Facing 【Order】

Over in the room, the discussion between Chenosli and Mo Qiusi finally came to an end.

The time they agreed upon was midnight three days later, at the moment when the shift-change times inside and outside the Grand Judgment Court overlapped.

After memorizing their entire plan, Li Jingming finally didn't waste any more time and drove his 【Memory】 power to accelerate the passage of time in the dream, quickly bringing time to the day of Chenosli's action.

The scene in the dream shifted and changed. In the blink of an eye, the three of them appeared near the Grand Judgment Court, and at this moment, Chenosli was crossing the high wall under Mo Qiusi's cover, heading toward the depths of the Judgment Court.

The three ghosts followed quietly behind, sneaking in all the way along with the target.

Chenosli's preparation was very thorough. He timed every shift-change gap perfectly, sneaking quickly through the moments when the Iron Law Knights were distracted. Of course, these knights guarding the Grand Judgment Court were not as alert as the guards of the Howling Iron Prison; perhaps in their perception, in this capital filled with the aura of 【Order】, no one would dare to come and "seek death."

Not long after, the group of "people" arrived at the high pavilion dedicated to the 【Order Iron Law】. Standing outside the high pavilion, Chenosli's expression became extremely complex.

His humility revealed unyieldingness, his piety was mixed with doubt, his firmness was filled with trepidation, and his fear erupted with courage. He looked at this holy place where 【Order】 had once watched, descended, and even provided guidance to the Grand Judgment Court. His heartbeat was like a giant hammer beating a drum, and his brain was like a roar of thunder.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but he knew that 【Order】... must be able to withstand questioning!

Because this was what his teacher, Grand Justice Lord Laquis, had taught him his whole life.

So, in this state of mind, Chenosli's expression became increasingly resolute, his eyes increasingly firm. He spotted a moment when no one was around and took his first step toward this high building representing Him, a step that was almost "blasphemous."

Looking at the other three who were not the protagonists, they seemed to be infected by this tense atmosphere, their expressions becoming solemn one by one.

Of course, what made them nervous was not Chenosli's performance, nor the oppressive atmosphere around them, but... Him, the 【Order Iron Law】!

A god's gaze does not distinguish between future and past, reality and dream. Once they followed this First-Rank Judge and took this step, it meant that these three players, like Chenosli, would face 【Order】 directly in this dream that belonged to the other party!

What was terrifying was that some of them had already realized that 【Order】 had a problem.

What was even more terrifying was that Cheng Shi already knew that the one in the high pavilion was not 【Order】.

So, out of caution, Cheng Shi pushed Long Wang in front of him and pulled the Big Cat behind him. When there were meat shields in front and behind, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed by 0.001 percent.

The Big Cat's expression was also very solemn, but hidden within this solemnity were some unknown eagerness to try.

No one knew what she was thinking; they only heard her ask: "Are we... counting this as an audience with a god?"

Li Jingming walked steadily, with no heart for idle chatter. Cheng Shi hid in the middle and nodded quietly: "If blaspheming a god to their face also counts as an audience, well, I think we are."

"..."

"..."

This joke stretched the surrounding tense atmosphere to the limit. Li Jingming, walking in front, even paused, took a deep breath, and then cautiously followed again.

Chenosli also walked steadily. He didn't choose to climb over the outer wall into the high pavilion directly, but took advantage of the night to push open the gate on the first floor lightly, and then walked in silently, slightly piously, and on tiptoe.

And the moment the three people behind him slipped in through the wide-open door crack, this one person and three "ghosts" were all stunned on the spot.

Because they discovered that the 【Order Iron Law】, which should have been placed on the top floor, representing the will of 【Order】 and the supreme constitution of the Grand Judgment Court, was at this moment floating in mid-air before their eyes, emitting endless holy light of 【Order】, facing them, and flipping its own pages with a rustle.

He saw them and caught this group of people with ulterior motives!

Chenosli was instantly dumbfounded. His first reaction was to greet it with a pious kneeling ritual.

"The fire of civilization rises, 【Order】 endures forever. Praise the great Lord, praise the God of 【Order】 who allows the civilization of the world to develop in an orderly manner!"

And when he blurted out the instinctive praise, he realized that he hadn't come here to have an audience with the Lord, but to... question the Lord.

So, under the shocked and stunned observation of Cheng Shi and the others, this "audacious" believer of 【Order】 got straight to the point, speaking bluntly, and without any preamble, asked the Lord's gift before him the biggest question in his heart.

"Dare I ask, Lord, is everything my teacher, Grand Justice Lord Laquis, said true?"

As soon as this question was asked, Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat.

No, buddy, wasn't the plan you discussed with Mo Qiusi quite good? First express your piety, then offer your experiences, then talk about judgment, and finally lead to the questioning. You two discussed it all night and prepared a complete set of rhetoric, so why, when you got here, did you only say the last sentence?

What about the preamble, the emotional appeal, the step-by-step approach!?

Just like that, it's gone?

How is this question any different from blasphemy?

Blasphemy isn't even done the way you're doing it!

Do you really think everyone is a darling of 【Nothingness】, and every "He" is the God of Fun?

I question Him, and He can laugh and mock me; you question 【Order】, guess how He will judge you?

No need to guess, because the judgment of 【Order】 appeared immediately.

Not long after Chenosli asked this question, the 【Order Iron Law】 floating in the air began to flip its pages frantically.

The speed at which He flipped the pages became faster and faster, until in the end, it was almost equivalent to ravaging the paper in the code. Not only that, as the sound of flipping pages became more violent, the holy light of 【Order】 emitted from the code gradually distorted into a turbid, chaotic yellow light.

And when this familiar light flashed, there was a "Boom—" in Cheng Shi's brain, and it exploded!

【Chaos】!

This chaotic yellow light was too familiar. Not long ago, he had played the Messenger of 【Chaos】 in that surging chaotic yellow fog and deceived the Grand Marshal.

And the color refracted and permeated by that yellow fog was exactly the same as the yellow shining on Chenosli's head at this very moment!

This was no radiance of 【Order】; this was clearly the turbid light of 【Chaos】!

Cheng Shi's whole body tightened suddenly, and a chill pushed straight from his tailbone to his crown. Even though he was in the state of a spiritual body, he felt goosebumps rising layer after layer.

Why was there 【Chaos】?

How could there be 【Chaos】!?

This 【Order】 gift representing the supreme constitution, this 【Order】 incarnation representing the will of 【Order】, this 【Order Iron Law】 that usurped the throne of 【Order】... how could it emit the light of 【Chaos】!

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded; even at the moment when 【Prosperity】 destroyed itself, he had never been so shocked.

His reaction was quickly sensed by Long Wang and the Big Cat. The two realized something was wrong and spontaneously moved closer to him.

The Big Cat asked with some concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Jingming turned his head solemnly: "【Order】 really has a problem; His light has become turbid."

"!!!"

Hearing Long Wang's words, Cheng Shi suddenly raised his head and looked at the 【Order Iron Law】 in the arena again. He suddenly realized one thing: what He changed was not the aura of 【Order】, but simply the light of 【Order】.

In other words, this 【Order】 overflowing with chaotic turbid light that no one could recognize was, at this very moment, still 【Order】 in the eyes of Long Wang and the Big Cat, just an 【Order】 that had a problem.

They couldn't distinguish the meaning pointed to by this light, so they didn't know what had happened yet.

But Cheng Shi knew too well. Fear even rose in his heart because he had already felt the familiar aura beginning to emanate from the turbid light, and this kind of aura was something he had only felt when he was climbing the 【Chaos Divine Rank】!

It was an aura of indiscriminate chaos about to welcome a storm!

His heart tightened. He pulled Long Wang and the Big Cat and retreated frantically. These two were very decisive; they had already prepared to retreat when they discovered Cheng Shi's abnormality. Seeing Cheng Shi's face change drastically, they knew there was an accident on the scene that they hadn't discovered, so their eyes sharpened, and they immediately took Cheng Shi and rushed out of the high pavilion.

But they were still a step too slow, because the 【Order Iron Law】 was becoming increasingly manic.

His pages flipped back and forth like waves, and in the blink of an eye, they exploded without warning. Countless pages inscribed with legal symbols fell off the code one after another. The holy light of the legal words on them dimmed, red light flashed frequently, and countless distorted scratches spread between them, as if trying to erase all these civilization artifacts engraved with 【Order】.

Strands of terrifying and inexplicable 【Chaos】 power erupted from countless pages one after another, like overlapping waves in a tsunami, roaring and surging, instantly rushing in all directions, knocking the one person and three "ghosts" who couldn't escape in time to the ground.
