Praise the Great God of Deception
Cheng Shi made another deal with Xie Yang.
He took another corpse and settled the debt owed to him.
Now the two are even.
Cheng Shi first quickly relayed a message to the Great One on the Bone Throne, saying that he would soon offer enough Sacrifice.
Then he immediately picked up the Dice and began to contact his Lord of Grace.
When a major problem arises, the rivals start offering incentives.
My Lord of Grace, please answer the phone quickly! If you're any slower, I might succumb to the temptation of your sweet words!
As Cheng Shi shouted "Deception" at the Dice, he examined the exquisite ring crafted from "Memory".
Floating Dream of the Sea of Memory (SSS): A ring forged by [Memory] himself from Discarded Divine Artifact. It can witness [Existence] 3 times. After using any effect 3 times, the ring will no longer [Exist].
Special Effect [Sea Dream Foam]: You can activate the ring and start a timer. After the timer ends within 24 hours, all traces you left during the timer period will not become Memory for others.
Special Effect [Raging Tide]: When a Memory has been engraved in the Sea of Memories and become history, and you are in that history, you can activate the ring and reasonably change it. All traces left behind will become new history.
He stared at the ring, its light subdued, and clenched his lips tightly to keep from drooling.
This is a Demigod Artifact that can alter Memory, even history!
In other words, Cheng Shi, who has obtained the ring, now has three chances to become invisible, or three chances to change history!
Or, use it three times in any free permutation and combination!
[Deception] secretly altered a piece of history, [Memory] discovered it, and so He came after Him.
However, instead of being angry or punishing the person whose face was covered in graffiti, He gave him a... SSS Demigod Artifact.
This kind of recruitment, these kinds of methods, wouldn't make anyone shudder?
What have I done to deserve this...?
If you do not abandon me...
Ahem, no! Lü Shi! You must maintain your composure!
Cheng Shi's mind was in turmoil. Seeing that he hadn't managed to summon his Lord of Grace, he put down the Dice and began to ponder what had happened that he didn't know about, that would allow [Memory] to be so generous as to give such a perverted thing as himself, who held opposing Faith?
He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, only remembering what his Lord of Grace had said.
"In return, the [Memory] Chosen of God one who entered my Trials also had a hard time."
[Deception] punished [Memory], the Chosen of God; [Memory] rewarded the Believer of [Deception].
Comparing the two...
That's really...
I didn't say anything; I was just thinking casually.
To be fair, the methods used to [Memory] are really dirty.
If such dirty tricks are used again in the future, it will be troublesome...
Give me more!
I can handle it!
Cheng Shi chuckled self-deprecatingly and casually opened the Ladder of Audience rankings, which he hadn't accessed in a long time.
He wanted to see where the person who had just been chosen, "True Heart," was now.
Why is this Master of Trickery losing points so rapidly?
But the moment the leaderboard appeared before his eyes, Cheng Shi instantly understood why the [Memory] brought not anger, but goodwill...
No, my Lord of Grace, is this how you play the game?
Is this what they mean by "not having an easy time either"?
[The Ladder of Audience (Existence- Memory) / (Nothingness - Deception)]
1. Narrow-minded, brothers (Deception) 206
2. This Situation Can Wait (Memory) 203
3. Still Like in a Dream (Memory) 200
4. Look, the fun is here ↓ (Deception) 199
5. Li Jingming (Deception) 197
6. Look, fun! (Memory) 197
58. Ah, the two-surname slave Lü Jingming (Memory) 167
59. I Never Lie (Deception). 166
60. Anti-fraud vanguard (Deception) 166
61. True Heart (Deception) 164
"..."
So there really are people who changed their surname to Lü?
Cheng Shi suddenly understood!
Alright, alright, it has to be you, my Lord of Grace.
How did you come up with the idea of pulling the enemy's "Chosen of God" to your side?
Could you teach me?
Since witnessing your "Chosen of God" and your actions, I realize that my understanding of "Deception" is still somewhat lacking.
My imagination isn't big enough, my thinking isn't agile enough, and my logic isn't logically sound enough; I urgently need to improve.
No wonder [Memory] has set its sights on me. With things like this, how can He tolerate it?
My God, the biggest laugh of the century has arrived!
Come and see!
The Chosen of God of Memory has renounced his oath and become Believer in Deception!
Looking at this unbelievable ranking list, Cheng Shi quickly opened the chat channel.
As expected.
The Deception Faith Channel is in an uproar.
Countless messages flooded the screen, all saying the same thing:
"Welcome back to the Dragon King's throne!"
"Welcome back to the Dragon King's throne!"
"Welcome back to the Dragon King's throne!"
"..."
Cheng Shi scrolled up the chat history, and wow, there hadn't been any other messages in the Deception channel since the last Trials ended.
This group of lunatics kept posting the same sentence for a whole week!
Are you guys crazy?
Cheng Shi stared in disbelief, then quickly typed in the channel:
"Welcome back to the Dragon King's throne!"
Ah, that feels good.
The thought that there are so many others as crazy as me gives me a strange sense of belonging to a group.
Just Cheng Shi was watching the channel flooded with messages and laughing foolishly, a familiar Void fluctuation suddenly descended upon his head.
His heart skipped a beat, and before he could struggle, his consciousness was dragged into darkness.
It was still those upturned eyes, and those ever-swirling, mesmerizing spirals.
Upon seeing those eyes, Cheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not dirty.
I'm really home now.
"Praise be to you, great god of Deception, for it is you who made..."
"Alright, we can talk about the flattering lies later. You've been calling me for so long, what do you want to report? Hurry up and say it, I'm in a hurry."
Do you know that I've been calling you for so long?
I thought you couldn't hear me.
His eyes darted around twice, as if he could see through Cheng Shi's thoughts, and he chuckled softly.
"Countless prayers echo in my ears every moment, and it would be too boring if I listened to every single one of them."
However, you are right about one thing: I cannot hear your prayers.
"?"
Cheng Shi was taken aback, wondering if he hadn't been sincere enough.
That shouldn't be the case. People would vomit after hearing those empty flattery words, so how can this not be considered sincere?
He scratched his head, indicating that he was innocent.
His eyes smiled again, a playful smile.
"You called my name to that Dice?"
"..."
Etc!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi felt a jolt in his heart, sensing that something was about to go wrong.
"Yes, that's right, because your prayers will only echo in His ears, and even if I can hear them, it's just that He... impatiently relays them."
"??????"
Cheng Shi was stunned.
He stared at his Lord of Grace in disbelief, as if he had suddenly learned that he had been adopted.
Oh no, I was originally adopted.
In any sense...
"..."
"That's why I say that every time you Edict of Passage, it is a blasphemy against Him."
Because His ears echoed with the devotion of countless Believer in "Destiny," yet one phrase stood out:
The Lies Like Yesterday are mocked today.
Hehe~
Praying is one thing, but please don't use the word 'sneer,' it's so hurtful!
"..."
Damn it!
Cheng Shi's face darkened, and he was speechless.
This prayer is an innate gift of "Lies Like Yesterday," meaning it was personally set by the Lord of Grace before us, [Deception].
Now that I think about it, I wonder if He would have changed His prayer specifically because of his predicament?
Grass...
Is it really necessary to go to such lengths just to have some fun, my Lord of Grace?
Just because someone's profession is Clown, does that mean they have to be Clown themselves?
Haha, I'm such a Clown.
"Alright, get to the point quickly. I have a fight to fight and can't waste too much time here."
"..."
Cheng Shi hesitated, swallowing his inner complaints, and honestly recounted the matter of meeting with [Memory].
His Memory is very clear, his language is very clear, and he speaks very plainly.
But he felt that even if he didn't say anything, his Lord of Grace should already know about it.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the look in his eyes became meaningful.
He looked at Cheng Shi, his eyes filled with both relief and regret.
I'm relieved he wasn't lying.
Unfortunately, he wasn't lying.
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"?" Cheng Shi was stunned. He asked back, "Don't you have any objections? He... has already gone so far as to poach our employees here."
"It doesn't matter, I often try to undermine him too."
"If you want to go, feel free to go. I have no objection."
"..."
Cheng Shi stared incredulously at those eyes, which were now sparkling even brighter, and asked in return:
"No Oathbreak Curse?"
"Of course not."
"..."
Hehe, guess whether I believe it or not.
"You are testing me, but I will not be fooled. I am a devout Believer [Deception], and no one can change my Faith!"
This has nothing to do with you; this is my life's pursuit!
His eyes flickered, and he seemed to let out a sneer. He looked at Cheng Shi and smiled:
"A louder voice does not necessarily mean more sincerity."
Remember this: Alright, this doesn't count as an audience. I just happened to be passing by and took a quick look. Go back now.
Cheng Shi panicked and quickly reached out his hand, saying:
"Wait! Lord of Grace benefactor, I've encountered your Chosen of God one, just now, during the Trials Destiny. Was it you who sent her here?"
"Oh? Interesting."
Did you encounter the older sister or the younger sister?
Huh?
"Zhen Xin has sisters?"
"Yes, that's my younger sister."
Unfortunately, you missed it.
Okay, go back now. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't think what you shouldn't think, just honestly lie to people.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous force slammed down on him, hitting Cheng Shi's hand squarely.
His consciousness plunged into darkness again. When Cheng Shi woke up again, he found that the hand that held the "Floating Dream of the Sea of Memory" was broken.
"..."
Isn't this settling a personal score?
Furthermore, what do you mean by bullying a ring, being a "deity"?
However, after this incident, Cheng Shi also guessed his Lord of Grace's attitude.
That is, rings are acceptable and there's no need to be superstitious about them.
Praise for [Deception]!
Cheng Shi cast a Healing Art on himself, a happy smile curving his lips.
Since my foolish rivals have sent firepower, I'm going to use these things to deceive them!
