Chapter 314: Since faith can be sophistry, why isn't [Decay] [Prosperity]?
Since faith can be sophistry, why isn't 【Decay】 【Prosperity】?
(Very brave today, 6000+ no chapter split, counts as an extra update...)
Xiang Honglin didn't know these things. She only knew Cheng Shi's brain seemed to be a bit broken.
Putting aside those messy things, he roared and said something about offering, hehe, where did the offering come from? Even tonight's night color was painted by 【Decay】. Where in this forest was there a trace of 【Prosperity】 that could be offered to Him?
Not only Xiang Honglin was confused, but even the scholars who were staring at the Sighing Forest behind those mechanical creations were also confused.
Faith experiments have been going on for so many years, and this kind of change has never appeared.
The suitcase containing the "faith contract" that was left in Oupusika's flower garden had been rotting in the ground for hundreds of years, and it was the first time someone entered it and picked it up.
Actually, for scholars, it didn't matter if the box was picked up or not, because the Sighing Forest was full of "Truth's" eyes. They could easily feel where the contract was, and then drive the mechanical giant pythons to go and take the box back.
But this time was different. The box was still there, but the contract was gone.
Fortunately, the scholars had a backup plan for this situation. The moment the contract disappeared, they began to analyze the changes in 【Prosperity】 in the forest, and tried to find the little thief who stole the contract.
But now it seems that the one who stole the contract was not a thief, but a... madman!
An out-and-out madman!
This madman with the aura of the contract on his body was letting the giant python eat his body while still smiling on his face. Not only that, he seemed to enjoy this state of life decline, so much so that the frequency of the scholars controlling the mechanical giant pythons to attack became lower and lower, for fear that this madman in front of them was brewing some big conspiracy.
Cheng Shi was indeed brewing, but not a conspiracy, but a plot.
He was deliberately bringing his life state closer to 【Decay】, and this scene also made Xiang Honglin full of doubt.
She couldn't understand why Cheng Shi chose to take the initiative to be seriously injured at this time, and couldn't figure out where the so-called offering in his mouth was?
How to offer, what to offer with?
Couldn't be offering 【Decay】 to 【Prosperity】.
That would be too absurd...
No!
Wait, he wouldn't!!??
Just thinking of this, Cheng Shi in front of her turned his head. Only seeing this Fate Weaver who claimed to be favored by 【Fate】 looking at her fanatically, spraying blood and laughing wildly:
"See it? See it.
This is the ritual of offering I prepared for Him, and this is also the final bet we are about to open.
Baldy, think about it, although there is not a trace of 【Prosperity】 tonight, but!
When everything in sight is 【Decay】, isn't this also a kind of 【Prosperity】!"
As soon as this was said, Xiang Honglin's brain roared, and her consciousness went all white!
【Decay】 everywhere, is also a kind of 【Prosperity】?
How strong must one's ability to blaspheme God be to say such words?
Isn't this sophistry?
Yes, it's true that words can be said like this, but the problem is if sophistry was useful, then back in the era of the Continent of Hope, scholars specializing in language arts would have unified the continent long ago. No, they might even have used this means to end the 【Gods】.
Because faith is faith, authority is authority. This is the fundamental of the 【Gods】, and also the bottom line of 【Them】. It is impossible to shake it with the jokes of a three-inch tongue!
If the fundamental of the 【Gods】 was so fragile, then perhaps 【Fraud】 would have long ago become the biggest winner.
After all, He is best at this.
But!
But Xiang Honglin, who had been sluggish by 【Decay】, ignored one point, which was:
Tonight is different from other times.
Because... tonight all faith has been stolen!
Countless 【Decay】 creations in the Sighing Forest believe in the fake 【Decay】 envoy tonight, but behind this fake is 【Prosperity】's dependents.
The mushroom-foots, 【Prosperity】 believers who have been deceived until now, gave up resistance and embraced 【Decay】, but after turning into 【Decay】, they still firmly believed in 【Prosperity】, because the God's Envoy told them that embracing 【Decay】 was just a test, and 【Prosperity】 would eventually come to protect them.
Thus, the most wonderful change in faith was produced.
Every place of 【Decay】 was tampered with, every faith shifted!
【Decay】 believes in 【Prosperity】, 【Decay】 sticks to 【Prosperity】, 【Decay】 follows 【Prosperity】!
All essences point directly to 【Prosperity】.
And in this situation, Cheng Shi's words were no longer sophistry, but facts!
Because the 【Decay】 they saw did indeed point to 【Prosperity】!
Since the star fire hadn't gone out, and the wild fire had been lit, the prairie fire was just a blink away.
Shortly after Cheng Shi's words fell, the Sighing Forest shrouded in the dark moon suddenly...
It dawned.
A beam of warm and vibrant light pierced the dim night sky, poured down from the top of the forest, and shone straight on the heads of the mushroom-foots. Then countless emerald branches grew wildly along the beam of light, instantly building a 【Prosperity】 bridge swaying with dense new buds between heaven and earth.
Then, in the sky illuminated by this emerald light, cracks began to spread. In just a blink of an eye, the sky with the dark moon hanging high cracked like a spider web.
The space cracks became larger and larger, countless vines and branches poured in crazily from outside the sky, like a tide pouring backward, spreading and overflowing in all directions of the sky.
These branches were not only growing longer but also becoming thicker and larger. By the time the two people in the bet discovered in astonishment that the sky above their heads had completely turned into a lush tree canopy, thousands of threads of hanging tassels were splashing down like green rain toward the Sighing Forest shrouded in fog.
At the same time, the second beam of light hit Xiang Honglin.
When this beam of infinite vitality light healed this 【Prosperity】 God's Chosen, it was like the sighing sorrow tide in the forest before, turning into a tide of 【Prosperity】, sweeping toward the surroundings!
This vibrant tide of vitality had just passed over Cheng Shi, who fell to the ground, and took away all his injuries and decadence. Cheng Shi was pleasantly surprised. He stood up from the ground with a carp jump and wanted to praise 【Prosperity】, but the next second his surprise froze on his face.
Because he discovered that this healing light was not a simple 【Prosperity】 mercy for the two of them, but...
A terrifying revenge that is unimaginable!
The tide of 【Prosperity】 surged crazily toward the surroundings like a giant wave devouring people. Countless Twisted Night Pythons in front of Cheng Shi and Xiang Honglin began to wail and struggle after being swept by the giant wave, twisting their bodies crazily.
But all struggles were useless. How could tiny creations withstand the anger from Him? So these night pythons that were just defending 【Prosperity】 instantly sank into this wild call from 【Prosperity】, abandoned their cold and rotten giant python bodies, stood on the spot, and began to take root and sprout, turning into thin branches growing rapidly. After a few breaths, they turned into dwarf trees, and in a blink of an eye, they grew into vibrant giant trees.
Cheng Shi and Xiang Honglin looked at the scene in front of them, their pupils shrank!
This doesn't seem to be just a gaze...
At this moment, He actually descended directly!
The will of 【Prosperity】 broke through the barriers of reality, descended directly into the 【Decay】 Sighing Forest, and turned the woodless forest filled with rot and decadence into a dense, lush, and verdant underground rainforest!
【Prosperity God's Shade】 followed, and the shadows cast by the tree canopy shrouded the entire land.
Seeing the gray and white in the field of vision fade away and the emerald green grow, Xiang Honglin, whose body had recovered infinite vitality, almost had her chin dropped in shock.
This gambler of 【Fate】 actually really offered 【Decay】 to 【Prosperity】!
The most important thing is, He... actually really accepted it!
Even personally accepted it!
"You..."
Cheng Shi was also stunned, but his mouth was still smiling, never stopping from beginning to end.
"Look, I said, my gambling luck is very good.
Now it seems, we won the bet.
However... Baldy, can you stop asking so many questions first, I...
Cough cough, let's solve these iron lumps in front of us first.
The priest finished his part, next, it's time for the warrior to appear."
Part?
What a big play that scams people to death!
Xiang Honglin hadn't recovered from the extreme shock, but hearing Cheng Shi say this, she recovered slightly.
She snorted heavily, thinking to herself that she would find trouble with him later, and then looked sharply at those mechanical giant pythons that once wanted her life.
These giant pythons were still looking up at the sky, and the scholars behind them were still immersed in the shock of 【Prosperity】's descent and couldn't extricate themselves.
And just at this time, a roar came from the Sighing Forest, oh no, from the lush rainforest. When the mechanical giant python looked down again, it found a giant bear in front of it!
A giant bear with fire in its eyes!
?
This is...
The scholars didn't know what this was anymore, because all the machines transmitting pictures to them were crumpled into a ball at the same time.
At this moment, the scholars who had been observing in the dark for countless years suddenly lost control of the faith experiment.
No, perhaps they had long lost control. When the contract about faith theft was discovered by a gambler, the experiment of the Tower of Rationality probably had already begun to fail.
On the other side.
In that tribe that gave up resistance and embraced 【Decay】, when the beam of light representing vitality and 【Prosperity】 descended from the sky, the mushroom-foots of the entire tribe sobbed.
They shouted "Praise the Patron, praise forgiveness, praise Lord Baldy!", and then raised their hands high toward the sky, completely embracing their own, true 【Prosperity】.
Somewhere on the edge of the Sighing Forest, underground observation station.
Several young scholars looked at the screens full of static on the wall, anxious like ants on a hot pot.
They immediately called the great scholars of Gasimaila, but the great scholars had no way to deal with this kind of change deep underground, so they could only contact the Learned Chair Association that insight into everything in the world.
When the members of the Learned Chair Association appeared in the underground observation station in the form of projections, one of the white-haired old men was silent for a moment and sacrificed the 【Truth Orbit】 in his hand.
As soon as this universe model, which was like countless stars rising and falling, appeared, complex, obscure, and difficult-to-understand 【Truth】 sounds sang around it.
A moment later, a hollow voice that seemed to indicate the laws of the universe sounded, and the first sentence He bestowed was:
End of Chapter
