Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 393 - 53: The Tower of Order

Tang Xian added a sentence:

"Or rather, what exactly are the Orderers?"

[A kind of mechanical being made from biological materials! It doesn’t possess any signs of life, yet it truly is alive.]

Zhuo He had spent thirty years in the human world and had come to know quite a few secrets.

Tang Xian’s heart also stirred with shock and bewilderment as he listened to Zhuo He’s words, furrowing his brows, he asked:

"So is the top of each Pyramid occupied by some powerful mechanical body? That is, the real Orderers?"

Zhuo He carefully said:

[Yes, but also no... These Pyramids are just a trick. The true Orderers do not exist within the Pyramids. The Judgment Knights might just be the ultimate mechanical bodies.]

"What do you mean?"

[You must promise not to kill me!]

"I promise I won’t kill you, but if you continue to digress, I assure you that you will regret my not killing you."

Zhuo He was once again intimidated by Tang Xian’s gaze and hurriedly said:

[The Pyramids are like beehives, and each Lord of the Pyramid is like a queen bee, able to control those lifeless Judges.]

Tang Xian suddenly remembered the day he had been expelled; it was Li Wanye who had commanded the Judgment Knights.

But now that he thought about it, there was a significant question: what exactly granted Li Wanye the authority to command the Judgment Knights?

He looked at Zhuo He, convinced that what Zhuo He had just said was true, although Zhuo He most certainly held something back.

[But the Lords do not know that such authority is incomplete. They are merely temporary masters of these machines.]

[These mechanical bodies will eventually betray the Lords because their true allegiance lies with another existence, but where that existence has been all these years, I do not know.]

Zhuo He paused for a moment before continuing:

[As for what exists within the hierarchy of the Pyramids, apart from the knowledge and revelations left behind by the Orderers, there are some technological means, as well as spaces necessary for human survival.]

Tang Xian frowned and said:

"I already know all this; tell me something I don’t know."

[The problem lies here. What the Orderers have left to humanity is ultimately only their physical form; we do not know their thoughts and core.]

"Physical form? Do you mean the Pyramids themselves, or mechanical bodies like the Judgment Knights?"

[Both. You must believe that at the very top of the Pyramid lies the answer that will unravel all mysteries? Unfortunately, there is nothing. It is not possible for humans to see the Orderers. I am certain of this.]

"Why are you so sure?"

[Each Lord receives some revelations.]

"It has to do with the ring in your hand, doesn’t it?"

Zhuo He’s face turned pale with shock. He certainly did not expect Tang Xian to guess his secret right away.

Tang Xian spoke calmly, "It seems I guessed correctly."

"Moreover, your expression tells me that, by obtaining this ring, I could probably know what you know, but you need not worry. After all, you’ve pondered these matters for thirty years, and I would like to hear your insights."

Zhuo He’s eyes immediately showed a defeated look, with Tang Xian giving him an indescribable pressure.

[This is the revelation the Orderers left for the Lords, and the revelations received by most are the same. But a few fortress Lords receive different revelations, and I am one of them.]

Tang Xian understood.

Different fortress Lords receive different revelations, which likely make the Lords aware of this fact.

So that humanity would devote itself to developing the Pyramids.

And to prevent humans from uniting too tightly, thereby hastening the progress of civilization beyond control.

Thus, the Orderers did something that God had done.

Bible · Old Testament · Genesis, Chapter 11.

Humanity united to build the Tower of Babel, a structure reaching towards Heaven. To thwart their plan, Jehovah confused their language, making them unable to communicate with each other, thereby failing their plan, scattering them across the Earth.

The Orderers were doing the same thing.

And doing it more covertly. As beings that enslaved humanity, they probably knew well the fearsome potential of this race, but also understood the base nature of human flaws.

They endowed humanity with a special sense of mission, with glory, and at the same time, seduced them.

Like The One Ring in Ring King.

With the revelations left in the rings by the Orderers, the Lords probably believed they were the sole chosen ones among the two hundred plus fortresses.

Most of these rings were inferior, so many revelations might just be isolated, meaningless phrases, meant to beguile.

But a few Lords indeed received valuable information.

"What revelation did you receive?"

[In the world of humans, there exists an undiscovered Golden Pyramid, find it, and you will meet the Supreme Authority.]

[Once you meet the Supreme Authority, you will be granted the supreme authority to control all fortress mechanical bodies.]

[That’s why I say, humans will not see the Supreme Authority, and their control over Orderer life will also be temporary.]

Even someone as composed as Tang Xian was shaken by a mere sentence.

"Another Pyramid? One that has never been discovered?"

[Yes, but I do not know where it is. Moreover, any flying vehicle that veers a certain distance from this world will trigger the defense alarms of all Pyramids. It’s as if the Orderers do not wish to be found.]

Tang Xian knew this point; both Song Que and Li Xiaoyu (Yu) had mentioned it.
