Chapter 1341: The Liar's Setup: Deceiving the Gods

The Liar's Setup: Deceiving the Gods

Just like that, under the nose of the 【Iron Law of Order】, the three clowns successfully joined forces.

Li Wufang, who was present, became the only one who didn't know the truth. He never imagined that the "Cheng Shi" who followed him to request an audience with the 【Iron Law of Order】 was no longer Cheng Shi, because the dice in his hand weren't Cheng Shi's, but Zhen Xin's. Never-lost gambling tools and elusive chips were talents; magicians were best at stealing talents, especially when the other party opened up to cooperate!

Having experienced too much, Cheng Shi had long since seen through the nature of the 【Iron Law of Order】. He knew that even if there was confusion, the other party would never admit His 【Chaos】 identity.

Because the performance, having been acted in too deeply, had made Him completely forget the fact that He was 【Chaos】. His only obsession now was to hold onto the last trace of order in this era where order was gradually declining.

And His existence was the last order!

The 【Iron Law of Order】 would definitely not believe the proof of a mortal; He would likely not look at any memory from a 【Memory】 believer at all.

Cheng Shi showing this memory wasn't to prove the identity of the 【Iron Law of Order】 on the spot; he was intensifying the conflict.

However, just in case, he still made arrangements.

There were many forms of showing memory. Cheng Shi specifically had the Long Wang turn the so-called memory into the most fragile bubbles. In this way, when transferring the evidence, these bubbles would be easily pricked.

And with the arrogance and self-restraint of a god, as well as the resistance of the 【Iron Law of Order】 to proving His own identity, when the bubbles were pricked, He would certainly not ask a mortal for another piece of evidence.

In this way, the conflict between man and god over identity questioning could be intensified to the greatest extent!

And the ultimate goal of intensifying the conflict was to make the 【Iron Law of Order】 fall into an emotional trap. Whether it was irritability or anger, in short, it was to make His emotions boil and His will waver, thereby evoking the most essential 【Chaos】 will in His heart.

But this still wasn't enough!

A mortal is a mortal after all. Even if he could climb onto the table, the chips were still too few.

So he had to add some ingredients to this emotional stimulation, and these ingredients were the three gods of the Fear Sect!

The appearance of 【Death】, 【Silence】, and 【Time】 was not an accident, but helpers Cheng Shi had sought out one by one through repeated audiences!

Of course, Zhen Xin, who was playing Cheng Shi, didn't know all this, and Cheng Shi hadn't told her either. Only in this way could she create an aura in front of the 【Iron Law of Order】 that "Cheng Shi" himself must be holding key evidence sufficient to expose the other party's identity.

It was also because of this that the arrival of the three gods further aggravated the 【Iron Law of Order】's self-doubt.

Thus, the story began to develop in the direction of the script Cheng Shi had written with his own hands.

Aside from the small episode of coming to the 【Memory】 archive, the plan proceeded perfectly. This was not only because Cheng Shi had thoroughly understood the will of the 【Order】 lineage and exerted steadiness to the extreme, but also because this script had a second screenwriter!

【Deception】!

That's right, 【Deception】 had indeed made a move.

Just as Cheng Shi said to Zhen Xin, He was forced to make a move.

Cheng Shi used his status as the Fixed to threaten, insisting on getting a 【Order】 divine throne at this point in time. Although this didn't match the rhythm of 【Deception】's plan, He indeed couldn't let the Fixed bear even a trace of risk at such a time.

Thus, He entered the game, and the first thing He did was to make Zhen Xin's performance deceive the universe.

No one discovered the clues of "Cheng Shi," not even those three gods!

This was not only because 【Deception】 was good at deceiving, but also because when Cheng Shi sought help from the three gods, he completed an incomparably tacit cooperation with his benefactor without any communication!

What he said to the three gods wasn't the whole plan; he just used Zhen Xin as himself to persuade them, making the most of the identity dividend of the Fixed.

Afterward, he completely disappeared from the universe's field of vision and was "shelved" by 【Deception】.

When the three gods appeared, they only thought that the "Cheng Shi" played by Zhen Xin was Cheng Shi, which was why the scene of 【Death】 angrily blocking the Final Edict and 【Silence】 descending only to be silenced in turn occurred!

Even 【Time】 only realized at the last moment, upon hearing the prayer of the real Cheng Shi, that He had also been deceived.

Two liars, one big and one small, just like that, without communicating a single word, deceived the entire universe.

And the second thing 【Deception】 did was to return everything belonging to 【Chaos】 that He had usurped to the other party when 【Chaos】 returned.

He understood 【Chaos】 better than any god; otherwise, He couldn't have fooled 【Chaos】 into becoming 【Order】 back then.

Previously, He needed the authority of 【Chaos】 because there was a secret He had to hide from the entire universe, but now, He didn't need to hide it anymore, and He had to resolve this crisis of identity reversal before the final plan was implemented.

He knew that the present was an excellent opportunity to resolve the potential risks of 【Chaos】, so taking advantage of Cheng Shi's operation, He also began to close the net.

Thus, at the moment 【Chaos】 wanted to pollute Cheng Shi's status as the Fixed with the Final Edict, 【Deception】 performed an operation that was extremely consistent with His own personality yet incomparably critical:

He deceived Cheng Shi's name, making the universe forget the meaning of the two words "Cheng Shi" at that moment!

This wasn't difficult. 【Deception】 is the appearance of 【Nothingness】 and was already good at hiding. Moreover, He had previously seized the authority of 【Memory】, and the river of 【Existence】 flowing in 【Nothingness】 was the best proof!

So at the moment before 【Chaos】 self-destructed, He suddenly couldn't remember what Cheng Shi was called, and could only point in shock and anger at the specific target "Cheng Shi" in front of Him, saying:

"I bestow upon him the status of Messenger, holding the authority of 【Chaos】, and allow him to inherit everything of Mine!

【Deception】, I know your methods, but there are some things even you cannot defy!

Because, this is the Final Edict!"

【Chaos】 realized that 【Deception】 was making mischief, but He also found a solution, and that solution was naturally to point at the target and designate "him" as the successor to the divine throne and authority.

The Final Edict was indeed impossible to defy.

Thus, under the personal designation of a god and the rigid justice of 【Justice (Order)】, the magician Zhen Xin inherited everything of 【Chaos】, ascended to the divine throne under the gaze of the gods, and became the first god in this game to truly transform from a mortal!

It had to be said that the plan was executed perfectly, with almost every step proceeding according to Cheng Shi's will.

But there were risks in the process. At least in Cheng Shi's view, the only risk in this great drama of succession was Zhen Xin herself.

If Zhen Yi, who felt the fun, suddenly woke up halfway and added some solo acts to the script, the whole plan would be completely ruined.

Fortunately, Zhen Xin had guaranteed that she would definitely watch over her sister, and Zhen Yi indeed hadn't appeared, which allowed Cheng Shi to breathe a sigh of relief.

There was one more thing that was very intriguing.

How did 【Memory】 know that 【Order】 had been replaced by 【Chaos】?

To be honest, the memory in that collection item was fundamentally wrong, with obvious discrepancies in details from the history that had truly occurred. But strangely, that perspective was clearly Cheng Shi's own perspective, which meant that 【Memory】 had selected His collection item from Cheng Shi's memory.

But the problem was, how could He do this?

And why would He stuff a smeared memory into His own archive?

This was not very 【Memory】!

If 【Memory】 could really select memories from Cheng Shi's brain at will, He should have known the truth of the universe long ago.

【Deception】's protection wasn't some wall of true knowledge that couldn't stop a thief, and Cheng Shi didn't believe 【Memory】 would be so biased toward the God of Fun. So after Cheng Shi arrived at the scene, his gaze swept meaningfully over the Long Wang.

Perhaps only the Long Wang could explain all this for him.

Of course, before that, some tricky things had to be dealt with.

Deceiving people is fun for a moment, but explaining is a crematorium. He had deceived 【Death】 and 【Silence】 like this...

【Silence】 was easy to talk to; after all, even if He had an opinion, He could only hold it in.

But Boss 【Death】...

Seeing the giant skull, whose bonds had been loosened by the 【Convention】 under the void, with green flames raging in His eyes, He turned to look at the "just appeared" Cheng Shi and said word by word:

"Good, good, good!"

Cheng Shi's face stiffened, not daring to giggle.

Boss, please stop praising; the praise makes me afraid... ===== CHAPTER 1342 =====
