Save him!

That's right, Qin Xin didn't shatter the Outer God's conspiracy, but rather the [Iron Rule of Order]'s shackles on Cheng Shi!

He knew, of course, that the gods and humans present should unite to address the most pressing problem at hand, but he also knew that the judgment of the [Iron Rule of Order] would push the "answer to the world" away from this world!

The Fate Weaver may seem to compromise in every way, but those who know him know that he is never a spineless person. Like a true Fire Keeper, he has always resisted all the oppression imposed upon him.

At this most critical moment, Qin Xin cannot allow the "Order" of the [Iron Rule of Order] to become Foolish Deed that destroys all hope for the world.

Therefore, his arrow was extremely decisive.

The flames erupted violently, swelling without wind, and instantly engulfed Cheng Shi was on the Judgment Chair.

Upon seeing this, the pages of [Iron Rule of Order] froze, and it glared angrily at Qin Xin, its voice sharp and stern:

[War] Proxy!

You invited me here, claiming you would protect the Order of the Cosmos with your life!

I persuaded [Justice) ] to the Gods' Covenant Assembly to break the Outer God' lock on the Void, yet you've turned your attention to me!?

Your enemy is the Outer God, not me. Why would you attack your only ally?

"Hasn't the decline of your Civilization awakened you yet?!"

Qin Xin shook his head and drew his bow again:

I know who my enemies are, but I don't know who my allies are!

You never told me you weren't [Order]!

[Chaos]?

What a [Chaos]!

Given this [Chaos], how can I be sure of your answer to how you will deal with the world, and how can I believe you are truly acting in the name of Cosmos Order?

I do not know where the true [Order] has gone, but from this moment on, I, Qin Xin, the Emissary of [War], the Subgod of [Civilization], am willing to replace [Order] and temporarily become the new Order!

This is the biggest provocation against [Order]! Don't forget, there's more than one [Order] here!

Even [Orderly Fear) ] huddled in a corner, watching the Judgment Chair engulfed in flames, projecting its own image onto it, and becoming even more terrified.

[Justice) ] remains silent, just as the Outer God said, when He condones the actions of [the Iron Rule of Order] and fails to prevent them from affecting the assembly, His Justice has already been biased.

He chose to side with this world.

Upon hearing these words, the [Iron Rule of Order] were clearly enraged, flipping through the pages of the Law Codex book wildly, and the power of [Order] overflowed.

"Nonsense! How can you believe the words of Outer God?"

I am [Order], the only [Order] in the Cosmos!

I represent [Origin]'s greatest aspirations for this Starry Sky; I am the anchor of Civilization, the orderly convergence of all things!

Everything I have done is worthy of my Divine Name. It is an undeniable fact that the Clown wreaks havoc on the Cosmos. He should be judged no matter what, and then make amends for his sins with his own Predestination!

This is his path, and this is the Order of the Cosmos!

"Fart!"

Before Qin Xin could react, Hong Lin couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing at [Iron Rule of Order].

No, not just the [Iron Rule of Order], in what appears to be the final the Gods' Covenant Assembly, the Big Cat that had been pretending to sleep finally turned into a "tiger with its eyes open," unleashing a torrent of abuse upon the gods present.

"So obsessive it's maddening, so rigid it's disgusting!"

It is because you gods only care about your own Faith and your own will, never bow your heads, and always disregard life, that you are completely fooled by the Outer God!

The Fate Weaver was clearly an extremely grateful person. His father adopted him, and he remembered the father's kindness for a lifetime. [Deception] protected him, and even though he was unsure of the source of [Deception's ] goodwill and felt a fear of the Fear Faction, he was still willing to follow [Deception]!

If such blatant kindness can 'deceive' a Fate Weaver, why don't you 'deceive' them too?

Is it because you can't lie?

No!

It's because you have no good intentions at all!

I've seen through it all. Gods are just gods. You have no emotions. You only care about Faith. You only have willpower!

But we are different; humanity's Faith lies in emotions and friendship!

Since we're all going to die anyway, ha! Let go of my friend, let me go first!

Before the words were even finished, a figure as swift as the wind roared and charged into the raging flames where the power of [War] and [Order] intertwined!

In the blink of an eye, the charred Big Cat carried the blackened Cheng Shi out of the flames. Her resolute face was filled with the will to survive for her friend, and the fear of facing the gaze of the gods was gone.

However, Predestination saving the cat was not so easy. Seeing this, the Outer God [Destiny] snorted and Nothingness Storm of nothingness rose up and swept towards the Big Cat.

He knew that Cheng Shi was not injured. He thought that his Believer was too scheming and was now pretending to fall down. He wondered what kind of trick he was up to.

But whatever he wants to do, Predestination is Predestination; he can't escape it or erase it.

"Before the Space-Time Storm arrives, I don't object to watching one last Clown circus, just as the Finale Performance this world. No matter how much you resist, struggle, or rebel, in the end you will know that only I am right."

Only I can save this world.

Unfortunately, before the real answer is revealed, there are always a few self-righteous individuals who are neither worthy nor able to persevere until that moment.

I can save few gods, and none of you here."

[Destiny]'s tone grew increasingly cold. He looked at Cheng Shi again and said softly:

"You have one last chance. Even if not for the sake of this world, but for the sake of your so-called friends, I forgive your blasphemy, pity your confusion, and give you a chance to return to the right path of [Destiny]. Do not remain stubbornly deluded..."

Cheng Shi, lying on the Big Cat's back, didn't move at Cheng Shi, but simply extended a middle finger towards those merciless eyes.

"**!"

Then, he burst into laughter, patted the Big Cat, and said:

"Hong Lin, this time we might really be going to die."

The Big Cat's gaze sharpened, a hint of sadness flashing in its eyes before being instantly replaced by determination:

"If there is no way to avoid it, if there is no way forward, then let me die first, and use my body as a stepping stone so that you may still find the way to the other side..."

If there really is such a path, if there's still a chance to survive, I'll take Xiao Yi with me!

Cheng Shi's hand, which was about to strike the Big Cat, tightened suddenly. He was about to say something when the Big Cat said in a low voice:

"Cheng Shi, this is my last wish in life. Don't let me leave you with regrets."

"..."

Just as Despair and sorrow filled the air, the flames of [War] once again roared across the Starry Sky.

Qin Xin mustered his Divine Power and unleashed the full Divine Authority [War] within his body, once again demonstrating to the world his Unyielding will to [War].

Crimson Flame flew everywhere, melting the sky and scorching the earth.

He stood amidst the flames, drawing his Giant Bow, and raised his head to shout:

It's far too early to make arrangements for what's to come!

Even Outer God are still gods. As long as they are gods, there will always be a time for them to fall. Haven't we seen enough of that?

Cheer up! Submission is not resistance; war is!

And you, [Birth], [Decay], [Order], [Memory]... and those who sit idly by and Emissary their Subgod, do you think you can escape the end of an era by simply standing by and watching?

Foolish!

Do those deities who still believe in the power of Outer God to save the world truly believe that their methods can save it?

He has already failed once, so what makes you so sure he will succeed the second time!?

He dragged the world into a dark Abyss, instead of leading it toward a bright future.

The road to the future is one we fight for ourselves; even I, a Mortals, understand this, so you...

Puff--"

Before Qin Xin could finish his impassioned speech, he was swept away by a chilling, Nothingness Bitter Wind.

Under the protection of the [War] Divine Authority, the blood he spat out made the flames around him burn even more fiercely. After rolling to the ground, he did not hesitate to draw his bow again.

This successor to the [War] was indeed Unyielding; every move he made seemed to be a desperate fight against Destiny. He was putting his will into practice, but it seemed that only he himself recognized this will.

Even with his appeal, the surrounding deities remained unmoved.

They seemed to have been misled by the Outer God, each hesitant and uncertain, their gazes towards Qin Xin and Cheng Shi filled with complex emotions.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Cheng Shi finally sat up straight. Knowing that pretending was useless, he simply let loose and pointed at the myriad gods in the sky, saying:

Everyone tells me that becoming a god is the only answer.

But now you're telling me that gods... are just these kinds of things?

Then what's the point of me becoming a god? What's the point of needing this answer!?

This Predestination; whoever wants to be in it can be, but I'm never doing it again!

As he spoke, Cheng Shi suddenly took out the [Deception] Vessel in his hand, raised it high, and shouted at the Radiant Balance in the sky:

"I, the practitioner of [Nothingness], the Emissary of [Deception], Fool's Game request to Divine Authority the Fallen God [Deception] under the witness of [Justice) ]!"

His voice was frantic, and all the gods were terrified.

[Destiny]'s gaze grew colder, and [Justice) ] remained silent. The identity of the Fool's Game was not given by the [Deception] of the current world, so naturally, it could not obtain a response from [Justice) ].

In the face of the invasion of the Outer God, He might have been inclined to show favoritism for the sake of Order, but rules are rules, and He cannot and should not break them.

The situation then reached a stalemate.

Just as everyone present was drawn in by Cheng Shi's high-pitched breathing, a terrifying torrent of Divine Power suddenly descended, and countless white bones fell like rain.

The usually chattering Little Skull fell silent, scattering and piling up before the gods to form a deathly white Bone Throne, welcoming the great one named [Death].

The enormous skull arrived, and His first words upon His arrival were a questioning of the Outer God [Destiny].

"Can you guarantee that you will be free from worry in this life?"
