[After the Direct Vision Great Prophet finished telling the prophecy, it left the workshop and returned to the Imperial Capital.]

[And its heart, which had gone out and burned to ash, began to beat vigorously again because of the Great Prophet’s prophecy.]

[It patiently waited in the workshop, continuing to polish its device craft that could no longer advance even an inch. This wait lasted twenty five years.]

[Today, now, you the True God’s Envoy have finally arrived.]

[Coleman stared at you with burning fanaticism, making your whole body feel ill at ease as it waited for the great enlightenment that the True God’s Envoy would bestow upon it.]

[As long as it could receive enlightenment from the True God’s Envoy, it would be able to surpass the predecessors’ limit, complete the mission given by the true Lord, and walk toward the end of life with no regrets.]

Lin Xun could not help looking completely dumbfounded. What enlightenment? How did he have no idea what they were talking about?

[Coleman saw your expressionless face and your long silence on the spot, and that you were still not willing to grant enlightenment to its dull mind…]

[It slapped its forehead with a huge refined copper arm and suddenly realized that the great True God’s Envoy had come, yet it had not given you a meeting gift and had already greedily sought enlightenment. This was truly socially inept and extremely foolish.]

[It waved its big hand and a whole row of all kinds of refined copper devices appeared in front of you.]

[Extreme Frost Hell Trap Device (mythic grade item): After Scholars of Knowledge deciphered the magical abilities of an abyssal extreme frost demon, they replicated the demon’s powerful spell Extreme Frost Hell as a magic formation and used a refined copper device as the carrier, personally crafted into a powerful trap device by Master Coleman.]

[By driving the trap device, you can trigger the trap under preset conditions and cast the powerful magic Extreme Frost Hell upon your enemy.]

[Current remaining energy in the trap device 100/100]

[Lava Purgatory Trap Device (mythic grade item): After Scholars of Knowledge deciphered the magical abilities of an abyssal lava demon, they turned the demon’s powerful spell Lava Purgatory…]

[Current remaining energy in the trap device 100/100]

[Supernova Eruption Trap Device (mythic grade item): After Scholars of Knowledge deciphered stellar magic abilities…]

[Endless Flood of Knowledge Trap Device (mythic+ grade item): The magic formation engraved inside this trap device is extremely complex and profound. It is the ultimate secret spell of the Scholars of Knowledge, Endless Flood of Knowledge!]

[The fearsome power of this spell is enough to annihilate every enemy standing in your way. Its might is extremely great, so please use it with caution!]

[Current remaining energy in the trap device 100/100]

[Facing blessings from heaven falling into your lap as an Apostle, which device will you choose as your meeting gift?]

Lin Xun widened his eyes, hardly able to believe that happiness had come so suddenly.

The ultimate secret spell called Endless Flood of Knowledge sounded incredibly awesome just from its name, and on top of that, it surpassed the other mythic grade trap devices to reach the extremely high grade of mythic+.

“Is this even a question? Obviously I should pick the last one.”

Lin Xun was just about to press that option when his hand suddenly stopped.

“Only little kids do multiple choice. Of course I want all of them. Is there a way for me to pocket all of these trap devices?”

Lin Xun fell into thought, pondering how he could sweep all of the rewards into his bag.

His eyes spun and he immediately came up with a cheeky move.

[You are just about to brainwash Coleman no, you are just about to reason with Coleman, when you hear the door behind you bang open as it is smashed by tremendous force.]

[A group of people stride straight into the workshop.]

[You look closely and see that they are all Scholars of the Direct Vision School.]

[The leader is dignified and deep, and as he walks, countless tiny characters emerge and vanish around him. From the aura he exudes you can tell that his strength is unbelievably great.]

[You notice that among the people behind him is also a familiar face, the ‘Sage’ you previously saw at the manor.]

[Several Scholars dressed as Sages all hang half a step behind him, half trotting to keep up.]

[You discover the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Vision Branch Association Grand Scholar Direct Vision Great Sage!]

[This is your first time seeing the Direct Vision Great Sage’s appearance. Your Knowledge stat increases by 30,000! Current Knowledge stat: 39,000/43,800!]

Damn, that almost exploded my head again. I thought gaining Knowledge from seeing a Sage was already a lot, but I never expected someone even more ferocious than a Sage. Whose general is this?

Wait, where are my Nine-Tailed Fox and Valkyrie?

[The Direct Vision Great Sage leads the group into the workshop, and behind him follow those hall Scholars you had humiliated in every way.]

[The Scholars point at you and shout loudly. Lord, yes, it is this coarse swordsman, this damned swordsman who killed a Grand Scholar, killed many of them, and even humiliated them, saying all sorts of filthy words that are hard to repeat.]

[The many Scholars are boiling with indignation, denouncing you behind the Great Sage and wishing they could skin you and tear out your bones to vent the hatred in their hearts.]

[The Direct Vision Great Sage turns his icy gaze on you, a chilling killing intent ready to burst forth.]

[You feel an extremely heavy pressure.]

Lin Xun’s mouth twitched. So after killing the small fry, the elder had come?

[You notice that several of the later Scholars are escorting the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Valkyrie. They are imprisoned in an incomparably solid Knowledge Barrier. No matter how they struggle, they are unable to break free of the binding.]

[Coleman sees this scene and hurriedly shouts that this is a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. This person who appears to be a swordsman is actually the envoy sent down by the true Lord, the noble and great True God’s Envoy!]

[You also say coldly, what, you see the great True God’s Envoy and still do not kneel to welcome him, are you trying to profane the true Lord?]

[The Scholars all immediately retort. Master Coleman, have you gotten senile? How could this person possibly be the True God’s Envoy?]

[Right, even if our Lord truly sent down an envoy, that person would surely be one of profound learning, not some coarse swordsman.]

[Exactly, exactly. Master, you must have been deceived by this man!] 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

[Coleman is so anxious that sweat breaks out on his head, but his voice is drowned out by the denunciations of the many Scholars.]

[Suddenly, the Sage you saw at the manor steps out of the line, stares fixedly at you, and says loudly, Lord, this man is a heretic who worships the outside evil god that chases the stars. He once captured this man at the Polar Star Society’s temporary stronghold and struck him dead.]

[Who could have thought that this man had faked his death and escaped, and has now snuck into the workshop to bewitch Master Coleman and try to cheat him out of these precious refined copper devices.]

[Several Scholars who had taken part in the battle to wipe out the manor also recognize you after being reminded by the Sage, and they all point you out as an evil heretic.]

[The Direct Vision Great Sage has already come to a decision. With a point of his staff, he causes Coleman, who is arguing with all his might and sweating profusely, to freeze in place. Its limbs cannot move, and its open mouth can no longer make any sound.]

[The Direct Vision Great Sage does not conceal in the slightest his cold killing intent toward you and loudly declares that you deceived Master Coleman, killed several association Scholars, and moreover secretly threw yourself in with the Polar Star Society and became a heretical follower of an evil god.]

[Simply dying would no longer be enough to pay for the crimes you have committed. He will lock you in the Time Prison so that you can experience the harshest punishment in the world, and in the end he will execute you.]
