The Boomerang Thrown into the Void Would Eventually Strike Its Thrower
The appearance of [Birth] was indeed to save the Believer of [Destiny].
But at that time, did He already foresee that He would become His Believer?
So, your Destiny was already decided long after that Trials of "Destiny"?
He had foreseen this scene long ago, and subsequently laid various foreshadowings for his breaking of his vow...
That's why that game happened!
Ha, ha ha ha ha!
Cheng Shi suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with emotion and bitterness.
He was laughing at himself.
So this is Destiny.
Just when you think you've conquered it and written a brand new story, you unexpectedly discover at the end of the story that... even the process of conquering it had already been written by it.
So compromise, compromise... What is compromise, and who compromises with whom?
Perhaps I have no right to compromise, and the one who needs to compromise is probably my former Lord of Grace, [the Deception].
In this game played by the gods, Deception was definitely involved, and the price He offered was to "sell" Himself.
As for what the harvest will be... who can guess?
But then again, besides "buying" itself in that game, what other benefits did "Destiny" actually gain?
They probably wouldn't dare ask that question.
[Destiny] seemed to have noticed Cheng Shi's question, but there was no answer in His Indifference eyes.
Cheng Shi remained silent for a long time, his thoughts drifting further and further away. He didn't know what he was thinking, but among his chaotic thoughts, one idea grew louder and louder:
I'm probably not cheap... Even if I were sold, I don't want to be a cheap piece of trash!
My Lord of Grace, how cruel you are!
No, [Deception], how cruel you are!
You really did make all of this happen!
How could you be so heartless as to push a dutiful, hardworking, and low-key employee to a competitor's company!
And you, [Destiny]! You...
You have excellent taste!
He shook his head and smiled wryly. Amidst such complex emotions, he suddenly felt less nervous. Looking at his new Lord of Grace, whose expression also carried a hint of "humanity," Cheng Shi let out a heavy breath and asked loudly:
"My Lord of Grace, I want to know, what did [Deception] gain in this game?"
Is it just for fun?
His eyes remained fixed on Cheng Shi, his cold tone laced with mockery.
He never won.
I told you, you don't need to pay any more attention to him.
"..."
Why are you in such a hurry?
Cheng Shi pursed his lips, no longer dwelling on the topic, and instead asked a different question:
"That... that [Birth]..."
"Hmm? You're still interested in [Birth]?" His words were interrupted again. His eyes stared at Cheng Shi without any joy or sorrow, and he coldly uttered a sentence that shocked Cheng Shi to the core. "Don't be deceived by His lies. Humans and gods cannot share the Divine Authority [Birth]."
"!!??"
Ah?
No... huh?
Cheng Shi was stunned; his mind was buzzing, and he stood there dumbfounded.
My Lord of Grace, do you know what you're saying?
Don't you ever think before you speak? You're supposed to be "Destiny"! How come your words sound like Deception, completely nonsensical!?
When did I ever want to share the Divine Authority of Birth with God?
Who exactly told you that I wanted to share the Divine Authority of Birth with God?
How come everyone knows what I did? In what way did my former Lord of Grace talk about me among the gods?
Don't I have any pride?!
Cheng Shi took several deep breaths to catch his breath. He looked at those eyes with a strange expression and made his statement clearer.
What I want to say is that I have a friend...
"He said that what comes from nothing is himself."
?
Who was it that just said not to be deceived by His lies?
Are you a goldfish with Memory that only lasts 7 seconds?
"No, I do have a friend..."
"He also said that denial is a cover-up."
"..."
Cheng Shi was stunned. He simply couldn't understand how "Destiny" could say such cute things in such an extremely Indifference tone.
He looked into those enormous eyes and seemed to see the shadow of Deception in the endless, Nothingness void.
That swirling spiral seems to be filled with an entanglement with [Deception].
Are you a mimicry monster?
Why is it that He says everything?
[Destiny] Ah, where is your cold and ruthless persona... it's about to fall off completely.
"Lord of Grace lord, may I finish what I have to say?"
His Indifference eyes shifted slightly, and he gave a heavy "hmm".
"What I really want to know is whether my friend Hu Xuan has become His Emissary."
"Destiny is constantly Change, and I cannot make any predictions before the outcome of the battle with time is decided."
But I have shown the way forward for [Birth], so whether He can protect His child depends on Himself."
"..."
That's as good as saying nothing; riddle maker, get out of Void!
Cheng Shi sighed and decided to ask something practical.
"Since [Birth] saved me, it means you foresaw the outcome of the Trials. Then I have another question:"
Why must the Order execute me?
He narrowed his eyes for a moment, then uttered an answer that shook Cheng Shi to his core:
"He is not [Order]."
"!!!!!"
What is that?
If He is not "Order," then who is He?
Although the Adjudicator in that courtroom was not the [Order] himself, players unanimously believe that he is still one of the embodiments of His will.
But if Destiny is not wrong... then what about Order?
Where did it go? Could it have been switched?!
Before Cheng Shi could voice the questions that flooded his mind, [Destiny] suddenly stopped him.
"These are things you shouldn't be hearing now."
Well, that's all for today.
Remember to change your temperament; don't be as impulsive and rash as He is.
As he spoke, his eyes closed slightly, and a gust of wind instantly swept through the Void, blowing Cheng Shi's consciousness back to reality before he could react.
?
What happened? We were having a good chat just now, how did it end so abruptly?
Who is being so impulsive?
Cheng Shi disappeared with a belly full of doubts, and at the very moment he vanished, another pair of identical eyes opened in his place.
"Huh, I'm late?"
The first pair of eyes narrowed in displeasure and glanced coldly at the second pair of eyes.
"The aura of the [Iron Rule of Order]... Did you just go looking for trouble with Him?"
"I've disliked Him for a long time. We even had a fight when we bumped into each other. I didn't expect that after all these years, He's still so useless."
The first pair of eyes twitched slightly, but didn't reply. A moment later, however, it fixed its gaze on the second pair of eyes and asked coldly:
Why have you come?
"Tch, some little swindler has betrayed his Faith, so I'm here to teach him a lesson."
What, do you intend to violate the [Covenant] and grant him protection?
"Yes."
"?" The second pair of eyes blinked frantically, thinking it had misheard. "What did you say? You actually want to break the [Covenant] to protect a small... player?"
"If necessary, I may choose not to comply with the Covenant."
But there's one thing I need to remind you: he is now my Believer, and is about to break the [Covenant]...
It's you.
"... Is he really that good?"
Why have you come?
"..."
[Deception] laughed in anger; He suddenly felt that [Destiny] before Him was very unfamiliar.
"You've changed."
"Destiny is constantly Change."
"... Okay, not bad, very good."
But you don't think that this means I'll be powerless to do anything about him, do you?
My... dear sister?
The first pair of eyes narrowed, and the voice was like an eternal, deathly Nothingness.
"You want to break our agreement?"
"By saying that, aren't you also hastening his breaking of his vow?"
If you can take shortcuts, why can't I?
As soon as he finished speaking, a biting, icy Frigid Wind suddenly swept through the Void!
"What have you been doing behind my back again?"
Hehe~
You guess?"
