Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1014 - 469: The Mission of the Prophets_2

[The Chairman of the Council of Polymaths suddenly spoke, "Prophet Rona, are you certain you still wish to take this person to the ’Prophet Association’ with you?"]

[Upon receiving an affirmative response, the Chairman of the Council of Polymaths helplessly shook his head and then silently retreated to one side.]

[Rona, taking you by the hand, reached out to touch the painting. The huge canvas rippled like the surface of water, and without resistance, you were pulled into the painting with Rona...]

[...]

[...]

[When you opened your eyes, a towering ancient obelisk stood beside you, and not far away was a majestic white temple.]

[The scene here bore a striking resemblance to the ’Temple of Knowledge,’ as if it were constructed in imitation of the Temple of Knowledge.]

[If it were not for the Temple’s construction from white bricks rather than countless small characters, and the absence of that immense guardian beast at the gate, you would have almost believed you were actually standing inside the ’Temple of Knowledge.’]

[Standing beside the obelisk and looking into the temple, you could vaguely see many small figures...]

[You quickly made your way toward the temple and entered it...]

[Inside the temple was a massive Magic Array, with dozens of ’children’ in scholar robes sitting at the array’s various vertices, their eyes tightly shut and knees crossed in meditation, bodies flickering with dense characters.]

[These characters intertwined and flashed together, forming a large net... You knew this was the phenomenon of utilizing ’Analysis Power’ to its fullest, the ’children’ using the Magic Array to combine each other’s analytical strengths, achieving an analytical efficiency far greater than the sum of its parts.]

[The appearance of the ’children’ was just like the new bodies you had seen before, the only difference being that their exposed skin beneath the robes and their features were either densely or sparsely covered with... decaying sores!]

[With dozens of ’children’ presiding, they were still far from filling all of the vertices of the Magic Array, which had many vacancies.]

[Most importantly, there was an obvious gap at the center of the Magic Array that lacked a ’child’ supervising it.]

[You looked around, and not only did the temple contain the Magic Array, but there was also a row of brand-new, unused bodies...]

[Seemingly sensing your arrival, the ’child’ at the forefront of the Magic Array opened its eyes and stood up...]

[You have discovered the ’Prophet of the Polyvision School in pursuit of Knowledge’!]

[Having met the ’Prophet of the Polyvision School in pursuit of Knowledge’ for the first time, your Knowledge has increased by 50000! Current Knowledge: 50000/95500]

[The childlike Prophet began to speak slowly, emitting an aged sigh that did not match its youthful appearance...]

[After so many years, the School finally has ascended a new Prophet...]

[It can finally lay down its heavy burden, no longer needing to struggle to sustain itself...]

[You’re ’Rona,’ right?]

[The Prophet’s gaze shifted from Rona to you, then spoke, "Are you a Scholar who has come to deliver a new body? Why haven’t you erased your self-awareness?"]

[Never mind, its wakeful time is limited. Let Rona handle it later.]

[Saying this, the Prophet then addressed the puzzled Rona with gravity...] 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

[The new Prophet will have the formidable mission of controlling this temple, becoming the only lucid being among the many Prophets.]

[You will need to take over its burden and remain lucid until the next Prophet is born. Only then can you give up your self-consciousness and sleep peacefully like the other Prophets in the ’Analytic Array,’ handing over your entire self to the ’Analytic Array.’]

[Rona furrowed her brows and asked, "What mission? What right does it have to stay in the temple? Moreover, what exactly are so many Prophets analyzing together, and what about the Great Prophet?"]

[The Prophet laughed and shook its head, "Rona, had you served as the head of the School for a while before joining the ’Prophet Association,’ you would not be asking such questions after you had understood everything."]

[Unfortunately, the beneficial cycle was disrupted long ago. Well, then, it will start from the beginning and explain, so you understand what this so-called mission is and what all this really means...]

[...]

[Long ago, when the True God was lost at the edge of Chaos, Chaos spread to the believer scholars through faith, through the analytical power bestowed by the True God.]

[The process of being eroded by Chaos is irreversible, and while there are ways to slightly delay the erosion, there is no way to fully stop it.]

[However, each individual’s tolerance to Chaos varies, as does the total amount of Chaos that each body can contain.]

[Some people, upon ascending to godhood, are quickly and entirely eroded by Chaos, becoming utterly insane and monstrous, while others, due to their uniqueness, can endure for a very long time...]

[Beings as grand as the True God, even containing infinite Chaos, are still struggling to sustain up to this day...]

[The Great Prophet of our School and the Great Prophet of the Direct View School are the human beings with the strongest tolerance to Chaos in the world.]

[They have ascended to the status of ’Eternal True Gods’ but have not yet been completely eroded by Chaos.]

[Perhaps it is such formidable tolerance that has enabled them to become the leaders of all scholars!]

[The Great Prophet has already deciphered the betrayal of the Servants of God under the True God, their plot to revive the ’Abyss’ and the ’Stars.’]

[The Great Prophet has not only decoded this fact but also received a premonition from the True God in a dream, which foretold the coming of the divine messenger...]
