Chapter 376: The First Clash Between The Highest Goodness is Like Water and Unity of Man and Heaven

Chen Ran... lifted the hem of his clothes, put his hands on his hips, and puffed out his chest, exposing his Liar-Slayer, without even giving Lin Xuan's group of three a glance.

The Big Gold Tooth, Qiu Yinong, Lin Xuan, and even Shu Renjun were all taken aback. Looking at his appearance, it seemed he had the suspicion of using a skill to stop Lin Xuan's spatial transfer.

The four people carefully recalled.

Among the five people currently still alive, only Lin Xuan had spoken a lie in this Initial Secret Room.

But...

After he used the spatial skill, the lie on his body was erased. This meant that among the five people present, there were fundamentally no lies.

As long as the Big Gold Tooth blocked Chen Ran's line of sight and Lin Xuan spoke a lie and used the skill, Chen Ran fundamentally wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

After all, Chen Ran was a Liar-Slayer; without a lie, he couldn't use his skill.

Facing their questioning gazes.

The Big Gold Tooth immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of Lin Xuan's body. Seeing this, Lin Xuan didn't hesitate at all...

"I spoke a lie."

"Liar-Slayer - Magic Cube World!"

The next moment, Qiu Yinong, Lin Xuan, and the Big Gold Tooth, the three of them disappeared. They needed to go to other spaces to break through their Mental States. Otherwise, in the ensuing showdown, regardless of whether Chen Ran or Shu Renjun ultimately won, at least one of the three of them would have to die. The three of them had to make the worst-case scenario preparations.

In the Initial Secret Room.

Only Chen Ran and Shu Renjun remained.

Under Shu Renjun's shocked gaze, Chen Ran slowly drew his gun and pointed it at the ceiling.

However.

Chen Ran's command was actually:

"Ghost Whisperer - Eternal Kingdom!"

Shu Renjun's brain buzzed, going completely blank. He only felt the world spinning around him. He hurriedly suppressed his Mental State to suppress the terror and panic in his heart.

Bang!

The Secret Room turned black again. When the light was restored, Lin Xuan, Qiu Yinong, and the Big Gold Tooth looked at Chen Ran and Shu Renjun in horror.

'We're back?'

'We're back!'

"Lin Xuan, I gave you one chance just now. If there's a next time, die." Chen Ran's voice sounded somewhat impatient.

The four people knew what the opportunity was.

Since they were back.

It meant that Chen Ran had just used Eternal Kingdom. In other words...

Just now, when Lin Xuan spoke the lie, if Chen Ran had immediately used Eternal Kingdom, Lin Xuan fundamentally wouldn't have been able to go to another space, and the lie on his body would have always existed. He would definitely die without a doubt.

But Chen Ran didn't do this. Instead, after Lin Xuan's spatial shuttle had erased the lie, he then used Eternal Kingdom to crack the skill.

Just as he said, he gave Lin Xuan one chance, a chance of not killing him.

Lin Xuan's complexion was extremely ugly. Drawing his gun, he swept his gaze over the other three and said angrily: "Did you three provide him with a lie?"

Qiu Yinong frowned.

'Among the players present, it's impossible for anyone to have provided Chen Ran with a lie.'

'For him to be able to use his skill, there is a high probability that he constructed a Deceiver's Tongue here.'

'What is his Deceiver's Tongue?'

'Just now, when Chen Ran's Heart Cultivation ended, we rightfully assumed that he had already accomplished The Highest Goodness is Like Water Heart Cultivation, but there is no evidence.'

'Put simply, Chen Ran hasn't accomplished The Highest Goodness is Like Water Heart Cultivation, but there is no evidence to prove that he has accomplished The Highest Goodness is Like Water Heart Cultivation, thus it cannot be constructed into a Deceiver's Tongue.'

'Then what is his Deceiver's Tongue?'

'Is it that Form?'

'The form Chen Ran filled out in the Liar-Slayer Alliance made the staff rightfully assume that his skill is Ego-Tier. When other players collect his information, they will also rightfully assume that his skill is Ego-Tier. After all, in their view, I am the True Self Player.'

'Thus, 'Chen Ran is an Ego-Tier Skill owner' turned into a Deceiver's Tongue.'

'But there's a problem here. If it is a Deceiver's Tongue, his Deceiver's Tongue was constructed in the 18th Level and does not possess universality.'

'Put simply, among so many players in Hell, only a very small minority of people have viewed his form information, which fundamentally cannot construct a Deceiver's Tongue. Moreover, in the Instance, we have also said that Chen Ran is a True Self Player.'

'If 'he is an Ego-Tier Skill owner' is the Deceiver's Tongue, then before the Deceiver's Tongue is cracked, when we say he is a True Self Player, we are lying.'

'Therefore.'

'This Deceiver's Tongue is also invalid.'

Unable to figure it out.

Lin Xuan abruptly looked at Shu Renjun: "What was the command he spoke just now?"

Shu Renjun ignored him.

'The Unity of Man and Heaven Heart Cultivation allowed me to break through the shackles of thought.'

'Chen Ran's Deceiver's Tongue is indeed impeccable in the face of the Unity of Man and Heaven ideology, and it is also impossible for anyone to know what it is.'

'Therefore, his Deceiver's Tongue must be outside of the Unity of Man and Heaven ideology, which means...'

'Outside the rules.'

'Previously, there were many times he needed to use Eternal Kingdom but couldn't.'

'For example, in Lin Xuan's Ice Room, he almost froze to death. If he had constructed a Deceiver's Tongue back then, he absolutely would have used Eternal Kingdom.'

'This shows that his Deceiver's Tongue was constructed in this Instance.'

'Therefore, his Deceiver's Tongue satisfies two conditions: one, it is constructed within the Instance; two, it is absolutely a Deceiver's Tongue outside the rules.'

'The Instance rules have four clauses.'

'One: Prohibited from lying.'

'Two: The logic reasoning Instance has no lying.'

'Three: Must satisfy 20 people.'

'Four: Downward Compatibility.'

'The first two can be ignored. Since lying is just lying, he couldn't possibly be stupid enough to lie himself to stop Lin Xuan's group of three. The Deceiver's Tongue for 'the logic reasoning Instance has no lying' would be: 'the logic reasoning Instance has lying.' But to give birth to this Deceiver's Tongue, everyone must realize this point. Very obviously, in our cognition, there is only: 'the logic reasoning Instance has no lying.''

'Downward Compatibility also doesn't have the possibility of a Deceiver's Tongue. After all, the Downward Compatibility mechanism occurs before matching, while Chen Ran's Deceiver's Tongue was constructed during the Instance.'

'There is a time difference between the two, so it's also impossible to construct a Deceiver's Tongue.'

'Then the answer is...'

'The Secret Room must satisfy 20 people.'

'In other words, during the progress of this Instance, at some point, a 21st person appeared. And we didn't notice, but Chen Ran noticed it, thereby constructing the Deceiver's Tongue.'

'When did this 21st person appear? Gao Lan's skill?'

'That's a skill, it wouldn't be judged by the Instance as a 21st person.'

'Is there a possibility that this Instance had 21 people from the very beginning?'

'In other words, there is a person who has always been hiding among us, and this person can ignore the Instance's rule of maximum 20 people?'

'To be able to ignore Instance rules, this person is highly likely a True Self Player.'

'Chen Ran has a Dao Protector?'

'Moreover, this Dao Protector appeared during the process of this Instance and blocked a fatal blow for Chen Ran, thereby allowing the Deceiver's Tongue of 20 people to be cracked. But we didn't discover that this Deceiver's Tongue was cracked at some point in time, and we've constantly been speaking about the number of people in the Instance, therefore...'

'The Deceiver's Tongue was generated again!'

The Unity of Man and Heaven Heart Cultivation, breaking through the shackles of thought. In an instant, Shu Renjun deduced the result outside of the rules.

He was now almost certain that Chen Ran had a True Self Player protecting him in secret.

But, he again couldn't remember, when in this Instance had Chen Ran suffered a fatal threat?

'Unless, this danger...'

'Came from outside the Instance!'

'To be able to apply a skill from outside the Instance to inside the Instance, there is only a True Self Skill. And it has to be a True Self Skill where the stats have already bloated to a certain extent, or even reached the very cap.'

Having reasoned to this point, Shu Renjun felt there was no need to continue deducing.

Simply because, this was Chen Ran's overt plot!

Put simply, if he really deduced that Chen Ran had a True Self Player protecting him, Shu Renjun wouldn't dare to deal a deadly blow to Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong.

When experts exchange blows, not daring to deal a deadly blow.

Is simply courting death.

Therefore, as long as Shu Renjun proved his own deduction: that there was a True Self Player protecting Chen Ran.

Then the one who ultimately lost would definitely be...

Shu Renjun!

Since he generally knew what Chen Ran's Deceiver's Tongue was, he wasn't worried about anything. As long as he avoided speaking about the number of people, treating this Deceiver's Tongue as if it didn't exist would do.
