Chapter 470: The Grand Marshal

The Grand Marshal's True Goal!

"There's nothing to be sorry about. The one who should be sorry is me. Although I have coveted this trial, I truly have no more intelligence regarding the history of the trial to share with you.

However, there is one point I suddenly figured out. If what Hu Wei said is correct, and the body of Oupusika was truly abandoned, then it really might be on the turf of 【Truth】, because the 【Desolate Walker】 was originally killed by... 【Truth】."

"!"

Hu Xuan raised her eyebrows with interest and smiled. "Are you finally willing to share the history you witnessed with me?"

"Did you guess it, or did Mo Li tell you?"

"It was him. Before he curried favor, he beat around the bush. Although he didn't say that much, I could still make out the gist from his fragmented words.

So, what they said is true? 【Prosperity】... has truly fallen?"

Cheng Shi glanced at the others and did not respond directly to Hu Xuan, but let her know the result in another way.

"No need to worry, 【Life】 has not been affected."

Hu Xuan's pupils shrank. She first looked at Cheng Shi with a solemn gaze, and then her expression suddenly softened, and even her smile became relaxed.

This is him, a player capable of creating miracles.

Her gaze toward Cheng Shi was very complex, but in this complex emotion, one could clearly see a trace of unsurprising shock and a trace of "as expected of you" affirmation.

Who could imagine that a player would witness the fall of a god?

No, it should be said, who would dare to imagine it?

Hu Xuan put herself in his shoes; even if this thought had just risen in her mind, she would have been scared out of her wits. After all, those are Them!

Once one of 【Them】 falls, what a shocking, terrifying, and indescribable scene that must be!

And the Fate Weaver in front of her just admitted so casually that he had witnessed this matter!

If it were someone else, even if another God-Chosen were telling her this, Hu Xuan might have wondered if it were fake. But if it were Cheng Shi, needless to say, it must be true.

Because her own identity was the best proof!

This Fate Weaver used inconceivable means to mend her fate and graft it onto the body of a Messenger. It could be said that her identity as a Messenger was "created" by him.

Since he could "procreate" a subordinate god, how could he not witness the "death" of a true god, especially when this true god was "Prosperity"...

【Life】, ah. It seems there is no distinction between high and low; it is equally fragile!

Just as Hu Xuan was lost in thought due to the shock, Cheng Shi suddenly frowned, his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly as if he had realized something:

"I understand!

I've thought of it!

I know what the Grand Marshal is plotting.

No wonder. Mo Li's favor-currying was a double warning; he wasn't just warning you to watch out for Hu Wei, he truly wanted to tell you the risks of that trial.

It seems that Da Yi knew about this long ago. No wonder the Grand Marshal said that item must be obtained. In my opinion, it is indeed very attractive!

Even more valuable than the shell of the Desolate Walker!"

"?" Hu Xuan's expression finally became less elegant. In her impression, she had always felt Cheng Shi was not a riddle-maker for 【Fate】, but today, that idea changed.

Riddle-makers are truly annoying.

But fortunately, Hu Xuan was very straightforward, so she "solved the riddle" in her own way:

"They say people with high wisdom understand at a hint, so they speak very little and won't care if ordinary people can understand.

I am probably that ordinary person. However, if possible, I hope the child can inherit your high wisdom."

"......"

Cheng Shi's excitement instantly froze on his face.

He shivered in fear and immediately realized that his vague words had made Sister Xuan unhappy, so he rubbed his face and hurriedly explained in a low voice:

"I don't know if you've heard of this history. The Grand Marshal also said that 【Prosperity】's second son, Dizer, accepted the punishment of soul-body separation from 【Decay】. His shell became the 【Desolate Walker】, and his soul turned into the 【Gift of Scars】.

And the 【Desolate Walker】 is already dead, dead at the hands of 【Truth】. I don't know if its shell was truly abandoned and lost after being utilized by 【Truth】, but what I can be sure of is...

The 【Gift of Scars】 is in danger!

Because it suddenly turned from a person waiting for atonement who might become a Messenger due to wavering faith into a soul of a subordinate god with no backing!

It once betrayed 【Decay】, and now 【Prosperity】 has also fallen, and its own shell has been snatched by 【Truth】, so it has become a 'helpless' lonely soul!

Think about it, if you had the opportunity to obtain the soul of a subordinate god, would you share it with others?"

A sharp light flashed in Hu Xuan's eyes. This time she understood:

"So Hu Wei's goal is the 【Gift of Scars】!

He used Oupusika as a cover to find an excuse to set up the trial?

But many people probably know about this, like you, like Mo Li, so he didn't hide it from his teammates at all. Since he couldn't hide it, why go through all this trouble?"

Cheng Shi snorted:

"I don't think it's necessarily all for nothing. Only if the benefits are large enough can these God-Chosen be called to take action.

I think he must have obtained extremely certain news from a special channel to want to take a gamble. But the process of this search is likely to be extremely dangerous, perhaps even requiring human lives to fill the gap!

Remember Yu Mu, whom I mentioned before?"

"That 【Decay】 hunter who wasn't let go?"

"Yes. Players from the 【Decay】 camp have always been unwelcome. I've been wondering why the Grand Marshal was so attentive to him. Now that I think about it..."

Cheng Shi didn't finish his sentence, but Hu Xuan understood. She said thoughtfully:

"He is far more suitable than others to fill the human life pit in the trial..."

Cheng Shi nodded with a heavy gaze:

"I'm afraid that's the case.

The Grand Marshal is righteous, but all this righteousness only happens when you and he have no conflicting interests.

But now, the interests are too relevant and too huge, so we must be careful. And this is likely one of the reasons Mo Li warned us.

This Chief Assistant, he actually looks like a friend worth making..."

Hu Xuan looked at the crowd thoughtfully and nodded slowly.

After Long Jing left, he didn't know what else he said to Mo Li. In any case, not long after, the field became quiet again.

Seeing that everyone had finished their preparations, Hu Wei came to the field again and said:

"Time is almost up. We should set off."

He casually took out a circular disc clock and stuck it in the ground, gathering everyone in front of the clock.

The second hand on the clock jumped tick by tick. Time would soon reach 12 o'clock.

Of course, it was already midnight, so the time on this watch was not accurate at all; it was just to anchor a standard for everyone to pray simultaneously. ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
