A touch of joy finally appeared in the somber atmosphere of the meeting room.
This was the original gathering of clowns; although the atmosphere was somber, it was never short of fun.
Soon, the clowns quieted down, each pondering their next move. But then, the doctor's words pulled everyone back from their grand, real-world perspective to the game itself:
"Counting the days, it's about time."
With only 5 days left until the year-long anniversary of the [Game of Faith], this special trial is likely the last one before the anniversary. The path to godhood may be long, but the ladder of audience will soon have a result.
According to the game rules, at the end of the first year, the gods will summon the top ten players of each faith in the Ladder of Audience to a meeting of audiences to show their divine favor.
At the beginning of the game, everyone hoped to use this opportunity to pay homage to the gods, but now... they've probably all seen what they were supposed to see. However, as a special segment of the "Faith Game," are you prepared to participate in the audience?
Praising a foolish joke.
"?"
Upon hearing the word "meeting," Cheng Shi was even somewhat dazed.
He has experienced and suffered so much lately that he has completely forgotten that more than a hundred days have passed since he returned from the real universe.
Is it time to pay homage to God?
But don't we see gods and deities every day?
Cheng Shi pursed his lips. He suddenly wondered if Le Zi's absence was because he was preparing for the audience.
He led me into the real universe, "fastened" time in the world, and upon my return, plunged me into despair with a false time-traveling curtain call that I couldn't refuse. Then, He didn't summon me, only awaiting an audience...
No one would believe that all of this wasn't part of Le Zishen's plan.
But what exactly is He plotting? That hysterical despair is still buried deep in His heart. Even if the God of Joy is not some external god, but truly a member of the Fear faction, truly determined to rebel against the Creator, how can He break free from the shackles of this experiment and achieve victory over the [Primordial One]?
Cheng Shi couldn't imagine it.
The god of pleasure had promised that if he attended the audience as God's chosen one, He would grant him the ability to deceive the gods, and now...
Cheng Shi glanced silently at the rankings on the ladder of audience.
[The Ladder to Audience (Existence-Memory) / (Nothingness-Deception)]
1. Sincere intentions (deception) 235
2. Li Jingming (fraud) 234
3. Is your memory any good? (Fraud) 230
4. So, is your memory any good? (Fraud) 228
5. This Love Can Wait (Memory) 227
6. Poor memory, widow upstairs (fraud) 226
...(Three frauds and eight memories are omitted here...)
18. Flawless Jade (Fraud) 200
19. Middle-aged dementia (memory) 197
20. I never lie (fraud). 196
...
The tail of the truck...
Perhaps everything had been planned in advance. After ending this trial of despair, Cheng Shi just happened to be stuck at the very bottom of the top ten in [Deception], and "luckily" obtained a ticket to the audience.
The first few were all familiar faces, so there was nothing unexpected about them. However, the ID of the 18th person, Wuxia Zhiyu, made Cheng Shi frown slightly, as if he remembered something.
But then he shook his head, realizing he was overthinking things.
[Fraud] barely meets the standard, [Fate] is slightly better, but not by much.
[The Ladder to Audience (Existence-Time) / (Nothingness-Fate)]
1. The Gods Forgot Me (Time) 230
2. I saw you (Fate) 228
...(Eight periods of time and seven destinies are omitted here...)
18. I never lie (fate) 196
19. No (time) 195
20. It's all (fate's) fault. 194
...
After quickly scanning the two lists, a question suddenly popped into Cheng Shi's mind: What's the difference between second to last and last place?
A: There is no difference, because it is the same person.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, saying:
"What do players need to prepare for? On the contrary, it is the gods who should be preparing."
For example, there's the cat who acts as the representative of "Prosperity" but has never shown itself to the believers, and the soon-to-be successor of "War," who will show the believers who the true Grand Marshal is...
Don't look at me like that. What I said is exactly what you understand. You are all smart people, you know what I mean.
We have already secured two of those thrones. To determine which throne we should challenge next, we must first ascertain their attitude toward that sham ending.
Perhaps some of the gods still retain their memories, and I must try to meet them before the audience.
That concludes today's gathering of clowns, everyone. I'm leaving now, feel free to contact me anytime.
Cheng Shi left without hesitation. He still had a lot to figure out. The upcoming audience was like a new net, waiting for the clown to fall and be captured.
Before falling into another "trap" set by the God of Music, Cheng Shi must try his best to understand the current state of the world.
So he returned to the rest area and began to try to worship God.
After Cheng Shi left, the remaining clowns did not rush to leave, but looked at each other and entered the next discussion.
Li Jingming frowned, carefully choosing his words:
"Whether it's a false deduction or a forgotten memory, [existence] has already entered the game."
It seems that [Existence] has also sided with [Deception], but what is the true meaning of the ending of the era in the trial?
