"!!!"

The Blind Man was stunned. She pondered the eight words Cheng Shi had spoken and instinctively clenched her hands. But the clever Clown had already snatched her divination tools, which made her feel a sudden sense of loss. However, she was then terrified by her own thoughts and broke out in a cold sweat.

He cannot divine, and the Origin cannot divine!

A pallor crept across the Blind Man's face. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and exhaled deeply, saying, "Why do you know so much about... that existence?"

This time she learned her lesson and never mentioned His name again.

Cheng Shi smiled and returned the Dice to the Blind Man: "Join the Fated, and you will know everything."

"Okay." The Blind Man had never been so determined as she was now. She nodded solemnly and then extended her other hand toward Cheng Shi.

"?"

"This is my personal choice, unrelated to the Fire Keeper or the Fire Seeker. Cheng Shi, I am very interested in the Fated you mentioned. I can join, but not as a temporary guest in this Trials."

"Give me a Token, and after the Fire Keeper An Mingyu forgets you, I will, as the Chosen of God one of Destiny An Mingyu, use this Token to search for your the Fated in the vast sea of people."

"...?"

Cheng Shi was speechless. He had argued for a long time, but the other party showed no interest whatsoever. The only reason she was willing to help was because he had helped the Fire Keeper. But now, just by mentioning the name of [Origin] again, this [Destiny] Chosen of God actually agreed. Not only that, she also wanted to truly join the Fated.

No, sis, do you really have to know what [*He] looks like?

But what you're doing is making me very scared.

Big Cat is wild enough, and now that he's the Fated, he can't wait to Subgod Emissary and test whether his life is tough enough.

If you were added to the mix...

Oh my god, what if one day I receive a notice from that the Great One asking me to go to the Fishbone Hall to claim two skeletons?

Can you please not be so blatant about your ambitions?

I used the word "Predestination" to fool you two, and you two were truly determined to believe it.

Our Lord of Grace to truly protect you, whether you will die when you consult the oracle.

You don't think that your survival is His blessing, do you?

"..."

However, Cheng Shi did not immediately reject the Blind Man, or rather, he was considering the pros and cons of truly inviting the Blind Man into the Fated.

Admittedly, it would be best to avoid any connection with the Fire Keeper and sever all ties during this Trials, but... Cheng Shi had to admit that a Blind Man guided by "Destiny" could indeed be of great help, but he could also bring a lot of trouble.

However, the great trouble and difficulties here have nothing to do with the Fire Keeper, but with that unlucky thing and her sister.

Cheng Shi knew that he would almost inevitably encounter Zhen Yi in future Trials. The number of peak matches was limited, and they would run into each other sooner or later. So he thought that if he could find out more about Zhen Xin through the Blind Man, he might be able to prepare in advance and take precautions against Zhen Yi.

More importantly, the Blind Man and Zhen Xin have an exceptionally good relationship, and Zhen Xin is the founder of the History School. If the Blind Man is captured, it means that Cheng Shi has put a hand in the pocket of the History School.

Don't forget, at this moment he was also holding a Dragon King Li Jingming in his other hand, a figure comparable to the History School!

In this way, almost all the information in the high-end gamer circle, or rather, the essential information of the entire [Faith Game], fell into his hands!

This is what Cheng Shi the most.

Of course, he knew that a small, shady organization with only a few people could hardly compete with the deep friendship between the two best friends. The Blind Man had no reason to betray him, which was Cheng Shi one of the reasons why Cheng Shi had always been unwilling to open up to Blind Man. But now, after sensing the Blind Man's inexplicable obsession with [Origin], he suddenly felt that... he wasn't without bait to lure the blind woman.

"Are you serious?" Cheng Shi stared intently at the Blind Man's expression and asked again, "But given your status, how could you possibly be unrelated to Passing the Flame or Zhen Xin?"

"You know the will to Passing the Flame; we never force it, but do so voluntarily."

As for Xin Xin, you're thinking too much of her...

We are first and foremost independent individuals, and only secondly sisters who can talk about anything. Yes, I admit that Zhen Yi sometimes causes trouble, but you should know that every trouble has a solution and even a traceable cause.

Once you find Zhen Yi's 'traces', sometimes trouble can also become a weapon.

Cheng Shi, I have never shared this with anyone, which is enough to show my sincerity.

"!"

Good grief, I haven't even started fishing for you yet, and you've already caught me with what I was thinking!

Cheng Shi fell into deep thought again, after frantically weighing the pros and cons... Actually, it wasn't that crazy. When he realized that he could control two top intelligence lines at the same time, Greed in his heart had already overwhelmingly taken over.

So he reached out and grasped the Blind Man's hand firmly once again.

"You truly are the Fated!"

Even the power of the Origin couldn't kill you, which proves you are the darling of Destiny!

As he spoke, Cheng Shi placed an ordinary-looking Dice into the other person's palm and smiled, "This is the Token of our the Fated. Of course, when we are ready to accept you, you won't need to come looking for us; we will come looking for you ourselves."

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'm already looking forward to it, but..." The Blind Man rubbed the Dice Cheng Shi had given him, and asked in confusion, "I'm very curious, who else is among these the Fated? Cheng Shi, this shouldn't be a secret, right? After all, I will forget all of this after this Trials, no matter what."

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow; this time he really didn't hide it from her.

"You, me, Da... Hong Lin."

The three of us are what's called the Fated.

"Hong Lin??? She actually..." The Blind Man was stunned. She hesitated, her expression changing several times before she nodded with a strange look. "That is indeed quite predestined."

"Pfft—" Cheng Shi couldn't help but laugh at the Blind Man's sudden remark.

"Aren't you wondering why our organization has so few people?"

The Blind Man shook his head solemnly. "There won't be many the Fated, there will only be few."

"!"

Look, look, what is this? This is the insight of the Top Rank player on the [Destiny] leaderboard, this is the vision of Chosen of God. What do you mean by few people, what do you mean by shady organizations? They're all wrong. There are never many the Fated!

My dear friends, I love people like you who can cover up my lies.

Cheng Shi smiled happily, but his expression quickly turned serious.

"Alright, since we're all on the same side, I won't waste any more time. I've already thought of some things. An the Chosen, what you need to do now is to fill in the gaps in my reasoning."

I need to rummage through my memories, digging out every detail and finding every useful clue, to piece together a path home across time using my limited Memory.

The traveler of "Nothingness" will not be bound by "existence," so let us begin immediately.

This was the first time the Blind Man had ever seen Cheng Shi so serious. She nodded solemnly, holding her breath to listen intently to his speculation, but the first thing she heard was:

"Oh, I forgot something. Um... why don't you learn from Qin Xin and lend me the Master of Deception Card for a while, and then tell me a lie?"

Otherwise, I won't feel at ease.

"..."

The Blind Man was numb. She slightly raised her head to "look" at Cheng Shi, her tightly closed eyelids twitching incessantly.

Sure enough, this is the real him.
