[Appearance of the Ancient God: Gain the "Ancient God Aura". When the "Ancient God Aura" is released, any creature not from your camp within the range will undergo a round of Willpower identification when looking at you. If the Willpower identification fails, the target will lose 1D10/1D100 Sanity points. Sanity points cannot be restored or cured. When the sanity points drop to zero, the target will immediately go crazy (You know the truth of this world, and you yourself are also a part of this truth, but this does not mean that mortals can understand your existence. They worship you and fear you until they can no longer resist the secrets hidden behind the world)]

What the hell is this.

Seeing this reward, Fang Zheng was completely speechless, but fortunately, judging from what he saw now, this thing should be something similar to Dragon Might and Divine Might... Well, it's just that Fang Zheng was a little curious about what other mortals would think when they saw him if he released the ancient god's spiritual light.

You know, Fang Zheng felt it when he killed Nyarlathotep just now. He had to admit that the feeling was indeed uncomfortable. It was not just a visual impact, but even the sense of touch, smell, and hearing were all overturned. No wonder those who were assimilated by Cthulhu went crazy one by one.

The way things were going, if I didn't go crazy, the only way to escape this nightmare would be suicide.

Maybe we should find someone to give it a try when we have time?

Never mind, that's not the point. The point is...

this.

Fang Zheng looked at the slowly spinning cube in his hand. This was the cube that had just appeared in his hand. According to the system prompt, this was called "Ancient Memory 1"?

So there's more than one?

Anyway, let’s take a look at what’s inside.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng clenched the cube tightly. Soon, the cube broke in Fang Zheng's hand and merged into his body with a touch of golden light.

Then, everything went dark before Fang Zheng’s eyes.

A voice sounded in his mind.

“Perhaps, there is no chaos in the world at all.”

Along with this voice, the scene in front of Fang Zheng suddenly became clear. He opened his eyes and found that he seemed to be in a place similar to some kind of high-tech laboratory. Next to him stood a woman - Fang Zheng could tell at a glance that this woman was none other than the Goddess of Order.

However, the Goddess of Order seemed a little strange at the moment.

She opened her hands and looked at the star map that appeared in her hands, her expression looking a little confused and distorted.

"Maybe that's the truth. I took the wrong path. We all took the wrong path. There is no chaos in the world. Chaos is just another kind of order that we cannot understand. Order itself is eternal and unchanging, and chaos is because we cannot reach that end - the existence before the beginning of the universe, because it does not exist at all. We are just in it, just like other creations, we are just one of them."

Speaking of this, the tone of the Goddess of Order seemed a little excited.

"That's right. My compatriots and I were wrong. We are not the gods who created the world. We are just a part of it. Our responsibilities and missions are here, and our authority is also here. We cannot cross the boundary of chaos and go to a realm that we cannot understand at all."

As the Goddess of Order spoke, she turned her head and muttered to herself, looking at a glass jar behind her. Fang Zheng could see that in the glass jar, there was a dirty, huge, dark, twisting ball of flesh that was gradually expanding.

"Although it's a bit risky, it's not impossible. If it succeeds, at least it's an option. The boundary between order and chaos is not clear. Maybe the two are interdependent from the beginning. We shouldn't try to separate them..."

Having said this, the Goddess of Order lowered her head dejectedly.

"But there are also risks, that is..."

The memory ends here.

"Depend on!"

Fang Zheng grumbled in dissatisfaction and opened his eyes. This is still a TV drama. How about wanting to know what will happen next? Can’t he just wait for the next episode?

Although it was not complete, Fang Zheng also gained a lot of information from it. At least he could now be sure that this world was indeed the laboratory of the Goddess of Order. However, it was different from what Fang Zheng had expected. The Goddess of Order seemed to have changed her mind here. According to her theory, the so-called chaos was just another kind of order that we could not understand... Well, I have to admit that this theory seemed to make some sense.

It’s a pity that the Goddess of Order did not explain in detail, but she should not have spread this information. Otherwise, if the temple that believes in the Goddess of Order knew about it, it would cause an uproar.

But even the Order Clan has things they can't do... Well, that's normal. Fang Zheng can understand that. As a time dragon, he is the same. If Fang Zheng wants, he can also go to the timeline at the beginning of the Big Bang or after the destruction of the world.

But even he couldn't go back to the timeline before the Big Bang - because at that time, it didn't exist at all.

But this is impossible, that time point must exist, but Fang Zheng can't go there. It's like the NPC in the game can only move around the map in the game, no matter how big the map is, you can't leave the computer.

"I don't like thinking about philosophical questions."

Fang Zheng shook his head, patted his butt and stood up. He had no interest in questions like "Who am I, where do I come from, where am I going?" But as it stands now, if Fang Zheng wants to solve this long-standing problem left by the Order Clan, he might have to study philosophy - eight out of ten philosophy majors in universities end up jumping off buildings, and the remaining two fail to do so. Fang Zheng feels that sooner or later he will become one of them.

"Master? Are you okay?"

At this time, Nymph also came over and looked at Fang Zheng worriedly, while Fang Zheng reached out and touched Nymph's little head.

"It's okay, it's already been fixed. I just found some clues...Okay, how's the old man?"

"He's still lying there, his vital signs are stable."

"That's fine, let's take him back first."

Because Fang Zheng opened the seal, the earth-shattering battle did not attract the attention of the people in the camp, and the old man had a high fever after returning. Under such circumstances, it was obviously impossible to continue digging. So the expedition team had to return home... Well, for the second time.

Fang Zheng didn't care about this. After all, he had gotten what he was supposed to get. Although Professor Allen apologized and made amends to him, Fang Zheng was generous enough not to pursue the matter (it wasn't his money anyway).

On the plane back to the city, Fang Zheng also discussed this issue with Nymph, however, the little angel had a completely different opinion.

"Wow... If I were to say so, Master, I'm afraid we will never understand Chaos."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because our understanding is based on our order and knowledge, we cannot change this foundation."

Nymph shook her head slightly.

"I am an omnipotent angel, and I can only consider the problem from this perspective. Of course, I can understand some human behaviors, but this does not mean that I really understand why they do this. For example, they are so keen on reproduction, but they are always focused on avoiding pregnancy..."

"Ahem, you better not worry about this issue."

Fang Zheng coughed a few times hurriedly and changed the subject, but then he frowned.

"So what you mean is that we will never be able to understand and master the rules over there?"

"Yes, I think so, because my memory and thinking are built on this basis. If you, Master, want me to think like Miss Asuna or Miss Filo, you will need to reformat my underlying code and way of thinking and recompile it. But even so, due to various random uncertainties, I cannot guarantee that even if I merge with the same way of thinking, I can perform the same actions as the original."

“That’s true…”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng sighed, turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window. As Nymph said, no matter how they understood, the basis of their thinking was based on everything they had learned so far. If they abandoned all these foundations, then they would be no different from those lunatics in this world who had gone insane because of facing the ancient gods.

If this is the case, then the conflict between order and chaos is probably truly unsolvable.

Forget it, this is not something I need to consider.

Fang Zheng shook his head. Perhaps the Order Clan had the idea of ​​destroying Chaos, but for Fang Zheng, he only hoped to protect himself. If possible, Fang Zheng even wanted to turn this galaxy into a turtle shell and stay here forever, so that he wouldn't be able to care about the chaos outside.

It’s helpless and a pity that these are just dreams.

Although there are still many problems that have not been solved, for Fang Zheng, at least he has found a clue - it is obvious that this ancient memory is about the secret of the Goddess of Order in this world, and the ones who possess the ancient memory, besides Nyarlathotep, should be Yog-Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath, who are also the three pillars of the gods...

In other words, no matter what, we have to find these two guys first.

As for Azathoth...

Recalling the huge piece of black meat that kept squirming in the goddess' laboratory in his previous memory, Fang Zheng also sighed.

Forget it, we’ll see what happens when the time comes.
