Chapter 131 "His Disappointing Gaze"

The alchemist's perplexing words instantly overloaded everyone's brains, but with Mu Zhixi (Number One) still nearby, no one dared to show any unusual reaction, and they could only stare at each other blankly.

[One minute and thirty-seven seconds remaining until forced teleportation]

Silence fell over the hall, with only the faint light from the central stone pillar reflecting the various expressions on everyone's faces.

After this accidental intrusion into the Heavenly Palace, everyone felt they had uncovered a corner of the "Heavenly Palace" and realized a lesson: don't be stubborn in the face of trouble, or you'll be scared to tears.

"God must treat all people equally, and His gaze should not be swayed by appearance, race, color, or beauty or ugliness..."

Gu Wenzhou repeated the sentence in a low voice. Perhaps because of the urgency, something suddenly became clear in his mind. He silently looked up, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing on the elegant figure standing quietly at the edge of the hall.

Just now, when the referee dragon girl handed that shimmering dragon scale to Miss Ran, what did Miss Ran ask?

"It looks beautiful, what color is it?"

"Light color? Or perhaps platinum..."

If God views all people equally, then isn't color also a variable?

At the time, they were only focused on that mysterious button and did not think deeply about the meaning of the conversation. Now, looking back, a deep sense of fear welled up in their hearts.

Cheng Xiaocheng opened her mouth and looked at Gu Wenzhou, clearly having thought of something as well.

She and Gu Wenzhou had already witnessed Ran Jie's power at Faceless No. 1 High School, and now with the alchemist's guidance, their imaginations naturally became even richer.

"So, Sister Ran, she..."

"She has color blindness," Gu Wenzhou continued, turning to look at her with a complicated expression.

He believed that his strong and capable teammate was not as brainless as she seemed. "Miss Ran told us at the beginning that she was colorblind, have you forgotten?"

Cheng Xiaocheng met his gaze, her expression unchanged, and blinked: "Oh my god, I almost forgot. By the way, is color blindness contagious?"

Cheng Xiaocheng's expression, a mixture of lingering fear and thirst for knowledge, was completely natural—no, it didn't seem like acting at all.

The remaining players didn't think much of what the two said, but instead wondered what their relationship was with Miss Number One.

Judging from these words, these two people of low-star races must have seen Miss Number One before and even had conversations with her.

Moreover, judging from Miss Number One's opening remarks, these two people might actually come from the same faction as Miss Number One, namely the Holy Domain.

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze towards Gu Wenzhou and Cheng Xiaocheng changed, their original indifference now carrying a hint of inquiry and deliberate flattery.

If these two are really connected to Miss Number One, or are even from the Holy Domain, if they can establish a relationship with her, could they also join the legendary Holy Domain?

As for whether there are any new gods or not... it has little to do with these players, and they don't need to worry about it. After all, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and they believe that the higher-ups of the Holy Land will naturally have a solution.

Ji Xinghui felt, deep down, that some force was preventing them from thinking.

However, it seems that the reason why the [Fraud Roulette] is not working has now been found.

When an being doesn't even bother to look at your "outer shell" and directly sees through the "essence" of your soul, any pretense or deception becomes the most ridiculous one-man show.

All their previous guesses were too narrow-minded.

What are the high-ranking officials of the Holy Domain, the young ladies of reclusive races...? These identities are perhaps insignificant compared to His Majesty's true status.

This Miss Number One is at the very least someone closely connected to that "new god," otherwise the alchemist wouldn't have said so much about unrelated things.

Ji Xinghui had a guess in her mind, but subconsciously thought it was too far-fetched.

After all, it's impossible to confirm whether there's a god in the eerie game. What if that alchemist was just playing a trick on them?

Luo Shu hugged his rag doll and murmured to himself, "Divinity is about equality and universal love for all people, but everyone has their own selfish desires, and these seven emotions and six desires will create injustice and killing."

"When divinity completely replaces humanity, when that being utterly abandons the emotions that belong to all living beings, in pursuit of absolute fairness, wouldn't He turn around and kill everyone? After all, only when everyone is dead can the world be absolutely fair."

Hearing these words, everyone knew it wasn't their place to worry about it, but they still couldn't help feeling a mix of emotions.

It's as if they've witnessed an epic unfolding, a myth beyond the reach of mortals, yet they have no right to interfere with even the smallest details.

Mu Zhixi was unaware that in just a few short minutes, her image had skyrocketed in the minds of players and viewers.

Ji Xinghui took a deep breath, stepped forward, wanting to say something, but found that any words seemed powerless at this moment.

Should we directly question her? Or should we express gratitude for her protection? That seems like trying to understand the actions of a deity using the logic of mortals.

She may have sheltered them out of her kind nature, but if they were to praise her extensively for it, it would seem too deliberate and like they were judging a gentleman by their own petty standards.

As for expressing their concerns, or saying they want to join the Sanctuary, that would be even more presumptuous.

For an ancient power like the Holy Domain with its profound history, Miss Number One is at least a top-tier figure. Being able to share a dungeon with her is already an immense honor for them.

In the end, after much deliberation, Ji Xinghui simply bowed slightly.

Seeing this, others followed suit, silently expressing their indescribable respect.

Looking at that aloof figure, Cheng Xiaocheng suddenly felt a little sad. To be honest, she still preferred the beautiful woman who would acquiesce to her calling her "sister" and who would clean up the cafeteria food.

However, it seems that the princess is no pushover either.

He might just be a possessive, yandere pervert, a complete lecher who's after Ran's body!

Mu Zhixi was a little confused when she saw the group of players suddenly bowing deeply to her.

What's going on now? Is it some kind of special ritual for clearing a dungeon?

Before she could figure it out, the cold system notification sounded.

[Teleportation countdown begins... ten, nine, eight...]

A light shone from beneath everyone's feet, and a gentle teleportation array enveloped each person.

In the last moment before their consciousness was withdrawn, all the players subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the figure that had always stood still.

At that very moment, Mu Zhixi turned her "gaze" toward them.

She was actually just estimating how much faith points she could gain this time, but in the players' perception, that gaze covered in white feathers seemed to penetrate their bodies, professions, and identities, reaching the deepest part of their souls.

In that instant, they felt as if everything about them had been seen through, not in the oppressive sense of being scrutinized, but in a kind of... clarity and understanding of being "seen".

In Mu Zhixi's mind, the notification sound of the "His Falling Gaze" skill being triggered also rang out.

[Note: This effect instills extreme psychological intimidation in the target. If applied to a player, it can interfere with their dungeon settlement decisions and add special effects.]

Why trigger this now? Haven't the players already completed the game?

Mu Zhixi was a little puzzled, but didn't pay too much attention to it. Anyway, this skill didn't consume any resources and didn't require faith points, so it was fine once it was triggered.
