The most revered priest of Fire Stealing Village secretly worships an Unknown Evil God behind the scenes and plans to topple Fire Stealing Village. Truly, it's a case of "Why is His Majesty plotting rebellion?"
Yang Qizhou finally understood—this Old Earth is nothing more than a massive werewolf ga. You won't know who's human and who's the wolf until the cards are flipped.
"Good thing I'm a player."
Yang Qizhou grinned and happily continued playing the ga.
"A long night has passed, and you awaken from your slumber."
"You feel an overwhelming urgency, knowing that sothing terrifying is about to happen in Fire Stealing Village. As a reckless explorer ard with cheats, four choices now lie before you:"
"Choose to flee Fire Stealing Village imdiately."
"Stay and observe the situation calmly."
"Find Lena and tell her the truth."
"Return to the Evil Altar to search for a thod to intervene."
"At this crossroads of fate, how will you decide?"
Having four options, Yang Qizhou's expression grew increasingly serious.
'Dark Crow of Profane Fortune' only allows you to rewind once to the mont of choice; the sa decision cannot be revisited. This ans he can only explore two paths in total, giving him a fifty percent chance of picking a good ending. However, if he chooses wrong, Fire Stealing Village will likely be no more.
"Flee Fire Stealing Village imdiately? Definitely not. The wraith Alice is still outside waiting. The mont I step out, getting slapped to death would actually be rciful; she'd probably corpse-camp and torture repeatedly."
"Stay calm and observe? That's just throwing in the towel. Highly unlikely to stop Fire Stealing Village's annihilation."
"That leaves with just two viable options."
Yang Qizhou's gaze deepened.
"The Evil Altar has invisible creatures guarding it, along with the Fire Stealing Ancient God's priest. And thanks to my earlier premature strike, approaching it would likely lead to instant death."
"However, Lena—because I handed over the 'Night Watcher's Remains' earlier—has a favorable impression of . She might be worth approaching."
Having made his decision, Yang Qizhou hesitated no longer and clicked the third option.
The text on screen continued updating.
"You suppress the panic in your heart and locate Captain Lena, explaining to her about the 'priest secretly worshiping the Unknown Evil God.'"
"Lena's expression remained composed as she asked, 'Are you finished?'"
"You replied, 'Yes, that's everything.'"
"A fire sparked in Lena's eyes, and suddenly your body ignited. The excruciating pain made you cry out in horror, repeatedly asking, 'Why?'"
"Lena stated, 'The priest is the chosen envoy of the Fire Stealing Ancient God, whose blessing protects Fire Stealing Village from the horrific abominations of the wilderness. They are held in the highest esteem and possess noble character—how could they possibly commit to worshiping an Evil God? You, on the other hand, are the wicked deceiver sent by the Evil God to corrupt us.'"
"Your consciousness gradually faded, and you saw Lena heading toward the priest's residence."
"You were reduced to ashes."
"You're dead."
???
The seemingly correct option turned out to be wrong?
Won are undeniably fickle—favor one mont, rciless slaughter the next.
After all, bizarre deaths in myriad forms are basically the main the of *Deceit World*. Yang Qizhou managed to stay composed, rely griping about it to himself before deciding to activate the 'Dark Crow of Profane Fortune' effect.
But then, sothing dawned on him. He quickly scrolled up to check the text, and a line caught his eye.
"You saw Lena heading toward the priest's residence."
"Maybe there's a chance to gamble on this."
Yang Qizhou muttered under his breath, hesitated for a mont, and ultimately chose to be resurrected normally.
"You awaken again in Fire Stealing Village."
"You feel lost. Lena's distrust and sudden attack caught you completely off guard. You're unsure of the path ahead—perhaps it's ti to leave Fire Stealing Village."
"The effects of Lena's favorability toward you were triggered."
"Two hours pass, and as you were preparing to leave, the bloodied Lena suddenly bursts in."
"Her injuries are severe, her body drenched in blood. Her left arm is completely gone, and half her face has been chewed away—this horrifying sight shocks you greatly."
"Through Lena's account, you learn what happened."
"After killing you, Lena went to the priest's residence intending to report the matter. However, your words had made her especially wary of the priest's ho, leading her to accidentally discover the altar dedicated to the 'Dream Hidden King.' She was then attacked by invisible hunting hounds and chased by the priest, barely escaping alive."
"Lena is now on the brink of death."
"Because you handed Lena the 'Night Watcher's Remains,' she now only trusts you and tasks you with going to 'Dark Mist Town' to find the leader of the Fire Stealing Sect to inform them of the impending crisis facing Fire Stealing Village and plead for their aid."
"As death looms nearer, Lena becos reflective, revealing a secret she's never told anyone before."
"In her childhood mischief, she once carelessly ventured into the wilderness and accidentally fell off a cliff. There, she stumbled upon a stone plate known as the 'Desecration' Stone Plate, which recorded forbidden secrets about wizards. Because wizards were taboo beings who once brought calamity to Old Earth, she was too afraid to read the contents and fled hurriedly, never telling anyone—not even her father, Porter."

"Now she's entrusting this secret to you alone."
"Another crossroads of fate has appeared. Will you choose to accept Lena's request or reject her trust?"
"The 'Dark Crow of Profane Fortune' caws, eerie clarity erges in your mind. You can return to the previous mont of choice to rewrite your fate."
"So, mighty explorer, what will your decision be?"
Turns out, he'd gambled correctly. A smile crept across Yang Qizhou's face.
He had initially suspected that Lena's favorability might unlock a hidden storyline. Turns out, his assumption was spot-on—the 'Night Watcher's Remains' is indeed the key to triggering this hidden quest.
As for what decision to make,
Previously, Yang Qizhou probably would've chosen to accept the request and head toward the next map, 'Dark Mist Town,' leaving Fire Stealing Village to fend for itself.
But now, he changed his mind.
Lena discovered the so-called 'Desecration' Stone Plate containing secrets about wizards?
Yang Qizhou has always been curious about wizards and wondered what actions could've caused them to be despised by both gods and demons on Old Earth. Just possessing a **Kan Rui's Wizard Ring** had gotten him killed by Old God believers and struck down by Night Watchers.
Although Yang Qizhou had no desire to beco a wizard with an innate Taunt Aura, he was eager to uncover the truth.
So he chose the third option,
"You return to the previous mont of choice..."
