Three People Meet, Talking at a Long Table

Seeing that the two people in front of him showed no signs of fighting, Cheng Shi gradually felt relieved.

But there are just too many things to worry about, and he can't fully immerse himself in seeking the secrets of the gods. For example, what is the current state of those players still hanging on the roof?

Because Hu Xuan's arrival was too coincidental and Afros's appearance was unexpected, Cheng Shi didn't have time to take a look at the Peak Player who were trapped with him.

Taking advantage of the moment, he glanced at the many dead infants on the dome without making a sound.

This confirmed some of his previous suspicions: there weren't actually that many living people in the meeting place of the Fool's Society.

Because the dead infant hanging above the dome, besides himself, was clearly only...

Five?

How can there be five?

Cheng Shi frowned slightly, thinking that Hu Wei, Mo Li, Zhen Xin, Yu Mu together make up four people, so who is the last one?

The person behind the scenes who was accidentally injured while blending into the crowd?

Cheng Shi's interest was piqued again. He wanted to ask, but compared to the "era," these were minor matters. So he looked at Afros again.

Afros immediately understood Cheng Shi's meaning. After all, He was the Emissary of "Filth and Decay" and represented unrestrained desires, so He understood desires all too well. The moment Cheng Shi's thoughts stirred, He had already responded to Cheng Shi's "desires".

"Don't worry about those god chasers."

When I felt your call, I observed them. The reason I kept you conscious is because I always felt that you, my brother, were setting up a scheme.

Now I'm certain, you really are ripping them off. Hmm, very good, that's very tempting.

However, it seems you are more interested in me now, so I certainly won't let these people spoil our fun.

When Miss Sun came down, they were already...

She's already asleep.

"..."

Brother, can you be a little more serious when you talk?

I'm interested in the secrets you're talking about, not you. And I have no ulterior motives towards you...

Cheng Shi's expression froze. He suddenly felt like a lamb caught between two wolves, only able to barely sit at the wolf's table by trying his best to dye his wool the color of the wolf's fur.

"What is a God Chaser? You just called me God Worshipper. Does that sound like we're from two different factions?"

Cheng Shi used his skill in changing the subject to ask this question, but to his surprise, it was not Afros who answered him, but Hu Xuan.

"Throughout the history of the Isle of Hope, there have always been lives that followed in the footsteps of the gods. They became the ultimate Faith that the Becoming a Deity regarded, and these people were called the God Chasers."

Of course, where there are those who aspire to Becoming a Deity, there are also those who steadfastly uphold them. There is a group of people who believe that gods are the meaning of the Cosmos, the creator of everything, and that the entire world revolves around them. Therefore, they resolutely follow the gods and punish all blasphemers. This group is called the God Worshipper.

Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment. He looked at Afros and asked in surprise:

"What kind of God Worshipper am I?"

"At most, I'm a blasphemer," Cheng Shi added in his mind.

Afros laughed heartily:

"No matter what, understanding their will, upholding their Faith, and broadening the path of Faith are what God Worshipper their entire lives doing."

Many of them may not be so devout to the one on the Divine Throne, but they are certainly absolutely devout in their Faith.

"God Worshipper" is a very broad term, and you, my brother, always uphold the Faith you want to uphold, yet you have no covetousness of the Faith.

Therefore, you are a true God Worshipper.

"..."

Fine, I never imagined that one day I, Cheng Shi, would become a believer in God.

"Enough of that. I'm very curious about the era you've mentioned. If I want to learn about it, Afros, what do I need to do in exchange?"

Afros smiled elegantly, offering no reply, but instead flicked his sleeves in invitation:

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find a more comfortable environment."

As they spoke, the phantom of the church assembly hall vanished with a roar, and the three of them surged forward with the intense Tide of desire. Soon, countless houses appeared around them, as if they had arrived in a small town in the Void.

Cheng Shi only found that the Void beneath his feet suddenly solidified, with stone bricks piled up and wooden planks laid out. These seemingly trivial materials were being built and reconstructed right before his eyes, instantly forming a spacious terrace beneath the three of them.

The giant sun representing Hu Xuan quietly hung in the sky, blending into the entire town, seemingly about to fall but not quite, transforming into a setting sun, painting the terrace with a layer of golden color.

Dusk, high pavilion, terrace, gentle breeze.

This place was indeed more beautiful than the church assembly hall where the dead infant had just been hanging, but Cheng Shi's face showed no appreciation, only shock.

Because he had already recognized where this town was!

Isn't that... Dolgo D?!

He looked at Afros with a complicated expression and said, "So, the prison that [Time] has given you is not that Evil Infant Tribunal, but the entire... Dolgo D?"

Afros sat gracefully at the head of the long table on the terrace, nodding with a smile, then shaking his head.

"You can understand it that way simply, but [time] is not the present moment."

My prison is the time I have existed.

Logically speaking, this seems more like a Memory, but existence is such a wondrous thing; Memory is merely the surface, time is the essence!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

He wasn't surprised by this statement, because that's what "Nothingness" is, or rather, in a relative Path of Fate, the meaning of each "He" is corresponding.

"And my brother, the me you see is just my most perfect state during this period of time."

Just as this Eternal Day is prejudiced against my name, it's not that I don't want to acknowledge her as Golis, it's just...

When I become Golis, what I care about will not be all that you see before you, but only Him, and those blasphemers who desecrate Him.

Believe me, you wouldn't want to sit at the same table and talk to someone like me.

"..."

Cheng Shi had no objection to Afros's identity, as long as he didn't use those Filth and Decay methods on her, didn't transform into a woman in front of her, and didn't take off his beautiful clothes, everything else was negotiable...

But Hu Xuan is different. After all, she is not a real "Birth Emissary. As a candidate, will it have any impact on her to sit at the same table with a " Filth and Decay "Emissary?

Cheng Shi glanced casually in Hu Xuan's direction and saw Hu Xuan gracefully pull out a stool and sit down with great interest.

"I think He had foreseen this, which is why He entrusted your 'Relics' to me for safekeeping before you woke up."

This is probably what He wanted to tell me; I guess my Lord wanted me to come and see you.

Perhaps He also wants to know how His former child has fallen into this state.

Hu Xuan's tone was gentle, but her words were sharp.

But Afros was not angry. He simply clapped his hands with a smile, and a line of puppet servants carried plates of exquisitely presented food onto the terrace and placed them on the long table in front of the three of them.

Cheng Shi curled his lip at the sight.

If this can be considered imprisonment...

It's not impossible for someone to imprison themselves.
