If the Advent Faction members were present, perhaps they would pick up pen and paper to record this magnificent scene.
Because this was a scene worth remembering in history; humanity, as the "playthings" in the hands of the Gods, for the first time had the opportunity to question a God.
In previous special summons, the God had only ever announced His will.
Apart from bowing their heads and accepting a few vague praises, the believers would not make a sound throughout the entire process.
But today, it was clearly different.
Both parties in the conversation were clearly in high spirits and were both quite talkative.
After Cheng Shi understood, he pondered his words for a moment and very solemnly asked the first question.
"Why did the Gods descend?
Or rather, what is the meaning of the Faith Game?"
Fraud seemed not at all surprised by this question; He slowly said:
"To become God."
!!??
To become God?
Who is to become God?
The Gods?
Players?
From the perspective of Fraud, saying this answer seems to point to the Gods!?
Aren't They already Gods?
Of course, this could also be a lie, and it very much resembles a lie.
And that would mean that the next question is likely the truth.
If Fraud does not exercise His authority.
"Hehe, it's my turn."
Do you want to become God?"
Cheng Shi's heart was in turmoil, but he still maintained a poker face and said:
"No."
The eyes in the starry sky rolled twice, noncommittally.
"Second question, in this Faith Game, can humans, or rather, Players, become God?"
Fraud's response was still emotionless.
But this time, He responded very quickly.
"Yes."
Hehe, it's my turn again.
Why don't you want to become God?"
A thunderclap exploded in Cheng Shi's mind; He carefully savored the word "Yes".
Yes?
Players can also become God?
This is more like a lie than the previous one.
But the question is, if Fraud didn't lie about the game rules, then it means that at least one of these two incredible answers is true!
Gods are not Gods!
Or, humans can become God!
Whichever is true, the answer is shocking enough.
So much so that Cheng Shi almost lost his ability to manage his expression.
He took a long time to recover before answering His question with a look of honest simplicity.
"Because there is no meaning."
Fraud was stunned for a moment, then let out a earth-shattering laugh.
"You didn't lie, you are indeed the favored child of nothingness.
But speaking of which, if I didn't understand you, based solely on the questions you asked, I would have thought you secretly joined that organization behind my back."
Which organization?
The Fire-Bearer!?
"Thump!"
Cheng Shi's heart sank. Although He already knew that He knew about the Fire-Bearer, being mentioned face-to-face by a God about an organization that "resists Gods," His heart was still exceptionally uneasy.
To be honest, Cheng Shi is not a good person.
He has all the common human flaws:
A little selfish, a little indifferent, a little afraid of death, harboring vague hope but not excessively pursuing a beautiful tomorrow, and his current attitude is to live one day at a time.
But none of this prevents Him from understanding and appreciating people who "have dreams and bring light to others."
And the Fire-Bearer are exactly such a group of people.
"I may not join them, but I will never despise them. If there is a time when I can lend a hand, I will not turn a blind eye or stand by and do nothing."
Now, it seems that time has come.
After several struggles in His heart, Cheng Shi still asked a question for these poor children who are "carrying the burden for humanity."
"In the eyes of the Gods, are they a joke?"
He asked very tactfully. Of course, the word tactful describes the question of whether the Gods know of their Existence.
For the Fire-Bearer, the breaking power of this sentence might be very high.
However, Fraud's answer was unexpected.
"You are concerned about them?
Interesting.
But you can rest assured, the Gods do not know of their Existence.
Of course, except for Me."
!!!
Cheng Shi's heart surged with monstrous waves; He blurted out and asked:
"Why?"
"Why? This is a new secret."
Cheng Shi immediately lowered his head and thought hard, thinking about how to get more words out of His Mouth, so He pondered for a moment and said:
"The Gods don't know about them. It seems that Gods are not omnipotent either."
Fraud chuckled twice and was not angered by His disrespect.
"No Existence is omnipotent, and no nothingness is omnipotent.
The Gods exist in Existence, and are nothingness in nothingness. Isn't it normal for them not to be omnipotent?"
A sharp light suddenly flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes. He raised his head, looked at Fraud, and said word by word:
"So, the Gods descended the Faith Game to become omnipotent Gods! Is that right?"
Fraud's eyes did not fluctuate at all, always carrying a smile, and the smile lines at the corners of His eyes were as unchanging as folded space-time.
His tone was still full of Deception.
"Guess."
"No need to guess, You didn't lie at all."
"Oh?" The eyes looked curiously at Cheng Shi, and asked with great interest, "How do you know I didn't lie?"
Cheng Shi pointed to His heart and said:
"S-level talent Deception Master, this is the ability You bestowed upon me. It can see through all lies."
Fraud seemed stunned by Cheng Shi's optimism. He couldn't help but laugh again, overjoyed:
"You are using the power I bestowed upon you to listen to the voice of a God. Do you think you can succeed?"
Cheng Shi said with confidence:
"Since Gods are not omnipotent, they will naturally be deceived and have their thoughts seen through. So why can't I, who holds God's favor, succeed?"
The eyes blinked and blinked, seemingly understanding Cheng Shi's meaning.
"So, this is what you want.
What a slippery fellow.
I can indeed bestow upon you a power that can deceive them.
But the question is, why do you, who don't want to become God, need a power that only a God can possess?"
Cheng Shi was honest to a fault: "I just don't want to become God, it doesn't mean I don't want to deceive Gods."
?
"Hahahaha, I see, I like you more and more."
The crazy laughter in the eyes gradually faded, and the entire form slowly merged into nothingness.
"Today's meeting was very pleasant. Go now. When you become my God Chosen, I will bestow this power upon you."
Is that it?
Cheng Shi suddenly became anxious: "What about Fate? If He comes again..."
"Endure it until you can deceive Him."
...
I'll endure your mom!
Just as Cheng Shi was about to curse, His vision suddenly distorted.
When His consciousness returned to His body, He had already appeared on the rooftop of the rest area.
The first scene He saw when He opened His eyes was the sun hanging high in the sky.
The first sentence He heard was:
"Hey, buddy, that... do you still have that Old Prosperity... I want to exchange two more bottles for Lulu."
Cheng Shi's face instantly turned black.
Damn, bitches are everywhere.
