[Received Hidden Achievement 7/?]
[User received the special fixed title "Appearance of the Ancient God"]
[User received "Primordial Memory 1"]
[Appearance of the Ancient God: Receive "Aura of the Ancient God". When the "Aura of the Ancient God" is released, any creature not belonging to the same faction within the range will undergo a round of willpower appraisal when they look at you. If the willpower appraisal fails, you will lose 1D10/1D100 Intelligence. Intelligence cannot be recovered or healed. When the intelligence reaches zero, the target will immediately go mad. (You have learned the truth of this world, and you are a part of this truth. But this does not mean that mortals can understand your existence. They worship and revere you until they can no longer resist the secrets hidden behind the world)]
[What the hell is this?]
Fangzheng was completely speechless when he saw this reward. Fortunately, this thing should be something similar to [Dragon's Might] and [God's Might] …. But Fangzheng was really curious. If he released the "Aura of the Ancient God", what would the other mortals think of him?
When he killed Nyarlathotep just now, Fangzheng had experienced it for himself. He had to admit that it was not a good feeling. Not only was it a visual impact, but even his sense of touch, smell, and hearing were all subverted. No wonder those who had been assimilated by Cthulhu all went mad.
According to this development, if he didn't go crazy, he would have to commit suicide to get rid of this nightmare.
Maybe I should find someone to try it on when I have the time?
Forget it, that's not the point. The point is ….
This.
Fangzheng looked at the slowly rotating cube in his hand. According to the system notification, this was called "Primordial Memory 1"?
Does that mean there's more than one?
Anyway, let's see what's inside first.
With this in mind, Fangzheng clenched the cube tightly. Soon, the cube cracked in Fangzheng's hand and fused into his body with a golden glow.
Then, Fangzheng's vision turned dark.
A voice rang in his mind.
"Perhaps, there is no Chaos in this world."
Along with this voice, the scene in front of Fangzheng suddenly became clear. He opened his eyes and found that he seemed to be in some kind of high-tech laboratory, and beside him stood a woman. Fangzheng 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 right now.
She opened her hand and looked at the star map that appeared in her hand with a confused and twisted expression.
"Maybe that's the truth. I'm on the wrong path. We're all on the wrong path. There is no Chaos in the world. Chaos is just another kind of order that we cannot understand. Order itself is immutable, and Chaos because we cannot reach that end, that which existed before the beginning of the universe, because it does not exist. We are just part of it, just like the other creations. We are just a part of it. "
At this point, the Goddess of Order's tone was a little agitated.
"That's right. My compatriots and I are all wrong. We are not the gods who created the world. We are just a part of it. Our duty and mission are here, and so is our authority. We cannot cross the boundary of Chaos and go to a realm that we cannot understand."
As she spoke, the Goddess of Order muttered to herself and turned her head to look at a glass jar behind her. Fangzheng could see that in the glass jar, there was a dirty, huge, pitch-black, and constantly twisting meatball that was gradually expanding.
"Although it's a little risky, it's not impossible. If we can succeed, at least it's an option. The boundary between Order and Chaos is not clear. Perhaps the two were interdependent from the beginning, so we shouldn't try to separate them …. "
At this point, the Goddess of Order lowered her head dejectedly.
"But there are also risks in this, and that is …."
The memory ended here.
"F * ck!"
Fangzheng grumbled in dissatisfaction and opened his eyes. Is this a fucking TV drama? Do you want to know what will happen next? Wait for the next episode?
Although it was not complete, Fangzheng still obtained a lot of information from it. At least, he could now confirm that this world was indeed the Goddess of Order's laboratory. But unlike what Fangzheng 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, he had to admit that this theory did sound a little reasonable.
It was a pity that the Goddess of Order did not explain in detail, but this information shouldn't have been leaked out. Otherwise, if the Holy Cathedral, which believed in the Goddess of Order, found out about it, the sky would be turned upside down.
But there were things that even the Order race couldn't do …. Well, that's normal. Fangzheng understood. As a Time Dragon, Fangzheng was the same. If he wanted to, he could also go to the beginning of the Big Bang or the timeline after the destruction of the world.
But even he couldn't go to the timeline before the Big Bang — because that time didn't exist at all.
But that was impossible. That point of time must exist, but Fangzheng couldn't go there. It was just like how NPCs in games could only circle around the map in the game. No matter how big the map was, you couldn't get out of the computer.
"I don't like to think about philosophical questions."
Fangzheng shook his head, dusted his butt, and stood up. He had no interest in questions like "who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going". But for now, in order to solve this long-standing problem left behind by the Order race, Fangzheng might have to study philosophy. Eight out of ten philosophy majors in universities had committed suicide, and the remaining two had failed to do so. Fangzheng felt that he would become one of them sooner or later.
"Master? Are you okay? "
At this time, Nimf also came over and looked at Fangzheng worriedly. Fangzheng reached out his hand and stroked Nimf's little head.
"I'm fine. It's done. We just found some clues …. Alright, how's the old man?"
"He's still lying there. His vital signs are stable."
"That's good. Let's bring him back first."
As Fangzheng had removed the Seal of Extinction, the earth-shattering battle did not garner the attention of the people in the campsite. As for the elder, he had a high fever after he returned. Under such circumstances, it was clearly impossible to continue digging. In the end, the expedition team had no choice but to return …. Well, this was the second time.
Fangzheng didn't mind this. After all, he had obtained what he wanted. Although Professor Aaron apologized to him and gave him compensation, Fangzheng magnanimously didn't pursue the matter (it wasn't his money anyway).
On the plane back to the city, Fangzheng discussed this problem with Nimf. However, the little angel had a completely different opinion.
"Hmm …. If you ask me, Master, I'm afraid we'll never understand Chaos."
"Oh? Why is that? "
"Because our understanding is based on our Order and knowledge. We can't change this foundation."
Nimf shook her head slightly.
"I'm an Almighty Angel. I can only think from this perspective. Of course, I can understand some human behaviors, but that doesn't mean I really understand why they do what they do. For example, they're so passionate about reproduction, but they're always focused on avoiding pregnancy …. "
"Ahem, you don't have to worry about that."
Fangzheng hurriedly coughed a few times to change the topic. But then, he frowned.
"So you're saying that we'll never understand and master the rules of the other side?"
"Yes, I think so. That's the basis of my memory and thinking. If you want me to think like Miss Asuna or Miss Philo, you'll need to reformat my underlying code and thinking and compile it again. But even so, due to various random and uncertain characteristics, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to do the same thing even if I fuse with the same thinking method. "
"That's true …."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng let out a long sigh. He turned around and looked at the sky outside the window. Just as Nimf said, no matter how they understood, the basis of their thinking was based on everything they had learned so far. If they were to abandon this foundation, they would be no different from the lunatics in this world who had lost their minds after facing the Ancient Gods.
If that was the case, the conflict between Order and Chaos would probably be unsolvable.
Forget it, this isn't a problem I need to worry about.
Fangzheng shook his head. Perhaps the Order race had such thoughts, but for Fangzheng, he only hoped to protect himself. If possible, Fangzheng even wanted to turn this star system into a turtle shell and stay there until the end of time. He wouldn't be able to do anything even if the outside world turned upside down.
What a pity, it's just a dream.
Although there were still many unresolved problems, Fangzheng had at least found some clues. Obviously, this ancient memory was related to the secret of the Goddess of Order in this world. Apart from Nyarlathotep, the only ones who possessed the ancient memory were Yugsothoth and Shub-Nicholas, who were also part of the Three Pillar Gods ….
In other words, no matter what, he had to find those two first.
As for Azathos ….
Fangzheng sighed as he recalled the wriggling chunk of black meat in the Goddess' laboratory.
Forget it, I'll just wait and see.
