Chapter 922: He's Your Backup! Only This Sentence Is True!

The moment he uttered those words.

Time seemed to stand still.

Su Yang and Lin Yang both stared in shock, their gazes also filled with deep suspicion.

"What kind of joke is that? How could a Divine walk among mortals?"

"Besides, even if it were true, how could it usher in the New Era?"

"To put it bluntly, the environment we survive in can be summed up in two characters: 'Wasteland'."

"Moreover, what does the Divinity want? To manipulate us because we're young?" Lin Yang asked.

Su Yang showed no extreme emotion or action.

In his view, the remark, though laced with absurdity,

was nonetheless a possibility.

After all, the world is full of wonders, and a Divine can do anything.

The Divinity possesses the authority and power to command everything.

If, one day, it whimsically decided to go incognito for a private visit, that wouldn't be impossible.

"Actually, when I first learned of this news, I was shocked and even wanted to laugh."

"But consider it from another angle... If a Divine isn't by our side, how do we explain the mysterious loss of Faith Value in the Betting Settlement?" Xingchen retorted.

Lin Yang was stunned, and after a while said, "Are you saying the Divine is stealing our Faith Value?"

That can't be, right?

Is this kid talking nonsense?

Xingchen looked at Su Yang and said, "You must remember the countdown; didn't it seem odd to you?"

Su Yang pondered briefly, then said, "... I think perhaps a certain Achievement was attained, so everything remains unharmed."

Xingchen nodded slightly, "It's a plausible possibility, but when considering the Letter, the two align strangely on a certain level."

A scam.

Death.

In reality, Xingchen's explanation was far‑fetched.

He merely forced the two events together.

Just happened that a certain point was common.

He doesn't know whether the Divine walks among mortals.

He is, however, very curious about the identity of the Letter's author.

Su Yang considered for a moment and asked, "How many letters have you received in total?"

"Two," Xingchen blurted out.

"Other than that, is there any other communication?"

"It's a one‑way transmission of information; how could there be any exchange?"

Sure enough...

Xingchen is different from him.

Su Yang has spoken with the Letter's author before.

He vaguely recalls the line the other left—"I am the person you never want to see."

Based solely on that, Su Yang is convinced the fellow has a strong connection to him.

Far more than a mere nodding acquaintance...

The first time, it prevented him from becoming an Ascend God seed.

The second time, it set him upon the Golden Road.

According to the progression, both occurred on the eve of a major world transformation.

Thus he can boldly conjecture—

The third letter must be to keep him from sitting on the Golden Throne.

Assuming the other is a hidden enemy.

Then there would be no need to go to such lengths.

But if it is a well‑meaning warning, yet no alternative path is offered.

It's truly odd.

"How are you helping me find someone?" Su Yang asked.

"I received an invitation from an Organization; once I complete a Task, I can gain entry smoothly."

"Coincidentally, this Organization's specialty is locating people; then I can mobilize all usable resources to help you," Xingchen explained.

Another Organization...

Su Yang subconsciously lowered his gaze to his chest.

"Yin Yun also received an Olive Branch; what exactly are they after?"

Countless doubts lingered in his heart.

He couldn't wait to dig out the answer.

"The way you say that sounds as if you yourself don't want to know the answer," Lin Yang smirked, "Helping us isn't just helping you, is it?"

Xingchen nodded without taking a stance, "That's correct, but a piece of intelligence holds different value for different people."

"To me, its weight is slightly more than a feather."

"To you, however, it is heavier than Mount Tai!"

"I have many channels; if you're willing, we can fully cooperate."

"We had some unpleasant incidents before; my greed almost caused a disaster, and for that I apologize to you."

"Fortunately the Proposal eventually proceeded smoothly, and I hope you can give me a chance to make amends."

"I can say with 100% certainty that if you cooperate with me, we will easily take down the group behind Yue Zhao."

"At the same time I can become your most trusted and most capable Intelligence partner."

His gaze was exceedingly sincere, as if he could carve the words "repentance" onto his eyes.

Su Yang stared silently for a few seconds and asked:

"Kill whom?"

"'Blood Ghost'."

"Code Name?"

"Yes."

"I don't know him."

"He is the Task target assigned by the Organization, and also Yue Zhao's good brother."

"Your Task, what does it have to do with me?"

"The Organization said, as long as there's a result, the process is up to you."

"Your Reward is insufficient."

"What if we also add Bai Lang's secret?"

Huh?

Su Yang suddenly became interested, "What secret could he have?"

Xingchen brushed his Mask and said frankly, "It seems to be related to Innate Talent; Yue Zhao approached him for that reason."

Su Yang asked curiously, "Is he a backup?"

Xingchen nodded, "To be precise, he's your backup."

There really is such a good thing?

Su Yang couldn't help but stroke his chin, his mind stirred.

That turned out to be an unexpected surprise.

Originally Su Yang had already decided that after going out he would gamble with Xingchen.

Now that this development occurred, Su Yang hesitated.

If Yue Zhao initially coveted Bai Lang, then his Innate Talent value might only lie beneath Deception.

"What about you, how did he notice you?" Su Yang asked.

"I am Jiang Taigong; the willing take the bait," Xingchen explained.

Su Yang did not continue to entangle the topic, and asked, "Have you finished writing your Proposal?"

Xingchen rolled the parchment into a ball, tossed it across the Star Dome, and said, "You can consider my suggestion carefully; this deal will be a sure profit for you!"

Having said that, he waved to Lin Yang, turned and walked into the Passageway.

As the footsteps faded, Lin Yang couldn't help but ask, "He gives me the feeling... as if he just came out of a mental hospital?"

Su Yang's eyes flickered, "Don't doubt it, he is exactly that."

"You think so too?" Lin Yang removed his Mask, his expression vivid, "Damn, this kid treats both of us like fools, spouting nonsense, not a single true word."

Su Yang also removed his Mask, speaking calmly, "The real ones are few; the fakes are many."

"When he talked about Divine walking among mortals, I felt it was utter nonsense," Lin Yang complained.

"No!" Su Yang shook his head slowly, "Only that sentence is true."

The rest are false!

"Huh?" Lin Yang was stunned.

Su Yang looked up at the Star Dome and said leisurely, "Let's go, back so that Zhuge Chen can investigate Bai Lang's background."

"Let's go!"

The two each walked toward the original Passageway, their figures disappearing into the Portal—

……

Inside the Villa.

With a soft hum, two figures suddenly descended.

Su Yang opened his eyes and saw everyone wearing expectant expressions.

He couldn't help but smile, "Don't hold back, ask whatever you want."
