The Fool of the Gods

There is no free lunch in the world. This sentence was taught to Cheng Shi by Lao Jia.

So when such a "good thing" hit him, Cheng Shi had instinctively entered a fraud prevention posture and began to think about what the [Prosperity] in front of him was cheating.

His tone was not hypocritical, and it could even be said to be full of sincerity, but Cheng Shi knew that the more sincere it was, the more likely it was a scam.

Because the scene of the big cat being fooled by him was still vivid in his mind, he himself was the liar who was best at using sincerity to deceive people!

So Cheng Shi began to ponder and speculate. All the impressions about [Prosperity] emerged in his mind, and he began to connect all the information in an attempt to figure out what He meant.

The first thing that came to mind was Hong Lin's attitude towards [Prosperity].

She never believed in [Prosperity] and even secretly guarded against [Prosperity], because she said that her every move, thought and thought were contrary to the will of [Prosperity] to promote the prosperity of the universe. Her prosperity was selfish prosperity, a prosperity that plundered others, while the will of [Prosperity] was selfless prosperity.

But even so, [Prosperity] will still give her extra points in every trial.

This is what Cheng Shi finds the strangest, because he can vaguely feel that when [Gods] give extra points to their believers in the trial, it must not be done randomly. These points should be their affirmation of their believers spreading their beliefs or practicing their will in the trial.

Okay, for the sake of rigor, [Chaos] does not count.

But since Hong Lin is still appreciated by [Prosperity] despite being so far away from the will of [Prosperity], there must be something wrong with the logic.

But [Prosperity] is not [Chaos] after all, He should not add or subtract points without any rules, so the problem is definitely not with Him. In this case, there is only one possibility:

It is the players' logic that is wrong.

But Cheng Shi really thinks that there are still many players in this game who perfectly practice His will and are also being given extra points, so perhaps there is nothing wrong with the players practicing the will of [Prosperity], but is there a possibility that all players have misunderstood the will of [Prosperity]?

His will to promote the prosperity of the universe is only part of it, and the other part is the prosperity of the self?

Or to put it in a more terrifying way, the prosperity of the universe is only the appearance, and the prosperity of the self is the real will!

After all, when He is sufficiently [prosperous], even when He includes [decay] and even everything like today, isn't His will the most perfect practice?

The prosperity of the universe! When the universe is [prosperous], or when there is only [prosperity], isn't everything in this world His will?

When thinking of this, Cheng Shi's cold sweat soaked his back.

Damn, this is not an invitation to share power with me, this is clearly treating me as fertilizer!

He wants to eat me!

Oh my god, help!

Cheng Shi was silent for too long, so long that the gentle breeze around him had gradually died down. Feeling the increasingly heavy sense of oppression, he was panicked.

No, sitting and waiting for death will only lead to bad results, you can only be treated as good results, you have to take the initiative, take action!

Cheng Shi, you have to save yourself!

His mind raced, and he realized that he probably couldn't deceive the god in front of him who could see through the changes in vitality, so he very "pragmatically" pinched the dice in his hand and decided to ask for help before refusing.

He pretended to be at a loss and lowered his head, whispering:

"Lies are like yesterday, sneers today!

Help, Lord, help!"

But what he never expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, a pair of eyes painted with spirals and stars opened above the sea of ​​treetops!

The branches of the giant tree shook violently, and countless flesh and blood returned to the state of the giant tree. Then the giant tree itself gradually faded, and the vigorous life of the entire space burst out, turning into a group of emerald green mists, rising and condensing into a pair of bright green eyes, looking at the eyes in the sky that were looking at this coldly.

"【Destiny】, why are you here?"

?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. He never thought that the one who came was his other benefactor, 【Destiny】!

No, didn't I recite it as if it was yesterday? How come...

Cheng Shi paused and looked at the dice in his hand.

The dice of destiny.

He remembered that his prayers would never be told by the 【Deceit】 prophet, but all by 【Destiny】.

So when He heard his call for help, He came directly?

Even though he was still a clown, a clown who had not cut back to the 【Destiny】 path, He came directly?

Ah?

Thinking back to the words "It's as if it was yesterday" that he had said, Cheng Shi hated it.I slapped myself in the face.

I retracted all my prejudices against fate. I deserved to die!

At this moment, the eyes painted with spirals and stars first glanced at Cheng Shi who was intact, and then looked at [Prosperity] without joy or sadness, and said in an extremely cold voice:

"[Prosperity], you still haven't given up your delusion. Assimilating [Decay] through the grafting of faith is against the [Convention] and even more inconsistent with [Fate].

I saw the fate that was about to be tampered with, so I came to correct it."

"Oh? Really?" The green mist of vitality became thicker and thicker, almost covering the entire space, wrapping [Fate] tightly in it, "If the fluctuations of fate are all marked with the mark of tampering, then will the authority of [Change] that you hold be meaningless?"

As soon as these words came out, the spiral stopped and the stars flashed wildly.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

"【Destiny】 is the one who likes to joke the most, isn't it?"

"Stubborn."

【Prosperity】 laughed, elegantly and exaggeratedly.

"Stubborn?

No, no, no, it is indeed me who is obsessed, but you are the ones who are ignorant!

Your human relative said something very right, I will slightly change it to advise you.

If all the lives in the universe attribute their misfortunes to 【Destiny】, then 【Destiny】 is also a kind of unfortunate 【Prosperity】!

So 【Destiny】... put aside your prejudices and coexist with me."

?

"Boom——"

Before Cheng Shi, who was stunned, could react to what he had just heard, a loud bang in the void directly knocked him off the treetops, and he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself leaning beside Hong Lin's legs, and Hong Lin was sweating and his back was tense.

Seeing the warlike God's Chosen so nervous, he was afraid that something might happen. But he looked around and didn't seem to find anything unusual, so he tried to get up.

But as soon as he raised his head, Hong Lin pressed him back with one hand. Then he saw the other party shook his head stiffly and glanced at the sky.

Cheng Shi looked up in surprise, following Hong Lin's gaze, and then saw pairs of [Eyes of the Gods] opened above the endless treetops!

These eyes with different wills and different auras swept the Sighing Forest eroded by [Prosperity] with absolute oppression, and then looked up at the treetops.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi felt that his brain was like a thunder plowing and roaring, and the whole person was shocked and stiff on the spot.

[They]... seemed to have descended together.

"Fuck..."

...
