Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1055 - 484: The Beginner Level of the ’Book of Knowledge Illusion’, Immortal Divinity_2

Chapter 1055: Chapter 484: The Beginner Level of the ’Book of Knowledge Illusion’, Immortal Divinity_2

The Servant of God separated the pages of the Underworld Abyss and used the "Underworld Abyss" Chapter as a tutorial level for travelers.

With the protection of the "Book of Knowledge Illusion," the souls of the demon clan’s monsters could be reborn and revived even if they died in battle, without truly dying.

Since they couldn’t truly die and couldn’t yield any profit, using them as a tutorial level was quite appropriate.

The Knowledge god servant even shared the full access to the "Book of Knowledge Illusion" with Lin Xun, letting him take charge in designing the tutorial level.

Lin Xun thought to himself that although the future ’travelers’ were likely to be seasoned Apostles dug up from the Book of Salvation, using the hellishly difficult seventh Chapter as their tutorial was still a bit too abnormal.

After all, not everyone had abnormal strength like himself.

Fortunately, the access to the "Book of Knowledge Illusion" was really amazing; Lin Xun could use this access to suppress or enhance the demons’ strengths, adjusting the game’s difficulty within a certain range according to the traveler’s own power.

The "Abyss Demon" Chapter was just the first step of the plan; the "tutorial level" was only meant to acclimatize travelers to the somewhat different mechanics of the "Book of Knowledge Illusion" compared to the "Book of Salvation."

The fundamental purpose was still to enable the travelers to produce more resources to work for Lin Xun and to provide fuel for the operation of the "Book of Knowledge Illusion."

Clearly, the tutorial level couldn’t achieve the fundamental purpose; Lin Xun needed more replica worlds to fill into the "Book of Knowledge Illusion" as Chapter levels.

Every time the Book of Salvation sent an Apostle player into another world, it could be seen as a semi-real rehearsal, and although it was a simulation, every path taken would definitely leave some traces.

Apostles could extract resources from these traces to strengthen themselves, while the Book of Salvation would take a major portion of the resources extracted by the Apostles to maintain its operation.

What Lin Xun needed to do was to accomplish the true salvation of the world, define the rehearsal as reality, thereby providing accurate coordinates to that world to use it as a Chapter level for the "Book of Knowledge Illusion," and prepare for the subsequent plundering of the world’s divinity power.

"So... am I saving the world or destroying it?"

Lin Xun couldn’t help but ponder this.

The Knowledge god servant replied, "To those deities, you are certainly a killer, but to the countless creatures of that world, you are the true savior."

"Eventually, all deities will move towards chaos and become evil gods who will destroy the world. It’s because of you erasing those evil gods that all living creatures can escape catastrophe."

"Humanity’s conscience is a double-edged sword; sometimes it’s the shackles restricting your actions, and sometimes it can be the driving force and faith that propels you forward."

"Some evil gods become what they are not just because of chaos; maybe it’s their true nature or perhaps they discarded something as precious as conscience..."

If Lin Xun now wanted to elevate his Chaos Ability to +10, he needed an Immortal Level Divinity Prop, and the god servant had scheduled the acquiring of Immortal Divinity.

With no surplus Immortal Divine beings left in the native Omniscient World, aside from Rona and the leader of the Direct View School, the Prophet, the only Immortal Divine Level beings left were a group of prophets in deep slumber within the Prophet Association and Seer Tower.

These prophets were their own people, and neither the Servant of God nor Lin Xun intended to obtain divinity from their own people.

From this perspective, whether Omniscience belonged to the good alignment was left without comment, but at least it belonged to the order faction.

If the Servant of God ruthlessly killed the prophets to increase Lin Xun’s divinity power, once he consumed the sugar-coated exterior, he’d have to seriously reconsider whether to continue cooperating with the Servant of God.

Although there were no more surplus Immortal Divine beings in the Omniscient World, the god servant still had other ways to acquire Immortal Divinity for him, first helping him to gain the power at the False God level.

Rona and the prophet led the many Great Sages of the Two Knowledge Schools aboard an ocean-going ship towards the depths of the ’outer sea’ of the Omniscient World.

There, an ancient Deep Sea monster, incubating for millions of years, was on the verge of ascending to immortality coincidentally, becoming an ownerless and faithless Immortal Divine being.

Naturally created primal spirits like this one, if there are no other powerful deities in the world, may become another Eternal True God or a Supreme Lord God after countless years, ruling the world.

But if the world already has strong enough deities, and they belong to different factions and alignments, the first thing such a nascent being would face is choosing sides and picking alliances...

Unfortunately, this being known as ’Cthulhu’ no longer had the chance to choose its faith, for as soon as it was born, it was cruelly beaten by Rona and a multitude of sages, reduced to merely a tool in Lin Xun’s crafting of the Immortal.

During the days when Rona led the expedition team to subjugate ’Cthulhu’ and obtain Immortal Divinity for Lin Xun, back in the real world, he was also about to receive a considerable profit.

As the integration of the first disciple’s territory neared completion...

Lin Xun soon received a notification from the New World’s High Priest ’Abraham’, the breadth of the territory he was to receive was indeed staggering.

The first disciple’s territory encompassed thirteen provinces, three municipalities, two autonomous regions, and one special administrative region.

Essentially, a large part of the country’s land was designated as the first disciple’s territory, no wonder the ’Rectification Council’ had been so busy lately, and High Priest ’Abraham’ had even less hair than when Lin Xun last saw him.

The vast expanse of the first disciple’s territory had a lot to do with his terrifying record of annihilating all enemies during the Disciples’ War.

After these hostile disciples died, a portion of their territories would revert back to the ’Rectification Council’ for training new disciples, while everything else would fall into his hands.

Once the ’Rectification Council’ finished handing over the territories, it was Lin Xun’s turn to be busy...

More accurately, it was Lin Xun’s first underling ’Amos’, Little Ya, who would be busy.

Amos did not fall into despair despite having his shell seized by Lin Xun; in fact, it proved that he still had some skills.

Little Ya, utilizing his innate talent, managed to secure another Legendary Grade shell for himself within the game in just over a month. Although it was far inferior to his original ’Catastrophe Witch’, it was passably average.

Given more time, it wouldn’t be impossible for Amos to regain his former glory.

Having witnessed Lin Xun’s abilities and methods, Amos had completely reformed and was fully enlightened.

Now, the second disciple’s only thought was to cling to Lin Xun’s coattails...

His attitude towards Lin Xun was even more sincere and humble than his service to ’Vesinu’, carrying out Lin Xun’s commands with utmost attention to detail.

As Lin Xun was set to harvest the spiritual leeks of his territory, collecting so much spirituality, the manpower assigned by Li Long, such as ’Arsonist’ Cao Chi and a few others, was insufficient.

At this moment, Amos, who was extremely familiar with the Ceremony of Dedication, could exploit his strengths to hold down the fort.

Amos, hustling and bustling relentlessly for nearly half a month, finally managed to reap all the spiritual leeks of the territory.

The number of spiritualities finally handed over to Lin Xun was so immense, counting the digits with his fingers took quite a while.

Lin Xun, looking at the long string of astronomical numbers in the bottom right corner of his item bar, marveled that no wonder disciples were always decked in divine equipment, armed to the teeth.

Now, he too could play the wealthy tycoon and craft a few sets of true Divine Props for his shell.

After Lin Xun was done harvesting the leeks, Rona’s expedition team also returned successfully, handing over the newly acquired ’Immortal Divinity’ to him...

[’Calubdis’s Swallowing Whirlpool’ (Immortal Level Prop): The gaping maw belonging to the primeval divine being ’Calubdis’, forming a massive whirlpool on the ocean’s surface, capable of swallowing everything.]

[Within this palm-sized mini water vortex now lies the primal divinity of the Deep Sea God.]

[Using this prop, one can obtain 1 point of Divinity.]

"So this is what it feels like without deductions and exploitation, to defeat an Immortal Divine and obtain divinity of the same level..."

Lin Xun couldn’t help but express his longing for the sensation, yearning for days without oppression and exploitation, though of course, that only applied to himself.

For the other ’Travelers’ he aimed to recruit in the future, all he had to do was offer a slightly better deal than the Book of Salvation offered, and he would go from being a despised capitalist to a praised entrepreneur...
