Inference Regarding the God War

"God War!?"

"Not long ago?"

"Really?"

A gasp rippled through the audience. The ordinary people present, bombarded with bombardment of news, could no longer contain themselves and finally unleashed the shock they had been suppressing since the beginning.

Various doubts and speculations arose, and the voices of condemnation and debate almost drowned out the entire venue.

Cheng Shi keenly noticed that his elder brother Hu Wei's expression had also become somewhat surprised. Clearly, he had not expected the person on stage to say such a thing.

President Gong gestured with his hand and continued with a smile:

"That's right, it's 'God War'."

Do not question the reliability of the information I am providing, because it was witnessed firsthand by a friend of mine who wishes to remain anonymous.

Of course, the God War was not seen by Mortals, and he could only deduce it from the clues in the Trials.

But I think his deduction is perfectly correct.

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience began to discuss them again. The Believer of "Folly" looked at them with disdain, while the Believer of "Decay" cursed them vehemently. But the loudest voice came from the elusive Believer of "Deception."

All that could be heard was that voice, which seemed to shift locations at will, laughing loudly and mocking:

"Hey, Mr. Gong, this friend of yours who doesn't want to reveal his name, could it be you?"

Are you making friends out of thin air?

President Gong on the stage shook his head and chuckled, then immediately retorted:

"If it were really me, I would have spoken louder when I announced this news, but unfortunately, it is not me."

After all, there are always people who don't want to be in the public eye for one reason or another, right?

For example...

"You, who have always kept a low profile."

"..."

These words were undoubtedly damaging; the voice that couldn't find its way out paused, and didn't reply.

Some people in the audience even started cheering for President Gong's rebuttal.

Cheng Shi watched the farce with great interest, thinking to himself that President Gong's Fool's Society... was basically set in stone.

Because quite a few "mediocre people" have already recognized his personal charm.

It's unclear whether this "Fool's Society" truly serves mediocre people as he claims, or whether it's a "wolf" disguised as a mutual aid organization to exploit them!

After that voice stopped questioning, President Gong continued:

"To dispel any doubts, I can tell you everything I know."

What is certain is that a huge accident occurred during the Trials my friend participated in. He didn't know what the accident was, but he witnessed its consequences, which were...

For the first time ever, all the gods descended together into that Trials!

"Whoosh—"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed again.

President Gong is very good at "storytelling." Even though he wears a mask and people can't see his face, his posture and tone are so seductive that every word he says has a kind of magic, making people unconsciously believe him.

But these words were more than just shocking to Cheng Shi; they were jarring!

It was incredibly jarring!

Because the scene of the Divine Descent sounds all too familiar.

Could it be that the friend that President Gong mentioned... is one of my former teammates?

That Trials was the [Prosperity] Trials the Spark Will Die.

No, there isn't enough information to draw that conclusion.

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted, but he continued listening without showing any emotion.

"You heard me right, [they] have all descended upon a Trials."

Furthermore, in that Trials that was significant enough to be recorded in history, two beings engaged in a fierce battle.

Of course, I don't mean that there was a civil war between the existence of time and Memory, but rather that a Decay war broke out between the prosperity of life and the Sinking of life, these two opposing Faith!

Think about it, my friends. Surrounded by numerous gods, two deities clash over Faith and Divine Authority. What else could this be but a "God War"?

As soon as President Gong finished speaking, some of the "Folly" Believer in the room began to express their disdain:

"Nonsense. If a battle between two gods can be called God War, then I can only say that the Fool's Society nothing but a ridiculous organization that plays word games, and you, President Gong, are nothing but a Clown on this absurd Stage."

?

The keyword has been triggered!

Cheng Shi, who was still frowning and wondering which of his teammates from the previous Trials was President Gong's friend, was "slightly" on the verge of a breakdown after hearing this.

What did the Clown do to you?

Why do people have to bring up Clown when they're insulting others?

To say that others are ignorant is Folly Believer who are truly ignorant!

Even Clown is smarter than you!

The key point in President Gong's words was clearly not "the two gods fighting", but rather "the arrival of all the gods"!

This is the key point!

If no drastic change occurred, why would they all descend upon the same Trials at the same time?

Ah, things are getting interesting again, and Cheng Shi's gaze turned serious.

He wondered which teammate had made such a completely contrary prediction during the Trials in which everyone went their separate ways, but after thinking it over, he could only suspect four people.

First, we can rule out the fourth-ranked "Decay" one, Zhen.

If this Rot Singer was tricked into the Blood Rot Tomb by the Big Cat were still alive, he wouldn't have so blasphemed his Lord of Grace and made such a self-defeating speculation.

The remaining three can actually be counted as two, because An Jing was originally Zhen Xin's person, so she and Zhen Xin can be seen as one and of one mind.

As for Zuo Qiu, who was replaced by Zhen Xin...

Although Cheng Shi left as a Believer of "Destiny" at the end of that Trials, and could not determine whether Zuo Qiu was alive based on the number and nature of the masks, according to his guess about Zhen Xin, there was a very high probability that the Historian was still alive.

Since even her unlucky younger sister didn't seem to have the inclination to kill indiscriminately, it's highly likely that her more "orderly" older sister wouldn't kill indiscriminately either.

Even if Zuo Qiu's Faith are opposed to hers, at Zhen Xin's level, the opposition of Faith would probably have to take a backseat to interests.

Therefore, President Gong's friends are either Zuo Qiu or Zhen Xin.

Of course, there is also a third possibility: his friend is Zhen Yi, or rather, he himself... could be Zhen Yi!

Because these stories are like those told by a liar, a mix of truth and falsehood.

Others may not know, but he can't fool Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi truly witnessed that God War firsthand and participated in the [The Gods' Covenant Assembly], which players shouldn't have been involved in!

He knew that President Gong was half right. The God War had indeed begun, but what fell was not Decay, but prosperity!

Furthermore, [Prosperity] did not die because of the God War, but rather died from... its own destruction!

It's not that he was wrong to draw this conclusion from the limited perspective of that Trials; it just means that his friend was very bold!

Because no normal person would dare to speculate about the life or death of a deity!

From this perspective, his friend seems more like Zhen Xin.

But is what he said true?

If that friend was indeed Zhen Xin, how could she dare to guess that it was "Decay" who had perished?

More importantly, does that friend really exist?

President Gong, is your surname Gong or Zhen?
