Character Side Story: Wei Mu · The Most Straightforward Truth

The simplest trial lived up to the word "simple."

This trial began in a small town called Seko. Although it belonged to the Grand Court of Judgment, it was geographically remote and far from the political center. The people here were also converted from wild god believers. Although a Court of Judgment had been established in the town, most residents still believed in the "Beauty God" who had long been cleared away by 【Order】.

They believed that all things had their beauty, and every life had a "beauty" that one could not discover oneself.

Their totem was a mirror, and a huge stone mirror polished smooth stood in the central square of the small town, which the townspeople used to reflect unknown beauty.

This should have been a discarded object of the old faith, but considering the local customs and style, the Court of Judgment decided to retain it and slowly educate them.

At that time, 【Order】 had not yet collapsed, and the 【Order】 believers, like the rising sun, still firmly believed that the will of 【Order】 would eventually unify the entire Continent of Hope, or at least the surface.

It was in such a small town that six people began the "foolish act" of 【Foolish】.

This trial had no hints and no answers. The six people only needed to honestly spend 12 hours to clear the level.

Everyone prepared to stay in the hotel at the place of descent until the trial ended. Only Wei Mu politely declined the retention of the 11-trial veteran, left the "safest" place, and went to the center of the town to see that stone mirror that represented the former Beauty God.

To be honest, Wei Mu was a little disappointed when he saw that huge stone mirror because it was hard to call it a mirror.

The material of this stone determined that it could not polish a perfect mirror surface. The so-called mirror was just vaguely reflecting a person's figure on the smooth stone slab.

Wei Mu saw his own reflection, but it was just a reflection. He couldn't see his face clearly, let alone any details on his body.

But even so, there were still people coming here in an endless stream to pray and worship. A townsperson saw that Wei Mu was an outsider and introduced to him: blurriness just meant that one couldn't concretize a person's true beauty. Everyone is beautiful, and the gaze of the Beauty God is the best proof. Although the Beauty God has fallen at the hands of 【Order】, His will still remains here.

Wei Mu couldn't understand their faith and worship of a blurry stone mirror and this seemingly self-deceiving fanatical will. He was just very interested in the Beauty God who had once existed, so he asked the townsperson about everything related to the Beauty God.

And when he heard that the Beauty God had descended on this stone mirror, Wei Mu suddenly went quiet for a moment.

"You mean, the god descended in the place where believers worship day and night?"

"Of course, this is a place where faith gathers. His gaze must reach here first. Otherwise, do you want the god to look at people who don't believe in Him?"

"Very reasonable."

Wei Mu seemed to have thought of something, but because he didn't know enough about the gods in this 【Faith Game】, he failed to grasp the flash of inspiration in his heart.

However, he also figured out one thing, and that was that faith was exceptionally important in the 【Faith Game】.

This was not a simple extraction of literal meaning, but the only conclusion drawn from observation.

Don't forget, this was the "simplest" trial. If the gods' definition of "simple" was not wrong, then from the "subtraction meaning," this trial had already been stripped of all branches and only the trunk remained.

So what was presented to the players was not some ordinary small-town life, but very likely the essence of the game.

Wei Mu accurately perceived this point, but because of his "novice" status, he couldn't think of how to use this essence and how to use this faith for a while.

But it didn't matter; the 【Faith Game】 had just begun, and time was still very abundant.

Time was not abundant.

During the false curtain call, when Sun Miao came to the door and told Wei Mu everything Long Jing had conveyed, the puppet's expression became a bit surprised.

【Fraud】 is an outer god?

A god outside the world?

Is it possible?

It's not impossible. After all, He is 【Fraud】, which represents all possibilities.

But the problem is, if 【Fraud】 is an outer god, where did the world's own 【Fraud】 go?

Sometimes too much information is an interference item. For Wei Mu, who was still in the dark, reality had automatically done subtraction for him.

Based on his understanding of 【Fraud】—no, no one can understand 【Fraud】—it should be said that based on his understanding of 【Foolish】, if 【Foolish】 hadn't despised 【Fraud】 for this reason before, then whether 【Fraud】's identity as an outer god was true... remained to be discussed.

Wei Mu pondered for a moment, looked at Sun Miao in front of him, and asked:

"You mean... that was a 【Fraud】 trial?"

Sun Miao, as one of the 【Foolish】 believers closest to Wei Mu, was also quick to understand. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief:

"You mean, the so-called outer god definition is still in the trial?"

Wei Mu nodded and shook his head again:

"It's not impossible, but considering He is 【Fraud】, no one can say clearly whether He is telling a story under the guise of 【Fraud】, or using the 【Fraud】 attribute to confuse the world and deceive the universe...

But it doesn't matter, I have a plan to verify this."

"Are you willing to take action?"

"Isn't this the purpose of you coming here?"

"I thought that in the face of the gods, you would at least leave yourself a way out. Being able to give us a guide is already something to be grateful for."

Wei Mu stared at Sun Miao for a moment and laughed.

"I remember you always said you were acting, so are you acting now too?"

Sun Miao's lips moved for a long time, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He remembered the sentence he said to Qin Xin when he joined the Fire Spreaders:

"I am indeed pretending, but what if I pretend to the end?"

Now, asking him to say this sentence again, he was actually a little resistant.

Is all this really pretending?

But when I got close to the firelight, I clearly felt the warmth, and I wanted to share this warmth with everyone...

Sun Miao remained silent, and Wei Mu understood.

He didn't waste time, but left the scene directly and blocked Qin Xin, who was about to seek an audience with 【Order】, above the void.

He told Qin Xin that he had a way to make the void ending happen immediately, and this might not even be a void ending, but a false ending. However, whether it was void or false, the way to verify it required paying a huge price.

To this, Qin Xin smiled frankly:

"If my world still has hope, if my friends are safe, I can accept any price.

Wei Mu, we are all smart people, so don't waste time. If the price is my death, you should understand me, or at least understand the 'us' behind Sun Miao. For us, this is not a price."

Wei Mu nodded and laid out the plan.

"Final Decree.

【Covenant】 has a Final Decree, and the Final Decree cannot be disobeyed.

Regardless of whether 【Fraud】 is an outer god, all He wants is the Fate Weaver.

This game is selecting a 'lucky one.' According to the 'rules,' it should have been the top of the Ladder of Ascension, which is me, but now 【Void】 has bypassed the Ladder of Ascension and chosen him.

So no matter what, 【Fraud】 will not let the Fate Weaver have an accident, and our way to break the game is to let the Fate Weaver have an 'accident.'

The Final Decree is the biggest accident I can think of.

If the so-called outer god can break the shackles of the 【Covenant】, then He doesn't need to tell stories here. Redundant behavior only shows that His actions are also limited by the rules. Since that's the case, the shackles of the 【Covenant】 on Him will be our biggest opportunity."

Qin Xin's eyes narrowed, and he kept this matter in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 1472 =====
