Chapter 1488: The Shame of the Pillar Gods

"No, no, no! Let's be a bit more cautious..."

After stealing a glance at the crow on their shoulder as if looking at a "big idiot," Xue Fa Ji, whose heart was chilled by 【Ang Zai Avoidance】, shook their head desperately and refused with a dry laugh:

"My thought is, since the situation is still within your control, we don't need to rush to change it, lest we mess things up by trying to fix them."

"Rest assured, Truth is absolutely impossible to change, so before the story completely ends, you will definitely not have any trouble no matter where you are."

Seeing through what Xue Fa Ji was afraid of, the black crow's pupils flickered rapidly, then said softly with implication:

"Even if I wanted to harm you, after you are caught by the Food God and 【Bedtime Stories】 is forcibly ended, don't you still have the Truth that can 100% avoid him?"

"？！！!"

With their biggest secret exposed on the spot, Xue Fa Ji's pupils suddenly contracted violently, their face turned red instantly, and they shrank their neck and asked back stammeringly:

"You... how did you know?!"

"..."

I was just panicking because you mentioned the Food God, so I tried to bluff you... it turns out it's really true!!!

Looking at Xue Fa Ji's reaction—two parts astonishment, three parts shame, and five parts helplessness—【The Tale of Nothingness】 couldn't help but open their mouth, the expression on the bird face extremely difficult to maintain.

The names of the Truths mastered by the Pillar Gods are generally based on the original "Authority," supplemented by the strongest desire that surged in their hearts at the moment of crossing the threshold of the Pillar God, and finally cast into the Truth of the world, becoming a part of the operating rules of the entire world.

For example, they themselves, who originally mastered the Authority of 【Story】, had the greatest expectation at the moment of becoming a Pillar God to turn the false into the true, and thus possessed the Truth name 【The Tale of Nothingness】, gaining the ability to tell false stories as true.

As for Xue Fa Ji...

Looking at Xue Fa Ji, whose face was flushed red and who looked ashamed, 【The Tale of Nothingness】 couldn't help but pant a few times, a terrible premonition called "The Lu Wang Society is finished" surging in their heart.

If they guessed correctly, at the moment Xue Fa Ji crossed the threshold of the Pillar God, they were mostly cowering in some corner, trembling and praying that the Food God of the Cleaning Bureau would never discover they were still alive.

And this idiot was originally a True God representing disaster, mastering the Authorities of 【Calamity】 and 【Chaos】. These two authorities related to disaster, coupled with their extreme fear of the Food God, successfully forged the most rubbish Truth in history—

Specifically for avoiding disasters related to that Food God!

Damn it! Can you be any more useless!

"This... I actually didn't want to either..."

Feeling a certain suppressed, strange emotion from the silence of The Tale of Nothingness and White Snake, Xue Fa Ji, as a True God who still wanted some face, had to force a defense with a flushed face:

"Mainly because I was... fighting hard against the Food God at the time, and didn't notice that I had already broken through the threshold of the Pillar God, so I didn't have time to deliberately control my thoughts and actively choose the type of Truth to forge.

And... and I had very important information at the time, thinking that no matter what, I had to live and come back to tell you the situation, so I thought if I could hide... if I could avoid the Food God, that would be fine, so..."

"That's enough, you don't need to say these explanations!"

Turning their head away from the embarrassed Xue Fa Ji, The Tale of Nothingness, whose expression was extremely difficult to maintain, said:

"Although your ability is... the scope of adaptation is a bit narrow, it happens to be useful right now. Since you won't have any trouble no matter how you contact the Food God, then just stick close to him, actively let him catch you, and quickly advance the story to the next node... Any questions?"

"No... no..."

With excessive shame, plus the double insurance provided by the two Truths, finally suppressing the fear in their heart, Xue Fa Ji, who wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, finally bit the bullet and accepted the task. However, just as the crow on "Princess Caitlyn's" shoulder spread its wings, preparing to fly away from them, Xue Fa Ji couldn't help but ask sheepishly:

"That... I remember our society has a rule that as long as a formal member can become a Pillar God, they can be promoted directly to Vice President. This matter... does it still count?"

"..."

This rule does indeed exist. After all, a Pillar God holds a Truth, so they can't be too weak... but when the President set this rule, they probably didn't expect such a weirdo as you to appear...

After staring at the "Shame of the Pillar Gods" in front of them for a long time, considering that Xue Fa Ji was a Pillar God no matter how bad they were, The Tale of Nothingness, with complex eyes, finally nodded helplessly.

"It counts!"

"Forget it! Really, forget it!"

After taking the flyer handed over by a certain Duke and reading the content, the dancer lady, dressed quite coolly, couldn't help but turn pale, then, as if throwing away some hot potato, shook it off.

"I... I was born a dancer of the Wuna Society, and I will die a dancer of the Wuna Society. I have no intention of joining other societies, and... and I really can't do this kind of thing!"

"Are you really not going to consider it?"

Taking back the flyer thrown back by the dancer lady, and skillfully smoothing out the creases, the evil Lionheart Duke smiled and promoted:

"The treatment in our Yarn Ball Society is very good. As long as you are willing to help me, kill your way into the Great Witch Court, and kidnap Princess Caitlyn, I guarantee to make you a... Hey, don't go! You've already finished the survey, you can get a gift even if you don't join!"

(In one look)

"No, no, no! I don't want it, I don't want anything!"

Good, saved money again.

Looking at the small gifts on the handcart next to them that hadn't been given away, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at the black-robed witch next to him.

"How is it? Is the signature of that person just now real?"

"It should be real."

Holding the "survey" just signed by the dancer, and stacking it onto a Yarn Ball Society membership application, the black-robed witch wearing a hood chanted two secret texts in a low voice. The survey stacked on the top immediately melted like ice and snow, completely scattering into cotton and wood fibers.

And the signature originally attached to the survey, after stripping away the cotton and fibers, seeped all the way down and was clearly printed on the Yarn Ball Society's indenture... membership application.

Very good, one more!

Touching the 【Heart of Ambition】 in the sheep offal, and confirming that the disposable target had increased by one again, the evil Duke nodded with satisfaction, then pushed the handcart and the survey, and found the next victim again.

However, just as Hearing Hearing Li Ang stopped a bald praying monk and was about to coax her to sign the "survey," a rather familiar figure suddenly turned out from the street corner not far ahead.

"?"

"!"

At the first sight of the evil Duke, Xue Fa Ji, who came out to "walk the plot," suddenly shook their whole body, and without waiting for Hearing Hearing Li Ang to call out, turned around and ran without hesitation!
