A familiar face in the Fire-Keeping Hall

Whether it was the Dragon King or Qin Xin, it was actually very simple to allow them to ascend to the Divine Throne, because they had the approval of the gods and met the rules of the [Covenant] Emissary the succession of the Divine Throne.

One only needs to seek an audience with Justice) at the appropriate time and ask them to Naming divine authority.

What's rare is that Nangong, Mortals who is currently serving as Vessel in the God Creation Plan and wants to gain the right of succession... Her and Li Wufang's ascension to the Cheng Shi holds enough voting power.

But it won't be long; the voting power that Cheng Shi can mobilize will soon exceed half the number of gods.

[Death], [Silence], and [Time] are already strongholds for the Fear Faction. Now, with the addition of [Chaos], [Memory], and [War], even if [Nothingness] doesn't appear, Cheng Shi already has six votes in his hands.

The vote for [Prosperity] rests with [Destiny], and the vote for [Truth] rests with [Deception]. These two votes may not be within reach for the time being, but among the remaining few, there is still no shortage of opportunities.

[Birth] While participation is key, the connection of Eternal Day might allow one to secure a vote at crucial moments; [Decay] is still present, and with past relationships, without affecting its own Decay, one might also be able to gain a vote.

[Annihilation] What a pity, a perfectly good vote has been shelved;

As for [Folly]...

Never mind.

After all that Mouth Brother of [Folly], expecting [Folly] to silently admit his Foolish Deed and join in Foolish Deed. Let's think of another way to get the remaining votes.

Cheng Shi sighed helplessly, muttering "Folly, Folly..." Although his voice was very soft, Qin Xin still heard him clearly.

He frowned, looking at Cheng Shi expression, and said:

What's wrong with [Folly]?

Cheng Shi wanted to say, "It's nothing, just a casual thought," but seeing Qin Xin's serious expression, he was immediately taken aback and asked in return:

What's wrong with [Folly]?

He realized that Qin Xin seemed to have also encountered a problem related to [Folly].

At this point in the confrontation, everyone was already united in purpose, so Qin Xin could no longer use the secret of the Fire Keeper to fob off Cheng Shi. Therefore, he brought up his problem of [Folly].

"[Folly] is nothing, but His Believer have arrived."

"?"

Cheng Shi immediately thought of Sun Miao. Come to think of it, this Eye of Deconstruction was actually a "spy" he had "planted" among the Fire Keeper. Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's expression turned somewhat strange. "Isn't his arrival normal? Is there a problem?"

"Normal?" Qin Xin shook his head and sighed. "I can't see what's normal about it. There are too many problems. Putting aside how he got here, the most crucial thing is, how am I supposed to get him to keep the existence of the Fire Keeper a secret?"

"???"

Cheng Shi stunned, but quickly realized that the "[Folly]" Believer Qin Xin was referring to could not be Sun Miao; he must be...

"Wei Mu!?"

Qin Xin was taken aback. "Otherwise, who do you think would give someone such a headache? Some kind of Jie Shu?"

"..."

To be honest, the Jie Shu method is quite a headache.

Upon hearing that Wei Mu had come to the Fire-Keeping Hall on his own, Cheng Shi was somewhat shocked. "He's here now?"

"Yes, what a coincidence! Shortly before you arrived, he came here uninvited."

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, this Little Puppet might have run right into the Hope's Flame.

Fortunately, he didn't expect that I was strong enough to trap him, otherwise we might not be meeting now.

"You arrested him?"

"His freedom is only temporarily restricted. I can tell he probably doesn't want to leave in a hurry, so we'll wait until we're done with our work..."

"No need to wait!"

Before Qin Xin finish speaking, Cheng Shi patted Qin Xin on the shoulder and said happily, "That's exactly what I wanted to do. I'd like to ask this top-ranked Top Rank on the Path to Godhood what his opinion is on the end of this [Nothingness] era."

Come, take me to see him.

Qin Xin choked, glancing at Cheng Shi and then at the Hope's Flame. Suddenly, he smiled with relief and joked, "It seems the world has indeed lost its direction for the future."

Cheng Shi shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this:

No, the future lies beneath our feet, and the path we forge is the future of the world.

However, we must be extremely cautious before taking that first step.

The Cosmos won't give us another chance to start over.

Like the Fire Keeper, every external force that can be relied upon must be utilized; only in this way can a path to light be found in absolute darkness.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Candlelight Person slumped onto Cheng Shi's shoulder, pressed against his face, and whispered:

"That's strange. Why do I feel that your aura of the Passing the Flame is stronger than anyone else's today? You seem more like the leader of the Fire Keeper?"

Didn't you refuse to get close to the Fire Keeper? Was it the Fire Keeper's Unyielding amidst the False Curtain Call that inspired you?

Are you still Cheng Shi?

Should I call you... Qin Shi?

"..."

"..."

Qin Xin was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. Cheng Shi rolled his eyes in disgust and pushed Qin Xin forward.

He did not deny the idea of Hope's Flame, but silently thought to himself:

When I face Despair, even if I can't see any hope, I still hope that a glimmer of light can shine in other places where darkness has descended.

This is the lesson I learned from the end of that false era, and it is also the continuation of our Unyielding will in the True Universe.

The three "gods" quickly arrived at the place where Wei Mu was "imprisoned." Looking at the Little Puppet restrained in Qin Xin's room, Cheng Shi knew that this was just a means for Wei Mu to scout ahead. Wei Mu's true body was not here at all, and Qin Xin had no intention of truly imprisoning him.

When the strongest force and the most intelligent mind meet, they give each other a little leeway.

After all, no one could guarantee what the consequences of angering Wei Mu would be. Even though Qin Xin had inherited the Divine Authority over [War] was not [Folly]...

It's too difficult to outwit Wei Mu intellectually.

This game isn't just about brute force; otherwise, it wouldn't be called "[War], "[War] but rather "The Origin."

The Little Puppet was slightly taken aback when he saw the three people appear. He quickly jumped onto the table and bowed to them, saying:

"I, Wei Mu, a humble mortal, a foolish observer of the world, and the one who unveils the curtain, greet the three... Emissary envoys."

This sounds familiar.

The last time I heard Wei Mu introduce himself so solemnly was at the Divine Nurturing Church in Dolgo D, but why has the one who holds the curtain up become the one who unveils it...? What exactly does this [Folly] Wise One know?

Cheng Shi was very curious, but before asking his question, he thought he needed to slightly deflate the other party's momentum.

If a Mortals can be so confident facing three Emissary, then the entire pace of the ensuing exchange must be in Wei Mu's hands, right?

Cheng Shi chuckled and said, "How can you be sure that the people in front of you are three Emissary?"

After a moment's thought, Wei Mu answered fluently:

"Your identity needs no further explanation. I truly did not expect you to be the successor to [War]. However, based on my understanding of [War], remaining silent should earn His appreciation."

As for this one...

Wei Mu looked at the Hope's Flame and analyzed, "[War] is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Before that, there must be some deity to protect this place, and the life that can travel alongside the two of you to this place... I think it must be the guardian of this place."

The Puppet turned its head to look at the Candlelight Person hanging upside down, and asked curiously, "I sense a Nothingness and ethereal power emanating from you, unlike any other deity in power. Therefore, you must be the Emissary of [Destiny]?"

A 'rebel' who chose a completely different path from the current [Destiny]?

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three gods looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

How do you play this?

He's openly advertising it, how are you going to compete?

Cheng Shi was speechless, but he still found a flaw in Wei Mu's answer.

"You're wrong. The Fire Keeper is not the Hope's Flame, but the God of Merriment!"

"[Deception]!?"

Wei Mu was startled, then nodded thoughtfully, saying, "That makes sense. So He really is dragging [Destiny] down a path that deviates from [Destiny]..."

"..."

You can never defeat a wise and studious Wise One.

Or rather, you can never defeat a cheater who has no weaknesses.

Cheng Shi's words not only failed to silence Wei Mu, but actually allowed Wei Mu to "calculate" even more.

Seeing the Puppet lost in thought, Cheng Shi gave up.

Don't try to challenge authority in areas you're not good at. Instead of constantly arguing, it's better to join in early on.

So Cheng Shi cleared his throat and asked sincerely:

"Wise One, shall we put it up for sale?"
