How did I recover?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his strength fully restored, as it had been when he first entered the trial, Cao San Sui was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him—Nangong beside him also looked much better, showing no sign of his earlier injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui’s heart tightened; he immediately pulled out his pocket watch and glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight hours had passed since the anchor time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he’d only slept for two hours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That doesn’t make sense... How could two hours restore him this much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, Cao San Sui reached out and swept his hand through the air, sensing the flow of time around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followers of [Time] are highly sensitive to the passage of time, but can only vaguely feel whether it has passed quickly or slowly, not the exact minutes or hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, time had not passed much—perhaps only two or three hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how had he recovered so completely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, puzzled, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong felt his gaze but said nothing, merely nodding toward the door, then continuing to bandage Xia Wan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their conditions had improved, their wounds had not fully healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Wan, coldly, said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We just woke up too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui, who had scored 1900, was no fool—he blurted out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it the cola?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Wan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s Cheng Shi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Outside keeping watch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cao San Sui’s brow tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His recovery within two hours must be tied to Cheng Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know whether this was a special ability of a high-ranked priest or if Cheng Shi had performed extra healing—he only knew that if Cheng Shi had harbored ill intent while they slept, they would all be dead by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he hadn’t acted—or rather, fortunately, he wasn’t of an opposing faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more fortunate: no enemies had arrived during these two hours!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui instinctively felt a chill of dread; he rose and walked grimly out of the treehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the treehouse, Cheng Shi was chatting with Chen Chong and Song Yawen; their expressions suggested they, too, had regained some strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui thought of how all five of them had slept at once, leaving only Cheng Shi—still a priest—on watch, and couldn’t believe it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you insane? Putting five people to sleep at once? Even if you had healing potions, you should’ve revived them one by one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three turned around. Song Yawen grinned but said nothing. Chen Chong’s expression didn’t change, but his twitching eyelid clearly revealed his disapproval of Cheng Shi’s move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Cheng Shi scratched his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Don’t make things up—I just woke up too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「？？？？？」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui’s soul trembled deeply; he never dared to think Cheng Shi had such audacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheng Shi! You’re playing with everyone’s lives! If anything went wrong in between, we could all be wiped out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi nodded deeply in agreement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, the risk is too great. Not worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui’s scolding tone faltered; seeing Cheng Shi’s attitude and words, he’d assumed Cheng Shi wasn’t the culprit—almost as if Cheng Shi were also denouncing the instigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know the risk—and you still gamble?” Cao San Sui laughed in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi spread his hands: “But I won. We’re back at peak combat readiness, aren’t we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Either way, we’re stuck here two hours. Just tell me—was this gamble worth it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui sat beside them with a constipated expression, letting out a heavy sigh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next time something like this happens, please warn me first. I don’t want to die of fright before I even get to see 【Time】.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Cheng Shi wasn’t joking. He looked apologetic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wouldn’t agree—or the group wouldn’t want to gamble—but the truth is, we may not have enough time for everyone to recover in turn. Danger is drawing near. Every second we can gain matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if something...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the outcome, that ‘what if’ never happened.” Cheng Shi grinned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui fell silent. Chen Chong cursed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No next time, Cheng Shi. I hate uncertainty. Fuck, you don’t act like a believer of 【Birth】—you’re more like a believer of 【Fate】...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi laughed, extended his hand, and summoned a sliver of healing light, gesturing over Chen Chong:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t believe me? I can make you feel what it’s like to be a mother right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chen Chong could react, Song Yawen leapt ten meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui stared at the green glow in Cheng Shi’s hand and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi knew he meant the cola. He dismissed the healing light and clicked his tongue:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I call it ‘Soothing Healing.’ I mixed potent sleeping pills with an A-rank potion called ‘Past Prosperity.’ It’s a top-tier healing remedy combining 【Memory】 divine power and 【Prosperity】 divine power. I had six bottles stored—now, all gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added a look of visible pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another A-rank? I’ve never heard of this potion. Was it a Ladder reward?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi shrugged. “Don’t know. I traded for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone actually traded this kind of lifesaver?” Song Yawen ran back, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sometimes, purpose matters more than life.” Cheng Shi sighed quietly, thinking of someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re dead, what’s the point of hoarding all these treasures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you lose your purpose, what’s the point of living?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he strongly disapproved of Cheng Shi’s actions, Cao San Sui still acknowledged it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the trial ends, I’ll repay you with an equivalent potion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi’s eyes lit up. “That’s too kind of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his gaze was already hungry, sweeping over Cao San Sui, scanning for hidden treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone said the 2000-point expert was eccentric. Seeing Cheng Shi now, it was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already accepted Cheng Shi’s 2000 points without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since everyone’s awake and in good condition, what now?” Cao San Sui asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Proceed as planned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chong, seeing Cheng Shi had no intention of commanding, scowled and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, then let’s call them...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Cao San Sui could stand, a wave of searing heat surged from beneath the ground, slamming into their faces. His expression turned shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also gasped in alarm, rising instantly to stare at the ground beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Cheng Shi, face grim, looked up at the sky and gritted his teeth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit—it’s Meteor Fire Rain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S-rank Forbidden Art: Meteor Fire Rain??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yawen’s voice cracked with terror. He looked up—and there, far beyond the horizon, a terrifying, colossal phantom sun slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames erupted along its rim; each spark that flew free became a massive meteor, streaking across the sky and hurtling toward the plain where they stood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the space of a breath, meteors fell like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi bolted without hesitation, giving not an ounce of restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to wait for anyone—every teammate here ran faster than he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui’s expression hardened, and the next instant, a zone acceleration spell manifested before them; Song Yawen vanished like a shadow, Chen Chong activated Warrior Charge, grabbed Cheng Shi and Cao San Sui one in each hand, and sprinted outward like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures above the treehouse moved faster; Xia Wan scooped up the petite Nangong and leapt from branch to branch in mere bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chong’s forward speed was too great; the gale made Cheng Shi’s face sting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao San Sui was no better off—he cried out in utter shock:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t a technique cultivable in the Underworld! This is a forbidden art only an Element Judge of Hope Continent can wield! What identities have we assumed, to be enemies of both sides?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enemies? No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these six of us truly were enemies of Hope Continent, an Element Judge would never use a cataclysmic spell like this to punish us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are six people in a war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What merit do we have to warrant a meteor rain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi’s face darkened—he realized a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This meteor rain wasn’t meant for us! This damn thing is meant to halt the Right Wing’s Demon Horde!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1426,"2026-06-21T06:05:06.137Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","919b1eedce273ffdfe9223a2da93600289cad5093a831eb30fa04ef6c1aa4ffd","the-gods-foolish-game-chapter-12","the-gods-foolish-game-chapter-10",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-gods-foolish-game-cover.jpg"]
