Chapter 545: The True [Chaos] Envoy, My Lord Ultraman!

The true 【Chaos】 Envoy, my lord Ultraman!

Hu Wei has ascended.

He was spat out by 【Mocking Ridicule】, returned to his original form, and stood upon this platform; with him came Seeing Da Yi.

To be honest, before Seeing Da Yi stepped onto the platform, Cheng Shi never imagined that the foul mouth trailing behind Big Cake was actually Seeing Da Yi...

Laughable, even the God of Amusement thinks his mouth stinks?

Indeed, he can even picture Seeing Da Yi's reaction upon first learning he was a foul mouth; this irritable old brother would surely curse:

"Damn it, why must I be a foul mouth?"

That's the vibe, exactly right; thanks to your constant "damn it," you've won the God of Amusement's Best Stinking Mouth Award.

But to be fair, no matter how heavy Seeing Da Yi's catchphrases are, they couldn't stink worse than Chen Shu; what would Chen Shu look like in the eyes of the God of Amusement?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly grew eager to see Chen Shu's image within 【Mocking Ridicule】.

His state grew ever more relaxed, yet these two who came to pay homage were incredibly solemn.

Hu Wei was fine; he looked fairly calm. Even if nervous inside, this deeply scheming good big brother would never show it on his face.

Seeing Da Yi was different; his nature was more direct. Especially after cooperating with my lord Ultraman in one round, now seeing my lord summon him again here, he first pulled a smiling face to greet, then obediently followed right behind Hu Wei's butt.

However, both men's peripheral vision kept constantly scanning everything around them, obviously unfamiliar with this place.

Cheng Shi saw this and understood clearly; Seeing Da Yi had said they had never walked the 【Chaos Divine Stairs】, so naturally they could not have come here.

But the timing of their arrival here...

Cheng Shi's mind turned, and he figured out some things; this suspicious good big brother probably suspected his identity, so he used the excuse of ascending the Divine Stairs to come here and request an audience with 【Chaos】.

And 【Chaos】... perhaps saw him disguising as Ultraman during the trial, so right after the trial ended, summoned him back!

It seems to be covering up loopholes for him!

Is It that good!?

No, no no no, Cheng Shi, oh Cheng Shi, you must be alert; this might be a probe, or very likely a temptation; It is tempting you to draw near; once you taste the sweetness of power, putting it down again will be hard!

You are a Walker of 【Void】, not a subordinate of 【Chaos】; do not get confused!

Just as Cheng Shi kept reminding himself internally, the sentence 【Memory】 had spoken flashed through his mind again...

In this world...

Go to hell!!!

Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and suppressed all his doubts.

Even if there is no good without reason in this world, when I am penniless and powerless to refuse, I can only accept this good without reason!

I am never afraid of the world treating me with illusions, because Old Jia told me that even within illusions there is tenderness.

Moreover, my attitude toward this world is also an illusion, because the person I could treat with my whole heart... he is already gone.

Since both are mirages, since both are void dreams, why dare not embrace this 【Void】!

Cheng Shi, you cannot let 【Memory】's words become your heart-demon!

Walk and see, act and deceive; there is no one in this world who cannot be deceived; do not presume to be a deceiver who is never deceived; just be the one deceived the least!

Your goal has only one: win a top scholar title for Old Jia!

If the promise made by 【Deceit】 is true, and It truly will bestow upon you, the chosen one, the powers of the Deceit Gods, then, at that time, you will deceive back everything you were deceived into!

Mutual deceit and trickery, that is all.

Do not let these suspicions become stumbling blocks on your path!

Cheng Shi realized; in that instant, it was as if a thin film shackling him was pierced, letting him suddenly inhale fresh oxygen from beyond the fetters; his whole person became spirited, his gaze shining, his spirit soaring.

This state of confidence bursting from within, which he himself might not realize how brilliant it was, looked to the other two like a light blooming behind the Envoy, a divine light that made them feel ashamed of their own filth.

Hu Wei's eyes flashed with astonishment; he lowered his head slightly to show respect. Seeing Da Yi was shocked in his heart, becoming even more reverent.

Cheng Shi snapped back from self-correction, looked at Hu Wei in the very front, chuckled lightly, and before giving him any chance to speak, questioned first:

"I sense your doubt, but useless suspicion will only slow your steps."

"!!!"

Hearing these words, how could Hu Wei not know his probe ended before it even began? The one with Seeing Da Yi must be my lord Ultraman, absolutely my lord Ultraman; there could be no one else.

His figure suddenly froze; he lowered his head devoutly: "I have overstepped, my lord."

Seeing Da Yi even bent and bowed, but his expression was not as devout as Hu Wei's; instead, it carried a hint of teasing smile. After all, it was Old Hu who didn't believe, not him; it was Old Hu who got scolded, not him, so he didn't care much.

His ultimate goal was simply to walk those 【Chaos Divine Stairs】.

Seeing Da Yi wanted to pay homage to the god; even though my lord Ultraman was an Envoy serving before the god, basically relaying Its will, but...

He still wanted to see his benefactor with his own eyes, to see one of the sixteen most supreme and honored in this game.

Seeing the two of them look like elementary school students admitting mistakes, Cheng Shi smiled again.

"Caution is a good thing; it is not wrong.

I am indeed trying some new things; this concerns 【Void】, and also this era..."

Speaking thus, Cheng Shi took the words he had said to Seeing Da Yi in the previous trial and repeated them word for word. After understanding my lord's plan, the two of them suddenly saw the light.

So my lord Envoy had deeper calculations; it was I who was shallow.

But...

Hu Wei's expression grew complex; he raised his head to look at my lord and tentatively spoke:

"Then... my lord, that player named Cheng Shi..."

Look, my big brother still remembers me; even while being scolded before the Envoy, he still remembered to ask about me!

What a good big brother; except for not saving me, he is good in every way.

"..."

Cheng Shi suppressed the urge to retort and spoke casually:

"He's doing well.

I merely stole his identity. Of course, I wasn't the only one who stole his identity — others were also eager to try."

"Someone else stole his identity?" Hu Wei and Seeing Da Yi were both dumbfounded.

Cheng Shi nodded:

"That's right. Everything I said to the mediocre man is true — I am playing him, and the reason I chose him is precisely because 【Fate】 truly did summon him.

No one can see through 【Fate】, just as no one can read 【the Void】.

So I am as curious as you are, and this is what drove me to make this decision — to try a thing or two for my lord in the era of 【the Void】.

Enough, you need not understand too much of these matters. It's still too early for you. Today there is only one thing — to fulfill your wish of an audience with Him.

Do you see that door? Go on, the long stairway ascending to the divine temple is right there. As for how many steps you can walk, that depends entirely on your talent."

Saying so, Cheng Shi pointed toward the door, his smile laden with meaning.

Hu Wei and Seeing Da Yi turned their heads to look. When they saw the boundless 【Chaos】 waves surging from behind the torn Door of the Codex, endless fervor welled up in their eyes.

This time, even the most composed Grand Marshal couldn't control his expression. Though he hadn't seen how many steps the stairway had, so as not to be distracted while walking, he still took a deep breath, suppressed the extreme excitement in his heart, and asked:

"My lord, how many steps will it take to attain the honor of an audience with my lord?"

How many steps?

Heh, how would I know — I've never finished walking it myself.

Cheng Shi flinched inwardly, but on the surface said mysteriously:

"You'll know once you walk it."
