As the last words faded, the God of Order dissolved into specks of light.
The pure white space collapsed, and Mu You's consciousness rapidly retreated along the causal line, returning to reality.
In the City of Order, Mu You opened his eyes, still standing where he had been.

Mu You sighed. His final three questions seemingly hadn't yielded any valuable answers, but in fact, the God of Order had indirectly given him plenty of hints.
First, he could be certain that the God-Eater Beasts hadn't appeared out of thin air. They had been artificially created through some means.
The God of Order had admitted that their appearance had something to do with him, yet he himself hadn't fallen victim to them. The God of Chaos, who was no weaker than him, had. Moreover, most of the Gods who fell victim early on had belonged to the Chaos Faction, while those aligned with order had held out until the end.
