How Could This Be Helping Others? It Was Devout Faith

How dare she?

Which player would openly declare their intention to "spy" on the Divine Descent?

Do you think this is a dream?

Although many people consider that afternoon a dream, even if it was a dream, how did you have the courage to confront a "Dream Weaver" when you were unable to wake up?

Cheng Shi was numb; his scalp tingled.

He looked at the calm and composed Blind Man in front of him, his eyes seeming to look at a monster.

Her tone was so calm; she just casually recounted that terrifying experience.

Yes, prophesying about gods is terrifying enough, but when the object of the prophecy is the one who holds the power of "Destiny" and bestows the ability of prophecy, the terror reaches its peak just by thinking about it.

However, the Blind Man also paid the price for her "blasphemous act." The price of looking directly into the "Nothingness" was that she would never be able to see anything other than darkness again. This would be a lifelong shadow for anyone, and could even be the end of the blasphemer's life at that very moment.

But she survived, and not only that, she became His Chosen of God.

Hiss--

This Chosen of God... is pretty ruthless.

"Do you regret it?" Cheng Shi asked in a complicated tone.

"Regret what?"

"[Nothingness] has robbed you of your sight."

"This is not deprivation, but a gift."

Although I cannot see the surface of this world, I am closer to the essence of the Cosmos.

"[Destiny]... is guiding me to understand all that is real."

"..." As expected of the Crazy Woman, Cheng Shi clicked her tongue and asked curiously again, "So what is your perception of the world like now? For example, when you look at me now, what specific image do you have in your consciousness?"

"Perception is an abstract thing; it has no concrete form. But by combining my understanding and cognition of the world before I went blind, I can probably bring the two senses closer together."

For example, you, Cheng Shi, my perception of you is... well, strangely enough, like a giant spider web.

"!!??"

[Giggle and Mock]!

When the Blind Man uttered the word "spider web," Cheng Shi immediately thought of the creation of this God of Merriment deep in the Void, [Giggle and Mock].

He frowned, sensing that something was amiss, and asked another question:

"And what about the Grand Marshal? What image does he have in your eyes?"

"Hu Wei? Why are you suddenly talking about him?" The Blind Man was slightly taken aback.

"I have a good relationship with the Grand Marshal. I'm just curious. If the Believer of [Destiny] are a spider web, that's somewhat plausible. So I want to know, what are the Believer of [War]?"

It can't be some kind of weapon, can it?

The Blind Man frowned and shook his head. "No, Hu Wei gives me a very chaotic feeling. He doesn't have a fixed and specific image; he's more like a constantly Change, unpredictable fog..."

Fog... Chaos Yellow Mist...

It's very close.

If any Blind Man had seen that Chaos Yellow Mist before losing their sight, she would probably have immediately recognized Hu Wei's true identity as a Faith!

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly began to believe the rumor he had heard before that "only the Blind Man can see through Destiny."

This Chosen of God of Destiny is truly something special.

"Is this a gift He bestowed upon you?"

"No, this is not a talent. As I said, it is a gift from the [Nothingness]."

"..." Cheng Shi curled his lips with a strange look in his eyes.

Very well, you are all darlings of Destiny. You are remarkable. On the other hand, a certain unlucky Fate Weaver doesn't even know if his Lord of Grace is truly angry.

However, as long as He didn't just recently summon the Blind Man, it means that He might not be as small as He imagines... He is very forgiving!

Cheng Shi promptly interrupted his impious thoughts and then changed the subject, asking:

"I understand. Now, let's talk about the Fool's Society. How did you kill Old Man?"

The Blind Man paused slightly, then looked into Cheng Shi's eyes, shook her head, and chuckled.

"Whether it's the exchange of Memory or the heart-to-heart talk of a conman, there's never a principle where one party only asks and the other only tells. Cheng Shi, it's your turn. I've answered your question, and it's time for you to answer mine."

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Cheng Shi chuckled dryly and looked up at the sky, "Ahem, of course, what I know best is sincerity, go ahead and ask."

Why are you helping them?

"Who?"

"Fang Shiqing, the Fire Seeker Fire Keeper, and two other City Defender."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he immediately realized that it was indeed not a problem with his [Memory]. Fang Shiqing and the others might not remember anything. The Blind Man woman clearly knew about this from elsewhere, otherwise she would not be unaware of her past relationship with Fang Shiqing and the others.

Then, recalling what the other party had said about the Fool's Society, Cheng Shi suddenly realized how he had been exposed.

Cui Qiushi!

My interaction with Cui Qiushi at the Fool's Society was noticed by someone with ulterior motives, which is why the Blind Man guessed my identity.

That's not right either. Even if she had intentionally gotten close to the Fire Keeper back then, how could she have clearly known that forgotten story?

"What are you thinking about? You're not making up some answer to fool me, are you?" The Blind Man looked at Cheng Shi, who was frowning, and smiled meaningfully.

"No, I just felt a little sentimental thinking about that Trials."

But... since when do we need a reason to help others?

The Blind Man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "So, you're a helpful person?"

"No, it has nothing to do with being helpful, but it has something to do with pleasing oneself."

I am only responsible for myself. I save people when I feel like it, and besides, my actions at the time were not motivated by saving people, but rather by... mockery.

I merely gave them a push, allowing them to get closer and discover the truth for themselves, and then I erased my own presence, leaving them mired in confusion without realizing it.

I am fabricating the mystery of "Destiny" to make these confused people marvel at the greatness of Destiny, and to offer this as a tribute to you and my Lord of Grace.

Therefore, if you absolutely must label this behavior, I suggest not using "helpful," but rather "devout Faith."

"..." The Blind Man's face froze.

There are shameless players among Peak Player, but it's rare to see someone who can spout such a long string of words to sophistry their own logic and then pat themselves on the back.

For a fleeting moment, Zhen Yi's image flashed through her mind.

They actually look somewhat alike, which explains why he dared to impersonate Zhen Yi in front of her.
