Desire Also Has Reservations

Cheng Shi began to operate.

He knew that even if Da Mao had many doubts in her heart, she wouldn't expose him clearly here. At least she would suppress her doubts and wait for his subsequent explanation, so the top priority was to quickly settle Afu Luosi.

So He first gave Da Mao a "don't be impatient" look, then quickly turned to Afu Luosi and pulled out a meaningful smile.

He didn't deny it, or rather, under the halo of 【Envoy Yu Xi】, He didn't need to deny it.

"Lying is one of my methods of getting close to 【Filth】.

Just as I said, Afu Luosi, I cannot guarantee that there are no lies in what I say to you. Everything needs your own judgment.

The era of 【Void】 is full of opportunities, but not everyone can find opportunities in this wave.

I am walking for my Lord, both discovering opportunities and sharing opportunities. As for whether one can grasp them, it doesn't depend on whether that person is lucky, but on whether he is compatible with 【Void】!

So, I cannot tell you the answer, because 【Void】 itself has no answer."

These words sounded meaningless, at least in Hong Lin's ears, Cheng Shi seemed to have said a bunch of nonsense that wasted saliva.

But in Afu Luosi's ears, the meaning was different. He heard Cheng Shi's meaning and knew that the other party's lies were a two-way screening.

People who want to get close to 【Void】 need to find the truth in his lies; while those who cannot get close to 【Void】 will naturally get lost in the lies and get further and further away from the truth.

Afu Luosi didn't want to get lost, nor did He want to lose the truth, so after a moment, He restored His 【Filth】 true colors, completely followed His own desire, and chose...

Take a step back.

This scene was like Him standing at the door of 【Void】 and knocking, and after hearing no one behind the door and endless echoes, He decisively chose to take a step back to prevent Himself from making a mistake and falling into the abyss of 【Void】.

Obviously, compared to Afu Luosi's own obsession, the attraction of getting on the 【Void】 era train was still a bit small for Him.

He firmly believed that after the era of 【Void】 ended, there would be the next era, and there would be endless eras, so He didn't need to rush to make a big bet right now.

He learned the lesson of the 【Existence】 era and knew that the end of a desperate gamble would only make Him a prisoner, so He wisely gave up the gamble set up for Him by this Envoy Yu Xi.

But giving up getting close to 【Void】 didn't mean He couldn't continue to cooperate with Cheng Shi. The "transaction" between the two could obviously continue. He could still understand the "truth" of this era through Cheng Shi's mouth, and Cheng Shi could also know the past buried by history through Him.

It's just that in terms of the depth of the content, perhaps, neither would touch their respective core interests anymore.

So Afu Luosi sat up straight elegantly, first nodded and paid tribute to Hong Lin:

"Sorry, compared to the uncertain successor identity, I prefer to call you Lady Fulazhuo.

Please forgive my offense. After all, I am also a member of 【Life】. Before confirming the news of 【Prosperity】, I cannot blaspheme Her."

And then He smiled brightly at Cheng Shi:

"When I am not that riddle-maker, I hate all riddle-makers.

Tell me, my brother, what are you and this noble Lady Fulazhuo doing here today?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi knew that Afu Luosi had retreated. He only wanted to keep the level of cooperation at "trust between brothers" and no longer go deep into faith standing. But this is also good; at least the transaction is done with peace of mind.

So He replied with a just as bright smile:

"You respect Them more than I imagined, but you don't have to be so cautious. 【Prosperity】 has become the past.

You have also seen that this Fulazhuo, saved by 【Death】, has successfully taken back some things that should have belonged to Her. However, She has been gone for too long, so long that the assimilation of 【Prosperity】 has made Her lose many memories and forget many things about the past era.

So, you understand, it's still information exchange, no, it should be the exchange of past and present. This is something we are both happy to see, isn't it?"

Afu Luosi frowned slightly and looked at Hong Lin. After meeting Hong Lin's scrutinizing gaze, He frowned and asked in confusion:

"I am very curious, what you said about 【Prosperity】 becoming the past, is it what I understand?

She fell?

A True God, fell?

Even let... this Lady Fulazhuo inherit Her divine name?

No, I feel this doesn't seem to be inheritance, but I can't say what this is.

Can you elaborate on this, my brother?

I am thinking, if this is true, such a big thing might not be able to be hidden from the universe for long, right?"

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed:

"It's true, and it can be elaborated, but you got one thing wrong.

I remember I told you about players. In the era of 【Void】, the 【Convention】 restricted all players with a game, making it difficult for them to break the shackles of the rules to obtain information about Them, unless some Him is willing to tell them personally.

So the fall of 【Prosperity】 can theoretically be hidden for a long time.

Yes, 【Prosperity】 just fell.

You don't need to probe anymore, Afu Luosi.

Even if I continuously find you some players living in the present, it will be difficult for you to learn about the fall of 【Prosperity】 from their mouths.

Because they are not qualified, nor do they have the channels to know these things.

However, I can tell you all this, and this doesn't count as part of the information exchange.

This is the greatest sincerity that I, a liar of 【Void】, can show to a friend who is stuck in the past."

As soon as Cheng Shi finished speaking, Afu Luosi couldn't help it. He turned around with the chair, and then, under Hong Lin's gaze, He gorgeously changed from a handsome nobleman to a beautiful and moving noble lady.

The look in His eyes toward Cheng Shi became more and more fiery, but under Hong Lin's gaze, this heat was still somewhat restrained, but the appreciation expressed was simply impossible to cover up.

"......"

Seeing this scene, Hong Lin raised her eyebrows, and her gaze toward Cheng Shi added a bit of teasing.

Cheng Shi shrank his neck awkwardly and didn't dare to look at Da Mao's eyes at all.

He gave a light cough and solemnly told the story of 【Prosperity】's self-destruction. Of course, there was no reason, and the result was unknown. He just spent a lot of time and flowery language describing the magnificent scene at the moment 【Prosperity】 died.

But even so, Afu Luosi felt the shock of a True God's fall from this detailed and vivid description.

"She found Her own will."

Afu Luosi's tone became sighing. After all, no matter what, He could be considered a member of 【Life】.

He sighed and continued:

"So, the noble Lady Fulazhuo has therefore ascended, because of... 【Void】's support?

Indeed, your benefactor has the ability to distort facts, and forging an identity is not strange.

The problem is, will the other two of 【Life】 agree?

When facing the hostility of those three of 【Sinking】, will They agree to truly lift a Messenger who is not so strong onto that divine seat?

But these are not important. After all, this is the era of 【Void】. I have already witnessed the master of the era arbitrarily changing the past once.

Compared to these things, I am more curious, my brother, what you just said about the 【Convention】...

What is it?" ===== CHAPTER 567 =====
