"I am the Sovereign of Fate. There isn't much in this universe that can be hidden from me."
Jiang Hao said it without expression.

Once an Authority gained a master, the other True Gods and Demigods who held it would lose their claim to it, along with the abilities derived from it.
The Good and Evil Twin Serpents, who embodied the two sides of Order, were no exception. After the two True Gods created the Multiverse together, the Creator God would inevitably emerge from one of them—and only one.
Jiang Hao had once assumed that after creating the universe together, the two would fight over the position of Creator God. The victor would ascend; the loser would fall.
But in one future he had observed, the awakened Evil Serpent had not immediately launched a full-scale assault on the Abyss, stormed Lady of Night's Divine Kingdom, or sought Asmodeus in the boundless darkness.
