The So-Called Opportunity

Chance.

President Gong mentioned the opportunity, and this opportunity is the most crucial part of this intelligence.

Even if [Decay] truly falls, then without a doubt, the gods will be the first to seize its Divine Authority.

In Cheng Shi's view, with the intervention of the Covenant, it might not matter whether "Decay" is dead or not, just like "Prosperity," even if it dies, the "Faith Game" will still function normally.

Therefore, from his perspective, the fall of a god would not benefit the player at all, unless they are like the Big Cat, with a god backing them and having "clung" to the identity of an Emissary in advance. Only in this way can they inherit His Divine Authority.

But the ordinary people present couldn't even know about the "Covenant," so how could they find an opportunity in the fall of a god?

Everyone's curiosity was piqued. It must be said that President Gong was very good at controlling the pace of the speech. Perhaps all his previous preparations were for this moment, to make this opportunity public.

He paced around the Stage, speaking passionately as he went:

"Friends, feel free to use your imagination and think about what kind of chain reaction would occur if a god were to fall."

First, everyone needs to reach a consensus on one thing: the gods are openly plundering each other's Divine Authority. So it's easy to guess that the Divine Authority of "Decay" has been completely plundered by the gods, and "prosperity" has taken the lion's share.

But for them, perhaps only Divine Authority is what they desire most. But how can a god only have Divine Authority?

When He falls, will the gods take everything else from Him?

I don't think so!

This is not my imagination, but my friend's firsthand testimony!

He told me that during that God War, he couldn't see the real battlefield, nor could he feel the power of the gods, but he was certain he saw one thing clearly: before [Decay] fell, something overflowing with boundless [Decay] power fell from the Blood Rot Tomb!

Something fell out of the Blood Rot Tomb?

Cheng Shi was stunned when he heard this. He wondered if President Gong was telling the truth or not.

If it is true, when was it? Could it be when the Decay frenzy broke out deep in the Sighing Forest?

So, when [Decay] fought against [Prosperity], did [Rotten] really lose all its gold coins?

Hiss—it's not impossible, after all, with its own offerings, [Prosperity] invaded [Decay]'s private territory and plundered His Faith.

When gods clash, even the Divine Majesty forces that fly out might appear as a spectacular sight to players.

Just as Cheng Shi was wondering, he looked down at Hu Wei and Mo Li in the front row. On Hu Wei's face, he clearly saw a trace of solemnity and seriousness.

How?

It seems that his good older brother also knows about this?

Could this really be true?

But... what kind of development is this?

Seeing the surface and guessing the essence incorrectly, in the end, the answer is still correct?

Ah?

Therefore, President Gong's ultimate goal was to mobilize the Fool's Society to find the thing that fell out of the Blood Rot Tomb!

That makes sense.

A glint flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he silently lowered his head.

Once you know the scammer's true purpose, you can relax and enjoy the rest of the show.

The audience kept asking questions, but President Gong on stage didn't keep them in suspense and quickly shared this most important piece of information for the evening "for free".

"You don't need to guess anymore, I'll tell you the answer."

The item that fell is most likely His...

"Divine Body!"

"Divine Body?!"

"Bullshit, utter bullshit! Do you even know what you're saying? Even if [Prosperity] defeated [Decay] with the help of the gods, how could they possibly allow [Decay]'s body to be left behind, especially in front of a player!?"

"That's right, President Gong, it seems like your friend is lying to you."

"..."

President Gong laughed heartily upon hearing these questions, but he did not stop there. Instead, he continued to explain:

"The Divine Body I speak of is not a real, Decay body."

The gods are not ordinary beings; no one knows whether they are a collection of wills or higher-dimensional beings.

I have always believed that they are visible to us because they have found a vessel in reality to carry the will of the gods.

Therefore, the Divine Body I am referring to is the divine vessel that we humans can see.

And [Decay]... has such a carrier.

His vessel was an extremely aged and decaying giant, a fact I believe Your First Assistant Minister has heard.

Cheng Shi couldn't see Mo Li's expression, but he saw Mo Li nod, confirming President Gong's statement.

Then, gasps of surprise erupted again in the hall.

"President Gong, do you mean it's possible for us to find the body of this deity?"

"Divine Body, could it hold the secret to becoming a god?"

"Become... a god?"

President Gong laughed heartily and shook his head, saying:

"Gentlemen, you're overthinking it."

If such a good opportunity existed, the geniuses would have already divided it up.

We must remember that we are ordinary people, and we cannot be overly ambitious in today's increasingly difficult world. Admittedly, what has fallen may very well be His vessel in the Mortal World, but a vessel capable of containing the will of a god is not something we can covet.

What we need is not a complete corpse, but some 'fragments' that fell off the corpse during the fierce battle of the God War!

Friends, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

If Fool's Society can find a fragment of their own body amidst this upheaval, the opportunities contained within would be enough to sustain them on their journey.

And I must remind you all that the more precious the thing you pray for, the more difficult the Trials will be. So how can you and I possibly seize a divine relic?

That's impossible.

Therefore, our target is the debris that crumbled from the corpse of that god, a lost treasure containing the power of [Decay]!

This is the reason I've gathered you all here.

At this point, President Gong suddenly paused and stopped speaking.

With a casual wave of his hand, countless doors opened between each row, and then, amidst the shock and confusion of the crowd, he smiled and said:

"Next, it will be a sharing session within the Fool's Society."

I do know exactly when and where that Divine Body fell. With clear guidance in time and space, I believe that the Fool's Society definitely gain something.

But I also know that not everyone believes me, and I don't force it.

Having said all that, I believe the information I've provided is worthy of your presence tonight. As for what follows, those interested in joining the Fool's Society can wait a moment; we'll discuss the grand plan of finding the gods later.

And those of you who do not believe me, now you may leave in peace."

Looking at the passageway where the audience was leaving, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

This President Gong truly possesses great courage and vision.

Even if most of the information he has tonight is false, the information about gods and their Chosen of God mixed in with that false information is enough to make the "courage" ticket that ordinary people pay.

Unfortunately, he was unmoved by the organization set up by the scammers.

So Cheng Shi prepared to leave.

But just as he and Cui Qiushi behind him stood up at the same time, his steps suddenly stopped.

No... Would a conman, and a shrewd conman who had planned this all along, just let the source of the fun leave unscathed?

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he looked solemnly at the golden and jade gate not far in front of him.
