The Fool of the Gods

"What did you say?"

Hong Lin seemed to have recovered a little. With only [Death] by her side, she finally turned back into the outspoken druid.

She looked back at Cheng Shi in disbelief and confirmed with him again:

"You said, [Prosperity] killed itself?"

Even if this scene was absurd, bizarre, and unbelievable, Cheng Shi had to nod his head, because [Prosperity] did fall.

"Why?

It can't be that he was unwilling to be trapped and died to show his determination?

It's impossible, [They]... They are omnipotent [They], what is He trying to do?"

What is He trying to do?

Cheng Shi also couldn't understand, but he thought of a possibility, so he said with admiration:

"Maybe, it's to die to show one's will."

As soon as the voice fell, the huge skull on the bone seat slowly turned its head to look at Cheng Shi, the green flame of pity in his eyes slowly extinguished, and then he said with more emotion than Cheng Shi:

"No wonder He would invite you, a human, to coexist with Him.

You really fit His will.

His [Final Decree] is to divide all authority equally and leave it to the gods.

[Covenant] has already carried out this decree."

As he spoke, the skull gently opened its mouth and spit out a flawless young sprout from its empty mouth.

Cheng Shi was shocked to feel the divine power surging from this sprout.

"This is..."

"The authority of "Prosperity".

He always spreads this power under the "Divine Shadow", so that His people will not get sick.

But...

I hold the name of the God of Death, and I don't need this authority."

Cheng Shi suddenly realized, he blinked quickly, and suddenly laughed.

"My Lord, please forgive me for my presumption. I think even if you don't need it, you should... not return the authority that is delivered to your door, right?"

The huge skull was not angry because of Cheng Shi's disrespect, he nodded quietly.

"Yes, this is the final practice of the Mother of Prosperity for her own will.

She gave 'growth' to 'birth', 'immaculateness' to me, 'assimilation' to 'corruption', and 'abundance' to 'truth'...

In short, all gods, because of her fall, received the gift of power.

But..."

"But it's completely useless!" Cheng Shi laughed so hard that his chin kept hitting the bone stairs.

He just felt that this drama of the gods was so wonderful that it made people unconsciously admire it!

[Death] hummed lightly and said nothing more, but Hong Lin's eyes were full of confusion. She looked at Cheng Shi and asked in confusion:

"Why is it like this? He used his own fall just to disgust the gods?"

"Disgusting? No, no, no!" Cheng Shi laughed, and he laughed even louder, "I think, maybe He never cared about the gods' thoughts, He always cared about Himself.

Especially the will of the prosperity of the universe that He advocated!

Look, when all [Gods] have received His gifts, when each [Him] has integrated the authority of [Prosperity], when all the supreme beings in this universe are prosperous, then the prosperity of the universe...

Will it be far away?"

"..."

[Gods]'s understanding of authority obviously exceeded Hong Lin's cognition. It's not her fault. After all, she is just a human being and she knows too little about them.

But Cheng Shi's understanding of the power of the gods obviously exceeded Hong Lin's cognition. She was a little confused because she clearly felt a vague meaning from Cheng Shi's words, which was:

He died, but he seemed not dead.

Hong Lin, who was extremely confused, frowned and asked another question:

"Then... why didn't they refuse?"

But as soon as this question came out, she stopped talking.

Reject?

Who would refuse?

The current situation of the [Gods] is to seize each other's power in the loopholes of the [Covenant]. When the ownerless [power] is delivered to their mouths, it would be fine if they don't take a bite in the direction it came from. Who would refuse?

This is [prosperity], this is the [prosperity] that preaches "coexistence with me" everywhere!

He is even willing to die to practice his own will.

Too terrible, too terrifying.

Is it only his own faith and will that can make a high and mighty [Him] give up everything to pursue?

What are they, or the [covenant] made by [the gods], pursuing?

Cheng Shi dared not ask this question., he knew that he was too insignificant. When he had no power to protect himself, it was better not to know some things. After all, the favor of the gods would not always be bestowed on him. The more he knew, the faster he would die.

So, the scene fell silent again.

Cheng Shi was silently thinking whether all this was driven by Cheng Dashi, or the script of [Fate], or whether it was an accident from beginning to end.

It was just that he threw a stone into the calm lake at the reminder of Cheng Dashi, but he did not expect it to be the last straw that broke the camel's back and pierced the fragile lake bottom.

Hong Lin was more entangled. Although she did not worship [Prosperity], after learning that her only benefactor had fallen, she kept thinking in her mind, where should these [Prosperity] players go?

【Death】 saw her doubt and said silently:

“Power is only transferred, not disappeared.

You are no different from usual except that you cannot be summoned by Him again.

Trials and blessings will be performed by 【Covenant】, but...

He has the power to reward believers in trials, but I don’t know to whom he will give it.”

As soon as the huge skull finished speaking, a pair of eyes painted with spirals and stars opened in the sky of the Fishbone Hall.

The extremely cold eyes glanced at everything in the hall and pushed a contract emitting the light of 【Order】 in front of Hong Lin.

When Cheng Shi saw that it was his benefactor, he immediately jumped forward two steps and praised loudly:

“Praise the greatest 【Destiny】 in the world!”

The cold eyes did not respond, he just blinked without joy or sadness, and then threw this flattering believer into another void.

After Cheng Shi disappeared, He looked at the shocked Hong Lin and spoke indifferently.

"I feel your devotion to fate, and I have seen your confusion about the future, so I came here to guide you.

Hong Lin, are you willing to step into [Nothingness] and walk on the path of [Fate] at the same time, and become my follower?"

Hong Lin was stunned for only a second, and then nodded firmly:

"I am willing, but...please forgive me for being presumptuous, I am a little confused."

The cold eyes spiraled back and forth, and He looked at the player who was about to become his follower in front of him, and his tone was still cold.

"Speak."

"Since my grace... Since [Prosperity] has fallen, will I change from a druid to a warrior today?"

"Although [Prosperity] has fallen, the road to [Prosperity] is still there, but there is no [Him] on the throne at the end. You can still continue to walk on His path to explore the end of faith.

I will give you the dice of fate. When you pick it up, you will walk on the road of [Prosperity] and in the destiny of [Fate].

[Justice (Order)] recognizes your identity. As the eldest daughter of [Mother of Prosperity], Furadol, you still have the right to inherit [Prosperity].

But [Prosperity] no longer has the authority, so you cannot ascend to His throne.

However, [Justice (Order)] still has the right to inherit [Prosperity] for the sake of justice. The necessary power recognized by the [Covenant] is reserved for His descendants.

This power will be divided into two, [Truth] takes away the voting power of the [Covenant of Gods], and what is left for you is...

The power to reward [Prosperity] believers in the trial.

Sign this contract, and the power of the descendants of [Prosperity] will be recognized by the [Covenant], and you will truly become the [Life] slave god, His messenger, His eldest daughter, Frodol.

A [Prosperity] heir with no authority and no [Covenant] voting rights. "

"......" Hong Lin's brain exploded again. She wanted to gesture anxiously, but found that she had no hands or feet at all. She looked at the huge skull beside her with a begging face, hoping that this adult could explain it like before, but the huge skull did not say a word.

Helplessly, she had to look up at those eyes and asked dryly: "Then am I still me?"

"Sign the contract, and know the future."

Oh, I understand, I have no choice.

So Hong Lin gritted her teeth and jumped to the contract. She was about to ask a skull without hands and feet how to sign a contract with God, but she found that her will appeared on the contract in a completely incomprehensible text.

When the contract was signed, the light of [Order] gradually disappeared, and the contract turned into countless stars and scattered throughout the universe.

At the same time, a 24-sided dice of fate quietly appeared beside her.

"The contract is done, the identity is determined, leave."

After saying that, he blinked and sent Hong Lin out of the void.

The huge skull looked up at the pair ofWith cold eyes, he said in a complicated tone:

"【Destiny】, it is always changing."

After saying that, the entire fish bone palace disappeared with a bang, leaving only the pair of confused eyes looking at the mess in the void, the eyes became deeper and deeper, probably no one will ever know what he is thinking.
