises floated in the Void.

The enormous skull, seated Bone Throne, had been flashing green light in its eyes ever since.

The man seemed to be very happy, and the bone servants of the Fishbone Hall also seemed very happy.

As for the reason for being happy...

Naturally, this was because a brand-new White Bone Flood had appeared before the hall, cascading like a waterfall.

Yes, in His temple, a waterfall of foreign bones appeared.

All the skulls in this waterfall were donated by His "employee".

No, calling it a tribute might not be quite right; it should be said that this is repaying previous debts, along with the interest on those debts.

However, the amount of interest is rather excessive.

The reason for all of this is actually not complicated.

It was that employee who sent the bone servant to deliver the message, bringing with him a precise time and accurate Void coordinates.

Then, this audacious employee actually dared to make his "boss" personally retrieve the Sacrifice he owed.

This demand, which borders on blasphemy, is something I do not wish to address.

But when He thought of His employee's Lord of Grace, and of that unreasonable, Deception who only came to vandalize, He reluctantly agreed.

But when His gaze fell upon that coordinate and that point in time, He realized just how big a surprise His employee, who "only knew how to buy on credit," had prepared for Him.

He actually offered the deaths of countless Believer the Chaos as Sacrifice to himself.

But even with so many Sacrifice, death wouldn't be so joyful.

But if these Sacrifice were meant to be presented by the Believer of [Annihilation] to [Annihilation], they have now been intercepted by Him...

Thinking about it this way, even if the skull had no flesh, His lips would still be unable to hold back his smile.

The conflict of Faith involves many aspects, and whichever side gains the upper hand first is the greatest mockery to the other side.

The enormous skull silently admired the fresh White Bone Flood, and then thought of the "part-time" donor.

He suddenly felt that bestowing His creation upon this employee seemed...

It's not a losing proposition.

"Cheng, Shi"

Very good!"

Cheng Shi finally returned to the familiar rooftop.

When his "lovely" warehouse came into view, he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the rooftop.

This is too difficult. I've never had Trials as tough as this Trials before.

The hardest part is not fighting against history or Destiny, but fighting against teammates who are exceptionally strong yet have different intentions.

The lower-level Trials emphasize cooperation; if players are not strong enough, they can only overcome the challenges by working together.

However, the situation is different in the high-score range. With sufficient strength and confidence, everyone is working hard silently for the "path" they want to take. It is this tug-of-war between different directions that makes a Trials that should not be so complicated extremely difficult.

Cheng Shi silently reviewed everything that happened in these two Trials, trying to find clues related to the compromise with [Destiny] by peeling back the layers.

He thought about it a lot, for a long time, but still came up with nothing.

Because he discovered that although "Destiny" permeated the whole situation in a mysterious way, it never compromised with any of its members.

The Conjugate Whisper yielded no results; the Grand Scholar died with his eyes wide open in dismay; the fruit and petals "disappeared without a trace"; and the Believer in the "chaos" gained nothing.

Almost no one changed course within the Predestination historical Destiny.

This suffocating sense of Despair made Cheng Shi realize even more clearly what the word "Predestination" meant.

Is it possible that I have no chance of compromising with Him at all?

Was this Trials His way of telling Him that asking for "forgiveness" from a "god" was a pipe dream?

Destiny, please don't be so cruel!

He lay on the ground, gazing up at the dazzling sun, and couldn't help but wonder if Destiny, like the sun, mercilessly "shines" upon everyone in the world, and perhaps the only way to avoid it is...

Hidden in the shadows.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi raised his hand and shielded his eyes.

However, this attempt to cover his face caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

?

No!

Where is my shadow?
