This Fate Weaver Really... Has Something

The holy light of healing shone upon the Blind Man, creating ripples of revival. Usually, when this effect occurs, the dead should have already been saved by the power of revival and opened their eyes.

But this Cheng Shi's feet did not react at all. Seeing this, his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! Death influenced by [*He] is indeed different from normal death. Even the power of the Lush Antler Crown cannot revive this Chosen of God [Destiny].

What should we do now?

Cheng Shi broke out in a cold sweat. Just a second ago he was bragging to Qin Xin that "death is not so simple." Now, whether death is simple or not is another matter, but resurrection is definitely not simple.

Qin Xin also noticed the unusual phenomenon. He carefully sensed the revitalizing power contained within the Healing Art and asked in confusion:

"Such pure power of revival, I can even smell a hint of prosperity in this power, but why isn't it working?"

Could it be because He perished?

Um?

Cheng Shi was taken aback, but then perked up instantly.

Ah yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right, bro! That's exactly it, that's exactly it, it's because [Prosperity] fell that His resurrected creations failed!

Cheng Shi knew, of course, that Qin Xin was wrong. After the fall of [Prosperity], he had used this item to save countless people. But now it wasn't a question of right or wrong, but rather whether he could shift the blame.

Praise [Prosperity], for even in its self-destruction, it remained so helpful.

Of course, we must also praise the Passing the Flame; you are saved because you have such a wise leader!

Cheng Shi nodded vigorously, then withdrew his hand from the Healing Art, hiding the embarrassment on his face, and said:

"I know that this level of resurrection power cannot bring her back to life. I only conducted a small Experiment. After all, the way An the Chosen to die was too rare. In order to collect some data that is not usually seen, I had to do a little... cough cough, please forgive me for the offense."

Qin Xin was not without suspicion. He was a very perceptive person and had already noticed that there was a problem with the resurrection just now. However, he trusted Cheng Shi, or rather, he trusted someone who had been willing to go into hiding to help the Fire Keeper, so he did not delve into the reasons.

"So what should we do now?" he continued. "I do have a few items that can be used for resurrection, but their quality might not be as good as the resurrection item you just used. Not to mention, Mingyu should have Zhen Xin's backup plan. She shouldn't have died so suddenly."

"..."

With each word Qin Xin spoke, Cheng Shi's expression grew more awkward. He was almost about to reveal his weakness under the other's sharp gaze, but just then, his mouth suddenly moved.

Without warning, the Lips of Foolish Play seized his "right to speak," and with a sneer, said:

"Don't panic. The reason these backup plans didn't work is because she died in an unknown state and is in an unknown state of death. To put it simply, she's not completely dead."

Since it's not completely dead, it can't be resurrected.

So, just help her a little more; once we send her to see that the Great One, she'll surely die.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xin frowned, and Cheng Shi was greatly alarmed.

No, Mouth Brother, why are you still messing with me at a time like this?

What do you mean by not quite dead? If he wasn't quite dead, could Blind Man...?

Etc!

Why Mouth Brother that the Great One?

Cheng Shi's expression suddenly turned serious. He carefully recalled every word Mouth Brother had said, especially the last sentence, which he pondered over several times. After a moment, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he came up with an unbelievable conclusion:...

Perhaps only the Great One atop the Bone Throne can save this poor Chosen of God Destiny.

Because He is one of the sixteen true gods personally Naming by the [Origin], True God who wears the Divine Name [Death] and wields the Divine Authority of [Death]. If the backlash from looking directly at [*Him] makes the Blind Man's death irreversible, then perhaps only that the Great One in the Cosmos can use the Divine Authority in his hands to make this irreversible death reversible.

So this time, Mouth Brother wasn't trying to trick me, he was actually helping me!

Long live Mouth Brother!

But how did it change its nature?

Never mind, let's save them first.

Cheng Shi up. He had already thought of a way to cure the Blind Man. So, while Qin Xin was still looking on with doubt, he raised his right hand, gently pinched the Death Amusement Ring, and aimed the ring, which had been charged two bars by his fear, at the Blind Man at his feet.

Now, he's going to give the Blind Man a big one.

"You..."

"Boom--"

Qin Xin looked doubtful. Before he could ask Cheng Shi what his plan was, a devastating bolt of lightning roared and devoured the Blind Man on the ground. Then, under Qin Xin's drastically changed gaze, the Thunderbolt completely consumed the flesh and blood of the corpse, leaving only a lonely skeleton.

The skeleton, accompanied by the thunderous roar, suddenly opened its mouth and let out a hoarse, unpleasant howl. Then, at the moment the lightning subsided, it nimbly rose from the ground, quickly walked behind Cheng Shi, and stood still. Its empty eye sockets stared intently at the dumbfounded founder of the Passing the Flame opposite it.

In fact, not only Qin Xin, but Cheng Shi was also stunned.

This was the first time he had used the Amusement Ring after it was upgraded, and he hadn't expected that the so-called Shrieking Servant would be so blatant... no, so rough.

Now things are really messed up; the Mage's affair is completely inexplicable.

However, it seems there's no need to explain, because the only neighbor who knows about my Mage identity, the one from the "War" faction, hasn't returned yet.

"You... have fused with [Death]?" Qin Xin was somewhat shocked.

"?" Cheng Shi quickly shook his head. He couldn't admit to this, otherwise all the groundwork he had laid with the Dragon King and Squinty Old Zhang would be for nothing. "It's just a prop, a means of resurrection. Conventional methods can't remove the state on An the Chosen. Only this method can bring her back to our side."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi gave the Shrieking Servant an order to return to the Bone Throne of that the Great One and deliver a message. As for what the message was, he whispered two words to Qin Xin, avoiding his gaze. "Help."

The Shrieking Servant was very obedient. It nodded, let out a howl, tore open the Void in front of it, opened a door of ghastly green flames, and then rushed in.

That resolute look was somewhat reminiscent of when the Gongyang Jiao launched its attack on him earlier.

"..."

How strange. Just thinking about how the dead An Mingyu had turned into a skeletal Gongyang Jiao Cheng Shi want to laugh. What was this inexplicable absurdity all about...?

As the "Blind Man's skeleton" opened a door to death and left right in front of him, Qin Xin opened his mouth but couldn't say a word for a long time.

He had seen absurd stories before, and he had experienced bizarre Trials before, but he had never encountered a scene like this one, where he was filled with nothing but astonishment, doubt, and confusion from beginning to end.

From the moment he discovered the two, to the Blind Man's inexplicable death, and then Cheng Shi's dazzling series of actions that obliterated the Blind Man's flesh and blood, "releasing" Blind Man skeleton... this series of bizarre encounters gave him a feeling of complete ignorance that he had when he first entered the peak game.

He stared blankly at Cheng Shi in front of him, his heart filled with profound emotion:

This Fate Weaver is indeed... quite something.
