Chapter 325: Lady Fulazhuo'er is not dead, you saved her!
Lady Fulazhuo'er is not dead, you saved her!
"Lady Fulazhuo'er... is already... dead."
The enormous skull's tone was firm; clearly, He understood everything about 【Prosperity】.
But Cheng Shi was exceptionally persistent. He bounced up another step and said solemnly:
"What if She isn't dead, or in other words, what if you saved Lady Fulazhuo'er?"
Ghostly green flames ignited in the eyes of the skull on the bone throne. He looked at Cheng Shi and pondered for a moment, discovering that he wasn't being eroded by greed, but really had some ideas. So He decided to listen to what this follower of 【Fraud】 wanted to do.
"I... will give you... a chance.
Speak."
Cheng Shi became excited. He immediately confessed everything that happened in the trial, without hiding anything.
He told 【Death】 that he had saved a tribe of 【Prosperity】's people in the trial and had shaped a true image of a 【Prosperity】 messenger in front of them.
Most importantly, after several tests, the moment 【Prosperity】 descended, these Fungus-Foot people had already received true salvation.
Regardless of why they were recognized after only four of the five tests mentioned earlier, in any case, the right of final interpretation belonged to 【Prosperity】.
But after 【Truth】 restrained 【Prosperity】, She lost the right to explain everything, so the right of final interpretation returned to that non-existent 【Prosperity】 divine messenger!
Originally, Cheng Shi didn't think this identity would be useful at all. He even felt that being tainted by history was a burden, so he had secretly reported Xiang Honglin's ID.
But what he didn't expect was that there was a rule about inheriting authority in the 【Convention】.
In this way, Xiang Honglin's fake divine messenger identity suddenly became the spoon Cheng Shi used to scoop soup from the 【Gods】' table, giving him a chance to get a piece of the pie!
Because that Great One said that the ones who relayed decrees for 【Prosperity】 had always been Her children!
He looked at 【Death】 with burning eyes and said crazily and clearly:
"Great One, please forgive my presumption, but I want to ask you, did you... witness 【Prosperity】 assimilate Her eldest daughter, Lady Fulazhuo'er, with your own eyes?"
The enormous skull pondered for a moment and shook His head.
"Indeed... I have not... witnessed it... with my own eyes."
Cheng Shi's smile grew wider: "Then did the gods witness 【Prosperity】 assimilate Her eldest daughter Lady Fulazhuo'er with their own eyes?"
The enormous skull fell silent. He understood what Cheng Shi meant.
As long as no one had seen 【Prosperity】 assimilate Her children with their own eyes, there were loopholes to exploit!
Indeed, preying on others couldn't be done in front of others. Once others felt fear, just like Her child Dize'er, Her so-called universal prosperity would be hard to spread.
Cheng Shi knew that all filth could only be hidden in the shadows, which was why he asked that question.
And now, looking at the Great One's reaction, he knew this plan was almost a success!
But in 【Death】's eyes, this plan was like duckweed without roots, not yet begun.
"You should know, the trial... is just a reappearance of... 【Memory】.
When you finish... this trial, these... 【Prosperity】 people... will sink again... into the bottom of the Sea of Memories, disappearing into... time.
No one... will remember them, and no one... will remember... the so-called... divine messenger you speak of."
Just as the enormous skull finished these sentences, Cheng Shi jumped in front of Him, holding a ring in his teeth.
The green flames in 【Death】's eye sockets stalled, and He used divine power to pick up the ring.
"This is... the power of... 【Memory】."
Cheng Shi nodded crazily:
"Yes, Great One, this is the gift of 【Memory】. He gave me three chances to change history, and now, there is one last one left.
You just need to send me back to the trial, and I... just need to snap my fingers in the trial, and everything about the 【Prosperity】 divine messenger will be written into history!
In this way, wouldn't we have the power to inherit 【Prosperity】's authority?"
The enormous skull was stunned. He felt as if He wasn't summoning a player, but plotting with 【Fraud】.
"... You... cannot explain... why Lady Fulazhuo'er... did not die."
"The reason She didn't die is because you saved her!"
"Why... would I... save her?"
Cheng Shi gritted his teeth, summoned his courage, and threw out a reason:
"Why did 【Mother of Prosperity】 assimilate the great Jialouluo for no reason?
Narrow-minded as She is, She was taking revenge, revenge on you for ruining Her assimilation of Lady Fulazhuo'er!"
After saying this, his heart tightened.
This was a very risky move, because he had dragged Jialouluo's death into this lie-filled scam.
If this sentence made 【Death】 dissatisfied, he would have no chance to participate in this feast of gods.
Not only that, he might really turn into a skull—not the kind serving before the throne, but the kind screaming like a fool in the torrent of white bones.
But to his surprise, 【Death】 began to nod after hearing this reason. He looked at Cheng Shi with satisfaction, as if He felt this was the most pleasant thing Cheng Shi had said all day.
"Not bad. It was I... who saved... Lady Fulazhuo'er.
【Mother of Prosperity】, was ashamed and angry, and found an opportunity... to swallow... Jialouluo."
Once this was said, Cheng Shi immediately knew he had bet correctly.
【Death】 wasn't saving face for Himself; He was getting back at the messenger He favored, Jialouluo!
So He also knew that Jialouluo's act of self-sacrifice was foolish...
But He had insisted for so many years that Lele'er was a bitch, yet never mentioned Jialouluo's choice...
Pity the heart of "parents" everywhere.
Of course, Lele'er really is a bitch.
But today, foolish... ahem, Jialouluo seems to be standing up.
He went from a blind 【Subordinate God】 who sacrificed himself for love to a victim retaliated against by 【Prosperity】.
The perspective changed completely; victims won't be spurned, only sympathized with.
Cheng Shi was numb, but also happy. He never thought that what convinced 【Death】 to support him wasn't a reasonable scam, but an emotional card from ancient times.
"..."
Fine, as long as I can drink the soup!
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's eyes became fiery.
"So, Great One, you need to send me back before the trial ends completely. As long as I snap those fingers that engrave history, we will have a chance!
A chance to get a piece of the pie!"
The enormous skull's green flames began to roar after hearing Cheng Shi's operation.
No one knew what He was thinking. Cheng Shi only knew that when 【Death】 was thinking, the entire Fish Bone Hall fell silent. Those noisy little skulls rarely made a sound, and even the roaring torrent of white bones stopped.
Countless skulls looked at the bone throne in unison, seemingly waiting for His instructions.
A long time passed, so long that Cheng Shi worried if the divine war on the canopy sea was already over. If he plotted for half a day only to find the show was over, that would be too clownish.
So, Cheng Shi, unable to hold back, stepped forward tentatively, preparing to remind the Great One through the sound of crawling.
But just at this moment, the enormous skull moved. He turned to look at Cheng Shi, the flames in His eye sockets boiling even more.
"You... are very... greedy.
But you... are also very... smart.
If... 【Memory】... has not corrected... the errors of history, if... 【Fraud】... can make her identity... more... real.
Indeed... it is feasible.
However, you... are more suitable... for this position... than your... friend.
A messenger... who inherits... 【Prosperity】's authority.
Do you... not want it?" ===== CHAPTER 326 =====
