Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 922 - 433: The Scapegoat Deity, Chaos of the Real World_2

Chapter 922: Chapter 433: The Scapegoat Deity, Chaos of the Real World_2

The followers of Almighty True Knowledge all frantically pursued knowledge, so how could Lin Xun, a servant of God who had usurped the authority of the Main Gods, remain indifferent at the sight of a brand-new knowledge that was almost close to the truth?

At this thought, Lin Xun wished he could slap himself.

He had sacrificed a shell filled with malice to the Wet Nurse, allowing her at most to traverse the endless stars in search of the "Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit" for a one-on-one challenge.

Given the level of power displayed by the Wet Nurse, she would definitely get rubbed into the ground by the Evil God, over and over, a hundred times no less.

Even if the Wet Nurse won and destroyed another world, it would merely be a Chapter world disappearing from the game, irrelevant to the real world that Lin Xun inhabited.

But now?

The Servant of God was asking about his real hometown, about the world that had discovered and summarized the knowledge of truth.

If the Servant of God also harbored thoughts of wandering the endless stars after the world’s destruction,

Then the world he inhabited, containing a new truth, would definitely be the Servant of God’s top choice for a new home!

[The "Servant of God" looks at you with a complex expression, waiting for your answer...]

Lin Xun’s mind raced as he contemplated how to respond to the Servant of God’s question.

He recalled the "advanced science fiction world" he had once retreated from in a second, a Chapter world whose technological advancements surpassed that of the Blue Planet by thousands of times and had already reached the stage of interstellar colonization.

Before retreating, Lin Xun had conveniently taken a shell given at the start, and through the memories in the shell, he could broadly understand the background of the Chapter world.

At this moment, he strained to recall the memories seen within that shell, ready to use the background of that science fiction world to mask his own reality.

"I’m truly sorry, a Taoist priest flees death while a fellow Taoist faces it..."

It was then Lin Xun finally understood the act of leading calamity away performed by the "Book of Salvation"; he would have done the same.

[You cautiously answer that your homeland’s science and technology are extremely advanced, having reached the level where ordinary people can travel through obstructions separating worlds and arrive among the stars simply by riding in a vehicle akin to a "Refined Copper Carriage"...]

[The "Servant of God" seems very interested and gestures for you to continue.]

Lin Xun took a deep breath, preparing to shift the blame.

[Under the gaze of the "Servant of God", you continue telling your story...]

[In your homeland’s world, there is no concept of a country; the entire world is controlled by a single political body known as the "Humanity United Community", which is a joint political entity voluntarily formed by the various continents.]

[Its aim is to expand into the interstellar outer space and develop more colonies. With the same external goals, the continents were able to unite and form a single political body...]

[At first, once your home world achieved the technological level to explore the stars, it began frantically exploring worlds beyond its own.]

[This led to an accelerated depletion of its energy resources, causing prices for basic living materials needed by the populace to skyrocket, and various ethnic issues and regional conflicts were incessant...]

[In the face of a severe resource and energy crisis, the "Humanity United" created the "Eternal Faith" to give the people something to believe in and successfully diverted the attention of the lower classes.]

[The religion’s sacred text, the "Eternal Canon," described mysterious existences called "Eternal Stones" within the endless stars, possessing unlimited energy sources. The text claimed that finding the "Eternal Stones" could solve all of humanity’s current problems!]

[The common people were fooled into becoming fervent believers; they not only stopped opposing the "Humanity United" interstellar colonization plan but actively joined it, becoming pioneers in space, searching for the "Eternal Stone" fictionalized in the "Eternal Canon".]

[Your homeland, which was supposed to perish after exhausting its resources, did not expect that people would indeed find an "Eternal Stone" on a certain star!]

[With the acquisition of the "Eternal Stone," technology in your homeland made rapid progress, and the series of problems caused by the serious resource crisis were alleviated.]

[Suddenly, "Eternal Faith" became the only orthodox religion of your homeland, and even those high-ranking humans who had originally fabricated the "Eternal Faith" began to truly believe in the records of the "Eternal Canon", completely forgetting that it was originally a work of fiction.]

[The "Eternal Faith" gradually replaced the "Humanity United" in ruling the world, which slowly transformed from a united political entity to a religious one...]

[In search of more "Eternal Stones" to completely solve the energy issue, your homeland officially entered the era of interstellar colonization...]

[But no one realized that within the "Eternal Stone" not only did it hold infinite energy, but it also nurtured an extremely terrifying Evil God...]

[You stopped there involuntarily because the only memories you had of the Shell were limited to this.]

[If you wanted to narrate more about the background of your ’hometown,’ you would have to make it up on the spot...]

[After listening to your story, the ’Servant of God’ slowly spoke. You answered its questions truthfully, without fabricating anything; you used your real memories to talk about the situation in your hometown...]

Lin Xun’s heart finally settled down.

He quietly let out a sigh of relief.

[The ’Servant of God’ suddenly showed a look of sympathy, comforting you by saying it could feel the deep-seated hatred in your memories. It seemed that you must have unwillingly followed that Evil God and wandered the endless cosmos only after your hometown was destroyed...]

Lin Xun was taken aback. What hatred? He was unaware of any.

Oh, it was the hatred from the memories of the Shell. No problem then.

"Because my hometown was destroyed and I was forced to follow the Evil God through the endless stars, this explanation is watertight—why didn’t I think of that..."

"Wait, how did the Servant of God conclude that my hometown was destroyed?"

[The ’Servant of God’ seemed to notice your confusion and began to explain. The knowledge you told ’Coleman’ is indeed a true knowledge that the True God had not yet deciphered, but it contains too much Chaos.]

[Such a vast and redundant ’Chaos’ can only be filled to this extent after the destruction of the world.]

[After the True God fell into slumber, it continued to purge Chaos, attempting to purify itself in order to awaken, causing this world to be filled with ’Chaos.’]

[But even the amount of Chaos in this world is far less than that of your hometown.]

[The Chaos content in the knowledge you shared has already surpassed a certain critical point. The world you come from couldn’t possibly endure so much Chaos; thus, apart from destruction, there was no other outcome for your hometown.]

Lin Xun’s eyes widened.

The scientific knowledge he was talking about was not plagiarized from the science fiction sections but was genuine scientific truth that existed in the real world.

According to the Servant of God, it was not the science fiction Chapters he swept aside that were destroyed under Doomsday but the real world...

"Damn... The more that’s said the more mysterious it sounds. The real world is clearly still intact, with no sign of Doomsday. Maybe these are signs that Doomsday is approaching?"

"Moreover, Chaos... Is Chaos not something that exists only in this Chapter? Where does the real world get Chaos from?"

[You couldn’t help but ask the Servant of God, what exactly is ’Chaos’?]

[However, the ’Servant of God’ did not answer your question, but continued, you need not be too distressed, as the True God will eliminate all hatred and vexation for you.]

[Where is that Evil God now?]

[Just tell it the coordinates of the God, and once the True God awakens, it will help you eliminate any lingering worries.]

[...Consider this a reward for your arduous journey and for waking the True God.]

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth. He had no idea about any coordinates; the Evil God too was something he plagiarized from the background of science fiction Chapters.

"Wait, according to the Servant of God, the Chaos content of my ’hometown’ far exceeds this world. So how could the Servant of God promise—or how could it be confident—that the Almighty True Knowledge would be able to annihilate the Evil God of my ’hometown’ upon awakening?"

"Moreover, the Servant of God seemed absolutely sure, as if the True God could easily slay my ’hometown’s’ Evil God..."

He was full of doubts, but the Servant of God showed no intention of providing answers.

[The ’Servant of God’ did not urge you but quietly waited for you to reveal the location of the Evil God.]

Lin Xun had an idea—while he did not know the whereabouts of the science-fiction Evil God.

But he did indeed encounter a truly terrifying Evil God once, whose mere gaze could drive one to madness, turning into a monster filled with Malice knowing only to slaughter.

"Since I’m to pass the buck, let’s pass it thoroughly, right... Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit!"
