Although God of Merriment denied Kraun in a mocking tone, He still agreed to the other's plea.
With a slight blink of those eyes, Kraun in the void instantly exploded into nothingness. Then, invisible fluctuations transformed into five streaks of light that shot toward three different places.
In the direction nearest to this place, three beams of light twisted together into a single mass. Clearly, they had landed together.
Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes as he witnessed everything. He had thought that once Kraun's audience ended, he would also be sent back into the trial. But to his surprise, Deception did not release him. Instead, He asked him meaningfully:
"Do you think the clown's piety is real or fake?"
"..."
Hearing this question, Zhang Jizu tensed all over, and cold sweat instantly broke out across his back.
This was a life-or-death question!
Before a True God who held dominion over the falsehoods of the universe, how was one supposed to judge whether His believer's piety was genuine?
If he said it was real, he would undoubtedly be blaspheming His authority.
If he said it was fake, he would undoubtedly be blaspheming His dignity to His face.
For a moment, Zhang Jizu's mind raced as he poured all the wisdom of his life into this instant.
His approach to solving the problem was not to blindly consider every possibility. Instead, he copied another clown's answer, constantly thinking about what Cheng Shi would say if he were here.
That line of thought actually led him to an answer.
Thus, after several breaths, Zhang Jizu took a deep breath and replied solemnly:
"Lord of Grace, are You questioning Cheng Shi's piety?
I understand. I'll keep an eye on his movements for You and report everything about him to You in a timely manner."
