"Zainjil is rarely recorded in the history books of the Tower of Reason. The limited historical materials record that he violated the school's rules many times when he was young, and used prohibited items to conduct research on creation in private, and was warned many times.

But he was very talented and quickly distinguished himself in the school of thought, attracting the attention of the Scholarly Council and receiving substantial financial and human support.

Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. At the height of his fame, he once again secretly began forbidden Experiment. Later, Experiment accident occurred, the school's Experiment exploded and collapsed, and almost all the students of the Creation Alchemy School perished with him..."

After listening, Cheng Shi lowered his head and pondered.

That makes sense, according to Chenosli.

After Zainjil was assassinated, his students were all exiled. Among them, Ados and Katarro went underground and joined the ranks of the nascent Believer of Chaos.

From the perspective of the Tower of Reason, such a sordid act should naturally and legally have its traces erased.

What kind of Experiment was he conducting?

"There is no record of this in historical documents, but according to rumors, Zainjil initiated an Experiment called 'The Flesh-God Birth,' in which he attempted to use the [Truth] Divinity stolen from the Scholarly Council, combined with the puppetry technology of alchemical creation, to create a completely new [God]!"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi's eyes widened suddenly, his mind buzzing.

No wonder Ados could get along with Chenosli; even his teacher was starting to create a god!

As a student, is it too much to simply summon the gaze of a New God?

"He succeeded?"

"Didn't I tell you? It failed. Divinity exploded, and the entire school of thought was wiped out."

Wrong!

Chenosli clearly stated that "the Tower of Reason assassinated Zainjil before he could release his latest findings," which means that Zainjil had succeeded!

If this rumor is accurate, it means that Zainjil has already created a god!

At the very least, it is a flesh-and-blood being that contains Divinity!

Holy crap!

Where did this life go?

Was it taken by the Tower of Reason?

Cheng Shi silently noted all of this down, and then asked:

"Not a single student from that school escaped?"

"There are almost none. If there were, there would be records. After all, they were survivors of a large-scale Experiment accident, so there would be some record in history books."

Cheng Shi frowned, sensing something was amiss, and continued to probe:

"But I've heard, I think, that a student of the Alchemy and Creation School named Ados killed the Adjudicator of the Grand Inquisition Morkius, which triggered a full-scale war on the Surface during the middle of the Civilization Era. If we calculate the time, it seems to be around the same period as Zainjil?"

Gao Yu was somewhat surprised, but he praised him with a happy expression:

"Being able to name Morkius is enough to prove that you really like history. This person is rarely seen even in the official history of the Grand Inquisition. He is basically pieced together from fragmented information within the school."

However, you are wrong about one thing. It was not Ados, whom you mentioned, who killed Morkius. I don't think I've ever heard of that name.

The one who truly killed this First Adjudicator was a mysterious figure from underground!

After sifting through a vast amount of material, we finally found a clue in a collection of poems compiled by a bard born at the end of the Civilization Era.

He recounted witnessing, during his underground travels, that Believer in "chaos" were holding a memorial service. During the service, a name was mentioned—a person named...

Ultraman!

"!!!???"

"Buzz—"

Upon hearing the name, Cheng Shi felt as if his brain had been struck by a thunderbolt, and a resounding buzz echoed Cosmos.

Gao Yu chuckled at his shocked expression.

"You're surprised, aren't you? I never expected the people of Isle of Hope to choose this name. It's hilarious. This name is so out of place and completely incompatible with serious history."

Cheng Shi a while to recover. He quickly composed himself, forcing a wry smile, and remarked:

"Indeed, it's like modern emoticons appearing on ancient calligraphy scrolls, which is both laughable and absurd."

However, this person...

What does it do?

Gao Yu was engrossed in his conversation, his eyes gleaming, and he whispered in a tone that suggested, "This is absolutely the most explosive gossip ever!"

"History School have not yet determined the identity of this person."

Some believe he was a puppet Scholar exiled by the Tower of Reason and seduced by underground Faith;

Some believe he was Adjudicator who betrayed the Grand Inquisition and was willing to take revenge on his former employer for the sake of the underground Faith;

Some people believe that He—yes, you heard right, He—is the forerunner of Chaos and the Emissary of disorder!

At the stage when [War] had just gazed upon the Isle of Hope but had not yet descended upon it, at the point in time when [Chaos] had not yet discovered that universe, He traversed the Starry Sky, found this paradise for His Lord of Grace, and sowed His Will in advance in the Underground World!

How about that? Doesn't it feel epic? This could very well be the story of a [Emissary]!

This could very well be the beginning of chaos!

I spent a lot of points to redeem it from within the school!

You got a good deal!

Hello, Cheng Shi?

What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Are you shocked?

Ah yes, ah yes yes yes!

It was so shocking, it felt like my skull was about to explode.

When the hell did I become the Emissary of "chaos"?

Ah?

Is this me?

Isn't this "outman" a spur-of-the-moment comment of mine?

How did it end up in the historical records found by the History School?

Okay, really okay.

I, Cheng Shi, am not only Believer in [Deception], a "Oathbreaker" of [Destiny], and an intern of [death]...

He even became the Emissary of chaos!

How come I didn't know I had so many identities?!

Is this really a new Trials?

Am I still dreaming?!

Cheng Shi's extremely stable emotions crumbled at this moment. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

"Smack."

It was crisp and painful.

It's not a dream.

"..."

Gao Yu was somewhat bewildered by what he saw.

"Your way of getting excited is quite unique, huh?"

"..."

Coming to his senses from his emotional outburst, Cheng Shi's expression gradually turned serious.

If Gao Yu had no ulterior motives, if this random chat he initiated wasn't guided or altered by [something], if that bard and his poetry collection truly existed, if...

He racked his brains, considering countless "what ifs," before daring to integrate the current information and draw an unbelievable conclusion:

In the previous Trials, he changed the history of the Isle of Hope.

A player from real life changed the background of the [Faith Game]!

This was almost identical to Du Xiguang's act of altering everyone's Memory. Cheng Shi connected this cause and effect to a [being].

[Memory]!

Did He do something?

After all, He is the enemy of [Deception], while He himself is the "cherished" possession of [Deception].

If He truly took action, the only possible time for doing so could be after His own audience with Death.

Because [Death] has a good feeling towards itself, but not a good feeling towards [Memory] for not finding Garuda's Dagger for Him.

If He had already been burdened with altered Memory at that time, He probably wouldn't have ignored it.

So, is it Him?

If so, what is the purpose?
