Who told you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Jingming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Fei’s tone remained calm, as if all these changes were irrelevant to her. She was only mildly curious about whether the information was accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was matched with him in the last trial and saw the mask in his possession. He…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He broke his oath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has become a follower of [Deceit].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he’s still collecting memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I traded a memory for this information.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Wei didn’t seem surprised when he heard that Li Jingming had broken his oath to become a follower of [Deceit]—he had clearly known about this for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Fei’s revelation still caught him off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s still walking the ‘Path of Memory’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you know about his ‘Path of Memory,’ why would you give him your own memories?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren’t you afraid he’ll steal your identity and become the ‘Bai Fei’ in that memory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Bai Fei’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That cold, emotionless look suddenly softened into a perfect curve, like a pure snow lotus blooming atop an ice-capped mountain that had been frozen for millions of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful—stunningly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I walk under His gaze. I obliterate others, and I obliterate myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have never feared disappearing. I only fear not finding a path to continue His will after I have obliterated myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does that even mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Die for love, is that it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crazy-person list +1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi listened, his face showing an “appreciative” expression as he instinctively took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chun’s pupils shrank, and his face twisted in shock, utterly unable to comprehend what he was hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Hu Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise, as if he hadn’t expected Bai Fei’s understanding of [Oblivion] to run so deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Hu Wei knew that [Oblivion] was never about simple destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While [Oblivion] did indeed promote utter annihilation, believing that everything in the universe would eventually return to silence, Hu Wei had once heard a certain [God] mention that amidst the endless decay and collapse, [Oblivion] was searching… for a new self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, [Oblivion] was never purely about obliteration—it was about…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebirth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on Bai Fei’s actions through this lens, it became clear that her offering of her memories to a follower of [Memory] was, in a way, a form of self-obliteration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she no longer had any memories, while someone else possessed all of hers…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s to say that the person who holds all of Bai Fei’s memories isn’t Bai Fei herself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, wouldn’t that person be a new Bai Fei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You understand your Patron better than that annoying janitor does.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Wei’s gaze was filled with admiration as he looked at Bai Fei, as if seeing an uncut gem ready to be polished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bai Fei understood that her deep insight into [Oblivion] had earned her an opportunity for answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was eager to know how the [Chosen Ones] were drawing closer to the gods now, and whether their paths aligned with her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what kind of guidance were the gods offering these [Chosen Ones]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Wei, clearly impressed by Bai Fei’s understanding, let out a hearty laugh and had no qualms about revealing the “secrets” of the [Chosen Ones].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The audience with the gods has already begun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that bombshell, he continued speaking, completely unfazed by Bai Fei’s raised eyebrows, Yan Chun’s dumbfounded expression, or Cheng Shi’s fake look of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just as most high-ranking players have speculated, the gods have started taking an interest in certain lucky individuals, summoning them for a personal audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the relationships within these audiences are quite complicated. The process also intertwines with some of the conflicts between the [Gods].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The god that summons a player isn’t necessarily their Patron—it could even be a different [God], sometimes even one from an opposing faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several audiences, we’ve exchanged some insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all agree that the gods are trying to bring something about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what exactly? We don’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What we do know is this: the gods seem to be loosening the shackles of faith on players, no longer insisting on the ‘purity’ of belief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chun’s eyes widened instantly. He held his breath, his eyes lighting up with excitement as he asked in disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you saying… they’re allowing betrayal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, no. Betrayal is the wrong word. Let’s call it fusion. They’re permitting fusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fusion!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Chun froze on the spot before his voice shot up again, asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faith fusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How do you fuse faith? What do you use to fuse it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly. If faith were singular, how could the word “fusion” even apply?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly came to a shocking realization, his expression becoming even more incredulous. His mouth opened and closed several times before he finally ventured a guess:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can they bestow a second faith?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are we going to have multiple faiths!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then would the idea of fusion make sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Marshal, are you experimenting with [Chaos] as your second faith?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that why you were granted the power of [Chaos]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone with such a vast score difference to ask such a bold question was somewhat presumptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hu Wei wasn’t offended at all. Instead, he smiled meaningfully, neither confirming nor denying the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no fools present. Seeing Hu Wei’s smile, it became clear to everyone that Yan Chun was right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more accurately, they had all guessed correctly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Wei had most likely been summoned by [Chaos] and granted some special powers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it made sense. After all, the will of [Chaos] could ride the tide of [War], and war itself often triggered chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two could indeed complement each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bigger question was, if second faiths did exist, how would the gods ensure their own status?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps there was no hierarchy among the gods, but for players, personal preference and attachment to certain faiths would surely create a ranking system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would some faiths inevitably become lesser than others in the eyes of the players?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the gods tolerate such a situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi didn’t know about the other gods, but he knew at least one who seemed perfectly capable of tolerating it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amitabha, forgive me for my sins.\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-05-30T16:17:59.407Z","2026-06-01T04:31:40.442Z",1,"novelbin.me","b0ad149f0fef567ff40efa2c767d50d45e491eb7cc4e7613afd364506c82f661","foolish-game-of-the-gods-chapter-152","foolish-game-of-the-gods-chapter-500",1463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffoolish-game-of-the-gods-cover.jpg"]
