Chapter 324: To be honest, I want a piece of the feast of dividing authority!
To be honest, I want a piece of the feast of dividing authority!
(6000 today.)
Cheng Shi couldn't understand the fighting between the gods, and he didn't try to understand it, because he was thinking about one thing:
Since so many gods planned to gang up on 【Prosperity】, why wasn't the Great One in front of him tempted at all?
Didn't He have a grudge against 【Prosperity】? Why not join in?
Cheng Shi bounced back, looking suspiciously at 【Death】, who was focused on the battlefield on the bone throne. When he saw those hollow eye sockets, he suddenly remembered something.
That was what He said the first time he saw Him.
He said 【Thunder】 died, died at the hands of 【Order】, but half of 【Thunder】's divinity was in the hands of this Great One.
Associating this with His divine name 【Death】, is it possible that when a 【God】 truly dies, this dead god will strip away half, or at least a portion, of their divinity... and it will automatically come into His hands?
After all, the death of a god, to some extent, counts as an offering to Him!
And it's an offering of 【True God】 level!
Cheng Shi was shocked by this thought. He thought if this were true, it would mean this Great One wasn't not participating; He was just waiting for an outcome, an outcome of sitting back and reaping the rewards!
So He felt the gods could win!?
But if 【Fate】, 【Truth】, 【Stupidity】, and 【Chaos】 really succeeded, would 【Prosperity】 really die?
If She died, what would happen to Her believers, and what would happen to Xiang Honglin?
He had been fooling her for a long time, and the moment he asked to facilitate the fusion of 【Prosperity】 and 【Fate】, her patron was gone. How was he supposed to explain that?
Say that his future self came back and tricked her patron to death?
That big cat would definitely explode!
Wait!
If things really developed like this, then the token bestowed by his patron...
Cheng Shi paused. He thought that although the dice was a Fate Dice used to expand a second faith, when a player's first faith disappeared, would the second faith... become the first faith?
Ah?
So his patron wasn't trying to win him over at all; He was just like 【Prosperity】, plundering!
He wanted to turn Xiang Honglin directly into a warrior of 【Fate】?
He had long seen the fate of 【Prosperity】's fall?
Does that mean 【Prosperity】 will definitely die?
So the benefit He got in this divine war was... Xiang Honglin?
What about 【Stupidity】? What benefit could He get?
Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out, and it was impossible for him to figure it out. A mortal could never know what the gods' chips were, but he was too curious, so curious that he wished he could join this war himself and fish for some benefits.
So, thinking and thinking, only one question remained in his mind:
What benefits can I get in this divine war?
This question was too important, more important than whether his patron trapped by 【Existence】 could come back.
So, driven by great greed, Cheng Shi hesitated for a long time and decided to ask again.
This time, he wasn't doing it for gossip, but for profit—the profit leaking from the fingers of the 【Gods】!
As everyone knows, where there is risk, there is profit. Facing the greatest change since the arrival of the 【Faith Game】, if he couldn't use the "divine favor" on him to get a piece of the pie from this chaos, Cheng Shi would feel he had really become a spider on a web:
A failed man.
He wanted to progress. Ever since that beautiful dream that night, he had wanted to progress very much.
So he pondered for a long time, looked at the Great One on the bone throne, and tentatively spoke again.
But this time, the probing was very straightforward.
"Respected Great One, forgive my presumption, but I have a question that has always puzzled me, and I would like to ask you again."
The enormous skull withdrew His gaze from the green screen, looked at the small skull under the bone throne, and nodded.
"Speak."
Cheng Shi immediately perked up and hurriedly said:
"If 【Prosperity】 falls, what will happen to all the players in the 【Faith Game】 who believe in 【Prosperity】?
Also, if 【Truth】 really plunders 【Prosperity】's authority, will new blessings related to these authorities appear on 【Truth】's believers?"
The enormous skull seemed to have anticipated this question. He snorted and said:
"【Mother of Prosperity】, will not... fall.
You do not... know the 【Convention】, so you do not know... its power.
Under the protection of the 【Convention】, no god... can kill... another... god.
Because... signing it, was originally to prevent... wars of divine fall."
"Will not fall?" Cheng Shi was shocked. Since 【Prosperity】 won't die, why are these gods fighting so hard?
The enormous skull was very talkative today. He glanced at Cheng Shi and "enthusiastically" cleared his confusion.
"Not dying, does not mean... being able to keep... the authority.
【Truth】, has always been... researching how to effectively... bypass the 【Convention】 and fuse... our... authorities.
He has long... had results, and today, He should... use them... on 【Prosperity】.
But authority, is only transferred, not... disappeared.
So, when 【Prosperity】... is trapped, except for... not being able to see Her again, it will have... no impact on you."
Ah?
The amount of information today was too huge, causing Cheng Shi's brain to overload, but he didn't waste time thinking about it and immediately asked even more boldly:
"Then does it have an impact on you, Great One? 【Prosperity】 is a god of the 【Life】 path after all. If one of the 'Him's in the path is no longer free, what impact will it have on the other two of 【Life】?"
The enormous skull fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Cheng Shi.
"You... have become... very bold.
What... do you want... to say?"
What do I want to say?
I want to divide the spoils!
But can I say that? No!
So Cheng Shi said the boldest sentence of the day with extreme trepidation.
"I want to... help you!"
His eye sockets flashed with intensity. He tried hard to squeeze a fanatical expression onto a skull and then perfectly displayed his greed to 【Death】 again!
"Great One, if you also have expectations in this divine war, your loyal employee, Cheng Shi, is willing to do some things within his power for you.
And you, just need to give your employee a little guidance, allowing him to get a small spoonful of soup in this feast of gods!
What do you... think?"
"You, a... mortal, also want to... plunder His... authority?"
The enormous skull let out a roar of extreme confusion. The reaction was so huge that the torrent of skulls in the entire White Bone Hall became boiling with His confusion.
Countless chattering screams circled the sky, and the waterfall made of white bones began to surge endlessly.
Cheng Shi was pushed back by the fluctuations carrying rich 【Death】, rolling down the steps, but he gritted his teeth and hid in the gaps between the steps, shouting at the Great One on the bone throne like his life depended on it:
"Respected Great One, I don't want to plunder His authority, I just want to steal some benefits in this 'accident'!"
"Delusion.
Mortals, cannot... divide... His authority.
【Convention】, protects all, divine power, so it... does not get lost."
"But you said 【Truth】 has a way to find loopholes to plunder 【Prosperity】's authority, which shows the 【Convention】 is not omnipotent!
Since the 【Convention】 is not omnipotent, why can't we?"
"Great One, the 【Life】 path is about to lose a True God, why can't we consider 【Life】 and leave some benefits behind?"
Green flames rose in the enormous skull's eye sockets. He looked at Cheng Shi with a complex gaze.
"Excessive... greed, is... the way to death.
You are... not in harmony with 【Fate】.
You are... very similar... to 【Fraud】."
"..."
But after a moment of silence, the Great One on the bone throne sighed and revealed some things that Cheng Shi shouldn't have known.
"【Truth】, has controlled... Dize'er's... shell.
He, in the fusion of bloodlines... has used means, and will use... Dize'er, 【Prosperity】's son's identity, to inherit... 【Prosperity】's... authority.
You... have no... right of inheritance.
Lele'er, is rooted in the 【Sea of Desire】, and you... also have no need... to throw your life away... for unrealistic... delusions."
"Right of inheritance?" Cheng Shi bounced twice, his heart suddenly tightening, and he hurriedly asked: "What is right of inheritance? What kind of identity can inherit?"
"【Subordinate God】, or 【Messenger】. When a 【True God】... is trapped and not free, according to the 【Convention】, His messenger, has the right... to inherit authority."
Cheng Shi swallowed and asked extremely nervously: "Then His messenger... has it?"
"Messenger?
If it is... a messenger like a bone servant, they are just followers, naturally they have none."
"No, no, no, the kind of messenger who conveys divine oracles for His people!"
"Delusion... that's all.
Do not... indulge... in daydreaming, this is 【Filth】's... most skilled... ability to corrupt people's hearts.
【Mother of Prosperity】, has never had... a follower... who held Her divine oracles.
For Her... the ones who relayed Her decrees... have always been... Her children.
You..."
"I know Her eldest daughter, Lady Fulazhuo'er!"
Cheng Shi suddenly stood up on his chin, looked at the enormous skull on the bone throne with burning eyes, and said excitedly and crazily:
"Great One, if 【Prosperity】's eldest daughter Lady Fulazhuo'er is not dead yet, does She... have the right of inheritance!?"
