Chapter 504 Raven
The description of the Messiah's props states that this was a project completed solely by Schultz.

Schultz's knowledge all comes from the Omniscient Crystal. The development of such an important project must have involved the Omniscient Crystal. Its unusual behavior at this moment, does it know something?
Wu Chang took out the Omniscient Crystal, and before he could ask any questions, he saw the small pieces of the Omniscient Crystal begin to split outwards.

It continuously splits into tiny fragments, which combine with each other and quickly assemble into a huge black cube with a side length of one meter.

The omniscient crystal actually swapped its offspring with its mother, summoning its original form over.

Before entering the world instance, they found the Death Research Institute, which was sealed there by the Light Society, in the Underground Sanctuary plane.

After eliminating Hela and transforming the Death Research Institute into the Everlasting Light Research Institute, Wu Chang connected the Omniscient Crystal to the institute's central hub, helping He Yun to master the institute's capabilities more quickly.

During this time, the Omniscient Crystal absorbed the power of faith within the research institute, completely digesting the Primordial Spiritual Pivot within its body, growing from a small bi-pyramidal crystal into the black cube before us.

The side of the cube facing Wu Chang rippled outwards like waves, revealing a groove in the very center.

The size of the groove is the same as the size of the Messiah.

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected this development.

"You need it?" he asked the Omniscient Crystal for confirmation.

The Omniscient Crystal replied:
“I need it.”

Wu Chang pressed on, asking:
"what is it?"

The omniscient crystal paused for a moment, then replied:

"do not know."

do not know?
Wu Chang didn't react immediately. During his time with the Omniscient Crystal, he learned that the Omniscient Crystal wasn't truly omniscient, but regardless of whether the Omniscient Crystal knew or not, it would give him an answer.

If it's information that he can't know yet, the Omniscient Crystal will remain silent; if it's a problem of missing information, the Omniscient Crystal will tell him that there is a lack of reference data.

When facing the Demon-Suppressing Blood Talisman in the world instance, it even tells Wu Chang that if the Demon-Suppressing Blood Talisman is involved with the power of the third layer of the Abyss, there may be unforeseen changes.

But this time, the Omniscient Crystal answered that it did not know.

He asked, "Didn't Schultz tell you this when he made it?"

The Omniscient Crystal continued to shake its head and said:
“I knew Schultz was secretly researching something, but he said it was a surprise, so I didn’t investigate.”

Wu Changsi gasped. Even the Omniscient Crystal had kept it from them; the Messiah had indeed been completed by Schultz alone.

He shrugged. Since the Messiah was a gift Schultz left to the Omniscient Crystal, then this gift should naturally be returned to its rightful owner.

He embedded the white cube into the groove on the surface of the Omniscient Crystal, and the enormous Omniscient Crystal matrix began to tremble, with white light leaking out from the gaps between the countless tiny crystals that make up the Omniscient Crystal.

Within the omniscient crystal, some kind of mutation is taking place. Wu Chang doesn't know what will happen, but his intuition tells him that it's a good thing for him.

As the light gradually dimmed, the Omniscient Crystal fell from the sky to the ground.

Its crystal-like luster vanished, as if it had turned into an ordinary stone.

Amidst the sound of the stone slabs rubbing together, the topmost surface of the omniscient crystal seemed to have a lid being lifted from the inside.

The next moment, a mixed-race girl, dressed entirely in white with short black hair and possessing both Eastern features and Western bone structure, crawled out of the omniscient crystal.

Wu Chang's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and his brain temporarily shut down.

No, what's going on?

Is this the Omniscient Crystal cultivating into a human, or its spirit condensing into a form, or is the Omniscient Crystal's true form originally a human?

The Omniscient Crystal seemed to sense his confusion. She tilted her head slightly and said with an innocent look in her eyes.

"do not know."

Wu Chang asked in a daze:

"What don't you know?"

The Omniscient Crystal replied, "I don't know what my current situation is."

Wu Chang covered his forehead, sighed, and said:

"Things happened rather suddenly. Let me take a moment to process what I have to say."

He took off his coat and draped it over the Omniscient Crystal, saying:
"Also, put your clothes on first."

When the Omniscient Crystal emerged from the box, she was naked, and her short hair offered no protection whatsoever. This kind of interaction made it difficult for him to calm down and think things through.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and chose to start by posing three soul-searching questions.

"Who are you? Where did you come from? What do you want?"

The omniscient crystal's answer was very straightforward.

"I don't know ×3".

To avoid wasting Wu Chang's time, she proactively added:
"I have no information about myself in my mind, and I cannot answer any questions related to me."

Wu Chang scratched his head and said helplessly:

"Do you have a name? I can't keep calling you Omniscient Crystal."

The Omniscient Crystal tried hard to recall, and then said:
"My name is Raven."

Wu Chang raised an eyebrow slightly. Raven, that's an interesting name.

He really wanted to ask about the meaning of the name, but he knew without a doubt that the other person would answer that they didn't know.

"Since you don't know what you want to do, then just stay by my side for now."

"But I'm not sure what kind of relationship we have. Now that you've gone from being a prop to a real person, can you still enter the Abyss Game with me?"

This time, Raven didn't say she didn't know; she said.

"I have a solution."

She grabbed Wu Chang's wrist and, using the soul contract between them, followed him into his personal space, from which she took out a mask.

What she produced was the "face of a saint".

The saint's mask is divided into two areas, black and white. Initially, the two are clearly distinct, but as he incorporates virtue and sin into the mask, the boundary between them becomes blurred and slowly moves like a yin-yang symbol.

Eileen resides in the white area; her presence makes the white area appear sacred and solemn, filled with an aura of light.

In contrast, the black part also looks quite remarkable, but compared to the white part, it ultimately lacks the soul that belongs to the black part.

"Item Skill: Shadow of Balance (Blank)"

"Skill Description: Where there is light, there is darkness; where there is virtue, there is evil. You can take on a second permanent spirit. The takeover process requires the target soul to be in a conscious state and to voluntarily become a spirit for it to take effect."

The moment Raven took out the saint's mask, countless silver runes appeared on the black part of the mask.

These runes contain endless knowledge, and a close look can drive one mad. Even with Wu Chang's inspiration and willpower, just one glance made him feel dizzy.

As the raven filled the last gap in the Saint's Relic Mask, the black and white colors on the mask were balanced, and the attribute panel of the Saint's Relic Mask changed along with the dual-colored light.

Item Name: Sage's Remains

"Item Description: Its birth was blessed by light, and its formation was baptized by knowledge. Wearing this mask will make you a saint walking on the earth, the greatest sage in the world. Your appearance will gain great favor from both the Holy Light faction and the Scholar faction."

"Note: It allows one to see the true nature of virtue and sin in the soul, enabling the wearer to gradually break free from blind obedience to the divine and explore the innate divinity within humanity."

Item Level: S (Upgradeable)

"Item Skill: Recreate Your True Self"

Skill Description: Omitted

"Item Skill: Transformation into Immortal"

Skill Description: Omitted

"Item Skill: Saintess Projection"

Skill description: Omitted.

"Item Skill: Raven Projection"

"Skill Description: The Omniscient Raven voluntarily becomes a spirit of the mask, enjoying all the privileges of the true self. You can summon the Raven to participate in battle anytime, anywhere. The Raven's level and attributes will change based on the user's level and attributes."

"Note: The raven's attributes fluctuate in real time following the player's attributes."

Below the raven's projection is the raven's attribute panel.

Raven completes the missing half of the Saint's Relic Mask, giving it two artifact spirits, and it directly upgrades from an A-rank item to an S-rank item.

Moreover, becoming an S-rank item is not the limit for the Saint's Relic Mask; beyond S-rank, there is still a possibility of growth.

According to the artist, the power of S-rank items lies not only in their physical strength, but also in the fact that each S-rank item contains the Primordial Spiritual Pivot and a portion of the Abyss's authority. Even an incomplete S-rank item from the Desolate Realm can influence the deepest layers of the Abyss as long as it can be activated.

Upgradable items are S-rank items that cannot be directly completed due to overly rudimentary materials or processes, and require further completion to achieve their full effect.

Wu Chang suspected that the current S-rank status of the Sage's Relic was purely due to the two artifact spirits forcibly pushing the rank to S, and that its own original essence had not yet been developed.

If the potential of the Sage's Relic Mask can be developed, it will possess the abilities of two S-rank items at the same time. Even if it is not upgraded to SS-rank, it can still be considered an S+-rank item.

Putting aside the item itself, Wu Chang turned his attention to the raven's attribute panel.

Previously, when Wu Chang asked the Omniscient Crystal about the Primordial Spirit Pivot, the Omniscient Crystal said that the Primordial Spirit Pivot has the power to recreate everything and can heal injuries that are otherwise incurable.

The Primordial Spiritual Pivot is a very high-level energy, so high that not only him, but even Eileen, who is only one step away from becoming a mid-level god, could not detect its existence.

In the Desolate Realm, Wu Chang had only ever seen two kinds of beings collect the Primordial Spirit Pivot.

The first one is the Miracle Walker. According to the information gathered from various dungeons, the Miracle Walker should have died once. In order to be reborn, its body was scattered into countless individuals, searching for a way to be completely resurrected.

The second entity to absorb the Primordial Spirit Pivot was the Omniscient Crystal. Therefore, for a long time, Wu Chang suspected that the Omniscient Crystal, like the Miracle Walker, was also part of some being's body, seeking resurrection.

The resurrection of the remnant soul in the Raven's panel proved his guess was correct.

He examined the raven's panel, trying to glean something from it.

He wasn't surprised that the race was listed as "god".

Being able to absorb the Primordial Spirit Pivot and even revive with its help, Raven, even if not a being from the fourth level of the Abyss, must be one of the best from the third level. Beings of this level must possess divinity.

What surprised him was the raven's inspiration and will.

Like Eileen, Raven can inherit his attribute points, and the total number of attributes he has is the same as his original self.

However, the point allocation will be changed according to their individual characteristics.

For example, Eileen's attribute distribution tends to favor energy, while Raven's attributes, apart from being relatively weak in strength, also follow a balanced approach.

What surprised him most was that, with the same attribute points, Raven's Inspiration and Willpower were both higher than his.

It's important to understand that whether they are Abyss game players or Abyss natives, their energy is focused on pursuing physical strength, and they rarely invest a lot of energy in inspiration and willpower.

He thought he was an anomaly, that among his peers, no one had a higher level of inspiration and will than him. But he never expected that Raven was even more extreme than him, with half of his attributes allocated to these two areas.

If he could, he would love to see Raven's skill set to confirm whether she had a skill tree based on inspiration and willpower, or whether she, like him, relied on talent.

Unfortunately, the raven, in its resurrected state, had forgotten everything about itself: its identity, memories, purpose, and even its skills.

Skills may be forgotten, but talents will not.

Raven possesses eight talents, and this number alone is enough to demonstrate how extraordinary her power once was.

If he could help Raven regain her former strength, he would have an extremely powerful ally. However, even if Raven could not regain her strength for the time being, her omniscience and revelation abilities could still be of great help to Wu Chang.

Looking at the raven, Wu Chang recalled the time when he was tackling the Anthem Company instance.

Before he obtained the Omniscient Crystal, he would feel his eyes burning just by looking at it.

When Schultz handed him the Omniscient Crystal, he realized that the Crystal's previous burns on him were actually a form of protection.

When he focused his attention on the Omniscient Crystal, he saw a mass of resentment inside it, a pure, pitch-black resentment without a trace of red.

The moment he felt the urge to investigate and activated his talent for salvation, the scene within that mass of resentment shattered his will. Had he not swallowed a whisper of the nameless one beforehand, forcing him out of the observation state, he would probably have died on the spot.

From then on, he dared not attempt to touch the resentment within the omniscient crystal.

He had always had a question in his mind: why did such a terrifying resentment reside within the core of the Omniscient Crystal?

Now that the raven has appeared, it has answered his question. That dark, resentful aura must be the raven's resentment before it died.

Raven must have experienced great terror and discovered some great secret in his previous life, otherwise his will would not have been shattered by just one glance, and he, whose will and inspiration were stronger than his, would have forgotten everything after his resurrection.

He had a theory that the raven's forgetfulness was likely a way of protecting herself.

He had a premonition that, given Raven's current state, if she remembered the contents recorded in her resentment, she would definitely die on the spot again, and even the S-rank Saint's Remains wouldn't be able to save her.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

The dangers hidden in the abyss are probably more numerous than he imagined.

He snapped out of his reverie and observed the ravens.

Although Raven has been resurrected, she is still in a daze and has little initiative.

While he was thinking, she simply watched him quietly, without saying a word, just as she had when she was still the All-Knowing Crystal, remaining on standby until he asked a question, at which point she would answer.

The raven said, "It's not that I can't take action, it's just that I don't need to at the moment."

Wu Chang suddenly remembered that before, as soon as he had a thought, Raven gave him a direct answer.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, the raven interrupted:

"I can't read minds, I can only see what questions you will ask me in the future."

Wu Chang asked, "Can you see the future a few seconds from now?"

Raven said, "Theoretically, it's ten seconds, but the future is subject to change. If I interfere with the future, it will change accordingly. So in the events I've been involved in, I can see that the future will be shorter."

Wu Chang clicked his tongue. Seeing the scene ten seconds into the future was probably the omen in Raven's talent. If this talent were used in battle, it would be absolutely terrifying.

Similarly, his skill, Wu Xiang, relies on anticipating the enemy's moves based on his understanding of martial arts.

Raven omens, on the other hand, are true premonitions, not only clearer and more specific, but also free from deception.

A glimpse into the whole reveals the extent of a leopard's power; this single talent alone demonstrates just how formidable Raven must have been in the past.

And with such a strong talent, there are at least eight ravens.

Wu Chang wanted to chat with Raven a little longer, but he saw the lights in the settlement space start to flash, and it seemed that the Abyss Game was trying to get rid of him.

He said to the raven, "We should go."

The raven didn't speak, but followed behind him without thinking.

Wu Chang asked, "Do you think we'll appear in the Realm of Reason or the Desolate Realm when we leave this time?"

Raven said, "In the Desolate Realm, you will have to wait until you enter the Abyss Game again to undergo the ascension ceremony and enter the Realm of Reason."

The raven transformed from the omniscient crystal into human form, and its tone of voice changed from a cold electronic voice to that of a normal person.

The same content can convey different meanings depending on the tone of voice. For example, Raven's answer at this moment is very relaxed, showing that he is extremely familiar with the existence of the Abyss Game.

He asked, "Do you know all this because of your omniscience, or because you were once a player of the Abyss game?"

The raven replied, "I don't know."

Wu Chang shook his head slightly and chose to exit the settlement space.

Just as the raven had said, he was back in the public area of ​​the wasteland in a flash.

However, the public area in front of him was somewhat different from the one he entered before entering the world instance.

He glanced at the system time; only ten hours had passed from entering the world instance to completing the settlement.

In just ten hours, the desolate realm was reduced to a scene of utter devastation.

The plaza area, which should have been a safe zone, was half-collapsed, and even the tavern where players often gathered was reduced to ruins.

Apart from the towering clock tower that remains unchanged when entering the world instance, the desolate realm seems to have experienced a major earthquake.

He stomped hard on the floor tile. Although the tile did not break, it left fine patterns on it.

This means that the Crimson Courtyard in the Wasteland is no longer an invincible peaceful zone, but can be destroyed to a certain extent.

He opened the properties panel to see the Bureau's report on the matter, but found that the app developed by the Bureau with the highest authority in the Wasteland could not be opened, and even the icon had turned into garbled text.

Not only that, even when he tried to teleport into the Crimson Wave Space, the system prompted him that the coordinates were incorrect and that the private space did not exist.

He's a little numb, can anyone tell him what happened?
