After destroying the Chaos Knights led by Chaos Knight, the subsequent sweep of the Twilight Frontier temporarily entered a stable period.

Fang Zheng himself also has several very important questions that he wants answers to.

For example...what exactly is Chaos Knight's plan, and what is the gem in his body?

What is that big hand that appears at the end, and why must we get this gem?

Fang Zheng was also quite puzzled and even wary of this. But for him, eliminating the threat in front of him was far more important than finding the cause. He was not like the protagonists of many RPG games, who had to solve puzzles while fighting monsters and leveling up. By the time you figured out what the boss wanted to do, he had almost succeeded... This kind of routine plot was what Fang Zheng was most reluctant to accept.

Isn't it the same to first kill the threat with one blow and then come back to find the cause?

Without the threat of the Chaos Knights, the Tiandao Palace, the Holy Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom gradually got back on track in dealing with the Twilight Border. It was simple, since the North Pole was completely covered by Chaos, so Fang Zheng didn't need to worry about anything. When facing Chaos Monsters, the first thing they did was to launch a low-orbit bombardment, and then the Zerg would start to occupy the land.

But this does not mean that the Paladins of the Holy Kingdom and the Mages of the Magic Kingdom have nothing to do. What they need to do is to carefully check every inch of occupied land and look for possible hiding places of Chaos to prevent them from hiding somewhere and planning a comeback.

Moreover, although the boss was killed, there are still some younger brothers in the Chaos Knights. Although no one has counted the exact number of Chaos Knights, the records of the Temple showed that there were a total of 183 Holy Spirit Knights who betrayed the order. Fang Zheng killed the Chaos Demon King, the leader of the Knights, and 87 Chaos brothers, but the rest are still missing. What the Holy Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom need to do is to deal with these small fry - if the boss can't be defeated, it would be really embarrassing if they can't even beat the small fry.

Not only that, after killing the Chaos Lord and that strange foggy hand, the amount of chaos erosion in the entire Arctic has dropped by nearly half. The intensity of the attacks and the frequency of rebirth of those chaos monsters have weakened. In this case, it's time to let the younger brothers come up and level up.

We can’t always rely on Tiandao Palace to save the world.

Of course, if they are willing to let the Zerg save the world, Fang Zheng has no objection.

After making sure that the problem at the Dusk Border had been solved and that all that was left was to push forward smoothly, Fang Zheng immediately headed to the location of the Goddess of Order in the Western Continent.

What surprised Fang Zheng was that the performance of the Goddesses of Order this time was beyond his expectations.

"You're here at last!"

Seeing Fang Zheng coming in, the Goddess of Order looked as if she was impatiently waiting for the college entrance examination results to be released. She glared at them and started shouting.

"What's going on out there? Our sensors detected an energy burst across the Twilight Frontier... What have you done?"

"I did do something..."

Seeing the Goddess of Order so excited, Fang Zheng hurriedly told her what happened at the Twilight Border. Finally, Fang Zheng reached into his pocket and took out the crystal.

"Finally, what I saw from that guy's body was this... Do you know what this is?"

"This is……"

Seeing the crystal in Fang Zheng's hand, the Goddess of Order was stunned for a moment, then she frowned with a serious look.

"Bring it here and show it to me!"

"no problem."

Fang Zheng simply handed the crystal to the Goddess of Order, and the Goddess of Order looked at it over and over again, muttering to herself.

"What do you think?"

"That's it..."

“That’s impossible…”

"how so……?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"But this doesn't make sense..."

After talking to herself for a while, the Goddess of Order closed her eyes, then opened them again and looked at Fang Zheng seriously.

"You said that after this thing appeared, a big hand suddenly appeared and tried to snatch the crystal away? Do you have any records or footage of that time? And any data?"

"certainly."

Seeing the Goddess of Order so serious, Fang Zheng immediately opened his personal terminal and displayed the data at that time in front of the Goddess of Order. The Goddess of Order stared at the screen, watching the arm made of thick smoke appear, collide with the Star Forging Dragon King, and then disappear. Then she reached out and opened the data record below, scanning the data inside. Then the Goddess of Order frowned and remained silent.

"What's wrong? What's the problem?"

"Well... there is a problem."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the Goddess of Order sighed and then spoke.

"First, let me answer your questions one by one. This..."

As she spoke, the Goddess of Order raised the crystal in her hand.

"It's called the Key of the Starry Sky."

"It sounds quite impressive. What does it do?"

"Do you remember what I told you before, how the Goddess of Order hid this planet?"

"Hmm... I remember you said that the Goddess of Order set up an order barrier on this planet, and also set up a protective barrier in the outer galaxies with this planet as the core?"

"That's right."

The goddess of order nodded.

"In order to protect this planet, the Goddess of Order established two internal and external defense systems. You have already seen the internal defense system, which is the device that generates the order barrier. The external defense system is a defense isolation system deployed on several planets in the entire galaxy with this planet as the core. If this planet is regarded as the imperial palace, then the isolation system of the outer galaxy is equivalent to the border wall of a country. And this thing..."

Having said that, the Goddess of Order patted the crystal in her hand.

"It is the key to those 'border walls'. Because those border planets and isolation systems are closed in space, it is impossible to enter without this key."

"Why didn't the goddess keep such an important thing close to her? How did it end up in Chaos Knight's hands?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also took a breath of cold air. He finally understood now. It turned out that this Chaos Knight wanted to be like Wu Sangui and open the Shanhai Pass...

Although Fang Zheng felt that it would be difficult for Chaos Knight, who couldn't even leave the atmosphere, to reach Shanhaiguan, but... this was too dangerous!

"The goddess doesn't need to be watched closely, because she has already destroyed the Star Key."

However, the Goddess of Order gave Fang Zheng an answer that was beyond his expectations.

"Ruined?"

"Yes, after arriving on this planet, the goddess decisively destroyed the Star Key."

"So, where did this thing come from?"

Fang Zheng couldn't help but point to the Star Key in the Goddess of Order's hand.

"Could it be that the goddess left a few spare keys?"

"it's out of the question."

The Goddess of Order shook her head, then she was silent for a moment, and then changed to another face wearing glasses, full of intellect and scholarship.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you have fought against the Chaos Knights before, so you should know something about the origins of the Chaos Knights."

"Probably. I understand it a little bit, so what?"

"To put it simply, the Chaos Knights are cultists corrupted by the power of Chaos. Do you agree with that?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng shrugged, but the Goddess of Order looked more worried.

"In fact, the original goddess of order has always been worried about one thing..."

"What's up?"

"Chaos can corrode any creature in this world, including the soul. Therefore, she has always been worried about whether her compatriots have also been corroded by chaos."

"...Wait, what you mean is..."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's body trembled suddenly.

"You mean that even the most advanced civilization in the starry sky had people corrupted by Chaos and turned into running dogs of Chaos? Just like Chaos Knights and those cultists?"

"This is not surprising. Moreover, the Starry Sky Key in front of me also proves my judgment."

The Goddess of Order looked at the crystal in front of her with a frown on her face.

"According to our memories, the original Goddess of Order should have completely destroyed the Star Key, but now, the Star Key has been recast. I have said before, Mr. Fang Zheng, that only those who possess the Mark of Order can use the technology and civilization of the Goddess of Order. If this Star Key was not recast by you, Mr. Fang Zheng, then it must have been recast by another one that possesses the Mark of Order..."

"Are you saying that a tribe of the Goddess of Order, who was corrupted by Chaos, has come to this planet?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng once again thought of the huge hand that covered the sky and the sun, and a cold sweat broke out in his hands.

Oh my god, I’ll start pumping stones when I get back!

"Fortunately, that is not the case."

However, the next words of the Goddess of Order finally made Fang Zheng feel relieved.

"According to the data you detected earlier, the enemy only projected a part of itself into this world through the erosion of chaos. Its main body is still far away from our planet, but... after this battle, the enemy may choose to attack us head-on..."

"This is really a problem..."

Hearing the answer from the Goddess of Order, Fang Zheng also frowned.

"What should we do next?"

"Repair the outer defenses and accumulate as much strength as possible."

The Goddess of Order shook her head.

"I can't give you any better advice. After all, the original goddess of order herself doesn't know what her compatriots will become after being corrupted by chaos. However, I can give you a little hint."

"hint?"

"Yes, the Goddess of Order is considered to be... the most invincible among her clan."

“…This is not good news.”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly. Well, the Goddess of Order was already very powerful, but now she told him that the original Goddess of Order was just a weakling in their clan?

What if Chaos corrupts a being much stronger than the Goddess of Order...

Oh my god, I should just go back and start pumping stones! !

I hope that this time, I can draw someone stronger than the Star-Forging Dragon King!
