With the fall of Ancris, the thirteen powers were once again scattered across the world.
As King's Landing reclaimed its power, it also absorbed Ancris's remnant soul into the Emperor's Banner.
"What am I doing..."
Ancris stood on the Emperor's Banner, staring blankly at the high-hanging golden wheel of merit. Wasn't he dead? Where was this place?
Where do people go after they die?
Ancris fell silent.
In a daze, he remembered that before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have seen the God of Order.
The God of Order did not blame him for his failure.
You did a great job...
That sentence was still echoing in Ancris's mind.
He was a failure, not only letting down the people of the City of Order, but also failing the cultivation of the God of Order.
For a moment, even the mighty deity was overcome with grief and wept uncontrollably.
"Not a bro? Go outside and blow it up! What are you crying about here? Wait, why do you look so familiar?"
A man who had just been resurrected in the Emperor's Banner looked at the sobbing Ancris and felt something was wrong.
This person looks just like that god who just died outside!
Goodness, it's been collected into the Emperor's Banner?
Ancris was startled when he heard someone speak. He looked up and saw a man who looked somewhat familiar.
This person... seems to be one of the Withered Church's army?
Before entering the Human Emperor Banner, he was still a god, so he naturally recognized the other party. Therefore, he was dumbfounded!
Why are the people from the Withered Church here too?
So this is really where people go after they die?
Just as Ancris was puzzled, several more figures were resurrected within the Emperor's Banner and walked over upon seeing him.
"Hey, isn't that the god who just died outside? He looks pretty pathetic, no, he's so weak!"
"Without a cultivation system, one relies entirely on divine blessings and the power of authority. Without these two things, one becomes useless."
"Friend, don't be afraid. Although you are weak now, once you enter the Human Emperor Banner, we are all one family."
Several people surrounded Ancris, chatting away. In fact, they all agreed with Ancris's ideas.
If they had lived under a Star God who was willing to maintain order and create a nation of equality for all, they would probably have been quite happy.
Unfortunately, we have different stances.
Between them and Ancris, there can only be one winner, and that winner can only be them.
Because the woman outside is the senior sister of the owner of this Human Emperor Banner.
But the past is the past, and the present is the present. Ancris entered the Emperor's Banner and was not refined, so from now on they are family.
"Are you familiar with this place?"
Ancris realized that this was his first time here, but these people seemed to be quite used to it.
"Of course, this is the Human Emperor Banner, the young master's supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao. We are all born from the Human Emperor Banner."
"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be the same in the future. Oh well, I'm not talking to you anymore. The City of Order hasn't been completely destroyed yet, I'm going out now."
"Dude, don't underestimate yourself. You're right. At the very least, I admire your ideals."
"Are you out of your mind? How dare you say such a thing? What about our leader?"
"Don't let my blood splatter on me when I die."
"..."
Ancris watched the group leave the Emperor's Banner and fell silent.
So, what exactly is the Emperor's Banner?
Just as he was wondering, a familiar figure walked over.
It was the god of order in his heart—King's Landing!
Upon seeing this, Ancris immediately knelt before King's Landing, filled with remorse, and said, "My lord, I have failed your trust."
"Um... I guess so."
Seeing this, Junlin nodded. Ancris lost too decisively, without any passion. He didn't even see Bai Xihe make a move.
Hmm... I should have given him more authority.
However, to prevent Ancris from becoming discouraged, he added, "But you've done very well, haven't you?"
Ancris paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head. "No, I failed to preserve the City of Order, nor did I spread the light of order... I am a complete failure."
"Yes."
Ancris: "..."
To be honest, he actually wanted some comfort, but he didn't expect Junlin to be so serious.
But that makes sense; the god of order should act this way.
Junlin stood before Ancris and slowly spoke, “But failure is not terrible, is it? As long as we hold fast to our beliefs, order will never perish.”
"Your failure is understandable. The End Continent has reached its end. Order has withered, life is desolate, gods are about to fall, and the End Continent will perish. But at the same time, it will also usher in a new life."
"..."
Ancris listened to King's words without saying a word, because he did not understand.
Or perhaps, not understanding is the right thing to do.
So he didn't ask, he just listened quietly.
"Think carefully and understand the reasons for your failure. If in the near future you can still adhere to your beliefs and maintain your faith in order, I will once again give you the authority and responsibility to promote order."
As soon as he finished speaking, Junlin disappeared from Ancris's sight.
Meanwhile, no one appeared before Ancris anymore, for he was being held alone in a corner of the Emperor's Banner in King's Landing.
After settling things with Ancris, Junlin's consciousness returned to the outside world.
The city of order has once again descended into chaos, filled with the flames of war and the smoke of battle.
Bai Xihe did not personally join the battle.
She just watched silently.
The City of Order is the last human city on the End Continent, though it may not necessarily be the last.
After all, they hadn't actually traveled all over the entire End Continent.
It cannot be guaranteed that no new cities will be built, but this is indeed the end, the end of the Church of Wither.
The reason she placed the City of Order last is because it was the only place in this world where she felt that relationships between people didn't actually have to be so complicated.
Unfortunately, the City of Order today is no longer the Radiant Moon City it once was.
This is just a city where everyone is blind and forced to obey the rules.
She had no heart to care about right and wrong anymore... She missed the Wuyang Sect and her master.
Bai Xihe propped her chin on one hand; she hadn't even seen Jun Lin in a long time.
Of course, it's not that I miss them, it's just that I feel King's Landing is too irresponsible.
Even though she wasn't in danger, can't you come and visit your good senior sister regularly?
Once the City of Order is destroyed, she'll summon King's Landing and give it a good scolding.
With these thoughts in mind, Bai Xihe grasped the compass of destiny in his hand.
This thing is actually quite useful; it triggers automatically when it encounters something good, and it helped her find quite a few treasures.
