[Order]?[Order]!

But before he could see [Justice) ], Cheng Shi had to first meet with [the Iron Rule of Order].

After all, [Justice) ] now represents [the Covenant], and He only responds to Covenant Council concerning the Divine Authority of the gods, and will not cast His gaze upon any Mortals.

Moreover, this Mortals frequently seeks out loopholes and disrupts Order, attempting to challenge the authority of the [Covenant].

Cheng Shi was self-aware; without any Chip, he couldn't get [Justice) ] to make an exception for him, so he had to collect Chip first.

This Chip is the [Iron Rule of Order]!

However, the [Iron Rule of Order] will not easily summon a [Deception] Believer is suspected of being Emissary opposing Faith. He hates [Deception] and detests [Chaos] even more.

Therefore, Cheng Shi's audience with the emperor was undoubtedly a failure.

But he wasn't worried, because the Clown was flexible enough to deal with "rigidity".

Cheng Shi made some preparations, and then, before dawn the next day, he found a second helper: Li Wufang, Believer of [Order] and the Fated.

Cheng Shi told Li Wufang to take one of his Dice to see [The Iron Rule of Order]. As a devout Believer of [Order], especially as the "candidate successor" valued by [Pride) ] before his death, [The Iron Rule of Order] would probably not refuse the Investigator's request to see him.

In this way, Cheng Shi can use this Dice to achieve his goal of meeting the [Iron Rule of Order].

That's only one aspect. Once he's dealt with the [Iron Rule of Order], he'll naturally find a way to meet the [Justice) ] who doesn't want to talk to him.

When Li Wufang first heard about this, he trembled all over.

He hadn't forgotten what happened when he went to see [Order] with Cheng Shi last time. In that [[Chaos] Temple, which [Order] Believer never set foot in, [Order] destroyed itself!

Even though it was just a fragment of [Order], the shock still lingered in his heart for a long time.

For ordinary players, paying homage to a god is already incredibly difficult; who has ever witnessed the self-destruction of a god?

He became even more hesitant after learning about the relationship between Order and [Chaos].

It's called [Order], but in reality, it's [Chaos]. Ever since he learned these secrets, he's felt his devotion to [Order] is utterly confused, and today, Brother Cheng is urging him to go and pay homage to Him...

Will He know that I have already discovered His identity?

What awaits them—forgiveness or punishment?

Most importantly, will He also perish?

Li Wufang was a little scared. Cheng Shi saw his hesitation and comforted him with a smile:

Do you still remember the hopes that [Pride) ] had for you?

If you believe that the Cosmos still needs Order, then confronting the [Chaos] and reclaiming everything that belongs to Order is the thing you should do most.

Don't worry, your the Fated will protect you.

If you can't trust others, can't you trust me?

"..."

Li Wufang didn't dare to speak; he really wanted to say, "You're the one I trust the least."

But in reality, the Investigator trusted the Fate Weaver the most.

He hesitated for a moment, then made a decision, gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and nodded:

"Good.

However, before the audience, I have one more question.

Cheng Shi was taken aback, guessing what the other party wanted to ask, and shook his head with a light laugh:

"Alright, it's time to tell you. Yes, you guessed right."

I am indeed not Mortals.

I am God, and my Divine Name is... Fool's Game!

No one who hears this Divine Name would suspect that Fool's Game is Emissary of any other Faith, because the name is so unique that its literal meaning reveals all its mysteries.

Li Wufang's pupils contracted sharply. He scrutinized Cheng Shi, swallowed hard, and said with slight nervousness:

"So all of this was a [Deception] plan?"

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"

"[Deception] and [Chaos] have trapped my Lord in the Temple and stolen His Divine Throne. Now you ask me to deal with [Chaos], and I can only think that [Deception] is pushing me across the river..."

Besides, Brother Cheng, no, sir, your name... Emissary a miracle if it weren't for Deception order...

Seeing his comrades-in-arms address him as "sir, "Cheng Shi felt something was off.

At this moment, he had no intention of lying anymore, nor did he enjoy being revered as a god, so he smiled and shook his head, saying:

"My identity is complicated, involving many secrets, which I cannot explain to you in a short time."

But rest assured, no matter whose Believer the Fool's Game is, He will always stand on the side of the Fated.

So don't call me "sir," it sounds too formal. Just call me "boss."

"Boss?"

The moment Li Wufang heard this title, he was undoubtedly overjoyed. This title brought him closer to the deity before him, dispelling the estrangement between humans and gods in the tacit understanding between the Fated.

And Cheng Shi is undoubtedly the leader of the Fated!

However, he always felt that the title "boss" sounded a little strange.

"Where we come from, 'boss' is a term used to address elders. Wouldn't that make us more distant...?" Li Wufang scratched his head, embarrassed. "Or I could call you 'boss,' it means the same thing."

"..."

The moment Cheng Shi heard that familiar address, his hand trembled slightly. His surging thoughts instantly pulled him back to the Trials of [Time]. In that Trials where he glimpsed the Universe Truth, Li Wufang from Another World also addressed him in the same way.

That was the first time he realized that there were the Fated outside the world, and it was because of that "boss" that he pulled Li Wufang into the world's the Fated.

Cheng Shi hadn't forgotten; he still knew that world had lost all hope.

So his decision to have Li Wufang call him "boss" wasn't just a casual remark. He didn't want his the Fated "repeat" the "mistakes" of Another World, and he wanted to make some changes to this world, even if they were just minor ones.

But Li Wufang's response told him that some things were Predestination... and couldn't be changed.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly burst out laughing.

"Tsk, Destiny... it's quite interesting."

This laugh stunned Li Wufang. Cheng Shi, seeing Li Wufang's slightly awkward expression, patted him on the shoulder. "Okay, it's settled then."

Since we can't change it, let's just keep going!

When we reach the end of the road, the end of an era, or when there seems to be no way forward, my friends and I always manage to forge another path!

He patted Li Wufang's shoulder hard, his smile gradually fading, his expression turning serious again, and said:

"Pray quickly, I'm still waiting to see [Order]."

Remember, no matter what happens afterward, keep quiet and just focus on protecting yourself.

And if a Divine Throne appears before you... don't hesitate, climb up, whether they acknowledge you or not, your the Fated will support you.

What [Pride) ] didn't give you, perhaps [Chaos] will make up for it out of guilt?

"???"

Li Wufang was stunned; his brain, which had crashed, was completely unable to process what he was hearing.

But he had one advantage: even if he didn't understand, he would just do as instructed. So he nodded stiffly, then suddenly saluted Cheng Shi as if possessed, and smiled brightly, "Understood, boss."

The Investigator then closed his eyes, lowered his head, and silently recited a prayer.

Cheng Shi watched the other party's abstract actions with a fascinating expression, unsure of what to say for a moment. Then, he saw the person in front of him being pulled into the Void by a powerful force of [Order].

Seeing that the plan was going smoothly, Cheng Shi curled the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers lightly.

He disappeared.

The blasphemer had already prepared words of praise for the upcoming audience.

"Long time no see, the great... [Chaos]."
