Today's birth was a bit too "sensible".
Saying "sensible" might be a bit disrespectful; it would be more accurate to say "pragmatic."
Before the topic of "folly" even began, He brandished the "divine pillar," suppressing His rage, and said in a deep voice:
"My voting rights—can be given to you—"
But my authority—”
"Hu Xuan".
At that moment, Cheng Shi almost guessed what [Birth] was thinking, and replied with a smile, "I will not plunder your authority, nor will I interfere with your divine throne, because the Sage is my friend."
She deserves all of this, provided she has it all.
[Birth] is not surprised by Cheng Shi's statement. A drama in which the whole world is silently moving towards [nothingness] is quietly unfolding. Each [He] is looking for his own way out, and [Birth] is undoubtedly the most dignified one so far.
He knew that as long as His child could obtain everything on the day of eternity, that would be enough.
[Divine Pillar] nodded and silently relinquished its voting rights.
The atmosphere of the Convention (Order) grew increasingly chaotic, yet it could not be stopped.
Everyone thought that as the oldest and most "emotional" of [Life], He might give the vote to [Death], the only sibling god present who was related to the old gods. However, He unexpectedly gave the vote to the new sibling god, [Prosperity].
The reason is simple: while death is closer to nothingness than prosperity, prosperity is closer to the predetermined than death.
[Birth] is very wise. He knows that the will of [Nothingness] will prevails throughout the [Nothingness] era and must be approached. But He also knows that what is predetermined may be the key to the future.
For [birth] to continue eternally, it must move closer to the established order while still being close to [nothingness].
Thus, Cheng Shi obtained his 9th vote.
This vote was crucial, meaning that from now on, it would be useless even if the gods of the Fear faction disagreed with his proposal.
The "established faction" has already taken hostage!
With these nine votes in hand—[Birth], [Prosperity], [Defilement], [Rottenness], [Order], [Truth], [War], [Chaos], and [Memory]—the Covenant of the Gods can no longer be called the Covenant of the Gods; it should be called the Cheng Shi Sovereign Council.
The Convention has lost its original meaning and has become a tool for fooling people.
The moment Cheng Shi grasped this tool, he made a suggestion that astonished all the gods:
"【nothingness】......
Having been absent for so long, hiding and concealing himself at the end of an era, failing to fulfill his exemplary duty, as a practitioner of "Nothingness" and the sole believer of the two masters of "Nothingness," I believe that "Nothingness" has an obligation to guide the universe toward its true end.
Therefore, I propose that the voting rights of [Nothingness] be revoked and distributed among the gods.
In any issue, the majority vote represents the will of the times. [Negativity] conforms to the times and should automatically agree, thus accumulating two votes for it.
If the "nothingness" returns, we will then discuss whether the corresponding voting rights should be returned.
Gentlemen, who agrees and who disagrees?
"......"
"......"
"......"
Nine voted in favor, 0 voted against, and the rest abstained.
In fact, whether or not a vote is abstaining is meaningless. When the number of votes in favor reaches 9, the proposal is automatically passed and even receives 2 more votes.
The entire starry sky fell silent.
Who would have thought that the first thing the foolish one did after seizing power was to take away [Void]'s right to speak at the Pantheon meeting!
In this way, even if [Deception] returns from the real universe, all its subsequent operations in the universe must be approved by Deception; otherwise, it may be unable to carry out any of its plans.
Cheng Shi's ambition to promote his friend to a higher position, which he had gone to great lengths to do, was finally revealed to the public at this moment!
He was scared!
He was really scared.
He feared that the despair of a false ending would come again, and that he would still be powerless to fight against everything.
From the moment the false ending of the war decree shattered his established identity, Cheng Shi understood one thing: in this world, only the Convention could save him.
This is also the driving force behind his step-by-step, vote-by-vote victory at the Covenant of the Gods!
If [Deception] returns and finds the answer for the world, no problem, Cheng Shi will naturally guide the gods to unanimously approve it, and quickly reach the ending.
But if [fraud] were to imitate a false ending and stage another grand deception... sorry, your lies are worthless in the face of the [Convention].
I could even take everything from you without your consent, using my voting power.
Ironically, fraud must also vote in favor of it, because it is the will of the times, no, the will of foolishness.
"......"
[Death] fell silent. He had long anticipated this day, but he hadn't expected it to come so quickly, even faster than He had anticipated.
The face of the enormous skull showed neither anger nor relief; it was difficult to describe His feelings. In short, He no longer experienced the joy and happiness of receiving offerings.
Cheng used a sacrificial ceremony to "buy" Him, but also took away the two most important votes of the Fear faction.
The good news is that at least His vote, along with that of [Silence] and [Time], has not been taken away.
The bad news is that their voting power is also useless now.
Having been protected by the Fear faction throughout the entire game, the predetermined one finally stood "above" the gods at the end of the era, becoming the one who could protect himself.
Yes, he is not even a god, but he can control the thrones and authority of sixteen true gods.
The most terrifying thing is that even though his friends became gods and had supreme authority over the universe, they were still willing to follow the arrangements of a mortal.
