"Very good, it seems everyone is interested. In that case, I won't hide it from you."

What we're looking for tonight is a Decay, rotting body!

A Decay shell?

Everyone was taken aback by what they heard, but Da Yi remained calm, clearly already knowing Hu Wei's plan for tonight.

Mo Li frowned and said, "[Decay] has not perished, so how can we find its body?"

Hu Wei smiled and shook his head, saying:

"It is not His body, Mo Li. Curb your ambition. How could a divine remnant possibly be coveted by us players?"

However... in a way, it can also be considered a divine remnant.

It's merely a remnant of Subgod!

" From the Subgod!?"

Everyone was shocked to hear this. Cheng Shi's gaze narrowed slightly. He seemed to have guessed something, but his knowledge told him that the being should not be abandoned. So he remained silent and continued to listen.

"He was once the heir of [Prosperity], and later became the Emissary of [Decay], but because of his great ambition, he was discovered by [Decay], and so His Lord of Grace punished him with the separation of his body and soul!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyes widened in shock, because he recognized that the Subgod"Hu Wei was referring to was none other than Upska, the " Desolate Walker "Eupusca!

Before He broke His oath, He was the second son of [Prosperity], who was given the Divine Name [Crown of Unobscured Brilliance], Dizer!

That's it!

But how could it be?

Hasn't [Truth] merged with the body of Eupusca and thus inherited the [Prosperity]'s [Covenant] right to exercise its voting rights?

How could it possibly have become a forgotten, Decay shell?

This news about my good brother... could it be fake?

But judging from his confident demeanor, he didn't seem to think he had been deceived.

So, who told him this news?

The source of information that could inspire such unwavering faith in a Chosen of God could not possibly be... them?

Has there been another Change among the gods?!

Upon realizing this, Cheng Shi's pupils contracted sharply, but fortunately, everyone was shocked, so his expression didn't seem out of place.

Mo Li clearly knew of Eupusca's existence, and he spoke with equal shock:

"Your goal is Eupusca?"

Could it be that this [Desolate Walker] was caught in the crossfire of the God War?

"Affected? No, it was right in the center of the battlefield. Although I don't know what it went through, but..."

As he spoke, Hu Wei glanced at Cheng Shi with a hint of regret, as if lamenting that his brother hadn't lost his Memory.

"But I'm sure it's dead. Eupusca has lost the last bit of life consciousness in its body and has become a completely dead body!"

Moreover, thanks to my intelligence network, I also know where its body was left behind!

And that's our target tonight!

As soon as Hu Wei finished speaking, Mo Li frowned. He glanced thoughtfully at the Grand Marshal, seemingly having some idea of Hu Wei's true purpose.

Da Yi remained calm and composed. As a member of this gathering camp, he had likely clashed with Hu Wei about this matter more than once, so he naturally knew everything that was going on.

Long Jing frowned, but it was all an act. He didn't detect anything wrong, so he could only secretly observe Cheng Shi's reaction.

Cheng Shi didn't understand either, but he had already taken in everyone's reactions, so he pretended to understand and nodded.

Hu Xuan smiled throughout. She neither offered any information nor expressed her own opinions, like the sun that is both beautiful and unattainable, yet out of place.

But to others, this posture made it seem as if he had seen through everything, which made Long Jing even more puzzled after observing everyone's expressions.

Oh no, a conman has become the person who understands the others the least.

This is no longer Acrobat, it's more like Clown!

However, Hu Wei did not say everything, but some things can only be left unsaid. Since there is something the Grand Marshal wants in this Trials, he naturally cannot say it so clearly. Otherwise, in the unrestrained temporary team, no one can guarantee that others will not compete with him for it.

Therefore, Hu Wei's purpose in setting up this scheme was not to get everyone to work together to divide the treasure equally, but to find a group of henchmen with the same interests and goals, so that he could have as many helpers as possible around him.

What he was concealing could only be something more important than the so-called "Subgod remnant"!

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became strange. Although everyone was deep in thought, they were always glancing at others out of the corner of their eyes.

No one can say for sure how many difficulties one will encounter in a Trials initiated by Chosen of God, so preparation before the Trials is necessary.

For Peak Player, their preparations are more focused on people than on objects.

Hu Wei was adept at organizing events and knew this well. He knew that some things couldn't be rushed, so he didn't urge him. He simply smiled and recited the prayer for the Trials.

[Faith Game] has never had rules for multiplayer group matchmaking, but that doesn't stop players who are determined to find loopholes.

Shortly after the game's release, many people discovered that if several familiar people prayed for the exact same Trials at the same time, they would have a chance to be matched into the same game.

This is also why Cheng Shi only encountered three of the Fire Keeper when he met them Cheng Shi.

They actually mobilized many members to pray together, but only Fang Shiqing and her two companions made it into that round.

Therefore, no one can guarantee that everyone who prays at the same time will be matched into the same game. That's why Hu Wei gives everyone time to communicate and think in advance about how to deal with being matched with different teammates.

As for the Grand Marshal, all he could do was recruit more people who were somewhat trustworthy, but in the end, how many he could actually match was entirely up to fate.

"We need to pray to [war] for this Trials, so you should all know that this will be a tough battle."

The prayer is as follows:

How to survive? Only through Blood and Fire.

Oh, war that tramples everything! I am a passerby struggling outside the battlefield, shocked by the violence and cruelty before my eyes. I pray to you to begin a Trials...

A Trials that will witness the rebellion of Pelaya, the Tower of Reason, throughout the Civilization Era...!

After he finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to everyone, then walked towards Da Yi.

That clearly meant to tell everyone that we had something to discuss, and that they were free to discuss it as well.

However, judging from the situation on the field, it seems that only Long Jing and Mo Li are in a slightly awkward position, since the other four all have a "trustworthy" teammate.

But situations are always unpredictable, and no one can predict which individuals will be brought together by a Trials.

To everyone's surprise, shortly after the Grand Marshal departed, Long Jing shamelessly sat down next to Cheng Shi and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, as if explaining something to everyone:

"Um... there are some things to note about the contract, Brother Cheng, let me explain them to you in detail."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that it had finally arrived. He did not refuse but nodded, and then he saw Long Jing set up a transparent Curtain -like thing between the two of them.

As soon as the object landed, all the sounds outside disappeared, and inside the Curtain, only the two swindlers were left staring at each other!

"How should I address you, my... fellow traveler?"

Long Jing's smile remained unchanged, but his tone was filled with gritted teeth.

Cheng Shi chuckled inwardly, but he had no choice but to continue the act. Although the Curtain could isolate the sounds from inside and outside, his appearance and movements were being "live-streamed." So, instead of responding immediately, he first took out the contract, placed it on the ground, and pretended to point at it before slowly saying:

"I am Cheng Shi, the real Cheng Shi."

Upon hearing this, Long Jing's pupils constricted and his expression changed drastically.

This wasn't because the Master of Deception told him it was the truth, but because Cheng Shi had unknowingly hidden the Tongue of Lies under the contract, and at this moment, the Fate Weaver pointed to himself and then to him in front of him.

The meaning is clear: the game of the Tongue of Lies has begun, and now, no one can tell a lie!
