Chapter 93: Trial Cleared
Trial Cleared
When Cheng Shi opened his eyes again, he saw Su Yi Da's figure again.
This chatterbox Su Yi Da was enthusiastically licking Tao Yi's side, but looking at Tao Yi's expression, the effect didn't seem very good.
Gao Yu, who was sitting on the side, discovered Cheng Shi wake up for the first time. He saw the doubt between Cheng Shi's brows, so he whispered:
"You're finally awake, the trial has ended.
But this trial was a bit different; it didn't teleport us out directly, but sent us to this strange place.
The space is unsealed, the quilt covering you... is Tao Yi's.
How do you feel?"
Cheng Shi nodded weakly without speaking. His hand under the quilt secretly touched the ring; it was still there.
"You were seriously injured. When we found you, you almost had no breath.
What happened outside?
When Cui Lao and I came out, we felt the rich power of 【Time】."
Cheng Shi glanced at Su Yi Da from the corner of his eye and shook his head with a pale face.
"Don't know, only saw a burst of colorful light, and then fainted."
"Colorful light?
Alright, Su Yi Da doesn't remember either. He fainted further away, and his situation wasn't much better than yours.
We guessed that factors outside the trial affected the trial, causing us to find a loophole and luckily survive."
"Mm, maybe. Right, where is Cui Lao?"
"Left, left the trial."
"..."
Seeing Cheng Shi's surprised look, Gao Yu said with some emotion:
"I have never seen a person like Cui Lao. Don't you feel any changes in your body?"
Changes?
Cheng Shi introspected his state suspiciously, but the next second, the expression on his face froze.
【Divinity】!
【Prosperity】 Divinity!
His body was crudely stuffed full of 【Prosperity】 divinity!
"The previous change seemed to have stripped the 【Divinity】 out of your body. When we escaped from 【Time】, the entire ice field was full of the aura of dissipated 【Divinity】...
Cui Lao could have taken this 【Divinity】 and left, but he...
Tied me and Tao Yi up and stuffed this 【Divinity】 back into your body.
It's just that the method might be a bit rough, completely different from your previous sealing."
"..."
Cheng Shi was stunned, his mind blank for a moment, not knowing what to say.
He had set up a plan to get real 【Divinity】 for Cui Lao, but the old man had returned this 【Divinity】 back.
Even in the process, he tied up Gao Yu and Tao Yi.
He clearly knew that human nature is complex, yet he still did it.
Cheng Shi's shocked gaze swept over Su Yi Da, seeing that although he was faking a smile, the gloom in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Now, he was probably guessing that all this was his own means.
Also, who would risk their life to earn benefits for others?
But if it were for himself... it would be much more reasonable.
Su Yi Da felt a slight lingering fear in his heart at Cheng Shi's calculating nature.
But Cheng Shi didn't know all these thoughts, nor did he want to know. He just felt that Cui Lao...
Cui Dingtian, worthy of the name "Dingtian" (holding up the sky).
Just as Cheng Shi was immersed in the shock, Tao Yi discovered the anomaly here and happily pulled herself away from Su Yi Da's enthusiastic offensive.
Su Yi Da glanced at Cheng Shi sideways and didn't follow.
"How do you feel?
Cui Lao's method was too rough, I reorganized the... that in your body again.
Mm, I always feel that saying this kind of thing out loud is a bit scary."
"Thank you."
Cheng Shi's thanks were very sincere.
To be honest, except for casting the Grave-Keeper talent on himself before fainting, he had no other backup plans.
If there really were more than two accidents during the time he was unconscious, it could be considered his own fault.
Although he did calculate that Cui Dingtian would protect him after seeing the 【Divinity】, he really didn't expect Cui Lao to actually...
"What are you thinking about? Are you very puzzled why Cui Lao left?
Hahaha, let me tell you, the old man was afraid that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to help but snatch what's in your body.
He... sigh, he's a good person."
Yeah, he's a good person.
"Thank you for still guarding me."
"I also want to thank you for saving us." Tao Yi said this sincerely, but didn't know which time she was referring to.
"Thank you."
Gao Yu's expression was clearly friendlier than before, but the subtle barrier could still be clearly felt.
The kid seemed to have changed his attitude toward him.
Is he afraid of him?
Did he see something?
Or did he see through one of his lies?
Forget it, don't think about it. The trial is over, why use your brain?
Cheng Shi struggled to get up and thanked Tao Yi and Gao Yu sincerely again, but his gaze skipped over Su Yi Da alone.
He hated being in the same space as an enemy he couldn't kill, especially when he had interest he had dug out from the enemy on his body.
However, just as Cheng Shi was about to exit the trial, his gaze was inexplicably attracted by a blade of grass not far away.
He saw a drop of dew gathering on the blade of grass, constantly drinking moisture and growing larger.
The dew became heavier and heavier, the blade of grass couldn't bear the weight and was finally bent, and the crystal dew jumped off the leaf vein reluctantly and fell toward the ground.
Then, the dew splashed on the frost-covered ground, and before long, it gradually froze and became part of the light frost.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi suddenly laughed.
Gao Yu followed his gaze and saw nothing, so he asked suspiciously:
"What are you looking at?"
"I am looking at... the annihilation of a world."
"?"
Gao Yu felt he was inexplicable. "Why don't you treat yourself first? Is it because your brain... after stripping the 【Divinity】..."
But before he could finish, Cheng Shi suddenly disappeared.
He left.
Without much farewell, he took the initiative to exit the trial.
At the moment before leaving, he suddenly understood one thing.
It turns out 【Annihilation】 is not just annihilation.
Perhaps in this world, offerings to Him are happening all the time.
He might be everywhere, and His power is far beyond his imagination.

【Trial Cleared, about to exit】
Cheng Shi's departure was too abrupt, so much so that Tao Yi and Gao Yu beside him couldn't react.
They thought that after experiencing life and death together, they could find another friend in this broken world, but they didn't expect Cheng Shi didn't seem to have this intention.
"This... is also quite good."
Gao Yu muttered to himself and also chose to leave.
Only the last two remained at the scene.
Su Yi Da saw Cheng Shi leave the trial alive, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and prepared to leave.
But just at this moment, Tao Yi turned back and smiled at him.
"That... I'm still very curious what happened outside after you pushed me into the tent. Can you tell me again?"
Ha?
Little sister, do you really think I'm a simp?
Su Yi Da had been acting for a long time and really didn't want to act anymore.
In a situation where there was no danger and only two people left, he didn't need to disguise himself as a lecher to hide his faith, nor did he need to play his original self to keep a low profile, so he smiled mockingly, looked at Tao Yi's whole body wantonly, and said coldly:
"While I haven't developed the intent to kill, get lost quickly, it's really bad luck."
Tao Yi wasn't surprised by Su Yi Da's reaction at all. The smile on her face didn't change at all, but became even brighter.
"In that case, I probably understand.
However, can I ask one more question?
Does Cheng Shi... know you are a master of trickery?" ===== CHAPTER 94 =====
