All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 159 Athena's Sincerity
It must be said that the myriad worlds truly hold infinite possibilities.

There are people who don't need to "change people's hearts for the sake of heaven" or work hard to advance the world; they can directly elevate the world and obtain the mark of the heavens simply by relying on their own talents.

It's like they've been given a cheat code.

“Actually, I can’t be sure if you’re really Di Shitian or Chu Xiu in disguise!” Athena continued, “I just have a feeling that it’s too illogical for Hui Shu to be able to capture Di Shitian right under your nose. Everything went too smoothly. Unless the information we’ve gathered about you is wrong, and you’re just a figurehead, you shouldn’t have succeeded so easily!”

It turns out that she didn't see through Chu Xiu, but rather deduced his identity.

Currently, Chu Xiu has not yet shown his face. Normally, others wouldn't even know that he has entered this game, let alone directly conclude that Di Shitian is an imposter!

But Athena, as the goddess of wisdom, is far more intelligent than most.

She only glanced at the information about Chu Xiu and concluded that Chu Xiu would definitely enter this game; there was no way he wouldn't.

A person who ranks first on two lists, and is in a class of his own.

Would they just stand by and watch others seize resources from their region, choosing instead to give way?

She thought it was impossible!

After Ye Lingxian appeared, she became even more certain that Chu Xiu had definitely come!
However, she did not tell Hui Shu, but continued to follow her plan, sending Jue Wushen to stir up trouble and take the opportunity to capture Di Shitian.

However, Athena's original plan was for Chu Xiu to discover her.

We've captured him; we'll try to persuade him to surrender.

Then she surrendered.

From the information she received, Chu Xiu was a person who valued his subordinates highly and wouldn't treat his fighting force as a expendable resource. Moreover, he was far more powerful than Hui Shu could ever imagine, so after she submitted to him, she didn't need to worry about being retaliated against.

To her surprise, the flawed plan succeeded easily.

She didn't even see the "Seven Deadly Situations" or other moves that Di Shitian might have used, which she expected, and he defeated her directly—the ease with which he did it was unusual in itself, so she became suspicious.

Even at the risk of being discovered by Hui Shu, he still took the initiative to speak to "Di Shitian".

"If you're not just all talk, you'll hear what I'm saying. I sincerely hope you'll accept me as your subordinate; I promise I won't let you down. In return, I can help you find Hye-sook's hiding place. Compared to you, her methods are still too naive!"

Athena continued.

"If you really are Emperor Shitian, then it means that Chu Xiu is just a name without substance, and that doesn't matter!"

Having said that, she said no more and turned to leave the altar.

But if someone looked closely at her expression, they would definitely see a hint of expectation and worry in her eyes—betraying Hye-sook, that "creator goddess," requires a lot of determination and courage, and she had actually gambled everything.

If it doesn't work out, Hye-sook will definitely not let her off the hook.

That woman is extremely ruthless.

Therefore, you must bet correctly.

Athena guessed that Chu Xiu would call her back after she turned around, so she walked very slowly. It took her almost half an hour to walk across the square, which was only a few hundred meters long.

However, Chu Xiu did not respond at all during this half hour.

They didn't even call out to her.

This made Athena increasingly uneasy, and she finally shook her head and quickened her pace back to her residence—she felt that she might really be overthinking things.

Judging from Chu Xiu's top ranking, it can be concluded that he is also unsolvable in this dungeon.

That's a bit too impulsive.

The fourth-tier level is too big a leap; the opponent may not be able to control the overall situation and may not have reacted at all.

"If even the so-called 'top of both lists' can only achieve this, then the people of Blue Star are not so terrifying. If I could find a way to strip Hui Shu of her divine position, or even replace her, would it be possible for me to completely escape my fate?" Athena thought to herself.

She is the goddess of wisdom and also the goddess of war.

Not only is he smart, but he is also ambitious.

"But how exactly can the mark of the heavens be broken?" Athena pondered. "If we lure a powerful enemy to attack Hui Shu and shatter the mark, won't her weakness in using trickery be exposed, thus losing the opportunity to re-form the mark?"

But the problem has returned to square one.

Who has the power to shatter the mark?
Is it the "God of Time and Space" from the North District, or the one from the West District?

Chu Xiu was so disappointing, she felt that there was really not much hope for the other two!
“I guess you’re thinking about having someone else break the mark, so that Hui Shu, who hasn’t completed the ‘human heart to heaven’s heart’, can’t be in harmony with the Dao, thus completely disconnecting from the world you’re in, and you’ll be free, right?”

A voice suddenly rang out, startling Athena.

Following the sound, she froze on the spot: in her residence, Chu Xiuzheng was sitting on her usual bed with his legs crossed, looking her up and down.

His face showed a look of pity.

"But you've already been placed in this world. Even if you're free in your original world, you can't go back. You'll be controlled by the master of this world, just jumping from one cage to another, never finding liberation!"

In truth, the indigenous people are quite tragic figures.

They can't become players; even if they leave the world, they can only be lonely ghosts wandering in the river of time.

Whether or not one can retain consciousness is a question.

"It seems I wasn't wrong. Hui Shu is on a completely different level from you. She's hiding and afraid to show herself because she's afraid of you, while you're not showing yourself because you don't want to scare her away!"

A relieved smile suddenly appeared on Athena's face.

"May I offer you my loyalty?"

"That depends on your sincerity!"

"Sincerity?" Athena smiled, removed her armor, and said, "Is this enough?"

Chu Xiu: "..."

His true self was elsewhere, with Zhou Wushang by his side, so he couldn't enjoy this sincerity. As for the one who came here, it was just a celestial baby whose face had been transformed into his appearance. He could control it, but it was ultimately not him, not even a clone.

"Not enough!" Chu Xiu shook his head.

Athena: “???”

I've already taken off my armor, and you say that's not enough sincerity?
"Do you think someone like me would be obsessed with beautiful women?" Chu Xiu said seriously, "The sincerity I want is for you to take me to find Hui Shu as soon as possible—although after knowing the truth, she is no longer worthy to be my enemy, I really dislike those hidden rats, and I want to drag her out now!"

With a wave of his hand, he put Athena's armor back on.

This caused Athena's expression to harden.

He said, "Isn't your swordsmanship amazing?"

"how you said that?"

"With no woman in my heart, my sword will naturally be divine!"

Chu Xiu: "???"

I was just being serious for a moment, and you took it seriously?
