Praise the Great... Destiny!
Cheng Shi's body jerked violently, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
As he withdrew his hand, the oppressive feeling emanating from the aura of [Nothingness] gradually dissipated, and the Dice of Destiny flipped back to 6.
"..."
Cheng Shi looked embarrassed and gave a polite smile.
He stared at the unfamiliar "6" for a long time, and finally sighed before extending his hand in resignation.
But the direction this hand was reaching towards...
Still Mask!
The terrifying pressure that had just disappeared rose up again, and the Dice rolled back to 1!
Seeing the Cheng Shi was turning against him, Cheng Shi immediately withdrew his hand, and the immense pressure that hadn't yet pressed in dissipated once again...
But the Dice didn't flip back over for quite a while.
Until... Cheng Shi tentatively took a step in its direction, it "reluctantly" and slowly jumped back to 6 o'clock.
But this time, along with the Dice, the untouchable Mask also Change.
The illusory image of the Mask twitched and struggled twice before gradually dissipating into Nothingness in Cheng Shi's vision.
It disappeared.
Only one Dice remained on the scene.
Cheng Shi stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
"..."
Damn, you're not even going to pretend anymore, huh?
He was utterly speechless at a certain "He", yet he also greatly admired "He".
To be fair, He really is very patient.
Put yourself in their shoes. If you were the "god" watching this place, and a Clown was repeatedly "teasing" you, what awaited the Clown would not be your compromise and forgiveness, but destruction and rage.
Therefore, He is truly very patient.
But even the most patient person will eventually lose patience. What will He do then?
Is there really no other way?
Do I really have to become an Oathbreaker?
Does one's so-called Lord of Grace truly not care at all?
Aren't you going to come and save your poor Believer?
If someone poachs such a hardworking and capable employee like me, your company's performance will drop by half.
Cheng Shi kept cursing his Lord of Grace in his heart, his mind racing, but after thinking for a while, an absurd idea suddenly popped into his head:
Ah?
My Lord of Grace, you don't mean to send me to be an undercover agent for [Destiny], do you?
Given the nature of Deception, it's not impossible...
Cheng Shi's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.
Alright, alright, since you have no objections, what objections could I possibly have?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he resigned himself to this "Predestination" Destiny.
He had no choice and no other option.
So he resigned himself to his fate.
Cheng Shi straightened his clothes, calmed his emotions, adjusted his breathing, and then walked solemnly and calmly to the Dice of Destiny, extending his hand toward the Predestination 6.
It seems the dust is finally settling.
However, to everyone's surprise, just as Cheng Shi's hand was halfway towards the Dice, his nervous, slightly trembling hand suddenly changed direction and turned towards the Mask for the third time!
Even if there are no more Mask there!
But he still reached out!
Once, twice, but not a third time. After changing his mind three times, someone finally got angry.
The boundless pressure that had dissipated at the Path of Fate's Beginning erupted in full force, surging from every corner of space toward the Clown who had toyed with Him.
The Dice of Destiny rolled back to 1, and that striking number 1, like a cold, raised brow, revealed the endless rage in His heart!
When a god is angry, the heavens and earth change color!
Cheng Shi instantly felt a pull from the depths of his soul and Annihilation from the disintegration of his body!
Irreversible death seemed imminent, yet Cheng Shi appeared utterly fearless; in fact, he was even smiling.
Yes, he's still smiling.
At this moment, Cheng Shi, facing imminent death, was like a madman who had succeeded in his evil scheme, laughing maniacally and unrestrainedly.
Because at this critical moment between life and death, this Believer of "Deception," this annoying Clown, this "blasphemous" player, actually reached out with lightning speed and grabbed the Dice with the 1 point facing up in front of him!
"..."
At that very moment, the oppressive aura that filled the entire space instantly froze.
This incredibly angry punch seemed to have suddenly lost its target, and it just froze in place.
Cheng Shi, disregarding his disheveled appearance, he laughed loudly with his mouth full of blood:
"Hahaha!
Hahahaha!
It's not that I don't want to pick up this Dice, it's just...
I still prefer it the way it was!
As he spoke, he held up the Dice in his hand, pointing to the number 1, and presented it to the "god".
"..."
This was undoubtedly another provocative act of "blasphemy," yet the one being blasphemed remained completely silent.
The Cheng Shi raised the Dice of Destiny, everything around the Path of Fate's Beginning receded like a tide.
Space is collapsing, Void is emerging.
The Cheng Shi -black Void reappeared beneath Cheng Shi's feet, and above his head, pairs of eyes painted with stars and spirals once again appeared.
However, this time, those eyes, which were so familiar, looked quite unfamiliar.
Because He never smiles, because He is utterly Indifference.
[Destiny]!
He has finally arrived...
Insulting someone to their face is obviously different from gossiping behind their back. When those eyes opened in front of Cheng Shi stiffly withdrew his hand, and greeted his "new Lord of Grace" with an awkward smile:
"Praise... the great... uh..."
[Destiny]..."
Those enormous Starry Sky eyes remained Indifference. They glanced at Cheng Shi without any joy or sorrow, making no move, only giving a cold "hmm".
However, this emotionless "hmm" undoubtedly proclaimed to the world that He had accepted the "prodigal son who has returned" Believer before Him.
Ah?
No!
Cheng Shi was stunned.
He didn't find the soft hum of "Destiny" devoid of emotion at all; in fact, he felt that this soft "hmm" was no different from celestial music playing, with the stars resonating in harmony!
Why does He... seem not angry at all?
Cheng Shi blinked, quickly reviewing his previous actions in his mind. Could such a provocative and blasphemous act be wiped clean just because he picked up the Dice?
What kind of attitude is this... what kind of magnanimity is this! What kind of tolerance is this!
No wonder Destiny embraces everything, no wonder Destiny forgives all beings!
Ah! Praise be to Destiny!
This time it's from the bottom of my heart!
As Cheng Shi's expression changed from "resistance" to "slight piety," the Indifference corners of his eternally unchanging eyes seemed to soften a little.
Cheng Shi blinked, thinking he had misread it, but just then, He spoke.
"Cheng, Shi".
"Yes," Cheng Shi replied, bowing his head obediently.
"Now, do you recognize your Lord of Grace?"
"..."
This familiar conversation reminded Cheng Shi of his first experience of dying in the Void.
You're quite vengeful...
But it was me who died that time! It was me!!
Thinking of this, he nodded speechlessly and said:
"About...?"
Deep down, I was scared, but I was extremely stubborn.
Fortunately, He showed no displeasure, but stared at Cheng Shi and said again:
"Why do you not smile when you meet your Lord of Grace?"
"..."
