They Loosened the Shackles of Faith

It's true.

Bai Fei was not lying.

Or rather, even if Cheng Shi didn't have the talent to Master of Deception, upon hearing this statement and considering recent events, he could tell that Bai Fei's words were true.

The best evidence is the "gift" of Memory and Lü Jingming's change of surname.

Really!

More than half a year after its arrival, the Faith Game has finally seen some changes.

They became less rigid and less rule-abiding.

Their gaze seemed to be more intense than before.

Why is that?

Is it time, or has something Change between them?

The questions between the gods are unanswerable, but there must be someone here who can answer Bai Fei's question.

That person couldn't be Cheng Shi, but the Grand Marshal, Hu Wei!

Hu Wei stopped and looked back at Bai Fei, then laughed heartily.

"Xiao Bai's got a lot of information, who told you?"

"Li Jingming".

Bai Fei's tone remained calm, as if all these Change were insignificant to her; she was merely slightly curious whether this statement was correct.

"I was matched with him in the last round, and I saw the Mask in his hand, he..."

They broke their vow.

He became Believer in [Deception].

However, he is still collecting Memory.

So, I traded a piece of my Memory for this news.

Hu Wei showed no surprise when he heard that Li Jingming had renounced his oath and become Believer of "Deception," clearly indicating that he already knew about it.

But he was still surprised by the information Bai Fei revealed.

"Is he still pursuing his 'path of Memory '?"

"Um."

"Since you know about his 'path of Memory,' why did you hand over your own Memory?"

Aren't you afraid he'll steal your identity and become... Bai Fei from your Memory?

Upon hearing this, Bai Fei revealed a rare smile.

A perfect smile suddenly appeared on that cold face, like a flawless snow lotus blooming on the summit of an iceberg that had never thawed for millions of years.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

"I walk under His gaze, Annihilation both all beings and Annihilation."

I am not afraid of disappearing, but only of not having found a way to continue fulfilling His Will after Annihilation myself.

?

What's the meaning?

So you'd love someone even if it meant dying, right?

The list of Crazy Woman has been updated to include one more person.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi showed an expression of "appreciation" and took a slight step back.

Yan Chun's pupils shrank sharply, and an incomprehensible look of horror appeared on her face.

Even Hu Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise, seemingly not expecting Bai Fei's understanding of the [Annihilation] will to have reached such a level.

Because he knew that Annihilation was never for the sake of mere Annihilation.

Although His Will advocates ultimate destruction, believing that everything in the universe will eventually return to nothingness.

But Hu Wei once heard someone say that in the endless disappearance and collapse, He was searching for... a new self.

Therefore, Annihilation is never for the sake of complete Annihilation, but rather for...

Newborn!

Looking back at Bai Fei's actions from this perspective, it's not hard to see that her offering of her Memory to the Believer in Memory is, in a way, a form of self -Annihilation.

But when she has no Memory left, while another person possesses all of her Memory...

Who can say that the person who possesses all of Bai Fei's Memory isn't Bai Fei himself?

Not only that, but it is also a new Bai Fei.

"Sharp!

You understand your Lord of Grace better than that annoying sanitation worker.

Hu Wei's appreciative gaze fell upon Bai Fei about to be meticulously carved.

Bai Fei also understood her own understanding of [Annihilation], and won a chance to get some answers.

She was eager to know how the current "Chosen of God" were getting closer to Him, and whether their thinking aligned with her own.

And what kind of guidance did they give to these "Chosen of God"?

Hu Wei was indeed captivated by Bai Fei's insights. He laughed heartily and didn't mind revealing the "secrets" of the "Chosen of God Ones" to the public.

"Homage to the gods has already begun!"

He started with a bombshell, completely ignoring Bai Fei's slightly furrowed brows, Yan Chun's bewildered expression, and Cheng Shi's feigned shock, and continued:

"Just as most high-ranking players guessed, [they] have set their sights on some lucky ones and have summoned them with mercy."

However, the relationships involved are quite complex, and the audience is also intertwined with some conflicts among the gods.

The "deity" that summons the player is not necessarily their respective Lord of Grace; there are other "them," and even "them" of opposing Faith.

After several visits to God, we exchanged some views.

Everyone agreed that they were bringing something to fruition.

But what exactly it is, we don't know.

However, what is certain is that "they" seem to have loosened the shackles of Faith on the players' feet, and no longer insist on the 'purity' of their Faith.

"?"

Yan Chun's eyes widened instantly. He held his breath, his eyes filled with an unusual light as he asked incredulously:

"You mean... they condoned betrayal?"

"No, no, no, the word 'betrayal' is not good. It should be called 'fusion.' They tacitly approved of the fusion."

"Fusion!?"

Yan Chun paused abruptly, then raised her voice and asked:

"Faith Fusion?"

How to integrate them, and what to use for integration?

Yes, if it's a single Faith, how can we talk about "integration"?

He quickly realized a possibility, his expression becoming even more shocked. His jaw opened and closed for a long time before he tentatively guessed:

"Could it be...?"

Will they grant a second Faith?

We will have different Faith!?

Only in this way can we say that we have truly integrated!

Grand Marshal, are you trying to embrace Chaos as your second Faith?

That's why He granted you the power to use [Chaos]!

Is that right?

This question is rather presumptuous for two people with such a large score difference.

But Hu Wei showed no displeasure; instead, he smiled meaningfully, neither denying nor confirming.

There were no fools present. Seeing Hu Wei's smile, they knew that Yan Chun had guessed correctly!

Or rather, everyone guessed right!

It's highly likely that Hu Wei has already been summoned by [Chaos] and received some special gifts!

That makes sense, since the will of chaos can ride the wave of war, and the emergence of war, to some extent, has also triggered chaos.

These two can indeed complement each other.

But the question is, if a second Faith truly exists, how can they safeguard their position?

While there may be no distinction between high and low deities, a player's preference or liking for a particular Faith will certainly vary in degree.

In this way, from the player's perspective, some Faith are definitely inferior to Faith.

But can they tolerate this situation?

I don't know about the Cheng Shi, but at least one... seems to be quite patient...

"..."

Amitabha Buddha, I have sinned.
