Chapter 894: [Order], do you plead guilty?

"【Order】, do you plead guilty?"

"One of?"

Before Zhen Xin could react, "Cheng Shi" had already skillfully taken on the role of a straight man in a crosstalk act. Ke Ke Ta Luo, however, acted like a complete novice who understood nothing, asking questions with reckless abandon during this bizarre prison visit.

"My lord, why do you say 'one of the 【Order】s'? Could it be that there are many 【Order】s in this world?"

"......"

Good question!

This question hit the nail on the head!

I want to know too!

Cheng Shi, however, was not stumped. Instead, he began to explain the secrets of the gods of that era to the two of them based on his limited intelligence.

"That is a long story."

He first nodded toward the bound 【Order】, offering a slight apology for exposing someone's scars to their face, and then patched his narrative in advance.

"I once experienced a period of chaos and missed that brilliant past, so my understanding of this matter comes only from the accounts of others."

"Legend has it that during a certain divine war, 【Order】, for the sake of peace in the universe, stepped into the Sea of Desire, attempting to pacify the greatest collection of desires in this world: 【Filthy Corruption】."

"【Order】 once stepped into the Sea of Desire!?" Ke Ke Ta Luo exclaimed in disbelief. "The Sea of Desire still remains, yet 【Order】 is imprisoned. Does this mean 【Order】 lost, my lord?"

"......"

That's enough, that's enough. You're laying it on a bit too thick, brother.

Cheng Shi's eyelid twitched, but he had no choice but to nod in cooperation.

"Indeed, He failed."

"Under the tug-of-war of desire, the 【Order】 of that time ceased to exist, shattering into different fragments of order."

"【Justice (Order)】 presides over the 【Covenant】 for the gods, 【Fear (Order)】 became the 【Order】 will in the games you participate in, 【Order's Iron Law】 replaced His original divine seat and became the guide for billions of 【Order】 believers. As for this one, 【Arrogance (Order)】......"

"I only recently learned that He was trapped here."

"It seems that the Benefactor's closeness to 【Nothingness】 was not just following the tide of the era; they had likely begun cooperating long ago, and the content of that cooperation was the hunting of another true god."

"Don't you agree, great 【Order】?"

Cheng Shi didn't even forget to seek confirmation from the god in question while acting; he could see that this 【Arrogance (Order)】 seemed to disdain exposing the fake act before Him, because He was arrogant enough.

The codex wilted. He hung behind the divine seat, shaking His pages. Even without any aura, He still said with contempt:

"And who are you? Are you worthy of discussing 【Order】?"

"I am naturally unworthy, which is why I am only worthy of standing here, admiring your 'heroic posture' while trapped."

Cheng Shi chuckled, not forgetting to continue playing Ultraman.

In his design, the 【Chaos】 Messenger Ultraman was a devout believer who did not know that 【Deception】 had long since replaced 【Chaos】. Only in this way could He, under the identity of a Messenger, assign Zhen Xin—one of the few who knew the truth—to do errands for 【Chaos】's approach to 【Nothingness】 without needing to avoid suspicion or provide too much explanation.

Everything was for the sake of intelligence, and the persona was the collector of that intelligence.

"I think soon, the Benefactor and 【Deception】," he said, giving Zhen Xin a meaningful look, "that is, your two Benefactors, will join forces to do something to 【Order】. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. My long-term layout is precisely to return the universe to disorder and enjoy chaos forever."

Hearing this, Zhen Xin's pupils shrank; she seemed to realize where the problem lay.

At the same time, Ke Ke Ta Luo, sensing Cheng Shi's intent, also lowered his head, silently exchanging a glance with the magician beside him. That shrewd look clearly said:

"Lord Ultraman does not know the secret of 【Deception】 and 【Chaos】."

Zhen Xin immediately understood, then looked at her nose and heart, swallowing the doubts already on her lips.

This scene was too interesting: a true god was present, yet held the lowest status; a Messenger was in charge, yet knew none of the secrets; two waiting mortals had instead become the people who understood the situation best among everyone present.

Zhen Xin did not know why 【Chaos】 would hide such a major event from His own Messenger, but once this matter involved her Benefactor 【Deception】, well...... it seemed there was no need to think too clearly. The God of Fun must be plotting against 【Chaos】 outside of 【Order】, which is why the current situation had been created.

Thus, the magician, believing she had seen through the situation, quickly entered a state of intelligence gathering and began recording everything.

She was curious why Lord Ultraman would bring Cheng Shi and her to visit 【Order】 in prison, but before she could ask, the clown on the side "thoughtfully" asked this question again.

No, he didn't just ask; he even stated his guess.

"Cheng Shi" frowned in confusion, looked at Ultraman, and spoke:

"My lord, what did you mean by bringing us here...... could it be that you want us to read through that history and fill in the past of the divine war between 【Order】 and 【Filthy Corruption】 for you?"

As he spoke, his expression became troubled.

"But my lord, divine secrets are not something two small players like us can touch. There may not even be projections of similar faith disputes in the history of the Star Fall Continent. I think this matter...... I'm afraid it won't be easy to do."

The amount of information in these words was too great. For a moment, let alone Zhen Xin, even Ultraman himself was stunned.

So that was what the God of Fun meant?

He wanted Him to read the relevant history and glimpse the truth of that past from some so-called projection of faith disputes?

What truth?

The truth of 【Order】's division, or the truth of 【Filthy Corruption】's Sea of Desire?

Not to mention that, according to Ke Ke Ta Luo, could it be that all faith disputes among the gods could find similar fragments in the history of the Star Fall Continent?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly realized.

That was it. After all, they were the condensation of faith themselves, a commentary by some 【Him】 on a past era. So rather than saying that the faith disputes in the current world were projections of their will, it would be better to say that they were the collection of faith disputes in the current world.

But thinking about it this way, the Historical School's path of seeing the big picture from the small was actually correct?

Thinking this, Lord Ultraman couldn't help but glance at Zhen Xin.

"Cheng Shi" also looked at Zhen Xin knowingly, and Zhen Xin...... was bewildered.

Although studying the gods through the history of the Star Fall Continent was one of the original intentions of the Historical School, after so many days, while enough history had been accumulated, the understanding of them was still very limited and one-sided.

Hearing this fresh theory of "faith dispute projections," she suddenly felt that her persistence had finally ushered in a glimmer of hope.

It was just that, was this thing real or fake?

If these words came from Lord Ultraman, she would naturally believe them without doubt, but if these words came from Cheng Shi...... that would depend on Lord Ultraman's reaction.

Besides, this clown was too bold. What did he mean by "this matter is not easy to do"?

Was he bargaining with a Messenger?

Bargaining so blatantly?

It seemed the clown's connections, no, divine connections, were far deeper than she had imagined.

Furthermore, why would a Messenger not obtain secrets from the gods or even from the gods themselves, but instead rely on the hands of players?

Did He realize He was being isolated by His Benefactor and was opening up a new path? Or was 【Chaos】's situation not as good as it appeared?

Zhen Xin's head was full of doubts. She looked at "Cheng Shi," then at Ultraman who was watching her. After pondering for a moment, she took the lead in stating her position:

"If my lord has need, I am willing to run about the world for you, searching for news, in addition to the necessary piety."

It worked!

Lord Ultraman smiled knowingly, thinking that this was the sentence He was waiting for.

"I have already felt the intentions of you two. Very good. Withdraw; I still have some things to attend to."

Cheng Shi raised his hand and waved the two before him away. Ke Ke Ta Luo saw the opportunity, surged with yellow mist, and sent himself and Zhen Xin out.

After sending Zhen Xin away, this devout servant of 【Nothingness】 returned to the main hall for the first time, and then he saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

He saw Lord Ultraman, whose behavior had just been considered "orderly," now stepping on the divine seat, advancing in a horse stance, towering over that codex in a posture of absolute condescension, and saying something eloquently:

"【Chaos】 is an impostor, 【Order】 is unsustainable. Your arrogance has failed your faith, causing the universe to lose true 【Order】."

"【Justice (Order)】 is rigid and conservative, 【Fear (Order)】 only wears the skin of a tiger. They not only failed to restrain the gods but instead allowed the gods to walk wantonly through the loopholes of 【Order】."

"Is this what you call 【Order】 being worthy of discussing order?"

"If so, then this 【Order】 is too ridiculous."

"Ha, hahahaha——"

"Today, I represent the billions of confused 【Order】 believers in history and reality, and the countless ordinary lives who are cautious and follow the rules, to judge you and ask their beloved 【Order】, are you......"
