Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 836 - 398: Volcan’s Abandoned Slag, Anchoring - Seven of the Omniscient World!

Chapter 836: Chapter 398: Volcan’s Abandoned Slag, Anchoring Chapter Seven of the Omniscient World!

Three days flashed by, and the first Apostle’s coronation ceremony took place as scheduled.

When the middle-ranking Apostles learned that the eleventh Apostle, Amos, and the twelfth Apostle, Cain, were the victors of this session’s Apostle War, they were utterly astonished.

To be precise, it was Lord Cain, the twelfth Apostle, who climbed from the very last seat to the chief Apostle’s position, with Amos merely being a staunch supporter who followed Lord Cain.

After the coronation ceremony, Lin Xun’s Book of Letters was nearly bursting with an influx of messages.

Greetings from the Council of Elders, compliments from the Knights of the Holy Temple, and voluntary offers of allegiance from various alternate Apostle candidates aspiring to cling to his coattails were countless.

Lin Xun couldn’t be bothered with these alternate Apostles.

The alternate Apostles were hoping Lord Cain would become an angel investor, pouring spiritual investment into them.

But who was Lin Xun? Those who could scam Spirituality from him were either yet to be born or already dead.

Even if he spent a significant amount of Spirituality to support a few Apostles in rising to power, by the time the next Apostle War began, he might have already become a Saint.

Lin Xun didn’t have the time to focus on the struggle for power; instead of spending time and resources training successors, it was better to enhance his own strength as soon as possible.

Those seemingly lofty powers were granted by the Sovereign, who could take them back at any time, kicking one from the pinnacle of power.

Only the strength held in one’s own hands was the most reliable!

After the coronation ceremony, Lin Xun received a piece of significant good news.

"Lin Xun, your Legendary Grade Divinity has arrived."

Li Long on the other end of the phone sounded relieved. Lin Xun had completed a large part of the plans ahead of time, achieving such great merit, yet he, Li Long, had been delayed in delivering the Divine Tools that were owed.

It made him feel as though he was failing a meritorious retainer.

"Ah, Uncle Li, you’ve gone to a lot of trouble! I am truly grateful!"

Li Long, hearing Lin Xun’s cheerful voice, couldn’t help but crack a smile as well.

"This Legendary Grade Divine Tool was given to me by Director Wang, one of the nine directors of the Council, originally intended for his progeny."

"But now your priority is the highest, and Director Wang is willing to allocate the Divine Tool to me first."

"This is a huge favor, but you don’t need to worry; I will repay it for you."

Under Li Long’s deliberate concealment, Lin Xun was effectively invisible within the organization, known by very few besides his direct superior, Li Long.

Lin Xun was very moved, "Uncle Li, do you still need an adopted son? I’ve drifted half my life, lamenting not having found an enlightened leader. If you do not reject the notion, I’d be willing to become your adopted son..."

"Enough, enough, cut the nonsense."

Li Long said ’enough’ verbally, but his lips curled up involuntarily; he genuinely liked this promising junior.

It proved that Li Xingyue’s judgment was indeed extraordinary.

"Uncle Li, I have a question. What level of strength do the directors of our Council have?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Long decided there was no need to hide from his own people, "The strength of the nine directors is similar to that of the Saints in the New World, all of them are prominent figures who have achieved the Immortal realm."

"Although they have not yet reached the pinnacle level of being a false god, they are among the very top of the thousands of Apostles."

Lin Xun immediately understood; the nine directors were of Immortal Level, which meant that Li Long, as the Vice-Chief Speaker, should be at the Immortal+ Level.

He had heard that there was another Vice-Chief Speaker in the Council, but it seemed that this other Vice-Chief Speaker had some significant friction with Li Long.

The relationships among the nine directors were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface; there were various factions, and covert conflicts were not infrequent.

"Lin Xun, you don’t need to worry about me, the New World requires your undivided attention and strained nerves at every moment. The organization’s squabbles... I will handle it all."

Li Long understood what was on Lin Xun’s mind; the young man wanted to use his hidden identity to eliminate obstacles for him.

"You just need to focus on conquering the game, strive to become stronger... don’t let down the expectations I have for you."

"Mhm, Uncle Li, don’t worry! Should anything arise just give me a signal, don’t be shy. I visited Wencheng not long ago and just met with the Group Leader Li..."

"You rascal... remember to go to the Book of Letters to collect the tool."

"Sure thing."

Li Long hung up the phone, chuckling and shaking his head with an uncontrollable smile, "Young people should be this free-spirited and untrammelled."

"It is precisely such young people who can break free of the rules and carve a unique path for themselves..."

Knock knock knock!

The office door was knocked.

"Come in!"

The secretary walked in with a notification document and spoke softly, "Chief Speaker Li, the Chief Speaker has issued an order. The situation in the British division of the Council of Peace is urgent, and they request you to dispatch Director Wang abroad to assist with support."

Li Long, with a face still full of smile, took the red-sealed document and perused it carefully.

His smile remained, yet his eyes gradually turned icy cold.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun clicked on the Book of Letters to check the attachment he had received.

[’Volcan’s Discarded Slag’ (Legendary Grade Tool): Slag scooped from the great Fire God ’Volcan’s’ forge, produced during the smelting process as a molten mass floating on the surface of molten metals and other materials.]

[The slag, irregular in shape and unsightly beyond measure, much like ’Volcan’ himself, has absorbed some of the deity’s Divinity through his endless forging and metallurgy... that partial, yet ugly Divinity!]

[Using this tool grants 1 point of Divinity.]
