Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1057 - 485 Creating the Immortal, Second Critical Point_2

"It is said that when the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ descended into the world, he not only gave mortals the chance to purify their sins but also bestowed upon them the art of Qi refinement for cultivating immortality,"

"The entire Vermilion Empire are devout followers of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’, and the Empire’s emperor even venerates the ’Fire Worship Cult’ as the state religion..."

"Those Qi refiners could achieve soul separation from their bodies when they were still very weak, but that couldn’t be called ’Soul Out of Body’; it was merely ’Yin Spirit Out of Body’. A strong wind could scatter their souls."

"True ’Soul Out of Body’ involves turning one’s ’Yin Spirit’ into ’Soul’, which only the Vermilion Immortals who had attained enlightenment could achieve."

Lin Xun furrowed his brows, based on the intelligence he had gathered in the Evil God World, weren’t the Vermilion Immortals supposed to be of Demigod level?

The ’Soul Out of Body’ he had achieved was something only Immortal Divines could do.

The Nine-tailed Fox covered her mouth, smiling, her beautiful eyes full of allure, "Dragon Descendant Lord, those Qi refiners have levels of strength, and of course, so do the Vermilion Immortals..."

"The lowest level of immortals are called Earth Immortals or Ghost Immortals, who can’t truly achieve ’Soul Out of Body’. Only the truly enlightened Heavenly Immortals can have their soul survive the destruction of their physical body and possess great divine powers like ’taking possession’ or ’reincarnating’ without the confusion of the womb."

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, so the real power hierarchy of the Evil God World was all in the Vermilion Empire?

No wonder Sakura Fall, a small place, could only serve as the setting for the fifth Chapter.

According to the Nine-tailed Fox’s description, Earth Immortals and Ghost Immortals are what the Great General referred to as ’Vermilion Immortals’, who are the Demigod level Vermilion Immortals, while those who achieve immortality and become Divine are called ’Heavenly Immortals’."

Lin Xun stroked the playful fox tail that peeked out of the water and continued to inquire, "Then, is there an even stronger level of immortals, um... above Heavenly Immortals?"

The Nine-tailed Fox closed her eyes, answering with pleasure, "According to our clan’s records, there seems to be something like Golden Immortals, and among them, the prominent Daluo Golden Immortals..."

"Dragon Descendant Lord, you’re asking so much, you’re not planning to descend into that world again, are you?!"

The Nine-tailed Fox suddenly snapped back to reality and stood up abruptly, her face full of panic.

Lin Xun, of course, knew what the Nine-tailed Fox was worried about. Initially, the Evil God’s invasion of Sakura Fall had caused a significant psychological shadow on him, and not to mention on the Nine-tailed Fox as well.

However, he had since transformed, not only gaining Immortal Level power but also possessing a major weapon like the ’Chaos Ability’.

’Chaos Ability’ can circumvent the deductions of the Underworld Game; he hoped that the power hierarchy in Vermilion would be even stronger, and the more Divine Level beings, the better. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

For these Divine beings were key to enhancing his own Power Capability!

Seeing the Nine-tailed Fox showing some symptoms of ’post-traumatic stress disorder’, Lin Xun gave her a good pep talk.

After the soul merged with the body, the Nine-tailed Fox’s spirit lifted, eagerly longing for the future painted by the Dragon Descendant Lord.

Because Vermilion was the real birthplace of the Nine-tailed Clan and a gathering place of many great demons, the Dragon Descendant Lord told her that descending into that world again might find the key opportunity to enhance her strength.

Before Lin Xun could reopen the Evil God Chapter, there was still a lot of preparatory work to be done.

The first thing to do was to obtain the intelligence information on the ’Immortal Level’ access from the Librarian.

[...]

[Beneath the immense Book of Salvation, the ’Librarian’ was leisurely reading a book in hand.]

[You approach and greet him, indicating to the librarian that you need to know more information about Doomsday...]

[The ’Librarian’ didn’t even look up as he said, ’Apostle, he has reminded you many times not to overstep, yet you keep trying to make him break the rules...]

[The librarian stopped mid-sentence, looked you up and down carefully, then with surprise said, "Eh? How did you become ’Immortal’ so quickly?"]

[The Librarian adjusted his monocle and continued, ’Apostle, he won’t interfere with how you acquire Divinity Props from the real world; this is just a friendly reminder.’]

[The level of Power Capability is certainly very important, but having control over that authority is also indispensable.]

[Rapidly increasing Power Capability without truly understanding how to control it is like only having the body of a strong boxer without inheriting his skilled techniques, unable to display real strength in the ring.]

[It’s like a three-year-old holding a firearm, you might hurt yourself before you defeat an enemy.]

[There aren’t many shortcuts to mastering control over your power; it requires your persistent effort and practice to achieve stable enhancement.]

[Quickly increasing the level of Power Capability isn’t the goal; truly mastering your Power Capability is what’s most important.]

[These are his loyal reminders for you, whether you listen or not is entirely up to you...]

Lin Xun’s eyes showed a complex look.

The librarian’s words certainly made sense, and if he hadn’t known about the Book of Salvation’s behind-the-scenes deductions, he might have taken the librarian’s words as an understanding of the neck-choking actions of the Underworld Game.

The game isn’t about choking your progress or limiting your improvement; it doesn’t want you to have power you can’t control, it doesn’t want the power to control you.

What the Book of Salvation advocates is that you should be the master of power, not the slave of power.
