The Fool of the Gods

No matter if you don't want to, you still have to figure it out.

Cheng Shi sat on the ground and carefully sorted out all the information in his mind, trying to find clues in a large amount of information, to figure out the story of Avros and even their intentions.

But he thought for a long time and found that it was impossible for him to figure out the things between the gods alone, so he gave up.

He gave up his self-guessing and changed to...

"Consult" them.

Since it concerns the gods, then perhaps only they understand them.

So he picked up the dice in his hand again and began to pray devoutly.

"Lies like yesterday, sneer..."

Before he finished sneering, he heard a "whoosh" and Cheng Shi disappeared instantly.

When he opened his eyes again, he found a pair of cold star eyes hanging high in the void, staring at him motionlessly.

Look at this...

It's bad, I'm afraid it's [Destiny]!

Cheng Shi's cold sweat instantly soaked his back. He didn't bother to adjust his expression, and bowed his head to give sincere praise.

But this time he learned his lesson, and his words were no longer gorgeous, but became simple, even simple to deal with, so that he would not find that the person in front of him was still the [Fraud] who loved to make trouble when he looked up again.

"Praise you, great [Destiny].

May destiny always be [Destiny]."

This praise was fresh, fresh to deal with, but [Destiny] couldn't help but feel fresh.

Compared with the series of flattering responses, this brief praise that went straight to the essence obviously made Him happier.

So, the cold corners of his eyes melted a little, and the whole void rose with a hint of psychedelic colors.

Cheng Shi caught this change with his peripheral vision, and he was sure in his heart that the person in front of him was [Destiny].

So he couldn't wait to raise his head, regardless of what oracle his benefactor had requested, and asked a big question as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My Lord, I seem to have a relationship with Avros, the messenger of [Defilement]. Is this [Defilement]......

an invitation to believe in me?"

Cheng Shi's words were very straightforward, so straightforward that he dared to talk about another Him who did not belong to [Nothingness] in front of Him.

But Cheng Shi was confident. That confidence was not because he claimed to have understood the temperament of the Lord, but because [Destiny] once said, "If you have any questions, ask them if you want to ask them"!

It was He who promised Cheng Shi after he returned to [Destiny] that he could answer Cheng Shi's questions about the universe.

It's just that because this trial was originally a prayer for [Fraud], Cheng Shi didn't want to trouble [Destiny]. But since he had already seen it...

Since he was here, it would be a waste if he didn't ask!

The eyes in the void flickered slightly, and after hearing the question, he said without joy or sadness:

"You think too much."

"......"

My Lord, your words are quite hurtful.

Cheng Shi's face froze, and he laughed dryly to save his dignity:

"That's good, that's good, I have no intention of leaving [Nothingness].

Even if He really invites me, I will not accept it.

My path has been set!"

And regardless of whether what Cheng Shi said was true or not, it sounded very good to [Destiny].

The corners of his eyes softened again, and He looked at Cheng Shi. The spiral in his eyes swirled for a moment, as if he saw the trajectory of Cheng Shi's current and past fate, and then he spoke again:

"What is set has not changed, but you must remember:

Stay away from [Depravity].

He is not an existence that mortals can approach.

Also, He will never issue any invitations, and every life that sinks into [Desire Sea] is voluntary.

They can't control their inner desires, and they approach Him spontaneously under the pretext of His calling and guidance."

He never issues an invitation?

Even His calling and guidance are excuses! ?

Cheng Shi was confused, because he always felt that the desires of the followers of [Foul] were amplified by their benefactor...

But why would his benefactor describe [Foul] as a... "victim"?

He was a little puzzled, but [Destiny] obviously hadn't finished speaking.

"Avros is a tragedy, but He is not worthy of pity. He created all this with his own hands.

As for why [Fraud] sent you into the trial of [Birth], perhaps they signed some agreement unknown to outsiders.

He always likes to sign these things with others, but they are rarely useful."

"..."

No, benefactor, why do I feel that the tone of your words is similar to [Foolishness].

Cheng Shi didn't dare to answer, but quietly took out the [Gate of Desire] token in his hand, the broken laces, and then showed them to God, and asked:"My Lord, this thing..."

"It's just a means of self-rescue for those in prison. This token allows you to go to His door at any time, but just like His Lord who never actively invites others, He cannot force you to open the door, unless...

You push it open yourself driven by your own desires.

No need to pay attention to Him.

You did a good job, not being pulled open by desire.

[Gate of Desire] is not the name of God given to Him by [Depravity], but the title given to Him by [Time].

After mortals push open that door, their own desires are no longer under control, and they become one with the [Sea of ​​Desire], becoming a depression where the ocean of desire flows back. From then on, there is nothing to pursue except sinking and enjoying themselves.

Avros once wanted to create a paradise of desires that everyone in the world enjoys, but His idea was not recognized by [Existence], so [Time] gave Him the punishment of eternal imprisonment."

Eternal imprisonment!

After hearing this word, Cheng Shi somehow suddenly thought of the S-level talent of [Time], the Eternal Prison, a strong control talent that can make people stagnate in time.

So [Time] likes this way, imprisonment?

Uh, that's not the point!

Cheng Shi hurriedly shook his head, shook out the distracting thoughts, and then asked again:

"My Lord, why did the messenger of [Defilement] ask [Time] to give a name, [Defilement]... does He have any objection?"

The stars in his eyes gradually stopped flickering, and He glanced in the direction of [Desire Sea], and his tone was also solemn.

"He never refuses, and will never refuse, just like He never invites, and will never invite.

Because the indulgence of desire is to break the refusal, so I warn you:

Stay away from Him.

The sound of [Order] has been polluted, and you mortals should not have any contact with Him."

[Order] is polluted?

Cheng Shi was stunned, and suddenly thought of what the adult on the bone seat had said, "There is something wrong with [Order]" and the so-called "fear of [Order], [fear (Order)]".

So, [Order] had problems because of [Depravity]?

[Order] lost to [Depravity]! ?

Cheng Shi was shocked, and he suddenly widened his eyes to get a response from those cold eyes, but [Fate] did not tell him the truth of that year.

"Those things are too far away from you, it's useless to think about them.

You just need to walk firmly on your own path."

"But Lord Benefactor, I'm still very curious. If [Defilement] won't refuse anything, will it refuse others to kill it?

Or in other words, if a god wants to seize his power, or wants to make him fall, will he...

not refuse it?

For example... you... uh... your other brother god in [Nothingness]."

This is too straightforward, so straightforward that it brings up the issue of the gods seizing power from each other.

He even points to his benefactor by name!

Although he made amends, to be honest, if Cheng Shi hadn't said this, any player who told the gods about their filthiness in front of the gods might have gone to see [Death] by now.

No, it is likely that he would directly see [Annihilation] and then leave this world painlessly.

But [Destiny] loves tolerance, He did not blame Cheng Shi, but was silent for a moment.

He was also considering whether he should let Cheng Shi know these things.

But looking at Cheng Shi's eager eyes, and considering that he was still quite pious, his eyes still responded slightly.

"No."

! ! ? ?
