Praise the Great Fate...Deception!

Cheng Shi became anxious.

Because he discovered that his prayers not only failed to summon the two Lord of Grace, but also caused him to lose the "Gate of Joyful Desire" Token he held.

He didn't know when the Token was taken away, or who took it, but he guessed it was probably [Destiny], since [Destiny] seemed to have rejected his suggestion to have Afros work for him.

Losing an S -S-Rank Item wouldn't bother Cheng Shi saddened him was that it had been a window into the secrets of the gods, and now, that window had been mercilessly shut.

Therefore, they did not want to know anything about the "era"!

The more they tried to conceal it, the more curious Cheng Shi became, but now curiosity was useless because he had no way of knowing these things from other people.

He considered calling again to ask, but that wasn't a safe approach.

You must understand that if your Lord of Grace are not prepared to tell you these things, then if you encounter problems in the process of learning about these things, you must carefully consider whether they can still be your strong support.

To be on the safe side, Cheng Shi decided to put it aside for now and pay more attention to these two words in subsequent Trials.

Feeling exhausted after a long day of tension, he decided to go to bed early and try to forget his troubles through sleep.

But the moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly realized that his vision had completely gone black!

And yet another Him summoned Himself!

The reason he was so certain was that Cheng Shi never turned off the small lamp by his bed when he slept. A dimly lit magic lamp would leave a little light in his field of vision through his eyelids when Cheng Shi sleeping. Only in this way could he be sure whether he had been accidentally invaded by someone else's consciousness or affected by a certain range when his vision was completely dark.

But this time, the darkness in my vision was too pure, as pure as...

Void!

Cheng Shi seemed to have guessed something. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that there was indeed a pair of bright and dazzling Starry Eyes in front of him!

But what shines brightly are the stars in their eyes, what is brilliant is the light flowing in their pupils, and the expression in their eyes is so cold that it immediately reminds one of Indifference observing the Destiny of all living beings!

Cheng Shi made up his mind, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately began to praise:

"Praise be to the great God of Deception!"

May the lies of the Cosmos weave together in your hands into a Deception illusion, adding a touch of color to this great age of "Nothingness"!

He changed his mind, and changed it very quickly, because he suddenly felt that if it were "Destiny," it wouldn't deliberately summon him at the moment he closed his eyes and do such a trick.

As for why those eyes look so cold, well, I don't need to elaborate on their Deception nature.

Not only that, Cheng Shi the instant of changing his tune, also had a flash of inspiration and added a subtle test to his praise. As for whether this test was effective...

It doesn't depend on whether the God of Merriment falls for it or not, but on whether He's in a good mood or not, and whether He wants to take the bait.

So when he saw a Nothingness fishing line with a straight hook and bait cast in front of him, his eyes suddenly changed from cold to playful, and he sneered:

"How come I've never heard of a god called Destiny...Deception in the Nothingness?"

"What, your path of 'Nothingness' has already put you so far ahead of mine?"

"..."

Cheng Shi's smile froze. He lowered his head sheepishly and offered a weak excuse:

"My inner piety always makes me want to praise both of my Lord of Grace at the same time. I accidentally said what was on my mind. I hope my Lord of Grace will forgive me."

Those playful eyes remained silent upon hearing this, but instead blinked casually, and then a voice exactly like Cheng Shi's echoed from the depths of the Void.

"As long as I'm thick-skinned enough, He can't hold a grudge about such a small mistake, right?"

"Oh no, I forgot He had this trick up His sleeve!"

"No, what I mean is... my Lord of Grace, isn't what you're doing a little... a bit unfair?"

"Damn it, this is never going to end."

"No, no, no, I can't think about it anymore!"

"..."

Cheng Shi was stunned. He was sweating profusely, lowered his head, and remained silent, silently repeating the prayer of "Deception" in his mind.

Upon seeing this, the mocking laughter in those eyes grew even louder:

"Oops, I accidentally revealed what the Believer was thinking. I hope the Believer will laugh at me."

"..."

Cheng Shi's lips twitched so frequently they were almost as stiff as his face. He raised his head with a resigned expression, looked at his Lord of Grace, and said in surrender:

"As long as you're happy."

Hehe~

I'm not happy. That little cat felt so much belonging to an organization when it embarked on the path of "Destiny," so why isn't it so devout to Little Bone?

Um?

Small bone? What small bone?

Cheng Shi wasn't stupid. After a second of stunned silence, he immediately realized that the "little bone" that the Deception was talking about was probably Squinty Old Zhang!

Did He summon Squinty Old Zhang?

Cheng Shi was startled, and asked with a mixture of surprise and delight:

"Mmm... Little Bone has come to pay his respects?"

"You gave him a second Faith?"

His eyes darted around twice, and he responded with a half-smile.

"Some people, when they're lying, they don't forget the Dice in their hand. While they're lying, they keep nagging in my ear, as if they want to tell me every single word of those fabricated promises they made up."

"You've got some nerve, trying to deceive both sides like this. When did I ever agree to grant Little Bones a second Faith?"

Cheng Shi hearing this, Cheng Shi immediately withdrew his head and remained silent.

The reason for his silence was not because his Lord of Grace had falsely accused him, but because what his Lord of Grace said was true; he was indeed lying to both sides!

When Zhang Jizu asked Cheng Shi what he could win by gambling with him, Cheng Shi gave him a bunch of lies.

But he knew it was all fake. In other words, according to common sense, Zhang Jizu only had risks and no benefits in that gamble.

Cheng Shi didn't want that. He felt that Squinty Old Zhang suited his taste, and the two of them had almost the same steady demeanor, so he didn't want his new friend to take risks and end up with nothing.

So while he was convincing Zhang Jizu, he was simultaneously holding a Dice of Destiny in his hand and silently reciting the prayer of Deception, hoping that He would hear his "misinterpretation of the Deception intentions"!

Yes, he was not only deceiving Zhang Jizu, but also deceiving his own Lord of Grace. [Deception]!

Of course, calling it a scam is inappropriate; this behavior is more like "fishing."

While Cheng Shi squinting at the deception, he was also explaining to his Lord of Grace [Deception] how much fun it would be to "drag Zhang Jizu down the path of [Deception]", hoping to convince Him and hopefully grant Zhang Jizu a second Faith in the process!

This was Cheng Shi purpose: to create a profit for his new friend in a situation where he gained nothing!

Of course, he wasn't sure if Zhang Jizu was willing to go down the path of Deception, so he gave the choice back to Squinty Old Zhang Jizu himself. The moment Squinty Old Zhang agreed to join the game, the other game that Cheng Shi had set up took effect.

The benefit is that the God of Merriment, out of a desire to collect fun, actually accepts Zhang Jizu; the risk is... Zhang Jizu gains nothing.

Therefore, Cheng Shi was never gambling on their lives, but rather on whether his Lord of Grace would "pull" Zhang Jizu out of this kind of fun.

But now it seems that he, no, it should be Zhang Jizu, has... won the gamble?

Seeing Cheng Shi cower in fear, the eyes in the Void sneered again.

"Misinterpreting the will of God is a grave sin of blasphemy. You're getting bolder and bolder."

Cheng Shi politely broke out in a cold sweat, then quietly and cunningly explained:

"Lord of Grace benefactor, you cannot fabricate accusations! When have I ever misinterpreted your will?"

"Refusing to admit wrongdoing is an even greater offense." As he spoke, the atmosphere in the Void gradually turned cold.
