The First on the Birth Leaderboard: Eternal Day

The moment Faith switched back to [Deception], Cheng Shi's familiar [Deception] chat channel returned.

It's still that same gathering of liars where not a single word of truth is told, and all the liars are letting their wildest imaginations run wild.

The only downside is that this channel has no target users; it's full of scammers.

Cheng Shi casually browsed for a moment and found that many people were still posting "Welcome back the Dragon King". He couldn't help but laugh and then opened the latest [Deception] Ladder of Audience.

[The Ladder of Audience (Existence- Memory) / (Nothingness - Deception)]

1. Li Jingming (Deception) 211

2. Oh no, this is the real Dragon King (Deception) 209

3. Still Like in a Dream (Memory) 208

4. Just 2 points short of winning gold, silver, and bronze – so frustrating (Deception) 206

5. This Situation Can Wait (Memory) 203

6. Lu Shi is Very Brave! (Deception) 202

43. True Heart (Deception) 179

57. I Never Lie (Deception). 169

But when Cheng Shi saw the latest rankings, he couldn't smile anymore.

Ah?

Has Lü Jingming reached the top again?

He still reached the top as Believer in "Deception"!

I thought "Welcome the Dragon King" was just a joke, but you actually did it?

"..."

Awesome!

Cheng Shi couldn't think of a second word to describe this guy besides "awesome".

You're running so fast down the path of Deception, aren't you afraid that your former Lord of Grace's Memory will kill you?

Or are you also an undercover agent, just waiting for the day you return to the [Memory] with the number one position?

As Cheng Shi pondered, he thought of himself, since he had gone further than Li Jingming on the path of abandoning his oath.

If you laugh at someone who has taken a hundred steps but is only eighty, then you won't be able to laugh anymore.

However, besides the Dragon King incident, there is another noteworthy thing: Zhen Xin's score seems to have stopped falling and started to climb.

This means that regardless of whether the object of the prophecy was the farce or even oneself, the prophecy's shelf life has ended.

I no longer have to live in fear of those "Chosen of God" coming down to cause trouble.

However, relying solely on Zhen Xin's score was not enough to determine the exact score, so Cheng Shi frowned and opened the Priest channel.

However, the Priest channel was buzzing with conversation but yielded little useful information. So, he had a sudden inspiration, switched back to [Destiny] and changed into a Mage Mask, then secretly went to the Mage channel to inquire about information.

Sure enough, the useful information you get in 3 minutes in the Mage channel might not be available in 3 years in the scammer channel.

The old Mage are discussing the issue of "Chosen of God".

It seems that all the previously ranked Chosen of God are starting to climb back up, with many of the Faith Chosen of God even reclaiming the top spot in the last few days, once again demonstrating their strength to all players:

You can leave whenever you want, or join whenever you want.

It seems like they're playing a completely different game from the regular players behind them.

"I've summarized the information and conclusions about the Chosen of God from earlier. So far, it seems that only the Chosen of God of [Life] (full Faith), [Filth and Decay], [Time], and [Destiny] have not yet returned to their rightful places."

(Appendix)

Note 1: The "Chosen of God" mentioned here does not refer to the current number one in each Faith, but rather to the Top Rank in each Faith whose reign on the leaderboard lasts for more than 1/3 of the time since the "Faith Game" began. Of course, the current number one in the leaderboard can also be called the Chosen of God, depending on your preference.

Note 2: The "Memory" of Chosen of God is somewhat chaotic due to the shift from "Deception" to "Deception" and the subsequent successful ascension to the top, so these two Faith are not included in the statistics.

Note 3: The data comes from information on this channel. Although the records are verifiable, they should not be taken as absolute truth; each person should make their own judgment.

Cheng Shi stared in disbelief at the data table compiled by the enthusiastic Mage, his heart filled with emotion.

I've never seen anything like this on some channels; it's like chewing food up and feeding it to someone else.

Did all those guys who selflessly shared their knowledge on various forums before the arrival of the "Faith Game" choose the Mage?

What's even more terrifying is that this isn't the only set of data and information compiled into a book. The overwhelming amount of sharing is so vast that Cheng Shi has to scroll back through the chat history to see what she's interested in.

"..."

It seems that the Priest channel is quite popular, or rather, apart from the Hunter channel, no other channel can be as constantly filled with "Truth" as the Mage channel.

"Let me add some data. The Specializing in Infertility account of [Birth] has been stuck at number 10 for a while, seemingly holding back points. The current top spot is also held by a [Birth] Believer with an interesting ID called 'Eternal Day'. Those who know the history should be familiar with this name. It seems like they have quite a bit of ambition."

The Baldy Uses Pantene. This person doesn't actually fit the description of someone who has dominated the rankings for more than a third of the time, but as you all know, the Chosen of God changes every year, and the bald guy has been on the list the longest.

The Graveyard Management ranking for "Death" was initially rising, reaching around 20th place at one point, but it has dropped again in the last two days, currently sitting at 41st.

Cheng Shi quickly browsed the messages, and when he saw the ID "Eternal Day" appear in the chat, he was slightly taken aback.

This ID and this ranking, could it be her?

Hu Xuan?

Cheng Shi thoughtfully took out the Nightfall Spring Whistle from his spatial storage, recalling the Trials Emissary had experienced with this prospective [Birth.

Indeed, the world is changing... The brave are the first to embrace [Divinity].

Compared to them, I am far inferior.

But things are pretty good now. At least I haven't heard of any "Chosen of God" embarking on the path of Faith and belief. In that sense, I'm still quietly a little bit ahead of the current version.

Praise be to Deception! Praise be to Destiny! Praise be to this great Nothingness!

However, while ordinary players can gather information and analyze and speculate on the situation of high-level players and the trends of the game, they still lack the most useful information from the firsthand experiences of high-level players.

Interestingly, the small group of people analyzed by the public frequently exchange information among themselves, but they never share anything with the people at their feet.

Thus, a huge gap emerged between the top group and the pursuers below in the collection of important intelligence and key history, forming an insurmountable information gap.

Moreover, this gap is impossible to bridge; the only way to get past it is to increase your score and then... join them.

Otherwise, they probably would never communicate or share these things with some low-score players.

Cheng Shi kept scrolling through the chat history, and after a while, he was finally able to roughly confirm that the prophecy that all the "Chosen of God" had jumped down to search for had really ended.

After the rain, it seems that we won't have to face so many Peak Player in future Trials.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
