Chapter 536: Speculation about the true will of [Decay]!

Speculation about the true will of 【Decay】!

(Thanks to everyone for voting and supporting, two extra chapters before the end of the month!)

As everyone knows, the establishment of 【Covenant】 must be related to 【Him】. Although Cheng Shi doesn't know the specific content and purpose, by probing the performance of his two benefactors, it's not hard to guess that Their attitudes toward 【Source】 are also different!

The overturning of the era is related to 【Source】. 【Fate】 advocates the predetermined, pushing the era of 【Nothingness】 toward its end, so it can be understood in disguise that He tends to "approach" 【Him】.

But 【Deception】 is different. His opinion is contrary to 【Fate】. In this way, He probably tends to stay away from 【Him】.

Since everyone in 【Covenant】 has their own preferences, then looking back at 【Decay】, does He have His own preferences... could He also be a member of the "approach faction"?

It's even very likely that He is an impatient approach faction. He is using His own actions, wanting to obtain the gaze of 【Him】 in advance!

And this point can also find some evidence in the history of the gods, just like the changes Avlos mentioned.

【Decay】 was not merciful at first, which means He didn't need followers. But how could a god not pay attention to the spread of His own faith?

If this were true, it could only mean that He had other more important things to do at the time, such as... wholeheartedly "moving" 【Source】.

He wants to obtain the gaze of 【Him】!

And when He discovered that 【Source】 had not gazed upon Him, He changed His strategy, wanting to use a more grand decay to win the attention of 【Him】, but He failed again, because He said the four words "the past is useless" Himself.

One must know that the timing of these four words was in the present, after Cheng Shi used the sophistry of 【Prosperity】 to devour the faith of 【Decay】, and this also means that "the past is useless" did not deny His first stage, but His second stage.

So could it be that He discovered the truth that even the decay of the universe could not "move" 【Source】, so He crowned Himself with the title of "pitiful person"?

He felt He had been "abandoned," He felt He needed to change His strategy again...

Because at this time, the faith of 【Decay】 had long since spread throughout the universe. 【Decay】 was no longer "decaying." Since His will was spread throughout the universe, "pitiful" naturally was no longer pitiful.

Based on this, Cheng Shi speculated that He, who was "begging," might be experiencing the third stage, and the essence of this stage was to let the 【Decay】 of the universe... ebb!

When only the unique 【Decay】 remained in the universe, perhaps it would be the most pitiful time for Him, who sat on the throne of God, and this was also a decay of the universe in a specific sense!

And in the previous trial of 【Decay】, His inaction toward 【Prosperity】 invading the Sighing Forest was also strong evidence for this speculation!

And the above is the greatest inference Cheng Shi made about 【Decay】 based on what he knew!

【Decay】... is going to be gone!

At the same time that 【Prosperity】 died, this god who had lost his home was also dying!

It's just that 【Prosperity】 died in life, while He, died in faith!

Of course, all of this was Cheng Shi's conjecture before it was confirmed by any of Them, so he said he wanted to try.

He wanted to try to see if his speculation was correct, and right now, there was the most suitable opportunity.

Nangong, if this little girl who suffered from the misery of 【Decay】 could successfully get rid of the misery today, it would mean his speculation was at least partially correct.

Cheng Shi looked at Nangong and nodded with a smile: "You didn't hear wrong, I was indeed asking if you wanted to change your faith."

Nangong was stunned. Her pupils contracted violently, and her whole body visibly tensed up. A layer of fine goosebumps rose on her rough skin, which was covered in scars.

She looked at Cheng Shi in disbelief, swallowed unconsciously, and asked stammeringly: "Who... who exactly are you?"

"Cheng Shi, the genuine Cheng Shi."

"Then why..."

Cheng Shi reached out and interrupted her: "Don't worry about so much, just say whether you want to change or not."

"I..." Nangong probably wanted to. Her eyes lit up for a moment, and she just wanted to say something, but then they dimmed again, shrinking back: "Forget it, losing the help of the artifact spirit and then carrying a curse of oath-breaking, I probably... won't be able to live."

"Mm, that's a problem. Although I feel that He might not bestow a curse upon you, this is indeed one of the risks.

But if you want to gain benefits, you must bear the risks. There has never been a must-win situation in a gamble. I can only say that if you want to try, I can try my best to find a way to eliminate the influence brought by the curse of 【Decay】.

But I can't guarantee it, because I said this is a gamble. Once you sit at the table, Nangong, you can only bear the risks yourself."

"..." Nangong looked at Cheng Shi and sized him up for a long time. She seemed to hear something and asked tentatively: "Do you... have you already prepared a new object of faith for me?"

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Smart."

"Can I ask..."

"【Prosperity】, the opposite of your benefactor, 【Prosperity】!"

"?" Nangong was stunned again. For a moment, she felt that Cheng Shi wanted her to die. "I... can I refu..."

"You can think about it carefully." Cheng Shi interrupted Nangong's words meaningfully, silently closed his eyes, and stopped talking, leaving enough time for the opponent to consider.

Nangong watched Cheng Shi close his eyes directly, and the entanglement in her heart almost broke through the sky.

She could feel the opponent's good intentions, but Cheng Shi also said that this matter had risks, and the risks might not be small.

She also saw Cheng Shi's uncertainty. Although she couldn't understand the way of it, she felt that this didn't look like a gamble specially prepared for her, but more like an experiment, an experiment Cheng Shi wanted to push forward unilaterally.

Thinking of this, Nangong became even more entangled.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but soon the ledger recording kindness flashed through, and Cheng Shi's name was still written on that notebook filled with words.

And now... it wasn't time to cross out the opponent, but time to add another stroke.

He saved her one more time. This time, it was to let her get rid of the misery of the 【Gift of Scars】.

He...

Nangong gritted her teeth and suddenly asked: "Will I die?"

Cheng Shi slowly opened his eyes and shook his head firmly: "Definitely not."

Nangong clenched her fists, seemingly having made up her mind. She recited in her heart: I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to repay others' kindness before I die. Sorry, Cheng Shi, I owe too much kindness, I can't die here yet.

But if I won't die...

"Okay! I want to try!"

Just as the words left her lips, Cheng Shi's gaze condensed, and he said solemnly: "You've decided?"

"Mm, I've decided, I want to try.

What should I do?"

Cheng Shi smiled. He pointed to the sky and then said: "Pray to Him, yes, that's Him, your benefactor 【Decay】. Explain your misery clearly to Him, and then beg Him to break the shackles of your faith."

"!!!!!"

Nangong was stunned. Her brain was buzzing again. Now she was sure that Cheng Shi wanted her to die!

"..." Her expression looked at Cheng Shi extremely complexly. She gathered her courage several times and swallowed it back. Finally, after seeing Cheng Shi's soft gaze, her heart settled down a bit. She pursed her lips and asked hesitantly: "Are you tricking me?"

Cheng Shi smiled, brilliantly and happily.

"I never trick people." ===== CHAPTER 537 =====
