I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game
Chapter 431-1: Scapegoating Envoy, Disorder in the Real World (1)
“Why did the Beast of Disordered Knowledge come here?”
There were only two possible reasons for the Beast of Disordered Knowledge to appear. One was that the Servant of Knowledge had something to discuss with him. After he killed the Beast of Disordered Knowledge, the characters would rearrange into a teleportation gate leading to the Temple of Knowledge.
The second possibility was that the Servant of Knowledge was here to correct him. When he made a crucial mistake in his choices, the appearance of the Beast of Knowledge was equivalent to a reminder: ‘Kid, you picked wrong, hurry up and fix it.’
Lin Xun had just poured a round of scientific concepts from another world into Coleman. These crystallizations of wisdom, compiled by countless scientists, were indeed extremely precious, but they had also driven Coleman into madness.
Therefore, when it came to why the Beast of Disordered Knowledge appeared, he leaned more toward the latter.
[When Coleman sees the gigantic beast that suddenly appears, he finally comes back to his senses. The Beast of Knowledge is a beast that only appears in myths and legends, a powerful mythical creature that serves the true Lord.]
[In the Great Prophets’ prophecies, the appearance of the Beast of Knowledge signifies the descent of the True God’s Envoy.]
[You hoist the Scarlet King’s Sword. When the gigantic beast lunges at you, you twist the blade sideways and slap out with one strike, shattering it into countless scattered characters…]
[These characters seem to be drawn by some kind of attraction. Most of them drift toward you and are absorbed into your body…]
[You have defeated the Beast of Disordered Knowledge!]
[Your Blessing of Knowledge +7 is raised to Blessing of Knowledge +8. After overloading your Knowledge stat, your Knowledge cap increases yet again!]
[Part of the remaining shattered characters merge into Coleman’s body, while another part condenses into a huge character of flashing white light.]
[This is a teleportation gate leading to the Temple of Knowledge…]
[You notice that after the characters fuse into Coleman’s body, his gaze gradually clears. The frantic manufacturing movements of his hands finally stop, and he shouts excitedly…]
[He understands now. So this is what you meant, True God’s Envoy…]
[No, he must immediately absorb and digest this precious enlightenment. If he misses this opportunity, he may never be able to break through his limits in this lifetime.]
[True God’s Envoy, he is very grateful that you have brought him such great and sacred enlightenment!]
[Once he breaks through and becomes an immortal artisan, he will certainly repay your kindness properly…]
[As he speaks, Coleman takes out a strangely shaped refined copper device. The device flares with light and envelops his entire body…]
[He seems to have entered some kind of illusion with laboratory functions. After hastily bidding you farewell, he buries himself in improving his refined copper device crafting art…]
[Deep within the workshop, only the mysterious teleportation character continues to flash without pause.]
[Do you wish to step forward and touch the character, teleporting to the Temple of Knowledge?]
Lin Xun was a little dazed.
This time, the appearance of the Beast of Disordered Knowledge seemed to both correct him and signal that the Servant of Knowledge had business with him.
“Could it be because of what I just said…”
[You step forward and touch the character. The mysterious character bursts into pure white radiance that shrouds your entire body…]
[Your body gradually turns transparent and colorless, then fades into nothingness…]
[Teleporting…]
[…]
[…]
[Teleportation successful!]
[The powerful wandering soul awakens beside an ancient obelisk…]
Lin Xun stepped over the body of the Beast of Disordered Knowledge lying at the temple gate and walked straight into the temple to meet the Servant of Knowledge.

[The white robed old man stands beneath the divine throne, his expression somewhat stern, without his usual mild kindness…]
[You sense a bad premonition and carefully approach the Servant of Knowledge, cautiously asking what business it has summoned you for.]
[The Servant of Knowledge slowly says that, child favored by the true Lord, you should not have revealed that Disordered Knowledge to the Lord’s faithful people…]
Lin Xun froze. Disordered Knowledge?
What he had spoken were clearly precise and accurate scientific truths, whereas Coleman’s elemental theory of ‘wind, fire, water, and earth’ was a fallacy derived only under the constraints of insufficient scientific productive power.
[The Servant of Knowledge seems to know what you are thinking. A strange, complex light flickers in its gaze. It does not answer your question, and instead suddenly asks, person from beyond the heavens, what is your distant homeland like?]
Lin Xun’s pupils shrank, a powerful sense of vigilance crashing through him.
The Servant of Knowledge had always known that he was a visitor from another world, yet it had never asked any questions about his homeland in the past. Why bring it up now?
In the Firefly world, the Desire Wet Nurse had been obsessively fixated on ‘transcendence,’ constantly tempting and luring him, attempting to reach his homeland after the world’s destruction. Although the Desire Wet Nurse believed that the Evil God world was his homeland…
Now, what the Servant of Knowledge was asking about was clearly not some other chapter world, but the homeland capable of producing those scientific truths.
“Fuck!”
Lin Xun thought of a possibility and immediately broke out in goosebumps.
In the Firefly chapter, he had sacrificed a shell containing malice to the Desire Wet Nurse, throwing the chapter’s process completely out of order, or rather, accelerating the chapter’s progress.
That had driven the Desire Wet Nurse to embrace a resolve to destroy the world ahead of time, analyzing the malice factor, seeking to cross the endless starry sky and reach his homeland.
Could the scientific truths he had just told Coleman, in the eyes of the Servant of Knowledge, be equivalent to the Desire Wet Nurse discovering a brand new life factor?
The believers and children of Omniscient True Knowledge frenziedly pursued knowledge. As the Servant of Knowledge that had usurped the main god’s divine authority, how could it possibly stay unmoved after seeing an entirely new body of knowledge?
Thinking of this, Lin Xun wanted nothing more than to slap himself.
When he sacrificed a shell of malice to the Desire Wet Nurse, at worst he was letting her cross the endless starry sky to challenge the Extreme Delusion Fruit one on one.
Judging from the level of power the Desire Wet Nurse had displayed, she would definitely be ground into the dirt and rubbed back and forth a hundred times, a thousand times, by that evil god.
Even in the most extreme scenario, if the Desire Wet Nurse actually won and destroyed another world, that would only mean a single chapter world disappearing from the game, a volume vanishing, which had nothing to do with the real world where Lin Xun lived.
But now?
The Servant of Knowledge was asking about his true homeland, about the world that had discovered and summarized this new body of knowledge.
If the Servant of Knowledge also harbored the thought of fleeing into the endless starry sky after its own world’s destruction…
Then the world where he currently lived, which contained this new body of knowledge, would absolutely become the Servant of Knowledge’s first choice for a new home!
[The Servant of Knowledge looks at you with a complicated expression, waiting for your answer…]
Thoughts whirled in Lin Xun’s mind as he pondered how to respond to the Servant of Knowledge’s question.
He remembered that science fiction chapter world he had rage quit in seconds. The technological level of that chapter’s world surpassed Earth by hundreds and thousands of times, already reaching the stage of interstellar colonization.
