You See, He Still Had to Thank Us

"Aluveni, as His people, we are one, without distinction, without hierarchy. You need not do this, nor should you be."

Rise, for His trials are not over; an even more difficult road lies ahead for you.

Upon hearing this, the Fungus-Footed People were trembling with excitement, immediately stopped crying and quickly stood up.

At this moment, nothing in the world mattered as much as receiving the forgiveness of [Prosperity]. So they stood up straight, like soldiers awaiting inspection, their eyes filled with anticipation and trepidation as they looked at Cheng Shi, waiting for this Divine Envoy to bestow a new test.

The old clan chief even took a few steps back, wanting to welcome him to the middle of the house.

Cheng Shi smiled and refused him, then returned the newborn's baptism gift to its rightful owner.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue "embezzling," but he was afraid that keeping things that didn't belong to him might Change and become a flaw that would expose his crimes. So he quickly returned the tender sprouts to Hong Lin.

Hong Lin's expression changed again after she took it; she knew she had no other choice now.

The target of the Trials is most likely the Fungus-Footed People tribe in front of us. Although it is still uncertain whether the dying embers represent the hope of the Fungus-Footed People or the survival of their tribe, it doesn't matter anymore.

Because they have already made their choice.

Because of the passivity of others and Cheng Shi's excessive initiative, everyone was caught up in Cheng Shi's deception and could only blindly follow the rhythm of this Fate Weaver, with no other choice.

Although she preferred to complete the Trials as a passerby, without getting involved in any cause and effect with history, there was no point in thinking about it now. So, having instantly figured out the situation, Hong Lin could only suppress her thoughts and turn to help Cheng Shi.

She released a rich power of "Prosperity," maximizing the activation of the new life's baptism and making the light of "Prosperity" in the room even brighter.

This undoubtedly reassured all the Fungus-Footed People.

Praise be to prosperity, for this is a power that only Divine Envoy possess!

Seeing this, Cheng Shi smiled with satisfaction at Hong Lin, his eyes clearly saying: You have good eyesight, sister!

Hong Lin's lips twitched slightly, helpless.

She really wanted to ask Cheng Shi what his plans were, but to be honest, Cheng Shi wasn't sure either, because he didn't have any plans at all.

He saw only endless disappointment and a death wish in the old patriarch's eyes, and suddenly wondered if the hope of the Fungus-Footed People was that dying ember. So, without discussing it with his teammates, he went straight onto the stage without thinking.

But the script isn't finished yet, so it's going to be a bit difficult to act next.

But this is no problem for a conman, especially a Clown always performs on stage.

Cheng Shi looked around for a moment, then said in a serious tone:

"He has set five tests for you. When you pass all the tests, you will be qualified to go home."

The silence we just witnessed was the first act: perseverance in the face of Despair!

Even in the most Despair times, His people cannot turn away from their Faith. You have done so; your piety is evident to all. I will instruct the scribe to record this carefully and report all this to Him on His next audience."

"..."

After hearing Cheng Shi's speech, his teammates were stunned.

He even tried to come up with a reason for his teammates' unusual behavior while he was faking it...

Clerk?

I've become a court clerk?

Zuo Qiu twitched his lips, suppressing a smile, and nodded in agreement with Cheng Shi.

Hong Lin suppressed the urge to roll her eyes for a long time, and muttered a few complaints to herself about Cheng Shi.

What do you mean by "the next time I see Him"? Isn't that a bit too grandiose?

Have you seen Him?

She thought to herself, "I've only been summoned twice in total, and I have no idea when the next time will be. But with you, it seems like I can be summoned anytime."

Even if you're lying, shouldn't you at least try to be more discreet?

While the players found it outrageous, these words resonated like a sacred bell in the ears of the Fungus-Footed People, lingering for a long time!

Standing before them was a Divine Envoy whom they could see at any time!

Upon learning this, the Fungus-Footed People's expressions became even more devout, and their postures became even more humble.

The old clan chief hung his head in unease, thinking:

It turns out that He gave us five trials, and we have already passed one!

So, if they win the other four matches, does that mean the tribe will be forgiven for the sins it has borne for hundreds of years?

We have waited for the day when forgiveness will come!

God's grace is boundless!

At this moment, what else can we do but praise Him?

After much thought, the old clan chief raised his head and addressed Cheng Shi with utmost reverence:

"Praise [prosperity], praise the Divine Envoy."

It was you who brought His forgiveness to the tribe, and it was you who gave us renewed hope for redemption.

The entire tribe will forever remember your kindness and sing your praises for generations to come!

"Excuse my presumption, but how should we address you, Your Excellency, the Divine Envoy?"

See, he even has to thank us.

"..."

The players in the room were speechless. Cheng Shi was also a little embarrassed by the praise, but he quickly rolled his eyes and coughed twice, saying:

"Ahem, you can call me Baldy."

The moment the words left his mouth, the Divine Envoy flew away... no, the Divine Envoy fell down.

Suddenly his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

"Bald... bald head?"

The old patriarch was initially somewhat incredulous that the Divine Envoy would have such a name, but seeing the Divine Envoy fall to the ground, he was greatly alarmed and hurriedly went forward to Divine Envoy up. Then he saw the Divine Envoy rubbing his backside and chuckling awkwardly:

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just not used to this human body after standing for a long time. It's nothing to worry about."

Oh, right, how could His Divine Envoy have a physical body? This is merely a temporary vessel of flesh and blood for His Divine Envoy.

The old clan chief nodded in sudden understanding and withdrew. Cheng Shi chuckled twice and returned to his original position, awkwardly looking at Hong Lin behind him, whose eyes were blazing with anger. He muttered something under his breath without moving his lips:

"Big sister, if you kick again, you'll give yourself away! I just praised you for being observant, and you're backing down now? Can't you even act?!"

Hong Lin's forehead veins bulged as he gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you say my name?"

"Big sister, you're the Chosen of God [Prosperity], so why should I talk about you instead of mine?"

"I am Chosen of God, but not Divine Envoy!"

"The Fungus-Footed People doesn't know, so what's wrong with borrowing your name for a bit!"

"You're just asking for trouble! Haven't you heard the saying, 'Never get involved in the karma of history'? Why don't you use yours!"

?

Is that how you say it?

I used your name precisely because I was afraid of getting involved in any karmic consequences. What else did you think...?

But this was definitely not something that could be said aloud, so Cheng Shi frowned slightly, feigning a mistake, and whispered a word of advice:

"We've already said it, what else can we do? If we don't say it, it'll be even more troublesome. We'll just have to bear with the problems and wait until they leave before... kicking them!"

"..."

Hong Lin's angry expression Change several times, but in the end she let out a heavy sigh and held back.

Having won over the Chosen of God One, Cheng Shi Shijian silently and devoutly prayed in his heart:

Praise be to Destiny, for it is you who have taught everyone to be patient.

The old clan chief, concerned for his tribe, watched as the two Divine Envoy finished their hushed conversation and asked anxiously:

"Bald Lord, may I ask, what is the next test He has given us?"
