Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 834 - 397: Astonishing Achievements, The Privileges of Immortal Realm

Chapter 834: Chapter 397: Astonishing Achievements, The Privileges of Immortal Realm

[Cain: Thank you, my Lord. I will dedicate all my efforts to reach the Immortal Realm as soon as possible and follow in Your footsteps to the New World.]

[My Lord, I am but puzzled in my heart. What exactly is that New World which everyone yearns for like?]

[Should we endure immeasurable hardships and finally reach the New World we seek, what if it turns out to be yet another Apocalypse World?]

The questions Lin Xun asked were incredibly bold.

The organization had always been preaching the beauties of the current world so much so that his ears were calloused from hearing them.

As the one about to become the First Apostle, what he should do most was to steadfastly uphold these concepts.

Yet his questions at this moment were tantamount to challenging the very foundation upon which the organization was built.

[Messiah: It is normal for you to have such doubts. Reaching the Semi-God Realm will reveal the origin and the nature of Doomsday to you, but that is only a part of the truth, not the whole of it.]

[Once you become Immortal, you will be able to obtain more of the truth from the Administrator.]

[When you become a Saint, you will understand the pains I’ve taken.]

[That’s enough, you may leave now. Regarding the matters of territories and coronation, the Grand Priest of the Rectification Council will seek you out afterward.]

[Cain: I will follow Your commands, my Lord.]

Lin Xun did not obtain the answers he sought from his Lord.

He only knew that upon reaching the Immortal Realm, he would be able to unlock further permissions with the Administrator and discover more of the truth about Doomsday.

"Isn’t Doomsday caused by various Evil Gods? What secrets could still be hidden?"

"Could it be that after Becoming Immortal, I’ll learn the true nature of the ’Book of Salvation’?"

The existence of the Book of Salvation was like a mist hidden in the dark, or rather, an illogical fog, possessing an extremely powerful force, one even mighty enough to reign supreme over all Evil Gods.

Yet, the Book of Salvation relies on the likes of ’Apostles,’ beings so frail, to seek the hope to Save the World.

It was as absurd as a fully-armed special forces soldier who, capable of gunning down the beasts of the jungle with a single sweep, chooses instead to hide in a shelter, sending a child who can barely walk to delve into the jungle, to kill the beasts and even protect the shelter that is the real world.

No matter how he considered it, it seemed extremely ludicrous.

Lin Xun shook his head. Without having reached the Immortal Realm, he only had a grasp of part of the truth, and all conjectures based on the little truth he had could likely be overturned after becoming a false god.

Having just left the ’Hall of Promises,’ Lin Xun arrived at Council Hall Number 1. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After Solomon stepped down from the position of Chief Apostle, Council Hall Number 1 became his.

Once the official coronation ceremony concluded, he would have all the permissions of the Chief Apostle.

And in the Council Hall, the Grand Priest ’Abraham’ had been waiting for some time.

The Rectification Council, whether to the Apostles or to the Council of Elders, was an extremely mysterious entity.

These priests, who managed and allocated territories, reported directly to the Lord, accountable only to Him.

Only when territory ownership changes, when a region’s allegiance shifts, do they emerge to take control of the territory, integrate it according to some pre-determined rules, and redistribute the regions.

There were Apostles who were dissatisfied with the priests’ allocation; despite having slain many rivals in the contest for the seat, they discovered that their allocated land was missing a significant portion.

One of the deceased competitors had been a coworker, and he knew the exact location of that coworker’s territory. However, after becoming an Apostle, he did not inherit the coworker’s territory.

This shows that when the Rectification Council assigns territories, they do not operate by the unwritten rules known to others, inheriting the sectors of all fallen competitors. Instead, they change the original territory positions and even retain a substantial portion.

Naturally, questioning the Rectification Council was tantamount to questioning the Lord, and naturally, that Apostle did not end up with a good fate.

The Grand Priest ’Abraham’ was unusually accommodating, like a diligent old servant, treating Cain, the Lord’s favored First Apostle, with great respect and informing him of many matters regarding the Chief Apostle.

[Abraham: Lord Cain, the Rectification Council will allocate the territories and deliver them to you at the earliest convenience.]

[Cain: When can we expect the allocation to be completed?]

[Abraham: Your achievements in battle are too astonishing. Except for Apostle Amos of the eleventh seat, all other Apostles have fallen. The territories now in need of redistribution are vast and numerous...]

[A priest has already communicated with Lord Amos, and he has voluntarily relinquished the victor’s spoils, retaining only his original territory, while the rest of the Apostles’ territories will all be yours.]

[Given the magnitude of this task, it will take at least a month and a half to plan and allocate anew. Please wait patiently.]

"Tsk, a month and a half, that’s quite long."

Lin Xun recalled how, when he first succeeded in the Apostle contest, it took quite some days to allocate Jiangnan Province as his territory.

The ’one and a half months’ mentioned by Grand Priest ’Abraham’ was probably the fastest pace possible. In reality, it could only be slower, never quicker.

"Well, it’s just as well, since all these chives were harvested not long before the Apostle War, it gives them some time to recuperate."

Presumably, a month or so would allow the chives to recover a good deal.

While pondering, Lin Xun made up his mind about his plan. As soon as he took control of his territory, he would hold an immensely grand Ceremony of Dedication.

Seeing how talkative the Grand Priest was, he couldn’t help but seek to extract some additional information from him.
