Cheng Shi looked at Qin Xin and the Blind Man, only to find both of them wearing equally astonished expressions.
This was clearly illogical. Civilization was flourishing, war had yet to arrive, and chaos had only just begun to show its first signs. Those were the mainstream religious conditions of this era and period.
The emergence of Folly's budding will was already shocking enough for the three of them. But that could still be explained as a few followers of Truth changing their minds under hardship and oppression, thereby giving rise to the embryonic form of Folly's will. But... what about silence?
How could this being, who had only been recorded in small numbers during the Chaos Era, already have divinity compressed into an Abyssal Crystal by the spatial-temporal pressure of the Abyssal Volcano?
This was no longer a mere bud poking its head out. It meant that silence had descended upon the world long ago, yet the mortals of the Isle of Hope had never known of its existence.
No, not just the Isle of Hope. Even the players had no idea why a true god who would only descend during the Chaos Era had been discovered by them in this manner midway through the Civilization Era.
Everything before them had nearly shattered the players' understanding of the order in which true gods descended, and it had blurred everyone's understanding of the eras even further.
Qin Xin and the Blind Man fell into deep thought. Conversely, Cheng Shi, who had been the most confused at first, suddenly thought of something. He blinked in disbelief and seemed to want to discuss it with the two of them, but just as the thought was about to leave his mouth, he swallowed it back down.
*Forget it. This is only a guess.
