Foolish Game of the Gods

I have two principles as a human being:

1. Never lie.

2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.

Chapter 285: Passing the test, new choice

The players were running back, and Upska was chasing after it, but due to all the interference, even its agile body was affected a lot.

Hong Lin didn't abandon the others after all. After leaving Cheng Shi not far in front of the fog gate, he turned around and used his tail to string up his lagging teammates and brought them back.

Then, amidst Upska's unwilling roar and the gradual darkness of day and night, a group of people rushed into the fog gate and returned to the mushroom-footed people's tribe.

As soon as they landed, the entire tribe cheered loudly.

Cheng Shi clearly saw that the mushroom people still had sad looks on their faces the moment they came out, as if they thought that the messenger of God who they had been waiting for so long was stuck outside. But the moment the five people jumped out of the fog gate, everyone rushed over like crazy.

The old patriarch looked at Cheng Shi with respect, his pious and anxious eyes clearly waiting for a result.

Cheng Shi glanced at all the mushroom-footed people and smiled slightly:

"Congratulations, you've passed the second test."

"Oh - praise [Prosperity]! Praise the messenger of God! Praise the bald master!"

The praises resounded through the sky like a tsunami. Cheng Shi smiled and nudged Hong Lin with his arm, whispering:

"Look, this is the reward for your hard work today. What do you think, Mr. Bald?"

Hong Lin looked at these cheering mushroom-footed people with hope and tears in their eyes, and forced a strange smile on his face.

Obviously, she was not infected by the joy of the scene.

Hong Lin's thoughts were complicated. She was thinking that if Upska was really preying on [Prosperity], then it was hard to say what the future of these mushroom-footed people in front of her would be.

Perhaps she is now being cheered by a group of dying people, and it is very likely that she and her teammates are the ones who killed them.

The others also thought of this problem, so they looked at the mushroom-footed man with complicated expressions.

Although this is only a piece of background history, the ending of history has undoubtedly already written the tragedy of these mushroom-footed people.

Cheng Shi understood what was going on, and said to the old patriarch and the mushroom-footed people, "Today's journey is quite tiring," and then he sent away all the mushroom-footed people and returned to the house with a few players.

When the puppet master blocked the sound of the main house again, Hong Lin looked at Cheng Shi and asked the question that had puzzled her:

"Who is the spark that is about to go out?"

Cheng Shi looked at Hong Lin, at the puppet master, then at the hunter and the shit owner, and suddenly laughed.

"Don't be so serious, it depends on how you want to win?"

"What do you mean?" Hong Lin was slightly surprised after hearing this.

"Before that, I want to confirm one thing with you. These mushroom-footed people really do have the power of "prosperity". Is that true?"

"Yes." Hong Lin didn't quite understand what Cheng Shi meant, but she said truthfully, "I can feel the aura of [prosperity] in their bodies. Even though the power is very weak, so weak that it doesn't seem like they are his followers, but considering that this is the Forest of Sighs, it is understandable."

Cheng Shi nodded.

"Well, since these mushroom-footed people are indeed his believers, then it is relevant for us to understand their lives, or the hopes in their hearts, as extinguished sparks."

Hong Lin pondered for a moment and guessed, "You mean...quality or quantity, choose one or the other, but both are correct?"

"Yes, and no." Cheng Shi paced and analyzed, "His guidance was too vague. Judging from Epska's performance, it seems that He really wants these sinners to awaken Dizel. But in today's battle, I suddenly thought of a strange point, which is:

Where has [decay] gone?

The Forest of Sighs is the place where He watches. Under His nose, the sinners from the surface of the earth are not only being blessed by [Prosperity], but are also using it as food in an attempt to awaken the son of [Prosperity]. All of this should be an unforgivable blasphemy to [Corruption]. Why can He tolerate it?

You know, not all gods are as... uh... as... as tolerant.

So what is He doing?

There must be a reasonable reason why He allowed all this to happen. I can’t think of a reason why He did this, but I can guess an ending for this unreasonable action.

You might as well guess what the ending is. "

Hong Lin frowned and blurted out: "The spark will go out!"

Cheng Shi gave her a thumbs up.

"Yes! The spark is about to go out!

Under the watchful eye of Decay, Epsilon will probably never be awakened by Prosperity, which means that the Fungus-Footed People will most likely be trapped here for generations to serve as its food, which is a lose-lose situation for Prosperity.

He probably won’t get anything, because the spark will definitely go out!

That's why I said that choosing either side could be right. Perhaps as long as we win one side, it will be enough to ignite the prairie fire of passing the trial.

But one side will always suffer a little, either Epsilon or the Fungus-Footed Tribe.

At present, it seems that helping Upska to kill the mushroom-foot tribe is the easiest way. At least the mushroom-foot people... can be killed."

After saying this, Cheng Shi immediately turned his gaze to the other teammates, trying to catch their reactions.

Hong Lin frowned, obviously she was somewhat disdainful of the idea of ​​slaughtering the weak.

The hunter still had a cold expression on his face, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, which showed that he was not opposed to doing so if it could add points.

The puppet master hid behind the puppet and his expression could not be seen. But when Cheng Shi looked at Zuo Qiu, he happened to meet his gaze. Then he saw the historian clapping and praising:
