[You take a deep breath, lift Scarlet King’s Sword, and launch a frenzied assault on the remaining Knowledge light walls…]

[…]

[Under your relentless slashing, two Knowledge light walls are soon shattered to pieces.]

[Only the final light wall remains in front of you, but the solidity of this defensive spell far surpasses any of the previous ones. No matter how you hack and strike, you cannot break it.]

[You realize that this light wall’s spell rank definitely exceeds mythic grade, most likely reaching mythic+ grade. Otherwise, it would already have been broken like the earlier defensive spells.]

[At this moment, your ears twitch as you faintly hear whooshing sounds from outside the storage room, as if people are rapidly approaching.]

[Sage Osborn’s ultimate secret spell is also reaching its final stage…]

[Apostle with no way out, do you want to flee the storage room immediately?]

The text of the option before his eyes was blood red and violently trembling.

This signaled that once the Sages and that Great Sage of Direct Vision arrived, his fate would be unimaginably miserable.

In that instant, countless thoughts flickered through his mind.

In the end, Lin Xun made up his mind.

[Ignoring Sage Osborn, who was still chanting his spell in front of you, you flash to the wall, reach out, and yank down the giant painting Starlight Cage hanging there.]

[Under Sage Osborn’s stunned gaze, you shoulder the enormous painting and charge toward the storage room door…]

[With the huge painting propped on one shoulder, you swing Scarlet King’s Sword in your other hand and ferociously slash at the door!]

[The defensive magic formation quivers slightly beneath your blow. At this rate, you estimate that without dozens of heavy strikes, you will not be able to break the formation and escape.]

A fierce light flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes. He opened his Inventory and directly clicked to equip Ring of Shining Stars.

[You equip Ring of Shining Stars (Special Equipment)!]

[The tiny ring erupts with dazzling radiance. That starry light seems capable of piercing all barriers, shooting straight up to the sky!]

[You have drawn the gaze of a certain great being from the Oath of the Radiant Stars faction!]

[Because your hatred and enmity values with this oath faction are extremely high, the faction will send powerful beings to hunt you relentlessly!]

[Though you are clearly indoors, a bone-deep chill climbs from the soles of your feet up your spine and straight into your skull.]

[It is as if something indescribably terrifying is descending from the heavens directly into the world.]

[Sage Osborn, not far from you, evidently senses this same extreme killing intent.]

[He breaks off his chanting and shouts in panic, What are you doing!]

[You are the True God’s Envoy! How can you once again summon the evil star gods to descend, heedless of the numerous children of the True Lord in the academy, of all these young students?!]

[You are even more evil than the stars, even more despicable than the heretics!]

[Your ears twitch as you hear the whooshing from outside suddenly cut off. The Sages and Great Sage who had been rushing over seem to have encountered that terrifying presence and are forced to abandon their plan to surround you.]

[You keep hacking at the defensive formation while retorting coldly, Oh, so you remember that I am the True God’s Envoy? Is this how you ‘devout’ believers treat the True God’s Envoy?]

[Sage Osborn’s face turns green and pale by turns, yet he cannot find words to refute you. Their actions truly have offended the True God’s Envoy.]

[The True God’s Envoy represents the True Lord’s will. Offending the Envoy is tantamount to blasphemy against the True Lord!]

[Sage Osborn is somewhat furious out of shame, but he does not dare step out from behind the protection of the Knowledge light wall. He can only stay where he is and shout loudly in justification, You understand nothing!]

[Our Direct Vision Association exists to save the whole world. The path we pursue is to awaken the True Lord while still ensuring that this beautiful world can continue to exist.]

[But you, you so-called True God’s Envoy, are the fuse that will set off the world’s destruction!]

[The Great Prophet’s prediction cannot be wrong!]

[If we can imprison and confine you, then we can preserve this beautiful world. We will not harm your life, only restrict your freedom of movement…]

[As the True God’s Envoy, why can you not consider the True Lord’s tens of millions of children, the hundreds of millions of believers?!]

Lin Xun actually laughed in anger. So just because of something that so-called Great Prophet said, they could sentence him to death?

Imprisoning the Apostle and restricting his movements within a single chapter was, for a player, no different from having his account permanently banned.

‘Sacrifice him alone to save the whole world’ might sound perfectly reasonable to others, especially since the person being sacrificed was not themselves.

But the idea that sacrificing him would save the world was a false proposition to begin with.

Lin Xun knew that The Book of Salvation sent Apostles into different chapter worlds precisely for the sake of salvation, even if that salvation was ultimately just a rehearsal for the apocalypse crisis of the real world.

The Book of Salvation would never actively compel Apostles to destroy worlds.

Because with every world destroyed, one or even several evil gods would flee into the endless starry sky, increasing the chance that the real world would be discovered ahead of time.

[You suddenly turn your head and say to Sage Osborn, solemnly and firmly, that many heretics and evil gods may harbor a desire to destroy the world, but you absolutely do not. You are the True God’s Envoy, the only Savior who can save the world!]

[Since the Direct Vision School does not welcome you, then you will go to the Multivision School!]

[Sage Osborn’s face changes dramatically as he immediately shouts for you to stop, You cannot go!]

[At worst we will imprison you and restrict your movements. But if you go to the Multivision School, your fate will be hundreds or thousands of times more miserable than here!]

[Those madmen of the Multivision School will stop at nothing. Their sole belief is to awaken the True Lord. They do not care in the slightest whether the world is destroyed… You absolutely must not go!]

[…]

[Finally, under your relentless assault, the storage room’s defensive magic formation shatters with a boom.]

[You pull open the storage room door, wave a hand back at Sage Osborn, then shoulder the giant painting and step through the doorway…]

[He stamps his feet in frustration, but after much hesitation, still does not dare leave the Knowledge light wall to chase after you…]

[You casually shut the storage room door. Through the corridor windows, you see the sky outside plunge into darkness once more, with only a single pillar of dazzling starlight falling from above.]

[Bathed in starlight is a colossal, terrifying shadow, and a few tiny figures soar into the air, brandishing their staffs as they continuously unleash attacks at the terrifying shadow.]

[You wait at the doorway for a while. Sage Osborn continues to cower like a turtle in its shell and does not dare come after you.]

[Do you want to take advantage of the Sages being busy fighting the star monsters to escape the Direct Vision Branch Association?]

Lin Xun did not leave immediately. Instead, he let out a cold laugh.

“You think just because you’re hiding in a turtle shell, I can’t kill you?”

He opened his Inventory and clicked on an item.

[You use Teleportation Trap Device!]

[You take out the Teleportation Trap Device and silently install it at a concealed position on the top of the doorframe, setting its trigger condition to opening the door.]

[As long as someone pulls open the door without the protection of a defensive spell, then even a demigod-level powerhouse will be forcibly teleported into Starlight Cage.]

[And the painting known as Starlight Cage is currently resting on your shoulder!]

[You shout through the storage room door that the Sages are all busy dealing with the evil star god and have no time to bother with you, and that you are heading for the Multivision Association right now!]

[With that, you shoulder the enormous painting and stride down the corridor, then descend the stairs.]
