Behind the Scenes of the Stage

What does 1 point mean?

"I have no idea."

"You don't know?" Qin Xin's smile froze as he realized the seriousness of the situation. "It's related to [Destiny]?"

"I don't know either."

"Then let's talk about what you know." At this moment, the pragmatic style of the Fire Keeper came into play again. Qin Xin stood with his arms crossed, his brows slightly furrowed.

After hesitating for a long time, An Mingyu slowly began to speak, carefully choosing his words:

"First of all, I can confirm that things concerning Cheng Shi can be predicted."

He contacted me not long ago, implying that I should make a prediction about the fall of [Prosperity]. After talking with Xin Xin, I did not do that, but instead made a prediction for Cheng Shi.

You should know that you cannot easily make prophecies about the gods, so the content of my last prophecy was whether what Cheng Shi said was related to him.

I didn't see anything, but the points I received were..."

Seeing An Mingyu's increasingly serious face, Qin Xin raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"Full marks."

"22:00?"

"No, it's all 17 Dice in my hand that are maxed out."

"..." Qin Xin's expression finally changed, a rare look of shock appearing on his face. He pointed to the ceiling and said, "You mean His fall... is related to him? Related to a player?"

"So I said... I don't know."

I made two prophecies about him, and these two prophecies represented two extremes, rendering all previous experience and guidance meaningless..."

What exactly is your second prophecy?

"That is what you mean by an audience."

I wanted to know if he had been called by my Lord, but the answer my Lord gave was complete darkness and Nothingness, and...

A 1 on the Destiny Dice.

"Based on my understanding of you Prophet, a single point signifies absolute negation. So, is it possible that Destiny has already provided the answer?"

An Mingyu looked at Qin Xin with an annoyance, as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Although I am not proud of this, Qin Xin, please take a close look. Standing in front of you is the highest-scoring Prophet in this game."

"As the Chosen of God of [Destiny], I suppose I have more authority to speak on the matter than you do regarding the rolls of the Dice?"

"..."

"This is definitely not a normal point. You need to know that Destiny is full of Change, and no one can be certain that something will not happen."

"Predestination will only be revealed in the end... So, whose end will this be?" An Mingyu frowned and pondered as he spoke.

Qin Xin was embarrassed, and he shook his head with a smile.

"Never mind, if we don't know, we don't know. Whether he has met with [Destiny] or not, it doesn't diminish his kindness to us, the Fire Keeper."

With the fall of [Prosperity], it seems that everyone will soon be mobilized. If the Fire Keeper want to continue their God Creation Plan, the best way is to find inspiration in their funerals.

Of course, I'm not sure if he had a real funeral, but I think that these people chasing after his Relics might be a way of 'paying homage' to him.

I'm not sure what information Hu Wei them in advance, but the Fire Keeper should get moving.

I will send out a mission after I return this time. As long as we find some of His 'Relics' before everyone knows about these things, we won't lose too much.

However, I still can't help but remind you and Zhen Xin of something:

Even if it's all about using Zhen Yi as a pawn... letting her know too much isn't necessarily a good thing.

That's right, Zhen Yi set the stage!

This game of the Fool's Society was not orchestrated by Zhen Yi and Long Jing, but by the Fire Keeper and Zhen Xin!

After Zhen Xin took away all of Cheng Shi's Memory from Zhen Yi's mind, the matter of the Fire Keeper was completely exposed to her.

And that's why the Blind Man was able to find Qin Xin.

She wasn't Fire Seeker Qin Xin sought out; she came to him on her own.

As for why Zhen Xin and the Blind Man cooperated with the Fire Keeper, it was because Zhen Xin heard from the Blind Man of this organization that he had made a prophecy about the future of the Fire Keeper from the very beginning.

And in this prophesied future scene, she saw herself and Zhen Xin.

So they decided to approach the Fire Keeper and align themselves with their Destiny.

After hearing the prophecy, Qin Xin, unusually, did not delve into the motives of the two people. He simply consulted a "person" and asked if the cooperation was possible.

The "person" gave an affirmative answer, but offered no further advice.

So Qin Xin decided to take the risk and give it a try.

Because the current Fire Keeper is too weak, he urgently needs someone to assist him. A Prophet can see through "Destiny" can undoubtedly help them avoid a lot of trouble.

So he also said that the two sides were just cooperating, and sooner or later they would "break up".

How to expand the Fire Keeper before the breakup became Qin Xin's most pressing concern.

Returning to the issue of setting up the scheme, after the Blind Man obtained some information from Cheng Shi and verified it with Zhen Xin, they deduced a bold guess, which was the fall of "prosperity" that Cheng Shi mentioned.

However, this information could not be verified, so they set up a scheme, giving Zhen Yi some fragmented Memory and then letting Zhen Yi investigate the matter out of curiosity.

Ironically, Zhen Yi was going to the Fool's Society, and Zhen Xin had given Cheng Shi an invitation card to the Fool's Society in advance. So the two of them, along with the Fire Keeper who were most eager to receive news from the gods, set up a scheme at the Fool's Society.

The first targets to be "tricked" are Zhen Xin's alternate personality sister Zhen Yi, and the clueless Clown, Cheng Shi.

Zhen Yi always thought she was the protagonist of this gathering of mediocre people, so she contacted her "good friend" Long Jing and together they set up a "small scheme" in the grand scheme set up by Zhen Xin.

And the target of this scheme... is the completely unaware Clown, Cheng Shi.

In short, they tricked the clueless Clown Cheng Shi.

To simplify further: Clown Cheng Shi.

But no one expected that before this game within a game ended, the real Clown would turn out to be the one who orchestrated it, and everyone who wanted to seize information in this game would become the Clown instead.

The events that followed at the meeting led Zhen Xin, the Blind Man, and Qin Xin to basically confirm the news of the fall of [Prosperity].

Because Cheng Shi's lack of questioning and criticism represented an attitude in their eyes, that is, he himself was willing to accept the consequences of Zhen Yi impersonating him, which also showed that he had already been "mentally prepared" for the fall of [Prosperity].

Thus, the Fire Keeper's God Creation Plan was launched, and the first step was to find the Relics of [Prosperity].

That's why Qin Xin issued that reminder. He simply didn't want Zhen Yi to guess what was going on between them through clues, so as not to cause a fatal blow to the existence of the Fire Keeper.

An Mingyu nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, Xin Xin has taken away all of Zhen Yi's Memory related to the [Prosperity] speculation. She only left behind a few clues. Otherwise, with Zhen Yi's intelligence, she would not have been tricked into this."

"Should I say, 'No one knows a sister better than her sister'?"

From this perspective, having a secondary personality can indeed be convenient in certain situations.

"Convenient?

If this happened to you, you definitely wouldn't think that way.

They were sisters, but also rivals, and rivals who knew each other well...

Qin Xin's expression turned strange for a moment. He thought about what it would be like if another version of himself appeared, and then, for some reason, he burst into laughter.

"Having an opponent is good, but let's not talk about that anymore."

Next comes the moment to erase Memory.

Mingyu, although you're just an unofficial Fire Seeker, but regarding this Memory...

An Mingyu interrupted him directly, saying, "Take it out."

Qin Xin nodded appreciatively, then took out two brand-new vials of remembrance and mourning.

"You're quite generous. This thing is extremely valuable. Aren't you afraid I'll resell it and let Xin Xin continue to have this Memory?"

Qin Xin smiled brightly, "I believe you."

With just those three words, An Mingyu's smile vanished. She solemnly nodded and accepted the two vials of remembrance, but then she chuckled and said, "There's something I've always been very curious about."

Qin Xin an eyebrow. "Speak."

"From shrouding the venue in a dreamlike atmosphere, to generating player projections within these Memory, and then to the various Memory -erasing abilities you've used..."

If I'm not mistaken, you seem to always rely on tools to control the power of [Memory].

Where did you get so many [Memory] props, Qin Xin?

Qin Xin seemed completely unsurprised by the question, and he laughed heartily, saying, "You may have forgotten that I have an Erudite Poet who Fire Seeker."

"Yes, Erudite Poet is certainly helpful to your abilities, but I would like to say that your tools are not limited to just pages of books."

As a Believer in [Memory], why do you resist directly using the power of [Memory]?

What are you hiding?

And that mysterious Top Rank on the current "Memory" list, is it really not you, Still Like in a Dream?

Hearing this, Qin Xin smiled happily.

"Of course it wasn't me, because I..."

It's not on the list you mentioned.
