The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

However, he was all alone here, and no one else could pick up on the joke.

Xue Lu smiled and installed the fragment containing the consciousness of the "God of Order" into the main system of the Evil Eye. However, the God of Order was still unable to awaken because almost all of His power was reserved within the Mist Council to struggle against the truly void monsters.

So now, Xue Law has two options: one is to use nothingness to pollute the God of Order again, so that it can slow down the process of becoming a god; the other is that Xue Law still has a fruit from the God Tree!

This is to strengthen the God of Order, allowing him to temporarily suppress the void.

Faced with two choices, Xue's Law doesn't know which one to choose, or perhaps both might actually backfire on the Mimic King.

But as I said before, Xue's Law only allows us to make choices here.

Every second of hesitation means the loss of more civilizations and races. In such a situation, he can only make a choice based on his feelings. If the choice is wrong, he can only pay for it with his life.

When the thought popped into Xue Dinglu's mind, he immediately thought of Chaos's face, his two daughters, and his family. For some reason, he silently took back the thought.

Let's gamble. I can't do any better, so let's take a chance!

Xue Dinglu immediately took out a fruit, the purest divine tree fruit, a fruit formed from the divine tree of Eden Star.

In that world, the Divine Tree was corrupted by Athena's memories, and afterwards, Chaos and the Divine Tree silently transformed the entire planet's ecology, spreading across the entire planet.

After that, Chaos's power of "love" established a new link with the Divine Tree, making the Divine Tree a completely new entity capable of taking away the jobs of all the "Death Gods" of the pantheon.

Reincarnation!

Unlike the ambiguous reincarnation found in other pantheons, Chaos can use his authority and the divine tree's ability to absorb souls to have the tree select and preserve the corresponding souls. Then, he only needs to put that preserved soul into the fertilized egg when it is just born to achieve reincarnation.

The only price to achieve this reincarnation is to offer up one's body from before birth.

So when this ability was extended to all of Eden, the other Grim Reapers had no choice but to give up their former power, as they were no match for it. Instead, they gained other benefits, such as military power.

Therefore, Chaos was still using the Tree of God to harvest the corpses and souls of all of Eden, but no god stopped her, because they knew that after they died, they would probably need Chaos to help them complete their reincarnation. Although they would lose all their power, it was still better than dying directly.

This also represents the balance in which the divine tree, gods, and humans coexist on the planet Eden.

Although Xue's Law was still not entirely satisfied with the way the divine tree existed, this was the place in all the worlds he had ever seen where the divine tree and the local people lived in the most harmonious way.

Even the divine tree that inherited Athena's memories, the more it grew, the more it resembled the "World Tree" before it was transformed.

Yes, before the Divine Tree was modified by the First Apostle and the Lord of the Mist, it was originally the World Tree used to regulate the planet...

Xue Lude thought to himself.

Therefore, he chose to use the fruit of the Divine Tree. If there is anything in the entire universe that is most closely related to the King of the Realm besides the Mimic King, it is the fruit of the Divine Tree.

This ominous and twisted power is produced by absorbing spiritual particles and condensing into fruit, nourished by the souls and flesh of billions of people.

This is the closest creation to the Venerable King, a super treasure that can allow ordinary people to ascend to near-5th rank, and after easily digesting it, they can directly ascend to 5th rank. It is also a product that the apostles have been planning for billions of years, and have been continuously cared for like an old farmer.

This is the treasure in the entire universe that can bring one directly closer to the Venerable King. With just one fruit, any creature can instantly become a person of a similar status to the former "Mimic Venerable King," that is, an Apostle.

Giving it to other planets will cause them to develop world consciousness within an extremely short period of time. Giving it to a planet that already has world consciousness will enable that world to achieve overall ascension, filling it with spiritual energy, and thus increasing the strength of the planet's consciousness and the upper limit of the species on the planet!

This is the fruit of the Divine Tree! A way to forcibly approach the Venerable King through evil means.

Now, Xue Law has chosen to gamble with this forbidden power.

In an instant, the fruit from Chaos was pressed into the fragment of the Mimic King and refined in a flash.

Just as Xue's law thought, since the mimicry of the King, that is, the current God of Order, and the true King are of the same origin, then the fruit is definitely a more suitable choice than the pollution of nothingness.

Xue's Law could not save "Mimic King" because once He irreversibly transformed into the God of Order, everything was beyond everyone's control. All Xue's Law could do was give the God of Order a little time.

At the very least, it will take time to clean up the mess caused by the Lord of the Mist!

At this moment, countless members of the interstellar squadron seemed to sense something. They stared blankly in this direction, their hearts pounding uncontrollably. At the same time, they seemed to sense something as well. When they took out their communication devices, they found that the communication devices, which had been unusable since the disappearance of the Mimic King, could finally be used!

At this moment, the phantom of a "giant eye" floating inside the Evil Eye, which seemed to hold the universe in its hands, slowly opened its eyes.

This is the God of Order, and also the power of the Mimic King.

Starfleet, your king has returned.

Although it's only temporary.

Chapter 476 The Prelude to the War of the Gods

In an instant, the previously completely closed information channels were connected.

Following the cross-world chat group previously created by the Mimic King, the entire Starfleet also established various chat groups.

It even resembled a way of reporting work content in a chat group, except that with the disappearance of the Mimic King, all communication was cut off, which led to the brief chaos in the interstellar squadron.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Lord of the Mist struck at the heart of the Starship Legion in an instant, attacking its various squads one by one.

Although information can be obtained from each other through manual transmission, such information is too delayed. For the Lord of the Mist, this could cause unimaginable consequences in a short period of time.

Another point is that the disappearance of the Mimic King was a huge blow to the entire Starfleet, and morale plummeted.

However, when the God of Order took over the underlying protocol of the former Mimic King, the communication devices of the interstellar fleet were all restored in an instant. At the same time, all kinds of messages and intelligence were reported to the God of Order.

The God of Order quickly dealt with everything, and just as Xue's Law had predicted, the Lord of the Mist chose to launch a full-scale attack.

He had no tactics whatsoever, nor any of the usual tactics of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements. Instead, He instantly took control of all the other apostles' families and gathered them all together.

Then he ordered them to attack various areas!

There were no feints, only main attacks!

But it was precisely this method, which had absolutely no tactical basis, that rendered the Starfleet helpless.

That is, the Starship Legion did not expect that the power accumulated by the Apostles in secret had reached such a level that it was capable of overwhelming the Starship Legion head-on after abandoning the Mimic King.

Swarms of insects, divine trees, evil spirits, fleets... and countless monsters that resembled biological weapons attacked the interstellar column like a raging storm.

A fair and square crushing victory!

Even at this point, several squadrons of the Starfleet had already ceased to exist in name only, their bases completely destroyed, and the survivors had to go to other nearby squadrons for help.

Some insightful individuals understood that no squad would survive if things continued this way, so they abandoned their own squads and instead assisted their brother squads, joining forces to jointly resist the attack of the Lord of the Mist.

With the help of the masquerade ball, they managed to hold onto the precarious defenses for a time.

Because of the information lag, even those who were supporting other teams often found out which team was about to collapse by the time they arrived, it was too late.

But it doesn't matter, at this moment, the God of Order has returned.

He quickly learned about the situation of each squad and assigned corresponding tasks to each person on a one-to-one basis. Like a master playing an RTS game from God's perspective, he arranged every battlefield in an orderly manner and stabilized the front line in a short time.

This is why Xue Law wanted to revive the Mimic King as soon as possible. Even if the Mimic King can only appear temporarily, the effect he produces is countless times stronger than Xue Law, who is just a simple henchman.

Not only that, the God of Order also sent a message to all the masquerade members who were preparing to self-destruct, telling them to cherish their lives.

Meanwhile, although the Fifth Squad had just repelled the enemy and the entire base was reduced to ruins, they were now able to spare combat power to support other defensive lines and were preparing to assist other squads in gradually stabilizing one battle line after another.

Stabilizing all these circumstances seemed as easy to the God of Order as eating a small piece of bread.

It wasn't just about arranging the interstellar column; now, the God of Order directly told Xue Luding, "I am calculating the location and background of the Lord of the Mist. According to my calculations, He may have some unimaginable means to turn himself into an 'evil god'."

"Of course, this 'evil god' that He transformed into is far inferior to the Venerable King and the Void. It is most likely only on par with fear at most. But with our current strength, it is absolutely impossible to deal with Him."

As the God of Order spoke, He stared intently at Xue Luding. The next moment, a crystal resembling a gemstone was taken from His hand and solemnly handed to Xue Luding.

"This is?"

"The Essence of Order, my origin. Any unit that is hit by it will suffer the absolute crushing of the most fundamental authority of 'Order' and will be assimilated by me in an instant. Your task is also very simple. As long as you can use this essence to make contact with the Lord of the Mist, I can use this connection to descend into the Lord of the Mist."

"At that time, your mission will be complete, and what follows is my divine war!"

The God of Order spoke very solemnly, and quietly took out the Essence of Order in his hand.

"Why...why me?" Xue Dinglu remained silent, as if he had returned to a year ago, before he was about to kill Zeus, he had asked another person the same question.

Placing his hand on the divine essence, Xue Luding sensed the power within it that belonged to a true god.

Once this essence of order is unleashed, it can instantly level hundreds of millions of light-years. Or perhaps the power of this order will spread throughout the universe like the spirit particles of the Venerable King, thus continuously influencing the universe.

Even the Lord of the Mist, if struck by it, would be instantly obliterated by the descending God of Order.

That's the power of our own side's top leader.

Xue's Law feels like this is a tower defense game that's nearing its end. The enemy only has one crystal left, but our side has no way to break through the defenses and directly attack the enemy's crystal.

Now, their own team's leader tapped the teleportation button on his body and said to himself, "As long as you can get close to the enemy crystal, leave the rest to me!"

As soon as Xue Dinglu gets close to the Lord of the Mist, the God of Order will teleport over and deliver a fatal blow to the crystal!

Therefore, in this battle, all Xue Law needs to do is act as a soldier and approach the enemy base.

The Mimic King silently looked at Xue Lude, and at that moment, He said, "Xue Lude, don't you understand? You are now the person in the entire universe who is closest to the King..."

At that moment, Xue Dinglu was stunned.

"It's not because of power, nor because of the fruit of the Divine Tree, nor because of authority... You brat, by sheer accident, you've embarked on the exact same path as the Venerable King, and you've gone further than anyone else in the Star Squadron..."

"Whether it's the spiritual particle of a fragment of the Venerable King that your hometown itself possesses, your heart that vows to protect others to the death, or the Genesis that has always accompanied you, all of these have made you unknowingly and rapidly move closer to the Venerable King."

"You didn't even realize why your strength has advanced so quickly, so unstoppably?"

The words of the God of Order left Xue Dinglu stunned.

"Even the Star Guardians I established, many of them had only completed a few missions to save the world before retiring, and the Star Guardians were basically responsible for placing them in these missions. As a result, even if they were on the path of the King, the growth they achieved could only be described as barely acceptable."

"But you are different. You are a madman. Even in my eyes, you are moving forward so frequently and relentlessly, even if it means falling into nothingness, to complete the act of saving the world. Xue Law, your very existence is already incredibly close to the path of the King's ascension by accident."

"Even after I became a god, I suddenly discovered that you were actually the person who had gone the furthest on the path to becoming a king in the entire universe."

Xue Dinglu remained silent, staring at the Divine Essence of Order in his hand. Once it was in his grasp, the strongest power of this Divine Essence of Order instantly ceased to reveal its sharpness, instead slowly adapting to his arm.

Subsequently, an arm guard was created to be worn on the wrist. Xue Lude could feel that, if he wanted to, this arm guard would be able to be thrust out instantly like a hidden blade.

Any unit hit by it will be instantly covered and obliterated by the God of Order!

The God of Order only has a few opportunities to use his full power. After using his full power this time, He will be forcibly taken by the Venerable King to the subspace barrier at the end of the subspace. This is the rule of the universe now.

The God of Order looked at Xue Dinglu and just laughed: "Those apostles have exhausted themselves, going to great lengths to get closer to the Venerable King, refining all of humanity in the universe, which has evolved in a similar way thanks to the Venerable King's grace, into fruits and consuming thousands or tens of thousands of them, but it's still not as good as what you've done in a year!"

"The broad road is right in front of everyone, but some people choose not to take it and instead want to take a shortcut, trying to use their own cleverness. They are often just being presumptuous!"

It's unclear whether the words of the God of Order were mocking the Lord of the Mist or all the apostles.

"I will complete this mission." Xue Dinglu sheathed his hidden blade, and suddenly smiled, as if he had let go of everything. "After this mission is completed, I should have achieved my goal of killing all the Apostles, right?"

"It not only killed all the apostles, but also set an example of this broad road for the entire universe. From now on, no one will think of relying on the twisted evil path of the Divine Tree fruit. As a result, the chaos and filth of the entire universe will be reduced by at least half!"

"And thus, order will spread throughout the entire universe!" the God of Order concluded.
