So Why Had He Changed?

Cheng Shi looked at Qin Xin and the Blind Man, only to see that the two of them also looked surprised and doubtful.

This is clearly illogical. At this time, Civilization is at its peak, war has not yet begun, and chaos is just beginning to emerge. These are the mainstream Faith of this era.

The emergence of the budding of [Folly] was enough to shock these three people, but this could also be understood as a change in the thinking of a few Believer of [Truth] under setbacks and oppression, thus giving rise to the embryonic form of the will of [Folly], but... what about [Silence]?

How could He, who is only mentioned in a few records during the Chaos Era, possibly have his Divinity squeezed into Abyssal Crystal by the spacetime of the Abyssal Volcano?

This is not even the beginning; it means that the "Silence" has already descended upon the world, but its existence is unknown to the Mortals of the Isle of Hope.

No, it wasn't just the Isle of Hope; even the players themselves didn't know why a True God who had only descended during the Chaos Era would be discovered by them in this way during the middle of the Civilization Era.

What they were seeing almost shattered the players' understanding of the arrival of the True God in order, and further blurred their understanding of the era.

Qin Xin and the Blind Man fell into deep thought, Cheng Shi, who had been confused at first, suddenly thought of something and blinked in disbelief, as if he wanted to discuss it with the two of them. However, just as the thought was about to come out of his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Forget it, this idea is just a guess. Besides, these two Fire Keeper might not even know what an era is. Instead of continuing to explain the concept of an era to them, it's better to finish what needs to be done first. Once we have the Divinity, we can talk about these nonsensical guesses later.

"If all goes well, you two can extract Divinity to your heart's content in the territory of the Proxy Hand tonight. But for now, please pack up and take these two Abyssal Crystal with us to take over the territory of the Proxy Hand."

Upon hearing this, a fervent light shone in Xilolin's eyes. She covered her severed arm with her less agile arm and asked, "Are you going to find Arad now?"

Seeing that the other two had no objections, Cheng Shi smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. Although I know where he is, it would be best if you led the way, since you are familiar with this place and with him."

But I'm still very curious, Xilolin, why do you hate your brother so much?

He clearly thought Yadelik...

Cheng Shi was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that Yadelik acting a little strange in front of him, but Xilolin didn't seem to care at all, and instead said calmly:

"Locked up?"

Ah, if it weren't for my various ways of 'supporting' Yadelik, I might not have even discovered that my dear brother had a problem.

My original intention was to bribe all the miners under his command so that they would secretly save some for me when they found something good. But I didn't expect that through my subtle questioning of these people, I discovered that... Arad's identity seems a bit strange.

He became much more shrewd and capable, and he saw me less and less often.

So..."

Cheng Shi was taken aback, blinked, and thought to himself, "So you're a brother-obsessed person? Such a strong desire for control? You'd kill your own brother just because of that?"

To everyone's surprise, Xilolin's words once again gave everyone a fresh perspective.

"I believe he has betrayed the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire, abandoned the mercy of his Lord of Grace, and has secretly joined... the Tower of Reason!"

"?"

Ah?

Cheng Shi was stunned. "Arad is also a member of the Brotherhood of Extreme Desire?"

"He used to be, but he isn't anymore!" Xilolin's tone was somewhat gritted, clearly showing that she hated her brother's betrayal to the core.

Why did he join the Tower of Reason?

"Naturally, it's because he saw the benefits promised to him by the Tower of Reason, but the filth on the Surface is a hundred times more disgusting than our underground. He has gone Wrong Path, desecrated his Lord of Grace, and deserves to pay for his sins with his death."

But Cheng Shi frowned after hearing this and asked in confusion, "That's not right. He clearly followed his desires and made the choice that was most beneficial to him. This was clearly the greatest tribute to [Filth and Decay], so how could it be considered betrayal?"

"???"

Now it was Xilolin's turn to be dumbfounded, and utterly dumbfounded.

She looked at Cheng Shi with a horrified expression, her pupils contracted sharply, her brain buzzed, her neck felt like it was filled with molten lead and was extremely stiff, and her mouth was open for a long time, but she couldn't squeeze out a word of rebuttal.

For a moment, she felt as if her path of Faith had gone astray.

But the next second, Cheng Shi rescued the swerving siren.

"But it doesn't matter. You can kill whenever you want without any reason. It's a kind of desire, and at least you didn't do anything wrong."

"..."

Xilolin's deathly pale face warmed slightly in an instant. Cold sweat poured down her face, and she collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, repeatedly murmuring, "I didn't do anything wrong, I was right, I didn't do anything wrong, I was right..."

At that moment, she was like a drowning person suddenly rescued, trembling all over, her heart filled with lingering fear, and all traces of her previous shrewdness were gone.

Seeing this, Qin Xin frowned slightly, while the Blind Man seemed to be deep in thought.

Unexpectedly, the knife this Fate Weaver used to kill was not the Scalpel in his hand, but a sharp knife called Faith!

Everyone knows that in the Isle of Hope, a world that worships gods, most people's lives are trapped by their Faith. As long as you seize the reins of their Faith, you can arbitrarily control these people who have Annihilation in history, leading tragic and pitiful lives.

But this is easier said than done.

There are countless interpretations of Faith, but to be able to use just a few words to strike at the weakest point of someone's Faith requires the "instrumentalist" to have an extremely profound understanding of that person's Faith.

Yet people cannot even fathom the path of Faith beneath their own feet, their piety is not even pure, let alone understand the Faith of others.

Therefore, after witnessing this scene, the two Fire Keeper gained a new understanding of Cheng Shi's "strength." At least this Fate Weaver's understanding of [Filth and Decay] was extremely profound.

"Getting close to [Filth and Decay] is not a good thing," Qin Xin muttered to himself.

The Blind Man heard what he said, tilted his head to look at him, and chuckled:

"I remember you once told me that the greatest desire in this world is to uphold what is good, so in that sense, the Fire Keeper should be considered a different kind of supporter of Filth and Decay."

Why are you so serious today?

Qin Xin was slightly taken aback, then chuckled as well, "People do change."

After saying that, he ignored the Blind Man and went to Cheng Shi to help him escort the Wise One. However, the moment the two passed each other, the Blind Man's smile vanished instantly, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Because she remembered Qin Xin saying that people may change, but the Fire Keeper will never change.

So, why did the founder of this Fire Keeper change?
