Today will surely be a day that will be recorded in the annals of history.
Five figures stood silently in the boundless void.
Cheng Shi stood at the very front, his deep gaze as unfathomable as the void itself, staring straight into the depths of nothingness.
He pondered for a long time, remained silent for a long time, sighed for a long time, and finally spoke:
"Let's begin."
The first person standing on his left behind him was Li Jingming. He nodded, took out the container that was shrouded in a deep blue glow and filled with countless memories, looked up at the sky, and said to the void:
“I, the practitioner of the will of [Memory], the agent of the [Memory] archive, the one who will be remembered in this world, Li Jingming, request to succeed the authority of the departed deity [Memory] under the witness of the [Covenant].
The Dragon King's voice was very soft, so soft that only a few people around him could barely hear it.
But his voice was unusually heavy, so heavy that the entire void seemed to be torn down like a curtain, replaced by dazzling stars.
Justice (order) has arrived!
The scales, with their shimmering light, still shone brightly, as if the loneliness of the universe had nothing to do with them.
The Convention operates as usual and follows the rules, but at this moment, there are not many deities who can attend and witness this moment.
The divine pillar of birth descended, but it was no longer as impatient as before. It simply watched everything under the starry sky in silence.
[Foolish] He's still the same as always, occasionally letting out a disdainful utterance.
Apart from these two, almost everything else is Cheng Shi's source of confidence.
[Death] arrived as promised. Gao stood behind Cheng Shi. Although there was no danger around, He placed the scythe, which was mixed with countless divine qualities, before the gods.
Silence also came, watching quietly from a distance.
There's still no time...
The remaining two, Honglin and Zhenxin, sat on chairs formed from chaotic yellow mist, becoming the most interested spectators at the event.
As for what comes from God, even less.
Apart from Herrobes cautiously revealing himself, no one else dared to approach the area.
They weren't stupid; they were afraid of being targeted.
[Justice (Order)] looked down at Li Jingming, seemingly having known all along that this day would eventually come. [Memory]'s choice was in accordance with the rules, and naturally, He had no right to refuse.
Then a ray of holy light descended upon the Dragon King's head, and the next moment, countless memories of worlds that did not belong to him flashed through Li Jingming's eyes.
The concept of "existence" has been completed once again, and now it is the turn of this traveler, who will be remembered by the world, to collect treasures for the universe.
Li Jingming felt an indescribable power of memory flowing through his body. He smiled slightly and the first thing he did was to store this scene in his collection.
"alternately"?
No, perhaps "Rectification of Names" would be more appropriate.
Next up is Qin Xin.
In fact, Qin Xin's identity no longer needed any recognition; he already possessed the authority of [War]. But Cheng Shi wanted more than that; at the very least, he wanted to hold the voting power of [War] in his own hands.
This successor to the [War] took out the vessel Cheng Shi had given him, flames erupting from his left eye and blood spreading from his right. His entire body radiated power, and he solemnly addressed the [Justice (Order)] hanging high in the void:
"I, Qin Xin, the sole representative of [War] in this era, apply to the [Convention] to succeed the divine name of [War]!"
Upon hearing those words, Cheng Shi suddenly felt a little dazed.
This exact wording seemed to pull him back to that previous sham ending, when Qin Xin did the same, shouting "Successor of the divine name," and the next second promoted himself to the position of Commander.
He risked everything to prevent the Outer God from taking him away, even passing on the flames of war.
And now, he has taken up the flames of war once again...
The flames shouldn't go out this time, right?
Cheng Shi turned slightly to look at Qin Xin behind him, just as a ray of holy light poured down, igniting Qin Xin's beard and hair.
Sparks flew again from this towering man, just like his indomitable spirit, doing everything in his power to illuminate the omnipresent darkness of the world.
The warmth of the flames remains, and [Order] returns with a hum.
Realizing it was his turn, Li Wufang had just taken out the container and hadn't even had a chance to speak when [Justice (Order)], as if by inertia, directly poured a ray of holy light onto the investigator's head.
This scene, which violated the rules of the [Covenant], startled all the gods present, but soon, [Justice (Order)] explained in a low voice:
"Now that things have come to this, we both know that the so-called 'request for the Convention to witness' is nothing but empty talk."
Even if I don't certify it now, who will object at the next meeting of the Covenant of the Gods?
"You, or you?"
The Scales of Light looked at [Birth], then at [Foolishness], and sighed deeply:
"In that case, let's end this quickly."
Deliberately creating the appearance of a new god's ascension to the throne is of no benefit to the world.
At least here, you can't extend the span of time.
Never before has justice (order) spoken so much about things unrelated to the convention, even streamlining procedures and bypassing necessary steps to legitimize the new order.
If the recipient were another god, it would be one thing, but Li Wufang inherited [Order].
This makes it seem as if justice (order) has suddenly become unjust and has begun to favor itself in pursuit of some benefit for the sake of order.
However, Cheng Shi did not think so. He knew that Justice (Order) had rejected Li Wufang's succession. Before obtaining the container, Justice (Order) did not give them any chance.
