My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 532 Correct Question

The headquarters of the Church of Chaos.

Jiang Chen and Anna sat in the central hall of the cathedral.

Pope Christian looked at Jiang Chen with a smile: "How many uniqueness rules have you obtained?"

"One. I can modify system instructions and have agent authority." Jiang Chen replied.

Christine was slightly surprised: "But the information I felt was not like that. The system's spatial transmission ability has been reduced."

Jiang Chen was a little surprised.

Can you feel this?

Then he smiled and said, "I have diluted this part of its ability. It and I are not the only ones. To use the words on our Earth, it is to first pull the opponent down to the same level as you, and then use your rich experience to defeat it."

Pope Christian was also surprised: "Which side are you on?"

Jiang Chen felt very aggrieved: "I don't know either... The most important premise of controlling yourself is not to stand on one side. Besides, the system itself is fighting with its left hand against its right hand, so what's wrong with me being contradictory?"

Christine agreed: "Although you are not a politician yet, you have already grasped the essence of a politician."

"Not taking sides?"

"Only stand on the side of interests!"

Jiang Chen laughed.

This statement is true.

Gaia: Shouldn't I stand by your faith?

They chatted like this for a while.

A waiter brought them tea, and the old pope poured tea for Jiang Chen himself: "Alexia is gone, he is a huge loss to us. Do you want to know his past?"

Jiang Chen nodded gently: "If you want to know the future, you must first know the past. The chaotic history of the Chaos Realm contains countless secrets, and you, the Sage, are undoubtedly part of the secret."

"Then tell me what you know first."

Jiang Chen nodded: "About a few hundred years ago, this world was attacked. The characteristics swept across the earth. In order to fight against the characteristics, someone summoned alien creatures, a race that mastered the power of science and technology..."

This was a combination of his history from the Broken Lands and the Tomb of the Undying Dead.

In fact, since he entered the palace, even when he was taking political classes, Jiang Chen did not forget to read various history books at any time. Although there were some confusions in history, generally speaking, there was no problem with the general background.

"And what about Alexia?" asked the old pope.

Jiang Chen looked at Anna and said, "Christiana is his great-granddaughter and the only biological daughter of the old king. Alexia has no blood connection with the Famit family. And he is sixteen years old this year... Oh, he should be seventeen."

"Do you have an explanation now?"

Jiang Chen smiled: "He was reborn, this is the only reasonable explanation."

The old pope sighed and nodded. "It's a pity that he can't be resurrected again because of you. This time he disappeared forever. He was a great existence. It was because of him that we can continue to exist until now. He was Anna's grandfather... He once had an identity, Gode Famit."

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up slightly: "It is indeed him! The one who colluded with the Lord of Chaos or the Lord of Blazing Flame and was executed for it? He can be reincarnated infinitely?"

The old pope shook his head slightly: "This is not the point. The point is why he can do it?"

Yes!

The point is why can he do it?
The chaotic world does not have this ability.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen said: "Ancient arcane magic?"

The old pope chuckled and said, "Yes. The contradictions in the world come from the conflict between the remaining arcane rules and the characteristic rules. This conflict will produce changes, but what is worse than this is that there is a third force, and the three give birth to all things!"

Jiang Chen was surprised: "I only know about characteristics and arcane skills, where does the third power come from?"

The old pope laughed: "Aren't you always in contact?"

Jiang Chen was stunned: "System? That can also be considered a kind of power?"

The old pope nodded slightly: "Why not?"

Jiang Chen recalled the scene he had seen in the Tomb of the Immortal Dead, the spaceship that fell from the sky, and the alien visitor that was summoned.

He murmured softly: "Yes, why not?"

He thought thoughtfully: "We can understand it this way. This world was originally infected by characteristics. In order to fight against them, the locals summoned the power of the third type of technology to fight against the characteristics. As a result, while avoiding extinction, new chaos was created. The ancient Lord of Flame and others represent the characteristics, the four major underground sects such as the Flame Sect belong to the restoration faction, and the new era belongs to the maintenance of characteristics... Then what about the system?"

The old pope shook his head: "You are not yet at the point where I would give everything for you."

Jiang Chen understood that the old Pope would not answer him directly.

It doesn't matter, he can hint at it. Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It stands on the side for balance! It's considered neutral."

The ghost bride at the side suddenly said: "Standing on the side to balance does not mean being neutral!"

Jiang Chen immediately agreed: "Yes, just like the emperor's checks and balances."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand... I understand... So that's how it is, it's really like this."

Everybody looked at him, what did you understand?
Jiang Chen laughed softly.

If the system is regarded as the emperor of destiny, then what it wants is balance. In this case, Jiang Chen’s previous belief that the Discipline Tribunal was in conflict with the system was a huge mistake.

It's not that the Discipline Tribunal is in conflict with the system, but that there is a conflict within the Discipline Tribunal itself!

It is like the division between civil and military officials, and like the numerous factions.

That is why there are all kinds of contradictions, wisdom and stupidity, all kinds of good plans but stupid operations!

Some people expect him to succeed, some people expect him to fail!
Everything is a struggle within the Discipline Tribunal!
As for the system, it has its own will, but it still needs execution from below.

This may be the best interpretation of the situation.

Of course, in this super-power world, this is not a real court struggle, and power still plays an important role.

The interpretation of the rules means the acquisition of authority.

You don't gain authority by sucking up to the emperor, you gain authority by getting more rules!
Therefore, Jiang Chen’s previous actions were not wrong.

I can help the system and be a royalist, but this does not affect me gaining more power, or rule authority, from you!

And since I own Gaia, in a sense I am holding the emperor hostage!
Damn, so I’m not the young emperor, Gaia is, and I’m supporting him?
Gaia: You can have this!

Jiang Chen: So I am Cao Cao.

Gaia: Fuck! I've read that history!

Jiang Chen raised his head and laughed.

Then he looked at the old pope: "The confrontation between the returnists and the characteristicsists?"

The old pope smiled and said, "I didn't say anything."

Jiang Chen saw the answer from his eyes.

That’s right!
There are two major factions in the Discipline Judgment. One faction represents the former arcane system and the old rules, while the other faction represents the characteristic system and the new rules.

The four major sects, including the Flame Sect, may be standing in the arcane system, trying to restore the ancient glory.

So what about Jiang Chen?
Which faction are you helping?
He was not clear about this, but at least he knew that the arcane faction was likely to be at a complete disadvantage.

On the one hand, the entire chaotic world is now based on characteristics, and on the other hand, his own actions have also dealt a heavy blow to the arcane faction.

But if this is the case, a new contradiction arises.

The Tribunal of Discipline is doing its best to stop itself, while the other side is secretly undermining this prevention.

Generally speaking, it is the stronger party that openly blocks, and it is the weaker party that secretly sabotages.

If the Inquisition is dominated by the characteristic faction, they have no reason to stop themselves. But if the arcane faction is dominated, they have no ability to stop themselves.

This contradiction left Jiang Chen unable to find the answer.

Jiang Chen asked directly: "Who is stopping me?"

He didn't expect the old pope to give an answer.

The old pope smiled and said, "Wrong question."

Jiang Chen didn't say anything.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the stage.

There were a few history books on the table. He glanced at them casually, his brain engaged in many thoughts at the same time.

Finally, he murmured, "If the system is a third party, then why does this seemingly weakest force occupy the central core position? Why must the bigwigs of the Discipline Tribunal go in but cannot come out? Why after entering, will they definitely become a part of them? Can't they keep their previous pursuits?"

The Pope smiled: "That's the right question, but unfortunately I don't know the answer. That's exactly what you need to tell me."

Jiang Chen looked at him and said, "But can you tell me where to find the answer?"

The old pope nodded gently: "Three days later, the realm of nothingness."
