Zhen Yi all along

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Everyone present, except Zhen Xin, was pondering a question:

If the primary personality of a schizophrenic becomes a god, and the intensity of consciousness is completely unbalanced, is there any room for the secondary personality to survive?

Could it be that Zhen Yi...

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's expression changed, and his pupils shrank as he looked at Zhen Xin. When he saw the somewhat gloomy look in her eyes, his heart sank, and he suddenly recalled the days when he had met Zhen Yi.

The Master of Trickery who always had a "hee" sound on his lips and tormented people with loud laughter actually left because his sister became a god!?

Zhen Xin paid such a high price to cooperate with the ascension to godhood!?

Admittedly, in the eyes of other players, Zhen Yi is Demon Pill Descended to Earth, but in Zhen Xin's eyes, she is, after all, her sister, the only one who helped her through the most difficult years.

Cheng Shi couldn't imagine how much of a blow Zhen Xin Zhen Yi's departure would be, yet this strong Magician never uttered a single complaint.

She has given so much for the Clown and for the world...

"Feel sorry."

Cheng Shi lowered his head sadly.

This apology shattered the Void atmosphere, and a wave of sadness suddenly filled the air among the Clown.

Even Long Jing, who was at odds with Zhen Yi the most, showed a hint of sadness on his face. He didn't dare to look at Zhen Xin, but instead looked into the distance, muttering in a voice only he could hear:

"Fool, you messed up."

Wouldn't you dare lie to your own sister?

"What are you pretending to be a hero for... Yes, I'd like to pretend to be a hero too, but I'm still alive. What about you...? You're so cunning, why don't you find a way to survive yourself..."

Long Jing's words sounded like both insults and sarcasm, but everyone could hear the emotion behind them.

The bad luck was real; when Zhen Yi was around, no one thought she wasn't unlucky.

But once they learned that the Master of Trickery had sacrificed himself for the "greater good," that subtle emotion instantly transformed into a sense of reluctance, understanding, and forgiveness.

Especially after learning about the Zhen Family sisters' past, her feelings turned into pity.

She appeared when Zhen Xin was in her most painful moment, holding an umbrella for her sister in the pouring rain, but left when Zhen Xin was at her most "glorious," leaving Cosmos with only a silent "heh"...

This behind-the-scenes yet attention-grabbing behavior undoubtedly resonated with Long Jing, to the point that President Gong turned his head away and quietly sniffed.

The Clown present were all Cosmos, and no matter how subtle the movement, it couldn't escape their notice. Thus, President Gong's two sniffs became the tragic turning point of the scene. He had just turned back when he heard the people in front of him saying things with different expressions:

"At least one person was fooled."

"It's quite remarkable that President Gong can empathize with Zhen Yi."

"Hmm, another piece added to the collection."

"Hehe~"

"!!!???"

Long Jing couldn't believe her eyes, and even less could she believe her Ear!

He looked at the four "companions" in front of him in shock: the hateful Old Zhang with his eyes narrowed and smiling, the hateful Cheng Shi with his eyebrows raised and trying not to laugh, the hateful Dragon King with his smile, and finally the hateful Zhen Yi with his shrewd expression!

It has to be Zhen Yi! I know her smile all too well, there's no mistake!

"You... you all..." President Gong was filled with grief and indignation, "How dare you play me!"

Zhen Xin burst into laughter, displaying her extreme liveliness.

Hehe~

Who tricked you?

Old Gong, we didn't say a word to each other, who knew you'd suddenly start sniffling?

Did they think I was dead?

So you were this heartbroken when I died? Oh dear, do you like me?

"I love your mom %@#￥%!!!"

Long Jing broke down, and he angrily pointed at Cheng Shi and asked:

"You knew all along, didn't you, Fate Weaver!"

Since you knew Zhen Yi wasn't dead, why did you say sorry?

Cheng Shi finally found a sliver of joy amidst the Clown, and he said with a smile:

"Given the thought of lying to you again, it's not wrong to let you know in advance, is it?"

"???"

Long Jing raised her voice, her expression contorted, and said, "You're talking to me!?"

Cheng Shi nodded. "That's right, it's never right to lie to you, so it's only right to apologize in advance."

"But your expression clearly changed, obviously you were thinking the same thing as me, so why did you suddenly understand?"

"It's very simple. If Zhen Yi really leaves, no matter how well Zhen Xin hides it, she will never be able to hide it from An the Chosen, who has always cared about her."

Given An the Chosen's personality, the fact that he knew about such a major event but didn't come to me for help only proves that the proposition of Zhen Yi leaving is fundamentally flawed.

"..."

Long Jing's blank mind thought for a moment and then realized that it seemed to make a lot of sense.

But he was unconvinced and glared angrily at Old Zhang. Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes, not wanting to cause trouble, and quickly explained:

"I am Believer [Death]. Even though I didn't inherit everything from my Lord of Grace when Zhen Yi left, the fact that my Lord of Grace never revealed anything to me is a reassuring piece of good news."

"..."

As soon as Zhang Jizu finished speaking, Li Jingming chimed in, "[Memory] is the same; if no new items are added to the Memory Archive, then nothing has happened."

"..."

So you're all smart, and I'm the only idiot?!

Long Jing staggered back a step, repeatedly pinching his nose with his fingers. He chuckled maniacally, one syllable at a time, then shouted:

"Ha, ha, ha, Clown!!!"

The atmosphere became even more joyful, with laughter filling every inch of the Void.

Besides Long Jing...

He Cheng Shi.

Dude, the Clown suffered so much, are you really going to use him to whip his corpse?

Cheng Shi could no longer laugh, but then he thought of something else:

Wait a minute, there's more than one Clown in the scene, why not project the image of the other one?

He looked at Old Zhang, only to see that after Zhang Jizu glanced at him, the smile in his eyes widened even further.

"..."

Squinty Old Zhang wasn't laughing at me; he was laughing at Long Jing!

Soon, Li Jingming's smile faded, and he turned to look at Zhen Yi, as if he wanted to say something.

However, Zhen Yi smiled and shook her head at him, silencing the Dragon King.

Zhang Jizu noticed something amiss and stood silently to the side. In the end, it was Cheng Shi noticed the abnormality, sighed deeply, suppressed his genuine smile, and said softly:

"Let me tell you, joy is wonderful, but it's fleeting."

Zhen Xin, you were involved in that plan from beginning to end, so you should know the purpose of [Deception]. He put you in that position, which was obviously not done casually.

So what are your thoughts?

The Dragon King seems intent on getting you to switch back to [Deception]... Wait!

Cheng Shi suddenly realized something, his expression changed, and he said with surprise and uncertainty, "Dragon King, you don't mean to let Zhen Yi inherit the [Deception] Divine Throne!?"

"One body, two souls, inheriting two positions separately?"

Whether it's feasible or not is another matter, but the thought of a new generation of "Xi" replacing the old "Xi" gives Cheng Shi a headache.

It's true that the new [Annihilation] will be a Cosmos crisis, but the new [Deception] might be just as catastrophic...

He rubbed his forehead, looked at Zhen Yi, and asked with a somewhat serious expression:

"Zhen Xin, is this also your idea?"

Everyone looked at Zhen Xin, only to see that she still looked like Zhen Yi Zhen Xin, with a smile on her lips, but the smile quickly faded away.

She lowered her eyes slightly and stopped joking:

"Our Lord of Grace certainly did not do this casually."

He granted me one wish and gave me an older sister.

"?"

Just as everyone was still wondering what Zhen Yi meant, her shoulders slumped, as if she had shed an endless pretense, and she raised her head to give everyone a forced smile:

"I am Zhen Yi, and I have always been Zhen Yi."

From the time you know about my past, I have been that person.

I am the... the true owner of this body.
