Chapter 330: That shocking, irresistible universal prosperity

That shocking, irresistible universal prosperity

"You said... what?"

Xiang Honglin seemed to have recovered a bit. Now that only 【Death】 was on the side, she finally returned to being the druid who dared to speak.

She turned back to look at Cheng Shi in disbelief and confirmed with him again:

"You said, 【Prosperity】 killed Herself?"

No matter how absurd, strange, or unbelievable this scene was, Cheng Shi had to nod, because 【Prosperity】 had indeed fallen.

"Why?

It couldn't be that She was unwilling to be trapped and chose to die to show Her ambition?

Impossible, 【They】... those are the omnipotent 【Them】. What is She plotting?"

Plotting what?

Cheng Shi couldn't understand either, but he thought of a possibility, so he exclaimed with admiration:

"Probably, it's just dying to show Her ambition."

As soon as the words fell, the enormous skull on the bone throne slowly turned to look at Cheng Shi. The pitying green flames in His eyes slowly extinguished, and then He was even more emotional than Cheng Shi:

"No wonder, She... would invite you, a human, to coexist with Her.

You... are really... compatible... with Her will.

Her... 【Final Decree】, is to divide... all authority... equally, and leave it... to the gods.

【Convention】, has already acted on Her behalf... to bestow this decree."

As He spoke, the skull gently opened His mouth and spat out a perfect, tender new sprout from His hollow mouth.

Feeling the divine power surging on this sprout, Cheng Shi's heart shook.

"This is..."

"【Prosperity】's... 'Flawless' authority.

She, often spread... this power... under the 【Divine Shade】, and so, Her people... would not get... sick.

But...

I hold... the divine name of 【Death】, and do not need... this authority."

Cheng Shi suddenly realized. He blinked quickly and suddenly laughed loudly.

"Great One, forgive my presumption, but I think even if you don't need it, you... shouldn't return the authority delivered to your door, right?"

The enormous skull didn't get angry because of Cheng Shi's disrespect. He nodded quietly.

"Not bad. This is... 【Mother of Prosperity】's... final practice... of Her own will.

She, gave 【Birth】, 'nourishment'; gave me... 'flawless'; gave 【Filth】... 'assimilation'; gave 【Truth】... 'abundance'...

In short, the gods... all because of... Her fall... received the gift of authority.

But..."

"But it's completely useless!" Cheng Shi laughed crazily, his chin constantly hitting the bone stairs with a clatter.

He only felt this divine drama was too wonderful, so wonderful that he couldn't help but praise it!

【Death】 gave a soft "hmm" and said no more, but Xiang Honglin on the side was full of confusion. She looked at Cheng Shi and asked in confusion:

"Why would it be like this? Did She use Her own fall just to disgust the gods?"

"Disgust? No, no, no!" Cheng Shi smiled, he laughed even louder, "I think, perhaps She never cared about the gods' thoughts. She always cared about Herself.

Especially the will of universal prosperity She advocated!

Look, when 【The Gods】 all received Her gift, when every 'Him' fused with 【Prosperity】's authority, when all the supreme existences in the universe were filled with prosperity, then the magnificent scene of universal prosperity...

Is it still far away?"

"..."

The gods' understanding of authority clearly exceeded Xiang Honglin's cognition. This wasn't her fault; after all, she was just a human, and she knew too little about Them.

But Cheng Shi's understanding of divine authority clearly also exceeded Xiang Honglin's cognition. Her brain was a bit messy, because she clearly felt a vague meaning from Cheng Shi's words, which was:

She died, but it seems She didn't die.

Xiang Honglin, confused, frowned and asked another question:

"Then... why don't They refuse?"

But as soon as this question came out, she stopped.

Refuse?

Who would refuse?

The current situation of 【The Gods】 is that they are in the loopholes of the 【Convention】, plundering each other's authority everywhere. When there is ownerless 【Authority】 delivered to their mouths, it's enough not to take another bite along the direction it came from. Who would refuse?

This is 【Prosperity】, this is 【Prosperity】 who preached "coexist with me" everywhere!

She didn't even hesitate to die to practice Her will.

Too terrifying, too horrible.

Could the thing that made a high and mighty "Him" give up everything to pursue be just Her own faith and will?

Them, or the 【Convention】 set by 【The Gods】, what exactly are they pursuing?

Cheng Shi dared not ask this question at all. He knew he was too small. When you don't have the ability to protect yourself, it's better not to know some things. After all, divine favor isn't always with you. Knowing too much is likely to make you die faster.

So, the scene fell silent again.

Cheng Shi was silently thinking about whether everything in front of him was pushed by Cheng Dashi, or 【Fate】's script, or just an accident from beginning to end.

It's just that he threw a stone into the calm lake under Cheng Dashi's reminder, but he didn't expect it to become the last straw that broke the camel's back, piercing the fragile lake bottom.

And Xiang Honglin was much more conflicted. Although she didn't worship 【Prosperity】, after learning that her only patron had fallen, she had been thinking about what these 【Prosperity】 players would do?

【Death】 saw her surprise and said silently:

"Authority, is only transferred, not... disappeared.

You, except for... not being able to... be summoned by Her again, are no different... from usual.

Trials and blessings, will be acted on behalf of... by the 【Convention】, but...

Her power to reward believers in the trial... I don't know... who it is gifted to."

As soon as the enormous skull finished speaking, a pair of eyes filled with spirals and stars opened in the high sky of the Fish Bone Hall.

Those extremely cold eyes glanced over everything in the hall and pushed a contract emitting the bright light of 【Order】 in front of Xiang Honglin.

Cheng Shi, seeing his patron had arrived, jumped forward two steps and praised loudly:

"Praise the greatest 【Fate】 in the universe!"

Those cold eyes didn't respond. He just blinked without joy or sorrow, and then threw this flattering believer into another void.

After Cheng Shi disappeared, He looked at the shocked Xiang Honglin and opened His mouth coldly.

"I felt your piety to fate, and I have seen your confusion about the road ahead, so I came here to guide you.

Xiang Honglin, are you willing to step into 【Void】, and at the same time walk on the path of 【Fate】, and become my follower?"

Xiang Honglin only hesitated for a second, then nodded firmly:

"I am willing, but... please forgive my presumption, I have some confusion."

The cold eyes turned backward, looking at the player who was about to become His follower, the tone still cold.

"Speak."

"Since my patron... since 【Prosperity】 has fallen, will I turn from a druid into a warrior of today?"

"【Prosperity】 has fallen, but the path of 【Prosperity】 remains. It's just that there is no longer a 'Him' on the divine throne at the end. You can still continue to walk on Her path and explore the end of faith.

I will bestow the Fate Dice that belongs to you. When you pick it up, you will walk on the path of 【Prosperity】 and also walk in the established path of 【Fate】.

【Justice (Order)】 has recognized your identity. As the eldest daughter of 【Mother of Prosperity】, Lady Fulazhuo'er, you still have the right to inherit 【Prosperity】.

But 【Prosperity】 has no authority, so you cannot ascend to Her divine throne.

However, for the sake of justice, 【Justice (Order)】 still retains the necessary power recognized by the 【Convention】 for Her descendants.

This power will be divided into two. 【Truth】 took away the voting power of the 【Divine Convention Assembly】, and all that is left for you is...

The power to reward 【Prosperity】 believers in the trial.

Sign this contract, and the power of 【Prosperity】's descendants will be recognized by the 【Convention】, and you, will truly become a subordinate god of 【Life】, Her messenger, Her eldest daughter, Lady Fulazhuo'er.

A 【Prosperity】 successor with no authority and no voting power in the 【Convention】."

"..." Xiang Honglin's brain exploded again. She wanted to gesture anxiously, but found she had no hands or feet. She looked at the enormous skull beside her pleadingly, hoping this Great One could explain like before, but the enormous skull didn't say a word.

With no other choice, she had to look up at those eyes and ask dryly: "Then, am I... still me?"

"Sign the contract, and you will know the future."

Oh, understood, she had no choice.

So Xiang Honglin gritted her teeth and jumped in front of the contract. She just wanted to ask how a skull with no hands or feet could sign a god's contract, when she found her will appearing on the contract in a form of text she couldn't understand at all.

By the time the contract was signed, the bright light of 【Order】 gradually faded, and the contract turned into countless stars, scattering across the universe.

At the same time, a 24-sided Fate Dice quietly appeared beside her.

"The contract is made, the identity is set, leave."

After speaking, the eyes blinked, sending Xiang Honglin out of this void.

The enormous skull looked up at those cold eyes and said complexly:

"【Fate】, sure enough, is always changing."

After speaking, the entire Fish Bone Hall dissipated, leaving only those playful eyes looking at the mess in the void, their gaze becoming increasingly profound. Perhaps no one will ever know what He was thinking. ===== CHAPTER 331 =====
