Chapter 1128
Walking on a path woven with silver threads, Ain's expression became increasingly uneasy.Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m
In a daze, she remembered that she had also seen similar scenes, but she had always thought it was just absurd dreams from her childhood.
Faceless deity.
Like a silver-white road that seems to extend all the way to the end of the world, no matter how you walk, you can't reach the destination.
It doesn't resemble any known world's peculiar scenery, it's just like something out of a fairy tale.
Ah, yes, she has been here before, probably when she was even younger than Adley. She had also touched that puppet by the bedside, hugged it while sleeping, and then drowsily arrived in this silver-white world.
Underfoot, there is an endless expanse of silver-white, devoid of any impurities.
Walking here feels like walking on clouds, filled with a taste completely different from reality.
She has been here, and not just once.
However, she has always considered this place as a dream, never realizing that it is part of reality.
"Lord Silver Dragon, is this place..." Ain, who is no longer a child, gathered the courage to ask Yun Xi, who might be the only one who knows the truth.
The faceless evil god was a story she made up to scare Adley before bed, little did she know that the story would become real.
"Hmm, this is the inside of a puppet, it's a special technique," Yun Xi couldn't understand how this technique was achieved, maybe that's what makes the puppet maker special.
Despite being the size of a palm, the puppet had a small world inside, a world woven with countless threads that were all connected.
However, this world seemed to lack vitality, it was simply incredibly magnificent, intricate, and filled with the beauty of composition that only the puppet maker could perceive.
After about five minutes of walking, Yun Xi voluntarily stopped.
Everything here was silver-white.
The boundary between the sky and the earth didn't exist in this world at all. Walking in this infinite silver-white world felt like moving towards an endless unknown.
Ain, in the beginning, saw this world as a dream.
In the first few attempts, she tried to walk here, hoping to find an end or something, but soon realized that it was an impossible task to complete.
According to hearsay, most of the underwear worn by legendary female gods was handmade by the three of them.
In terms of the preciousness of the materials used, this puppet had an extraordinary value that cannot be overstated.
In the entire world of Sia, there probably couldn't be a puppet more valuable than this.
"Follow the line." After spotting the transparent thread mixed among millions of silver threads, Yun Xi pulled it out from the path.
It seemed to be the enigmatic clue left by the puppet maker who created this puppet, only to be discovered by those with extraordinary intuition and sensitivity.
It had been here all along, like a marker, waiting to be found by someone.
Ain didn't find it, nor did Adley, or any of the previous owners of this puppet, until Yun Xi arrived here.
With a clear landmark, the next steps became much simpler.
The never-ending path is actually just the thread looping around. The seemingly unchanging ground is actually constantly changing.
If it weren't for seeing the thread in their hands constantly changing direction, Yun Xi probably wouldn't be able to see the true face of this world.
Essentially, this is a never-ending, non-repeating maze made of threads, with countless possible answers.
For those who don't understand the key, it would take a thousand years, ten thousand years, and they still wouldn't be able to find a way out. But once they find the correct answer, everything becomes clear.
Holding the strings of the world in his hand, Yun Xi, along with Ain and Adley, walked to the center of the maze.
In truth, this maze isn't very big, it's just the infinite changing directions and positions that make it impossible to see its true form.
Just like how ants can never understand the concept of three-dimensional space, those who can't find the strings of the world will never see the center of the maze.
"Deity without a face." Yun Xi looked up and saw the object sleeping in the center of the maze. It was the first time he truly felt that Ain's description was so fitting.
Within the enormous silver screen, there stood a giant silver figure without a face, woven from countless threads.
Faceless and featureless.
Heartless and soulless.
Blank puppet.
