After reading the memory of the Golden Lawgiver Progenitor, Lin Xun’s expression turned extremely grave.

“Disorder… Disorder again. Even a main god as powerful as Omniscient True Knowledge cannot contend against Disorder?”

The Golden Lawgiver Progenitor’s memory could not be false. Omniscient True Knowledge should have foreseen the coming of Disorder long ago.

Before the second god war, He had already made an agreement with the six great ancient dragons to seal the power of the ancient dragons, all for the sake of preventing the erosion of Disorder.

But clearly, sealing the power of the ancient dragons and suppressing the six great ancient dragons until they were left with only the demigod realm still could not stop the erosion of Disorder. At best, it could only slightly delay the coming of Disorder.

The Hermit Progenitor was the first ancient dragon to be eroded by Disorder. In order to escape Disorder, the Golden Lawgiver Progenitor could only betray it’s oath and throw itself into the embrace of the stars.

“According to what the emerald half-dragon said, it seems that only the Golden Lawgiver lineage were ancient dragons who truly betrayed Omniscient True God.”

“Then what about the other ancient dragons? Have they also already been eroded by Disorder by now…”

“If even subordinate gods have become like this, then what about Omniscient True Knowledge Himself? What state is He in now?”

Lin Xun did not know how Omniscient True Knowledge’s resistance against Disorder was progressing, but from the end of the second god war until now, Omniscient True Knowledge had remained asleep and had never awakened. That alone showed that… this incomparably powerful main god was not in good condition.

“I thought this was a huge favorable game, but now it seems the terror of Disorder is hundreds or thousands of times worse than the likes of the Abyss and the stars… As expected of the Hell Difficulty of this hellish game. Where would any favorable game come from?”

“How am I supposed to win…”

“Use the identity of the Abyss Child to obtain the two great Authorities bestowed by the Abyss?”

Not to mention that the main god Gloomy Abyss was extremely stingy, and the Abyss Authority it had given so far was still just a one-time defective product. Even if the Abyss really gave him both great Authorities… no, even if the Abyss went personally, would It stand any chance against Disorder, which even Omniscient True Knowledge could not contend with?

“The skill description of the Hermit bloodline might be an entry point. If I can obtain the inheritances of the remaining four great ancient dragons… damn it! It still feels completely hopeless!”

Disorder was so terrifying that even a powerful main god like Omniscient True Knowledge could not contend with it, yet this hellish game was making weak Apostles save the world. Lin Xun racked his brains for a long time, only to discover sorrowfully that he simply could not find any way to win.

“For now, I can only take it one step at a time and focus on getting stronger first!”

[At this moment, the tightly bound Rona is still unconscious. The ropes tightly outline her graceful figure. Looking at those fully revealed enticing curves, what is your next action?]

[1. An oathbreaker should receive severe punishment. You decide to educate the Omniscient True God-betraying Great Sage Rona with a rod, letting her properly reflect on her mistakes amid the surging dense Knowledge.]

[2. An oathbreaker must have been lured by profit. You decide, in your identity as the Abyss Child, to torture Rona harshly and force her to reveal what benefits the stars gave her.]

[3. An oathbreaker may have had her own difficulties. You decide, in your identity as the True God’s Envoy, to speak frankly with Rona and ask her about the secret of why she turned to the embrace of the stars.]

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xun decided to face Rona first as the Abyss Child.

At present, there was no knowing whether Rona was playing double agent and infiltrating the star camp, or had truly changed her faith and become a lackey of the star camp.

If the truth was the latter, then exposing his identity as the True God’s Envoy would not be a good choice.

[You pat Rona’s face. Stimulated, her eyelids tremble, and she slowly awakens…]

[Before she even opens her eyes, she subconsciously reaches out with one hand, wanting to grab the staff that never leaves her side.]

[However, she grasps only empty air. Failing to seize the familiar staff, she jolts awake…]

[Seeing herself bound in such a humiliating way, and facing you who clearly harbor ill intent, her expression turns cold, as though she is about to make some other move…]

[Seeing this, you say flatly, stop wasting your strength. A restraint personally completed by the Abyss Lust Demon Overlord, is it something so easy to break free from?]

[If she refuses to answer your questions truthfully, then she should save her strength for the punishment later, so that you do not lose interest.]

[She stares fixedly at your appearance, then suddenly says, so you really are the rumored Abyss Child? Since when could a goat-horn demon become a leading figure ruling the Abyss?]

[You let out a cold laugh and are just about to make her understand the price of offending you, when Rona suddenly blurts out: Why are you alone? Where is your maid doll?]

[Hearing this, you are startled. Seeing your expression, Rona lets out a long breath of relief, then stares straight at you with both eyes. That complicated gaze makes your scalp crawl.]

“…No way, before I even finished enjoying the roleplay, I already gave myself away?”

The maid doll Rona spoke of was of course Valkyrie. She had obviously already recognized Lin Xun’s true identity.

[Rona seems to see the doubt in your heart. She continues, do you know? Ever since we parted last time, she has looked forward to reuniting with you countless times. She never expected you would make her wait so long…]

[Seeing that Rona has already recognized your identity, you simply stop pretending and ask her why she changed her faith and joined the Polar Star Society.]

[Rona does not immediately answer your question. Instead, she says that before she answers, could you untie the ropes first?]

[You do not immediately untie her either, and instead shake your head and reply that unless she answers your question truthfully first, given her current stance, you have no reason to release her restraints.]

[Hearing this, Rona lets out a soft laugh and says, as expected of the True God’s Envoy, your faith is still so firm and loyal… do you think she is a disgraceful deserter who betrayed her oath?]

[After that, Rona begins telling you about her experiences over these years…]

[She is completely immersed in that stretch of past memories, recounting them to you word by word, making you empathize deeply…]

[…]

[After parting with you twenty-five years ago, I went alone to the Imperial Capital to continue my studies…]

[In that distant and remote city, I was the most knowledgeable Grand Scholar beneath the President, but after arriving at the Imperial Capital, according to its academic degree divisions, I could only barely count as an Elite Scholar.]

[Above Elite Scholar was Bachelor, and only then Grand Scholar, Scribe, Great Scribe, and even Sage and Great Sage…]

[My Scholar talent was indeed not bad, but that was only in comparison to distant and remote Sophia City. Now that I was in the Imperial Capital, I could only count as a completely ordinary multivision Scholar.]

[When I first arrived in the Imperial Capital, that time spent striving to learn Knowledge was both beautiful and despairing.]

[It was beautiful because immersing myself in the ocean of Knowledge made body and mind joyful, and gave a particularly fulfilling sense of satisfaction. That was also one of my purposes for coming to the Imperial Capital for advanced study.]

[No one is willing to be a frog sitting at the bottom of a well, seeing only a small patch of sky. I was the same.]

[But the Imperial Capital lacked nothing except talented Scholars. Compared with other even more outstanding Scholars, my talent could only be described as mediocre.]

[Perhaps even if I exhausted my entire lifetime, I still might not be able to attain the status of Grand Scholar again.]
