Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

”Why do it this way?”

”Didn’t I say? Only the bodies of us in the Order Clan can contain, withstand, and transform Chaotic Power.”

”But why did you only leave the head? Couldn’t you just cut off an arm?”

Fang Zheng couldn’t understand what kind of crazy operation this was.

”Because we need to consider the margin, if it’s just an arm, once it exceeds the limit, it’ll explode. I’ve calculated, given my body’s limit, to perfectly realize the plan, I need the whole body... Well, lucky to have the head preserved, it’s not too bad.”

”Then why not simply clone another body... alright, I’m stupid.”

Fang Zheng initially wanted to ask, but upon noticing the look from the Goddess of Order, he decisively shut his mouth. He almost forgot that only those with the Order Seal are part of the Order Clan. If cloning could solve the problem, the Goddess of Order wouldn’t have just a head now.

”But still, it’s impressive you achieved all this...”

Although shocked by the sacrifice of the Goddess of Order, Fang Zheng genuinely admired her; she truly lived up to her name, possessing both exceptional ability and decisiveness.

However...

”It’s nothing, world creation is a mandatory course for the Order Clan, we all learn it.”

”...Huh?”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned, while the Goddess of Order glanced at him.

”You can’t?”

”Of course I can’t!”

Fang Zheng was flabbergasted on the spot. Are you joking, you’re talking about world creation. Creating a single planet is beyond me; all I can do is improve the environment and cultivate species on an existing planet.

”Oh...right, I forgot you weren’t born in the Order Clan, so you didn’t undergo basic education... No wonder your use of the Order Seal seems so crude.”

”Basic education...”

Fang Zheng was completely speechless.

So, you guys in the Order Clan have training for world creation?

Where can I get a certificate for this? I’ll go take the test now.

”Can you teach me then?”

”Sorry, I can’t do that. I lack the necessary qualifications and explicit permissions, plus I’m not very good at teaching.”

The Goddess of Order refused so neatly that Fang Zheng had no response.

Your refusal is so official!

”Don’t look at me like that, I know you’re displeased, but the fact is I can’t.”

The Goddess of Order’s head moved slightly, and she circled around Fang Zheng once more.

”See, no two leaves are the same, even if we learn the same knowledge or observe the same values, our thoughts differ. Moreover, I can sense you already have your foundation, rough and lacking refinement, but it’s at least formed... So, you see, the way you’d create the world would be different from mine.”

”So what method do you use to create a world then?”

Fang Zheng thought, even if he couldn’t learn, listening to the experience was beneficial. Standing on the shoulders of giants gives perspective.

”It’s actually simple, much like painting. We just need to first project and create a space, then imagine our favorite things, and form a whole based on that.”

”...Like this?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng seemed to have some realization, much like how a thousand people have a thousand interpretations of Hamlet, each person’s view shapes the world they create.

”Yeah, so you see, every time I create a world, I imagine the passion between men, sweat, blood, emotion, that fierce force entwining—truly mesmerizing...”

”Impressive you can still create such normal worlds like that.”

Seeing the dreamy-eyed Goddess of Order, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but mock. Knowing he had visited several worlds created by her, fortunately, they were normal, considering her interests, making a world centered around male bonding could be effortless.

”Because I learned from experience.”

At this point, the Goddess of Order lowered her head, sighed, and a sense of unease crept from within Fang Zheng.

”Experience?”

”Yes, actually, at first, I envisioned a world entirely of men, and to ensure their civilization could continue, I granted them the ability to reproduce.”

”Ugh...”

Upon hearing the Goddess’s tale, Fang Zheng’s face clearly showed disgust and disdain.

That’s Hell indeed!

”Yet, after realizing my dream, I wasn’t even excited. Surrounded by loving men, yet I felt no joy or pleasure! Later I realized, I committed a grave error.”

As she spoke, the Goddess of Order grew increasingly impassioned.

”...Error?”

”Yes, why is love between men so thrilling? Because it’s abnormal, beyond common sense. Love between men and women is orderly and logical, but same-sex love isn’t. That’s why, when facing obstacles, challenging it, confronting it, and accepting it—despite knowing it’s wrong and defying logic—they choose to love... Ahhh!! That’s the essence of love! That’s the intense emotional clash between men that I adore!”

As she spoke, the Goddess’s head bobbed energetically, revealing her excitement.

”So why did I create such a world? It’s precisely because of worldly and rational barriers that love between men becomes so dazzling. But when it becomes a norm, the thrill of transgression and excitement is gone forever! I’m a fool! Why desecrate the purest love within me! I destroyed it myself!

”...”

Fang Zheng silently took out a soda, looking at the Goddess with dead fish eyes.

Why am I here listening to her discourse on the value of gay love?

”So afterward, I learned from my mistake. When creating worlds, I stick largely to normal values, enforcing male-female relationships so that those men who realize ’Oh, I actually like men’ become conflicted, troubled, drowning in guilt and unease. Man faces towering walls, awakening their potential hahahaha...”

”I say, you totally look like a shadowy BOSS right now.”

Watching the Goddess of Order stick out her tongue and drool, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but comment.

At least maintain a bit of your image.

”Hahahaha, sorry, sorry.”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s reminder, the Goddess of Order snapped back to reality, and soon a handkerchief appeared out of thin air, which she then used to wipe the corner of her mouth.

”But you really should see my collection; the cursed dragon-slaying warrior who couldn’t marry the Princess and instead fell in love with his own attendant is just too fantastic to see him agonize between desire and honor... Ah, disclaimer, these aren’t movie performances but real-life events; it’s my only source of joy now.”

”Whoa, your interests are quite questionable.”

At this point, Fang Zheng couldn’t hold back.

”What curse, that was totally deliberate on your part!”

”Yes, but I gave him powers, eliminated the nation-threatening Evil Dragon, and made the Princess fall in love with him. It’s all good, but everything has a price, and this is also a trial! A trial! If he can’t pass it, he won’t obtain happiness!”

”Wipe the drool off your mouth, then I might find your words one-tenth convincing.”

Nope, this Goddess is downright dangerous.

Fang Zheng silently stepped back two paces.

”So, let’s get back to business...”

Any further talk and he’d feel his brain exploding.

”True that.”

The Goddess of Order nodded before she turned serious.

”Hmm, honestly, I wasn’t too clear about your situation before, but now it seems you’re not ready. As you are, you’d be knocked over by the Chaos Waves in no time outside. Your core point isn’t activated yet.”

”Core point?”

”It’s the core... To put it simply, it’s something only you can comprehend. Hmm... Wait, let me see...”

Saying this, the Goddess of Order glanced around as if searching for something, then raised her head.

”Alright, take this.”

As she spoke, a tiny light appeared before the Goddess and landed in Fang Zheng’s hand, accompanied by a ”ding” task alert in his ear.

”What’s this?”

”A kind of training program, perhaps. It helps you define yourself. Ah, don’t ask me what the content is, as I said, each person’s content is different...”

”So Lady Goddess, what was your previous training content?”

”Hehehe...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s curious question, the Goddess of Order blushed and laughed.

”Well...”

”Well?”

”Well, it’s... about making two men who love me become a couple...”

”...”

Whoa, nope, this woman is downright dangerous! What kind of ghostly trial is that?! You’re playing me!!

”Don’t look at me like that!”

Noticing the meaning in Fang Zheng’s gaze, the Goddess of Order also got flustered.

”This is a life-or-death problem for me! You must know, those two men were so tender to me; if I forget my original intention and get lost in their love, my trial would fail~!”

I think failure isn’t so bad. Conversely, seeing you like this, success seems worse.

”So, I’ll take my leave. If I’m confused in the future, I’ll come find you.”

”Better not come often; I’ve finally found such a quiet place. If you come to me too often, I fear you might bring unwanted stuff along.”

The Goddess of Order shook her head in boredom, and soon, the earlier scene reappeared, indicating the film was about to continue. Fang Zheng shook his head as well, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

”By the way, Lady Goddess.”

”Hmm? Anything else?”

”What are you planning to do about the Alfalfa Galaxy?”

After all, people are still worshipping you over there; you have to have some sort of plan.

”Alfalfa Galaxy... Ah, come to think of it, you did emerge from there.”

Yet, the very person being worshipped seemed to have almost forgotten about such a place.

”Ah, what a bother. I’ll leave it to you.”

With the Goddess of Order’s words, Fang Zheng’s ear received another ”ding,” followed by a system alert appearing before him.

[User 10235 transfers ’Alfalfa Galaxy’ management control rights to you. Confirm?]

”...Huh?”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng was stunned.

Is this even possible?
