Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

"That's...unbelievable."

"Nevernight Sky's Yong Chang murmured to herself."

"I thought she was a person without much ambition or scheming."

Lin Yu whispered, "Then clearly, you don't understand your sister very well... Lady Yonglian is one of the most ambitious and intelligent people I've ever met."

Nightless Sky Yongchang had clearly realized that Lin Yu was not lying to him. After a long breath, he said, "Although from an emotional point of view, it is hard for me to imagine that my little sister, who seems to care about nothing but 'alchemy,' would ascend to the position of the Nightless Sky family head in this way... However, if we think about it rationally, many things make sense."

Lin Yu listened to Yong Chang's words with some curiosity and asked directly, "What makes sense?"

Eternal Chang of Nightless City said, "Aren't you curious about why I care so much about who will eventually become the head of the family?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, I just want to know who the 'winner' is... That reason is a bit far-fetched."

“Because I was ‘killed’ back then, no, I can’t say I was killed… at least my soul was brought here to serve my sentence, and I’m still alive and well, so in a sense I’m not dead,” said Yong Chang of Nightless City. “But I’m very sure that the accidental explosion back then, and even the fact that I was brought here, was because a family member framed me.”

“The one who did this must be a member who wants to compete with me for the position of family head,” said Eishoku Buyeten with certainty. “And it is most likely the one who will eventually become the family head—because before the explosion, I also discovered that my research results had been stolen…that research result is absolutely capable of producing outstanding achievements that could support someone to become the family head.”

"I've guessed many of the candidates who participated in the struggle for the family headship back then... but I really didn't expect it to be Eiryo Rei of Nightless City."

Hearing this, Lin Yu roughly understood...

Before Yonglian rose to power in Nightless City, she probably didn't have any advantages at the beginning due to her family background and other reasons, so she spent a long time keeping a low profile.

This Nightless Sky Eternal Garment had clearly only witnessed Nightless Sky Eternal Rein's feigned harmlessness, so she had no idea how terrifying her sister was.

even……

Lin Yu wasn't surprised that it sounded like he had been personally sent into the "Eternal Cage" by Yonglian of Nightless City.

Because this does indeed resemble the style of Eiryo Rei from Nightless City.

Moreover, considering the appearance of Yonglian at Yongshang's funeral, Lin Yu could easily guess...

It's possible that the death of Eternal Breeze of Nightless City is a landmark event marking the end of Eternal Love of Nightless City's concealment and her "official exit" from the scene, and her first masterpiece upon her return!

However, Lin Yu did not voice these speculations, but instead asked, "You mean... you were framed by Yonglian of Nightless City?"

Yongshang from Nightless City nodded, then shook her head: "It's probably not a case of framing, but being reported is more likely... After all, I really did break the 'taboo' here."

"Taboo?"

Lin Yu repeated.

He noticed that the word used by Yongchang of Nightless City was not "sin".

The other party is most likely a "guardian," so the wording used in this regard is likely to be very precise.

and so……

Lin Yu felt that the other party had most likely committed a "taboo".

What taboo did you break?

Lin Yu asked subconsciously.

"The taboo regarding authority... to be more specific, is probably preparing to use a newly formed foreign authority to forcibly attack another authority held by the gods, thereby achieving the effect of 'god-killing'."

"Nevernight Sky Eternal Clothes" said with a smile, her tone as casual as if she were talking about how she had cracked the school cafeteria's meal card.

However, upon hearing this charge, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

No wonder he was imprisoned in the "Eternal Cage"... Although he may have been ambushed by Yonglian of Nightless City and lost the struggle for the position of family head due to carelessness, this guy is definitely not an ordinary person.

The identity of a prisoner in the "Eternal Cage" is indeed more significant than that of a "member of the Nightless Heavenly Family".

"So you were imprisoned here for killing a god?"

Lin Yu said admiringly.

Nightless Sky Eternal Garment gave a thumbs up, seemingly praising herself: "Yes, even in this cage, the things I did were pretty serious!"

Lin Yu said, "The God of Fairness and Judgment is quite bold to dare to appoint someone like you with a criminal record as a 'guardian'."

“I intended to kill other gods when I killed them, not Him, so He probably doesn’t care much about it,” Eternal Night Sky said casually. “Of course, the main reason is probably my good attitude in admitting my guilt—I didn’t know at the time that this method of killing gods violated the taboos of the Ten Realms… My purpose was only to kill gods, not to use my authority to cause any negative impact.”

"If I knew that my method was taboo and would cause a lot of turmoil in the world, I would definitely have used a different method."

As Yongshang of Nevernight City spoke, her expression showed a hint of regret.

Lin Yu continued, "So, which god do you intend to kill? And what authority do you intend to use?"

“I can’t say,” Eternal Night Sky shook her head. “Revealing this is already bordering on breaking the rules… If I were to tell you what god or authority it is, you might be able to deduce the specific method I’ve researched. That would be equivalent to me disseminating this method to you, which would be a crime.”

"Even though I'm just an accomplice... I don't want to lose my position as a guard and go back to Central to serve my sentence!"

"Nevernight Sky Eternal Garment said earnestly."

"If you also have a god you want to kill, you should still take the proper methods, improve yourself step by step, and then challenge the god. That method, compared to 'taking the wrong path'... at least won't violate taboos or cause rejection from the world's will and other gods."

Lin Yu nodded: "Don't worry, I don't have a need to kill a god for the time being."

He didn't press for details.

After all, there are only a few gods in the Wasteland Realm, and you can guess them after a few tries.

Moreover, he could personally inquire about this matter with Yonglian of Nightless City.

So Lin Yu spoke up again: "However, although you don't want to return to Central as a 'prisoner,' it shouldn't be a problem for you to be a 'guardian,' right?"

“I think that since you are a prisoner from ‘Central’, as a ‘guard’, you should have the authority to go to Central, right?”

Lin Yu looked at Yong Chang of Nevernight and asked seriously.

Yongshang from Nevernight nodded: "Of course there are... However, although we had a pleasant chat, I won't take you there for free."

"If you want me to take you to Central, we'll have to start the transaction from scratch."

Lin Yu looked at Yong Chang of Nevernight and readily asked, "Sure, what do you want?"

"Help me bring Eiryou from Nightless City in."

"Nevernight Sky's Yong Chang said solemnly."

Lin Yu sighed: "I can't do it. Do you think I can beat her or anything? You might as well let me kill her... Although I can't do it either, I have no idea how to get her in here. I have absolutely no clue."

Nightless Sky's Yong Chang frowned: "Are you under that much pressure?"

“She is now the head of the Evernight family and the chosen one, wielding your family’s heirloom artifact and having controlled the Evernight family for fifty years. Whether it’s her personal strength or the power she can command, she is a terrifying existence,” Lin Yu said in a low voice. “I don’t want to be her enemy.”

Evernight Eternal thought for a moment: "Then you just mentioned that she already has a top candidate for the next head of the family, Evernight Fire Music, right?"

Yes, that's her daughter.

Lin Yu spoke.

Nightless Sky Yongshang stroked her chin and said, "Then can you kill my niece?"

"That won't work either. Nightless Fire Music is my dearest friend and family; we're like sisters..."

Lin Yu spoke.

"Then name your price," said Yongshang of Nevernight.

“It’s not about the price. I’m a sentimental person, and she’s also an important backer for me in the City That Never Sleeps,” Lin Yu said calmly. “I can’t do this.”

Then, before Yong Chang of Nevernight could make a new abstract request, Lin Yu spoke first.

"How about this? Although I can't help you get revenge... I can give you a chance to take revenge yourself, how about that?"

Nightless City's Yong Chang looked at Lin Yu: "You mean..."

“Yes, it’s my ‘identity document’… It’s not really a necessity for me, it just makes things easier for me. So when I’m about to finish this ‘trial’ and leave this place, I’ll just give it to you,” Lin Yu said calmly. “That way you can get a ‘family visit leave’ to go back to the Wasteland. Then you can personally challenge Yonglian of Nightless City and take revenge for yourself.”

Nightless Sky Eternal Clothes laughed: "Do I look like I want to be her enemy?"

"However, these terms are indeed quite good... I think we can close the deal."

"Even if we can't beat her, it's good to at least go back to the City That Never Sleeps... And if we get another chance to annoy her, that would be even better!"

"Nevernight Sky's Yong Chang said with great interest."

Seeing the other party's enthusiastic expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "However, although she was the last head of the family, she might not necessarily be the one who directly harmed you back then, right?"

"If someone else were to frame you, wouldn't you, as the ultimate winner, be the one who helps you get rid of the person who framed you?"

Nightless Sky Yongchang shook her head: "Although it is theoretically possible, in reality... I ruled out this possibility ten years ago."

"Because ten years ago, I met someone who was passing through this place. He was neither a prisoner nor a seeker of the Way, nor a guard. He held a portion of the power of 'fate,' and was a favored one of fate... Through his insight into fate, he told me that the person who caused me to fall to this state was the 'ultimate winner.'"

Lin Yu blinked in surprise upon hearing this.

Then he said, "Let's not worry about Central for now. We can go there anytime... Tell me more about this 'Chosen One' thing."
