Actors in Place, the Script Begins

"Alright, alright, the story is over, now it's time for a new one to begin."

Hu Wei must have guessed that you killed his friend, but after today, after you saved his life, perhaps your relationship will improve.

Although this Grand Marshal was not a good person, in some ways...

He is indeed more trustworthy than some people who don't tell the truth.

However, I must remind you that this trust is only valid when you have no vested interests with him.

Never trust anyone.

"Including you?"

"..." Cheng Shi was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to say, "I'm not lying, how can you not believe me?" But after thinking about it, he solemnly said, "Including me."

Hu Xuan glanced at Cheng Shi moment, and the aura of "Birth" emanating from her body subtly intensified.

She nodded slightly, as if she hadn't heard Cheng Shi's words, and only responded to the instructions regarding Hu Wei:

"It doesn't matter. What he thinks is none of my business. This is not because of my arrogance, but because my Lord of Grace is different. I don't need to be afraid of what will happen to his Lord of Grace."

Because [war]... it's unique, yes, unique, completely different from what I had imagined."

Cheng Shi carefully considered the sentence, and seemed to have thought of something, nodding slightly in agreement.

The two then exchanged a glance and fell silent. Cheng Shi felt the time was right, so he gave an awkward chuckle and quickly snapped his fingers with his hand behind his back.

The crisp snap of the fingers was like the clapperboard being struck by the script supervisor, getting the "entire crew" moving.

The moment the sound faded, the entire phantom of the Church of Dolgo D vanished into thin air, and the entire area fell into the boundless black Void. The dead infants overhead slowly descended and gradually spaced out, leaving enough room between the different [Birth] cages.

To conceal his presence, Cheng Shi had already reverted to the [Destiny] Faith. At this moment, he took out the blood plasma from his personal space, sprinkled it on himself, and casually flicked some onto Hu Xuan. Then, he took out a slightly wider soft whip and began to lash himself.

He was faking whip marks to fake the devastation of a battle, but Hu Xuan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw it.

"If you have some strange quirks..."

"No, thank you!" Cheng Shi said firmly. After slapping himself, he glanced up at Hu Xuan and asked, "Do you... need one?"

Hu Xuan's smile was playful, her expression clearly saying, "You still say you didn't?"

Cheng Shi twitched his lips and withdrew the soft whip. Seeing that he had finished his preparations, Hu Xuan lowered her gaze and, without doing anything, saw the aura of "Birth" on her body suddenly weaken. The incredibly real feeling was as if her spirit had been drained by some terrifying invisible force.

On the contrary, just as Hu Xuan lost her mind, the giant sun in the Void became even more solid.

Cheng Shi was startled. Seeing his shocked expression and pale face, Hu Xuan explained:

"I returned the power to the Eternal Day, which is an ability derived from receiving His approval. When the Eternal Day solidifies, the power of my flesh and blood will be somewhat depleted."

Don't worry, the power has never disappeared, it has just changed its Vessel.

"Come on, my leading man, it's time for you to take the stage."

As Hu Xuan spoke, she dispelled the giant sun phantom behind her. Apart from Cheng Shi and a few other people who knew the truth, no one else knew that she could truly become the Eternal Day. Therefore, even if it was to keep a trump card up her sleeve, she would not expose the giant sun to others.

Cheng Shi aware of this, so when he wrote the script, Ju Ri was never included.

As for the phenomenon of the giant sun radiating light when Hu Xuan descended, he had already found a reasonable explanation for it.

Everything is ready, and the show is about to begin.

After exchanging a glance with Hu Xuan, just as the restless shadow tentacles beneath the Void were about to erupt, Cheng Shi suddenly mustered all his strength and ran towards the nearest dead infant.

He rushed forward and tore open the dead infant's skin in front of him, pulling out the player who was trapped inside.

Of course, he wasn't the one actually doing the work, because even if Golis herself relaxed her power, the Emissary's restraints were not something Mortals could tear open with flesh and blood. So it was Golis who released the players inside; Cheng Shi was just putting on a show.

But the key to this play is just putting on a show!

To win everyone's favor, Cheng Shi must become the one who saves people!

Upon seeing that the player who had been arrested was none other than his good older brother, Hu Wei, Cheng Shi felt certain.

It's in the bag! This one's in the bag!

He specifically instructed Afros not to tell him who was imprisoned among these dead infants, but only to have Him drag the dead infant imprisoning the female player to the place furthest away from Him. In this way, Cheng Shi would neither be able to save Zhen Xin, but could also perfectly perform the surprise after the rescue.

Because he didn't know who was inside!

When he saw that the first person he had rescued was Hu Wei, the surprise in his eyes was even more real than if it were real!

But when Hu Wei saw the two of them, he felt not surprise, but shock!

While the three were having a private conversation at the long table, Hu Wei's consciousness suddenly fell into Chaos. It wasn't until Cheng Shi dragged him out of the cage that his consciousness awoke from his confusion.

But the moment he awoke, he did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, he held his breath and unleashed a fierce arc of Blood and Fire at the stranger who appeared beside him!

Sensing the fervor of the war, Cheng Shi was horrified. "Brother Hu, we're on the same side, don't make a move!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Hu Wei not only didn't stop, but instead brought his greatsword down even faster.

Hu Xuan's gaze sharpened. Despite the risk of being killed on the spot, she did not dodge. In the script, she was already exhausted from fighting against Golis's encirclement. As an "excellent" actress, she knew that she could not dodge at this moment, nor could she avoid it.

More importantly, she trusted Cheng Shi; she knew Cheng Shi would never let her die.

Indeed, Cheng Shi couldn't possibly let his good brother kill his right-hand man, but the problem was the way he saved Hu Xuan...

This was quite unexpected for Hu Xuan.

Because at that critical moment, Cheng Shi darted forward, grabbed Hu Wei around the waist, and used his shoulder to push the burly soldier backward:

"Hu Wei! Stop! If you don't stop, we'll all die here!"

Hu Wei frowned as he sensed Cheng Shi's pitifully weak strength. The sword tip deviated slightly as it fell, slashing down with a "boom" past Hu Xuan's left arm.

The roaring flames instantly illuminated the Void. Seeing Hu Xuan covered in blood and with her left arm charred, the Grand Marshal frowned even more deeply.

It's not an illusion!
