Divinity

"Haha, just kidding, just trying to lighten the mood, everyone don't look so serious..."

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Cheng Shi scratched his head and finally confessed:

"Okay, I'll say it."

Although my surname isn't Tang, I'm somewhat similar to Tang Sanzang.

"..."

Seeing that everyone still looked speechless and disbelieving, Cheng Shi chuckled and continued:

"Don't rush, I'm telling the truth. A trace of the [Divinity of [Prosperity] is sealed within me."

Divinity!

Upon hearing this word, everyone's expression turned serious.

This word, though "common", is not "frequently seen".

In the Faith Game, players at all skill levels probably know what Divinity is, but if you were to ask them what it actually is, probably 99% of players in the lower and middle skill levels wouldn't be able to answer.

Not to mention having seen Divinity with one's own eyes.

All I know is that it's awesome, but who cares how awesome it is!

That's roughly the idea.

Only players with a score of 2000 or higher, who have at least unlocked an S-level talent, can be considered to have barely grasped the essence of [Divinity].

Around 2400 points, players with SS-level talents basically pierced through the blurry paper in front of them and saw its true face.

It is the most mysterious and enigmatic existence in the [Faith Game], representing both the condensed Faith and the strongest power.

From a player's perspective, and measured by the strength of their talent, a single [Divinity] is equivalent to an S-rank Faith Talent.

An SS-level Faith Talent means 10 units of Divinity.

As for the so-called SSS-level Demigod Artifact...

Such a powerful Discarded Divine Artifact has transcended the system of measurement based on "parts." If one had to explain it, it could be equivalent to either one part or a portion.

Because the "Divinity" in the Discarded Divine Artifact is not scattered Divinity, but rather a "Divinity" that has been solidified on the path to godhood.

Using building blocks as a metaphor, this Divinity is equivalent to carefully separating a complete finished product into countless pieces, each of which can be considered a puzzle piece that can restore the "god".

The scattered Divinity consists of fragments that have never been pieced together.

They may originate from humble Faith, burst forth from mysterious Nothingness, or simply be little trinkets casually bestowed upon Believer by the gods.

But it cannot be denied that, regardless of the type of Divinity, they are still the cornerstones that "assemble" the gods!

Even if the player has no way to combine them.

Su Yida was clearly an expert; he suddenly widened his eyes, looking utterly shocked and quite eager, and asked:

"Is it a scattered puzzle piece, or disassembled fragments!?"

Although the position of the god of prosperity still exists, "His fragments" are still circulating in the game.

Because every deity possesses more than one "finished product," their Divinity is always redundant!

Cheng Shi was somewhat surprised by Su Yida's reaction. He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before replying meaningfully:

"Scattered puzzle pieces, but... there's a lot of them."

"How did you get here?" Su Yida couldn't help but move closer to Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi took a half step back and glanced at his colleague who had lost his sense of propriety.

He seems to be very concerned about Divinity?

Could he be someone from that organization?

Only they would care so much about "Divinity".

In that case, why not...

Cheng Shi smiled slightly and explained:

"During Trials long ago, I encountered a player who had joined the Rationality Association and had a fanatical pursuit of [Divinity]."

During that Trials, we unexpectedly encountered a large amount of scattered [Prosperity] Divinity. In order to verify his thoughts, he turned the other five of us into his Experiment subjects:

A wisp is sealed inside everyone's body.

However, possessing Divinity is not always a good thing, as ordinary people are simply unable to digest such Divinity.

Take me for example.

As you've probably noticed, as a Priest Birth, I've never successfully helped anyone conceive...

This is because the Divinity of "prosperity" within me is constantly eroding my power of "Birth."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi turned to look at Cui Ding Tian.

"Old Cui, actually we are the same kind of people."

"..."

Everyone fell silent again, finding it hard to believe that a brief respite during the trial had turned into a venting session for the players.

"No wonder..." Cui Ding Tian suddenly realized, "Only His Divinity could shield Him from His curse..."

Everyone agreed, but Su Yida's gaze still held doubt.

"Even if the five of you team up, you can't defeat him alone?"

Cheng Shi gave a helpless, bitter smile:

"He's too strong. He's Believer in Prosperity. In Prosperity's home turf, we have no chance against him."

Su Yida frowned and questioned again:

What's his name?

"He did not give his real name, but his ID was 'Baldy Uses Pantene'."

"Ah!"

Upon hearing the name, Tao Yi covered her mouth in surprise.

Everyone turned to look, and she nodded in shock, saying:

"I've seen this ID on the Ladder of Audience. He used to be the Chosen of God of Prosperity! His score dropped just a few days ago."

Everyone immediately understood.

No wonder...

Fighting the "Chosen of God" is practically suicide.

It's better to just lie still and let him do whatever he wants.

Even if they weren't the "Chosen of God" back then, the fact that they were able to reach that position meant that they had always been strong.

Cheng Shi discerned Su Yida's other identity and also sensed the suspicion in Su Yida's heart. He knew that if he didn't do something, his lie might have been completely wasted.

Sigh, a small accident requires countless lies to cover it up.

It's so hard to lie!

Cheng Shi wasn't feeling tired; he just felt that this colleague was really hard to fool.

So he extended his hand, which was adorned with a ring, and secretly used the power of [Deception] to activate a tiny bit of Lele'er's aura.

Although He has become the Fear Mother Tree in the earth, His identity remains that of the daughter of the Mother of Prosperity.

Therefore, this kind of "prosperity" mixed with a mixed flavor is definitely not wrong.

When Su Yida sensed the aura of ancient prosperity, he finally believed it.

Cheng Shi's body does indeed contain a large amount of scattered Divinity!

His eyes burned for a moment, then he lowered his head and expressed his regret for Cheng Shi's plight.

"Alright, let's stop here. Everyone has their misfortunes. If we keep talking about it, even by the next day, the six of us won't be able to finish."

Everyone, please take a break. The first day will end in three hours. We need food to replenish our energy, and the wet nurses also need rest to recover.

Everyone nodded and found a spot on the bamboo raft platform to sit down.

Cheng Shi thoughtfully offered his Healing Art again, and this time, he no longer needed to hide the fact that he couldn't get women pregnant.

Nice!

Once and for all.

Just as everyone was calming down and closing their eyes to rest, Cui Ding Tian quietly moved to Cheng Shi's side.

His face showed a struggle, his expression hesitant, as if he had been thinking for a long time. Finally, he clenched his fist as if he had made a decision, and with an embarrassed look on his face, he whispered to Cheng Shi:

"Xiao Cheng, if... I mean, if it were possible to extract this [Prosperity] Divinity from your body, could you...?"

Cheng Shi understood what Cui Ding Tian was thinking. He felt helpless, but could only nod generously.

"If you can get it, Old Cui, you can have it all. These things are utterly Nothingness to me."

Cui Ding Tian was stunned; he hadn't expected Cheng Shi so readily.

It's important to know that in this game, "Divinity" represents power, and possessing "Divinity" means that players can go further and live longer.

Regardless of whether [Divinity] is a burden for Cheng Shi at this stage, its importance cannot be denied.

Of course, this could also be Cheng Shi saying something nice because he knows that [Divinity] cannot be extracted at all. But the fact that he can say such a thing already proves one thing:

He is not a bad person.

At least he's not the kind of bad guy that even an old man on his deathbed wouldn't want to deal with.

"No, no, Xiao Cheng, I already owe you my life. Those things are all yours. I don't dare to ask for too much. I'll just exchange a little to see if I can keep this old man alive."

Cheng Shi couldn't reply to this, so he could only force a smile and say "Mm".

The old man's eyes instantly reddened, and he gripped Cheng Shi, his voice trembling slightly.

"Thank you... Xiao Cheng, thank you!"

Looking at Cui Ding Tian's red eyes, Cheng Shi felt a mix of emotions.

Damn it, I deserve to die!
