Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 976 - 455: The True Method of Interpreting Prophecies (Additional - for ’Update But Not Kill’ Alliance Leader)_2
[He wanted to become the unprecedented, triune Main God.]
[Omniscience won’t wake up, the only god the millions of scholars can rely on, the Knowledge god servant who represents Omniscience to lead the world’s knowledge, has become our greatest enemy... This is truly the most despairing matter!]
"The son of Abyss is not me, but the Knowledge god servant..."
"The Knowledge god servant has been assimilated by the Abyss, becoming the son of Abyss..."
Lin Xun’s face was full of shock as if he just woke from a dream.
The son of Abyss indeed could obtain the Authority of both the Stars and Abyss, but the actual son of Abyss wasn’t him, it was the Knowledge god servant who had been assimilated by the Abyss!
To the Servant, facing each of those remaining Star Gods was like a man dying of thirst seeing bottles of poison, knowing that drinking it would lead to death, yet still couldn’t help but drink it desperately.
Compared to waiting for the Stars and Abyss to fully return and initiate the inevitable third war of Gods, drinking poison to quench thirst at least preserves the ’Omniscient Authority’ for the master, making Omniscient Authority part of the new triune Abyss.
This was an unsolvable situation, no matter what choice the Servant made, he couldn’t win this war.
Maybe from the moment he fled from the Abyss to the star exile and encountered the Stars, the end had already been determined.
"How the hell can I play this?"
"If even the Servant has become the enemy, then what the hell am I even playing for!"
Lin Xun couldn’t help but curse out loud.
When your own camp’s most powerful gods have become the enemy, the current situation can only be described as surrounded on all sides, a complete absence of any chance of victory.
"No, the Underworld Game would never present a dead end, there must still be a glimmer of hope!"
Lin Xun thought hard, but all his thinking seemed futile.
Apostles, relying solely on their strength, would find it very difficult to complete the Save the World mission in a Chapter.
After all, even the most powerful among the Apostles were of ’Eternity’ True God caliber, trying to arm-wrestle with the ’Supreme’ Main Gods was too unrealistic.
For Apostles to complete the Save the World mission, not only did they need to be strong themselves, but they also had to leverage the strength of allied factions and relevant characters in the plot.
But what if the strongest god in your own camp raises the white flag and defects to the enemy? How then can you leverage any situation, how then can you save the world?
[...]
[You help Rona, who is slumping on the ground, up, wanting to say some words of comfort, but can’t utter a single phrase.]
[Because you, too, feel the deep powerlessness and despair...]
[Struggling to muster up some spirit, you say to ’Rona,’ do you still remember the two prophecies about you?]
[Perhaps the prophecy where you are the savior will come true, where you could awaken the Almighty True Knowledge, and let the world be reborn at the brink of its destruction...]
[Rona speaks softly, don’t you understand yet?]
[The prophecy is an oath of allegiance to the Abyss made by the Knowledge god servant after becoming the son of the Abyss, through the mouths of the two Great Prophets...]
[You recall those two prophecies, analysing every word and sentence...]
[...]
[An outsider leaves his homeland, travels through stars, worlds, dimensions, and arrives here, becoming the messenger of a great existence.]
[The beaten heretics hidden among the stars, because of his arrival, rise again.]
[The ancient beings fallen beneath the earth, because of his coming, resuscitate and are reborn.]
[He is not the savior, he is the root cause of the world’s destruction!]
[...]
[Suddenly, you realize that this prophecy could correspond point by point with the divine orders of the Abyss.]
[The Stars will return to their place, the Abyss will revive and be reborn, but the great existence you awakened is not the Almighty True Knowledge, but a new Evil God, a composite of the ’Abyss,’ ’Stars,’ and even parts of the Almighty True Knowledge!]
[The new Evil God, in order to purge Chaos, will destroy the entire world, turning the world into a scorched wasteland of destruction and scars!]
[...]
[An outsider leaves his homeland, travels through stars, worlds, dimensions, and arrives here, becoming the messenger of a great existence.]
"[The evil heresy hidden among the stars, plotting for a comeback, was extinguished and fell due to his arrival.]"
"[The ancient existence that collapsed underground, trying to resurrect from the dead, was once again obliterated upon his coming.]"
"[He is the savior, he is the light of redemption for all people!]"
"[...]"
"[You despairingly discover that this prophecy also corresponds precisely with the oracles of the Abyss.]"
"[The old Stars and the old Abyss will cease to exist, you witnessed their destruction, and even more, you witnessed Them being reborn into new Evil Gods through the body of the ’Child of the Abyss’!]"
"[The Triune Evil God will cleanse Chaos, destroy the existing world, and establish a New World, turning the scarred wasteland into a New World flowing with milk and honey.]"
"[You are indeed the savior, but unfortunately, you are not the savior of the Old World...]"
"[Since the birth of the New World is considered a ’Save the World’ success, this uncertain future will become an irrevocable fact, and so all of this is because of you.]"
"[You are the root of the Old World’s destruction, and you are the savior of the New World!]"
"This... This prophecy is interpreted in this way."
If the birth of the New World is also considered ’Saving the World’, then the prophecy’s statement that ’everything is due to his arrival’ fully holds true.
Because a successful salvation will turn the pre-enacted future into a true ending!
Just like numerous dried-up riverbeds, only one of them can flow towards the ultimate ocean.
The Apostles entering each Chapter are like new waters poured into a river, and choosing the wrong branch riverbed will not merge into the sea, making the ending an irrevocable reality.
Only by pouring into that one branch named ’Saving the World’ can it rush into the ocean and cement the salvation’s ending as the true one.
"[As one who witnessed everything, you, who have cemented this pre-enacted future into a true ending, are the greatest contributor to the new Evil God’s successful world destruction and recreation.]" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"[Perhaps it is because of such a great achievement that you will become the new Evil God, that is, the ’True God’s Apostle’, thereby completing the prophecy’s final loop.]"
Lin Xun sighed deeply.
He didn’t have to do anything to complete the ’Save the World’ ending, which seemed like a not-so-bad thing.
But the Underworld Game will surely not give a high rating, just as in the Evil God World, where the Apostles could just stay on Tisi Island doing nothing and still wait for the ’God of Dance’ to be corrupted by the Evil God, thus reaching the ending with the fall of Sakura.
Now he also doesn’t have to do anything to welcome the ending of the world destruction and recreation by the Triune New Evil God, and like the Evil God World, he is unable to change this already predetermined ending.
"No... the original Evil God World still had a glimmer of true hope for salvation, only I didn’t catch the most critical opportunity."
"There must also be an opportunity now to change the ending, to truly save the world; I just haven’t seen where it is, or maybe I already did see it, but just like I missed the Sly Ghost, I didn’t pay attention."
Lin Xun thought carefully, where could he look for a chance to save the world when he had no opportunity to turn the tables in the presence of the Abyss and Stars, even the Knowledge god servant?
After much consideration, the only thing that seemed worth trying now was the Ancient dragon lineage.
"[...]"
"[You perk up and swear to ’Rona’ that you have found the key to breaking the situation!]"
"[Although you have no confidence in yourself, you still pretend to be full of it.]"
"[You possess the ’Shell’ of the ’Primordial Hermit seeking knowledge’!]"
"[You show Rona this Shell that contains the ’Hermit Ancestor’s’ bloodline, telling her you need to head to the headquarters of the Polar Star Association to find the imprisoned Dragon Clan Ancestor and gain Their heritage bloodline.]"
"[This is the only hope for breaking the situation now!]"
"[’Rona’, seeing you in this form, is not at all surprised.]"
"[You thought it was unconscious when it was tied up in the cave, but in fact, it woke up long ago and saw you changing into the Dragon Human Shell and devouring Ancient dragon blood to level up.]"
"[Such ability to change Shells, it has only seen on former ’True God’s Apostles’, otherwise, it would not suspect you for no reason to be the ’True God’s Apostle’.]"
"[’Rona’ closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and when she opens her eyes again, she is back to being that composed and calm female Scholar, and she says to you...]"
"[It knows the hope is slim, but as long as you haven’t given up, it has no reason to give up.]"
"[If you have made up your mind to find the ’Five Ancient Dragons’, then you might need to leave immediately... because the situation of the Dragon Clan Ancestors is dire, They could die at any moment, especially since the ’Executor’ has already been severely injured by you and urgently needs treatment to recover.]"
