Fire-passing mission

The perspective switches again, this time to the Fire-Passing Hall.

From a certain moment, that candle-person who often illuminated the Fire-Passing Hall and played tricks with the Fire-Passers disappeared. No one could find Him, not even Qin Xin.

But everyone knew that He was still here, protecting the Fire-Passers, and had not left.

At first, Qin Xin was somewhat puzzled, but once he thought about his impending succession to the throne and becoming the new 【War】, he seemed to understand the position of the Fire of Hope.

When there is a true god who can hold up a sky for the Fire-Passers, the Fire of Hope no longer needs to constantly cheer for the anxious Fire-Passers.

Perhaps hiding in the darkness and quietly illuminating a corner that needs to be illuminated is what He truly wants to do.

And today, in this corner, there is not only the Fire of Hope, but also a little bird.

Seeing Bai Ling.

The Audience of the Assembly had ended. No matter how wonderful the audiences of other faiths were, and no matter what kind of encouragement the audience-seekers received from their benefactors, at least 【Deception】's Audience of the Assembly was very plain—no, it should be said it was very mysterious.

Since it ended, topics related to the audience with gods in various channels had been rampant, and the heat remained high. Only 【Deception】's Audience of the Assembly didn't have a single piece of news.

Usually, these deceivers would love to attract the attention of the whole world, and the things they made up could scare people to death or make them laugh to death.

But this time, not a single person among that group of peak deceivers revealed even a bit of inside information about the Audience of the Assembly!

No one knew what had happened in 【Deception】's Audience of the Assembly, to the point that those few deceivers who were a few minutes away from participating in the Audience of the Assembly were almost going crazy. They felt that this group of dogs must have received huge benefits in the Audience of the Assembly; otherwise, it would be impossible to be so united, all closing their mouths and not leaking a bit of news.

Even close friends who had lived and died together in trials couldn't find out a single secret.

Is this normal?

Absolutely not normal!

Thus, all the deceivers who didn't participate began their crazy fantasies about that mysterious Audience of the Assembly. Some said they became gods, some said they became 【Deception】's puppets, and others said they contacted a higher-dimensional world and thus disdained to speak in the novice village... In short, it was all-encompassing.

However, the true participants had bitterness they couldn't speak of!

What could they say?

A group of peak deceivers were played by a Fate-Weaver at the Audience of the Assembly, to the point that they were invited out of the void without even seeing the benefactor?

Even if they said it, would anyone believe it?

Perhaps someone would say, never mind whether others believe it, you should just say it first.

How do you know they didn't say it!?

Someone said it!

The Trickster Master Lao Ba couldn't stand this "grievance" at all and used his C language, which had reached the peak, to tell everything that happened at the Audience of the Assembly in the Mage channel!

To reflect the truth, he even pasted the psychology of everyone during the review!

And then?

Then he received angry sprays from countless old mages, saying he should make it look a bit more realistic when he makes it up. Do you think the peak deceivers are all fools?

"......"

Isn't it?

He couldn't answer this question.

There was something even more hateful: someone actually scolded him, saying he was likely the Fate-Weaver himself, trying to put gold on his own face in a roundabout way.

I was deceived by the Fate-Weaver, and you still want to slander me as the Fate-Weaver!?

The 【Nothingness】 era couldn't be this absurd!!

The Trickster Master had a breakdown. He once considered abandoning his oath and going to 【Silence】.

It was amidst this clamor that Seeing Bai Ling returned to the Fire-Passing Hall calmly.

She gained a lot at the Audience of the Assembly. Not only did she untie the knot of not daring to face the big shots, but she also "helped" the other party with a favor.

Although the big shot said "helped a big favor," Seeing Bai Ling felt that the other party must be being polite and encouraging her along the way. However... even if it wasn't a "big favor," a "small favor" should be fine, right?

Just this was enough to make her happy, but there was something even happier: she finally confirmed the identity of the Fire of Hope—it was the big shot, it was Foolish Play!

And what could be more worth being happy about than the fact that the big shot who had helped her was still protecting a group of people like her?

If there was, it was that after the Audience of the Assembly, He summoned her again.

For example, now.

Seeing Bai Ling stood still, looking calm, but her blinking eyes had already exposed the emotions in her heart.

By comparison, the expression of the candle-person opposite her wasn't that relaxed. At least this time, the candle-person didn't hang down from mid-air, but stood straight before her.

He sized up Seeing Bai Ling, seemingly having seen through the reason for the other party's joy.

However, He knew that once He opened His mouth, the other party's joy would be stripped away.

So the Fire of Hope didn't speak for a long time, until Seeing Bai Ling noticed the abnormality and asked with pursed lips: "Big shot?"

The Fire of Hope smiled, and a classic Cheng Shi-style smile appeared on the face outlined by flames.

"【Origin】 has been here."

"!!??"

Reasonably speaking, only the Salary-Seeker and above among the Fire-Passers would know this taboo divine name; ordinary Fire-Passers wouldn't know.

Seeing Bai Ling knew, because she was already a Salary-Seeker of the City-Breaker; otherwise, she wouldn't have the qualifications to pull Xie Yang into fire-passing.

Her growth had ultimately received the affirmation of all her comrades, and the blood on her arrow tip also let Qin Xin see her bravery and determination.

But no matter how brave or determined a person was, they would tremble when hearing the two words 【Origin】. That was definitely not something a mortal should face; that was the god above gods, the existence furthest from them.

The Fire of Hope didn't give her a chance to catch her breath and recover. He tapped lightly, tapping on Seeing Bai Ling's forehead, and played a scene for this strong Fire-Passer.

After seeing the scene at that moment, the strong Fire-Passer collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.

The Fire of Hope helped her up, gripped her wrist tightly, drove the flames to dispel her fear, and said:

"This is a fire-passing mission, top secret level. Besides you and me, even Qin Xin cannot know.

Remember this scene and spread the news that 【He】 has been here.

But remember, no Fire-Passer can know about this."

Seeing Bai Ling was still trembling. The fear that struck her soul almost drained all her strength. She gasped for breath, like a drowning person who had just been saved ashore.

After a long time, she recovered from the fear that felt like an abyss. She gritted her teeth, looked up at the Fire of Hope, looked at the big shot who had suddenly given her a "blow," suppressed her fear, and replaced it with determination:

"Good, I know what to do.

But... big shot, why before at the Audience of the Assembly, you..."

The Fire of Hope knew what the other party wanted to ask and sighed gloomily:

"Involuntary.

The Universe is not united. Some words cannot be said in front of Him."

Seeing Bai Ling widened her eyes suddenly, disbelieving: "Even 【Deception】 cannot be trusted?"

The flames swayed, and the candle-person's eyes were deep and unreadable.

"He is very trustworthy, but I, no one trusts me anymore.

Go, I will cover your tracks. Complete all this as soon as possible, let the world know 【He】 has been here."

Seeing Bai Ling was very smart. As a believer of 【Deception】, she seemed to have guessed what such large-scale information dissemination was for, but she didn't say it, nor did she ask deeply. She just paused before leaving, bit her lip tightly, and asked:

"Big... Cheng Shi, will we meet again?"

The Fire of Hope smiled:

"Yes, of course we will.

The new world you and I wish for will arrive..."

Listening to this affirmative answer, Seeing Bai Ling's expression became more determined. She nodded heavily and left the Fire-Passing Hall.

After she left, looking at that thin and determined figure, the candle-person's tone changed:

"... will it?"

His voice was very light, ethereal and formless like hope.

As soon as the words fell, a figure walked out from the darkness behind the flames.

The Fire of Hope turned His back to him, joyless and sorrowless:

"Knowing 【He】 has been here is not enough. The world needs to know how ruthless the Creator is.

Being abandoned... is better than dying, or being imprisoned.

Go do it, use your wisdom to make the world believe you."

That figure remained silent for a long time and asked gloomily:

"Why choose me?"

The Fire of Hope smiled: "I don't have much choice now. Wei Mu and the solution... are not suitable, and cannot be used."

"I never thought getting close to you would have this result."

"Regret it?"

"No." That voice suddenly became somewhat fanatical and excited. "Never. If there is a fragment I wrote myself in the final chapter of an era's script, I will die without regret."

"But this is inconsistent with your wish to become a god."

That figure suddenly laughed out loud, and the laughter became more and more insane: "Become a god... how can it be as interesting as killing a god, especially killing such a god!"

The Fire of Hope's flames stalled, shaking His head slowly:

"Kill?

How to talk about killing?

Wishful thinking is no different from self-deception.

He can reach this step, it has already far exceeded my expectations." ===== CHAPTER 1393 =====
