New Trial: Born Equal (Birth)

But before going to the meeting, he had one more thing to do, which was the cheating issue he had discussed with Hong Lin on the phone.

He needs to get his hands on that amazing thing that enhances Divine Power before attending the meeting, and then go into the unknown performance with a full reserve of resources.

So today, Cheng Shi prepares to begin his Prayer Trial.

Early in the morning, he sat on the edge of the rooftop, relaxing and enjoying his breakfast, while casually sipping his food from various messages in the chat channel.

In order to gather intelligence, he still maintained his Faith in [Destiny]. After consuming a few more Mask, Cheng Shi was basically certain that the effects of the prophecy had disappeared. Although not completely, even True Heart had returned to the top ten of the Ladder of Audience. As for the other Chosen of God, they had also returned one after another.

In order to keep up with the pace of Peak Player, Cheng Shi has gained some initial impressions of the Chosen of God of various Faith after several days of careful study.

[Birth] Needless to say, Hu Xuan's Nightfall Spring Whistle is still in Cheng Shi's personal space. Every time he sees it, the chilling word "come" automatically rings in his mind.

I won't say much about [Prosperity]. The Big Cat is probably the biggest winner in the Trials besides its Lord of Grace [Destiny].

Before losing points, the Chosen of God of [Death] was always "Graveyard Management". Now he has been stuck in the 30th or 40th place of the Ladder of Audience for a long time and no one knows what he is doing.

The Chosen of God of the "Filth and Decay" is called Poison. Cheng Shi felt he might know this person because shortly after the game's release, he had matched with a female player who called herself Poison. She was a "Filth and Decay" Assassin and left a very deep impression on Cheng Shi.

Speaking of which, he met Poison before the Trials with Grand Marshal Hu Wei. She was the first Chosen of God Cheng Shi into contact with, although she wasn't at that time.

The Chosen of God of [Decay] is Lin Xi, whose name I only recently heard. This Plague Cardinal who walked to the Blood Rot Tomb was originally the Big Cat's greatest enemy, but now... he can only pray for good fortune.

The Chosen of God of [Annihilation] is very low-key and there is very little information about him, but he should be a Cleaner. Cheng Shi heard a few words about this person from Hu Wei. He once said that this person was a sanitation worker. In [Annihilation]'s profession, only His warrior Cleaner is worthy of this name.

There's a lot of information about the [Order] Chosen of God. Cheng Shi even saw his resume on the Mage channel. His name is Mo Li, and he's a Law Giver. He's supposedly the number one support in the [Faith Game].

The Chosen of God of [Truth] has no name, only a number "0221". It's strange that he is an Erudite Scholar, but there is very little news about him in the Mage channel.

[War] The one who shouldered the burden was his "generous" older brother Hu Wei, so there's not much to say about that.

[Chaos] remains as mysterious as ever. The three Chosen of God of the Faith are rarely mentioned. However, Cheng Shi learned the name of the [Silent] Chen Shu Chosen of God from Hong Lin.

As for [Existence] and [Nothingness], apart from the somewhat mysterious "Old Man," the Chosen of God [Time], Cheng Shi basically knew the others.

These 16 people may not be the strongest in the game, but they are certainly the ones who best fit their will and the ones they need to be most wary of in future games.

I wonder how long it will take before I become one of the sixteen, and who will be the unlucky one I've pushed out...?

Stop!

Forget it, let's not make any more promises. It would be too Clown if we failed to make it and ended up being proven wrong.

Cheng Shi shook his head and chuckled, filtering through countless messages as he gradually finished his breakfast. Just as he was about to get up, his gaze inadvertently drifted to the rooftop across the street.

Xie Yang has disappeared again, or rather, he has vanished for a whole week since our last meeting.

His lifestyle has been a bit strange for the past two weeks. He only shows up for a short while each time, always with a satisfied smile on his face. After chatting for a few minutes, he quickly leaves again. This makes Cheng Shi very puzzled as to how Xiao Yuan downstairs pleases him.

Just a few days ago, Xiao Yuan downstairs also disappeared. Cheng Shi discovered that no one was opening the window of the house that was often opened. Moreover, the window was covered with splattered bloodstains.

Cheng Shi imagined an indescribable emotional drama. He really wanted to ask Xie Yang if he was right, but Xie Yang hadn't shown up since he discovered all of this.

This Believer in "war" has become even more mysterious.

"Sigh, on the bright side, maybe it wasn't Xiao Yuan who died, but Xie Yang?"

This way, no one gets hurt, and the disappearance of one's neighbor is explained—isn't that a win-win situation?

As he thought about it, he laughed out loud again.

When everything was ready, Cheng Shi's expression turned solemn. He took out the Dice of Destiny and began to pray.

"Do not distinguish between truth and falsehood, nor discuss the reality and the illusion."

Your devout Believer pray to you, beginning a Trials...

A very short, safe, and easy-to-complete Trials "Prosperity"!

Cheng Shi had prayed for this kind of Trials long ago, but at that time he did not specify it as Trials for any particular being.

Back then, he was already trying to exploit loopholes in the [Faith Game]. His reason for wishing for these "speedrun" Trials was simply to get some resources out of the Trials. However, the [Faith Game] seemed to have anticipated this, so these Trials were often unusually easy. They were either a day of sightseeing in the wild or a day trip to the Grand Inquisition city dungeon. There were countless examples like these. In short, they were all Trials that left people speechless because they couldn't find anything to collect.

It's completely useless except for wasting time.

But this time is different. I have connections, so even if I just wander around all day, I can get what I want.

Thinking about it this way feels so good.

But Cheng Shi never expected that when he closed his eyes with a smile on his lips, a line of information appeared before him that was somewhat different from his prayer:

The Prayer Trial (Born Equal [Birth]) has begun.

[Matching teammates (1/6)]

[Trial Objective: Every life has the equal right to be born, even if it shouldn't be born. (7-day time limit)]

No, huh?

Ah???

Cheng Shi was stunned. He stared at the bright red words "Birth" in his field of vision, his heart skipped a beat, and his legs tightened instantly.

Didn't I pray for the Trials "prosperity"? How did it become "Birth"?

What's going on?

My Lord of Grace, were you doing this on purpose, or on purpose?

Are you kidding me? He just said He wanted to see me, and you sent me there?

Could you please ask for my opinion before making a decision next time?

"..."

To be honest, it's been a long time since I've been matched with Him. The last time I was in His Trials was three months ago in the solo Leavings dungeon.

In order to honor their Lord of Grace, Believer of [Birth] often do some incomprehensible or even despicable things. Cheng Shi only hopes that he will not encounter too many of His Believer in this Trials [Birth], so that he may still have the chance to avoid becoming a father or mother.

"It should just be that they changed the [Prosperity] attribute, right?"

I can't just change all my qualifiers at once.

If you're going to be so heartless, then don't blame me for using the Mask to Prayer Trial next time...

"Ugh, what a mess this is."

Cheng Shi's face darkened, and he vanished from the spot.

Match successful (6/6), entering the Trials.
