"Oh."

If Zhen Yi hadn't said that last sentence, perhaps no one present would have believed what she said.

But that one sentence, "You won't believe me, will you?", made everyone frown and fall into deep thought.

Even Long Jing, who was also a fraudster, fell silent.

When something seems too absurd, it could indeed be a lie.

But when something becomes too outrageous, it can no longer even be considered a lie.

With the scores of Believer of "Prosperity" rising across the board, who would dare to say that "Prosperity" has fallen?

Upon hearing this, neither the "Decay" Believer who had just been denouncing the fall of "Decay" nor the "Prosperity" Believer had been quietly making a fortune were speechless.

How should we evaluate the intelligence provided by "Zhen Yi"?

Regardless of whether it's true or false, most people present only had two words in their minds: Crazy Woman.

Hu Wei clearly knew something that others didn't. Unusually, he didn't question the information "Zhen Yi" provided, but instead frowned deeply and asked Long Jing:

"Long Jing, you two, who approached whom first?"

Long Jing's expression changed, and he immediately understood Hu Wei's meaning. His face darkened as he said:

"Zhen Xin took a part of her Memory, which is why she came to me to deal with that Fate Weaver!"

"..."

Everyone present was intelligent. One advantage of intelligent people is that they understand things very quickly.

Now all the information matches up.

Soon, these Chosen of God all guessed the same thing: perhaps a god had indeed fallen, and it was very likely that [Prosperity] had fallen!

This conclusion is not drawn from the current state of the game and factual evidence, but rather from speculation based on interpersonal relationships.

As we all know, while Path of Fate does not represent a stance, "Sinking" and "Chaos" still carry a "bad" connotation in the minds of players, especially for players of certain Faith who have never been favored by most players from the beginning, such as... "Decay".

And those Peak Player in [Decay] did indeed have very ordinary relationships with everyone else.

Therefore, if it is the case that [Decay] fell and Zhen Xin happened to learn about it, then as the player who is most good at cooperating, she would definitely not give up the opportunity to get a share of the spoils.

However, she probably couldn't profit from the fall of a god on her own, so she would definitely find someone to cooperate with. Even if she needed to gather enough people for a Trials of six, she would find at least five partners. In this way, as long as there was any movement, the others would not be completely unaware.

After all, interpersonal relationships are very flexible in the face of the arrival of the "gods".

Once outsiders find out about something, it can only be kept secret for a short time; the news will soon spread through various unexpected channels.

Of course, this rollout may only be available to Peak Player; ordinary players are not eligible.

This time, however, none of those present had received the news.

That means that Zhen Xin deliberately concealed the news.

As a Peak Player, she wouldn't be unwilling to profit from it, so there are very few reasons for her not to seek cooperation, especially since the fallen ones were [Decay], she has no need to give face to those few [Decay] peak players.

But if it were [Prosperity] that fell, that would be different, because Zhen Xin and the bald man had a fairly good relationship.

It's common knowledge that Zhen Xin and Baldy collaborated. Although Baldy and her sister don't get along, it doesn't prevent them from working together very well.

So is it possible that Zhen Xin is helping her "prosperous" friend... get through a difficult time?

After figuring this out, Mo Li frowned and looked at everyone, asking:

Have you encountered any bald people lately?

The group exchanged glances, remained silent, but their gazes narrowed slightly.

Chen Shu added thoughtfully, "Me neither. I didn't encounter a bald guy, nor that slovenly guy."

Sloppy?

Everyone was taken aback and immediately realized who Chen Shu was referring to. It turned out that "Only Carved Rotten Wood" hadn't been seen for a long time.

So, has something really gone wrong with "Prosperity"?

But why did His Believer benefit when "prosperity" encountered problems?

[Decay] won the God War but generously rewarded the Believer of the opposing side?

Is He... sick?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Mo Li suddenly had a glint in his eyes and silently uttered a word to Hu Wei.

Upon seeing this, Hu Wei's pupils contracted slightly, and he nodded.

They seemed to "know" the inside story.

Seeing the two exchanging glances, Long Jing became even more annoyed. He hadn't caught what Mo Li had said, so he prepared to ask Zhen Yi for an answer. However, Chen Shu was looking around, caught Mo Li's lip movements. So, without any attempt to hide it, in front of everyone and under the gaze of all the attendees, he uttered what the players shouldn't have known:

"[Covenant], you mean the two words 'Covenant', right, Brother Lawyer?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Cheng Shi was delighted. He never imagined that the greatest secret among the gods would be revealed like this.

What surprised him even more was that Chen Shu seemed to have no idea that the "Covenant" existed!

Not only him, but the look of surprise on Long Jing's face also showed that this second-ranked [Deception] was also unaware of the existence of the [Covenant]. Mo Li and Hu Wei, on the other hand, were not surprised at all; they were just surprised that Chen Shu had so directly uttered the word.

"What is the Covenant?" Long Jing asked eagerly.

"This thing..."

Mo Li was about to speak when she was interrupted by "Zhen Yi," who was watching with great interest.

She smiled and looked at Chen Shu, giving him a thumbs up.

"Brother Chen Shu is awesome, that's the [Covenant]!"

Everything you see regarding the rise of "prosperity" Believer is actually...

[The Covenant] is a compensation measure made to [Prosperity] players to fill the vacancy in the divine position!

"!!!"

Everyone looked at "Zhen Yi" in shock, only Chen Shu interjected inappropriately:

"Is this another scam too?"

Zhen Yi laughed until tears streamed down her face, "Otherwise, it must be a lie to you guys."

"..."

Okay, okay, you're acting now, right?

What "Zhen Yi" is saying right now is no longer important. What is important is that everyone has their own thoughts, and they are all silently verifying everything they know.

Hu Wei frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked "Cheng Shi":

"Brother, how much do you remember about the Trials?"

Cheng Shi shook his head with a wry smile, then sighed and said:

"Brother Hu, it's embarrassing, but I really don't remember."

As soon as these words were spoken, some people present immediately changed their expressions.

Long Jing's pupils contracted sharply, but he quickly lowered his head to hide his shock.

On the contrary, Cheng Shi was startled and almost pointed at the other party's nose and started cursing.

No way, how come you're cheating halfway through the performance?!

Where is Zhen Yi?

Where did you take Zhen Yi?

How did the actress who played "Cheng Shi" suddenly become Zhen Xin?!

Cheng Shi was shocked, and Long Jing was also stunned, because what "Cheng Shi" had just said was clearly a lie!

The Master of Deception told the two swindlers that "Cheng Shi" was lying...

That means that "Cheng Shi" still retains his Memory; he remembers everything that happened during the previous Trials!

Long Jing did not make any rash moves. He only glanced cautiously at "Zhen Yi" out of the corner of his eye, while Cheng Shi happened to meet his gaze.

This sudden scrutiny made Cheng Shi's heart skip a beat, and he knew in his heart that something was wrong; the situation had indeed Change again.

The bad news is that the opponent didn't choose to fold but instead called, and the trouble is back.

The good news is that not everyone can see the other person's call; currently, only the second-ranked Deception is qualified to sit at the table.

As for which table they were seated at...

Naturally, it is the table of Deception, rising and falling with the waves of lies, hidden in the undercurrents unseen by the public.

The scam has become even more complicated!
