Chapter 435

【Covenant】, you said the word 【Covenant】, right!

"Heh."

If "Zhen Yi" hadn't said that last sentence, perhaps no one present would have believed what came out of her mouth.

But that very line, "You wouldn't believe it, would you?", made everyone frown and fall into deep thought.

Even Long Jing, who was also a swindler, fell silent.

When something is very outrageous, it might indeed be a lie.

But when something is too outrageous, it can't even be a lie anymore.

With the scores of 【Prosperity】 followers generally rising, who would dare to say that 【Prosperity】 has fallen?

Once this was said, whether it was the 【Decay】 followers who were just denouncing the fall of 【Decay】, or the 【Prosperity】 followers who had been keeping quiet and making a fortune, no one could speak.

How should one evaluate the intelligence "Zhen Yi" provided?

Setting aside truth or falsehood, the vast majority of people present had only two words in their minds: crazy woman.

Hu Wei clearly knew something others didn't. He rarely didn't question the intelligence "Zhen Yi" provided, but instead asked Long Jing with a deep frown:

"Long Jing, you two, who sought out whom first?"

Long Jing's expression changed. He immediately understood Hu Wei's meaning and said with a dark face:

"Zhen Xin took away a part of her memories, that's why she came to me to deal with that Fate Weaver!"

"..."

Everyone present was a smart person, and smart people have one good quality: they understand things instantly.

Now all the information matched up.

Soon, these few God-Chosen guessed the same thing: perhaps a god really had fallen, and the one who fell was very likely 【Prosperity】!

This wasn't a conclusion inferred from the game's current status or factual evidence, but a guess derived from interpersonal relationships.

As everyone knows, while paths don't represent stances, 【Sinking】 and 【Chaos】 still carry the color of "evil" in the players' cognition, especially certain faiths that are not welcomed by most players from the start, such as... 【Decay】.

And those peak players of 【Decay】 indeed have very average relationships with others.

From this perspective, if 【Decay】 fell and Zhen Xin happened to find out about it, then as the player best at cooperation, she would definitely not give up on getting a piece of the pie in this matter.

But she probably couldn't extract benefits from a god's fall on her own, so she would definitely find people to cooperate with. Even if she needed to gather a trial of 6 people, she would at least find 5 collaborators. And this way, as long as there was movement, others wouldn't be completely unaware.

After all, interpersonal relationships are very flexible in the current era of 【Gods】 descending.

Some things, once known by outsiders, can only be hidden for a while at most; soon the news will spread through various unexpected channels.

Of course, the targets of this spreading might be limited to peak players; ordinary players don't have this qualification.

But this time, everyone present clearly hadn't received the news.

That explains one thing: this could only be that Zhen Xin deliberately hid the news.

As a peak player, she wouldn't want to not profit from it, so there are very few reasons that would justify her not finding people to cooperate with, especially since the one who fell was 【Decay】; she had no need to save face for those 【Decay】 peaks.

But if... the one who fell was 【Prosperity】, that would be different, because Zhen Xin and Baldy have a pretty good relationship.

The cooperation between Zhen Xin and Baldy is something many people know. Although Baldy and her sister don't get along, that doesn't hinder them from cooperating very happily.

So is it possible that Zhen Xin is helping her 【Prosperity】 friend... overcome a difficult situation?

After figuring this out, Mo Li frowned and asked the crowd:

"Recently, have you encountered Baldy?"

Everyone looked at each other, didn't speak, but their gazes narrowed slightly.

Chen Shu added thoughtfully: "Neither have I. Not only haven't I encountered Baldy, but I haven't encountered that slovenly freak either."

Slovenly freak?

Everyone was stunned and immediately understood who Chen Shu was referring to. So "Only Carving Rotten Wood" hadn't been seen for a long time either.

So 【Prosperity】 really is in trouble?

But why, when 【Prosperity】 is in trouble, did His followers get benefits instead?

【Decay】 won the divine war but generously rewarded the opponent's followers?

Is He... sick?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Mo Li's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and he silently mouthed a word to Hu Wei.

Hu Wei's pupils shrank after seeing it, and he nodded.

They seemed to "know" the inside story.

Seeing these two exchanging glances, Long Jing felt even more annoyed. He failed to catch the word Mo Li said, so he prepared to ask Zhen Yi for an answer. But unexpectedly, Chen Shu, who was looking around, saw Mo Li's lip movements, so he just like that, without any cover, in front of everyone, under the gaze of all the attendees at the venue, said the thing that shouldn't have been known by players:

"【Covenant】, you said the word 【Covenant】, right, Brother Law?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Cheng Shi was amused. Before this, he never imagined that the biggest secret among the 【Gods】 would just be blurted out like this.

What surprised him even more was that Chen Shu seemed not to know of the existence of this thing called the 【Covenant】!

Not just him, the look of surprise on Long Jing's face also showed that this 【Deception】 rank-two player also didn't know of the existence of the 【Covenant】. Mo Li and Hu Wei, however, were not surprised; they were only surprised that Chen Shu dared to say the word directly like that.

"【Covenant】... what is it?" Long Jing asked with a look of longing.

"This thing..."

Mo Li was just about to speak when he was interrupted by "Zhen Yi," who was watching with great interest.

She looked at Chen Shu with squinted eyes and gave him a thumbs up.

"Brother Chen Shu is amazing, it is 【Covenant】!

Everything you see regarding the phenomenon of 【Prosperity】 followers rising in rank is actually...

compensation made by the 【Covenant】 to 【Prosperity】 players to make up for the vacancy in the divine position!"

"!!!"

Everyone looked at "Zhen Yi" in shock, only Chen Shu said something untimely:

"Is this also a lie this time?"

"Zhen Yi" laughed until tears were about to fall: "Otherwise? It must be a lie to you."

"..."

Fine, fine, so we're acting now.

What the current "Zhen Yi" is saying is no longer important; what's important is that everyone has their own thoughts, and they are all silently verifying it against all the information they know.

Hu Wei frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked "Cheng Shi":

"Brother, how much do you remember about the last trial?"

"Cheng Shi" shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed:

"Brother Hu, although it's embarrassing, I really don't remember."

As soon as this was said, someone on the scene immediately changed their expression.

Long Jing's pupils shrank, but he quickly lowered his head to hide his shock.

On the contrary, the real Cheng Shi was startled and almost pointed at the other party's nose to curse.

No, how can you cheat halfway through the act!?

Where is Zhen Yi?

Where did you put Zhen Yi?

How did the actor for "Cheng Shi" suddenly become Zhen Xin!?

Cheng Shi was shocked, and Long Jing was also confused, because the sentence "Cheng Shi" just said was clearly a lie!

The Master of Deception told these two swindlers that "Cheng Shi" lied...

And that meant "Cheng Shi" still retained his memories; he still remembered everything that happened in the last trial!

Long Jing didn't act rashly; he just cautiously glanced at "Zhen Yi" with his peripheral vision, and Cheng Shi happened to meet his gaze.

This sudden examination made Cheng Shi's heart sink. He cursed silently, thinking, "Not good, the situation has indeed changed again."

The bad news is that the other party didn't choose to fold but chose to call, and the trouble has returned.

The good news is that not everyone can see the other party's call. Currently, only this 【Deception】 rank-two player has the qualifications to join the table.

As for which table he joined...

Naturally, it is the table of 【Deception】 that rises and falls with the waves of lies in the undercurrents that no one can see.

The scam has become complicated again!
