The Boss was much more reliable than those so-called Benefactors.
When Cheng Shi left the Fishbone Hall, it was exactly like his mood when he was first granted the SSS-rank Servant God Relic, the Bone Servant Le Le'er's Ring—excited and invigorated.
This was of course not because of Boss [Death]'s domineering promise. Anyone can talk; the main thing is still seeing the actions.
Especially for soone like the Greed Lord who doesn't release the eagle until he sees the hare, no matter how extravagantly you speak, it's still not as good as giving so actual benefits.
And the reason he was able to recover the happiness from a long ti ago this ti, was naturally because the benefits Boss [Death] gave far exceeded his imagination!
Cheng Shi himself had forgotten that the Bone Servant Redeer's Offspring ring in his hand actually contained one-half of [Thundering]'s divinity, which was stripped from Execution's Hour.
And at that ti, Boss [Death] had said that the other half of [Thundering]'s divinity was also with Him, it was just that he was too weak and didn't have the qualifications to obtain it yet. When he had walked further, He would grant him the other half.
At that ti, Cheng Shi was seeking an audience with [Death] for the first ti. How would he know that the Boss's every spit was a driving nail (His words were as solid as nails)? He actually thought this was the customary thod of gods drawing a big pie (making empty promises), so he just begged the Boss to forge a Servant God Relic ring for him.
But today, just now, Boss [Death] fulfilled His promise. He deed that Cheng Shi had arrived at the position He had hoped for, and walked a sufficiently far distance!
Furthermore, the way this promise was fulfilled greatly shocked Cheng Shi.
Because [Death] once again used that 'rough' but 'practical' thod of creation to strip away the other divinity impurities inside the ring, fused a complete portion of [Thundering] divinity, and used the endless power of [Death] to forge that portion of divinity into sothing Cheng Shi didn't even dare to imagine:
A Container!
That's right, a Container of [Order]!
It was hard to say whether [Death] already had a Container of [Order] hidden in His hands from the start. After all, Cheng Shi completely couldn't understand the gods' forging thods. He only saw wisps of [Order] divinity shining with holy light being hamred into a lump, and then from that endless light dropped out an [Order] Container that looked exactly like two Holy Light Gavels connected upside down.
It 'dropped' out, not 'transford'.
He saw with his own eyes that the [Thundering] divinity was still there, but the Container just appeared like this.
Every ti the faith inside the Container dripped down a little, the pitch-blackness in the entire void seemingly also beca orderly along with it.
Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. He absolutely never expected that the 'Divine Throne' he sought but couldn't get from [The Wrath of Abomination] was actually pushed right in front of his eyes by Boss [Death].
The mont he received the Container, Cheng Shi proactively 'forgot' the 'clumsy thod' the Boss used to take back the [Thundering] divinity.
Let's just consider it as having been forged.
It's not easy for the elderly to act either.
One didn't make a sound, and one 'didn't see' it. The scene was unusually harmonious.
But the 'elderly' ultimately still wanted so face. A mont later, the giant skull buzzed an explanation:
"This is, the Container, of [Thundering].
Back then, He, was executed by, the hands, of [Order]. We, obtained, His, half, divinity, and picked up, His, Container..."
Hearing this, Cheng Shi's brows shot up. Was it really picked up?
Milord, this 'picked up' of Yours... wouldn't happen to be like , also 'picked up' from soone else's hands, right?
Tsk, no wonder You can play together with the Fear Faction. In so aspects, You guys are indeed very similar.
[Death] seed to have seen through what Cheng Shi was thinking, but He did not bla him. Instead, He faintly sighed:
"Now, since you, need, voting power, then use this, and take back, the vote, of [Order]."
Of course Cheng Shi wouldn't refuse, and he also had no reason to refuse. He even specially showed his gratitude by not hesitating to spend ti at the end of the era where every second counts, eloquently praising the Boss for thousands of words, and then was subsequently directly thrown out of the Fishbone Hall by a dark-faced [Death].
Looking at the [Order] Container in his hand, Cheng Shi sighed with infinite emotion.
Good news: confidence
1.
Bad news: the newly arrived confidence fell into a bottomless heart, so it's still bottomless.
Besides this, there was also a neither good nor bad piece of news: Le Le'er, this pitiful daughter of [Prosperity]... ultimately thoroughly faded into oblivion in this era.
The Bone Servant Redeer's Offspring ring completely shattered, and Cheng Shi forever lost his Lightning Punishnt.
Stroking the only remaining winding and twisting [Ti of Eternal Imprisonnt] on his finger, Cheng Shi's gaze was firm, instantly beginning a new round of summons.
It was ti to head to the appointnt with Jie Shu.
No matter when, passing the fire, cannot stop.
...
The world is not one person's world, and the stage will never only have one protagonist.
Just as [Deceit] fled out of the world to head to the Real Universe, and Cheng Shi was busy seeking an audience with [Death], at another part of the void, a few audiences were similarly being staged.
In the depths of the endless void, a pair of deity's eyes completely sared in chaotic white miasma looked down at the questioner before Him without saying a word.
The floating small wooden puppet did not stop his questioning due to his Benefactor's silence. He repeated for the who knows how many-th ti:
"Do You admit that everything You just did was a foolish act?
Since You already saw through [Deceit]'s foolish act, why did You still want to confuse the public and point out that Yu Xi was actually [Deceit]?
Knowing Folly is a massive cri of blasphemy. As the god of [Folly], whose wisdom tops the Universe in the eyes of Your followers, why did You not hesitate to personally commit a foolish act just to make Yu Xi believe all this?
Can I understand this as You approving of [Deceit]'s foolish act, and thus generating hopes and expectations You shouldn't fantasize about towards a world inherently without a future?"
"..."
[Folly] didn't say a word, yet also did not leave.
The small wooden puppet rested for a mont, and continued:
"I only thought that it was only at the end of the [Chaos] era that [Folly] would head towards [Silence].
I didn't expect that at the end of the [Void] era, [Folly] would still head towards [Silence].
Since You are unwilling to talk about this matter, then let us change the topic.
I have t Galusha. That lunatic who left her na down the ages in the long river of history in the Land of Hope, who worshipped You the most, was most like You, and also once had the most hope of becoming Your Envoy.
Her identity now is a player. Ironically, she turned into how she looked when she was young, and beca a follower of [Truth] again.
And the interesting thing is: why would a living creature that should have faded into oblivion in the past appear at the end of the era?
At first I didn't care, because there are many people like her. Mostly they are just to 'stay alive', and have no impact on the era's progress.
Until I found out she was brought out of history by the fixed destiny... On the spider web, there have never hung useless people.
Regardless of who is pushing all this forward, this shows that Your ga with Him has had a result. [Deceit] guessed sothing, so He left behind a backup plan.
And purely by coincidence, the fixed destiny also recently asked
a question. What do You guess he asked?"
"..."
"You definitely guessed it. The gods of the [Void] faction all have preparations for this. I suppose You also have preparations, right?
The future of this Starry Sky cannot accommodate any single old god. So the fixed destiny pointed at
and said I should be the future [Folly].
Thus I wanted to co and ask You:
Great [Folly], when do You prepare to die?"
"..."
"Look, even if I denounce a god to Your face, or even personally force You to die, You are still sufficiently tolerant towards .
Aside from [Fate] towards the fixed destiny, I cannot think of any other deity who can reach this step.
Would [Folly]?
No. Based on my understanding of Him, He shouldn't be like this.
But He is clearly the wisest Wise Man within this Universe. Even if He committed a foolish act, it should also have deep aning. So I thought about it carefully, and then arrived at an answer I shouldn't know and also sowhat cannot accept.
Today's audience is destined to not be pleasant, so I'll just ask directly:
Lord Benefactor, do You still need Your authority?"
Saying so, the small wooden puppet took a step forward.
Those eyes of white miasma ignored the follower before Him, looking with a deep gaze towards the direction outside the world. After a long while, He suddenly let out a sneer:
"A new era is about to open, and the foolish acts belonging to you will also arrive.
Do you think your foolish act will have an answer?"
The small wooden puppet pondered deeply for a long ti, and nodded:
"I understand.
This is Your answer."
