I Never Lie

After realizing the reality, Su Yida's condition improved significantly. He mocked Cheng Shi in Yin-Yang, seemingly certain that Cheng Shi would not dare to kill him.

Cheng Shi didn't dare.

The reason was the same as Su Yida's reluctance to kill him: he was also worried that the person watching this place might have a bad opinion of his killing Su Yida.

Cheng Shi never felt that he was a player favored by some "god".

If [Deception] is interested in Su Yida, then killing Su Yida would most likely spoil His interest.

Cheng Shi dared to force Su Yida bow his head, but that doesn't mean he dared to gamble and didn't care about Deception.

Some acts of killing are not so easy to avenge.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."

But Cheng Shi is not a gentleman.

He can't tolerate anyone but Whore God.

Even if I can't get revenge right now, I should at least pay back some interest first.

He looked at Su Yida, who had a mocking expression on his face, with a playful look in his eyes:

You think I can't do anything to you?

Su Yida didn't even blink.

"Hmm? Go on, I'm listening."

"I need something. Give me compensation, and I might spare your life today," Cheng Shi frankly stated his price.

"Kill me?"

Hahaha, kill me?

Cheng Shi, you know what I'm afraid of, and I know what you're afraid of. You still want to use this trick to fool me?

"Come, let me see how you intend to kill me!"

That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

Cheng Shi's face broke into a wicked smile again. He put his hands on his face and forcefully peeled off a layer of skin from his cheek.

Then he laughed maniacally:

"Then you'd better watch carefully!"

With that, he ripped his face open!

Yes, he's ready to tear his own mouth apart!

The "Lips of Foolish Play," the Mask that vanished at the Starting Point of Life Path, is now attached to his face in a way he cannot comprehend.

This mouth is very good at deceiving people, and he often lies to others, and he lies to others as many times as he lies to himself, so Cheng Shi suffers a lot.

He had tried to bring it down, but each attempt resulted in a dramatic and earth-shattering change.

Over time, Cheng Shi abandoned this idea and treated this cost as a trump card.

Now, it's time to let Su Yida see its power.

As for whether provoking it would result in its wrath or His wrath, Cheng Shi couldn't care less.

His goal was clear: if you, Su Yida, don't spit something out today, I'm sorry, I'll die with you.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I'm naturally not afraid of angering my Lord of Grace!

Just as Cheng Shi's blood-stained fingers touched his lips, a sudden surge of energy from the Void erupted, blowing the two people on the ground away.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable, terrifying pressure rose from every corner of this space, and the immense pressure even instantly twisted Su Yida's flesh.

"!!??

Holy crap! Are you crazy?

You'll die too!!

Stop...

Cheng Shi!! You fucking stop it!!

Cheng Shi didn't care at all that he was bleeding from the pressure, and he roared as he endured the pressure that almost broke his spine:

"To give it to or not!?"

"You're crazy!"

You're fucking crazy!

You're fucking insane!

Give it to me! I'll give it to you!!

What do you want?! I'll give it to you!!!

Oh.

We won.

He was scared.

Cheng Shi smiled bitterly, instantly releasing the hand that had torn his cheek, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The terrifying and inexplicable pressure dissipated instantly, Su Yida coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to his knees, panting heavily with blood all over his body.

He was somewhat frightened.

If he had spoken even a second later, he seriously doubted he would have witnessed death.

"You're insane! You're the fucking insane one..."

Say it, fucking say it! What do you want? As long as it's not my life, I'll give it to you. Damn it, we're even!

"Once I give it to you, we're even!"

Cheng Shi weakly pointed in the direction of the tent and gave a feeble smile:

"Divinity..."

The Divinity of prosperity!

I extract the Divinity of prosperity within me and give it to...

"Take it, old man."

"..."

Su Yida was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

What does Cheng Shi want?

Divinity?

For the old man?

Su Yida's expression went from bewilderment to growing increasingly furious. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging, and trembling, pointed at Cheng Shi, roaring hysterically:

"Cheng Shi, are you fucking crazy?!"

Grass!

Grass!!!

All for an old man who's about to die!

You almost killed me!

You'd rather die than risk your own life for some damn old man who wants to die!

Cheng Shi, I'll fuck your mother!!!

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes, almost speechless.

"I don't have a mother."

"Why?

You almost fucking killed me for some complete unrelated old man!

Do you know how long I've waited for this day?!

Do you know how hard it was for me to get this opportunity?!

I've planned and schemed for so long, and you almost ruined it all because of some damn old man!

Why!?

What the hell are you doing this for?!

Su Yida broke down.

He felt the world had gone mad.

A player who could reach that level in his era almost gave up his life for a mere acquaintance of a "Decay" Believer.

Is this funny?

Is it worth it?

Does he deserve it?

Cheng Shi watched through blurry vision as Su Yida frantically pounded the ground, venting the fear he had just felt, and laughed happily.

"Seeing you so scared... it feels so good... really..."

"Why!? What the hell is it all for?!"

Fuck your mother! Say it!

"Because of me..."

Cheng Shi lay helplessly on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, and suddenly remembered the old man in his family who was just like Cui Ding Tian.

Old man, look at that person, he's so old and still looking for his son.

And you?

Where did you go?

I don't expect you to come looking for me, but at least give me a chance to come to you.

Tears of longing welled up in his eyes, and a smile of reminiscence curled at the corners of his mouth. The tears could not wash away the scalding blood, nor could the blood stain the bitter tears.

Cheng Shi laughed and cried at the same time, her voice hoarse as she said:

"Because I Never Lie."

From the moment he embarked on this Path of Fate's Beginning, Cheng Shi had already lost his identity as a human being.

He accepted the blessing of the gods and tried his best to play the role of a liar, living a lonely life in this inhuman and ghostly world.

He rarely looks ahead, nor does he want to.

But when you look back, all you see is Nothingness.

He tried to discard all the nobility the old man had taught him and used every means to survive, because the old man had only wanted him to live well.

But he still admires those "people" who silently walk through Trials while upholding the bottom line of human morality.

Such people are rare, but Cui Ding Tian is definitely one of them.

Cheng Shi said that if he had a way, he would leave the Divinity within him to Old Cui.

He has done it now.

Even if the "Divinity" itself is false, it doesn't matter; the promise is real.

"You're insane! That's Divinity! Don't you know whether you have Divinity sealed within you? Where am I supposed to find the Divinity of prosperity for you?!"

"If it were... you as you are now... I wouldn't want you..."

But...

Your future self... will definitely have a way.

As he spoke, fearing that Su Yida might change his mind, Cheng Shi moved his fingers again and touched his face.

This startled Su Yida so much that he jumped up.

He was really scared.

You can't reason with a madman.

"You're fucking insane!!"

No!

You're a fucking idiot! A mindless idiot!

Su Yida roared and stretched out his hand, piercing through his right chest with a single blow, pulling out a handful of emerald light from between the flesh and blood.

Divinity!

A flourishing of Divinity!

"I just... knew..."

I knew it! Hahahaha!

Cheng Shi smiled.

He had long guessed that, given Su Yida's personality, he would have collected a great deal of Divinity over a long period of time.

Moreover, he was certain that neither of the two [Deception] Believer on the Icefield would die.

This is a game you must win!

The qualification to enter the game is His gaze, and the Chip is Cheng Shi understanding of people's hearts.

He knew what Su Yida was afraid of, so he dared to keep his promise.

"People have to live for something, don't they...?"

Hahaha, hahahaha.

So... I was right...

The rift can truly... contain Divinity...

"We're even!"

With a complicated expression, Su Yida tossed the ball of Divinity toward the Human Skin tent, then glared at Cheng Shi with extreme disgust before struggling to run away from Cheng Shi.

Stay away from this madman!

Stay away from him!

Even if it means death, I cannot let him die right under my nose!

Cheng Shi watched Su Yida slowly run away, then had no strength left to hold on. His eyelids drooped, and he fainted.
