They're back, finally back.

Upon opening his eyes this time, Cheng Shi finally confirmed that he had returned to the rooftop of the Rest Area. However, the location of his Prayer Trial was originally the campfire camp where the Grand Marshal was located. Returning to the Rest Area at this time could only be described as borrowing the light of [Chaos].

He slapped himself back.

This is for the best, at least it avoids a lot of trouble from getting entangled with Hu Wei and the other person again.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, then plopped down on the ground. Recalling the moment he had just commanded the Grand Marshal, he felt a sense of exhilaration, but the potential dangers were too great.

He still couldn't figure out the purpose of "chaos," so he could only take it one step at a time in this chaotic drama. Even if he couldn't see the whole picture, he at least needed to know some directions. Otherwise, if he just walked forward blindfolded, he would run into problems sooner or later.

So he began to ponder how he could obtain information about "chaos" from other gods and understand what He really wanted to do.

Cheng Shi's first thought was of his two Lord of Grace, but he doubted that [Deception] would admit it, since He tended to let him merge with [Chaos]. Therefore, he needed to carefully consider whether what He said about [Chaos] was true or false, which would be very taxing on his mind.

[Destiny]... I will speak my mind, but the problem is that in my current situation, I have obviously gone to [Chaos] under a disguise to make some benefits. If He finds out about this blasphemous and disrespectful act... forget it. I can't blaspheme against just one god. I'm Cheng Shi there will be problems.

Aside from the two from [Nothingness], the only one I can actually meet and dare to ask questions to is [Death]. Moreover, I still have the Screaming Count waiting to be dealt with in my Amusement Ring, so I have no choice but to go to meet [Death] this time.

So Cheng Shi decided to find an opportunity to visit the Fishbone Hall.

The idea is good, but it's difficult to implement because...

Xie Yang has really disappeared.

This Believer of [War] has not appeared since his last appearance, and even his Xiao Yuan girl has disappeared. If the regional merger had not failed, Cheng Shi would have thought that he had died in some Trials.

That's weird, where did this guy go?

It's fine if the person disappears, but at least leave me some "legacy"! Where am I supposed to find the body if you're not here?

"..."

Just as Cheng Shi his brains about how to get an audience with that the Great One, a huge door made of bones suddenly opened on the rooftop in front of him.

Countless pale, horrifying hand bones struggled to extend from the Void, tearing a rift in reality. Then, a roaring wave of skulls filled the rift, transforming it into a terrifying and noisy gate to death.

The countless skulls on the door, their tiny, gaping eyes staring at Cheng Shi, chattered incessantly, as if demanding his life:

"Come quickly! Come in quickly! He is waiting for you, He is waiting for you, don't keep Him waiting!"

The chaotic noise was giving him a headache, and Cheng Shi was dumbfounded as he watched this scene.

What's this?

A telepathic connection?

I just thought of Him, and He immediately thought of me?

Cheng Shi stood up abruptly, a bright smile spreading across his face. He mimicked the chattering tones of the Little Skull, saying, "Come on! Come on! Don't rush me!" as he dashed into the doorway.

To Cheng Shi, the skeletal gate that appeared to outsiders as an Abyss to death was undoubtedly more pleasing to the eye than his own home.

This isn't a door to death, it's clearly a door to the company!

As an employee who loves to work hard, I consider this company my home!

Cheng Shi stepped into it, he was instantly swept up by the White Bone Flood and surged into the depths of the Void.

When he opened his eyes again, the familiar, enormous skull, its eyes blazing with vibrant green flames, sat motionless on its Bone Throne, watching him intently.

Cheng Shi instinctively raised an eyebrow... but there were no eyebrows left, because he had long since turned into a skull.

Even without physical gestures, he still showed respect for his superior. He simply opened and closed his chin, lifted himself up, and then bowed slightly forward, saying:

"Praise be to the great God of Death!"

Life will eventually come to an end, and flesh and blood will decay. When the final chapter of the Cosmos is sung, what will bloom in eternity will surely be the immortal death.

It is an honor to stand before you again, to feel your will, to listen to your teachings, and to hope that I may learn from your guidance and be blessed by your grace.

Your devoted employee, Cheng Shi, sends his greetings.

Without saying a word, Cheng Shi immediately showered the giant skull with flattery. This flattery was clearly somewhat effective, because the green flames in the skull's eyes momentarily froze after hearing these nauseating words.

He looked at the Little Skull at his feet with a strange expression and said in a low voice:

"In your piety, the flavor of Deception is too strong."

It must be because they need something from me.

What are you planning to do now?

"?"

Again?

When have I ever made such an inconsiderate request? I don't remember doing that.

Cheng Shi stammered twice, his eyes becoming innocent.

"Sir, I'm truly sincere in saying this; it comes from the bottom of my heart."

But since the leader has already asked...

No, Cheng Shi, you need to stay calm. Don't be too rude. Asking questions right after you've finished licking your boots is a bit too obvious. At least chat for a bit more before asking questions!

So he took a breath and said respectfully:

"I praise you, sir, for your continued generosity. However, these are minor matters; your affairs are more important. May I ask what instructions you have for me today?"

The enormous skull stared at Cheng Shi with its deep, unfathomable gaze for a moment, then, without giving any instructions, asked a question:

"Do you know why [Truth] chose Dizer's body instead of His soul?"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi had actually considered many reasons why [Death] had summoned him, such as warning him to use divine gifts on credit, or asking Zhang Jizu how to embrace [Deception], but he never expected that this summons would be related to Dizer, and he never expected that the other party would start with a big question involving them.

He naturally didn't know, so he honestly shook his head.

The enormous skull's tone suddenly turned somber. It gazed into the infinitely distant Void and began to recall:

"This matter needs to be discussed starting with the Mother of Prosperity."

You should know that reproduction is the Divine Authority of [Birth].

Before the Mother of Prosperity had stolen the Divine Authority of Birth, She was unable to give birth to offspring.

?

Cheng Shi was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he had never paid attention to this matter before. He only knew that [Prosperity] had four children, but he did not know that gods actually had to use their Divine Authority to have children.

No wonder Birth has so many children; why not use his Divine Authority for free?

"But He still gave birth to four children."

Do you know why?
