Under the guidance of the Starcup Knight, Fangzheng entered the church with Fina by his side. She was the one who introduced Fangzheng, so she naturally had to bear the responsibility.
The church of the Seven Luminaries Church was naturally magnificent, and it was considered quite good in terms of secular architecture. But of course, Fangzheng wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. He strolled into the church hall and stopped in front of an old man.
"This is His Majesty the Fawang."
Searnate bowed respectfully to the old man, then turned to the side and introduced the old man to Fangzheng. Fangzheng looked at the old man and nodded.
"Hello."
"Mr. Fangzheng, you're being too rude."
Looking at Fangzheng's casual etiquette, Fina couldn't help but tug at his sleeve. However, the old man just laughed.
"It's fine. He's not a believer, but even so, I've heard of your deeds. Mr. Fangzheng, Starlight Technology has provided a lot of support to the welfare facilities of the Seven Luminaries Church. I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"It's nothing. It's nothing. In fact, the reason I'm here this time …"
With that said, Fangzheng paused for a moment before sweeping his surroundings.
"I have a favor to ask."
"Oh? What is it? "
"It's simple."
Facing the old man's question, Fangzheng smiled.
"I want to meet the Goddess of Emptiness, Edith."
As soon as he said that, the hall fell into a dead silence. Fina covered her mouth in surprise, while the Starcup Knight looked at Fangzheng in astonishment. Only the old Fawang remained silent and looked at Fangzheng quietly.
"Why …"
"It's simple. Because of this."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised his right hand. Along with his movement, the Mark of Order on the back of Fangzheng's right hand began to shine brightly.
At the same time, as though resonating with it, the colorful glass windows in the hall also began to shine. Not only that, but the entire hall also began to tremble.
The clouds parted, and golden sunlight descended from the sky, enveloping the Holy City.
"Clang … Clang …"
The heavy sound of a bell reverberated throughout the Holy City. For a moment, everyone walked onto the street in shock, looking at this unbelievable scene in astonishment.
"Mr. Fangzheng, what are you doing?"
At this time, Fina was frightened. She didn't know what Fangzheng was doing, but it was obviously not right!
However, what happened next was even more shocking.
At the same time, the statue in the center of the hall suddenly moved to the side. Then, a door made of metal appeared in front of everyone. Even the old Guardian King revealed a look of surprise when he saw this. However, before he could say anything, the door had already opened slowly, revealing the light and stairs inside.
"… It seems that the Goddess has made her decision."
The old Dharmaraja was silent for a moment, then he looked at Fangzheng again and bowed respectfully.
"Please come with me."
Having said that, the old Dharmaraja turned and walked through the door, and the Star Cup Knight followed closely behind. Fangzheng shrugged and followed. Only Fina was still standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Let's go together."
Perhaps sensing Fina's surprise, Fangzheng waved at her.
"It's not a big deal anyway."
"…"
If it's not a big deal, why do you want to see the Goddess!!!
Although Fina really wanted to complain, she also hesitated when she saw Fangzheng turn around and walk forward. In the end, as a believer of the Seven Luminaries Church, her faith in the Goddess still prevailed — which believer did not want to see the Goddess arrive with their own eyes?
So, Lu Fina also followed Fangzheng and walked in.
Inside the door, there was a spiral staircase that seemed to go on forever. This reminded Fangzheng of the old nest of the Goddess of Order in the Milky Way Galaxy. She also dug a refuge in the core area of a planet.
Hmm, it seems that no matter what, the idea of surviving is pretty much the same.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng's expression became a little more serious. After all, this was the second member of the Order race that he met other than the Goddess of Order. He was also not sure what kind of attitude the other party would have towards him.
However, although Fangzheng was mentally prepared, when he really met the Goddess of Space, everything in front of him still surprised him.
After walking down the stairs for who knows how long, and then passing through the sealed passage, what finally appeared in front of Fangzheng was a huge glass jar — and inside it, there was something that looked like a flame shining with colorful light.
When Fangzheng walked into the room, the colorful flame began to distort, change shape, and finally turned into the image of a woman in front of everyone. Seeing the appearance of this woman, the old Pharaoh, the Star Cup knight, and Lu Fina hurriedly and respectfully knelt on the ground. Only Fangzheng remained standing.
At the same time, an ethereal, pleasant voice sounded.
"I didn't expect to see my compatriots again after so long …."
"Hello, Goddess of Space."
Fangzheng bowed slightly.
"My name is Fangzheng. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me."
"A familiar aura …."
Hearing Fangzheng's response, the woman smiled.
"To be honest, when I first felt the existence of the other Mark of Order, I thought it was just my imagination …. Hello, my compatriot, how is the situation outside now?"
"Uh …."
Hearing the joy and anticipation in the Goddess of Space's voice, Fangzheng hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to answer truthfully.
"I'm sorry, the situation is very bad. To be honest, I'm the only member of the Order race who can move now."
"Is that so …."
Hearing this answer, the Goddess of Space sighed.
"Are there any other survivors?"
"Apart from you, there's one more."
The only good thing about the Goddess of Space was that she still had a head.
The Goddess of Space, on the other hand, had completely turned into a ghost.
Of course, Fangzheng didn't deliberately hide anything. He directly explained the situation outside to the Goddess of Space, including the current redevelopment of the Alfalfa galaxy, the territory of Order in the Four Leaves galaxy, the defensive measures used to resist the waves of Chaos, and the situation of most of the worlds that had been eroded by Chaos.
The Goddess of Space only listened quietly until Fangzheng finished. Only then did she sigh.
"Although I guessed that things would become very bad, I didn't expect it to be this bad. Fortunately, in any case, the Order race still left behind a seed. This may be a ray of hope."
"I have a question, Goddess of Space. Why did you become like this … Ugh …."
Fangzheng didn't know how to answer. He was sure that the Goddess of Space was indeed a member of the Order race, because Fangzheng could see the mark of Order shining in the depths of her soul. But Fangzheng couldn't understand how this member of the Order race ended up in a worse state than the Goddess of Space.
At least the Goddess of Space still had a head left, but the Goddess of Space only had a remnant soul left. Through the circulation of power, Fangzheng was sure that the glass jar in front of him was the container that stored the remnant soul of the Goddess of Space. In other words, not only did the Goddess of Space lose her body, but her soul was also in a terrible state.
"This is a very long story, but if you want to hear it, I won't refuse."
Following the Goddess of Space's words, four chairs appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground. There was even a tea table and a teapot beside them.
"Please take a seat. I haven't chatted with my guests for a long time."
Fangzheng sat on the first chair. The old Pharaoh bowed respectfully to the Goddess of Space and sat down. Fina, on the other hand, didn't know whether to stand or sit. In the end, it was the Star Cup Knight who pulled her to sit down.
"It happened a long time ago …."
Following the Goddess of Space's slow narration, Fangzheng finally learned what happened on the Semriya continent back then.
In the beginning, what the Goddess of Space did on the Semriya continent was the same as the other members of the Order race. She spread the seeds of Order and guided the development of civilization.
But good things didn't last long. Soon, the Chaos Wave broke out. This was no paradise. But compared to the Goddess of Space's wilderness, this was a relatively well-developed place developed by the Order race. So after receiving the warning of the impending Chaos Wave, the Goddess of Space immediately began to think of ways to protect her people.
So she created the Seven Treasures.
"I used to think that the Seven Treasures were enough to protect the people from the attacks of the Chaos Waves. After all, the Seven Treasures were pure Order Energy. Even the Chaos Waves couldn't hurt the people without destroying the Seven Treasures."
"Indeed."
Fangzheng nodded. He could understand the Goddess of Space's thinking. When the Chaos Wave came, the first to suffer was the planet itself. Of course, the Goddess of Space couldn't just sit back and watch the Chaos Wave rush into Semriya's atmosphere. So, she chose to defend against the Chaos Wave outside the planet, while the Seven Treasures were responsible for protecting the people inside the atmosphere. Well, if it were Fangzheng, he would probably do the same.
The Goddess of Space's way of doing things was actually very similar to some parents in Fangzheng's previous life. Because they were busy with work, they didn't have time to accompany their children. So, they just gave them money and let them eat, drink, and play. Of course, the facts proved that it definitely didn't work.
The Goddess of Space faced the same situation back then. At that time, she was completely focused on defending against the Chaos Wave and felt that everything would be fine as long as she left the rear to the Seven Treasures. In the end, because they lost the Goddess of Space's guidance and received protection from the power of civilization at that time, the people naturally became high.
In the end, although the Goddess of Space protected the Semriya continent from being destroyed by the Chaos Wave, when she returned, she found that her people were playing themselves to death.
Although the Goddess of Space was a goddess, she also had emotions and desires. She was naturally sad and angry about this.
She was like a mother who worked hard outside, only to find that her son had squandered all the money he had. It would be strange if she didn't beat her to death.
But soon, the Goddess of Space realized that things were not looking good. Although she had resisted the attack of the Chaos Wave on the Semriya continent, she had also suffered serious injuries. Under such circumstances, the Goddess of Space should have been resting and getting rid of the Chaos Residue on her body. But because she saw her people courting death, she became agitated. The Chaos Residue also began to spread and affect her mind.
So, the Goddess of Space immediately realized that if she continued like this, she would become a crazy being eroded by Chaos sooner or later, just like her people …
"Wait."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng was shocked.
"Have you seen what other races of Order look like after being eroded by Chaos?"
"Of course."
The Goddess of Space nodded.
"They lost their original beliefs and pride and turned into monsters of destruction. What's more frightening is that they still have intelligence. It's just that at that time, their intelligence was completely used to create greater destruction at all costs. They want to destroy everything and return everything to Chaos. "
Fangzheng frowned. He suddenly realized that he had seen what the Goddess of Space described in the third coordinate before. Back in the world of Lina Imbas, the goal of the demons was to destroy the entire world and return to the embrace of the Golden Mother. But there was at least a theory as a basis for the demons' behavior, and this theory was not wrong.
So what were the races of Order doing?
"Can they communicate?"
"They can communicate, but they can't understand each other."
The Goddess of Space shook her head again.
"After being eroded by Chaos, they only seem to focus on destruction. No matter how you communicate with them, their goal is to achieve more destruction and death. They don't even hesitate to sacrifice themselves to deceive other compatriots. They have only lost their rationality, but not their intelligence — which makes them even more dangerous. "
Of course, the Goddess of Space did not want to become like this, so she made a decision.
She gave up her body and a part of her soul.
"Why did you do that?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng was no longer so shocked.
After all, there was one who only left her head to purify the power of Chaos. In comparison, the Goddess of Space's method was more in line with common sense.
"Because Chaos is invisible. It can exist everywhere, and it doesn't have self-awareness. But once Chaos is given self-awareness, it will be given a concept and fixed in it."
"Wise thinking."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers. The method the Goddess of Space used to deal with Chaos was almost the same as his. By giving a concept to Chaos, she fixed it in place and controlled it from intangible to tangible. However, the Goddess of Space was a little more pitiful, so she had no choice but to … Hmm?
"You know there's an organization called Ouroboros. Their leader calls herself the Goddess of Space …"
"From a certain point of view, it's not wrong."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, the Goddess of Space smiled bitterly.
"She's another me, bound by my body and concept, a Chaos with its own self."
The rest of the story was simple. After abandoning her own body to seal and confine Chaos, the Void Goddess appeared before the founders of the Seven Luminaries Church in the form of a spiritual body. She commanded and led them to break through the Dark Age once again and ushered in a new era of civilization. In order to prevent her corrupted self from leaving this place, the Goddess of Space built this facility — — not only was it a facility to maintain the existence of her soul, but it was also a gravity well.
This was what people called the Seal of the Goddess.
The reason why the Goddess of Space did this was simple. She wasn't sure what her Chaos self would do, so just in case, she left her on this planet.
At the very least, she couldn't let her harm other places.
"Ouroboros is searching for the Seven Treasures …"
"Maybe that's her goal. Under the influence of the gravity well, she can't leave this world through normal means. But the Seven Treasures are existences of pure Order, especially the Treasures of Space. They can break through the limits of space. Although I don't know what she's trying to do, I can't stop her right now. "
"But the Seven Treasures can only be activated by the Mark of Order, right?"
Fangzheng frowned.
"Aren't the Marks of Order with you?"
"Of course, I won't allow a Chaos to take away the Marks of Order, but the Seven Treasures were created by me to protect my people, so I've given them a certain degree of automation. Even if they can't be fully controlled by the Marks of Order, they can still be used through certain rituals …"
"Why don't you let the Seven Luminaries Church retrieve the Seven Treasures?"
Fangzheng asked another question out of curiosity.
"With your identity, the Seven Luminaries Church's current reputation on the continent isn't bad. Besides, to deal with the other you, it's necessary to withdraw its power, isn't it?"
"Three of the Seven Treasures have been destroyed. Only the Treasures of Space are relatively intact, and it was also sealed by the Riebels. I think this is a very good ending. But I still have to thank you for returning the Treasures of Space. Its power is very important to me. "
"You're welcome. After all, it originally belonged to you."
Having said that, Fangzheng turned his head and looked to his left and right. He saw that the other three were staring at him and the Sky Goddess in a daze, as though wondering what the two of them were talking about.
"You didn't tell them about this?"
"It's too far away from them, after all."
Looking at the old Guardian King's expression, the Goddess of Space shook her head helplessly.
"Even if they knew about it, it would only add to their troubles. I originally planned to tell them about it when the time was right."
Indeed, for a civilization that couldn't even break free from the gravity sphere, the attacks of the Chaos waves weren't worthy of their concern.
Anyway, it was impossible for them to install a propeller for Semriya to escape.
The conversation with the Goddess of Space went smoothly. Besides, compared to the Goddess of Order who had a screw loose, the Goddess of Space's performance was more in line with Fangzheng's impression of the Goddess of Space. She was cultured, polite, and had a touch of gentleness and sweetness.
She wasn't like a lunatic who watched two men having sex all day long.
Frankly speaking, after meeting the Goddess of Order, Fangzheng's impression of the Order race had fallen to its lowest point. He even suspected that the Order race was filled with weirdos like the Goddess of Order. But fortunately, after talking to the Goddess of Space, he finally changed his impression of the Order race.
This made Fangzheng feel emotional. If only he had met the Goddess of Space right from the start.
