A sliver of 【Prosperity】’s 【Divinity】 is sealed within me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divinity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that word, everyone’s expressions turned solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The term is “common,” yet rarely “seen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 【Faith Game】, every segmented player roughly knows what 【Divinity】 is, but if asked to define it precisely, 99% of mid- and low-tier players couldn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone having seen it with their own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only know it’s awesome—how awesome? Who cares!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s more or less the gist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only players above 2000 points, at least those who’ve unlocked an S-rank talent, have barely begun to grasp the concept of 【Divinity】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around 2400 points, players with SS-rank talents have mostly pierced through the hazy veil and glimpsed its true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the most mysterious and arcane entity in the 【Faith Game】, representing both condensed faith and supreme power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a player’s perspective, measured by talent strength, a single piece of 【Divinity】 equates to an S-rank Faith talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An SS-rank Faith talent, meanwhile, means ten pieces of 【Divinity】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what’s called an SSS-rank semi-artifact...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relics of the Demi-God have transcended measurement by “pieces.” If you must explain it, it can be equivalent to one piece—or ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the 【Divinity】 within a Demi-God relic isn’t scattered fragments, but a 【Divinity】 already solidified along a confirmed path to godhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think of it as building blocks: this kind of 【Divinity】 is like carefully disassembling a complete finished product into countless pieces, each capable of reconstructing the 【God】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scattered 【Divinity】, by contrast, are fragments never assembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arise from humble faith, erupt from mysterious voids, or are merely trivial trinkets bestowed by the 【Gods】 upon their followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet undeniably, regardless of origin, they remain the foundational stones for “assembling” a 【God】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if players have no method to assemble them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yi was clearly knowledgeable—he suddenly widened his eyes, stunned and urgently asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are they scattered fragments, or disassembled puzzle pieces!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the 【Prosperity】 divine seat still exists, fragments of “Him” still circulate in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because every 【God】 possesses more than one “finished product”—their 【Divinity】 has always been redundant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi was surprised by Su Yi’s reaction. He squinted, thought for a moment, then replied with depth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scattered fragments—but... the quantity is immense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did they come from?” Su Yi involuntarily leaned closer to Cheng Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi stepped back half a pace, scanning this colleague who’d lost his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems, deeply concerned about 【Divinity】?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he be from that organization?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only they would care so intensely about 【Divinity】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case, then perhaps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi smiled faintly and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During a long-ago trial, I encountered a player who joined the Rationality Association—he was obsessed with 【Divinity】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that trial, we accidentally stumbled upon a vast quantity of scattered 【Prosperity】 【Divinity】. To test his theory, he turned the other five of us into his test subjects:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sealed a sliver of it inside each of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But possessing 【Divinity】 isn’t always beneficial—ordinary people simply can’t digest it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take me, for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suppose you’ve noticed: as a 【Fertility】 priest, I’ve never succeeded in making anyone pregnant...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s because the 【Prosperity】 【Divinity】 inside me constantly erodes my 【Fertility】 power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Cheng Shi turned to look at Cui Qiushi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cui Lao, we’re actually the same kind of person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group fell silent again, struggling to imagine that a brief respite during the trial had become a players’ grievance session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder...” Cui Qiushi suddenly understood. “Only His 【Divinity】 could block His curse...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded in agreement, yet Su Yi’s gaze still held doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All five of you together couldn’t resist him alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi sighed helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was too strong—he was already a devotee of 【Prosperity】. In His domain, we had no chance to resist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yi frowned and pressed again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What was his name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He never revealed his real name, but his ID was BaldyUsesPert.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the name, Tao Yi gasped and covered her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to her; she nodded, stunned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saw that ID on the Ascension Ladder—he was a former 【Prosperity】 Chosen One. His score only dropped a few days ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting a 【Chosen One】? That’s suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to lie down quietly and let him do whatever he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wasn’t a 【Chosen One】 at the time, reaching that position meant he’d always been strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi sensed Su Yi’s hidden identity and his underlying suspicion. He knew that unless he did something now, his earlier lie would collapse entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh. One small accident requires endless lies to cover up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying is hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi wasn’t tired—he just thought this colleague was damn hard to fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he extended his hand, adorned with a ring, and subtly activated a trace of Lele’er’s aura using his 【Deception】 power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though He had become the Fear Mother Tree beneath the earth, His identity remained the daughter of the 【Mother of Prosperity】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, this 【Prosperity】 aura, tainted with mixed undertones, was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Yi sensed that ancient 【Prosperity】 energy, he finally believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi’s body indeed contained a vast quantity of scattered 【Divinity】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flared with intensity for an instant, then he lowered his gaze, expressing sorrow for Cheng Shi’s plight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Everyone has misfortune. If we keep talking, we’ll still be speaking when tomorrow arrives—we won’t finish in six hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest and recover quickly. Only three hours remain until the first day ends. We need food to replenish energy, and the healer needs rest to restore her Qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded, finding spots on the bamboo raft to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi kindly cast his healing spell again—this time, he no longer needed to hide his inability to cause pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One solution, permanent fix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone sat quietly, eyes closed, resting, Cui Qiushi silently shifted position and moved beside Cheng Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted with inner struggle, his expression hesitant again and again—he seemed to wrestle with something for a long time, then finally clenched his fist as if making a decision. With a flushed, embarrassed expression, he whispered to Cheng Shi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Cheng, if... I mean, if it’s even possible to extract this 【Prosperity】 【Divinity】 from your body, could you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi understood what Cui Qiushi was thinking. He sighed helplessly, yet nodded generously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it can be extracted, Cui Lao, take it all. To me, these things are utterly meaningless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Qiushi froze. He hadn’t expected Cheng Shi to agree so readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this game, 【Divinity】 means power. Possessing 【Divinity】 means a player can go farther, live longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether 【Divinity】 is a burden to Cheng Shi now, its importance cannot be denied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this might just be empty words—Cheng Shi knows 【Divinity】 can’t be extracted. But the fact he said it proves one thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not a bad person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least not a bad person who won’t even bother a dying old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, Xiao Cheng, I already owe you my life. Those are yours—I dare not ask for much. I only want a little, just enough to keep this old man’s life hanging on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi had no reply—only a forced smile and a soft “Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s eyes instantly reddened. He gripped Cheng Shi’s hand tightly, his voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you... Xiao Cheng, thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shi looked at Cui Dingtian’s reddened eyes, his heart churning with mixed emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck, I’m such a bastard!\u003C\u002Fp>",1297,"2026-06-21T06:05:06.137Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","020ddefc0ba818d8e5d495ffd21b393cd6afb135db6d7c866bf0b4869d79b781","the-gods-foolish-game-chapter-80","the-gods-foolish-game-chapter-78",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-gods-foolish-game-cover.jpg"]
