Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 835 - 397: Astonishing Achievements, The Privileges of Immortal Realm_2

Chapter 835: Chapter 397: Astonishing Achievements, The Privileges of Immortal Realm_2

[Cain: "That tasks the High Priest then. I have another question, though. Will I also be given the parish of the previous Chief Disciple, Solomon?"]

["If I’m given his parish too, does that mean the backup Saints or the Saints themselves no longer need a parish?"]

[Abraham: "Lord Cain, Solomon’s parish will also be allocated to you, but as for your latter question... I’m truly sorry, but I’m not able to answer that."]

[Cain: "Alright, then thank you, High Priest."]

[Abraham: "Serving you is my honor."]

Lin Xun curled his lips. Abraham really was tight-lipped.

The Chief Disciple’s coronation ceremony would take place in three days.

At that time, the Lord would not attend again, but instead three great elders of the Elders’ Council along with the High Priest of the Rectification Council would preside over it...

-----------------

In the city of Yunjing, at the Apostle Council headquarters building.

Li Long stared at the mobile phone on his desk, his gaze distant and thoughtful.

Finally, the phone rang with a ding-ding, the caller being the person he had been waiting for.

He revealed a slight smile and pressed the answer button, "You kid, finally decided to call me? If I didn’t get a call soon, I would have thought you made a glorious sacrifice."

Lin Xun’s voice came through from the other end, "Uncle Li, I made sure to report to you as soon as I could."

"So, how did it go this time? How many lower disciples were eliminated, one or two?"

Li Long of course knew the brutality of the Disciple War, otherwise he wouldn’t have prepared the ’Escape Bookmark’ for Lin Xun in advance.

Although he planned for Lin Xun to become a Saint, one has to eat one bite at a time, take steps one at a time, you can’t become fat with just one bite.

With the rules of the Disciple War, and considering Lin Xun’s abilities, he still had a long way to go to become a Saint.

Surviving this Disciple War, improving his ranking among the disciples, meant steadily moving toward the ultimate goal of the plan.

Lin Xun being able to cheerfully report his achievements meant he hadn’t used the ’Escape Bookmark’ to flee from the war but had survived until the end.

Whether he had teamed up with Amos or just hunkered down in a corner until the end of the war.

As an Apostle who had just conquered the sixth difficulty, surviving a war among powerful high-difficulty disciples was already a great victory.

Lin Xun’s voice became more serious, "Uncle Li, this Disciple War was more brutal than we anticipated. In each division, upper, middle, and lower, there could only be one survivor."

Li Long was shocked at the statement.

In the history of the Disciple Wars, it was common for one or two people to be eliminated in each category, but for three to be eliminated leaving only one victor was extremely rare.

There have been many Disciple Wars, but those that ended with only one victor were very few and far between.

Now that Lin Xun was still alive, either he had used the ’Escape Bookmark’, or all the remaining lower disciples were dead!

He immediately came to a conclusion and asked, "Is Amos dead?"

"No, it’s just me and Amos left."

Li Long: ???

"Can you stop doling it out like toothpaste? I ask one thing, and you only answer one thing. Wasn’t it about eliminating three? How did both you and Amos survive? Which one of you used the ’Escape Bookmark’?"

Lin Xun scratched his head. The story really was as long-winded as a child without a mother.

Under Li Long’s insistent demands, he reported the full situation. After all, this information wasn’t a secret; it was bound to become official knowledge sooner or later.

"Uncle Li, it’s not just me and Amos left in the lower division. In the entire Disciple War, only Amos and I survived."

"No, there’s also the first disciple Solomon. Even total soul annihilation couldn’t kill that guy. He really has a big life..."

Li Long began to doubt if there was something wrong with his ears or, more likely, something was wrong with Lin Xun’s mental state.

What does it mean that only the two of them survived the entire Disciple War?

You two, mere juniors, managed to join forces and slaughter your way through the Disciple War?

And you killed all the mid-rank and high-rank disciples, obtaining the final victory?

Li Long had also experienced the Demigod stage and naturally knew the huge gap between the Mythical Level and Mythical+ Level; even if two junior disciples were at the Mythical Level, the idea of killing a group of Mythical+ Level disciples was nothing but a fantastical dream.

After repeated confirmations, Li Long fell silent.

He knew that although Lin Xun usually didn’t seem serious, he wouldn’t joke about such important matters.

It was not that Lin Xun had joined forces with Amos to defeat the group of mid-rank and high-rank disciples, but rather, he had fought his way through the entire Disciple War by himself!

He had put to the sword all those demigods and top demigods ranked above him.

The reason Amos was still alive was due to his unparalleled ability to see which way the wind was blowing; he had submitted early on and become Lin Xun’s follower...

As for those high-ranking disciples who refused to submit, like Vesinu, they were now dead as dead can be.

Such an exaggerated war record, had he not repeatedly confirmed it with Lin Xun, he would have thought he was dreaming.

He had indeed drafted a plan for Lin Xun to slowly grow into a Saint, but the plan had only just started...

It was like when Tang Sanzang had just taken in the Monkey as his disciple, ready to face the eighty-one tribulations on the journey to the West Heaven.

But the unreasonable Monkey simply carried his master on his back, leaped ten thousand li in one somersault, and in the blink of an eye, arrived at the sacred land of Leiyin Temple in West Heaven.

The Monkey, with all seriousness, told the master, "You, go inside and fetch the true scriptures. I’ll wait for you here. Make it quick; I’m in a hurry..."

The plan was still in its infancy, yet Lin Xun was telling him that the plan was ninety percent complete, only one step away from becoming a Saint.

Even Li Long, who was no stranger to big events, was dumbfounded at this point.

"Are all the young people so competitive these days..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Lin Xun, who had unwittingly been crowned as the top roller, continued, "Uncle Li, after reaching the Becoming Immortal realm, what will the Librarian tell the Apostle? Can you reveal it beforehand?"

Li Long finally snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and said, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s that I can’t tell you now."

"You can try to reveal the current stage of the truth told by the Librarian to someone who is unaware, and you will immediately receive the game’s prompt and warning."

"To learn the truth, you must rely on your own strength. For those who are weak, they don’t even qualify to know the truth; for them, perhaps ignorance truly is bliss."

"Someone always has to bear the burden in silence, in places they cannot see, to create everything that seems stable and peaceful before their eyes..."

After instilling the principle of staying humble and vigilant into this junior he highly valued, Li Long hung up the phone and stood up to walk to the floor-to-ceiling window...

"This kid, he must be hiding some secrets about his Soul Talent."

"However, those who reach this step are no mediocrities. Who would fully disclose the foundation they rely on for survival to others?"

Li Long could understand Lin Xun’s actions; even in the organization’s top-secret files, his own Soul Talent was not recorded truthfully.

In fact, the recorded Soul Talent had nothing to do with his real Soul Talent at all.

When Lin Xun told Li Xingyue about his talent called Thousand Faces and Million Forms, the talent that could add Shell slots,

Li Xingyue changed the recorded Soul Talent beyond recognition, as he had instructed.

This wasn’t because he didn’t trust the organization’s confidentiality processes, but because he knew that someone with such a soul characteristic was destined to be extraordinary.

"Immortal, the truth... Who can say that the truth obtained at the Immortal realm is everything?"

"Perhaps only the Chief Speaker and the supreme ruler of the New World, those who have become Eternal True Gods, are qualified to see through everything."

"We, no, all the Apostles, are merely pieces under these two individuals who are the most likely to become the saviors... We can only struggle with all our might to follow the predestined path and implement the plans they’ve long set up."

"Lin Xun, can you step outside the chessboard and become a new chess player?"

"Can you add another possibility to Save the World?"

Li Long looked out at the bustling city, the struggling masses, and silently pondered these questions.
