Chapter 1407

Please Let Me Be a Useful Person

Cheng Shi silently sorted out the several "new gods" who were about to ascend the throne.

Qin Xin goes without saying. After taking back everything of 【War】 in the real universe, at this time, except for not yet enjoying the divine name, he is almost no different from the real 【War】.

Long Wang is also the same. At least before 【Memory】 left, He left the container representing the 【Memory】 collection hall to His believers, which indicates that He has already chosen a successor for His throne.

Li Wufang's situation may be slightly worse. After all, Cheng Shi only got the 【Order】 container. To push the investigator to the throne, he must let 【Justice (Order)】 acknowledge the real 【Order】. 【Arrogance (Order)】's expectations and entrustment to Li Wufang before self-destruction are effective.

But in terms of 【Justice (Order)】's rigidity, this point may not be easy, but it doesn't matter, Cheng Shi still has a backup plan.

Even if Li Wufang's succession is blocked, he can initiate a Divine Covenant Assembly to directly push the investigator to the divine throne by voting.

Counting down, 【Prosperity】, 【Death】, 【Truth】, 【War】, 【Chaos】, 【Silence】, 【Existence】, 【Nothingness】... the Fear faction has long controlled the ticket warehouse and mastered absolute right to speak. As long as 【Fraud】 returns, the 【Covenant】 will no longer be a restriction on Them, but a tool for the Fear faction to manage the universe.

I have to say, the 【Covenant】 is a good move, especially for the weak seeking the throne.

It's just that I don't know if 【Fraud】 had already thought of this situation when He was fooling the gods into signing the 【Covenant】.

In addition to the above three, there was an unexpected "joy" in the Fire-Spreading Hall this time.

That old friend who was afraid of causing trouble in the Fire-Spreading Hall, Nangong, seems to have adapted to the erosion of the 【Decay】 container.

Qin Xin told Cheng Shi that the erosion power of the 【Decay】 container is weakening, and Nangong no longer needs to struggle and endure for too long every day.

Cheng Shi was stunned, and instantly realized that perhaps it was not Nangong who adapted to 【Decay】, but the real 【Decay】... is about to fail.

Although in the game, 【Decay】 believers did not all die, 【Decay】, who learned the truth of the universe, no longer kept His eyes on this starry sky at the moment.

He is fighting for the Creator's mercy with countless 【Decay】 like Him, but walking to this step, 【Origin】's mercy has not arrived, but He is about to "annihilate" first.

No matter how 【Decay】 is in the eyes of the world, at least this rotting giant did not make things too difficult for himself, and even bestowed the authority of acting, which once became his confidence in fighting the enemy.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi felt mixed feelings in his heart.

The era of the old gods is destined to turn the page.

They pursue their own will and fall one after another on the road of approaching or moving away from 【Origin】, but they will not exit immediately, because the place where they fall is fertile soil, about to birth new gods.

With the idea of catching another divine throne by the way, Cheng Shi set his sights on 【Decay】. If he doesn't hit it now, he won't be able to hit it.

He summoned Nangong in the Fire-Spreading Hall in the identity of "Fire of Hope."

And when Nangong discovered that the god protecting the fire-spreaders was Cheng Shi... this little girl who was deceived to pieces looked at the Fire of Hope in front of her and "shattered" again.

"You..."

Cheng Shi smiled: "What about me?"

"You can't be the Fire of Hope." Nangong still couldn't believe it.

"Why is it impossible?"

"Because you are Cheng Shi!"

"..."

Outsiders hearing this reason might find it funny. After all, what kind of reason is this, but for Cheng Shi, this is the only reason.

That's right, it is precisely because I am Cheng Shi that I am not anyone, nor do I want to be anyone.

But it is also because I am Cheng Shi that I must be anyone, and must become the person I don't want to be, no, god.

A flash of astonishment flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes. He never expected that this simplest and most direct truth close to his heart would be pointed out by a pure girl today.

But immediately, a smile spread across his face.

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"

Nangong's eyes were still full of shock. She nodded slightly stiffly: "God-making plan."

"Right, God-making plan.

Actually, the God-making plan has long been successful.

You should know that the fire-spreaders launched the God-making plan to create a god to resist the oppression of the gods and return the world to clarity.

The moment Qin Xin got the 【War】 authority, this plan theoretically ended, and given the current status of the universe, a true god, especially 【War】, is enough to protect the fire-spreaders to the 'end'. You shouldn't have to endure so much suffering anymore.

It hurts, right?"

Cheng Shi looked at the scar on Nangong's hand. Nangong trembled slightly, shook her head, pulled her hand back into her sleeve, and hid it behind her.

"I volunteered."

"I certainly know you volunteered. Fire-spreaders never force any comrade to do what she doesn't want to do.

Your courage deserves everyone's affirmation."

Nangong pursed her lips, shook her head again, and her voice was a bit grateful:

"I have no courage, this is all the courage everyone gave me.

I have walked all the way, always encountering various people who help me. They don't dislike me, don't abandon me, and are willing to pull me. It is them who dragged me out of the quagmire step by step...

This also includes you, Cheng Shi."

Nangong looked up at the pair of eyes that "make people afraid," a bit evasive:

"Although you have been deceiving me, I know you have no malice. You are helping me, helping me solve those problems I couldn't face at all."

"No, I just want to deceive."

Cheng Shi laughed. He always felt that if he didn't deceive Nangong a little, it would be like having money on the ground and not picking it up, uncomfortable.

Of course, this sentence is also deceiving.

"..." Nangong choked. She stared at Cheng Shi for a long time before finding the previous emotion and continued, "I remember everyone's kindness to me.

So when everyone was looking for a carrier that could bear the 【Decay】 container, I signed up.

I have no other strengths, only good at enduring.

If enduring pain can help everyone and repay everyone, then I think this is not enduring at all, but a kind of 'enjoyment'.

I suddenly became useful, which made me very, very... very, very happy.

I don't feel bitter, I only feel sweet."

Saying that, a bright smile bloomed on Nangong's face.

"..."

Some people's bitterness is some people's laughter.

Cheng Shi suddenly thought of this, his eyes darkened, and at the same time he sighed in his heart, why can this silly girl always poke people's hearts?

Is this purity?

The last person who was so pure seems to be also among the fire-spreaders.

Cui Qiushi is really happy, having a good father and a good comrade.

No, not one, but a group.

Cheng Shi smiled. He already understood Nangong's thoughts, but he still persuaded:

"The 【Decay】 container matter is extremely important to the layout of the fire-spreaders next. Your courage is already the best reward for those who reached out to you. The road ahead will be very difficult...

Nangong, you are a pure girl, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. The person who gets the container will eventually become a god, which means the God-making plan will continue. Perhaps not long after, you will ascend the throne and become the new 【Decay】.

At that time, the real decay has just begun.

I am not 【Decay】, I don't know how hard it is to slowly rot in a long divine life. Perhaps the pain at that time will be a hundred times that of now. Of course, it is also possible that after getting the authority, all pain will leave you. What you need to do is to stick to the lonely heart...

In any case, what I want to say is that the risk ahead is great. You have done well enough and have the right to choose to quit at this moment.

I am not depriving you of the opportunity to become a god, I just know that not everyone wants to become a god."

"..."

Nangong was silent.

She is not stupid and can feel Cheng Shi's sincerity and concern for her, but she... does not want to give up.

Thinking of the notebooks piled up like a small mountain in the room, thinking of the names recorded page by page on the notebook, thinking of the experience of being pulled by everyone and walking to the present, she clenched her fists tightly, looked up, looked at Cheng Shi with solemn eyes, and said firmly:

"I want to be a useful person.

I don't covet divine power and divine throne, just because enduring is what I am best at. If someone has to endure pain, I would rather it be me. I don't want everyone to endure torture.

Cheng Shi... no, Fire of Hope, please let me be a useful person.

Even if I rot in the eternal quagmire, at least I can still use withered branches and leaves to lift those who have helped me."

Hearing these words, Cheng Shi felt warm in his heart and smiled brightly.

"Don't deny yourself, you have always been a useful person."
