The new [Chaos]
The farce begins with Mortals confronting the True God and ends with the True God's self-destruction and collapse.
This absurd scene, if it had occurred at the Dawn of the Era, would likely have shocked the Cosmos for an entire generation.
But now, the gods seem to have become accustomed to the self-destruction of their own deities. With the [Covenant] Proxy or New God succeeding to the throne, the Cosmos... will not fall.
However, the gods remain extremely sensitive to the fact that "Order" is "[Chaos]." They are not concerned with the identity of the "Iron Rule of Order," but rather with whose help "[Chaos]" has become the "Iron Rule of Order"!
The answer to this question is also obvious.
No other god but Him, who loves to Deception the Cosmos, could do such a thing.
But right now, the instigator hasn't shown up at all, instead pushing a Mortals to "take the blame." The gods look at the Clown in the Void with different expressions.
[Justice) ] has never left. The identity of [Order] has such a big problem. As a fragment of [Order], it needs to give an explanation to the gods. However, not all gods need to give an explanation.
[Silence] He left in silence. No one knew what the god who had just tried to silence the [Covenant] was thinking. Cheng Shi only hoped that the other party was not thinking of assimilating him.
The boss also left. [Death]
A terrifying White Bone Flood swept past, tearing a hole in the Void. Cheng Shi smiled broadly and waved repeatedly in the direction his boss had left, but the giant skull simply ignored him, out of sight, out of mind.
Of the remaining gods...
Ironically, there are actually very few gods left.
Aside from those who have already perished, those who have left the scene, and those who are no longer present or whose [Existence] Nothingness found, only those who can now watch the "fun" in the Void are [Birth], [Decay], and [Folly].
[Birth] is about participation; as long as the great cause of Birth is not affected, He will never care about anything other than His child.
[Decay] is on its last breath, and it looks like that breath won't last much longer.
As for [Folly]...
He remained the same; the first thing He did after [Death] departed was to look at the Radiant Balance and sneer:
Do you think there's an explanation for your Foolish Deed?
[Justice) ] After a moment of silence, a buzzing sound rang out:
"Compared to letting the Cosmos lose its Order, a false Order might allow the world to transition smoothly before a new Order arrives..."
This statement essentially indicates that [Justice) ] already knew the identity of [Chaos], but simply chose not to expose it.
He was right. Whether it is the Isle of Hope or this [Faith Game], [Order] is still the Faith of countless law-abiding citizens, the embodiment of their will.
Once Faith collapses and Order ceases to exist, chaos in this world may come sooner.
From this perspective, the choice of [Justice) ] is not wrong, but it is not really His choice, but rather a choice He was forced to accept.
This Deception maneuver not only fooled the [Chaos] but also cornered the Order, leaving them with no choice but to acknowledge that Order still exists.
[Justice) ] has been incorporated into the [Covenant], and [Orderly Fear) ] has been confined by the [Faith Game]. We didn't realize it before, but looking back now, we realize that [Deception] was already foreseen in the Dawn of the Era!
His scheme spanned the entire [Nothingness] era, only to be exposed today by another fraudster.
The result of the explosion was that the [Order] Divine Throne became vacant, while the [Chaos] Divine Throne changed hands.
Those eyes, shrouded in Chaos White Miasma, glanced at the new [Chaos], offering no comment, then swept over the confident Cheng Shi, and sneered again:
Do you think there's an explanation for your Foolish Deed?
Cheng Shi silent, only moving his mouth:
Do you think your problem is Foolish Deed?
"..."
As expected, to cure [Folly], you still need to rely on the more aggressive Mouth Brother.
[Folly] did not respond, but turned to [Justice) ] and mocked its misfortune:
"Caught in the middle of the game, he was used as a tool to be sent out of the [Chaos] Divine Throne, and it is believed that he will soon be sent out of the [Order] Divine Throne himself."
I think that the god closest to Deception in this Cosmos is probably you.
[Justice) ]!
The Radiant Balance did not deny it; on the contrary, to the surprise of all the gods present, it replied in a low, humming voice:
"In some respects, I do share His position."
But the [Covenant] will not show favoritism, and the [Order] has always been Justice.
"Ha, Foolish Deed."
[Folly] left so quickly, as if the ignorance present was about to infect Him.
However, after what just happened, Cheng Shi had a clear idea of what was going on: none of the gods present, including [Justice) ], had any Memory of that False Finale!
This means that the script for the Change written by God of Merriment is now known to only a few people.
The screenwriter himself is one, the Clown is another, and the rest... are probably all outside this Starry Sky.
[Birth] then departed, and [Decay] also wished to retreat into seclusion, but just before [Decay] was about to leave, Cheng Shi suddenly called out to Him and asked fervently:
"Great [Decay], when will you...?"
"Will I die?"
"???"
Cheng Shi was stunned. Although that was exactly what he meant, Mouth Brother!!!
I didn't want to die before [Decay]!
The Decay aura that hadn't yet moved froze, and the cracked skeleton stared stiffly at Cheng Shi.
Even though Cheng Shi knew the Fear Faction wouldn't let him die here, he still tensed up at this moment. Fortunately, the Clown quickly changed his tune and said:
"You once protected me, and I want to... see you off on your journey, and also to witness with my own eyes the piety of the last remaining [Decay] will in the Cosmos."
May your wishes be fulfilled, may you finally receive mercy.
[The Decay] are not stupid, or rather, the gods are not stupid.
Even if [Nothingness] once hid the Predestination very well, given the current situation, who doesn't understand that the Predestination is the answer to the times that [Nothingness] advocates?
When Justice) begins to yield to them, they should wake up and realize that only by approaching Nothingness, like [Death], [Silence], or [Existence], can they reap the greatest rewards in this era.
But they simply did not want to conform to [Nothingness]. Their will never changed, and their devout Faith kept them consistently on the path of their own will.
This kind of "rebellion" is just like [Deception].
[Decay] Perhaps there is no answer to the question of one's own Decay, but that's okay, we can just start over in the next era.
He firmly believed that the [Origin] would eventually have mercy on Him, even if it took countless ages; He could wait, and He would continue to Decay.
The cracked skeletal giant nodded to Cheng Shi, perhaps its last expression before heading towards "Annihilation".
He neither agreed nor refused, but simply uttered a weak sentence:
"I understand."
Then he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Watching [Decay]'s departing figure, Cheng Shi felt a mix of emotions, as if it were not the desolation of a god, but the end of an entire era of gods.
The New God has begun his ascension to the throne, which means a new "Order" is on the horizon.
Cheng Shi and Zhen Xin exchanged a glance, then simultaneously smiled and uttered a "devout prayer" towards the still-standing, Radiant Balance:
"Great Justice), the Cosmos cannot lose Order."
In order for the world to remain under the protection of the [Order]'s radiance, I recommend this devout Believer in the [Order] to succeed him and carry forward the Order's will.
I believe that under his leadership, the world will take on a new look.
The Radiant Balance, shimmering with light, swept its gaze over the three people and one god present. After a long silence, it hummed and said:
"Rules cannot be broken; there is no such precedent in the [Covenant]."
He has no right to succeed to the Divine Throne; Mortals, your recommendation is meaningless.
Cheng Shi's rejection of [Justice) ] was not unexpected, after all, they did not yet possess the Token that could inherit the [Order] Divine Throne: the [Order] Vessel.
But coincidentally, he knew where to get it.
Cheng Shi smiled slightly, bowed, and said:
"Alright, then I'll come back and discuss the significance of the recommendation with you after I find the Token of [Order]."
But right now, I still have one more thing... Hey, hey, don't go!
Yes, the Radiant Balance have left, leaving so decisively, just as Cheng Shi thought. Perhaps He simply didn't want to be with a Clown who disrupts [Order].
Seeing this, Cheng Shi had no choice but to hope that he would meet the other party again the next time he reached for that [Order] Divine Throne.
He looked at his companions, his gaze sweeping over the three of them, and after a moment's thought, he said:
"Zhen Xin and I are going somewhere first, and we'll contact you later."
Dragon King, you'd better explain to me what exactly Change in the Memory Archive.
Li Jingming smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Come find me at the Memory Archive anytime."
At any time?
What, the [Memory] Memory Archive has become yours?
Cheng Shi's expression was strange, as if he had thought of something. Zhen Xin also gave the Dragon King a meaningful glance, then snapped her fingers and disappeared into the Starry Sky with Cheng Shi.
After ascending to the throne, He should go and visit His own Temple.
