Executor of the [Covenant]

"I..."

Although he had figured everything out, Cheng Shi was still confused.

He had always believed that Justice) was an object to be fought against; the rigid [Covenant] restricted the Fear Faction's dreams of a Divine Throne. He tried every means to circumvent the rules and exploit loopholes, but unexpectedly, at this moment, he found himself standing on the same side as them...

But why would Justice) be feared?

All the history concerning [Order] tells Cheng Shi that [Order] is a staunch supporter, but [Justice) ] also says that halfway through the era, He discovered the meaning of [Deception] deceiving the gods into signing the [Covenant].

This suggests that long before the [Faith Game] came into reality, when the era had only reached the Civilization Era, [Order] was already gripped by fear.

So where did His fear come from?

What happened at that time?

Cheng Shi was completely baffled. Unable to understand this problem, he naturally dared not rashly accept the so-called "replacement."

However, [Justice) ], which had just been explaining things to Cheng Shi, remained silent on this matter. It simply sighed deeply, saying with a hint of sadness:

"[Orderly Fear) ] has fallen."

After the Audience Assembly, the [Faith Game] made some mistakes due to the lack of [Order]'s will. I took the opportunity of His death to exploit the situation, hijacked the [Covenant] rules, and temporarily suspended the granting of Trials in order to reduce the impact of the [Faith Game] on reality.

The previous simplification of rules and reduction of procedures... all of these were also attempts to circumvent the [Covenant]!

The [Covenant] is the collective will of the gods, and cannot be defied. As long as it remains unbroken, I will Proxy as its representative.

But I cannot escape death!

Therefore, I have no choice but to oppose the [Covenant].

The Covenant stipulates that when Executor the Covenant is questioned by the gods for losing Justice, a new Proxy the Covenant can be elected simply by having the questioners propose a motion that passes with more than two-thirds of the votes.

Now that everything is ready, I have lost my Justice, and you have obtained more than two-thirds of the gods' votes. For the sake of the future of the Cosmos, a dissenter should be chosen to immediately propose to replace me and accomplish the final Predestination.

Two-thirds of the votes... Cheng Shi. The 9 votes from the Ironclad vote bank plus the 2 votes from [Nothingness] really did reach 2/3 of the total votes. But was this also a scheme?

Did He foresee that he would reclaim the [Nothingness] voting rights?

Otherwise, why would everything proceed so smoothly?

[Justice) ] continued:

I suppose you already know what is Predestination.

I do not know how [Deception] defines the road ahead; I only know that if [Order] has never been true [Order], the world should obtain a new Order.

The existence of [Order] has never been for the exploitation of Faith or the construction of classes, but rather so that the Believer I protect and the people I glorify can live independently, equally, and freely.

Every life deserves respect, and every wisp of consciousness has the right to be recognized. They are independent individuals, not puppets controlled by gods.

True Order is never something lofty and absolute, but rather a scale used by living beings to measure each other's dignity.

The scales of the old world have long been tipped... Unfortunately, I will not live to see the equality of the new world.

Cheng Shi, question me, replace me, fight for a future for this world, and inject a new Order into this Starry Sky.

This is not only [Deception]'s answer to the times, but also [Pride) ]'s expectation of you.

Hurry up, I don't have much time left.

"..."

The will to order expressed in [Justice) Order is a version that Cheng Shi has never heard of before. This will is clearly purer and more noble than the will to Order that people hear about today.

It's no wonder that people have this misunderstanding about [Order], since the true [Order] has long been split, and the one on the Divine Throne of [Order] has been [Deception] and replaced.

When [Chaos] sits on the Divine Throne of Order, how can this chaotic world possibly possess true Order?

Cheng Shi was deeply shaken and realized that the so-called method of replacing the gaze of [Origin] might refer to becoming the Proxy [Covenant].

The problem is that he still doesn't understand why [Justice) ] would choose this time and in this way to "force" itself to become the [Covenant's ] Proxy.

[Deception] happened to be absent, making it impossible to verify. The boss, [Death], was also unaware of [Deception's ] plan. Suddenly, a Fear Faction ally appeared, saying that [Deception's ] plan was exactly like that. This made it difficult for Cheng Shi not to panic.

Even if he felt everything was logical, at this moment, he dared not be wrong.

So Cheng Shi cautiously retreated, trying to remain rational. His mind raced, processing everything he knew. After a moment, he seemed to have gained some insight. He looked at the almost perfectly vertical scales with a complex expression and asked:

"You've already discovered the Universe Truth, and you know that all of this is nothing more than an Experiment by the Creator, right?"

His ruthlessness is completely contrary to your will, and that's where your fear comes from, isn't it?

But you weren't the First Fear Faction, because you said you only realized the [Deception] methods halfway through the era, which also means you didn't learn the truth from [the Deception]... you discovered it yourself.

But by then you had already been incorporated into Covenant [Covenant], becoming its new Proxy, losing the opportunity to leave the Cosmos. How could you possibly know that there are other universes beyond our own?

Your sudden realization is strangely bizarre; I can't find any logical reason to accept it, and you avoid discussing it. After much thought, I can only connect these oddities to one thing.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Because of the Sea of Desire, isn't it?"

"..."

The scales trembled slightly, but remained unresponsive.

But in Cheng Shi's eyes, this was already a response!

His pupils contracted, and he continued to guess:

There's something wrong with the Sea of Desire!

Yes, everyone knows that the Sea of Desire is problematic, but the problem I'm talking about is not the kind of arousal of desire that people understand, but the same problem as [Deception] and Drachirko!

You've been contaminated, haven't you!?

Oh no! It's not just you; all the gods who entered the Sea of Sea of Desire are having problems!

The world is misled by the illusion of a fractured Order. In reality, simply separating the cause and effect, ignoring the process in between, reveals that all deities who have entered the sea of Sea of Desire ultimately...

"He can't escape death?"

Halfway through his sentence, Cheng Shi's voice suddenly distorted, and his eyes widened abruptly.

Although [Order] has split into three, all of them except you have perished, and you are also eager to die;

[War] is long dead; it died on the way to charge towards the Creator.

Drachirko also died, claiming that [Filth and Decay] was meaningless, and perished in the Land of Depravity beside the Sea of Desire;

Then there's [Deception]...

No, no, no, no!!

Cheng Shi suddenly stopped; he seemed unwilling to accept this fact.

If his guess is true, then regardless of whether the answer can be found in the True Universe, the only outcome that seems to await [the Deception] is...

"No!" Cheng Shi clenched his fists tightly, looking at [Justice) ], unwilling to believe it, "Tell me, this isn't true."

The things hidden in the Sea of Desire have corrupted you, giving you a reason to die...

No, I guessed wrong. Tell me, this isn't true, I guessed wrong!

"..."

[Justice) ] remained silent for a long time. Even as Cheng Shi's Cheng Shi twisted in pain, He did not respond, but simply said:

"Question me, replace me, my time is running out."

Unbalanced Justice can no longer withstand the erosion of the [Covenant]. Once I fall before you take my place, the [Covenant] will, according to the rules, automatically select a god to become the new Proxy.

Before that 'lucky one' loses his balance, you will lose all means to take his place.

Admittedly, there are very few in the Cosmos who defy the will to fear, but every Change brings an additional risk.

The Cosmos can't afford to gamble, [Nothingness] can't afford to gamble, [Order] can't afford to gamble, and you... can't afford to gamble either.

The old world should have been destroyed long ago; only from ruins can new life be born.

Let's begin, Cheng Shi, we don't have time.

There's still one weekend left until the event ends, so remember to vote!

President Gong is also recovering. The current queue order is (Li Jingming - Zhang Jizu - Wei Mu - Long Jing). Judging from the number of votes, we should be able to unlock 3 more characters. To increase the vote-getting efforts, starting from 420,000 votes, we will unlock one more character for every additional 10,000 votes. There is no upper limit during the event period. Today's segment review begins the Candidate the fifth character's side story!
