The Rumor Really Was True

These words truly left Yan Chun speechless.

Of course he knew Cheng Shi was lagging behind, because he did it on purpose!

In this bug-ridden journey, everyone has their role. After the experience of [Giggle and Mock], Yan Chun felt that he was not dispensable. He provided a huge help to this trip!

On the other hand, consider a healer with a score of 2400!

Aside from a few Healing Art, he did absolutely nothing. How could he possibly gain the Grand Marshal's trust and favor?

What's the difference between this and a slacker?

The 1900 warriors were giving it their all, while the 2400 healers were just getting by throughout the entire fight. This would be unfair to anyone.

So Yan Chun came up with a way to squeeze the potential out of wet nurses.

He knew that the expert at level 2400 must have a backup plan, but this Fate Weaver was too good at hiding his strength and didn't show it to anyone.

So Yan Chun ran a few steps faster.

It was a very crude conspiracy, or perhaps not even a conspiracy at all, just a small test.

Everyone saw through this test, but no one stopped it.

Hu Wei and Bai Fei also wanted to know what other tricks Cheng Shi, who had concealed his Faith from the beginning, had up his sleeve.

They're observing too!

This discovery gave Yan Chun more confidence, and thus, Cheng Shi's unique disadvantageous situation began.

Cheng Shi wasn't unaware of these things. When he couldn't find the figure of the Endwalker, he knew that this war against the gatekeeper of the Great Wall was not a war at all for the two big shots.

They could easily break through the "security guards'" encirclement at any time, without even much effort.

The reason for making such a big scene was simply to test the quality of my teammates!

And I, by chance, became the one being tested.

Okay, okay, you like causing trouble, huh?

If I can't beat the 2600, can't I handle the 1900?

You all like to see my hand, right? Fine, then I'll show you everything!

So Cheng Shi raised his hand.

Hu Wei and Bai Fei raised their eyebrows upon seeing this. It seemed that this Fate Weaver, who liked to deceive people, had a talent for exchanging Destiny.

Yan Chun, however, showed no joy at seeing through her teammate's trump card. Instead, she fully charged Cheng Shi's ring!

The moment Cheng Shi reached out his hand, he was truly afraid!

This Fate Weaver is completely insane.

He didn't use any tricks; he just wanted to exchange his Destiny with me!

As a player with a high score of 2400, do you have no other means of survival besides such dirty tricks?

Yan Chun panicked, so he threw his lance.

It wasn't because he wanted to save Cheng Shi, but because he was saving himself!

Seeing the second Screaming Maw light up on the ring, Cheng Shi's gaze towards Yan Chun held a hint of mockery.

Xiao Yan, it has to be you!

How high my damage output was this game all depended on you.

With that thought in mind, Cheng Shi reached out his hand again.

With a loud "boom," Yan Chun, his eyes red and panting heavily, leaped up and smashed a weapon in front of them to the ground.

Cheng Shi looked at the ring, his face beaming with barely suppressed laughter.

Wow, three already, that's pretty good.

"..."

With the bodyguard Yan Chun escorting him all the way, Cheng Shi arrived safely at the foot of the giant wall, where he met up with the trailblazer Hu Wei and Bai Fei, who had already arrived.

When he saw the intriguing look in their eyes, Cheng Shi rolled his eyes inwardly, but gave an awkward smile on the surface.

"Sorry, I dragged you down."

Hu Wei laughed heartily, patted Cheng Shi on the shoulder, and nodded repeatedly.

"You're still the same old you. Let's go, this place is no place to stay any longer."

As he spoke, Hu Wei swung his greatsword, creating a blazing wall of fire behind everyone to block all the War Machine Soldier. Then he turned and led a few people toward a dark corner beneath the wall.

As Cheng Shi got closer, he discovered that the enormous wall, radiating holy light, was actually transparent.

Just like the Wall of True Knowledge created by Yan Chun, it is transparent, except that the creation of "Folly" is invisible to the naked eye, while the creation of "Truth" shines with golden light.

Even though it's transparent, players still can't pass through the wall.

Because this giant wall was so solid, so solid that Cheng Shi tried to carve it with Scalpel for a long time, but couldn't leave a single mark.

Seeing Cheng Shi's childish actions, Yan Chun sneered, then raised her spear and thrust it into the giant wall with all her might.

"Boom--"

Nothing happened.

Like Cheng Shi, not a single trace was left.

Yan Chun's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, Cheng Shi couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

"Kukuku—"

After being frightened by himself all the way, this "Folly" Believer seemed to have lost his footing. He completely abandoned his "Folly" aloofness and was only focused on regaining face in some way and getting contempt to fall on his head.

LOL, someone's defenses have crumbled.

But this is for the best; the less rational a person is, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

Cheng Shi only hoped that Yan Chun was genuinely irrational now, and not pretending.

Seeing their actions, Bai Fei was following behind, Indifference said:

"It's no use. If this were all it took to break down the Wall of True Knowledge, I could have gotten here myself."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

This statement contains a great deal of information.

Bai Fei's meaning was clearly that even the power of [Annihilation] couldn't overcome this giant wall, and it was only Grand Marshal Hu Wei who had a way to enter it.

That's interesting.

The intensity and recklessness of [War] surpasses that of [Annihilation], but in terms of "destruction," it is far less "professional" than [Annihilation].

If the power of Annihilation was ineffective, how did the war even reach the high walls?

The answer to this question was quickly found.

Hu Wei walked and groped his way until he reached a corner where the holy light was not so dazzling. Suddenly, he stopped, placed his hand on the high wall, and muttered in a deep voice:

"To see the essence is to see the Truth."

Hu Wei, Scholar from the Void Energy Department, brought three students to record Experiment data.

As soon as he finished speaking, a small door, just big enough for one person to pass through, actually opened at the base of the wall that was as impenetrable as an iron wall!

"!!!"

Upon seeing this, the pupils of all three, including Bai Fei, shrank!

[Confusion]!

Hu Wei just used the power of chaos, not the power of war!

He used the power of [chaos] to "deceive" the Wall of True Knowledge, causing this giant wall to successfully recognize Hu Wei, a Scholar of the Void Energy Department who had never existed before!

However, this method of deception is fundamentally different from Deception.

[Deception] Deceiving others involves using various hints and guidance to create false impressions, causing a person with clear self-awareness to make various misjudgments about the fraudster's behavior and identity.

Chaos is even more straightforward and brutal; its power directly confuses the opponent's logic, alters the enemy's cognition, and plunges them into complete "cognitive confusion."

And this is exactly the kind of tactic Hu Wei just used!

And he made no attempt to conceal this power; he used it skillfully and openly!

It didn't seem like he was borrowing the power of a tool at all; it was more like he could manipulate the power of [Chaos] on his own!

What's going on?

All three of them were stunned.

Although Cheng Shi was shocked, he still observed everyone's expressions. He could tell that Bai Fei had never seen Hu Wei's methods before.

She frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"So the recent rumor was true."

Yan Chun was right in front of her. Upon hearing this, she immediately put aside her earlier embarrassment and instinctively blurted out:

"What rumor?"

"They are very interested in other [Chosen of God] who do not Faith in them, and they intend to recruit them."

This time, Bai Fei didn't leave with a cold face. Instead, she looked into Hu Wei's eyes, waiting for a response.
