Chapter 1017

Vessel Trading Theory

Gossip can make players stop, but it cannot stop the footsteps of the Yu Hui Sect.

The Death Knell Knights had already surrounded them; although the scholars were resisting desperately, under wave after wave of impact, the scholars' defensive line was no longer enough to guard the Tomorrow Truth Tower.

The counterattack from the underworld had ultimately started from within the highest power center of the Tower of Reason, which made the mechanical soldiers who had previously been stationed on the outskirts of Tusnat the biggest joke at this moment.

As the transmission time lengthened, more and more underworld forces poured out, blocking the mechanical soldiers who should have been guarding the city outside the walls. It looked as if the Yu Hui Sect had taken over the defense of Tusnat, while the Mechanical Engineering Department, which wanted to return for reinforcements, had become the "invaders."

And the Death Knell Knights, as the sharp blade of the Yu Hui Sect, naturally took this golden opportunity to stab fiercely into the heart of the Scholarly Chair Council.

The sky-filling fire that burned on the Gasimela Conjugate Whisper was still vivid in his mind; seeing the smoke and flames rising everywhere in the city now, Cheng Shi could only sigh that the believers of 【Chaos】 truly spared no effort to expand chaos, and they didn't act like human beings either.

However, the more chaotic it was, the more advantageous it was for him.

Cheng Shi had already carried the knocked-out Death Knell Knight into the ruins of a deserted alley; he didn't shy away from pulling out a sect robe and putting it on in front of Hu Xuan, and this robe was naturally the same style as Ke Taruo's in the 【Chaos】 temple.

Then he woke the knight up, gave him a slap in the face amidst the knight's murderous gaze, threw him far away, and said coldly:

"The Yu Hui Sect is really going downhill; do you think this is still Gasimela?

This is the power center of the Tower of Reason, the permanent residence of the Scholarly Chair Council, and the paradise where countless 【Truth】 believers make their pilgrimage. The spread of disorderly chaos will only allow this group of shrewd scholars to find loopholes and escape. If the great scholars run away because of this, who can guarantee that there won't be a second Tower of Reason standing on the Star Fall Continent!?

If there really is such a day, wouldn't the will of my Lord never have a moment of resonance with the universe?

Can the Yu Hui Sect afford this responsibility?"

The Death Knell Knight was stunned by the question; the brain of this 【Chaos】 believer might not be sharp, but his piety was worthy of respect.

He clearly felt that the mysterious person in front of him was from his own camp and held a high status, but he still stiffened his neck and argued:

"【Chaos】 is inherently disorderly; we worship the benefactor, follow the benefactor, and offer to the benefactor. What is wrong with that?"

Cheng Shi smiled, but the smile quickly faded, and he put on a cold face and scolded:

"The only reason you can survive in my hands is your piety to Him.

But ignorant piety is a burden that drags down faith!

You must know that if temporary blasphemy can bring more piety, then blasphemy is not necessarily a form of piety.

Get lost, call the person in charge of the Yu Hui Sect to me, otherwise, if the Scholarly Chair Council is let go, I don't mind breaking up the sect with my own hands and replacing it with a pious believer to raise the 【Chaos】 banner again."

By this time, even a fool could tell the identity of the person in front of them. The Death Knell Knights were the backbone of the Yu Hui Sect. When listening to the doctrine, they had naturally heard the higher-ups repeatedly mention a certain lord who acted on the will of the benefactor. It was just that this small Death Knell Knight couldn't believe that the person in front of him was that lord, so he stood there stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi knew that a single sentence wouldn't be enough to make the other party completely believe him, so he snorted coldly, took out the 【Chaos】 vessel from his bosom, and smashed it at the Death Knell Knight.

This colorful vessel happened to hit the Death Knell Knight on the head, causing him to bleed instantly, but after feeling the incredibly pure 【Chaos】 power within it, the Death Knell Knight not only didn't dare to be angry, but instead respectfully placed the vessel back at his feet and then ran away toward the outside of the alley.

While running, he roared frantically:

"The Lord is here! The Lord is here!

The proxy of my Lord has arrived in person; the world will fall into eternal chaos. Praise 【Chaos】! Praise 【Chaos】!"

"......"

Hu Xuan had been standing on the side from beginning to end, watching Cheng Shi act with great interest. The smile at the corner of her mouth grew wider and wider, as if she were enjoying a clown circus.

Of course, whether something else was mixed into this appreciative gaze, no one could say clearly.

The circus was originally very good to watch, but when Cheng Shi took out something without warning and smashed it at the Death Knell Knight, the smile on Hu Xuan's face froze.

She knew all too well what that thing was, because as someone who possessed a vessel, she recognized the aura of this thing immediately.

But the problem was, why could Cheng Shi take out a vessel?

"Take out" here didn't mean that Cheng Shi could possess a vessel; she knew deeply that since even she could obtain the gaze and bestowal of the benefactor, then as such an outstanding 【Fraud】 believer, there was no reason for Cheng Shi not to be bestowed a vessel; it was only a matter of time.

So Hu Xuan wasn't surprised that Cheng Shi could possess a vessel; she didn't even think there was any problem with the fact that the vessel in Cheng Shi's hand wasn't 【Fraud】 but 【Chaos】. What shocked her was why Cheng Shi could materialize the vessel!

Because her vessel only existed in her consciousness and was formless and invisible; it was completely impossible to materialize.

Hu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and explained:

"Cheng Shi, I did not deceive you; my vessel......"

Cheng Shi was taken aback, picked up the vessel on the ground, smiled, and waved his hand at Hu Xuan:

"Don't be too sensitive; our...... our pure friendship shouldn't have to withstand groundless tests.

I know you didn't lie to me; when I got these vessels, I knew that your situation and mine were different."

Leaving aside her 【Birth】 desire for Cheng Shi, Hu Xuan was first and foremost a shrewd, high-scoring player; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to climb to the position of Chosen just by relying on a touch of accidental favor. So she keenly captured the word "these" in Cheng Shi's words, and her eyes were instantly filled with shock.

Not long ago, the other party had only learned of the existence of vessels from her own mouth, yet at this moment, he was already discussing the magnitude of vessels?

How many vessels did he have in his hands?

Where did they come from?

The benefactor clearly said that before truly becoming a Messenger, mortals could not possess other vessels, so Cheng Shi......

Hu Xuan thought a lot for a moment, but she didn't ask a single question, just continued to listen silently to Cheng Shi's narration.

"I guess 【Birth】 focuses on His offspring, so He doesn't want to achieve any other purpose through vessels, so He bestowed a vessel upon you but didn't give you the power to trade vessels.

Don't be surprised, you heard me right; it is trading.

Vessels can naturally be traded; as for why they need to be traded, it's not something I decided, but......"

As he spoke, Cheng Shi pointed to the sky.

Hu Xuan's mouth couldn't close; she really couldn't figure out that if vessels could be traded, what was the difference between this and selling official posts? Had the gods already let go of the position of subordinate gods and started to let an...... "agent" manipulate the divine throne?

But once she thought that the person "manipulating the divine throne" was Cheng Shi, Hu Xuan put her heart back in her stomach.

She understood Cheng Shi too well; she knew that once this matter fell on Cheng Shi, it meant that her allies would only become more and more numerous. After all, "Fate Weaver's Choice" was a gold-lettered signboard.

"I roughly understand the matter of the vessels, and I've guessed your plan a little, but Cheng Shi, the identity you are playing......"

"Are you sure the original owner of 【Chaos】 won't come to trouble you?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi smiled meaningfully.

Acting as myself, where would trouble come from?

Besides, who would come to trouble me?

Ke Taruo?

It would be good enough if the real owner didn't trouble the substitute; even if he came, the pious Ke Taruo would probably only say one sentence: "Praise the great Ultraman Lord."

At this moment, Ke Taruo's emotions were much purer than those of Chen Yi or Meng Youfang.
