The one who responded to Cheng Shi was not one of His Lord of Grace, nor the Chaos Giant Hand that had broken through the layers of mist above the Temple, but an acquaintance, an acquaintance so familiar that he was almost identical to him.

Katarro!

The actor who plays Ultraman then walked over to Cheng Shi with a smile on his face.

When Cheng Shi saw a normal person appear beside him, Cheng Shi felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Thankfully, it's good to have someone I can communicate with normally.

He stood up abruptly, looked at the smiling Katarro, and asked the question that had been bothering him:

"Katarro, I saw... I saw..."

He wanted to tell Katarro everything he had seen and heard to verify it, but he carefully swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

He realized he had no right to question anything. Even if he was the real Ultraman Emissary Ultraman, he had no right to ask what a True God was doing.

But he was too curious about what had just happened and couldn't control his thirst for knowledge, so he had a sudden inspiration and changed his words:

"I think I saw Him in my dream..."

Perhaps it's because I miss Him so much; sigh, I'm always so devout.

"Katarro, is He here now?"

Upon hearing this, Katarro almost lost his composure for a moment.

In this world, Katarro is definitely in the top three when it comes to understanding Cheng Shi. After all, he has been imitating the man in front of him, so when the other party said these words, he could even imagine what Ultraman was thinking, or guess how the other party was blaspheming the gods.

But he didn't dare to say it outright, so he could only smile and shake his head, "I don't know."

"You don't know!?" Cheng Shi looked surprised, but then he understood the answer.

Katarro said nothing, yet it said everything.

Previously, no matter how many times he asked the other party, the other party would give a clear answer. But this time, the other party gave a vague answer, which meant that what he had just experienced was not fake. Chaos had really gone to play the role... no, it had become Order!

So, who will inherit this Temple...?

No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is, what does He want to do?

Where is the Order? Where has the true Order gone?

How did He manage to exploit the loopholes in the "Order"?

Cheng Shi was so curious that he didn't even need to ask any questions, Katarro could read what he wanted to say from his face.

Seeing Ultraman's shocked expression, Katarro bowed his head reverently and spoke slowly and respectfully:

"My lord, I know what you want to ask. If you are ready, Katarro can guide you to the answer."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted sharply. He stared intently at the other person, asking incredulously:

"The answer? You know where [Order] is? He really did lock [Order] away?"

No, that's not right. What do I need to prepare?

What does He want me to prepare?

Cheng Shi did not fall into the blind fervor; he instantly became alert, frowned, and began to think.

Everything he experienced today was clearly being driven silently by a powerful force. He wasn't sure if this force was the one formed from the Chaos Yellow Mist, but it was definitely related to Him.

Looking into Katarro's respectful but uninformed eyes, he began to recall everything that had happened that day. He went over his actions again and again, even tracing back to the moment before he met Li Jingming.

Obviously, the Big Cat is fine. Thinking about it carefully, the teammates and NPCs encountered in the Trials are also fine. Even the Dragon King, who had a scene with him, doesn't seem to have any other tricks up his sleeve.

On the contrary, it's himself! It seems that he has some problems.

When the [Iron Rule of Order] unleashed a chaotic frenzy, dragging everyone into a chaotic feast, he clearly had the opportunity to escape with the three Big Cat. However, in a moment of impulsiveness, he rushed to its side, wanting to offer it a helping hand...

How ridiculous it is that a Mortals, an Emissary, actually wants to lend a helping hand to "He".

Cheng Shi was very self-aware. He knew he was greedy, but his greed at the time seemed to have gone too far. He not only risked his own life, but also the life of the Big Cat, and even the Dragon King's... not counting the Dragon King's.

In that situation, that whim of greed was indeed problematic, but it cannot be ruled out that one might have been slightly disturbed by the "chaos".

In any case, there must be a behind-the-scenes manipulator pushing all of this forward again, and what is this manipulator's purpose...? Is it to move closer to "chaos" or to move closer to "Order"?

Or perhaps... we can find [Order]?

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he looked at Katarro again, saying, "You can lead me to find Him? Katarro, you're not going to tell me that He, the First God of [Order] and [Civilization], is right here in this Temple of [Chaos]?"

Katarro paused, then quietly lowered his head and remained silent, but this reaction alone was enough to say a lot.

He really is here!

Order is trapped in its own Temple by Chaos!

Cheng Shi's eyes widened, his pupils dilating in shock.

My goodness, this is huge news!

If we exchanged Memory with the Dragon King, could we get a return from the Discarded Divine Artifact?

"Where is He?" Cheng Shi asked impatiently.

Katarro smiled and replied, "Are you ready?"

What should I prepare?

"I have no idea."

"... What do you know?"

"I only know what I should know, sir."

Katarro's tone became increasingly polite and respectful, but Cheng Shi didn't appreciate it at all.

"Transfer to manual intervention."

"?" Katarro was stunned; he didn't understand the meaning of those words.

Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Cheng Shi curled his lip in disbelief.

"Forget it, I'm not ready. I don't know what He or they have prepared for me, but I don't intend to find out."

I give up. Since you brought me a choice instead of an order, I choose to give up.

Well, I'm already quite satisfied to know that He is imprisoned here. Um... but I must clarify that I am not secretly pleased to know that a True God is imprisoned, but rather I feel quite rewarded by the shock of learning such a secret.

Yes, that's it.

I am a God Worshipper; I respect Him and would never blaspheme Him.

"..."

Katarro stared dumbfounded at the serious-looking Cheng Shi, twitched his lips, and offered no comment.

Cheng Shi rattled off a bunch of things, which sounded like he was replying to the Katarro, or more like he was replying to them, but in reality, he was trying to persuade himself.

Greed is a path to death, as the Great One on the Bone Throne said. Before you have enough power to know certain secrets, it's best not to learn too much about these things.

Give yourself some time, at least... at least until you reach the pinnacle of Chosen of God and obtain the talent from the God of Merriment that can deceive the gods, before considering these power struggles between the gods.

"Today's harvest was good, I'm satisfied."

Also, Katarro, if you need to contact me next time, could you please give me a heads-up beforehand? Suddenly dragging me into His Temple like that... cough cough, I didn't even have time to tidy myself up.

Katarro lowered his head, suppressing a laugh, and said, "My lord, I am not capable of inviting you into the Temple. Your presence here is naturally due to the invitation of my Lord of Grace."

"???" Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. "Didn't you say He wasn't here?"

"I said I don't know."

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened. "So you mean He's here?"

"I have no idea."

"..." Cheng Shi's heart tightened, his sharp eyes constantly scanning his surroundings, but on the surface he was still amused by Katarro's Tai Chi push hands, "Tell me something you know, otherwise, next time I see Him, I will suggest that He change a substitute."

"!!!" Katarro stood up straight in an instant, looking at Lord Ottoman with a complicated expression, and said solemnly, "I... my lord, the only advice I can give you is: I don't know."

"?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Chaotic Temple vanished with a roar, throwing a bewildered Cheng Shi directly out of the room.

Cheng Shi was extremely confused. He kept repeating those four words to himself, pondering their meaning. As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly widened, and his two constricted pupils reflected an unbelievable shock.

"No, how did I... Faith Fusion again?"
