Chapter 194: Pillar of the Present World
Wu Chang felt a little guilty, but after hesitating for a moment, he agreed to Archbishop Yan's request.

No matter how hard he tries, the other party can't get into the wilderness and attack him. What's so scary about just saying a few words?

What's more, the opponent has entered the wilderness, which is his home court. If I really want to fight with him, I can't go back without getting hit by two elbows.

After getting Wu Chang's consent, Archbishop Yan left on the spot and began to prepare.

In the private church where Wu Chang was, several people looked at him with envy and jealousy.

In just over ten minutes, Yu Na's attitude towards Wu Chang had changed three times.

From being a lifesaver in the beginning, to becoming a powerful patron, and now to being the chosen one who can talk to the gods.

Not to mention ordinary believers, even for her, a powerful bishop, the gods are high above and untouchable.

In the Book of Revelation, only the patriarch and a few archbishops have heard the will of the true God, and every time they talk about it, they regard it as a great honor.

The true God has a will, and what the believers in the lower world always think about is acceptance, and acceptance on their knees.

When the true God needs to seek the opinions of mortals before giving his will, he asks if he can say a few words to you?
Yu Na looked at Wu Chang with complicated eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

Wu Chang spread his hands and said, "You have seen it, this is just a new client of your organization."

As the light in the altar lit up, Yu Na and others reluctantly left the church.

Without God's invitation, you cannot spy on God.

It's not because this is disrespectful to God, but mainly because their willpower cannot hold out. Many believers, with the idea of ​​"asking for the truth in the morning and dying in the evening", have tried to sneak a peek at the patriarch or archbishop to listen to God's will.

The result is naturally that one gets what he wants, either death or madness, without exception.

It is for this reason that being summoned by the true God is the supreme honor. It means that the true God has me in his heart and protects me while speaking to me.

Under the manipulation of Archbishop Yan, Wu Chang saw through the Eye of Breaking Laws that a cross-border communication ritual was condensing on the altar.

He looked at it very carefully, and with just one glance, he was able to analyze the principles of the occult ritual. This ritual was not difficult to replicate, and the energy consumed was not much, so it was very practical.

learned.

Just as he was secretly learning the unique communication ritual of Revelation, a light and shadow emerged in the middle of the altar. From the outline of the light and shadow, it looked like a woman in a long robe. The woman wore a towering pointed hood with a spiral shape, like an inverted horn.

If nothing unexpected happens, the woman is the true God believed in by Revelation, and also Christine mentioned by Lehman.

Wu Chang looked at the light and shadow in front of him and asked, "I wonder what the true God of Revelation wants from a small figure like me in the wilderness."

"You are no small person."

Christine said meaningfully. She walked to the side of the "Research Report on Miracles and Willpower", sniffed it a few times, and said:

"I smell something from it."

Wu Chang said somewhat awkwardly: "Sorry, the air at the seaside is humid, and the parchment is a little moldy."

If he wasn't afraid of the other party getting angry, Wu Chang would have said that this book was his toilet reading.

Christine didn't care about Wu Chang's jokes. She said to herself, "I smelled the scent of the little girl who robbed my kingdom on earth not long ago. Was it you who did the Wanghai City incident?"

Wu Chang's eyes wandered instantly. No, buddy, if you had told me you wanted to talk about this earlier, I would have stopped doing this business.

Was the truth of the Book of Revelation transformed by a dog? Can you smell it?

If he denies it, will this woman come close to him, smell it, and then say "This smell is the smell of a lie"?
Since the other party dares to say that, he must be quite confident. There is no point in being stubborn.

Wu Chang showed an honest smile, scratched his head and said: "I didn't steal it, I found it. I saw that the kingdom of God on earth was placed in Wanghai City, and there was no name on it, so I thought no one wanted it."

Kristen paused for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Wu Chang to be so shameless. She continued:
"Then you also picked up the Kingdom of God on Earth on the cruise ship two days ago?"

Wu Chang shook his head violently and said as a matter of course: "Robbing the Tranquility Sect's things, can that be called robbery?"

Christine chuckled and said with approval in her tone, "I like what you said. Since you have been making things difficult for Lehman, I will not bother with you about Wanghai City. I will consider that piece of land as a gift to you."

Wu Chang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then a question arose in his heart. If Christian didn't come here to accuse him, then why did she have to connect with him on the microphone just to give him a warning?

"Since you don't care about Wanghai City, why did you come to me?"

Christine said, "To tell you the information you want to know. The people you contacted only know a small part of this information, so I have to tell you in person."

"And a little fellow from the wilderness was able to snatch my kingdom of God twice. I also want to talk to you."

Wu Chang muttered in his heart that at most he could only steal 1.5, no, 1.2, because what was on the Star Leap was the earthly kingdom of the Tranquility Sect.

Christine did not seem to have the ability to read minds. She said to Wu Chang:
"You want to know why the attack on the four major organizations some time ago affected the entire wilderness? It's simple, because the explosion not only affected the power space of the four major organizations you mentioned, but also affected the connection between the first and second layers of the abyss."

"The connection between the first and second layers of the abyss?" Wu Chang frowned. The inside story of the explosion seemed to be more explosive than he thought.

Christine continued:

"You don't look like a core member of any faction. How much do you know about the second layer of the Abyss?"

Wu Chang said honestly: "I only know that once players enter the second level of the abyss, there will be many restrictions if they want to return to the real world."

Christine looked at Wu Chang in surprise and said, "You are really not a core member of other forces. Are you interested in joining Apocalypse? I can satisfy you with any treatment you want. If you want to play with a few planes, I can arrange it for you."

Wu Chang sighed, it turned out that he was just trying to trick him. These old foxes, you can't be careless when talking to them.

But then again, he originally thought that the administration would directly allocate housing to the staff and the welfare benefits would be good enough. However, facing Christine, who could change several dimensions with just a wave of her hand, his competitiveness was still too weak.

"Sorry, I already have faith, and I have no plans to bind myself to any force for now. If I reach the third level of the abyss someday, maybe we can cooperate."

If it were someone else, who had just reached level 24 in the Wasteland Realm, and dared to say that he could enter the third level of the Abyss and even cooperate with high-level gods, that would be like a pig ringing the doorbell. Are you worthy of that?
But Christine didn't find Wu Chang funny, she just felt it was a pity.

"If you change your mind in the future, you can always come to me. Then let me continue the previous topic. You really don't know much about the second layer of the abyss. Have you ever thought that there is a dimensional barrier in the wasteland that will prevent gods like us from entering? We must go through the kingdom of gods on earth, or other means to bypass the barrier before we can appear in the wasteland."

"You so-called players are able to leave the wasteland and come to the rational world of the second layer of the abyss, which means that your power level has also exceeded the plane barrier of the wasteland. Then why can you return to reality whenever you want without any hindrance?"

"You should know that the basic plane where your world is located, which is the reality you mentioned, has a plane barrier around it that is thicker and more restrictive than the barrier of the wasteland."

Wu Chang nodded after listening to this. What Christine said was correct. His attention before was mainly focused on his own affairs. After all, he had just joined the Abyss game not long ago, and the second level of the Abyss was still too far away for him.

Now that I think about it, I previously believed that players could return to reality from the second level of the Abyss because of the existence of the Abyss game, which gave players enough privileges.

But Shi Ning had clearly told him that players on the second level of the Abyss also had to face extremely harsh conditions to return to reality, which meant that the Abyss game could not exempt players from the dimensional barriers they had to endure.

He said with a hint of enlightenment: "The four major organizations have some kind of ability that allows high-dimensional players to bypass the plane barrier and sneak back to reality as if they were summoned by the kingdom of God on earth?!"

Kristen laughed and said, "You are really smart. They have the ability to do this."

"They have mastered 36 planes between the first and second layers of the Abyss, and used them as channels to combine the first and second layers of the Abyss, which should have been completely separated. According to your terms, these channels are called the 36 Pillars of the Present World."

When talking about the dungeon, Wu Chang became more excited. He asked in confusion:

Using the replica as a channel, it must be a real replica. Can they guarantee that every time they pass through the replica, it will not affect the contamination value of the replica? Or has the replica been broken through, and they have a way to share the broken replica?"

Christine: "That only means that you don't know enough about the second level of the Abyss, and you don't know enough about the entire Abyss game."

Wu Chang: ...

Broken and despised.

Christine did not mean to find superiority in Wu Chang. She answered directly: "Not all copies have a destination of losing control or breaking through. People can upgrade, so why can't planes upgrade? When a plane on the first layer of the abyss reaches a certain requirement and starts to upgrade to the second layer of the abyss, if it fails at the moment of completion, it will fall into a special intermediate state."

"The properties of the copies in the middle layer are completely stable. They are sandwiched between the two layers. No matter how you operate them, they cannot be broken and retreat back to the wasteland. They cannot get out of control and completely upgrade to the rational world."

"These copies of the middle layer are the so-called pillars of the present world. The four major organizations hide them very well. Only the core players within their forces, or players who have obtained their permission, can borrow them for a short period of time."

"The explosion that occurred in the four major organizations some time ago was aimed at destroying the disguise and authority of these pillars of the present world. Now, they have become public, and their entrances are randomly refreshed in your world. As long as they find the entrance, anyone can enter them."

Wu Chang understood what was said earlier, but when it came to this point, he didn't understand anymore.

"You said that these pillars of the present world are dungeons stuck in the middle layer, which cannot be conquered or out of control. If that's the case, what's the point of going to so much trouble to make them public, so that players from the second layer of the Abyss from other forces can also return to the real world?"

Christine shook her head and said, "On the contrary, the purpose of making the Pillars of the Present World public is not to allow people to use them, but to destroy them. Someone has discovered how to destroy these intermediate copies, causing them to completely go out of control and upgrade to the second layer of the Abyss. Moreover, they have already begun to do so."

Revealing the Pillar of the World, is it for the purpose of destruction?

This conclusion made Wu Chang grit his teeth. If what Christine said was true, then all his previous speculations would have to be overturned and he would have to start all over again.

The first thing that needs to be re-evaluated is the mysterious organization.

From common sense, there is no reason for them to destroy the Pillar of the Present World. The Pillar of the Present World is the passage back to reality. If they don't want to return to reality, there is no need to go through so much trouble. They just need to not come back.

The purpose of those who want to destroy the Pillar of the Present World should be to completely separate the first and second layers of the Abyss, so that players on the higher plane can no longer influence players on the lower plane.

Analyzing from this perspective, there are two possibilities for the behavior of the mysterious organization.

First, if it was them who destroyed the Pillar of the Present World and attacked the four major organizations, then their purpose was probably to prevent the high-level players of the four major organizations from returning to reality. In this way, they would cause the four major organizations to lack high-end combat power in reality for a short period of time, and then achieve certain goals.

But this possibility is untenable.

The four major organizations do not rely on the players on the second level of the abyss, but they are still the four major organizations. On the contrary, when everyone lacks high-end combat power, the four major organizations backed by the country have overwhelming combat power in the wilderness.

Wu Chang might be more inclined to option 2.

If the ones who destroyed the Pillar of the Present World and attacked the four major organizations were not the mysterious organization he identified, then it was very likely that this was a plan directed and performed by the four major organizations themselves.

You know, players who enter the second level of the abyss have already reached the level of superheroes in animations and movies. The force and laws in ordinary people's society can no longer restrain them.

Just as he had guessed before, the four major organizations were still the four major organizations without the players from the second level of the Abyss.

But for the leaders of the four major organizations in the real world, without the players on the second level of the abyss, they are the bosses. With this group of living fathers hanging over their heads, they have become puppets.

If they could take this opportunity to disconnect from the second layer of the abyss, then no one would be able to shake their position, wouldn't that be wonderful?

This way, the mysterious organization’s reaction would make sense.

Perhaps they had heard the news before and realized that the little brother in the underworld wanted to stab them in the back and kick them out so that they could not return home.

However, they were too constrained in reality and could not take action themselves, so they resorted to making the copies out of control, eroding the copies and attacking reality to create the illusion of a fight to the death and force the four major organizations to stop.

Wu Chang took a deep breath, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to be true.

Instead of guessing it yourself, it is better to ask the god in front of you who obviously knows the inside story.

He smiled like Park Changmin in the Silent Route copy, "Your Majesty Christine, can you tell me what the purpose of those who destroyed the Pillar of the Present World is?"

Christine said slowly: "That's the second question."

Wu Chang immediately said: "Can I borrow money? Tell me the problem first, and I will find a prop of similar quality later."

Christine hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head.

"Two!" Wu Chang was furious. His inspiration told him that the truth of this matter was very important, not only to him, but also to the whole world.

"This has nothing to do with the props, but with you. At this point, the fate of the Pillar of the Present World and the Desolate World has been determined and cannot be changed. You can't stop it, not even with that little girl who seized my kingdom of God."

"If I tell you, it will only lead to your death. You are very interesting and you should not die in the wilderness, so I won't tell you."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows and said, "The ending is already determined? Really? I don't believe it."

Christine smiled and said, “Then you can prove it to me.”

"I will." Wu Chang nodded heavily. He paused for a moment and finally asked:
"One last question. Is this research report so important to you that you would tell me this secret information?"

Christine said: "It is not of much use to me, but I told you because I saw you were interested."

"In that case, can I take that thing away?" Wu Chang asked tentatively.

He is a good man who is thrifty and manages his household well. If Christine has no use for the things, he can recycle them and trade them with Revelation later.

Kristen: ?
She had never seen such a shameless person.

"I can't use it, but my men can. I'll take it and look forward to your future performance."

After Christine finished speaking, the light and shadow disappeared with a whoosh, and along with it, the "Research Report on Miracles and Willpower" on the ground also disappeared.

As the ceremony ended, Yu Na and a group of believers walked into the private church. After exchanging a few words with Archbishop Yan, Yu Na took Wu Chang and left the stronghold.

Before leaving, Yu Na asked, "Did you get the information you wanted to know?"

Wu Chang nodded and then shook his head.

"I know part of it, but the information I know makes me even more confused."

Yu Na asked, "Do you want to come to my house?"

Facing Yu Na's invitation, Wu Chang refused, "That's not good. Your husband's seventh day of death hasn't passed yet. It's not appropriate for us to do this."

Yu Na lifted a strand of hair behind her head and said with a look that was enough to draw the silk:
"You don't think that a nouveau riche who joined the cult with sponsorship can really marry the bishop of the cult. I married Tang Renquan only to better control his property and obtain a public identity that would facilitate my actions."

"Don't even mention that he's dead. Even if he's alive, he'll have to open the door for you personally."

Wu Chang swallowed his saliva and secretly mourned for a second for the dead Tang Renquan. However, when he remembered that the guy was not a good person either, he instantly felt that he deserved it.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally rejected Yu Na's invitation. This woman was too skilled, and this was not his area of ​​expertise. If he engaged her in direct combat, wouldn't he be wiped out?

"There are people at home waiting for me to go back. Maybe there will be a chance in the future. I will definitely do it next time."

In Wanghai City, Wu Chang used his true self to escort Yu Na to escape from Wanghai City, and followed her to the stronghold to trade intelligence. At the same time, Wu Chang's real self continued the final work of the pursuit in Wanghai City.

For him, tonight went very smoothly and the gains far exceeded his expectations.

But for Director Gao and others, it was not so happy. Not only did they not catch the person, but many members of the management bureau were also injured by Yu Na, and they worked in vain all night.

Fortunately, Yu Na was focused on escaping in the early stage and no one tried to kill her, so the problem was not big.

During the final moments, the real me had already learned the information from Christine. Wu Chang's real body naturally approached Director Gao, Meng Yawen and others and asked;

"Director Gao, I just heard you say that the guy who escaped is a big shot among the evil god's followers, and his strength is beyond the capabilities of the Wanghai City Branch."

"There is one thing I don't understand. Since the evil god believers are the mortal enemies of the Administration, and the target we want to capture is a big shot among the evil god believers, why don't we ask for support from the players in the second layer of the Abyss, but instead force the action with the branches in several other cities?"

Director Gao smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I didn't want to? If I could call for support, I would have called for it immediately. Why would I drag everyone to their deaths?"

"You will know this sooner or later, and I don't need to hide it from you. A few days ago, the bureau has already cut off contact with the second layer of the abyss."
