Chapter 1087
Chain reaction...
Void, Hall of Fire-Bringers.
The temperature in the hall today is lower than usual.
Qin Xin sat at the conference table, distracted, always feeling his eyelids twitching.
Although he is not a superstitious person, the hidden unease in his heart made him decide to find someone to ask.
However, as the backbone of the Fire-Bringers, he naturally couldn't pass this unverified anxiety to the Fire-Bringers, so he didn't go to just anyone, but to a god.
【Fire of Hope】.
【Fire of Hope】 is a subordinate god of 【Fate】. Perhaps it would have a more accurate explanation when interpreting these mysterious feelings?
Qin Xin wasn't sure either; he was just seeking peace of mind for the inexplicable irritability in his heart.
But what he didn't expect was that this unease actually manifested in 【Fire of Hope】!
When he found 【Fire of Hope】 in the Hall of Fire-Bringers, this protector of the Fire-Bringers, who was usually giggling and lacked any seriousness, was actually slumped on the ground, dim all over, looking like it was about to go out in the next second.
This scared Qin Xin to death.
"What happened to you?"
He hurried over and helped up the 【Fire of Hope】, which was no longer scorching. The figure with flickering candlelight smiled miserably, shook his head and said:
"Don't panic, I'm fine."
Qin Xin's face turned stern, and he looked around vigilantly:
"If this counts as fine, then I can't think of anything else in this world that would count as a big deal.
Someone invaded?
You are too weak, like you had a fight with someone. Who?
What can I help you with?"
"No need... small problem, I'll be fine after a while."
As soon as the words fell, the flame on the candlelight person's legs went out.
"..." Its face paused, and it smiled miserably again, "Oh no, it seems I'll have to use a wheelchair from now on."
Qin Xin had black lines all over his head, but hearing that the other party still had the strength to mock himself, he finally determined that the situation was not completely out of control, at least there should be no danger at the moment.
"What happened?" He supported 【Fire of Hope】, trying to use his own fire to reconnect the other party's legs.
However, it was useless.
The candlelight person shook his head and sighed:
"Not all fire can give hope to the world.
The fire of 【Fate】 can, but the fire of 【War】 only brings destruction."
Qin Xin always felt that the other party had something in his words, but he couldn't understand the mystery at the first time. 【Fire of Hope】 was just sighing and didn't carry any emotion.
It sighed again and said:
"Don't waste your mental energy, I did have a fight with someone.
He is very dangerous, almost knowing about this starry... space.
But it's fine now. For a long time, the Fire-Bringers will no longer be in danger.
But I might also need to rest for a while.
Qin Xin, during this time, keep a low profile and be vigilant, don't cause trouble for yourself.
【War】 is hot-blooded, but it may not be able to protect believers who are as hot-blooded as it is."
Qin Xin is not a fool. When the other party mentioned his patron repeatedly, he felt that something seemed to have happened between the gods. But since 【Fire of Hope】 didn't say it clearly, he naturally wouldn't ask, just nodded and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, take a good rest for a while.
I will look after everyone, and we will wait for you to come back and light the... Fire of Hope for us again."
The candlelight person looked deep into the hall with a faint gaze and pulled out a slightly reluctant smile.
"Hmm, hope will be lit again."
Void, 【Justice (Order)】 starry sky.
"Summoning Me here, what for?"
Under the balance, a pair of eyes covered with chaotic white miasma looked up at 【Justice (Order)】, and the first sentence was:
"Do you think your foolish actions will have an answer?"
"..."
The balance was silent for a moment, preparing to leave.
It hummed: "The 【Convention】 is not an object for the gods to vent their emotions. Your disdain is misplaced. Do not summon Me for such absurd things in the future."
"Who is absurd?" Those eyes questioned with a scoff, "I was idle and flipped through the 【Convention】 records, and found that there was a meeting of the gods' convention not long ago, involving the authority of true gods.
But I don't have this memory. Observing the gods, no one talked about it at all.
So I guess it was you, 【Justice (Order)】, who secretly suppressed everything and completed this authority transaction with a few gods who cannot see the light.
So I came to ask you, 【Justice (Order)】, are you still just?"
"..."
The balance was silent for a long time, so long that new disdain rose in those eyes.
"Naturally.
I represent the 【Convention】, with justice in my heart, and I can face all questioning in the universe."
"Oh? Is that so?
But your silence has already told me that you have lost your final justice.
Thinking that the greatest 【Order】 of the past can now only survive by relying on so-called 【Fear (Order)】... it's truly ridiculous.
【Justice (Order)】, aren't you going to explain?"
"Gods transfer authority, summon My witness, after the transaction is completed, the authority is returned, everything has laws to follow, in accordance with the 【Convention】 regulations, so no explanation is needed."
"Heh, do you think I will believe it?
It's hard for me to imagine anyone handing over authority to another god and then retrieving it completely.
Why don't you give me an example?"
Just as 【Foolishness】's questioning became sharper, a voice sounded behind it.
"You are naturally hard to imagine, after all, 【Chaos】 is disorderly, and your self-righteous wisdom cannot understand truth."
【Foolishness】's gaze condensed, and it looked back, only to see a star-shining classic opened under the starry sky, shining brightly, emitting dazzling knowledge brilliance.
It was first stunned, then its gaze was playful, and it scoffed:
"So it was you!
I understand, it seems 【Truth】 has caused you quite a bit of trouble.
But I am very curious, how did you persuade 【Justice (Order)】 to kill 【Truth】 outside the sight of the gods?
Don't tell me 【Truth】 is still alive, I don't believe it."
The speed of the star-shining classic turning pages slowed down, and then stopped completely, giggling: "How did you know it was me?"
"Pfft—
【Truth】 only buries its head in seeking, never explains what it does to others, and certainly won't be as yin and yang as you.
Looking at it this way, 【Civilization】 has lost two, 【War】... is coming soon, right?
The gods haven't seen 【War】 for a long time. You hid it, are you laying out a plan, or hiding the news of its death?
【Void】 devours civilization, is it trying to remind the gods that civilization is born false and meaningless?
You really spare no effort to alienate 【*He】."
"..." The star-shining classic stagnated for a moment, and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you just like I killed 【Truth】?"
"Heh, bluffing.
If you really had the means, why hide until now?" Those white divine eyes became more disdainful.
The star-shining classic didn't care, but retorted mockingly:
"Aren't you the same?
Hiding your own authority can curb your curiosity. That's what you think, 【Foolishness】?
Then why don't you guess whether I know where your authority is hidden."
【Foolishness】 didn't care and glanced at "Truth":
"Go ahead and take it, I can't wait to witness the next foolish act.
By then, the truth of this world will tell you that even if you collect all the authority on the sixteen divine seats, foolish acts are still foolish acts."
"..."
【Deception】 can refute all of 【Foolishness】's remarks, but only this one had already been verified before the world reset.
All the efforts in the sliced universe are indeed a foolish act to that 【*He】 above the real universe.
But so what?
【Foolishness】 is born knowing foolishness, 【Truth】 tests foolishness with its body. With this precedent, I might not be able to reconstruct this foolish act.
By then, although foolish acts are foolish, they are not meaningless.
