[A powerful wandering soul is reborn within a ruined dwelling…]

[The ordinary wandering soul is filled with chaotic, disordered Knowledge and cannot move freely.]

[Do you wish to consume 1 point of soul strength to clear the chaotic Knowledge from your soul?]

[Current soul strength 1/1 (6)]

Lin Xun looked speechlessly at the text before his eyes.

After using Beginning of the Holy Spirit once again, his soul strength, which had originally recovered to 5/5, instantly dropped to 1/1.

For him, who possessed many main combat Shells, this was not much of a problem. As long as he did not reshape a shell, he would not consume that last point of soul strength. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Even if he died in the game, he could still continue progressing by possessing another main combat Shell.

However, in the special chapter World of Omniscience, dying from a head explosion caused by excessive Knowledge stat required spending an additional point of soul strength to cleanse the Disorder within the soul.

When the Knowledge stat exceeded the critical point by too much, it would cost not just one point of soul strength.

At this moment, Lin Xun only had 1/1 soul strength left, leaving him completely stumped. Apart from waiting for his strength cap to recover, he had no other way to continue playing.

He was not worried about Rona, though. Rona had already advanced to godhood. With the Executor dead, she could probably wipe out the entire Polar Star Society Headquarters by herself.

Moreover, before dying, he had already given the Polar Star Society Wax Seal to Rona. Even if it was inconvenient for Rona to act personally, she could still use the power of the Star Annihilation Magic Formation to exterminate the Polar Star Society and bring the Star High Priest under control.

“Come to think of it, it really is strange. Even a main god as powerful as Omniscient True Knowledge could not rid himself of Disorder, but on my side it only takes soul strength to cleanse it.”

“Damn… Could it be that this is exactly why I can become the True God’s Envoy?”

A string of thoughts flashed through Lin Xun’s mind like lightning.

He muttered, “It all seems to line up now…”

“It is precisely because I can cleanse Disorder so effortlessly that I am the so-called only hope of this world!”

“Every time my head explodes, I can see Omniscient True Knowledge… Actually, it is not that I am seeing Omniscient True Knowledge, but that Omniscient True Knowledge is looking at me, analyzing me!”

“He is watching me cleanse Disorder!”

“He is analyzing how I cleanse Disorder!”

Immediately afterward, a horrifying thought arose in Lin Xun’s heart.

His method of cleansing Disorder came entirely from The Book of Salvation. If Omniscient True Knowledge was watching him cleanse Disorder, and was analyzing the source of the means by which he cleansed Disorder.

Then to what extent had Omniscient True Knowledge analyzed it, and had the analysis succeeded?

If Omniscient True Knowledge’s analysis had made progress, did that mean He already knew of the existence of The Book of Salvation, and perhaps had even already analyzed the coordinates of reality?

Omniscient True Knowledge had descended into this world in order to cleanse Disorder, but regardless of the reason, in essence He was still an invader through and through.

From the Abyss’s perspective, Omniscient True Knowledge was the greatest evil god!

If Omniscient True Knowledge were to learn of the existence of The Book of Salvation and the coordinates of the real world by analyzing him.

If the so-called final and only hope was not Lin Xun, but The Book of Salvation behind Lin Xun.

Then this incomparably powerful main god had invaded the world of the Abyss when unable to cleanse Disorder, so He would certainly also invade the real world when unable to cleanse Disorder, in search of that final and only hope!

Omniscient True Knowledge was the strongest main god Lin Xun had seen so far. If Omniscient True Knowledge were thrown into the Firefly world, the Desire Wet Nurse probably would not last even a single exchange.

If someone said other main gods could not sense the existence of The Book of Salvation, Lin Xun could still believe it. But if someone said this main god could not analyze any information about him, he absolutely did not believe it.

If this main god, who wielded countless authorities and powers, crossed the endless starry sky and reached the real world, what kind of terrifying scene would that be?

Who could stop Him? No one could stop Him!

Lin Xun looked at the simple text interface on his phone screen. Hidden behind such concise words were terrifying evil gods lying in ambush in the dark.

He took several deep breaths, calmed himself, and continued thinking.

“What exactly is Disorder, and why can even a main god as powerful as Omniscient True Knowledge not cleanse it, while The Book of Salvation can cleanse it so easily?”

Did that mean that the level of existence of The Book of Salvation was far higher than Omniscient True Knowledge?

That Omniscient True Knowledge could not possibly analyze the existence of The Book of Salvation, nor the existence of the real-world coordinates?

At first, Lin Xun had thought the same. After all, The Book of Salvation could let Apostles descend into various worlds to simulate and rehearse all kinds of methods of salvation. It seemed unimaginably high-level.

But a certain plotline he had experienced left him doubtful.

It was when he had explained the scientific laws of the real world to the Knowledge-Seeking Legendary Device Master – Coleman, and was urgently stopped by the Servant of Knowledge, then summoned to the Temple of Knowledge for a conversation.

He clearly remembered that the Servant of Knowledge had said that the scientific laws he described, the scientific laws from the real world, were a kind of knowledge filled with Disorder.

The Servant of Knowledge’s exact words had been: “The Knowledge you describe is indeed true Knowledge that the true Lord has never analyzed, but it contains far, far too much Disorder.”

“Such vast and complicated Disorder would only accumulate to this degree after a world has been destroyed.”

“After the true Lord fell into slumber, He attempted to purify Himself and continuously expel Disorder, which is why this world became filled with Disorder. But even the amount of Disorder in this world is far less than that of your homeland.”

“The amount of Disorder in the Knowledge you describe has already exceeded a certain critical point. The world you come from absolutely could not bear that much Disorder, so your homeland can have no ending other than destruction.”

Judging by that vast and complicated degree of Disorder, the Servant of Knowledge believed that the real world should have been destroyed long ago.

Lin Xun thought carefully. “The Servant of Knowledge said the real world is filled with far too much Disorder. Why can The Book of Salvation easily cleanse the Disorder on Apostles, yet still leave so much Disorder in the real world?”

He could not help but think of a possibility, much like how Omniscient True Knowledge created the Beast of Disordered Knowledge to devour the Disorder from the Servant of Knowledge and transfer it onto Himself.

“Could it be that The Book of Salvation is not actually cleansing Disorder at all? In truth, even The Book of Salvation cannot cleanse Disorder!”

“The Book of Salvation is merely transferring the Disorder from the Apostles into the real world, using a method similar to the Beast of Disordered Knowledge…”

“If that is really the truth, then Disorder exists on a level even higher than The Book of Salvation?”

Having deduced such a conclusion, Lin Xun found it absurd on one hand, yet scalp-numbing on the other.

If reality was indeed filled with Disorder as the Servant of Knowledge had said, and if the reason the real world contained so much Disorder was indeed because The Book of Salvation could not cleanse it and could only transfer it…

Then The Book of Salvation might be a bit higher in level than Omniscient True Knowledge, but not by much, because both were equally helpless against Disorder.

Disorder was the highest-level existence, an existence even The Book of Salvation was powerless against.

Taking the thought further, if his speculation was correct, then since The Book of Salvation could use transfer methods to move Disorder from Apostles into the real world.

Could it also use Apostles, those airborne troops that descended into various worlds, to transfer and scatter Disorder into other worlds?

Or, to take it one step more into conspiracy theory, perhaps The Book of Salvation was not for salvation at all…

“Hah… If only I also had Analysis Authority.”

Lin Xun rubbed his brow, feeling that the more he thought about it, the more chilling it became.

Only three days later did his soul strength recover to 2/2 (6).

At last, Lin Xun could cleanse the Disorder in his soul and continue the game.

But he did not immediately continue clearing the chapter. Instead, after cleansing the Disorder, he directly touched the Resting Page and teleported back to the library.
