Chapter 292: Dense Forest Borderland

Bai Jiamu blurted out, "Why are you suddenly telling Bai Liu fortune?!"

"What fortune-telling!" The Inverse God retorted in a seemingly angry manner, "My skill is called [Listening to God's Words], and fortune-telling is two different things!"

"It's all pretty much the same." A teammate from the Slayer Sequence came over next to him with gusto, "What did you figure out?"

The Reverse God's gaze lurched as he smirked, "Counting on the birth of a new god."

Bai Jiamu quickly thought of the group of natives who liked to raise snakes, and the strange attitude of these natives towards Bai Liu, he frowned, "Are you saying that Bai Liu will become the new god of these natives' beliefs in this copy?"

The Inverse God turned around, no emotion audible in his voice: "Sort of."

"But the origin of the gods is the same, Bai Liu can be chosen here, proving that he has been chosen in all the copies, which is why he keeps encountering the old gods ...... level npc."

The Reverse God was quiet for a moment, "The Evil God is favoring Bai Liu as his next successor, and he's inducing Bai Liu to kill God-level NPCs."

Bai Jiamu frowned as he listened, "What do you mean?"

The Inverse God turned his face and was smiling again, "I don't really understand, that is, I saw something godly, the prophecy is like this."

"Even I, as a prophet, sometimes don't understand whether what I prophesy is true, or whether the gods have sent down these words on purpose, so that I may imagine that I am going astray."

The more Bai Jiamu listened, the less he understood, and his eyebrows knit in knots, "You mean God told a lie?"

The Reverse God shook his head, "My skill identity as you know, is similar to that of a Judge in religion, and my skill is to receive the oracle that God sends down about the future, and use this foreshadowing oracle to judge the multitudes."

"The oracles are absolutely true, and God does see everything that will happen in the future about each person."

Bai Jiamu is getting more and more confused, "Then why ......"

The Inverse God lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was contemplating something, and when he opened his mouth again he abruptly changed the subject, "Do you know how you can perfectly deceive someone without lying?"

Bai Jiamu was stunned, "How?"

The Adversary looked up at Bai Jiamu , who had a very peculiar smile on his face, "That is to tell him nothing but the truth about the truth."

"The oracle is the most perfect presentation of this deceptive thinking."

The rain is getting heavier, and there's the eerie smell of a campfire in the dense jungle.

In the center of the indigenous territory, further inland from the lake, stood a shed built of broad leaves and grass roots rubbed together, under which stood a two-man-high wooden statue of an idol with a characteristic oily red paint of grasses and trees applied to its brow and forehead.

Around the idol were placed six heaps of torches, and in such stormy weather the flames not only did not go out, but strangely burned higher and higher as the wind blew.

The natives, whose bodies were covered with red paint, danced around the idol and these six piles of torches in great circles with a strange regularity, striking their knees, and humming under their breath an unknown and eerie tune.

In front of the idol knelt a man lying on all fours in the mud, the traditional indigenous leader, with his hands facing upwards and his head humbly buried in the mud, letting the heavy rain wash over him and praying under his breath:

"O God, you have given us vast lands, abundant rains, forewarned us of enemies and crises, gifted us with the deathly lake of Pluto as a harbor of defense, and sent down sweet rains to help us fight back when the enemy sneaks up on us with his sinful artillery."

"The victory will be ours in the end, for God foretold it all long ago."

"You once sent down an oracle to tell us that the only way to rid ourselves of the evil strangers who had taken over our land and enslaved our bodies was to kill the plant manager."

Slowly, as if in fear of offending this wooden statue, the kneeling man raised his head, and he craned his neck and gazed wildly at the idol:

"You and I are so much in agreement; that factory manager is really a vile stranger as well, confusing us with the appearance of hypocrisy!"

"We have reclaimed our freedom at the direction of your oracle, the next step is to win this war, God, tell us, tell your weak and devout followers, what shall we do?"

"For this, I will offer your favorite offering, our desire and pain!"

After speaking, the man climbed into the shed and attached his ears to the ground, as if listening to the oracles that God had sent down, and nodding his head and responding from time to time, with a solemn look, as if he had really heard something.

Other natives wait with bated breath.

A short while later, the man carefully stepped out of the shed, and he stood, his eyes glittering, an unhidden malice peeking out of his voice:

"God says kill that Guy and that neo-commander and re-push me to the throne and God will give us back everything we once had."

"And all will be at peace again."

On a small boat.

Bai Jiamu was still thinking about the question that the Adversary God had just said, and he didn't hold back from asking a follow-up question, "But Adversary God, even if the oracle has the possibility of inducing deception, even though I don't think that God really exists, didn't you say that very few people other than you have heard that so-called oracle?"

Bai Jiamu was not religious, he was kind of skeptical about all this God-is-not-God stuff, and was okay with bucking God.

This clergyman had a strong sense of self-governance - bucking God and not believing in God, just using prophecy as a reference; sometimes he didn't take the oracle seriously at all, and would even go back on the instructions in the oracle.

That's why this guy was called [Judge Against God] before.

"You're trying to ask me why an NPC in a copy can also hear oracles, right?" The Reverse God sat on the edge of the boat and rowed, he looked back at Bai Jiamu with a smile, "Other than an Inquisitor like me who can make a one-way call to the God from time to time and ask him about oracles, whether or not an ordinary person can hear oracles depends on the intensity of that person's inner desire."

"In other words, that is, most of the oracles that a person can hear are things that he wants to hear from God that are in line with where his own desires are going."

"Most of the cases in history where oracles could be heard were because the person wanted some kind of status, so they just used divine power as a front to persecute others."

The Reverse God retracted his gaze, "But that doesn't rule out the fact that some people are truly able to hear the oracles, and the gods do like to give hints to such people with strong desires, and then use them to control the world after stirring up the world with these people."

"God doesn't want to see the world in a state of peace, so that he has no value for existence."

Several of the Slayer Sequence members who wanted to hear the gossip moved over to crouch next to the Adversary, and the small wooden boat followed, falling to one side.

The Reverse God quickly pivoted his foot to the other side, disliked the two crew members running this way, stabilized the boat, and said rather helplessly, "It's fine if you guys don't help rowing the boat to see me rowing alone, but why are you helping to capsize the boat? You guys are undercover agents sent by the group of traditional natives to assassinate me, right?"

The team nodded fervently, "That's not out of the realm of possibility, the traditionalists have the game advantage, take your head and mutiny over there and we might be able to just lay through."

Against the Gods: "......"

I worked hard to bring them through the game for what exactly.

A few of the Slayer Sequence members are all smiles, knowing full well that they've come to this copy to help Spades grind it out.

The players were already young, and in the course of this back-and-forth with Spades, and with Against the Gods as a tactician, it really felt like a game, and they all played very relaxed.

Bai Jiamu took the oar of the Adversary God and curiously pursued the question, "I don't hear oracles even when my desires are very strong."

The Adversary God squinted at him, "How strong of a desire can you have at such a young age, someone the god looks up to has to have a pretty strong desire."

A team member next to me chimed in meaningfully, "Oh young eh Bai Jiamu, is it when you have the strongest desire to get up every day?"

Bai Jiamu was so annoyed that he raised his pulp and gave the man a blow, "Bai Yi, don't make such colorful jokes to me just because you're my brother-in-law! I'll cut you into pieces and feed you to the fish!"

Bai Yi rubbed his nose, spat out his tongue and shut up.

Bai Jiamu looked to the Adversary God and retorted fiercely with reddened ears, "Isn't Bai Liu young? Didn't you say he was chosen by the gods to be the successor? Then how strong can his desire be? Doesn't he just get up every day and have a go at it!"

Bai Yi retorted slyly from the sidelines, "No, he's married to Spades, so it's him and Spades that's down for the night."

Bai Jiamu: "......"

Against the Gods: "......"

After a while, Bai Yi stroked his chin and added thoughtfully, "Of course if Bai Liu has a strong desire, it's not impossible for him to come back in the morning for a little bit more, and it's also possible that he could go from morning to night ......"

Bai Jiamu lifted his face and hit Bai Yi's buttocks, knocking him down hard.

Bai Yi's head quickly emerged from the water, and he looked incredulously at Bai Jiamu, with a fleshy aggression on his face, "What are you hitting me for? It's not like I said it, Bai Liu said it himself, he said that he and Spades used 18 boxes of avoidance in one night - gulp!!!"

Bai Jiamu stood up and stepped on the side of the boat, with a furious expression, he pressed the oar down on Bai Yi's head one by one: "Shut up, I'm still underage!"

Bai Yi screamed miserably, "Bai Jiamu, you can't stop adults from telling dirty jokes just because you're underage, you're only a month away from being an adult!"

"Adults should have yellow freedom-! Gollum-! Spades is married, are you going to deny the fact that he is seeing someone and having sex! Gollum--!!!"

Bai Yi pushes loud and clear: "You're just not happy that you're the last one on the team who isn't single, even Spades, a purebred straight guy, found a wife before you did ......"

Bai Jiamu red from the ears to the root of the neck, he looked grim and slapped Bai Yi s face twice with an oar.

Bai Yi dizziness fell backward, two eyes of mosquitoes, the water surface gradually no bubbles from floating up.

Bai Jiamu took two deep breaths, then sat down with a red face and a fierce, very composed gaze as he looked squarely at the Adversary, "I don't mind at all, at all, at all that I'm the last single male in the Slayer Sequence team, don't you listen to him."

The Adversary calmly ignored the blood on the oars and gave him a thumbs up, "Great justice, well done."
