Just now a mushroom-footed man came to ask you, a fake god, when will today's test begin.

So, Master Shenshi, what exactly is today's test? Have you figured it out?"

Cheng Shi had a strange look on his face, as if there was something else behind Hong Lin's words.

"I am not a fake, I am now the real messenger of Prosperity!"

"Yes, yes, you are God shit, you are God shit, no one will argue with you."

"?"

Cheng Shi's face looked even more strange. He was just about to ask if the "envoy" Hong Lin mentioned had any specific meaning, but the surrounding mushroom-footed people surrounded him enthusiastically after seeing the envoy wake up, and greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, Lord God's Messenger!"

"His Excellency, God's Messenger, be well!"

"Master Divine Envoy, please come this way. The clan leader is waiting for your summons at the central altar."

Look, I didn't just call myself that, they all think so.

Cheng Shi responded with a smile, straightened his clothes, then quickly passed Hong Lin and walked to the front.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the central altar of the tribe.

When the old patriarch saw the divine messenger coming, he hurried over to greet him, but Cheng Shi didn't even give him a chance to greet him. He went straight to the point and said:

"To make a long story short, His people, today, the second test that our Lord has given you is this: Piety with corruption at its side!

The 'Eternal Lamp' bestowed by Him contains the power of corruption that erodes faith. This is a test of your piety from my Lord. There is no doubt that you have proved your piety with practical actions over the past few hundred years, but whether this piety is real remains to be verified.

And today is the verification of your piety.

We will take the wild lantern away and wander in the Sighing Forest for a day, returning only at sunset. We will then verify whether the [Decay] in the wild lantern still has the effect of corroding it, or whether it has been tampered with."

"Lord God's Messenger, we..." The old patriarch became a little anxious when he heard this, but Cheng Shi waved his hand to interrupt his explanation.

“No need to explain. When we returned yesterday, we had already confirmed the effectiveness of the wild lantern. I am aware of your current situation and I believe in your piety.

But my Lord’s test is not to be taken lightly, so what happens today must be accomplished.

Just relax and wait for tomorrow."

The old patriarch felt relieved when he heard this. As long as the gods in charge of the gate believed that the mushroom-footed people were pious, then there was nothing to be uneasy about.

What's more, this test does not require the cooperation of the mushroom-footed people. They have already proved themselves in the previous hundred years.

So the mushroom-footed people in the tribe crawled down again and shouted loudly to the players:

"Praise [Prosperity], praise the messenger of God!"

The old patriarch looked nervous and reminded: "The Sighing Forest is full of dangers. Although I have confidence in your abilities, please be careful, especially the Epsilon hidden in the mist..."

Hey, what a coincidence, this is what I was looking for, and I was afraid it wouldn’t appear.

Cheng Shi smiled slightly, nodded and replied:

"It doesn't matter. His glory will protect us."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi signaled Hong Lin to activate the wild lantern and open the fog door leading to the outside of the tribe.

When the fog gate appeared, the players gathered around. Cheng Shi glanced at Zuo Qiu, who was looking down at something beside him, and raised his eyebrows and said:

"Tan shield, go first?"

Zuo Qiu's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't even want to pretend anymore, right?"

"It's not that you can't pretend. If you share with everyone where you went and what you did last night, I'll let you walk behind me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Qiu straightened his face, chest and stepped directly into the door.

Cheng Shi looked at his back, thoughtfully.

"It's quite interesting. It seems that there is something to be gained."
