Chapter 538: And the story ends with it
And the story ends with it.
The enemy's approach meant danger was right in front of them, but Cheng Shi was not afraid at all at this moment.
Because just now, just when Nangong faded the color of 【Decay】, the trial also ended.
Although this trial didn't send Cheng Shi out, the prompt he received was indeed that it had ended. He could leave here at any time, leave this Rosna Empire that no longer had any piety.
Not only him, but Nangong's trial also ended.
She looked at Cheng Shi with a confused expression, not having figured out why every time she ran into Cheng Shi, passing the trial was so simple.
Cheng Shi glanced at Nangong and saw her confusion, laughing secretly in his heart: Little girl, your experience is too little. When you really use my name to pray for a trial of 【Prosperity】, you will understand what is called simple!
Big Cat must have arranged it for you clearly.
"Leave here. Pray for a trial as soon as possible according to what I said. The road ahead might be easier to walk.
Although this is cruel, I have to remind you, Nangong, not every trial is so simple, and not every..."
Cheng Shi wanted to say that not everyone on that repayment ledger of yours is still a good person right now. Different environments create different personalities. You'd better be careful.
But after thinking about it, he swallowed these words back.
Everyone has their own choices. He had no right to interfere with others. Perhaps for Nangong, recognizing a person by herself could also be considered a kind of repayment.
Cheng Shi looked at Nangong with complex eyes and urged again: "Leave here, your trial is over."
Nangong's eyes were even more complex. She seemed to understand Cheng Shi's meaning and also knew that she, a person without faith and talent, would only be a burden here, so she nodded firmly.
"Cheng Shi, I will remember you."
After finishing, the little priest gradually faded away, and it was at this moment that the sound of a signal arrow came from above Cannar City.
Da Yi and Qu Yan were both sending signals to request a gathering. Cheng Shi frowned slightly and looked outside the Imperial Court, rushing out with agile movements.
Before long, the three met again in the First Imperial Prince's room. Da Yi looked solemn, and as soon as he saw Cheng Shi, he opened his mouth and said:
"Grandma... my lord, the trial is over! The two players I was following disappeared directly!"
The Chameleon clearly lost his target. Leaving the trial was the power of the game rules, and he couldn't stop it, so he considered his mission a failure.
But strangely, Qu Yan didn't look depressed, or rather, he wanted to look a bit depressed, but unfortunately, the joy in his eyes was too obvious to be hidden at all, so he had to control the corners of his mouth and lower his head, not looking at Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.
Cheng Shi glanced at Qu Yan thoughtfully, seeming to have thought of something. His expression became very strange, but soon he responded to Da Yi's anxiety. He didn't blame them, but nodded with a smile:
"Don't panic, I know the trial is over.
I said, even if we couldn't find that 【Gift of Scars】, I wouldn't let you come for nothing.
It was I who found the key to passing, ending this trial."
"Ah?" Da Yi paused, just about to open his mouth to thank him, but then his expression sank. He suddenly realized that what Lord Ultraman meant was... that dagger still hadn't been found!
"My lord, could it be that They again..."
Right, too right, this is the sentence I was waiting for!
Cheng Shi nodded with a heavy expression. That expression undoubtedly said that the gods had intervened too deeply, and that dagger was lost again.
However, in order to eliminate the influence of subsequent tasks, he added:
"We have lost the opportunity to obtain Dezel's soul. The mission is void. Next, I need to think carefully about how to play the next move...
As for now, before leaving here, come with me to the city wall to see. The World-Enders seem to have arrived."
Da Yi was very disappointed with the mission failure. After all, that was the only way he could obtain the gaze of the benefactor right now. Cheng Shi saw his disappointment and comforted him with a smile:
"No need to worry. After this trial ends, you...
might not be unable to walk on the 【Chaos Divine Rank】."
"!!!" Da Yi widened his eyes suddenly, looking at him in disbelief, "My lord, for real?"
"If you don't want to, you don't have to go." Cheng Shi hummed with a smile and ignored him, taking the lead and walking toward the city wall of Cannar City.
Da Yi followed behind with excitement, clenching his fists tightly, wanting to express his excitement several times, but besides "Grandma's," he really couldn't find any words that could better express his current mood, so after hesitating for a moment, he chose to give up.
But then he looked at Qu Yan, wanting to share his joy with this temporary worker who joined halfway, but he didn't expect that this glance made him discover that the opponent seemed even more excited than himself.
?
You Chameleon, you've been dyed with my color already?
How come I got the benefit, and you're so excited!
The Chameleon naturally knew Da Yi was looking at him, but he didn't know what the opponent was thinking, because he hadn't had time to care about what Da Yi was thinking since just now. He was immersed in wild joy, unable to extricate himself.
As for the reason for this wild joy...
Praise Lord 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】. It was his layout that allowed himself... to successfully possess a second faith!
That's right, Qu Yan became a hunter with dual faiths. At this stage, even when many God-Chosen hadn't found a second faith, he, a rank-6 【Silence】, just because he stood on the right side, became a player with dual faiths!
And his second faith was naturally... 【Decay】.
At this moment when 【Decay】 was beginning to ebb, he accidentally served as a Twilight Hunter!
Actually, Qu Yan's second faith was indeed related to Cheng Shi, but Cheng Shi knew nothing about it.
When Cheng Shi asked Qu Yan to play a Twilight Hunter, this Chameleon of the Worship God Society began to constantly probe the intention of Lord 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】. He couldn't guess the deep meaning of a 【Deception】 believer, especially a 【Deception】 Messenger, but he knew how to listen.
He repeatedly savored the sentence "Whether you can find that dagger depends on how well you disguise yourself," and then used all his strength to play a Twilight Hunter. In order to be more like it, he didn't hesitate to tear a few wounds on his body, and at the same time let the aura of the Tomb-End Stone appropriately corrode his body.
In this way, unless someone recognized him, at a glance, even a peak player would have to admit he was a 【Decay】 believer!
He even thought, if only he were truly a 【Decay】 believer, so that Lord 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】's plan could be carried out better.
Under the influence of this belief, he even maintained the disguise of a Twilight Hunter while tracking those players, and constantly hinted to himself that he was a 【Decay】 believer.
And just at this time, Cheng Shi obtained the gaze of 【Decay】 and received the bestowal of "Fading."
That was the moment when the true will of 【Decay】 was understood by others, and the vision of universal decay was resonated. That god who "begged" for pity reached the peak of His mercy at that moment. He felt Qu Yan's "begging," so He followed His own expectations and bestowed a 【Decay】 identity upon the "pitiful person" Qu Yan.
Of course, He shouldn't have expanded His faith when the tide of 【Decay】 was ebbing, but it was precisely because He felt Qu Yan's subordinate relationship with Cheng Shi and knew that the bestowal at this time wouldn't affect the great cause of universal decay, and even helped His personally designated Fader to promote the great cause of 【Decay】, so He acted.
In the end, this wasn't a simple gift to a "pitiful person," but more like a minor benefit attached to Cheng Shi's "will resonance."
But obtaining a second faith wasn't that simple. It wasn't that the second benefactor agreed and it would be bestowed, because the prerequisite for merging faiths was that one must obtain the recognition of the original benefactor.
But the coincidence was that the Chameleon's original benefactor was that 【Silence】 who "never expresses, never comments," and only knows how to watch from the sidelines!
He might have already gazed upon this place, but He never commented, and no comment meant... no refusal.
Thus, by various coincidences, the Chameleon Qu Yan silently "earned" a "big one."
He attributed all this to following the right master, and his eyes became more and more fanatical when looking at Cheng Shi. But he didn't know that his master, Lord 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】, was still confused after feeling the surging 【Decay】 power on him.
What does this mean? Was the will of the ebbing tide misunderstood?
How come there's an additional 【Decay】 believer?
This tide just ebbed and it's coming back up, right?
Cheng Shi did feel a bit messy, but it didn't affect his mood, because he suddenly discovered that when this Chameleon possessed a 【Decay】 faith, if the opponent resisted again... then he seemed to be able to let him taste the "Majesty of the Fader"!
Yi! That "consequences at your own risk" on the blank A4 paper didn't seem to be an empty phrase anymore!
So should this ending be attributed to 【Fate】, or 【Decay】?
Forget it, praise them together.
Praise 【Fate】, may you finally see the predetermined.
Praise 【Decay】, may you... decay as soon as possible. ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
