Chapter 1067
Meeting of the God Convention.
The outside world is facing countless collapses and reorganizations, a process that may last for a long time. And the gods "imprisoned" by 【Truth】 in a corner were not idle either, starting their second game of chess.
After 【Truth】 self-destructed, 【Justice (Order)】 appeared for the first time. The order-shaking sound that resounded through the universe overwhelmed the noise of the world's destruction, once again pulling the gods into a brilliant and orderly starry sky.
The gods sat opposite each other, with 7 seats vacant: 【Prosperity】, 【Filth】, 【Decay】, 【Truth】, 【War】, 【Foolish】, and 【Time】 were all absent.
The remaining nine were the voters for today's God Convention, and today's topic was also very simple: how to distribute the authority of 【Truth】!
Even if the universe was experiencing the end of the world, 【Justice (Order)】 executed the agreement of 【Convention】 meticulously, as if the destruction of this world had nothing to do with Him.
Indeed, 【Convention】 only agreed to protect divine authority from being lost when it was formulated, but did not write down that it would save the universe from collapsing. So at this moment, although 【Justice (Order)】 hindered the gods from "saving the world," He was still "orderly."
The balance representing the most just of the universe first looked at the 【Iron Law of Order】 on the 【Order】 seat, and then buzzed:
"【Truth】 destroyed His own throne, left behind His authority, and bestowed a Final Edict, saying:
Truth lies in questing, in accumulation, in specialization, so I do not order the gods to divide my authority, but to gift all authority to one god. Those who are willing to take over my authority shall participate in the meeting, and it shall be obtained by a majority vote.
So today, the God Convention is convened; please start voting."
As soon as the words fell, a god immediately cast a vote.
Only to see a star shining above 【Birth】's head, and the thick 【Divine Pillar】 whipped the starry sky, saying urgently:
"Quick—
Child—"
Apparently, someone was in a hurry to get off work to pick up their child.
But wherever there is work, there are many helplessness. Overtime is already the norm. Before the meeting ends, no one is allowed to leave.
The gods looked at 【Birth】 with different expressions. At this time, it was definitely not profitable to vote for oneself. 【Truth】's Final Edict required a majority vote to obtain it. There were 9 participants present, so at least 5 votes were needed.
But wanting to get five votes is so difficult. For the gods present, this was no different from personally gifting the authority of 【Truth】 to others, so the matter was far from that simple.
Before the gods discussed, simply voting for oneself was a waste of time and meaningless, so the gods present were very speechless at 【Birth】's impatience.
You say He doesn't want authority, but He came to the meeting.
But you say He wants it, but He doesn't care about strategy at all.
Fortunately, everyone was already used to this "big brother's" attitude: everything is about participation, not being cold or absent. As for the rest, He ignores it all, stable like an invariant in 【Truth】's experiment.
But other gods thought a lot more.
【Deception】 took in the expressions of the gods and glanced at His sibling god, who was frowning and cold-faced beside Him, and said happily:
"Yo, worried about your believer?
What's the use of worrying? A mortal cannot participate in the God Convention."
His words carried a hint of sarcasm; anyone who heard it knew He was pointing at something.
After all, it was 【Deception】 who brought the clown to the last convention, so these words were less like sarcasm and more like passing a message.
But 【Destiny】's eyes flickered, and He did not speak.
To be honest, what He was worried about was not just the believer, but the world.
The established has not yet moved toward the true established; the world should not be destroyed here. But He was shackled by 【Convention】 and indeed did not have the ability to break the Final Edict, so rather than choosing to make a big scene, it was better to vote honestly, quickly pass the meeting to send 【Justice (Order)】 away, and then go to save the universe.
It's just that some gods were clearly unwilling to end this convention so quickly. 【Deception】 saw that 【Destiny】 did not react, rolled His eyes, thought for a moment, and then smiled and shouted at 【Justice (Order)】:
"Old antique, before voting, I have one more question."
【Justice (Order)】 was the only god who would not avoid 【Deception】's speech because He foresaw that He was going to make trouble; after all, He represented 【Convention】.
"Speak freely."
【Deception】 raised His eyes and smiled: "【Truth】 only agreed on His authority before He died, but did not mention His voting rights, so I want to ask, how should the two voting rights in His hands be divided?"
Not bad; 【Truth】 had two voting rights in His hands, one was His own, and the other was inherited from 【Prosperity】.
These two voting rights helped Him a lot in preparing for this experiment, and at this moment, they had become ownerless objects.
【Deception】's question aroused the interest of all the gods present; after all, those were two extra votes, and these two votes could play a decisive role at many critical moments.
The gods were waiting for 【Justice (Order)】's response, but before He could respond, 【Deception】 spoke again.
"I remember one of the voting rights belonged to 【Prosperity】, right?
Since the god who took away the voting right has fallen, and 【Prosperity】 now has a proxy, then according to the principle of fairness, shouldn't this voting right be returned to 【Prosperity】?"
As soon as the words fell, voices of opposition immediately appeared in the venue.
"I object!"
【Annihilation】 looked at 【Deception】 gloomily, glanced at 【Destiny】, and snorted coldly:
"Don't think others don't know what relationship that so-called proxy has with you 【Void】. Gifting voting rights to a mortal—heh, only you 【Deception】 could think of it. How is this any different from giving yourself a vote? It would be better to just give you the authority of 【Truth】 together."
【Deception】 raised His eyebrows and said happily:
"Although I don't like the Pen-pusher much, since I'm already here, it's not impossible.
When are you giving it to me? Now?"
"...?"
Can't you tell the difference between good words and bad words?
【Annihilation】 snorted coldly again and looked away.
Regardless of whether 【Deception】 heard it or not, 【Death】 understood.
After pondering for a moment, a wisp of green flame suddenly emerged from His hollow eye sockets, and He proposed to everyone:
"Even if, Lady Fulazhuo, has no, voting rights, but He, after all, is, 【Life】's, member.
Also has, the power, to attend, the convention, 【Justice (Order)】, have you, asked, Him, whether, He, is willing, to attend, this meeting?"
【Justice (Order)】 was silent for a moment, because in His view, a proxy is not a real god, and the other party's state still belongs to a mortal. Even if He possesses a container, does a mortal holding a container have the qualification to attend when even the Messenger has not attended?
The coincidence of this matter is that 【Convention】 has no clear regulations on this, so everything has to be discussed. So 【Justice (Order)】 looked at the gods present and began to seek their opinions.
As long as the 【Prosperity】 proxy has no voting rights, it does not affect the ownership of 【Truth】's authority, so the other gods had no opinion. The most important thing is that 【Deception】 has already spoken, and it looks like He is pulling 【Death】's vote. If He doesn't give 【Death】 face at this time, in case His vote is really pulled away... that would be too passive.
So the gods were silent.
【Annihilation】 also knew that He could not deny a request that seemed "reasonable," so He simply did not make a sound either.
Just like that, with the tacit approval of the gods, 【Justice (Order)】 pulled Lady Fulazhuo into the meeting.
In the next second, nine pairs of divine eyes plus a balance saw a sleeping bear emitting slight snoring sounds appear on the seat of 【Prosperity】.
