Chapter 198

So 【Fate】 had already set it...

A great war broke out in the void.

No one knows why that war started, and no one knows when that war ended.

But what is certain is that when the war ended, Cheng Shi woke up.

He had long been thrown back to reality, but his consciousness had been in a chaotic state and hadn't woken up.

He felt he had a long dream, dreaming that he exchanged life with his shadow, he became the shadow on the ground, and the shadow replaced him.

He really wanted to change back but failed repeatedly because of the powerlessness in the dream. This feeling was very bad, making Cheng Shi once feel that he had lost his future.

But the moment that void war ended, Cheng Shi suddenly broke this absurd and weird nightmare and woke up.

He looked at the shadow at his feet for the first time, finding that the shadow that had been pulled away into three dimensions now stuck tightly to the ground again, turning back to two dimensions, and there was no abnormality.

The "illness" was cured, which made him breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, fortunately, everything is back, everything is normal."

But... it's not very good either, after all, he became a forsworn person.

He sat on the ground recalling everything that just happened, and hurriedly opened his player panel to find out.

However, when he saw these brand new talents, an indescribable complex emotion rose in Cheng Shi's heart.

He really forswore his oath...

【Cheng Shi, male, 22 years old】

【Fate: Void】

【Faith: Fate】

【Current Path to Godhood Score: 2156, Global Ranking: 442351】

【Current Ladder of Audience Score: 166, Fate Ranking: 43】

【Faith Talent:

Fate Loom (SS): Fate Faith Talent, active, when you buckle a 【Mask of All Beings】 on your face, your basic profession will be temporarily replaced by the basic profession of the believer from whom this 【Mask of All Beings】 originated. When taken off, this 【Mask of All Beings】 disappears.

Fate Also Has Detours (S): Fate Faith Talent, active, when you infer that the near future is about to head toward misfortune, you can abandon the current fate and bear a more unfortunate fate.

Thousand Arts of Small Betting Big (S): Fate Faith Talent, passive, all 1 points you throw are equal to the maximum dice point.

Gambling Tools That Never Fall (S): Fate Faith Talent, active, you can exchange positions with any dice you throw.

Honest Clown (S): Deception Forsworn Curse, passive, a clown who cannot lie acts cautiously and can only use cheap sincerity to win applause from others. Therefore, you will be nervous and full of flaws when lying, this talent cannot be replaced by other talents.

...】

?

The information contained in this panel was really too much, so much that Cheng Shi just glanced at it and his brain crashed directly.

Ah?

Putting aside the others, Lord, isn't the name of your forsworn talent pointing at something?

What is "Honest Clown"?

Just scolding?

Also, what is "nervous and full of flaws when lying," you sold me, and I have to carry the pot?

Hehe, I, clown.

But in this limited text description, Cheng Shi still found a key point with huge information.

That is: This talent cannot be replaced by other talents.

When seeing this sentence, Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat.

Broken, this sentence is too familiar, familiar enough that he thought of the "All Beings" talent he carried when he believed in 【Deception】 for the first time.

Let's review the effect of "All Beings":

All Beings (S): Deception Faith Talent, passive, non-single trial rewards will be replaced by special item 【Mask of All Beings】, and this talent cannot be replaced by other talents.

Mask of All Beings!

This useless, even only able to be seen by others, Mask of All Beings, actually had a new effect under 【Fate】's faith!

Cheng Shi's gaze focused, his pupils constricted, he hurriedly went back to look at the "Fate Loom" talent, and then he found that these "useless" masks he put in the warehouse actually became key items under 【Fate】's faith.

In this way... was fate already set at the starting point of fate for the first time.

Be bolder, is it possible that All Beings was a 【Fate Forsworn Talent】, just changed the literal description by his Lord, no, now it should be called former Lord, just changed by his former Lord!?

Is it possible!?

Very possible!

This looks like something He can do!

But does this mean he once, or said he was already a forsworn person at the starting point of fate?

"..."

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.

The words I usually say about being a 【Fate】 forsworn person were all self-deprecating and jokes, and you are playing for real with me?

Then am I not forsworn for the second time?

A good horse forced to eat back grass?

Fuck, this is too grassy.

"..."

Cheng Shi, who figured all this out, finally guessed why the "compromise" with 【Fate】 was that he must return to 【Fate】...

Because probably no 【He】 would compromise with a forsworn person, unless, this forsworn person became His believer again.

Reasonable, too fucking reasonable.

So everything was written in His script, and even the matter of him returning to 【Fate】 might have been foreseen by Him long ago, so He gave him such a forsworn talent.

But He is indeed merciful, because the forsworn talent is different from the forsworn curse. Not only does it have no obvious side effects, but all the masks accumulated by it have become the source of Cheng Shi's power in the future.

Have to say, looking at it without prejudice, He has indeed done His best.

And he scolded bitch bitch every day, thinking about it now...

I am really not a human!

Perhaps the last death in the void was His anger after being unable to bear it, but He should have foreseen the arrival of 【Deception】 long ago, so He would kill himself so "heartlessly."

Recalling the various ways of seeing 【Fate】 this time, He is clearly not a ruthless and cruel 【God】.

Not only that! He even bestowed a different identity than a bitch for himself who was about to become a "little bitch":

Gambler!

He insighted his strong gambling nature, and then built a whole set of talent systems related to "gambling and game" for himself.

Although this "Fate Also Has Detours" looks not easy to use and a bit like pointing at his past performance...

But after sorting out this long list of things related to His motivation and thinking, Cheng Shi suddenly felt that the path of returning to 【Fate】 didn't seem unacceptable.

At least the bitch is someone else, at least His "favor" is the same as the former one...

At this very moment, he finally realized the true meaning of the sentence He once said when seeing 【Memory】.

"Interesting, so 【Fate】 had already set it."

Indeed, so fate had already set it.

And the chip that was set, was himself.

Cheng Shi raised the Fate Dice in his hand and looked at it against the sun. For the first time, he found that the dice face pale as bone was so dazzling, and the points flashing like gold reflected endless light.

In this blinding light, he clearly captured his past, and vaguely saw his future.

"Fate is like stars, looking but not reaching.

Today's me will no longer be a clown, but a believer of 【Fate】...

Fate Weaver!"
