A Flawless Deduction

"What's impossible?"

President Gong smiled, paced back and forth on the Stage, and said with great confidence:

"Prosperity and Decay are on the same list, so friends of these two Faith should know that the Chosen of God ID of Decay is 'Rotten Wood', and the IDs of the second to fourth places on the list are Yu Mu, Bu Ziqi, and Zhen Du respectively."

I have confirmed that these four have not seen Him since that 'God War'.

"That's ridiculous. Unless you're one of them, how would you know they weren't secretly worshipping God?"

And even if you are one of them, you'll probably only know your own situation. Does that mean what others tell you is always correct?

As soon as President Gong finished speaking, countless questions arose in the room. Of course, revealing the private situations of four Peak Player at once would certainly raise suspicions, but this time, President Gong was not lying.

Because after that question, the sophisticated-looking man in the first row spoke up.

His words confirmed what President Gong had said.

"I can confirm that President Gong is right; the Peak Player of [Decay] have indeed not paid homage to the gods during this period, however..."

I also want to clarify that this situation of them not being summoned has been going on for some time, not just recently.

Additionally, I can add some other information: the summons for [Prosperity] have probably ceased as well.

"The 'bald man' and the 'Only Carved Rotten Wood' haven't made any moves lately either."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Everyone in the hall looked at the confident and elegant man, constantly speculating about his identity.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Shi became even more certain of his guess, convinced that this person must be one of the Chosen of God he had not yet met.

On the stage, President Gong clapped and laughed upon hearing the information provided by the man in the first row. He bowed gracefully to the man and then expressed his gratitude:

"I am very grateful for your support, Your First Assistant, but I must remind you that no matter how selflessly you share this information with us, the Fool's Society find it difficult to tolerate someone as great as you."

You are the genius I'm talking about, so genius that you don't need ordinary people to highlight you, so...

What brings you here?

Your First Assistant the Grand Secretary?

What a terrible nickname!

Cheng Shi was stunned, feeling a little confused, but then he thought of someone, a Law Giver who was once called "the number one support in the [Faith Game]" by various channels, Mo Li!

"..."

Is he Mo Li?

So this is the First Assistant, the chief assistant, right?

Excellent! What a fine First Assistant minister you are!

At this moment, someone finally recognized Mo Li's identity, and exclamations rang out again.

"It is him, the Chosen of God of [Order], the Law Giver understands human nature best, Mo Li!"

"Who? The Chosen of God? Even the Chosen of God is just an ordinary person?"

"... I don't know if Chosen of God is mediocre, but buddy, you definitely are."

"Yes, that's me, otherwise why would I be here?"

"..."

Amidst the clamor of shock, Mo Li, sitting in the front row, did not deny her identity. Instead, she smiled and calmly addressed the stage:

"The difference between geniuses and mediocre people is just a difference in their perspectives on the world. I dare not call myself a genius, but none of you here are necessarily mediocre."

Highbrow music is often appreciated by few, but highbrow music is not always pleasing to the ear.

I only know that the majority is the mainstream of this world, just as the glory of my Lord never changes because of the differences in individual lives, and shines equally on everything in the Cosmos.

Therefore, I am not a genius, nor am I an enemy of mediocre people, and I harbor no malice towards Fool's Society.

I simply happened to find a card, and out of curiosity, I came in to take a look. Of course, more importantly, I wanted to see if this was a place illuminated by my Lord [Order].

These words impressed most of the players present, who were very fond of the self-effacing Chosen of God. Even Cheng Shi felt that this peak Law Giver was simply impeccable.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

President Gong stood on the stage, clapping rhythmically and praising loudly:

"As expected of His Believer, He still makes people feel safe."

It seems I have to thank everyone present for their restraint, which prevented us from being criticized by the First Assistant.

But now that the First Assistant has confirmed this, I suppose everyone will have no more doubts?

Mo Li smiled and said again:

"As I said, their lack of worship of God didn't just start recently, so President Gong, your evidence is a bit too clever."

"No matter how compelling the evidence is presented to a disbeliever, it will not convince him."

I am merely the convener of the Fool's Society, not its teacher. My vision is to benefit those mediocre people who are willing to trust each other and intend to join the Fool's Society, rather than to reform those stubborn lone wolves.

And what I want to say is that when people see something, they should not only look at its appearance, but also explore the essence of the matter through these broken and false appearances!

The essence of all these appearances I've described is... [Decay] has fallen, [Prosperity] has triumphed!

"..."

President Gong's logic wasn't particularly coherent. As he said, he was openly trying to mislead those who were willing to believe him. There might indeed be players present who were willing to believe him, but these people were probably only willing to give their limited trust because of Mo Li's intervention.

But Ear Cheng Shi heard these words, they had a completely different meaning.

The proposition of appearance versus essence was just taught to me by my own Lord of Grace, so this [Deception] Believer on the stage seems to have a pretty high score...

He is no ordinary person; in fact, he may very well be the genius he himself claims to be!

A genius who walks the path of Deception!

Ha, how interesting. A genius has gathered countless mediocre people with scores below 2000, wanting to create an organization that can keep up with the genius.

So what exactly is he after?

If it's just for fun, isn't this kind of teasing a bit too low-class?

The room fell An Jing again. For some reason, the moment that should have been filled with fierce rebuttals and heated discussions suddenly went cold. The players looked at each other and chose to remain silent.

Perhaps in the eyes of many, the fall of [Decay] is already a foregone conclusion.

"I know this news is hard to accept for our friends in the 'Decay' movement, but you must understand that while the gods protect Believer, they are also the culprits behind this situation!"

Without their coming, we would not suffer this pain.

So wake up, and don't let the various abilities they bestow upon you blind you.

Humans and gods have never been on the same side!

As soon as he said this, the hall erupted in a thunderous cheer.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, and even sensed Change in Cui Qiushi's aura behind him.

Oh wow, this Fool's Society sounds like... a variant of the Fire Keeper?

He remained silent and did not turn around, his gaze fixed intently on the Stage, waiting for President Gong to continue his performance.

"Everyone, please don't get agitated."

The Fool's Society Stage for mediocre people, not for Stage.

I will not lead you to fight against gods you cannot fight. As I said, I just want you to help each other, fight the snowstorm together, and move forward together, and then try your best to survive.

Those Nothingness and ethereal things are neither worth considering nor necessary for us to consider before we, as ordinary people, have transformed.

I understand that you, my friends who are "Decay," are worried about your situation, but don't forget that you can still break your oath.

And even if we don't break our vows, who says the fall of a god means nothing to us...?

Isn't this an opportunity?

At this point, President Gong's tone began to turn frantic.

"Everyone!"

At the end of the Decay road, the Divine Throne is now empty!

Don't you want to give it a try?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi smiled, having essentially grasped what President Gong meant.

He wanted to become a second "himself" and get a share of the profits from the so-called fall of the gods!

The establishment of the Fool's Society may have been one of his methods for sharing the spoils.

Of course, it's hard to say exactly who the beneficiaries of the Fool's Society are, but the leaked information about the God War has most likely become an excellent opportunity for the Fool's Society to be established.

If it weren't for this incident, perhaps President Gong wouldn't have had such good "material" to share with the ordinary people present.

His impassioned speech continued.

"As I said, geniuses are gifted and they run very fast, but if we work together and advance and retreat together, we might be able to catch up with them and get a bite to eat!"

My information today is a testament to my sincerity. I am sharing this news so that everyone can benefit from this major upheaval!

No matter who we are, as long as we get a share of this pie, it could give Fool's Society sit at the same table and talk on equal terms with other organizations.

With increasing sharing, we will only progress faster than those rigid, outdated institutions and organizations with strict hierarchies!

Once the mediocre members of the Fool's Society shed their mediocre status through unity, we will most likely survive to the end in this game bestowed by the "gods"!

Friends, think it over carefully, this is an opportunity...

It's not available all the time.
