Capítulo 1269: Chapter 105: Ready to Tear Off the Mask at Any Time

“A contest?”

“Yes, a contest, or rather a game.” The person from the Corrosive Fate Dao seemed to be mocking, “The entire Primordial Ancestor World is a playground where all means can be used.”

The vast Primordial Ancestor World, to the Starry Sky and Corrosive Fate Dao, is merely a battlefield.

Wang Sheng finally understood why the Primordial Ancestor World had such strong shielding.

Not only does the Space-time River fail to notice the temporal issues of the living beings within the Primordial Ancestor World.

Even he, who controls the Space-time Dao, personally entered and did not notice it immediately.

Only after the Mother River was successfully forged, utilizing its absolute control over the True Spirit, did he discover the problem and learn some secrets of the Primordial Ancestor World.

Because the situation caused by the Primordial Ancestor World was a joint effort by the Starry Sky and Corrosive Fate Dao.

They completely concealed all information.

That’s why he hadn’t discovered anything.

He looked at the light sphere, which is the Starry Sky itself, to confirm whether the information from the Corrosive Fate Dao was true.

The Starry Sky couldn’t address him like the Corrosive Fate Dao, which could mimic a sentient being.

But it could still answer questions.

Wang Sheng received a confirming answer.

He took a breath and asked, “What game?”

The face exhibited by Corrosive Fate Dao showed a crazy expression, his face twisted as if suppressing himself.

“Hehehehe—”

“Of course, it’s a life-and-death gamble.”

“If I win, the Starry Sky is destroyed.”

“If I lose, I am completely eliminated, and the destiny avenue you created will become the new foundation of the Starry Sky, which will utterly calm, free from the threat of Dust Beasts, and can continue to expand, returning to the once promising Starry Sky, everything back on track.”

“All destiny will be handed over to this corner of the Primordial Ancestor World. Do you think that’s interesting?”

Interesting or not, Wang Sheng was unsure.

But he faintly sensed that the Corrosive Fate Dao might not be as confident as it appeared.

Gambling happens only when there’s no other choice.

If one were completely certain, why gamble?

Directly wait until growth renders all problems solvable and then act, isn’t that better than risking losing everything in a gamble?

Perhaps, it is indeed as the Corrosive Fate Dao stated.

It is his presence that made the Corrosive Fate Dao feel threatened and want a final struggle.

This, for him, is a good sign.

At least it proves that although the Corrosive Fate Dao is complicated, it’s not overwhelmingly strong.

“My arrival in the Primordial Ancestor World might also be part of the plan…” Wang Sheng gazed at the light sphere.

The light sphere didn’t respond, but the Corrosive Fate Dao did answer him:

“You are indeed part of it. It intended for you to become a secret detective, aiding its final victory. I must say, this method is indeed viable; even when infiltrating you into my presence, I did not immediately discover you nor predict your existence or location. But unfortunately, you exposed a flaw and were detected by me, still wanting to act against me. How could I let you ruin it, when the game isn’t over?”

“Of course, it’s only because you can’t tackle me that such a forced strategy comes into play. Ultimately, it’s inevitable, since to not alert me about your existence, there can be no communication whatsoever; otherwise, how could it be a surprise maneuver.”

Wang Sheng understood he seemed to have inadvertently disrupted the Starry Sky’s arrangements.

Ultimately leading to such a situation.

Now that he’s discovered, he certainly cannot continue being a secret weapon.

There’s no choice but to engage openly in what’s called a “game.”

Helping the Starry Sky side win.

“What exactly is the game you mentioned?”

Corrosive Fate Dao depicted by the twisted face kept grinning, “It’s simple, you must have sensed the situation in the Primordial Ancestor World. They themselves are repeating a segment of a past story. I will attempt to become a higher-level entity within this story, while the Starry Sky aims to find my weakness during this time.”

“Once my weakness is found, I can be easily defeated. Isn’t that simple?”

“Are you inclined to join in? You can use any means necessary, but naturally, you cannot further assault the Primordial Ancestor World. After all, the game isn’t over and the playground must not be destroyed.”

Wang Sheng confirmed with the light sphere again.

Once more, he received a confirming answer.

This means everything the Corrosive Fate Dao said is indeed true.

“You needn’t worry about me deceiving you, because ultimately, this is the final game, a game displayed openly. In truth, even without me, perhaps you would’ve eventually learned this truth, wouldn’t you?”

Wang Sheng did not respond.

But indeed, the fact is as such.

He successfully forged the Mother River and already knew the living beings of the Primordial Ancestor World had their memories reset.

Once he continues to investigate down this path, eventually he might discover that so-called memory reset is merely re-enacting events from the past.

However, it might take some time to investigate why the replay.

He will probably directly consult the Starry Sky.

“Wouldn’t you dare to join in? Understand, he and I are practically wagering with the lives of your humans. You need nothing to join in, yet you dare not?”

A simple provocation.

But Wang Sheng indeed plans to participate.

Even when he decided to act against the Destiny Palace, he intended to transition from covert to overt involvement.

The Starry Sky does hope for it, but it doesn’t mean he has to follow this path entirely.
