Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 936 - 439: The Inescapable Prophecy, The Lamsey Abyss Cave

[True God’s Messenger, now that you have possessed the body of the "Direct View Great Sage," you must have recognized its true identity...]

[It was nurtured from a young age by the Direct View School and had been lurking in the Multivision Association for many years, growing step by step into a sage, step by step into the Vice President of a Multivision Branch Association, providing the Direct View School with much information and intelligence...]

[Strictly speaking, you are its true object of loyalty, you are its direct superior.]

[You have possessed the body of the ’knowledge-seeking Direct View Branch Association Great Sage’!]

[You look at the familiar form of the sage before you, gradually recalling that indeed it is a spy planted by the Direct View Association here.]

[The Direct View Association, rich and powerful, recruited a large number of talented scholar students from poor backgrounds, providing them with financial support. The goal was for these students to join the Multivision Association after graduating and to provide a series of intelligence for the Direct View School.]

[There are quite a few undercover agents like the sage before you, but most cannot climb to such a high position...]

Lin Xun was startled, "Well, both schools believe in the same gods and are friendly forces of the same camp, how come it feels as if they’re enemies, playing an elaborate game of espionage?"

According to previous information, it was normal for the Multivision Association to have spies within the Direct View Association, and similarly for the Direct View Association to have intelligence sources within the Multivision School.

However, the rank and identity of this informant were alarmingly high, having mixed himself up to the level of Vice President Sage; ascending further, wouldn’t he essentially become a major adversary’s undercover boss?

[The leading sage offered a reluctant smile, saying that with this status, as long as you spare its life, it will definitely serve you well.]

[Seeing this sage so sensible, you command it to tell the truth about the prophecy and why the Multivision Association set a trap for you...]

[The leading sage’s answer, however, was beyond your expectations...]

[You had originally thought that the Multivision Association harbored malice towards you because the so-called ’Multivision prophecies’ were entirely fabricated, and the real content of the prophecies might have been similar to those of the Direct View School.]

[But the leading sage tells you that the Multivision prophecies made public within the Association are entirely true, all the original words of the Multivision Great Prophet.]

[The conclusions below are the most reasonable ones it has analyzed based on the current intelligence clues it has.]

[After all, it’s just the Vice President of a Branch Association, able to know a lot of insider information precisely because of its special status—intelligence is its financial resource...]

[The future visions seen by the Multivision Great Prophet, the content of the prophecies he wrote down, are very specific in their direction.]

[There are countless branches in the river of time, every choice you make, every word you utter, your different attitudes towards the same person, can all potentially change the course of the future.]

[To fulfill the Multivision Great Prophet’s prophecies, at every critical juncture, you must make the most correct decision... no, rather, the decision that best realizes the direction of the prophecy.]

[The Polyvision School does not need a savior, but a puppet that can follow a predetermined course, achieving the future outcome envisioned by the Great Prophet.]

[To put it more colloquially, they need a puppeteer who can awaken the True God and fulfill the direction of the prophecy.]

[The Multivision Great Prophet does not believe that you can accomplish the great task of saving the world with your own abilities, it believes that only under the control of the Multivision Association can you achieve the future needed by the Great Prophet.]

[Scholars within the Multivision Association are devoutly and steadfastly faithful... Of course, the scholars of the Direct View Association are likewise, the difference lies in their disparate philosophies.]

[The fundamental intention of the Multivision Association is to awaken the long-slumbering True God; as long as they can control you, they can direct the future, they can awaken the True God on their required timeline and achieve everything in the prophecies.]

[While the Direct View School also wants to awaken the True God, the future they desire is different from that of the Polyvision School, hence the significant divergence.] 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

[...]

Lin Xun opened the inventory, checking the original ’Multivision Great Prophet’s Book of Prophecy’ that had just dropped from the Great Sage.

The Book of Prophecy’s content was word-for-word the same as what had been learned in the great hall, confirming that the prophecy was not concocted or fake.

To verify the truth of the undercover sage’s intelligence, he possessed the body of the nearby ’Multivision Great Sage’ to access its memories.

The content of the memories was not as detailed as what the undercover sage had said, but they could still confirm that the intelligence was not meant to deceive him.

The memories of the Great Sage also included a new clue; the Great Sage had notified the Multivision headquarters in Imperial City that they should transfer the True God’s Messenger to the headquarters once they gained control.

This showed that the undercover sage was not lying.

Nonetheless, Lin Xun had a hunch that the truth was not so simple; perhaps there were still hidden clues yet to surface.

[Apostle, what is your next move?]

[1. Become the king of the mountain, by controlling the ’Multivision Great Sage’s shell, and with the ’Thousand-Eye Array’s master controller’ in possession, you can unite with the many grassroots scholars in the association, and you can become an invincible entity beneath the gods.]

[2. Travel to Imperial City, after the death of the Great Sage, he dropped the ’Imperial City Communication Token’ and the ’Imperial City Travel Map,’ you can now go to Imperial City ’Saint Etienne,’ and confront the Great Prophets of both schools.]

[3. Head to the Abyss, you possess the ’Lamsey Abyss Cave Travel Map,’ you can now go to the Underworld Abyss, to investigate the secrets hidden beneath an Abyss Demon’s live sacrifice.]
