The Gods' Covenant Assembly? No, Cheng Shi's Autocratic Assembly

Today's Birth is a bit too "sensible".

Saying "sensible" might be a bit disrespectful; it would be more accurate to say "pragmatic."

Before the topic of [Folly] even began, He brandished the [Divine Pillar], suppressing His rage, and said in a deep voice:

My voting rights—I can give them to you—

But my Divine Authority— "

Hu Xuan.

At that moment, Cheng Shi almost guessed what [Birth] was thinking, and replied with a smile, "I will not plunder your Divine Authority, nor will I interfere with your Divine Throne, because the Sage is my friend."

She deserves all of this, provided she has it all.

[Birth] is not surprised by Cheng Shi's statement. A drama in which the Cosmos is silently moving towards [Nothingness] is quietly unfolding. Each of them is looking for their own way out, and [Birth] is undoubtedly the most dignified one so far.

He knew that as long as His child could obtain everything on the Eternal Day, that would be enough.

[The Divine Pillar] nodded and silently relinquished its voting rights.

The atmosphere of the [Covenant (Order)] grew increasingly chaotic, yet it could not be stopped.

Everyone thought that as the oldest and most "emotional" of [Life], He might give the vote to the only Twin Gods present who was related to the Old Gods, [Death]. However, He unexpectedly gave the vote to the new Twin Gods, [Prosperity].

The reason is simple: while [Death] is closer to Nothingness than [Prosperity] is closer to the Predestination than [Death].

[Birth] is wise; He knows that the will of [Nothingness] pervades the [Nothingness] age and must be approached. But He also knows that Predestination may be the key to the future.

For [Birth] to continue eternally, it must move closer to the Predestination order while still approaching [Nothingness].

Thus, Cheng Shi obtained his ninth vote.

This vote was crucial, meaning that from now on, it wouldn't matter if the gods of Fear Faction disagreed with his proposal.

The "Predestination Faction" has already taken hostage!

With these nine votes—[Birth], [Prosperity], [Filth and Decay], [Decay], [Order], [Truth], [War], [Chaos], and [Memory] —the Gods' Covenant Assembly no longer be called the Gods' Covenant Assembly; it should be called the Cheng Shi Sovereignty.

The Covenant has lost its original meaning and has become a tool for Fool's Game.

The moment Cheng Shi grasped this tool, he made a suggestion that astonished all the gods:

"[Nothingness]...

Having been absent for so long, hiding and concealing himself at the end of an era, failing to fulfill his exemplary duty, as a practitioner of [Nothingness] and the sole Believer of the two Dominion [Nothingness], I believe that [Nothingness] has an obligation to guide the Cosmos toward its true end.

Therefore, I propose that the [voting rights] of [Nothingness] be revoked and distributed among the gods.

In any issue, the majority vote represents the will of the times. [Nothingness] conforms to the times and should automatically agree, thus earning two additional votes.

If [Nothingness] returns, we will then discuss whether the corresponding voting rights should be returned.

Gentlemen, who agrees and who disagrees?

"..."

"..."

"..."

Nine voted in favor, zero voted against, and the rest abstained.

In fact, whether or not a vote is abstained is meaningless. When the number of votes in favor reaches 9, the proposal is automatically passed and even receives 2 more votes.

The entire Starry Sky fell silent.

Who would have thought that the first thing the Fool's Game power was to take away [Nothingness's ] voice at the Gods' Covenant Assembly!

In this way, even if [Deception] returns from the True Universe, all its subsequent operations in the Cosmos must be approved by Fool's Game; otherwise, it may be unable to carry out any of its plans.

Cheng Shi's ambition to promote his friend to a higher position, which he had painstakingly pursued, was finally revealed to the public at this moment!

He was scared!

He was truly afraid.

He feared that the Despair of False Curtain Call would come again, and that he would still be powerless to fight against everything.

From the moment the False Curtain Call Final Decree the [War] disrupted his Predestination identity, Cheng Shi understood one thing: in this world, only the [Covenant] could save him.

This is also the driving force behind his step-by-step, vote-by-vote victory at the Gods' Covenant Assembly!

If [Deception] returns and finds the answer for the Cosmos, it doesn't matter; Cheng Shi will naturally guide the gods to unanimously approve it, leading to a quick ending.

But if [Deception] were to follow suit with another False Curtain Call and stage a grand deception... sorry, your lies are utterly worthless before the [Covenant].

I could even use my voting power to take everything from you without your consent.

Ironically, [Deception] must vote in favor of it, because it is the will of the times, no, the will of Fool's Game.

"..."

[Death] fell silent. He had long anticipated this day, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly, even faster than He had anticipated.

The face of the enormous skull showed neither anger nor relief; it was difficult to describe His feelings. In short, He no longer experienced the joy and happiness of receiving offerings.

Cheng Shi a sacrificial ceremony to "buy" Him, but also took away the two most important votes from the Fear Faction.

Good news, at least His vote, along with that of [Silence] and [Time], has not been taken away.

The bad news is that their voting power is also useless now.

Having been protected by the Fear Faction throughout the entire game, the Predestination one finally stood "above" the gods at the end of the era, becoming the one who could protect himself.

Yes, he is not even a god, but he can control the Divine Throne and Divine Authority of sixteen True God.

The most terrifying thing is that even though his friends became gods and possessed supreme Divine Authority over the Cosmos, they were still willing to obey the arrangements of a Mortals.

So absurd, so Fool's Game...

At the moment the bill passed, a ridiculous thought even flashed through [Death] mind: if [Deception] could return from the True Universe, would it have a chance to regain control of the Gods' Covenant Assembly?

Perhaps?

But [Death] is not Deception; He himself could not conceive of any possibility.

At this point, Cheng Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Faced with that unseen future, faced with that inexplicable answer, he finally gained the confidence to rule the world.

"Disperse, enjoy your Divine Throne. This is probably the calm before the storm."

I have something to say to [Justice) ], so I won't see you off."

Cheng Shi waved his hand, and the surrounding New God departed in response.

[Silence] After a long silence, it drifted into the endless depths of Nothingness; [Death] Its gaze was complex as it stared at Cheng Shi, and finally, with a long sigh, it transformed into White Bone Flood, sweeping away.

[Birth] has also departed, and He must teach His children how to string together the signs of life to offer the greatest [Origin] under the new Starry Sky.

Cheng Shi and [Justice) ] remained at the scene.

The Starry Sky is fading, which means that Justice) is also leaving the stage, but the tilted scales tremble more and more, as if suppressing some irrepressible force, insisting that they have not left.

He was not as distant from Cheng Shi as he was at the Covenant Council, and it seemed that he also had something to say to Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time. Then, he slowly raised his head, looked at the unbalanced scales before him, and asked:

Why are you helping me?

The brilliance on the Radiant Balance slowly faded, and a sigh of relief escaped my lips.

I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself.

I am about to perish.

After all these years, I have finally found liberation.

If He had not left, I would not have dared to leave either.

Thankfully, it's all coming to an end.

Cheng Shi...

Are you ready to take my place and become the new Proxy of the [Covenant]?

"!!??"

They're asking for tickets even for Christmas!

Looking at the results, Wei Mu should have received the most votes yesterday. The [Folly] Top Rank is still too authoritative, even ranking ahead of the Clown. The current ranking is (Li Jingming - Zhang Jizu - Wei Mu). Today's segment review begins, and the fourth character's side story Candidate.

Thank you for your support!
