Chapter 1208: Become My Messenger, Take Away My Authority

Become My Messenger, Take Away My Authority

"You don't believe me?"

Cheng Shi's tone was a bit ashamed and angry. He took a step forward and pointed at himself, shouting excitedly:

"It was me who didn't expose the fact that 【Order】 was replaced and retained the last bit of dignity for 【Order】!

It was me who saw through the past in the Sea of Desire and sent 【War】, who tore 【Order】 apart, to the battlefield of certain death!

It was me who stopped 【Annihilation】 from making a scene at the Gods' Covenant Assembly and maintained the last bit of dignity for 【Order】!

It was also me who ran around tirelessly to protect the last order of this cosmos, even not hesitating to take the risk of being discovered by the Benefactor to bring 【Order】's believer to see you.

But you, actually want to bestow this authority to your believer!

Is this right, is this reasonable, is this fair!?

Does the so-called fairness of 【Order】 negate all efforts and only judge a person's piety by the closeness of faith?

Heh.

Then I have to say, the decline of 【Order】 is not unjust!

Such order is not worthy of me running for it anymore."

After speaking, Cheng Shi waved his hand, glanced at the codex extremely coldly, and left on his own.

Ke Taruo looked left and right, his expression was wonderful, and he immediately followed. The scene only left Li Wufang, who was stunned, standing in front of the codex that kept turning pages, helpless and confused.

The two left the temple one after another. The moment they left 【Order】's vision, Ke Taruo cleverly summoned the chaotic yellow fog, wrapped their figures, and hid in the fog with Cheng Shi, peeking at the subsequent development in the hall.

He was a little nervous in his heart, thought for a long time, and still couldn't help but ask:

"My lord, your acting is a bit......"

"Exaggerated?" Cheng Shi sneered.

Ke Taruo was stunned, then felt at ease:

"It turns out this is also your calculation. It is Ke Taruo who worried too much.

I thought even I could see you were acting, 【Arrogance (Order)】 wouldn't see it clearly, but I didn't expect you to have deep meaning. You are worthy of being Lord Cheng Shi."

"......"

Cheng Shi glanced at Ke Taruo with a strange expression: "You have been licking a bit fiercely recently. You wouldn't have made any mistakes, would you?"

"Ke Taruo wouldn't dare!" The servant of 【Nothingness】 turned pale with fright.

"It's best if you haven't.

I didn't have any deep meaning in doing this. I just wanted to scold.

I've been scolded a lot recently, and I have some insights. Occasionally scolding others is quite refreshing."

"......" Ke Taruo's expression stagnated, puzzled, "Then your plan......"

Cheng Shi laughed twice:

"【Arrogance (Order)】 probably saw through my thoughts, so to prevent any accidents from happening later, I had to leave the field quickly.

Now His choices are not many.

Wufang is an honest man. He never lies to spread 【Fate】. Here he doesn't need to lie. He just needs to tell his Benefactor what he knows, and He will know how much the order of the cosmos has declined.

The Fun God won't let Him out, because there is no blood of the fear faction on 【Arrogance (Order)】.

But Wufang is different. As long as he inherits everything of 【Order】, the Fun God might tolerate a new 【Order】.

After all, 【Chaos】 sitting in that position is only adding chaos. No matter what cooperation they once had, time has changed, and the era should change too."

Ke Taruo listened to all this silently, piously lowering his head without a word. At this moment, he vaguely felt that the scene of watching Lord Cheng Shi lay out the layout was the same as watching the Benefactor stir the cosmos, making people feel convinced.

Outside

Just as Cheng Shi said, apart from the things Li Wufang had just learned at the Fate Assembly that he had not confessed, basically whatever 【Arrogance (Order)】 asked, he answered. Before long, the Code, trapped here for who knows how many years, knew everything that had happened in the current universe.

Although these perspectives carried Li Wufang's subjective color and the sources were very one-sided, for a god who knew the ins and outs of the gods, it was enough. He was sufficient to piece together a complete picture of the current era from the fragmented clues, and thus slowly believed the words Cheng Shi had said.

The order of the universe had truly reached its end; even under the constraints of the 【Convention】, gods had begun to fall.

He knew this was by no means the end, but the beginning of the collapse of order.

The Code fell silent. He had not expected the progress of the era to be worse than he had anticipated, but he became increasingly certain that his choice was correct.

He gently turned a page, restraining his arrogance, trying his best to level his tone, and said to Li Wufang in the image of a "kind and approachable" benefactor:

"I have been imprisoned here by 【Chaos】 and 【Deception】 for too long, and have long since been drained of all my divine power by their methods.

Even if I have the heart to bestow the authority upon you, I cannot bypass their interception.

There is only one way for you to inherit everything of mine, and that is...

Pull out the mocking long nails within my body, tear apart the chaos chains on my person, and only when the divine power of both is unstable can I bestow my authority upon you and acknowledge you as the Messenger promoted by 【Order】 in this era, so as to take back everything belonging to 【Order】 at the Divine Convention Assembly!

My believer, are you willing to take on this great responsibility and spread the final 【Order】 for the universe?"

"!!!"

Not only Li Wufang, but even Cheng Shi and Ke Ta Luo outside the temple held their breath.

Could it be that a new Messenger would really be born in this 【Chaos】 temple today?

But if 【Order】 had no divine power, how did He bestow the ring representing the Inquisitor's seat at that time?

He clearly remembered that it was the mocking long nails loosening the restrictions that allowed the divine power of 【Arrogance (Order)】 to emerge. Could it be that as time went on, the God of Fun had drained 【Order】 dry?

However, setting these aside, were the methods left behind by the God of Fun something a mortal could touch?

Cheng Shi turned his head to look at Ke Ta Luo, only to see that Ke Ta Luo also had a blank face.

He only knew that the benefactor had imprisoned 【Arrogance (Order)】 here, but whether it could be released, or how to release it, the benefactor had not explained.

Even if 【Arrogance (Order)】 had ulterior motives and wanted to use Li Wufang's hands to escape...

The problem was, could Li Wufang do it?

A mortal, breaking the benefactor's cage?

Even if the 【Void】 era was absurd, it couldn't be this absurd, right?

Just as Cheng Shi was suspicious and Ke Ta Luo was puzzled, the Inquisitor also cautiously frowned and asked:

"Benefactor, forgive my offense, but as a mere mortal, how can I pull out the long nails of 【Deception】, and how can I tear apart the chains of 【Chaos】?"

The sound of the Code turning pages stopped, and he let out a cold laugh.

"Perhaps this is a slip-up, or perhaps this was 【Deception】's calculation from the start.

When they joined forces to trap me, they probably never thought that a human would come before me many years later, so while these long nails and chains might be tricky for gods, they are, conversely, no threat at all to a mortal.

When that clown came last time, I thought 【Deception】 had handed the power to release me to him, but his greed made me see everything clearly.

And this time, I only trust my believer.

Inquisitor, as my follower, you have no reason to stop on the path of 【Order】.

Your hesitation does not deserve to act as a proxy for my authority, but I truly have no other choice.

【Civilization】 ignites, 【Order】 endures!

For 【Order】 to endure, you must shoulder everything.

Pull out the long nails, undo the chains, become my Messenger, and take away my authority.

In the era of 【Void】, 【Order】 must speak, and it must be loud and clear!

Regardless of what calculations 【Deception】 and His believers have, do not let hesitation ruin the path of 【Order】, and do not let me question my own choice.

Look directly into your heart and ask yourself, does this era still have order, and does this era need order!"
