A Better Choice

Li Wufang's reaching out stunned Cheng Shi for a moment.

He knew the investigator who dared to trust his life to fate was very brave, but he didn't think the other could be so brave.

I have the Benefactor supporting me on my head, and a group of fear-faction gods guaranteeing me, so naturally I am fearless. You, what do you rely on?

The moment he reached out, Li Wufang also realized he had made a big mistake. His face stiffened, his whole body tightened, and he looked at Cheng Shi for help.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows, amused.

It turns out the one supporting you is me, then it's fine.

A clown with high professional level would never let the scene go cold. Cheng Shi switched his speech in a second, looked at the codex, and said with a straight face:

"You've seen it too. This is the current situation of cosmic order. Even a pious 【Order】 believer has to be forced by external pressure to dare to ask you for a gift. This shows that saving cosmic order has reached a point where it can't be delayed.

Time might not be worth mentioning to gods, but to your believers, every minute and every second is precious.

You cannot measure the piety in the dimension of mortal life with the long view of a true god. Every second you waste here will make your believers suffer double the suffering on the path afterward.

Of course, in order to spread 【Order】's will, they don't fear suffering and are willing to accept it, but the steps of faith are limited, and there is not only one god in this cosmos.

The slower they walk, the faster the followers of other faiths walk. When all the steps measuring piety belong to other faiths, then the god closest to 【Him】 will definitely not be you.

Don't hesitate, great 【Order】. We are not grabbing time for ourselves; we are racing against time for you!"

When these words were finished, even Ke Taruo couldn't listen anymore. In terms of thick-skinnedness, besides the Benefactor, only Cheng Shi was left in this cosmos.

No wonder he could become the favorite of 【Nothingness】.

Li Wufang was also stunned. He didn't expect himself to be so important. Being said so by the Fate Weaver, the hand he reached out seemed to have confidence.

The codex still didn't speak. It started turning pages again. The rustling sound echoed through the temple. After finding some clauses in the codex, it finally opened its mouth after a long silence:

"It is in accordance with the rules to bestow authority to members of the judgment seat, but......"

"!!!"

Cheng Shi's spirit was lifted. He didn't expect at all that his lion's opening could be exchanged for a real promise. After all, the last time his tongue was brilliant, it only exchanged for a title. It seems that bringing 【Order】 believers to cheer is really useful.

For a time, the investigator became a full-score tool man in his eyes.

Cheng Shi said eagerly:

"But what? If you have any requirements, just mention them. As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely satisfy them.

There's no need to say more about spreading 【Order】's will. I have already walked on this path steadily, persistently and firmly."

"......" The codex stagnated again for a moment, and then mocked, "Lies, never believable.

The reason I believed you last time was because, just as you said, I had no better choice.

But this time is different."

The codex's voice paused, "looking" at Li Wufang and his outstretched hand.

"I have to thank you for bringing me a pious follower.

I will bestow my authority to my believer, letting Him act as 【Order】 in the world with my will.

Since you are anxious to save cosmic order, I think you won't disagree with this?"

"???"

Cheng Shi's face changed drastically. He widened his eyes, his gaze constantly jumping between Li Wufang and the codex, seemingly not expecting that he would lift a rock and hit his own foot, and that his clever-like design would make him lose the opportunity to get close to authority.

This reaction was seen by the codex, and it was another cold snort.

It seemed to see through everything.

Little did it know, just when even Ke Taruo felt sorry for Lord Cheng Shi, Cheng Shi was laughing in his heart.

Old man, you still want to play tricks with me?

Then you are a bit too small to look down on me.

Cheng Shi's face was iron-blue on the surface, but he was clicking his tongue in his heart.

The investigator had long been tied to the pirate ship of the Predestined Ones by him, so his trip wasn't to ask for authority for himself at all. From the beginning, he wanted Li Wufang to inherit 【Order】's authority!

You know, even if one's own authority is more, it's impossible to become the real 【Order】, at most it's like 【Decay】, acting on some 【Order】 authority.

For Cheng Shi's current situation, facing players, he no longer needs to be strong. Facing gods, even if he acts on one more authority, it's still useless. Whether he has authority or not has no meaning to him.

But once this authority falls on Li Wufang, the whole thing becomes different!

【Order Iron Law】 is the only member of the Gods' Covenant Assembly who cast a negative vote. And with what 【Nothingness】 is doing, whether it's 【Fraud】 or 【Fate】, it's impossible to get 【Order Iron Law】's affirmation.

If you want to get this vote, or if you want to kick Him out of the gods' card table, you can only start from breaking His identity and restoring the "real" 【Order】.

Cheng Shi is no possibility of becoming the "true 【Order】," but Li Wufang is different; he is a pure believer of 【Order】. Once he is allowed to act as the proxy for the 【Order】 authority, as long as he finds an 【Order】 vessel, Cheng Shi will have the opportunity to use vertical and horizontal alliances to once again replicate the scene where the "Messenger" snatched the throne of a true god, expelling that false 【Order】 from the 【Order】 throne!

And this time, unlike the past, Li Wufang is one of our own. This has been confirmed in other sliced universes. With Cheng Shi's eye for people, he also believes that Li Wufang won't betray him. In this way, if the matter of toppling 【Order Iron Law】 can succeed, then this vote will no longer be in the hands of the fear faction, but in Cheng Shi's own hands.

This is of great significance to Cheng Shi's layout, so he staged a good show of "Please let the king give up the seat" with the investigator today.

It's just that he didn't expect Li Wufang's brain to twitch and reach out, perfectly cooperating with him, and he didn't expect 【Order】 to loosen his mouth so quickly.

Seeing that everything was as smooth as he expected, Cheng Shi hid his merit and fame.

On the contrary, the investigator stood in place helplessly, still unable to accept that he was about to act on the Benefactor's authority.

I...... am I worthy?

When I chose 【Order】 at the beginning of the path of fate, wasn't it because there was no 【Fate】 to choose?

Now let me lift the last will of 【Order】......

Li Wufang looked at Cheng Shi, really wanting to say to his Benefactor: I think the Fate Weaver acting on your will is more effective.

But Cheng Shi read his expression and immediately passed some information to him without changing his face.

Li Wufang understood, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he finally realized that the Fate Weaver's plan wasn't for the Fate Weaver himself at all, but for him!

This Predestined One who made people unable to see the depth, just casually gave the true god authority to him!

At this moment, he remembered the sentence Cheng Shi said at the Predestined Small Assembly:

"This is the true predestination—predestined...... you and I to be gods!"

At that time, he only thought this was another rhetoric of the Fate Weaver to fool everyone, but now it seems......

The authority has come, so can becoming a god be far away? ===== CHAPTER 1208 =====
