Happy Children's Day! Who isn't a child at heart? Wishing all the big and little kids a happy Children's Day!

Cheng Shi was stunned. He felt like he was giving a performance review to a boss who had no "emotional intelligence".

No, you forced me to sign an illegal labor contract and then expect me to laugh. Who would laugh in that situation?

I came here to work, not to be mistreated!

If you're not satisfied, no way, I'll cry for you.

But Cheng Shi still smiled.

It's about surviving, nothing to be ashamed of.

However, the smile was somewhat stiff.

She glanced at him again with emotionless eyes and sneered, "You don't have to force yourself to laugh if you don't want to."

You said it yourself.

Cheng Shi instantly wiped away his smile and put on a cold face, just like the one he was facing Lord of Grace.

"..."

The decisiveness of this change in expression left [Destiny] speechless.

The spiral of the whites of his eyes began to spin, and it took a long time for it to gradually calm down. Cheng Shi watched this scene and felt a slight tremor in his heart.

He won't be angry anymore, right?

I followed the instructions exactly; I didn't have any room to improvise...

His eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Cheng Shi for a long time before his somewhat fluctuating gaze finally returned to its cold indifference, and then he asked icily:

Why not take 6 points?

There's no particular reason, I'm just expressing an attitude: I don't want to be controlled by "God".

But these words couldn't be said aloud. Fortunately, Cheng Shi had already prepared his answer in his mind, and without hesitation, he opened his mouth and said:

Predestination is Predestination.

On the Predestination path of Destiny, no one can change its Destiny. No, even if there were a being beyond all things that could change it, it would still inevitably return to its Predestination Destiny.

This is what destiny Predestination.

And I merely helped to correct its Destiny.

The moment the words fell, a mesmerizing color suddenly rose in the entire Void, as if all Nothingness was resonating with Cheng Shi's echo!

Even in those Indifference eyes, a hint of... admiration flashed.

Yes, I appreciate it.

The stars were twinkling, the spiral was spinning backward, Cheng Shi never imagined that he could see a smile in the eyes of [Destiny].

But He did smile, and his smile was more beautiful than any Deception!

Whether it was the flattery of "transcending everything" or the self- Chen Shu of "will surely return to the Predestination Destiny," both brought Him great comfort.

Really!

He was destined to be a favorite of Destiny!

"Okay, very good."

The joy in his eyes lasted only a short time. He ignored Cheng Shi stunned Cheng Shi's return to coldness, but his tone of voice was no longer Indifference.

When Destiny smiles upon you, you can change Predestination.

Perseverance deserves praise, but Change should also be celebrated.

As a favored one of Destiny, you must remember not to be rigid or pedantic, nor to be bound by convention.

Your understanding of "Predestination" is commendable, but you're still wrong on one point: what transcends everything is not "existence," but rather...

[Nothingness]."

"..."

For the first time Cheng Shi realized that his comprehension points were not enough. Compared to the riddle of [Destiny], he still preferred the straightforward lie of [Deception].

At least lying is much easier.

No wonder the charlatans of "Destiny" always act so mysteriously. If their Lord of Grace is like this, how could they not follow suit?

Although he still couldn't "agree" for the time being, Cheng Shi was sensible and knew how to deal with his boss. He nodded sincerely, as if he had already digested and absorbed all the classroom content.

[Destiny] Remains noncommittal on this matter.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold again, and the man and the god stared at each other awkwardly, neither able to find a way to start the next conversation.

[Silence]... They didn't dare come to His territory.

In the end, Cheng Shi mustered his courage to break the awkward atmosphere and asked the question that was on his mind most with a forced smile.

"Um... my Lord of Grace ..."

Before he could finish speaking, upon hearing the address "My Lord of Grace," the Void rippled again, and the corner of his eye slightly lifted as he softly hummed in acknowledgment:

"Explain."

"..." I was just about to say something when you interrupted me.

Cheng Shi rubbed his forehead helplessly and continued:

"Since I now relinquish... my protection, then that one..."

Cheng Shi was interrupted again.

"It's alright, don't worry about it."

Knowing he's not interesting, He won't make things difficult for you.

"... Uh, I mean the Oathbreak Curse, Lord of Grace lord, the curse of breaking oaths in the game..."

"Hmph, that's nothing but His jealousy and envy. Since you are under my protection, I will naturally not let this envy burn you in the slightest."

How to get along with Him is not your concern.

Ah?

No, whose jealousy and envy?

Why does this sound so awkward?

Also, what should I worry about, and how should I get along with you?

Aside from telling a few small lies, I'm quite easy to get along with, but you...

Hmm, hard to say.

Cheng Shi dared not speak; he mechanically nodded in agreement, but his mind was in turmoil.

He wasn't one to dwell on things too much. Since his Faith had shifted, he accepted it as it was, firmly believing that it was all part of a grand scheme orchestrated by the God of Merriment.

Given His Deception nature, He wouldn't suffer such a great loss for no reason, so His breaking of the oath was probably already within His expectations.

No, there might even be His own influence in this!

What exactly is He trying to do?!

Even if you're going to be an undercover agent, you should go to the enemy's [Memory], not [Destiny]. What kind of undercover agent are you going to infiltrate?

A brutal attack on my fellow Path of Fate?

Etc!

Cheng Shi frowned, suddenly remembering what Hu Wei had once said about the Faith Fusion.

Could he be telling the truth?

Is the God of Merriment plotting His fusion with Destiny, and that's why He sent Him to be the vanguard?

If one renounces their oath and has only one Faith, how can they achieve integration?

Cheng Shi was filled with questions. Usually, he would have dared to ask for answers when he met with [Deception], but now, in front of [Destiny], he had no idea how to speak or even whether he should speak at all.

Then the room fell silent again.

As the saying goes, [Silence] dared not descend upon His territory, so this time it was those eyes that broke the awkward silence.

If you have any doubts, feel free to ask.

I am the essence of Nothingness, I have a clear understanding of the true nature of the Cosmos, and I know a great deal.

Even things He doesn't know, I can answer for you.

"!!!"

Cheng Shi never expected to hear such a sentence. He looked at the pair of eyes in front of him in disbelief, as if they were completely unfamiliar to him.

Something's not right. [Destiny] is much easier to communicate with than I thought!

How come I never noticed this before?

Even so, Cheng Shi didn't dare to "speak recklessly" as he had in the face of "Deception," but instead cautiously probed with a question:

"[Birth] saved me during the Trials and judgment of [Order]. Did you call Him?"

The phrase "I came in keeping my word" still echoed in his mind, and all he could think of was that game of gods involving at least three "He".

But this is anecdotes about "them" and should not be known to the players. Cheng Shi did not intend to get any results; he was just testing how far the "boundaries" of his chat with "Destiny" could go.

To his surprise, the Indifference eyes in front of him actually responded, and responded truthfully.

Yes and no.

He simply made some agreements with me and [the Truth].

I rewrote the Destiny of the [Birth] Emissary; in return, He must shield 'my Believer's from a calamity.

His Believer!?

Really!

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted, surprised that he had actually guessed correctly.
