A Slap in the Face

Li Jingming wasn't lying; the [Memory] Memory Archive did indeed record the scene where [Chaos] replaced [Order].

When Cheng Shi looked at the Dragon King and realized that the Dragon King's expression didn't seem fake, he was completely stunned.

This was completely unexpected "evidence".

No one could have imagined that [Memory] had known everything all along, yet He had never mentioned it to the gods. Didn't that mean He already knew that [Chaos] had been replaced by [Deception]?

Watching helplessly as your adversary holds two votes, Deception the Cosmos, obfuscating [Existence] and Memory, and yet you remain indifferent and even help cover it up?

Even the [Iron Rule of Order] and the invisible [Death] above everyone's heads were momentarily stunned.

So, [Memory] is the "traitor" within [Existence]?

But why did He do this?

All the gods and men present couldn't understand it. The [Iron Rule of Order] simply didn't believe any of this. If [Memory] had really supported [Deception] all along, then He wouldn't have opposed or abstained from voting at the Covenant Council.

The supreme Law Codex erupted with a dazzling Order Holy Light, and roared:

"To bear false witness for blasphemers shall be Thunder Punishment!"

Li Jingming remained calm and bowed respectfully, saying, "I am willing to go with the True God to obtain the evidence. I believe my Lord will open the door wide for me."

Seeing the [Memory] Believer' attitude, [Iron Rule of Order] became hesitant.

These Mortals spoke with absolute certainty and conviction, firmly believing that their identities were questionable. But how could the True God not know who he is?

[Iron Rule of Order]'s only doubts about his identity stemmed from the appearance of those three gods, and now he has to add [Memory] to the list...

What exactly are they trying to do?

Must we really let this Cosmic Order perish?

The turning of the pages of the Holy Light Law Codex gradually stopped. Seeing this, Cheng Shi sneered and added fuel to the fire, "What, scared?"

The power of [order] surrounding [Iron Rule of Order Order] suddenly erupted, and every page of the Law Codex was dyed golden by supreme Order. In the midst of constant self-doubt and struggle with its identity, it seemed to have figured something out, and its aura became more and more solid, and its momentum gradually increased.

He looked down upon the crowd, then gazed at the [Death] beyond the Void, and hummed in the most resolute [Order] voice:

"Since my birth, I have Cosmos Justice and maintained order in the world; through countless years, this principle has remained unchanged!"

This is the hope of the [Origin], and also the Order of the present world.

And I am [Order]!

No matter what schemes or tricks you try to use to frame me, [Order] is [Order], and it will never change.

I am at odds with [Chaos], and I am on very high alert, so I will not allow it to impersonate me.

Since [Memory] has arbitrarily altered Memory, then I will examine the evidence and nail [Memory] to the Cosmic Order as well!

After speaking, the Holy Light Law Codex vanished.

Seeing the [Iron Rule of Order] so resolute, everyone present's pupils contracted sharply. Cheng Shi immediately looked at the Dragon King. This plan didn't include any role for [Memory]. Now that this unexpected turn of events had occurred, how could they possibly reconcile the situation?

Li Jingming remained calm and composed. He waved his hand to reassure the two people in front of him, and then the azure power of [Memory] in his hand rippled out, opening a door made of Memory Lightstream in front of them.

Cheng Shi was taken aback; he had never seen this door before. He asked in astonishment, "What is this?"

Li Jingming chuckled:

A shortcut to the [Memory] Memory Archive.

Don't panic, I'm telling the truth. The Memory Archive does indeed have records of evidence that "[Chaos]" is "Order."

Cheng Shi still couldn't believe it. In his understanding, [Memory]'s lack of opposition was already a form of support; how could it possibly be genuinely helping [Deception] conceal the truth?

Doesn't He hate it most when the God of Merriment invades His Memory Archive and vandalizes His treasures?

Cheng Shi felt something was off, and frowned as he asked, "[Memory] already knew everything?"

The Dragon King shook his head. "No, He just found out."

"???"

Before Cheng Shi could ask any more questions, Li Jingming stepped through the azure door.

Cheng Shi looked puzzled, feeling that something was off, but out of trust in the Dragon King, he followed him into the room. Li Wufang followed nervously after the two of them left.

A dense power of [Memory] instantly enveloped him. He felt a darkness before his eyes, followed by a flash, and he found himself in a Pure White Memory Archive.

Countless artifacts hung on the Pure White wall, each one blurry and indistinct. Only the artifact on the wall in front of the three was exceptionally clear, and its contents were a Book of the Constitution radiating a twisted power, frantically pouring out a murky yellow force.

Although one cannot sense the exact nature of that power from outside the artifacts, its color alone is enough to tell that it is definitely not the dazzling power of [Order]!

Instead, it resembles a murky, viscous [Chaos] power!

How could a force resembling [Chaos] appear within the constitution of the Grand Inquisition, the manifestation of [Order] in the Mortal World Iron Rule of Order?

He just said that He has never given [Chaos] any opportunity to take hold!

Now, everything recorded in this [Memory] collection has undoubtedly slapped the [Iron Rule of Order] in the face!

He could no longer deny that he had been "contaminated" by [Chaos], but that wasn't the most crucial point. The most crucial point was that He seemed to have forgotten this Memory!

What does this mean!?

This suggests that either He was fully aware that He had been affected by [Chaos] and was no longer in Order, but deliberately concealed this Memory for the sake of the stability and dignity of Order; or He had already been replaced by [Chaos], becoming chaotic without realizing it!

Either way, it's enough for Cheng Shi "sentenced" by the "Iron Rule of Order"!

The situation was excellent; even Cheng Shi hadn't expected that there was actually evidence in the [Memory] Memory Archive that [Order] had been replaced by [Chaos].

How can you deny that?

The collection of [Memory] is not something Mortals can claim. If [Iron Rule of Order] still wants to deny it, all they can do is insist that it was all fabricated by [Deception], that [Deception] deliberately set a trap to frame them!

But if one has proven oneself to this extent, is there still any point?

For true Order, it certainly exists; but for [Chaos], it has long since lost its meaning!

Not bad, [Chaos]!

When the Holy Light Law Codex descended upon the Memory Archive before everyone else, upon witnessing this Memory, the will of the First God of Chaos beneath the [Iron Rule of Order] was finally awakened!

He remembered the past when He conspired with [Deception], the entire process of replacing [Order], the promises [Deception] had made to Him, and the true [Order] shattered in the sea of Sea of Desire.

Although this Memory in the Memory Archive is very different from His actual past experiences, His Will was still awakened, and He remembered who He was!

I am [Chaos], the prelude to [Chaos], the Collection of Disorder!

My replacement of [Order] is to make [Order] the biggest joke in the Cosmos, and to shroud all order in this world under chaos!

[Deception] Tell me, this is the closest way to [*He]!

But now, His Believer have exposed my identity, and [*He] has not shown himself to look down upon me.

So where exactly did we go wrong!?

In that instant, the sky above the Memory Archive suddenly changed color, and the violent power of [Order] vanished with a roar, as if Civilization had collapsed in an instant. In its place, countless yellow mists from the Chaos frantically gathered here. Before long, the rolling yellow mists transformed into a gigantic and terrifying hand, which tightly "grasped" the entire [Memory] Hall!

The Pure White Memory Archive remained unscathed under the immense pressure, though it creaked and groaned.

But even the loudest noise couldn't surpass the Disorderly Noise erupting from the churning, Chaos Yellow Mist that caused all life in the Cosmos to wail in agony.

The sound of [Chaos] echoed through the sky, and the angry roars of resentment shook the surrounding land.

"[Deception] You've deceived me!"

It's all a lie!

[Origin], I've done it! Where are you?!

"!!!"

"???"
