"If the strong are revered, then how can the weak survive?" Order frowned, clearly displeased.
"How can they survive? By becoming strong at any cost, by becoming powerful enough to establish rules and uphold true harmony," Chaos ruthlessly attacked Order's viewpoint.
"Your so-called true harmony will only plunge the world into chaos, where all beings will constantly kill each other without end," Order glanced coldly at Chaos, "Under the rule of justice, the entire world will be a peaceful paradise, with evil crushed in its cradle. The propagation of all beings is based on the foundation of justice; they reproduce within a certain time frame, and any violation is a crime punishable by execution."
"Hahaha! Order, you meddle in too many affairs. Do you have enough energy to govern the propagation of beings?" Chaos burst into laughter, as if hearing an extremely amusing joke.
"Establishing the optimal time for the propagation of beings ensures the harmony and stability of this world," Order persisted in his supposed sense of justice. "Your actions not only hinder the prosperity of the world but also hinder the fundamental harmony and stability of the world!"
"Under the rule of justice, only a flock of sheep will be born! And such sheep are destined to be hunted to extinction!"
From the conversation between Order and Chaos, Iris understood that both of these fellows held extreme ideologies.
First is Order's absolute justice. Under the concept of justice, all criminals must be executed. This is not based on the degree of the crime committed but simply that any crime must be punished by execution, even if it is just stealing a Bella from someone else.
Establishing the time for propagation seems like meddling in unnecessary affairs. If two people love each other, it's fine, but if they don't, wouldn't it be miserable?
If you don't propagate, you will be executed! If you propagate and don't like each other, children will grow up in such an extreme environment, how painful their hearts must be!
Order's notion of justice made Iris feel really bizarre. Although under this concept of justice, there would no longer be incidents of robbery, theft, kidnapping, slaughter, and so on, what about the lower-class people?
Iris integrated her own childhood experiences into Order's law-based ideals; if she doesn't adhere to justice, she will be executed. If she adheres to the principle of justice, she will starve to death on the streets.
Chaos's law of the jungle is completely different, where rules can be established as long as there is strength, upholding the ideology of the strong, while the weak can only comply.
This means that the strong who establish the rules will face constant challenges, with victory leading to a good outcome and failure resulting in utter desolation!
Incidents of robbery, theft, kidnapping, and slaughter will occur frequently. Being robbed or stolen from indicates that you are weak and deserve to be bullied.
As a result, the weak will not bother with cultivating crops; as long as they are stronger than you, they can freely take away your food.
Iris once again incorporated her own childhood experiences into this situation; under the law of the jungle, Iris stole from someone else, and if caught, was beaten to death on the spot.
If she managed to steal without getting caught, it was fine, but there would always be mistakes, and if caught, she would be beaten to death instantly.
Iris is now the ruler of a nation, so if she applies the law of the jungle, wouldn't the whole country be in chaos?
These two completely different and extreme ideologies collided in Iris's mind, and she would not choose either.
At this moment, Iris seized control of her body and no longer wanted to hear these two arguing in her ear.
"The debate ends here!" Iris's pupils changed from red to golden-red as she looked at Order. "I don't want to know about your supposed ideals of justice, nor do I care about the past of demons and angels. The most important thing right now is to unite and resist the invaders of the Ruined Land together."
"If you refuse the Order, our Divinity and Demon's Continent will ultimately be taken over by the Ruined Land. Then, what does your so-called justice count for?
In that case, our angels and demons can start a war now. I am the Empress of the Shuowang Empire, and Chaos saved my life and gave me the power to survive. Both morally and logically, I will stand with the demons."
Iris made her stance clear.
After a moment, a faint indifferent smile appeared on her lips. "I admit, what you said makes some sense, and I agree to unite and fight the enemy together. However, I still believe that justice is the foundation of maintaining this world."
"Let's talk about it after we win against the invasion of the Ruined Land; otherwise, it's all empty words." Iris's tone was firm and decisive. "I hope that after this alliance, your angels won't engage in any betrayal with other races of the Ruined Land."
With that, Iris left with the demon general.
"Betrayal? What betrayal? Our angelic race is noble and pure. How could we do such despicable and dirty things?" Order muttered to herself.
In Order's memory, she had never joined forces with the races of the Ruined Land to fight against the demons.
She was brought to the snowy mountains in the north by Chaos, sealed in the ice coffin for thousands of years until Elaine discovered and rescued her.
Is there something fishy going on here?
Order suddenly became doubtful.
"Jia Boli!" Order called out softly.
Jia Boli immediately rushed over.
"Your Majesty, please command." Jia Boli respectfully said.
"Have I ever ordered to unite with the races of the Ruined Land to attack the demons?" Order asked.
Jia Boli was startled for a moment, then said, "Yes! We signed an agreement with the Tide Clan at that time, allowing them to enter the waters of Divinity and Demon's Continent and establish their own country. This led to Chaos being sealed, and almost all the demon and god generals were lost."
Order's expression froze for a moment, and she remained silent for a while before saying, "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
"I absolutely did not lie, Your Majesty!" Jia Boli said seriously, and suddenly became less serious. "There's no candy for telling lies! Besides, all the angels who survived the Ruined Land war know about this."
"When did this happen?" Order continued to inquire.
"Well..." Jia Boli tilted her head and pondered for a moment. "I can't remember the exact time, but it was probably just before the Demon Emperor planned to annihilate all the creatures in the Ruined Land. After that, Your Majesty, you disagreed with the idea of annihilating the creatures and had a disagreement with the Demon Emperor, and then it turned into a fight."
From Jia Boli's words, Order understood that someone was impersonating her. In the war in the Ruined Land, Order was injured and retreated to the Divinity and Demon's Continent for recovery. At that time, the Ruined Land was being defeated and had no power to lead the various races in resistance.
At that time, the Demon Emperor suddenly invited her to discuss the future governance in the snowy mountains of the north, but it turned out to be a trap, and she was sealed in the ice coffin.
It seems that someone deliberately provoked a war between the angels and demons, causing both sides to engage in battle. Order calmed down and thought about the purpose of the person who instigated the war, but it turned out that this person does not actually control both continents.
Isn't it contradictory to provoke a war between two clans, yet have no ambition? Some things still need to be confronted with Chaos. What exactly happened back then?
