Dialogue Between Nothingness

The eyes, painted with stars and spirals, looked at Cheng Shi with a half-smile, as if they could see through what Cheng Shi thinking.

To avoid being scolded, Cheng Shi quickly changed the subject.

"My Lord of Grace, when [Memory] summoned me, it said that [Time] would give me the answer, and as it turned out, [Time] truly bestowed upon me a ring."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi raised his right hand again and continued, "He also said that this was the result of your negotiation with [Time], so, did you let [Time] give me the answer?"

A barely perceptible glint of something else flashed in his eyes. He didn't answer Cheng Shi's question, but instead said in Yin-Yang tone:

"Having been blessed with the gift of Memory and the gift of time, I have never seen the two brothers gaze upon a Mortals in such a way."

Oh, I see. So you're the darling of existence.

"..."

Cheng Shi's expectant expression froze on his face. He awkwardly twitched his lips and stiffly put his raised hand behind his back.

Those eyes chuckled for a moment, then suddenly became serious:

"Time offers no answer; it is Destiny that provides the answer!"

?

[Destiny]? How come there's something about [Destiny] here? Doesn't He disagree with you?

Cheng Shi was stunned. He frowned and pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out. When he looked up again, he found that the spiral in those eyes was spinning rapidly. Clearly, under these circumstances, even if he asked again, he could only get a false answer.

Just as He said, He didn't want to share too much with Him what He was doing.

But Cheng Shi had too many doubts in his mind, so he decided to ask another question instead of this one.

"Lord of Grace lord, I have another question, but... it's still about [Memory]..."

Those eyes blinked, and a sneer rang out, "Ask away, darling of [Existence]."

"..." Cheng Shi almost couldn't catch his breath. His lips twitched slightly, and he was covered in cold sweat, but he still asked under the pressure of the Yin-Yang, "Since He doesn't like others distorting His Memory Archive, why does He grant His Believer the power to change history?"

This time, God of Merriment's answer was very straightforward.

"Because [Memory] knows that [Nothingness] eroding [Existence] is an unstoppable torrent of the times, and since [Existence] is destined to be changed, then this change naturally needs the will of [Existence]."

The same applies to "time," but... never mind, you don't need to worry about Him, He's busy and doesn't have that much time.

"..."

Look at what they're saying, there's not that much time.

Goodness, the winds of contrast have finally reached the realm of the gods, haven't they!

Having gained some answers, Cheng Shi frowned, sorting out his thoughts and gradually piecing together his views on the gods.

Perhaps I've been misunderstanding all along, no, it should be said that all players of the [Faith] game have been misunderstanding. It turns out that their will is not the appearance that Mortals understand, but the essence of countless things related to [*He].

No wonder my sophistry often hits the nail on the head. It's not because sophistry is effective, but because I'm lucky enough to touch upon their true will in this way!

So, it still comes down to Destiny...

I'm probably able to get to where I am today thanks to this so-called Predestination.

Praise be to Destiny!

However, speaking of [Destiny]... Cheng Shi frowned, thinking of something else. Why is it that other Path of Fate have three gods, while [Existence] and [Nothingness] only have two?

He felt that asking this question might not get him an answer, so he rolled his eyes and changed his question.

"Lord of Grace, I would like to ask, apart from the gods currently on the Sixteen Divine Thrones, where are the other gods...?"

For example, the ring bestowed by that the Great One contains a trace of the Divinity of [Thunderclap].

All I know is that this [Thunderclap] died at the hands of [Order], but I don't know...

"Heh, what's this? The darling of [Death] now wants to become the darling of [Thunder]?"

"..."

No, can we even have a chat here, my Lord of Grace?

Where do all these darlings come from?!

I didn't see a single one of those darlings, but there were plenty of Clown, and they all looked exactly the same...

Cheng Shi pursed his lips, not daring to reply, but his eyes gleamed with amusement, and his tone became cheerful again.

Hehe~

Knowing too much won't do you any good. Alright, the audience has lasted long enough, and I'm getting a little tired of seeing you. You may leave.

As she spoke, her eyes blinked slightly, and a gust of wind from the depths of the Void swept in instantly. Cheng Shi was startled, and before the wind reached him, he hurriedly craned his neck and shouted:

"My Lord of Grace, one last question, one last question!"

I'd like to ask, do you... have Emissary?

Those eyes were full of mockery as they looked at Cheng Shi, the corners of their eyes slanted upwards. Just as Cheng Shi was helplessly blown away by the whirlwind of Nothingness, they sneered and said:

"Yes, isn't my Emissary you, Lord [Fool's Game]?"

"!!!???"

Cheng Shi heard it, but then he lost consciousness.

After the Clown was blown away from this Void, a pair of eyes, also painted with stars and spirals, opened in front of the original pair of eyes. Unlike the previous pair of eyes, these eyes were extremely Indifference and incongruous with the joyful atmosphere around them.

[Destiny] has arrived. Before He could even speak, [Deception] preemptively said:

"Huh? How come you, a god of Nothingness, have a smell of existence clinging to you?"

What, did you get into a fight with either of those two brothers?

Not saying anything?

If you hadn't told me, I would have started guessing. Hmm, I'd guess it's "Memory," which is a bit more annoying than "time."

Those cold eyes glanced at Him Indifference, then spoke without joy or sorrow to the noisy [Nothingness] Twin Gods before Him:

Why lie to him?

[Deception] His eyes darted around, sparkling, and he chuckled, "Where did I lie?"

You've been lying all along.

I met [Memory], who said that after He learned that [Time] had summoned my Believer, He decided to no longer interfere in the affairs of [Nothingness].

So, why are you pretending to be "Memory"?

"Hmm?" Her playful eyes darted around, and she sneered, "Did I hear that right? You're a god of the [Nothingness], yet you believe the words of an [Existence] to doubt your own sister?"

"Ha, I never imagined that [Memory] could be so adept at spreading rumors."

"It is precisely because I am Nothingness that I know that what He said might be true."

[Existence] cannot comprehend [Nothingness], but I do understand it.

I saw the Predestination Destiny, so I chose him instead of you.

You know perfectly well that he represents the Predestination, destined to enter into Nothingness, so why do you still place your bets on him?

"Oh? Can't I place a bet?"

He glanced at him with Indifference eyes, but did not answer.

With a sneer, he continued:

"Then it seems possible."

If you can do it, why not do it?

Furthermore, I am the embodiment of "Nothingness" and wield the Divine Authority "Deception." Lying is a principle I uphold, so why can't I deceive him?

As for you, I suspect this darling of Destiny doesn't quite like your so-called Predestination, does he?

Otherwise, why would he act as my Emissary get close to me instead of getting close to you?

You saw his future in Destiny, but little did you know that no matter which time or space he was in, he hated that future.

How interesting! Does your darling know you'll sell him off when times change?

His Indifference eyes grew even colder.

"That wasn't selling, that was Destiny."

His playful eyes sneered again, filled with mockery.

"Tsk, so he called you a bitch, yeah, I think he's right."

This was a verbal attack, but [Destiny] unusually refrained from retaliation. It merely stared coldly at [Deception] and asked in a deep voice:

"What's wrong with Him?"

"No, you're wrong. He is good. He is perfectly fine."

It's my fault.

Hehe~

Every family has a few rebellious kids, right? There are two Mothers of Prosperity, a bunch of Order, and He...

At least I'm one of them.
