Call the witness, Li Jingming
Cheng Shi's reason for provoking the [Iron Rule of Order] in this way is not only because he covets the Divine Throne of [Order], but also because he covets the Divine Throne of [Chaos].
Don't forget, the current [Chaos] is orchestrated by God of Merriment. Cheng Shi can't find him, so he has to resort to this method to "force" him to meet!
[Deception] vanished, and [Chaos] vanished as well, leaving only the Temple and the Divine Throne that belonged to [Chaos].
In Cheng Shi's plan, using the reaction of the [Iron Rule of Order] to scheme for these two Divine Throne was a sure-fire way to make money.
If [Chaos] were to acknowledge its true identity, it would surely return to its Divine Throne upon regaining its senses. In that case, the God of Merriment might appear at the Covenant Council just as [Chaos] is about to lose its Divine Throne.
This is one of Cheng Shi's methods of "indirectly requesting an audience with the emperor."
Furthermore, with the return of [Chaos] to its rightful place, the Divine Throne of [Order] naturally became vacant, giving him a new goal.
But if [Chaos] refuses to acknowledge its identity, all the better. Cheng Shi will Cheng Shi seize the opportunity to reveal the truth, making the so-called "Order" ashamed and forced to step down. At that time, not only will the Divine Throne of [Order] be vacant, but the Divine Throne of [Chaos] will also be vacant!
As luck would have it, Cheng Shi was still Proxy as the [Chaos] Emissary and held the [Chaos] Vessel. If handled properly, he could easily elevate Ultraman to that Divine Throne.
As for who is actually behind Ultraman's skin?
Who cares who I am [Chaos]? Chaos is chaos, and anyone could be [Chaos]!
This was Cheng Shi's entire plan, a perfect open conspiracy that combined requesting an audience, forcing the emperor to abdicate, plotting for power, and usurping the throne.
At this point, everything was unfolding smoothly as he had predicted; now all that remained was to prove that the [Iron Rule of Order] were [Chaos].
However, the Cheng Shi did not rush to provide proof, but instead gave the [Iron Rule of Order] a new option.
"For the sake of the fact that [Justice) ] has once favored the world, I need to remind you:"
Once your [Chaos] identity is publicly revealed, the [Order] Believer will be driven to Despair, and the [Order] will may cease to exist.
Although Mortals are weak, Faith is strong, and I can't say what kind of chaos will follow.
If you truly believe that Cosmic Order still needs to be maintained, we can handle this matter more discreetly, keeping the outcome known only to you and me, and then resolve it yourselves...
But if you insist on claiming the identity of 'Order' and insist on clarifying it in public, even to the point of making it known to the Cosmos, then no matter how much you deny it, you will not be able to escape being guilty.
Which path leads to true Order... I think you know better than I do.
All that I'm saying isn't due to the seduction of [Deception], but rather it's my last act of goodwill towards the [Order] that once championed the Cosmic Order. Rest assured, I will prove your identity to you.
However, who the witness is depends on you.
If you agree, we can begin now.
The Holy Light Law Codex remained silent.
It's unbelievable, but a god was actually driven to a "desperate situation" by a Mortals.
He did not believe He was [Chaos], but He could not ignore Cheng Shi's confident demeanor. He sensed an air of conspiracy emanating from Cheng Shi, but this conspiracy clearly did not stem from [Deception].
Because Cheng Shi's methods are too crude right now, so crude that only a Mortals without Divine Authority would dare to challenge the [Order] Divine Throne in such a blatant way.
If it were truly [Deception] behind the scenes, there would be no need for this. His lies would be enough to deceive the Cosmos. Perhaps only when he realizes that his Divine Throne is lost will he discover that [Deception] has already taken up that radiant Divine Throne of [Order], looking down at him with mockery.
But this is still not the reason for His silence.
Don't forget, in that False Curtain Call, the [Iron Rule of Order] was the only Outer God who dared to stand up and reject the Outer God head-on!
Even if in His eyes Cheng Shi is as sinful as the Outer God, His determination to practice the will of [Order] is beyond doubt, and His courage is witnessed by all the gods.
Therefore, He would not be in such a predicament simply because a Mortals questioned His identity.
The reason He truly fell silent was the three pairs of eyes that opened outside the Void after Cheng Shi said, "The great 'Order' doesn't even dare to give sinners a chance to defend themselves!"
Green flames roared in the eye sockets of the enormous skull, and rows of Puppet stood before the Leaky World Silent Puppet... There was also a pair of eyes that saw through the past and the future, locking away all time, turning into a black hole, seemingly appearing and disappearing as it merged with the darkness of the Void.
This time, Cheng Shi is no longer backed by [Deception], but by the three deities who form the backbone of the Fear Faction!
No audience is ever wasted. After confirming that Predestination the key to this world, the Fear Faction proved to the [Iron Rule of Order] through their actions that some identities seem to be beyond your control, whether you acknowledge them or not.
Therefore, the [Iron Rule of Order] fell silent.
He was already confused about the future of Order, and if only [Death] and [Silence] appeared at this moment, He would not have any other thoughts.
But [Time]...
Even though the [Iron Rule of Order] knew that [Time] and [Nothingness] were cooperating, and even voted in favor of [Nothingness]'s issues, it never felt that [Deception] had misled [Time]. Instead, it always believed that [Time] had seen through something, which was why it cooperated with [Nothingness].
[Existence] is the closest and most devout Path of Fate [*He], if even [Time] feels that [Order] is no longer there...
Could it be that I am truly not [Order]?
No!
I don't believe it!
The [Iron Rule of Order] struggled with itself, and the violent aura of [Order] raged through the Void. Fortunately, the cage "protected" them, and the two Mortals were not injured.
However, Cheng Shi, who could not see the figures of the three True God outside the Void Cheng Shi did not know what had happened. He just thought that [Chaos] might be about to reveal its true form under the pressure of its identity being exposed.
He raised an eyebrow, took two steady steps back, and clicked his tongue in amazement:
"After all this scheming, could it really end up being a simple story?"
Did the [Chaos] that played the role of "Order" self-destruct and apologize amidst its agonizing struggle and confusion over its own chaotic self-perception?
This is indeed an answer that balances both [Order] and [Chaos].
But this leaves two positions Wufang. Which do you think is better, the [Order] Divine Throne or the [Chaos] Divine Throne?
Li Wufang was taken aback, then blinked and said, "Is it possible to choose like this? Then I'd definitely choose [Order]..."
"..." Cheng Shi glanced at him disdainfully, annoyed by his lack of ambition, and said, "Why don't you want them all? Is your butt not big enough to sit on them all?"
"???"
The two "sinners" in the cage were still whispering amongst themselves, while the [Iron Rule of Order] in the Void had already struggled to reach a conclusion.
The Holy Light Law Codex restored tranquility, and with a ray of holy light, it broke open the cage, issuing its final, Divine Resonance of Order to the two suspects:
"Show your evidence right here, or you will face endless Thunder Punishment!"
Indeed, although He is in [Chaos], He still cares about Order. He does not want the Cosmos to fall into another chaos, so He chose to proceed discreetly.
Cheng Shi smiled slightly:
"As you wish, great [Chaos]."
Next, please summon my witness, [Memory] Believer Li Jingming.
