"What is this happening? I just named my Job since I couldn't think of anything. But... What's with this sudden change? Was it a bad move?" Hao-Yun thought...
Immediately, He turned towards Evelyn, her mouth was left open by what he just said, she couldn't believe how he'd bluff so much, especially to God itself.
However, nothing could be done now that he had already said those things. She had no choice but to join him as well. She could see there was a slim chance of their escape.
She said, "He's right, Goddess Xianyu, God Morelian. My Master also said similar things to you. I... I am... no, my Master is none other than the only figure in existence, she who could bend time at her will, and manipulate the void."
"The Great Ancient Figure... The Almighty...
"VOID EMPRESS!"
RUMMMBLE...
KA-BOOM!
The lightning once again struck on the ground, the sky became even darker, and the faces of the Goddess, God, and the Divine Guards were even fiercer.
"Hao-Yun, did I do it right?" Evelyn asked.
"Hmm... It was great! Now all that's left is to see if these folks bite on the bait or not."
Eun-Chae was so scared she turned off her brain and fell to the ground.
After a long pause, Goddess Xianyu spoke.
"What you two just said, was it true? You know the consequences of lying, right?"
"There's no way we would lie to you, Goddess... heh-heh, what we said is absolutely true."
God Morelian glared at them, "If that's the case, then show us some proof."
Hao-Yun and Evelyn took a step back, "Proof? Ah, Proof, right? Hmm... Proof?"
Evelyn whispered in Hao-Yun's ear, "What do we do now? Do you have any proof for your bluff?"
Hao-Yun confidently said, "Not only me, but you also have enough proof."
"What?" Evelyn was confused.
"Yeah, just think about it, we just named our Jobs, but these guys seem to be familiar with it. So won't using our energy that has the essence of our Jobs become the ultimate proof?"
"Hmm... it sounds like it could work." Evelyn was convinced.
Both came in front of the two and said in unison, "Here is the proof, Goddess Xianyu, God Morelian."
Both released a bit of their real energy that was infused with the essence of their Jobs. The moment the two Gods saw their energy, they nodded to each other. Shifted their personality, took a 180° turn, and said.
"Oh, so it's the Envoys of the Lords. We knew from the beginning who you were, but it's just that we had to abide by Heaven's Law. Please don't tell about it to the Lords."
Hao-Yun and Evelyn were dumbfounded by this sudden change.
"Heh-Heh, don't worry, Goddess, God, we won't say anything." Hao-Yun shamelessly said.
"Dear Envoys, we know who you two are, but what about this third girl? She looks so frail, she can't be the same as you?" God Morelian asked.
Since Hao-Yun was full of confidence, his bluffing power had also increased. He said, "This girl is a reincarnation of my Master's late maid, who died in a fierce battle. So he asked us to bring some of the Ash to restore her past life's memories and strength."
The Goddess was satisfied, "Oh, so that's the case... As expected of Lords, they treat even their servants with utmost care."
"Great God, Great Goddess, we are getting late, we should leave now," said Evelyn.
Both agreed immediately, "That's right, it's not a good thing to let the Mighty Lords wait; we would escort you three to the exit."
"We are grateful for that." Said Hao-Yun and Evelyn.
The Divine Guards once again returned to their positions, while the two Gods escorted Hao-Yun, Evelyn, and Eun-Chae back to the entrance of the town.
At the entrance, Hao-Yun said, "Thanks for your hospitality, we would say good words about you to our Masters."
The Gods seemed extremely overjoyed with this. However, Hao-Yun and Evelyn ran at their full speed with Hao-Yun carrying Eun-Chae on his shoulder.
The portal was formed, and the three stepped into it, returning to Eun-Chae's room.
Finally, they took a sigh of relief.
However... after a few seconds, both burst into Laughter.
Pfft-Hahaha!
"Ahahaha, I can't believe we fooled the Gods!" said Hao-Yun.
"Pfft... They looked so gullible when they were totally convinced we were some Envoys." Evelyn burst into laughter.
"Still, the most hilarious thing was when you said Eun-Chae was a reincarnation of a maid... What's even the reincarnation of a maid? Ahahaha, no... I can't... I can't stop laughing... It was really a bizarre journey."
Soon, Eun-Chae woke up. But she couldn't understand why both Hao-Yun and Evelyn were laughing.
"Hao-Yun, Evelyn, both of you, listen to me, I saw the worst nightmare ever, we were captured by Gods and were about to be imprisoned for eternity."
Hao-Yun and Evelyn burst once again, confusing Eun-Chae.
After calming down a bit, they explained to her how their bluff completely convinced the Gods and created an escape route for them.
Eun-Chae asked, "So, that means my Task has already been completed?"
Hao-Yun said, "Just look at your System Panel, if you don't believe."
Eun-Chae checked her System Panel.

"I...It's... too much... I even received extra rewards." Eun-Chae was overwhelmed.
"Really? Hurry up! Write it on paper, we also want to see it." Hao-Yun asked her.
"Y-Yes..."
Eun-Chae wrote everything on paper. However, both were shocked. Her stats were even absurd than Evelyn's. It was like every other person Hao-Yun found or encountered was favored by luck.
While observing Eun-Chae's Rewards, Hao-Yun noticed quite a few things. The first was that she received the same Extra Rewards as he did, meaning she could also become the next Mythical Job Holder.
Then, she received an Item Box, while he was rewarded with a Storage Box. Both things look the same, work the same, but probably have different mechanisms.
The last two things are her Divine Skill, The Only Alchemist, which lets her craft any type of concoction with a 99% percent success rate, and her second Divine Skill, which lets her Appraise everything.
Depending on circumstances, it could be the best thing possible or the worst thing ever if she were to fall into bad hands.
Soon after realizing this, Hao-Yun shares it with Evelyn, and both decide to recruit Eun-Chae in their Guild regardless of what method they have to use.
Both changed their tone, "Dear Chae-Chae, are you feeling fine?"
Eun-Chae was confused; she couldn't understand what they were scheming.
"Huh? Why are you talking like that, and please don't call me Chae-Chae!"
