To Be Honest, I Want a Share of the Feast Where Authority is Divided!

(6000 today.)

Cheng Shi couldn't understand the battle between the gods, nor did he try to, because he was currently thinking about something else:

Since so many gods are planning to gang up on [Prosperity], why isn't this lord in front of me tempted at all?

Doesn't He have a grudge against "prosperity"? Why doesn't He get involved?

Cheng Shi bounced back and looked at the [Death] figure focused on the battlefield on the Bone Throne with a puzzled expression. When he saw the empty eye sockets of this adult, he suddenly remembered something.

Those were the words He spoke when he first met Him.

He said that Thunderclap was dead, killed by Order, but half of Thunderclap's Divinity was in the hands of this great man.

Considering His Divine Name, "Death," is it possible that when a deity truly dies, half, or at least a portion, of that deity's Divinity is automatically transferred to His hands?

After all, the death of a god can be considered, to some extent, an offering to Him!

Moreover, it is an offering at the level of a "True God"!

Cheng Shi was shocked by his own thought. He thought that if this was true, then it meant that this person was not uninvolved, but was just waiting for an ending, an ending where he could reap the benefits!

So He thought the gods could win!?

But if Destiny, Truth, Folly, and chaos truly succeed, will prosperity really die?

If He dies, what will happen to His Believer, and what will happen to Hong Lin?

I've been fooling her for ages, promising to help her achieve the fusion of "Prosperity" and "Destiny," but the next second her Lord of Grace is gone. How am I supposed to explain this to her?

She said her future self would come back and ruin her Lord of Grace's life?

That Big Cat would be furious!

Etc!

If things really develop this way, then the Token bestowed upon him by his Lord of Grace...

Cheng Shi paused for a moment. He was thinking that although the Dice was a Dice of Destiny used to expand the second Faith, when a player's first Faith disappeared, would the second Faith... become the first Faith?

Ah?

So his Lord of Grace was clearly not trying to win him over, but was actually plundering him just like [Prosperity]!

Does He want to directly turn Hong Lin into a warrior of "Destiny"?

Did He foresee the Destiny of [prosperity]?

Does that mean that prosperity is doomed to die?

So the benefit He gained from this God War was... Hong Lin?

What benefit can He gain from Folly?

Cheng Shi couldn't understand it, nor could he possibly understand it. A Mortals could never know what the gods' Chip were, but he was too curious, so curious that he wished he could join the war and grab some benefits along the way.

So, as he thought about it, only one question remained in his mind:

What benefits can I gain from this God War?

This question is far more important than whether his Lord of Grace, who is trapped by "existence," can return.

Driven by immense greed, Cheng Shi hesitated for a long time before deciding to ask again.

This time, he wasn't after gossip, but after profit—profit that was leaking through the fingers of the [Gods]!

As everyone knows, where there is risk, there is profit. In the face of the biggest upheaval since the arrival of the [Faith Game], if Cheng Shi cannot use his "divine favor" to get a share of the spoils from this chaos, Cheng Shi will feel like he has truly become a spider in a spider's web:

A failed man.

He wanted to improve; ever since that beautiful dream that night, he had desperately wanted to improve.

After much deliberation, he looked at the Great One on the Bone Throne and tentatively spoke again.

But this probe was very direct.

"My lord, please forgive my presumption, but I have a question that has always puzzled me and I would like to ask you again."

The enormous skull turned its gaze from the green screen to the Little Skull beneath the Bone Throne and nodded.

"Explain."

Cheng Shi perked up and hurriedly said:

"If [Prosperity] falls, what will become of all the players in [Faith Game] who Faith [Prosperity]?"

Furthermore, if "Truth" truly usurps the Divine Authority of "Prosperity," will new blessings concerning these Divine Authority appear upon the Believer of "Truth"?

The enormous skull seemed to have anticipated this question, and it snorted:

"The Mother of Prosperity will not fall."

You don't know about the Covenant, so you don't know its power.

Under the protection of the [Covenant], no god can kill another god.

Because the very purpose of signing it was to prevent wars from ever happening again, wars in which gods fall.

"It won't perish?" Cheng Shi was shocked. If [Prosperity] won't die, then why are these gods fighting so fiercely?

The enormous skull was in a very talkative mood today. It glanced at Cheng Shi and "enthusiastically" answered his questions.

"Not dying does not mean that one can hold onto Divine Authority."

The Truth has been studying how to effectively bypass the Covenant and integrate our Divine Authority.

He has already achieved results, and today, he should apply them to prosperity.

But Divine Authority is merely transferred, not disappeared.

Therefore, when Prosperity is trapped, except for the inability to see Him again, it has no effect on you.

Ah?

The Cheng Shi volume of information today overloaded Cheng Shi's brain, but he didn't waste time thinking about it. Instead, he immediately pressed on with even greater boldness:

"Will that affect you, sir? Prosperity is ultimately the god of life's Path of Fate. If one Path of Fate them is no longer free, what impact will that have on the other two of life?"

After a moment of silence, the enormous skull turned to look at Cheng Shi.

"You've become very bold."

What do you want to say?

What am I trying to say?

I want a share of the spoils!

But can you say that? No!

So Cheng Shi nervously uttered the boldest sentence he had uttered that day.

"I want to... help you!"

His eyes gleamed, and he strained to conjure a fanatical expression on a skull before once again displaying his Greed perfectly to death!

"My lord, if you also have expectations amidst this upheaval in the God War, your loyal employee, Cheng Shi, is willing to do what I can to help you."

And you, with just a casual instruction to your employee, can get him a small spoonful of soup in this feast of the gods!

What do you think of...?

"You, a Mortals, also desire to seize His Divine Authority?"

The enormous skull emitted a bewildered roar, a reaction so powerful that the entire torrent of skulls within the Hall of Bones seemed to boil in response to its confusion.

Countless chirping sounds swirled in the sky, and the waterfall formed from bones began to rush endlessly.

Cheng Shi was thrown back by the intense aura of death, tumbling down the steps. But he gritted his teeth and hid in the gap between the steps, shouting desperately at the Great One on the Bone Throne:

"My lord, I do not wish to seize His Divine Authority; I merely wish to steal some benefits from this 'accident'!"

"Delusion.

Mortals cannot share in His Divine Authority.

The Covenant protects all, and divine authority will not allow it to Lost.

"But you said that [Truth] has a way of exploiting loopholes to seize the Divine Authority of [prosperity], which shows that [the Covenant] is not omnipotent!"

Since the Covenant is not a panacea, why can't we do it?

My lord, the Path of Fate life is about to lose a True God. Why can't we consider life's fate and leave behind some good things?

Green flames rose from the eye sockets of the enormous skull, and it looked at Cheng Shi with a complex expression.

"Excess and Greed are the path to death."

You are not in harmony with Destiny.

You're very similar to "Deception."

"..."

But after a moment of silence, the Great One on the Bone Throne sighed and said something that Cheng Shi shouldn't have known.

"[Truth] has taken control of Dizer's body."

He has used methods to integrate bloodlines and will utilize Dizer's identity as the Son of Prosperity to inherit the Divine Authority of Prosperity.

You have no right of inheritance.

Lele'er, rooted in the Sea of Desire, you have no need to throw your life away for unrealistic fantasies.

"Inheritance rights?" Cheng Shi jumped up and down, then suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and quickly asked, "What are inheritance rights? What kind of status is required to inherit?"

"[ From Subgod], or [Emissary], when [the True God] is trapped and not free, according to the [Covenant], his Emissary has the right to Proxy Divine Authority on his behalf."

Cheng Shi swallowed hard and asked nervously, "Then His messenger... does He have one?"

"Messenger?

If so, messengers like bone servants are merely followers and naturally wouldn't exist.

"No, no, no, the kind of messenger who delivers divine pronouncements to His people!"

"Delusion, that's enough."

Do not indulge in fantasies; this is the very ability of "Filth and Decay" to corrupt people's hearts.

[Mother of Prosperity], who has never before received her divine pronouncements, and who is her favored one.

For Him, it has always been His children who relay His decrees.

You..."

"I know His eldest daughter, Flazhol!"

Cheng Shi suddenly stood up, chin in hand, his gaze fixed intently on the massive skull on the Bone Throne. He spoke with a mixture of excitement and fervor:

"My lord, if [Prosperity]'s eldest daughter Flazhol, is still alive, does she... have a right to inherit the throne!?"
