The Grand Marshal's True Goal!
"There's nothing to apologize for. I'm the one who should apologize. Although I coveted this trial, I really don't have any more information about Trials history to share with you."
However, something suddenly dawned on me: if Hu Wei is right, Eupusca's body was indeed abandoned, then it's quite possible that it's in the territory of [Truth], because the [Desolate Walker] was killed by [Truth]...
"!"
Hu Xuan raised an eyebrow with interest and smiled, "So you're finally willing to share the history you've witnessed with me?"
"Did you guess it, or Mo Li tell you?"
"It was him. He made some subtle inquiries before showing goodwill. Although he didn't say much, I could still get the gist of it from his few words."
So, what they're saying is true, that the "prosperity"... has truly fallen?
Cheng Shi glanced at the others, but instead of responding directly to Hu Xuan, he let her know the result in another way.
"No need to worry, life has not been affected."
Hu Xuan's pupils contracted sharply. She first looked at Cheng Shi with a serious expression, then her expression softened and even her smile became relaxed.
This is him, a player capable of creating miracles.
Her gaze toward Cheng Shi was complex, but within that complex emotion, one could clearly see a hint of expected shock and a hint of affirmation that "you are indeed worthy of me."
Who could have imagined that a player would witness the fall of a god?
No, I should say, who would dare to imagine it?
Hu Xuan put herself in their shoes and thought about it. Even if the thought had just crossed her mind, she would be startled by it, after all, it was about them!
What a shocking, terrifying, and indescribable scene it would be if one of Him were to fall!
The Fate Weaver in front of him simply admitted that he had witnessed this event!
If it were someone else, even another Chosen of God, telling her about this, Hu Xuan might have wondered if it was true. But if it was Cheng Shi, needless to say, it must be true.
Because her own identity is the best proof!
This Fate Weaver used unbelievable methods to mend his own Destiny and graft it onto an Emissary. It could be said that his identity as Emissary was... "created" by him.
Since he "Birth" to Subgod, how can he not also witness the "death" of a True God, especially one who is "prosperous"...?
Ah, life, it seems, is just as fragile as life, regardless of status!
Just as Hu Xuan was still in shock and lost in thought, Cheng Shi suddenly frowned, then raised his head with a gleam in his eyes, nodding repeatedly as if he had realized something:
"I understand!"
I've got it!
I know what the Grand Marshal is plotting.
No wonder. Mo Li's gesture of goodwill was a double reminder. He was not only reminding you to be careful of Hu Wei, but also genuinely trying to tell you about the risks of that Trials.
It seems that Da Yi knew about this all along. No wonder the Grand Marshal said he had to get that item. In my opinion, it is indeed very attractive!
Even more valuable than the body of Desolate Walker!
"?" Hu Xuan's expression finally lost its elegance. In her memory, she had always felt that Cheng Shi was not the riddle-maker of [Destiny], but today, that idea had changed.
Riddlers are really annoying.
Fortunately, Hu Xuan is very straightforward, so she solved the mystery in her own way:
It is said that people with exceptional wisdom can understand things instantly, so they speak very little and do not care whether ordinary people can understand them.
I'm probably just an ordinary person, but if possible, I hope our child can inherit your extraordinary wisdom.
"..."
Cheng Shi's excitement instantly froze on his face.
He jumped in fright, immediately realizing that his vague explanation had upset Sister Xuan, so he rubbed his face and quickly explained in a low voice:
"I don't know if you've heard of this history. The Grand Marshal also said that the second son of [Prosperity], Dizer, received the punishment of separation of body and soul from [Decay]. His body became [Desolate Walker], while his soul became [Gift of Scars].
The [Desolate Walker] is dead, killed by [Truth]. I don't know if its body was truly used and then discarded by [Truth], but I do know one thing...
[Gift of Scars], danger ahead!
Because it suddenly transformed from a person who might have become an Emissary due to wavering Faith into a soul without any support from Subgod!
He once betrayed "Decay," and now "prosperity" has also fallen, and his own body has been seized by "Truth," so he has become a lonely and helpless person!
Think about it, if you had the chance to obtain a soul from Subgod, would you share it with others?
A glint flashed in Hu Xuan's eyes; this time she understood:
"Therefore, Hu Wei's goal is [the Gift of Scars]!"
He used Eupusca as a cover to find an excuse to organize the gathering.
But many people probably already know about this, like you and Mo Li, so he couldn't hide it from his teammates at all. Since he couldn't hide it anyway, why bother?
Cheng Shi chuckled:
"I don't think it's necessarily a waste of time. Only when the benefits are big enough can these Chosen of God ones be persuaded to take action."
I think he must have obtained extremely certain information through special channels before he wanted to take the risk, but the search process is probably extremely dangerous, and may even require people to pay with their lives!
Remember Yu Mu I mentioned before?
"That [Decay] Hunter wasn't let go?"
"Yes, players from the [Decay] faction have always been disliked. I've always wondered why the Grand Marshal cares so much about him, and now that I think about it..."
Cheng Shi, but Hu Xuan understood. She said thoughtfully:
"He's far more suited than anyone else to fill the life-threatening pits in the Trials..."
Cheng Shi nodded, his gaze slightly lowered.
"I'm afraid that's the case."
The Grand Marshal is a righteous man, but all of this righteousness only happens when you have no relevant interests with him.
But now, the interests are too intertwined and too enormous, so we must be careful, and this is probably one of the reasons why Mo Li reminded us.
This First Assistant Secretary seems like someone I could make a friend with..."
Hu Xuan glanced at everyone thoughtfully and slowly nodded.
After Long Jing left, he said something to Mo Li, and soon the scene fell An Jing again.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Hu Wei came to the center of the field again and said:
"It's almost time, we should set off."
He casually took out a round clock and stuck it in the ground, gathering everyone in front of it.
The second hand on the clock ticked away, and soon it would be 12 o'clock.
Of course, it was already midnight, so the time on this watch was not accurate at all; it was just to provide a standard for everyone to pray at the same time.
