Chapter 297: Brand New [Prosperity], Absurd Faith

Brand New 【Prosperity】, Absurd Faith

What a coincidence; it's the Tower of Rationality again!

Wherever there are 【Gods】, there are always shadows of this group of scholars.

No, wait!

The Puppet Master said that there are also items from the Tower of Rationality in the Fungus-Foot tribe. Could it be...

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat. He held his breath and approached the box step by step. Only after confirming that the box wasn't a trap did he finally make up his mind to open it and take a look.

He first glanced at the two behemoths still fighting, then exhaled heavily and carefully opened it.

There were no specimens in the box, only a thin, yellowed, and old piece of paper.

Cheng Shi was stunned. He picked up the paper and looked at it, finding it full of characters he didn't recognize. These didn't look like the characters of the Grand Judgment Court or the Tower of Rationality, but a kind of character he had never seen before.

But even if he didn't recognize the characters, he guessed what this paper was: it was a contract!

Because at the very bottom of this paper, he saw the oath symbol used for contracts in the Star Fall Continent and the residue of divinity.

It's just that in this residual divinity, one thread was 【Decay】, and the other was... 【Prosperity】!

Cheng Shi was shocked. In Erpuska's territory, he actually found a contract sworn by both 【Decay】 and 【Prosperity】!

What exactly is written in here!?

Cheng Shi was too curious, so curious that he almost forgot where he was. He looked at this paper from left to right, and while looking, he begged the great Tongue of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi in his mind to help.

Brother Mouth is kind-hearted after all; it agreed.

So Cheng Shi's mouth began to read earnestly:

"To the supreme and great 【Wasteland Walker】, let this oath serve as the most devout proof of offering from us, the abandoned followers of 【Prosperity】!

If you act according to the oath and protect my poor clansmen in this forest of 【Decay】, I will call upon all those who survive to worship you for generations, and offer flesh and blood of 【Prosperity】 at all times!

Offered to the new... 【Prosperity】... who protects our Fungus-Foot people again!

Signatory, the helpless, the humble, the devout, Abusfu."

The Tongue of Envoy Envoy Yu Xi only read it once, and Cheng Shi's brain exploded with a "buzz—".

What is meant by new... 【Prosperity】?

Could it be that the one protecting the Fungus-Foot people is not 【Prosperity】, but this...

Cheng Shi looked back in a daze and found that at this time, the true god of 【Prosperity】 in the eyes of the Fungus-Foot people, Erpuska, was being pressed under the giant bear turned into by Hong Lin and beaten fiercely!

Baldy is really fierce...

No, now is not the time to be Cheng Praiser!

How can Erpuska be 【Prosperity】??

Cheng Shi's brain was suddenly stuffed with absurdity. He really wanted to know what reason led to this absurd contract, but before he could sort out his thoughts, Amir by his feet woke up leisurely. And when Amir saw the corpses of his clansmen planted all around, this warrior who dared to dedicate everything to 【Prosperity】 didn't seem so brave anymore.

He covered his eyes in extreme terror and screamed, giving Cheng Shi a fright.

Cheng Shi hurriedly put away the contract, covered Amir's mouth, and shook his head solemnly at him.

"Lord Baldy... this is..."

The moment he saw the divine messenger, the warrior was brave again. Although he didn't know how he came here, it seemed that as long as the divine messenger was still there, it meant that His protection was still there, and this meant that his clansmen were still being watched by Him!

Looking at the devout light in Amir's eyes, Cheng Shi pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

He broke Amir's head so he wouldn't see the big battle behind him, and asked quietly:

"Is the first patriarch of your tribe named... Abusfu?"

Amir was stunned, seeming very confused as to why the divine messenger would know the name of the first patriarch, but in an instant, he nodded frantically, because he suddenly figured it out: it would be strange if the divine messenger didn't know the name of the first patriarch!

After all, the bald adult in front of him was sent by Him to issue the oracle of forgiveness, so he should know everything about the Fungus-Foot people!

After getting Amir's affirmative response, Cheng Shi smiled, a smile of extreme mockery.

He knocked out the confused Amir again and unfolded the contract.

So, is this the faith that the Fungus-Foot people have refused to abandon for generations?

Using a lifetime, or even a trembling half-life, to worship Erpuska, who abandoned 【Prosperity】 to join 【Decay】 but was killed by 【Decay】 and became a soulless shell!?

Is it absurd? Is it ridiculous? Is it laughable?

What a devout follower of 【Prosperity】 singing and preaching deep in the Sighing Forest!

What a clever Fungus-Foot patriarch who didn't hesitate to tell a blasphemous lie for the continuation of the tribe!

Perhaps the Fungus-Foot people will never think that this patriarch, whom they have praised for hundreds of years, dragged all his clansmen into the abyss of blasphemy hundreds of years ago!

He used a means of faith grafting that mortals wouldn't dare to imagine to find a... new 【Prosperity】 that could protect all Fungus-Foot people in the Sighing Forest, and this so-called 【Prosperity】 is the 【Wasteland Walker】 Erpuska, who constantly hunts Fungus-Foot people every day!

What a good means!

Stealing the faith of 【Prosperity】 on land protected by 【Decay】!

Yes, I should have thought of it long ago. How could the true 【Prosperity】 use the power of 【Decay】 to protect a group of exiled criminals!

Only 【Decay】 can give birth to 【Decay】!

But this trial is still called "The Spark Is About to Extinguish." Is He so tolerant? Even if these Fungus-Foot people have been exiled for hundreds of years and have believed wrongly for hundreds of years, are they still His sparks?

No wonder Hong Lin said that the 【Prosperity】 on the Fungus-Foot people is pitifully small. Can it not be pitiful? Because this is not the power bestowed by Him at all!

?

Wait, that's not right. If the faith has already been grafted, then where did the 【Prosperity】 power on the Fungus-Foot people come from?

It couldn't be bestowed by Erpuska. It is a 【Decay】 messenger with separated spirit and flesh, a 【Wasteland Walker】 wandering and foraging in the land of 【Decay】. The smell of 【Decay】 on its body is thick and viscous; how could there be any previous 【Prosperity】 power remaining?

Just as he was thinking about this, the battle situation underwent a huge change.

Hong Lin, who had been unable to take down the enemy, finally got angry. She took out a porcelain jar from her personal space and, before Erpuska could launch the next round of offensive, directly raised her head and poured the... honey... in the porcelain jar into her mouth.

Cheng Shi looked at this scene dumbfounded, fearing that the giant bear would be choked to death on the battlefield by the endless honey.

No, how can someone eat dessert on the spot in the middle of a fight?

Big sister, are you serious?

Hong Lin was indeed about to get serious. The giant bear that quickly drank up the honey began to emit green light from its two eyes. This green was different from the cold, miserable green in the eyes of the adult on the bone throne; it was a bright green full of vitality. Two crystal-clear, glowing eyes like emeralds opened suddenly, and accompanied by a heaven-shaking roar, the giant bear rushed toward Erpuska again.

The two behemoths collided and made a loud noise. Hong Lin stood up and slapped Erpuska on the chest, knocking the withered tree spirit directly to the ground. Not only that, the claw tips surging with green light finally pierced Erpuska's thousand-layered wrinkled skin for the first time, scratching its chest and causing blood to fly.

But when Hong Lin and Cheng Shi saw the flying blood, the scene was quiet for a while.

The giant bear stopped, and the clown lost his voice.

Because they saw that the blood of Erpuska, which was sprayed everywhere, was clearly not red blood, but pools and streaks of blue fluorescent liquid.

Blue! Fluorescent! Liquid!

Cheng Shi chuckled and raised the Wilderness Lamp in his hand.

The Wilderness Lamp that never disappears... so that's how it never disappears.

No wonder it would be reset to the altar no matter where it was lost; it turns out there is "someone" constantly making it with their own blood...

That's right. Since the faith has been grafted, the bestowal of the "God" should naturally be a fake.

Heh heh, no wonder Erpuska can always find where the Fungus-Foot people are. It's not tracking 【Decay】, and it's not hunting 【Prosperity】; it just smelled its own scent, and then according to the "contract content," went to retrieve the offerings that belonged to it.

So, where exactly did the forgiveness come from, and where did the hope come from!?

He thought that impersonating a divine messenger was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that the first patriarch of the Fungus-Foot people actually found a monster to impersonate the god of his own clansmen!

What a wonderful move!

Regardless of which 【God】 was blasphemed, just looking at the current situation of the Fungus-Foot people, Abusfu's goal was achieved.

At least in this Sighing Forest full of 【Decay】, the Fungus-Foot people survived.

Even if they didn't live freely, even if they lived in fear, as followers of "Prosperity," they did indeed continue for a long enough time in this forest of 【Decay】.

And this heavy crime of blasphemy was almost borne by him alone. All the Fungus-Foot people who survived to this day knew nothing about it, and even thought that what they believed in was the true 【Prosperity】.

The so-called "the ignorant are not guilty," perhaps that's what it means now?

The ignorant sin of the Fungus-Foot people finally earned the forgiveness of 【Prosperity】. This can be seen from the theme of this trial.

In this way, He is indeed quite tolerant.

After passing the initial shock, Cheng Shi and the giant bear Hong Lin looked at each other and saw the sigh in each other's eyes.

The spark that is about to extinguish has finally been found, so what does "ignite a prairie fire" mean?

It couldn't be letting more lives believe in this... new 【Prosperity】, right?

But compared to this, Cheng Shi wanted to know another thing, which was: what good did the contract that Erpuska had guarded for hundreds of years do for this 【Wasteland Walker】 itself?

Is it stealing the authority of 【Prosperity】?

Is it for 【Decay】...

Or for itself? ===== CHAPTER 298 =====
