The One Called Fool's Play

Hu Wei was lifted down from the Subgod steps by a giant hand formed from Chaos Yellow Mist.

The moment he came down, Da Yi quickly put his phone away, and even secretly glanced at Ultraman, afraid that he would discover his wicked sense of humor.

He had thought that an Emissary, especially Emissary close to them, would at least not be so boring.

But he was wrong. He glanced to the side and saw the adult behind him looking at him with a half-smile. Da Yi's mind went blank for a moment. After realizing what was happening, he immediately lowered his head and tried to play dead to get away with it.

Cheng Shi suppressed a laugh, not exposing him, and looked at Hu Wei was gradually regaining consciousness.

Hu Wei's face darkened. Although he had no idea what he had done on the steps, when he realized that he had failed after only taking five steps, he looked back at the path leading to the Temple. His eyes were filled with nothing but shock and even a little fear, in addition to his unwillingness.

The long staircase had nearly a thousand steps, but he hadn't even started. He could feel that the way human life existed was limiting him from continuing. But the question was, even with His blessing, couldn't he take a few more steps on this Chaos Divine Steps?

Do we have to transcend humanity and become like them to reach the summit?

Who can walk down these Long Stairway?

Hu Wei a complicated expression, accepting the fact that he would not have the chance to see his Lord of Grace today. He turned to look at Cheng Shi, a hint of eager Envy flashing in his eyes.

If it were this person, perhaps they could go all the way in one go?

After all, He was one of them, even if He was only from Subgod, He was still God!

Cheng Shi, of course, had no idea what Hu Wei was thinking. Seeing that the other party had recovered from his dejection so quickly, he nodded with feigned satisfaction and said:

"Indeed, reaching the fifth level with a human body is enough to demonstrate your talent."

As expected of being the darling of chaos.

"!!!" Hu Wei's eyes lit up for a moment. What? He had already gained the adults' approval at the fifth level?

So it seems I'm not so bad after all; it's just that my human body is limiting me!

Hearing this, Da Yi looked even more remorseful.

He kept cursing himself in his heart: Why did he have to use Flash? Why did he have to do something so weird? Why couldn't he just walk properly? Now look what happened, Old Hu has become the darling of [Chaos], and what about him?

Heh, just a Clown randomly flashes around in a chaotic manner.

Seeing that the two men's expressions were getting increasingly strange, Cheng Shi knew he couldn't let them think about it any longer. So he coughed lightly and changed the subject, officially bringing this journey up the stairs to a close.

"They are beginning to revive."

It was that familiar starting stance again; Cheng Shi was extremely familiar with this Cheng Shi.

He hadn't wanted to reveal too much of his plans in this chaotic setting, but now he'd changed his mind.

Since the chaos has given him this opportunity, and this time he wasn't forced to admit his Ultraman identity, he might as well vaguely agree, take back this disguise, and do something for himself.

Regardless of His plans or whether His purpose is to drag Him away from the "Nothingness," the key is to be greedy when there are benefits, and only think about what to do in the future when you can no longer be greedy.

If the sky falls, your Lord of Grace will hold it up; if your Lord of Grace can't hold it up anymore... changing jobs isn't out of the question.

Cheng Shi became more aware that he couldn't gamble his entire future on his two Lord of Grace, [Nothingness].

[Deception] The purpose is unclear, [Destiny] is ultimately Nothingness. Perhaps neither of these paths is what he wants to take. Although he doesn't know what path he will take besides getting Old Jia the top scholar Top Scholar, it's better to be prepared.

Therefore, while you still have the power to borrow from external forces, you might as well show goodwill by being recruited by the outside world and become a Clown walks among the gods rather than just performing under the noses of two gods.

This might be better for everyone.

Of course, if the Lord of Grace asks about these things, one should only speak with piety.

After all, I, Cheng Shi, never lie.

"Them!?"

Sure enough, the first sentence stunned Hu Wei and Da Yi. Da Yi had actually heard these things before, but a reset of [time] had turned him back into a "Xiao Bai" who knew nothing.

"That's right, it's them." Cheng Shi smiled and continued mysteriously, "The Eternal Day has been redeemed, the Gate of Joyful Desire has been opened again, the Fear Mother Tree is deeply rooted in the Sea of Desire, and even Dizer ... this former [Crown of Unobscured Brilliance] has begun the path of revival."

The Subgod, forgotten in history, have once again stepped onto the Stage of the times. Each has their own desires, but their ultimate goal is simply to withstand the tide of the era's end.

Da Yi's gaze sharpened, clearly recalling the Herobas that Ultraman had forbidden him from provoking during the previous Trials.

So He is one of the Emissary are about to be revived...

Hu Wei was clearly familiar with some of them, but he felt that the master's intentions did not seem to lie in the identities of these Emissary. So he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Sir, is the era you are referring to different from the era we understand?"

See, he really is Grand Marshal; his hearing is so sharp.

Cheng Shi nodded with a smile:

"Indeed, times are moving forward. Before the collapse of [Nothingness], everyone wants to accumulate enough Chip, and I am no exception."

The deeper meaning of this is beyond your current comprehension, but it's never wrong to draw closer to the "Nothingness."

The two nodded as if they understood, savoring every word spoken by Ultraman.

"Approaching [Destiny] is just one of many plans. It's a new attempt, and I can accomplish it myself."

But "Nothingness" isn't just about "Destiny," it also includes...

"Deception!" Hu Wei and Da Yi exclaimed in unison.

"That's right, [Deception]!"

He is far more unpredictable than Destiny, and if we want to find some new Chip in the tides of this era, we cannot refuse to approach Him.

As I said, they have begun to revive, and [Deception] once had an Emissary was lost in a distant era. Judging from the recent reactions in [Nothingness], He...

They'll probably be back soon.

"!!!" Da Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, "The Subgod of the [Nothingness]?"

Cheng Shi smiled mysteriously, "Yes, the [Nothingness] of the Subgod."

"Hiss--"

It should be noted that, in the players' understanding, there has never been any news of any Subgod the Nothingness. Even the History School has not been able to find a single clue or historical fragment about them.

Therefore, this news was undoubtedly explosive for the two "chaotic" Believer in front of them.

Hu Wei frowned, his eyes narrowing slightly. He knew that Ultraman never spoke without reason, so if they had come this far, it meant that their next mission was probably related to this [Nothingness] Subgod.

The unknown means troublesome. No matter what the task is, as long as it involves those who have never heard of them before, it is unlikely to be simple.

However, Hu Wei wasn't afraid; he was thinking about what resources he had that could effectively help him complete the task of getting closer to the [Nothingness]. But after thinking it over, he could only think of three people.

Three players who are [Nothingness].

One is Zhen Xin, a Magician who is very good at teamwork; another is the Blind Man, a rather mysterious Prophet; and as for the last one...

To be honest, Hu Wei was thinking of Cheng Shi.

Although all the Cheng Shi he has encountered so far have turned out to be fake due to unforeseen circumstances, he still thinks of his brother after being constantly reminded.

He had a keen eye for people; the first time he was matched with someone, he knew that the other person was definitely not an ordinary player. However, things developed too quickly afterward, and he didn't even have a chance to reunite with his brother Cheng before being tricked by one fake Cheng Shi after another.

Sigh, no wonder he's Believer in "Destiny"; his Destiny is quite complicated. I wonder what this good brother, already targeted by Ultraman, is doing right now...

Cheng Shi had no idea what Hu Wei was thinking. He was quite comfortable using the Ultraman identity, and it would be a shame not to let his good older brother do some work for him.

So he continued:

"I know some of His stories, and I know that He is collecting His own Mask."

"Hmm? Mask? My lord, do you mean that this [Deception] Emissary lost His Mask?"

"No, it involves many things and is difficult to explain clearly. You can understand it as his Mask shattering into many pieces, and when He retrieves all the Mask fragments, He..."

They will return.

Hu Wei nodded, understanding.

Since Chaos wants to get closer to Nothingness, and the Master is trying to get closer to Destiny, the next task must be to find the Mask Fragment Emissary this Deception so as to get closer to Deception.

In that case, we might really have to deal with the History School, since no one can compare to them in their ability to find historical traces.

It seems I should go and meet her.

Da Yi had guessed as well. He silently remembered what the master said, and then asked curiously, "Master, what is the Divine Name of this [Nothingness] Subgod...?"

Cheng Shi said, "That's a good question!"

He smiled and said mysteriously:

"He is called 'Fool's Game,' the 'Fool's Game' that Fool's Game all beings."
