Chapter 612

My benefactor, which path should I take?

Cheng Shi's last sentence was purely flattery based on a bait-and-switch.

Because even if he guessed it all right, it was 【Chaos】 and 【Deception】 together who defeated 【Order】, not to mention the truth was that 【Chaos】 and 【Deception】 only defeated a certain 【Order】 after it split.

Correct, Cheng Shi guessed right. He guessed the motive right, guessed the process right, guessed the result right, but......

He only guessed these six words right. Everything else...... was all wrong.

【Deception】 did indeed, for some purpose, join forces with 【Chaos】 to take down 【Paranoia (Order)】, and encouraged 【Chaos】 to ascend the divine throne of 【Order】 to play 【Order】. Of course, the divine throne left vacant after 【Chaos】 disappeared...... naturally, they picked up the bargain.

Originally, they were just sitting in for this vacant divine throne, but as 【Chaos】 gradually let go of the past and stripped away themselves, 【Deception】 slowly picked up the divine authority that should have belonged to that divine throne.

Until just now, until Cheng Shi, by chance, gained the recognition of 【Chaos】 and absorbed the last part of His divine authority, 【Deception】 took the last piece of the puzzle of all 【Chaos】 divine authority from Cheng Shi.

Therefore, in this drama where everyone is acting, the biggest winner is not 【Chaos】 who willingly chose 【Order】, nor is it Cheng Shi who fused his faith, but 【Deception】 who got the divine power!

They just didn't expect that the faith fusion, which should have been bestowed by them after taking back all the divine power, was obtained by Cheng Shi from the real 【Chaos】 ahead of time through a series of flashy operations.

In that confrontation between man and god, the most correct decision Cheng Shi made was to have 【Chaos】, who was playing 【Order】, acknowledge him as a believer of 【Chaos】.

Because before completely letting go, acting is acting after all. 【Chaos】 has always been 【Chaos】. So with His acknowledgment, this fusion would no longer have the color of 【Deception】 and became seamless.

Cheng Shi waited expectantly for an answer, but his benefactor didn't eat this flattery. Those eyes turned slightly and said happily:

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander.

I have always followed the rules and respected the 【Convention】, and even more so 【Order】. How could I do such things that anger both gods and men and are shouted at by everyone?

I think you've been too close to that benefactor of yours who is tired of dealing with things, and you've been infected by Him, always liking to label people, and crooked labels at that.

But seeing as you are ignorant, I will forgive you this time.

Give thanks."

Give thanks? I thank you!

What you said is the same as not saying anything. Clearly, you did the deed and took the benefits, so how can you wipe your mouth and deny it?

It's one thing to deny it to others, but you're even cheating a hardworking employee as honest as me. Do you have a conscience?

"......" A flash of speechlessness crossed Cheng Shi's eyes. He sighed, feeling that he probably wouldn't get anything out of today.

【Deception】 also felt that the time for the audience was about up. They chuckled, preparing to end this fairly satisfactory audience, but just then, Cheng Shi asked again:

"My benefactor, what should I do?"

This wasn't the first time he had asked this question. He had asked it before when the ice was broken between man and god, but at that time he was teased by 【Deception】.

However, Cheng Shi still wanted to know what he could do for this benefactor who was as fearful as he was. Everything that happened today clearly had a pusher, and this pusher was 100% the benefactor before him. So since the other party had a plan, why not reveal some of it so that he, a worker, could find the right direction and improve efficiency?

This was a question Cheng Shi had always been confused about. Facing this question again, 【Deception】 finally didn't tease him anymore, but they still responded with a lack of interest:

"The legs are on your body, and the path is walked by yourself. Why do you always come to ask me what to do? I don't know."

"Fine, even if you don't know, you must have a general direction. How to stay away from fear, how to achieve what you want, even if there is no specific plan, you must have had some thought.

Tell this thought to your most pious follower, and he might be able to do...... uh, do quite a few things for you.

Just like faith fusion, since 【Void】 dual faith can be fused separately on me, who is your next fusion target?

Do you need me to go and make contact in advance?"

Actually, Cheng Shi just wanted to ask this. He had long been calculating that there might be a third faith after the second, and had even sorted through all the 【Him】s who might bestow the third faith upon him. At this moment, as long as he got an affirmative answer from the God of Fun, he would not only be able to play one version more than others, but even be one step ahead in both versions!

And this was also one of his true goals!

He wasn't just acting hard for his "respected" benefactor; he was also expressing piety while seizing benefits suitable for himself.

This kind of rhetoric might have fooled others, but before Cheng Shi was 【Deception】, the god who understood lies and appearances best in the universe. They saw through Cheng Shi's thoughts at a glance, but didn't expose him, instead giggling as usual:

"Greed for merit and rash advancement is not advisable. This is the wisdom passed down through your human history for thousands of years.

I said, the legs are on your body, how you walk is your business."

"But your guidance can make me walk faster and more accurately."

"Guidance is useful, but closeness after guidance is not 'closeness', but 'approach'.

As a liar, you must be clear that when your purpose is too obvious, the orientation is too clear, the emotions are too full, and the mind is too eager, you cannot deceive people.

If you can't even deceive people, how can you deceive...... Them?"

【Deception】's words exploded like thunder in Cheng Shi's ears, deafening.

He suddenly understood what it meant to walk the path himself. It wasn't that They didn't want to guide him, but that after 【Deception】's guidance, his so-called closeness would have a purpose, thereby letting those They who were being approached smell the scent of 【Deception】 on him!

In other words, They could only be behind the scenes and could not come to the front, and the one standing in the front would always be him, the clown!

So that's how it was, but......

Cheng Shi's face stiffened immediately. But my benefactor, don't you think such a performance is very much like 【Deception】's clown acting out 【Fate】's script?

The path ahead is uncertain, the process is mysterious, and even the destination is unknown. Perhaps only at the moment the final chapter is unveiled will the clown and the audience know what the ending of this script is......

Isn't this 【Fate】!?

No, did you cross frequencies?

Those eyes seemed to see Cheng Shi's bewilderment, and they sneered:

"Is it very familiar? It's familiar for a reason.

Otherwise, why would I sign that 【Void】 agreement with Him? I just wanted to let the clown walk more smoothly.

Walking the path of 【Fate】 with the identity of 【Deception】, this is the true 【Void】.

When you don't need to consider so much, just focus on your feet. Being high-minded but low-skilled makes it easy to sprain your ankle.

If you want to see further, unless......"

Those eyes turned around, and the corners of the eyes tilted higher.

"Unless the fear in your heart is more than mine.

Alright, today's audience was very unpleasant. Hmm, get lost quickly."

As they spoke, those eyes, regardless of Cheng Shi's reaction, blinked lightly and blew a wild wind of nothingness, blowing Cheng Shi out of the void.

When the bewildered Cheng Shi opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the trial, and beside him were the frowning Long Wang and the Big Cat with rolling eyes.

"Back?" Cheng Shi blinked, touched his arm, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the real touch.

Looks like he's back.

The Long Wang and Xiang Honglin looked at him in unison. Xiang Honglin couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked directly: "Li Long Wang said 【Fate】 summoned you again. Is it true?"

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and looked at the Long Wang, only to see the other party look back and smile slightly.

The Long Wang is righteous, actually helping him hide it from the Big Cat, not mentioning 【Deception】 at all. It seems this clown also has a sense of belonging!

The Big Cat is the same, she's become smarter, actually knowing not to mention the word "benefactor" to cover up her faith fusion.

It seems everyone is growing, but you guys aren't growing as fast as me.

Cheng Shi smiled slightly, nodding first and then shaking his head:

"The matter is complicated, but it has nothing to do with this trial. Remember, no matter what you remember, don't guess randomly or spread it before comparing memories with me.

【Order】...... indeed has some problems, but they aren't too big."

"?" Xiang Honglin was puzzled, and the Long Wang was thoughtful.

Just when Cheng Shi wanted to explain something more, the dreaming Kyn Laoer and the unconscious Du Xiguang woke up at the same time.

They heard Cheng Shi's words and slowly turned their heads to look at this person who blasphemed 【Order】.

Kyn Laoer was still bearing the influence of 【Chaos】. He argued weakly: "The great 【Order】 will never have any problems. It must be that the Grand Court of Judgment has problems."

And his teacher Du Xiguang was disappointed: "Sure enough, I knew He was no longer Him...... then who...... are you?"

"Us?" Cheng Shi smiled and snapped his fingers at Kyn Laoer, "We are the people who came to help you find 【Order】 again."

Heading off to the Tomato Creator Conference today, probably for 2-3 days. Everyone can rest assured that I brought my computer and will update as usual.

I'll probably post some records and behind-the-scenes on dy. Those interested can follow~

Slipping away!
