Why are you repeating the path I have walked?

On the matter of becoming a god, Cheng Shi has always believed that those who want to become gods have no subjective initiative.

Even if they do, it is useless, because true gods need the 【Origin】 to name them, and subordinate gods also need true gods to speak and act on their authority.

This creates an awkward situation, where all the efforts of mortals can only be to win the pity of the gods, and then be "bestowed" a divine position.

He never thought that there is a kind of god that does not need the recognition of other gods.

Thinking back to the small note that Old Man Zhang handed to him after Sandres, it was written that when Old Man Zhang asked the God of Fun about the existence of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, the God of Fun once said:

"He has never appeared, nor has he disappeared.

When you know Him, you don't know Him.

When you understand Him, you don't understand Him either.

Only He knows and understands Himself, and once an outsider truly knows Him, understands Him, then He...

Is no longer Him."

At this moment, combined with what the Fire of Hope said, Cheng Shi realizes with a start.

It turns out that as early as Sandres, 【Deception】 had already given the answer to becoming a god, but at that time he didn't think of this point at all, still looking at the container, searching everywhere, until today, being pointed out by the Fire of Hope again...

Yes, the present is the moment for "Him" to know and understand Himself.

Actually, Envoy Envoy Yu Xi probably "was born" the moment he teased with Brother Mouth and said this name!

Cheng Shi is still sorting out his thoughts, while the Fire of Hope thinks he is shocked, still talking to himself about the "road to becoming a god" he prepared for Cheng Shi.

"With my understanding of 【Deception】's will, if you want to become His messenger, first, you must have a divine name that makes the world 'believe when they hear it'.

This divine name can be strange, but it must remain mysterious.

And then the most important step is to spread faith and absorb believers!

Faith is the foundation of gods, and the spread of faith is not a one-time effort. The method of spreading is the most important of the most important. Since you want to become 【Deception】's messenger, you will naturally not be trusted by the world, so the strategy of announcing it widely from the beginning definitely won't work.

I suggest that this matter can start from a small range. Although you are a Fate-Weaver, I also know that you are an old liar. Use your lying skills to deceive a few mortals, preferably believers of 【Deception】.

When you can beat them in lying, they will naturally be attracted to you. At that time, you only need to reveal some cognition or means that mortals cannot possess, then with the character of 【Deception】's believers... cough cough, way of thinking, you probably don't need to say it, they will also develop infinite associations about your identity.

As long as this step can succeed, you can sit back and receive the power of faith next.

I understand His believers. These liars, in order to pull a tiger skin, will spare no effort to borrow your identity, thereby spreading your divine name in disguise. You only need to show up more, leave traces among different mortals, and they will naturally connect everything and actively 'find' you from past history.

And then, you only need to find a major event in past history and declare it, then your lie will become the past that once existed in the cognition of mortals, and the supporters will also write a footnote for your existence.

This is 【Deception】's means of polluting 【Memory】. Your liar benefactor uses it skillfully, and I think you won't be bad either.

And then, you will harvest a batch of faith from 【Deception】's believers, but this is not enough, because this is 【Deception】's faith pool, and doing so can only be considered as receiving the benefactor's shade.

Faith is not in keeping, but in fighting.

So what you have to do is to spread your faith outwards, preferably using a feat that can be seen by the world to win over a batch of new believers. In this way, your faith will be deeply rooted here, and your status will be stabilized.

Finally, you... what's wrong with you?

Why do you keep blinking your eyes?

Are you questioning my strategy?

Humph, do you know how long I have polished this 【Deception】 messenger god-making method?

For many years, I have silently felt His will in every exchange with 【Deception】. Thanks to my origin in 【Fate】, I can see through the essence to some extent, and I gradually understood His will and figured out His temper.

This is definitely the messenger promotion method He is happy to see and willing to see. You just need to follow it, then this divine position...

Enough, Fate-Weaver, your gaze is like looking at a fool!

I warn you, you are not His messenger yet. As an ally, and a mortal, you should give me, the only subordinate god of 【Nothingness】 at present, a little respect."

"..."

Cheng Shi blinks, shakes his head, and nods again, acting like a machine.

Not because of shock, but because... confusion.

He is indeed confused.

I didn't disrespect you, I respect you too much.

Everything you said is right, 【Deception】's messenger should be born like this.

But the problem is, why are you repeating the path I have walked?

Did you install surveillance on me!?

Although most of what the Fire of Hope said has become his past, Cheng Shi has no joy in walking this path ahead of time in his heart, only the powerlessness towards the established.

True, it is the established again!

If it weren't for the gods pushing, how could he have walked so smoothly?

But is the god pushing this really only 【Deception】?

Admittedly, the path under his feet is leading to the position of 【Deception】's messenger, but think about it, since even the messenger discarded by 【Fate】 can figure out such a path, then as the sibling god of 【Deception】, the true 【Fate】, with His ability to see through the essence, can He not see it?

Did He foresee all this long ago, so He agreed to the fusion with 【Deception】?

Did He borrow 【Deception】's favor towards himself to complete His polishing of the offering?

Is the so-called established path he walked originally a conspiracy, just to let the eyes of the Fear Faction focus on himself, so as to get the divine support of the Fear Faction members who are strangers to Him, so that the offering can complete the "fusion" of all faith?

For a time, Cheng Shi's thoughts fly, always feeling that this game is getting deeper and deeper, and there is no way to escape.

His answer, his hope, his future, and his fear have long been fused together and cannot be separated.

The scene falls into silence again, and at this time Cheng Shi also silently asks Brother Mouth a question in his heart:

"Brother Mouth, are even you a part of this established?"

Cheng Shi remembers that the name Envoy Envoy Yu Xi was decided precisely because Brother Mouth gave affirmation at the first time, so he has to suspect that the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi is likely one of the keys in this game.

Even... is it possible that it once betrayed 【Deception】 and switched to 【Fate】?

Just as Cheng Shi is gossiping, the Lips of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi responds. Its response is as always...

"·Aren't you a human, when did you become a chicken-butt?"

"...?"

Cheng Shi's eyelids jump wildly, counting on his fingers how many times he has been scolded.
