Chapter 1210

The loud and clear sound of 【Order】

The first to feel the fall of 【Arrogance (Order)】 were not other gods, but the players in the 【Order】 trial settlement.

These clueless players only felt that today's final judgment was particularly harsh; even though they had not violated any legal regulations in the trial, they were still subjected to lashings they could not argue against.

The players had grievances they couldn't voice and could only complain that the game was getting harder and harder, constantly squeezing the living space of humans.

They thought 【Order】 had gone crazy, not knowing that 【Order】 hadn't gone crazy; He was just afraid.

【Fear (Order)】, as the expression of 【Order】's will in the trial, immediately came to a brilliant starry sky after finishing His "work."

Another Him "dwelled" here. As soon as the Him incarnated as the Judgment Chair saw the balance constructed from starlight and flowing light, He said fearfully:

"He is dead, do you feel it? He is dead, 【Order】 is no longer complete!

It must be 【Deception】 who killed Him. 【Deception】 is finally going to make a move on us!

I knew the excuses He once gave about '【Arrogance (Order)】 leaving due to arrogance' were all lies. It must be 【Deception】 who imprisoned Him and then killed Him!

Now His voting power is sufficient, order is dispensable to Him, and He has started to make a move! He is going to make a move!

【Justice (Order)】! Look at me! Tell me, you and I are still standing together!!"

The aura of fear overflowed continuously from the Judgment Chair, yet the Flowing Light Balance remained unmoved, only humming:

"You are afraid."

"Of course I am afraid! The universe is about to completely lose 【Order】, don't you fear it!?"

"But you are 【Order】, and I am 【Order】. 【Order】 has only lost one part, how can you speak of completely losing it?"

"I..."

The Judgment Chair was speechless. A moment later, He said in shock and anger:

"I am trapped in the trial, and you are locked in the 【Convention】. This is all 【Deception】's plan. He had no good intentions when He pushed for the signing of the 【Convention】. He just wanted to disrupt the universe to achieve His 【Void】 goal!

There is only one idiot 【Order Iron Law】 left outside who doesn't know His own identity. Are you going to entrust the last hope of the universe's order to 【Chaos】!

Simply ridiculous!

'If I can make 【Chaos】 convert to 【Order】, would you agree to build a 【Faith Game】 with me?'

Listen, this was the lie He once used to seduce us. Are you still not awake even now, 【Justice (Order)】!

This is all a scam, all a scam!!"

The Flowing Light Balance remained calm, responding to the Judgment Chair's questions unhurriedly.

He said:

"You are afraid, and 【Deception】 is also afraid. Since that is the case, why would you fear Him?"

"?"

The Judgment Chair was stunned. For a moment, He even thought that 【Deception】 had long since dealt with 【Justice (Order)】 and had already taken His place, and that what was before Him now was not 【Order】 of the same origin, but 【Deception】 Himself.

Thinking of this, He became even more afraid.

"Who... exactly are you?"

"I am 【Justice (Order)】, a fragment of 【Order】, the rule of the 【Convention】, and also 【He】's..."

"Enough! Don't say those things, I beg you, don't say those things!" The Judgment Chair let out a sharp cry and kept retreating, seemingly unable to face what the Balance was about to say.

The Flowing Light Balance fell silent, and after a long time, He said faintly:

"This is your fate and mine, and it is also the destination of 【Order】. If the universe wants to possess order, you and I will die sooner or later.

If the old order is not removed, how can there be a new birth?

The notes of 【Order】's fall will be the loud and clear sound of the new order playing."

The Judgment Chair went crazy and roared at the Balance: "I am 【Order】! If I die, where will the universe have order!?"

The tone of the Flowing Light Balance remained without joy or sorrow, but He said something that made the Judgment Chair feel a chill all over.

"True order is not in your hands or mine; we...

are nothing but tools of 【He】."

"【Order】 must speak, and it must be loud and clear!"

These were the words 【Arrogance (Order)】 said before self-destructing, but He clearly died silently, so how could it be considered loud and clear?

Cheng Shi had a headache. He not only had to think about what calculations were hidden behind the disintegration of the Code, but also felt it was a pity that he hadn't been able to obtain the authority of 【Order】.

He had thought that what was buried in the 【Chaos】 temple was a treasure, but who would have thought that he wouldn't find the treasure and instead get himself covered in filth.

The other fragments of 【Order】, one in the trial and one in the 【Convention】—given his performance, it was probably impossible to squeeze any benefits out of these two, so the only place left to find the authority of 【Order】 was the 【Order Iron Law】.

Cheng Shi wasn't deliberately trying to collect the authority of 【Order】; it was just that among the gods who were "not in their place," 【Order】 was the easiest to "approach."

His reason for wanting the authority of 【Order】 was the same as picking up the authority of 【War】: to hold more power in his own hands to resist the risks from the real universe, and... the risks from the 【Void】.

Now it seemed he was one move behind; his intentions had likely been known by the God of Fun long ago and had been utilized by Him and 【Arrogance (Order)】 together.

Sure enough, there were no simple characters among the gods.

He stood in the temple, frowning and deep in thought. Li Wufang had "done something wrong," so naturally, he didn't dare to disturb him and could only whisper to Ke Ta Luo, who was also standing by.

Li Wufang had too many doubts in his heart and didn't know where to start asking, but after seeing Ke Ta Luo's devout expression, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to him, and he asked:

"Brother Cheng... is he a human or a god?"

Ke Ta Luo's heart tightened, thinking that as expected of an Inquisitor, he had indeed seen through the clues. But he certainly wouldn't dare to speak nonsense before getting permission from Master Cheng Shi, so he had to shift his gaze and look up at the temple ceiling.

Who would have thought that this casual glance upward would make Li Wufang immediately understand!

Humans and gods are different. If mortals are the soil under their feet, then gods are undoubtedly the stars in the sky. Since Ke Ta Luo looked up, didn't that mean Brother Cheng was a god!?

Li Wufang held his breath instantly and secretly glanced at Cheng Shi. He should have thought long ago that this player who understood the truth of the universe and led them to resist 【Fate】 was not a mortal. What mortal would dare to challenge the authority of the gods like this, and even dare to talk about the Creator who sat high above the real universe!

But when he truly realized that the brother standing beside him was a god, Li Wufang still felt a sense of trance.

He examined Cheng Shi for a long time, his brain heated up, and he blurted out:

"Brother Cheng, what is your divine name?"

"?"

Cheng Shi was taken aback, his train of thought interrupted. He looked at Li Wufang with a strange expression and stated the emergency plan without thinking.

He felt that it was not yet time to confess to the destined person. Besides, it was too strange to state his own identity.

"My life is your life; the fates of us destined people have long been tied together."

"..."

Li Wufang was dumbfounded. With his chaotic mind, he didn't even doubt whether Cheng Shi was fobbing him off; he was even wondering if he really couldn't distinguish between front and back nasal sounds.

That couldn't be, right?

He turned his head to look at Ke Ta Luo, only to see the clever Ke Ta Luo smile slightly and nod:

"My life belongs to the benefactor, and also to the master."

Which master?

Li Wufang couldn't guess. He only knew that Ke Ta Luo had used his own confusion to flatter that "master" heavily.
