Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 799 - 384: The Truth of the Real World_2

Li Long would only tell him the truth when he made contact with ’that kind of power’.

Lin Xun smiled slightly, of course, knowing what ’that kind of power’ was referring to.

He closed his eyes, and under the driving force of his will, his body, not possessed by any shell, began to slowly rise from the ground, floating in the air.

Although the sole of his shoe was only a few centimeters off the ground, it was indeed floating.

He had done something extraordinary with just a human body!

This was a preliminary phenomenon of the soul gradually adapting to the demigod’s shell, and changing in essence.

Lin Xun had only grasped this thing for a few days, and at first, he thought it was some benefit brought about by studying the Authority of Flesh and Blood.

Not until he recalled Jinmu in the Firefly world, did he realize it was evidence of the soul advancing towards the demi-god realm with the shell.

Li Long, who had always been calm and unhurried, could not help but look shocked.

"Well done, Lin Xun, you’ve been hiding this from me for so long!" Li Long regained his composure, grumbled verbally, but there was unmistakable joy in his eyes.

"I didn’t expect you to encounter the demigod power at the sixth level of difficulty, I was nowhere near your level..."

"Truly, the younger generation is terrifying!"

"Uncle Li, I acquired a shell artifact, it’s just a burst of luck, compared to you, I am still far behind."

Whether Li Long accepted this or not, he continued: "Now that you’ve come into contact with demi-god power, I suppose you’ve also talked to the librarian..."

"Indeed, we are continuously striving here, constantly struggling, or you could even say, wrestling with all our might to resist the Doomsday."

Seeing Lin Xun mastering the demigod-level strength, and obtaining part of the truth from the librarian, Li Long simply stopped talking in riddles and told him the situation in reality.

As he expected, the New World is a faction looking forward to the arrival of the Doomsday as soon as possible. They are the surrender faction, the coming-of-age faction.

They believe that using the ’Source of Doomsday’ in reality will attract the attention of the true existing evil gods to the coordinates of the real world.

After the Doomsday and the arrival of the evil gods, they will truly demonstrate their power and help the evil gods destroy the real world!

They continuously drain the common apostles to strengthen themselves, and intend to create the strongest group of apostles, who are eligible to be the evil god’s minions.

Because only in this way, can they win the favor of the evil gods, and follow the evil gods to the next ’New World’.

They boast of being the last beacon of humanity, acknowledging the prophet who understands the true nature of the world, self-proclaiming as the pioneers who open the door of the new world...In fact, they are a group of traitors who fear death!

New World uses a greedy and unlimited method of exploitation, plundering resources from ordinary apostles.

Then, in a brutal and primitive way, they throw the recruited powerhouses into the arena called ’Disciple War’, letting them fight each other to the death, and compete for the person eligible to become the evil god’s minions.

The first disciple who survives through numerous Disciple Wars, only until reaching a certain state, is eligible to step out of the arena and welcome the arrival of the evil gods.

In New World, they are known as Saints.

Since the creation of the New World, there have been very few Saints. You can count them on two hands.

Hearing this, Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask what kind of power do the Saints have? What realm have they reached?

Compared to the top power of the official organization and the power of the Masters and Saints of New World, who is stronger?

Li Long sighed deeply and continued: "The fact that you are still solidly standing on the side of the officials after knowing the truth..."

"To say that the official view is too narrow, both of us are standing on the side of humanity...we are the saviors."

Li Long is the vice-chairman of the council and one of the strongest among the official apostles.

They are already apostles of the ninth level, and they can even get an S-level evaluation stably in the ninth level, the S-level evaluation of the Nightmare Chapter!

But after passing the ninth Chapter, the game didn’t end, the game hinted at a final Chapter, but no one could ever open the final Chapter.

Li Long guessed that whoever could open the final Chapter could gain the strength to save the world.

Because even a strong man like Li Long, who stood at the peak of thousands of apostles, only reached the level of pseudo-god, and never reached the level of true god.

With such strength, to challenge the evil gods, to resist the evil gods, could hardly be considered as struggle. It would be flattery.

Li Long laughed at himself: "The’Book of Salvation’ is so-called salvation, but it is stingy in giving apostles the opportunity to save the world. Even when you get to the end of the game, the power you get can’t compete with the Doomsday..."

"Only by opening the final Chapter can there be hope of saving the world."

He said this and patted Lin Xun on the shoulder: "There are only two people who are the most likely to save the world. One is the chairman of the council. The chairman has advanced further than I have. He can get the highest rating, SS level, stably in the Nightmare Chapter of the ninth level of difficulty."

"The other is the leader of the New World. These two may have touched the realm of the True God where he has never set foot."

"Unfortunately, the lord of the New World willingly became a part of the surrendering faction, and he was destined not to be the savior who would save the world."

Li Long sighed, "Perhaps the ninth difficulty as the tail Chapter before the final Chapter, reaching the highest SS Level rating is not enough. There may also be some hidden additional conditions to fulfill."

"Perhaps only then would the Apostles be able to initiate the final Chapter and earn the qualification to truly contend with the evil god."

In the perception of the official Apostles, SS Level was already the highest rating.

When the strongest in the world could only muster all their strength to achieve an SS Level rating, no one would think that there was a higher rating above the SS Level.

Nor did anyone ever think that after obtaining a higher rating than SS Level, they could enter a difficulty level beyond the nightmare--Hell.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

According to Li Long’s analysis, if his speculation was correct, only by entering the hell Chapter of the ninth difficulty would one be eligible to initiate the final Chapter.

It might even require achieving the highest rating in the hell Chapter to be eligible to start the final section...

Li Long smiled satisfactorily, "Lin Xun, you have strong potential. Perhaps you are also eligible to reach the end of the game, to be a candidate to start the final Chapter, and to be one of the potential saviors."

Li Long paused here as if he had thought of something, and he was lost in thought for a long time.

He fell into deep thought, lightly tapping his fingers on the office desk...

"Lin Xun."

Li Long looked up, his eyes were unprecedentedly serious.

"Our goal may need to be adjusted!"

Lin Xun was taken aback: "Uncle Li, what do you mean?"

"Although the actions of the basic Apostles of the New World contradict conscience, it cannot be denied that once you become a disciple of the New World, or even a saint, you can grow and advance more rapidly."

"You have such potential. Having you as a disciple and letting you infiltrate the New World... that would be a waste."

Li Long’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance, "The basic Apostles of the New World were mainly brainwashed because their soul characteristics were too common..."

"Simply put, their soul talents were too ordinary. After being branded by the ’Lord’, they were subconsciously brainwashed and unknowingly became traitors to humanity."

"There is a saying ’Only behead the main culprit, do not inquire about the rest’. If we could completely erase the existence of the Lord and destroy the New World, most of these innocent basic Apostles would join the official camp."

"However, the Lord is too mysterious and powerful. We have no way of tracking the Lord’s whereabouts."

"Even if we could get rid of the Lord, it’s impossible to completely destroy the New World, because those saints selected from numerous battles, each one could become a candidate for a new ’Lord’."

He said meaningfully, "Lin Xun, have you ever considered becoming a saint?"

"After becoming a saint, you would have a chance to get close to the Lord, have a chance to kill the Lord, and have a chance... to replace the Lord!"

"If you could command all resources of the New World, then you might reach the end of the game sooner than the Speaker!"

"You could save the world in another way!"

Lin Xun widened his eyes, unable to believe what he heard.

Did Li Long want him to overthrow the Lord and become the leader of the New World?

"In doing so, you can both quickly upgrade your strength and destroy the entire New World from within..."

"Indeed, it is a good strategy that reaps double benefits, don’t you think?"

Lin Xun didn’t know what expression to make, and could only respond, "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

...

Li Long came to the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the promising young man leave the headquarters building.

"Lin Xun, I’m sorry..."

"It’s not that the organization can’t accommodate you, but the environment here might be more dangerous for you than the New World."

"The ocean of the New World is turbulent on the surface but eerily calm beneath. Here... it appears tranquil, yet countless undercurrents churn below."

"Because, there is not only one way to save the world..."
