Chapter 84 - The Hook is Straight and the Bait is Salty, But Some Fish Just Love to Bite

In the end, the two deceivers still ended up together.

For no other reason than fear of death.

Players at their level rarely have direct contact with the Void.

Meeting the Gods doesn't count.

To ensure safety, the two decided to act together.

However, whether acting together was more dangerous or safer was still undecided.

They walked in the Void for a long time, exploring every direction, and finally discovered that this was a spherical Void surrounded by Void Rifts.

The good news was that the Void Rifts were expanding outwards, so as long as they didn't move around randomly, their living space wouldn't be squeezed.

The bad news was that the only path to the outside world seemed to be through the Void Rifts.

Even worse news was that in this not-small Void space, besides the two of them, all their other teammates were gone.

Had they been scattered into other Void spaces, or had they already been annihilated by the Void, ending their Trial careers?

No one could answer this question for them.

Perhaps only by escaping from here could they find the answer.

As for why they absolutely had to leave this seemingly harmless space...

Although Time flows in the Void, it is not equivalent to Time in reality.

Perhaps a thousand years pass here, but only an instant in reality.

Therefore, waiting in the Void is useless.

"Clown, figure something out."

"I'm thinking, Da Jiang, stop rushing me."

Cheng Shi was truly fed up with Su Yida's chattering; this person showed no distress about his identity being exposed, chattering along the way just like before, asking about everything, wanting to know everything.

But whenever Cheng Shi asked a question in return, not a single word that came out of his Mouth was the truth.

This kind of mentally draining conversation made Cheng Shi feel like he was going to break down.

You're not Da Jiang of the Demon Realm, brother, you're Tripitaka!

"It's obvious, the Void Rift is the only way out, it's impossible for a Void Maw Swallowing Whale to appear this time, you can't deceive me, I can't deceive you, activate your wild imagination and let me see it one more time."

He He.

In the end, are you the slacker or am I the slacker?

Cheng Shi completely ignored He, sat down directly, and started resting.

"Giving up? Giving up already? You're not thinking of waiting for them to find us?

Wake up, only followers of nothingness can walk in the Void.

They are already dead, you know this, don't you?

There's nothing to repent for, this world is like this, the strong prey on the weak.

Only the strong deserve to live."

"What makes you strong? Mouth King?

"I am strong in my desire, strong in my persistence, strong in my refusal to admit defeat, only by becoming stronger can I get closer to them, only then can I study them, only then can I become them!

Think about it, path to godhood, such an obvious hint, follow this path, and we will ascend to Godhood!"

Cheng Shi He He.

"Haven't you ever thought that the cloth you weave is for others to make clothes from?"

"Of course I have, or rather, we have always known, that's why we study, explore, and forge ahead, carving out an unprecedented path that leads to Their divine thrones."

Su Yida's expression became firm and fanatical, as if this path had long been built, just waiting for He to step onto it.

"...The Lǐ Zhì Association is really crazy."

"No, it's not us who are crazy, it's you.

Living in the game of the Gods, thinking you are something, being seen as a joke by them yet not getting angry at all, this is not a Player, but a plaything!

Are you willing to be a plaything?

Cheng Shi, I think highly of you, join us, join us and achieve great things, perhaps in the future, you too will sit on those divine thrones like me, looking down on all living beings."

"..."

Cheng Shi didn't speak; He wasn't considering the possibility of joining the Lǐ Zhì Association, but rather wondering if He had some kind of constitution that attracted associations, why did every organization want Him to join?

However, Su Yida's words were quite sincere, not a single lie.

This not only allowed Cheng Shi to understand the mental state of the Lǐ Zhì Association Players again, but also made Him think of a way to break the situation.

Although this method was a bit underhanded, it might lead to a mutually agreeable outcome.

In fact, the situation was very clear, it was a repeat of the scene above the dividing line just now, only the number of people who needed to make a choice had changed from six to two.

Someone had to go and see what was behind the Void Rift.

Cheng Shi didn't want to go, so the answer naturally was that Su Yida had to go.

But this Peers would definitely not go voluntarily, so Cheng Shi had to think of a way.

"Do you want to know how the divinity within my body was sealed?"

Su Yida wasn't stupid; the reason He still believed that Cheng Shi's body contained sealed prosperity divinity after knowing Cheng Shi's identity was the trace of Leliel's aura that Cheng Shi revealed.

The aura of ancient prosperity could not deceive anyone.

This kind of thing was very difficult to fabricate with talents, at least He hadn't found a Fraud talent that could simulate divinity so far.

So upon hearing this, Su Yida's chattering voice finally stopped.

He looked at Cheng Shi with a face full of surprise, frowning and saying:

"You want to trade this secret for me to try and die? Do you think that's possible?"

Cheng Shi ignored He, and continued to speak to Himself:

"That prosperity God Chosen, of course, we didn't know He was a God Chosen before.

He had something that looked very much like a half-artifact in His hand; He used that thing to cut open the Void, and then threw us and the divinity in together.

Under the grinding of the Void Rift, the divinity was squeezed into our bodies."

Su Yida was first stunned, and then His face quickly darkened.

He understood Cheng Shi's meaning; this was using bait to lure Himself to scout the way.

How ridiculous.

Would I be so foolish?

Su Yida sneered twice:

"Why don't you make it sound even more fake; even if I didn't have 'Deception Master', I could hear the flaws in your words.

The Void contains everything, why wouldn't the divinity directly dissipate into the Void, but instead be squeezed into your body?

Listen, do you believe yourself?"

Cheng Shi shook His head, and then smiled:

"I am merely stating the facts; as for whether you believe it or not, it's none of my business."

Su Yida frowned again, clearly also lost in thought.

Cheng Shi lowered His head, the corner of His Mouth slightly curved.

So, what He said before was true.

He really possessed a portion of divinity, and was indeed looking for a way to store divinity.

So the only lies in that sentence before were two: one was the method He used to obtain the divinity, and the other was whether He had joined the Lǐ Zhì Association!

But His invitation just now was not a lie, so what He concealed was the method of obtaining divinity.

Indeed, if there was a method to obtain divinity, for that group of lunatics in the Tower of Rationality, they would never share it with others.

Should have thought of it earlier.

Su Yida himself had a method to obtain divinity!

What He wanted was this illusory prosperity divinity within His own body!

Cheng Shi seemed to instantly understand this point, and pursed His Mouth.

So that's how it is!

This dog-like person had been using mixed and redundant false information to mislead Him, keeping His attention focused on the Lǐ Zhì Association.

And this kind of guidance was nothing more than wanting to pave the way for a lie that hadn't been spoken yet, or waiting for Himself to make misjudgments because of this information, thereby gaining the initiative in the subsequent situation and seizing the divinity on His body.

Fortunately, the divinity was fake, and the timing of His attack was not too late.

Now, it's my turn to take the initiative.

But it seems that the current bait is not attractive enough.

"You heard the history Gao Yu told, right?

Although you walked away at that time, I know you definitely heard it."

Su Yida was noncommittal, Cheng Shi smiled and continued.

"He likes to wander in the Void, there is no doubt about this.

Whether it's to get closer to existence, or for His own malicious amusement, in short, He is watching everything in the Void.

You say, is there a possibility that He is currently...

Watching us?"

Without a doubt, Cheng Shi was talking about Their Lord, Fraud.

And what He wanted to express was also this.

Why, when someone and divinity appeared in the Void Rift at the same time, did the divinity not dissipate into the Void but was squeezed into the human body?

Is there a possibility...

All of this is His will?

It is the greatest known fact among all God of Amusement followers that the God of Amusement likes to watch amusement.

So...

Su Yida understood.

The meaning Cheng Shi wanted to convey was: He had previously created the result of the divinity being sealed within Cheng Shi's body, and at this moment, He was also watching the present.

This meant that as long as Su Yida dared to walk into the Void Rift, He would, like Cheng Shi, very likely have a portion of divinity sealed within His body.

As for side effects...

The Birth identity was fake, so naturally there were no so-called side effects.

In any case, incorporating divinity into the body was an excellent environment for studying divinity; even if He was not a member of the Lǐ Zhì Association, as long as He was interested in becoming a God, He could not refuse this temptation!

Su Yida looked at Cheng Shi with a complex expression, finally understanding His intention.

This was not a scam.

But an open scheme.

An open scheme targeting Himself, a Player who wanted to ascend to the divine throne!

His eyes became incomparably serious, and the tangled emotions were written all over His face; after much deliberation, He finally chose to "believe".

There was no other way; the temptation to contain divinity within Himself was simply too great for Him!

"Cheng Shi, you won."

After speaking, Su Yida walked towards the nearest Void Rift without hesitation.
