"Zayinjier is rarely mentioned in the historical records of the Tower of Rationality. The limited historical data states that in his youth, he repeatedly violated the rules of the School, privately using prohibited items for creation research, and was warned many times.
However, his talent was excellent, and he quickly rose to prominence within the School, gaining the attention of the Presidential Board of Erudition and receiving substantial financial and human resource support.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. At the height of his fame, he once again secretly initiated a prohibited experiment. An accident occurred during the experiment, causing the School laboratory to explode and collapse, burying almost all the students of the Creation Alchemy School with him..."
Cheng Shi listened, lowering his head in thought.
This aligns with what Chernosley said.
After Zayinjier was assassinated, his students were all exiled. Among them, Ados and Tarot came to the underground and joined the Chaos sprout believer faction.
Such a scandalous matter, from the perspective of the Tower of Rationality, naturally needed to be reasonably and legally erased from the records of these people.
"What experiment did he do?"
"Historical records don't mention it. However, according to unofficial rumors, the experiment Zayinjier initiated was called 'Flesh Birth of God.' He attempted to use the divinity of Truth stolen from the Presidential Board of Erudition, combined with the puppet technology of Creation Alchemy, to create a brand New God!"
"!!!"
Cheng Shi's eyes widened suddenly, his mind buzzing.
No wonder Ados could get together with Chernosley; his Teacher had started creating Gods!
As a student, merely summoning the gaze of a New God isn't too much, is it?
"Did he succeed?"
"Didn't I tell you, he failed? The divinity exploded, and the entire School was blown up."
That's not right!
Chernosley clearly said that "the Tower of Rationality assassinated Zayinjier before he released his latest results," which means Zayinjier had already succeeded!
If this unofficial rumor is accurate, it also means Zayinjier had already created a God!
At least a flesh and blood life that contained divinity!
Holy crap!
Where did this life go?
Was it taken by the Tower of Rationality?
Cheng Shi silently noted all of this, then asked again:
"Did none of the students from the School escape?"
"Almost none. If there were, there should be records, as they would be considered survivors of a major experimental accident, and would likely have left some trace in historical records."
Cheng Shi frowned, feeling something was off. He continued to probe:
"But I seem to have heard that a student from the Creation Alchemy School named Ados killed the Grand Tribunal Judge, Mercsius, triggering a full-scale war on the surface in the middle of the civilization era. Counting the time, it seems to be the same period as Zayinjier?"
Gao Yu was a little surprised. He praised with a happy expression:
"Being able to say the name Mercsius is enough to prove that you truly love history. This person is rarely seen even in the official history of the Grand Tribunal; most information is pieced together by the School through fragmented data.
However, you got one thing wrong. The one who killed Mercsius was not someone you called Ados; I haven't even heard that name.
The one who truly killed this First Class Judge was a mysterious person from the underground!
We reviewed a vast amount of data and finally found clues in a collection of poems compiled by a Troubadour born at the end of the civilization era.
He recorded that during his travels in the underground, he witnessed the believers of Chaos holding a memorial ceremony, and the ceremony mentioned a person's name. This person was called...
Ultraman!"
"!!!???"
"Buzz--"
The moment he heard this name, Cheng Shi felt as if his brain was instantly struck by ten thousand bolts of lightning, and a buzzing sound of Universe resonance filled his mind.
Gao Yu looked at his shocked expression and chuckled.
"Surprising, isn't it? I also didn't expect people from the Hope Continent to have this name; it's too funny. This name, which makes one feel detached, is completely out of place with serious history."
Cheng Shi took a long time to recover. He quickly suppressed his shocked expression, putting on a look of amusement and sighing:
"Indeed, it's like a modern emoji appearing on an ancient person's calligraphy; it makes people not know whether to laugh or cry.
However, this person...
What did He do?"
Gao Yu was in the mood for talking. His eyes sparkled, and he whispered with the attitude of "this is definitely the most explosive gossip":
"The History School hasn't yet determined the identity of this person.
Some believe He is a puppet Scholar exiled by the Tower of Rationality and instigated by the underground Faith;
Some believe He is a Judge who defected from the Grand Tribunal and willingly retaliated against his former employer for the underground Faith;
And some believe He, yes, you didn't hear wrong, it is He, He is the pioneer of Chaos, the Envoy of Chaos!
In the stage when war had just gazed upon the Hope Continent but had not yet descended, at the time node when Chaos had not yet discovered that Universe, He trailed through the starry sky, finding this paradise for His Lord, and spread His will in advance in the underground world!
How about it? Does it feel epic? This is very likely the story of an Envoy!
And it is also very likely the beginning of the descent of Chaos!
I spent a lot of points to exchange for this from within the School!
You're getting a bargain!
Hey, Cheng Shi?
What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Are you very shocked?"
Ah yes, ah yes yes yes!
Very shocked, so shocked my celestial cap is about to fly off.
When the hell did I become the Envoy of Chaos?
Huh?
Is this me?
Isn't this "Ultraman" just a random thought I blurted out?
How did it get written into the historical records found by the History School?
Alright, truly alright.
I, Cheng Shi, am not only a believer of Fraud, a "Oathbreaker" of Fate, and an intern of Death...
I've even become the Envoy of Chaos!
How do I not know I have so many identities!?
Is this really a new Trial?
I'm not still dreaming, am I!?
Cheng Shi's extremely stable emotions broke down a little at this moment. He was momentarily stunned, then raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
"Crack."
Crisp, and painful.
Not a dream.
"..."
Gao Yu was also a little stunned when he saw this scene.
"Your... way of getting excited is quite unique, huh."
"..."
Recovering from his emotional outburst, Cheng Shi's expression slowly became serious.
If Gao Yu didn't have ulterior motives, if this random chat initiated by himself hadn't been guided and tampered with by some Existence, if that Troubadour and his collection of poems really existed, if...
He racked his brain thinking of countless 'ifs', and only then dared to integrate the current information and deduce an unbelievable conclusion:
In the previous Trial, he had changed the history of the Hope Continent.
A Player from reality changed the background of the Faith Game!
This was almost identical to Du Xiguang's act of changing everyone's Memory. Cheng Shi immediately linked this cause and effect to an existence.
Memory!
Did He do it?
After all, He is the enemy of Fraud, and I am the "treasured" collection of Fraud.
If He truly took action, the time node for the action could only be after I met with Death.
Because Death had a good impression of me, but didn't have a good impression of Memory, who failed to retrieve the garuda's dagger for Him.
If I had already been burdened with tampered Memory at that time, He probably wouldn't have ignored it.
So, was it Him?
If so, why?
