This assassin is upright

Chapter 169 A Piece of the Truth (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Blue Star, the Temple of Divine Revelation.

A group of powerful people gathered again, and the atmosphere was solemn.

A few minutes ago, they were still regretting that Yu Zhun's clearance was not perfect, but now...

"I've inquired about it. The dungeon [Purgatory Arena] has disappeared from all server worlds." Ji Ruoxu said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure whether it will reappear in the future, but it's highly unlikely."

They were also watching the battle and clearly saw the shocking scene of the [Purgatory Arena] being completely shattered.

"Moreover, compared to what Atinus mentioned in the copy, the [Purgatory Arena] itself is no longer important." Ji Ruoxu's expression became a little more serious.

"Old Ji, is what Atinus said true?" Lillian couldn't help but ask, "Is the God-Revelation World really a copy?"

"Regarding this question, this instance itself actually gives us the answer." Ji Ruoxu spoke slowly, "Parallel matching, bloody light column and bloody kill list, as well as the special function of watching the game..."

"These can all be found in the divinely inspired world."

"From this perspective, it is very possible that the divinely inspired world is a copy."

"The most obvious evidence is that we have never seen an existence above Lv90 in the divinely inspired world."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the god-level beings in their cognition have never appeared in the divinely inspired world, and at most they have sent down very low-level projections.

Instead, it is their own real world that gods can enter.

Before, [Flame God] Lorcras raised the price by talking with Zhu Xiuming on Blue Star.

Before, everyone thought that this was due to the requirements of the Palace of Gods and Demons or other reasons, but now it seems that this may not be the case.

Any copy has a level cap.

If the divinely inspired world is also a copy, with a level cap of Lv90, then this problem can be perfectly explained.

only…

"What exactly is the difficulty of 5A?" Zhu Xiuming rubbed his brows, "What is the difference between it and 4A?"

"I have no way of knowing the answer to this question." Ji Ruoxu shook his head helplessly, "But I have a guess."

"Players above the second level cannot stay in the divine world, but they always need a way to improve."

“Perhaps when you reach that level, you need to enter a 5A difficulty dungeon, and the Divine Revelation World is the only 5A difficulty dungeon at the second transformation stage, similar to the difference between [Netherworld Abyss] and other dungeons.”

"And the God-Revelation World is also the key to continuing the second transformation." Ji Ruoxu said in a deep voice, "Atinus mentioned that passing the [God-Revelation World] is the way to the third transformation."

How to become a god is a very important issue for the atheist world, but this issue is always kept secret by the gods and the gods themselves.

Now, they have some crucial clues.

"That being said, how do we clear the Divine Revelation World?" Tang Yulong showed a helpless expression, "Clear all the dungeons here? Or kill all the wild monsters here?"

"Let's put aside how to clear the level for now. Even if we want to clear the level, we have to reach Lv90 first." Zhu Xiuming lowered his voice and said, "Regarding the relationship between the [Third Transformation] and [Degenerate God], [Instance] and [World] mentioned by Atinus, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed at the same time.

This topic is the most crucial message given by Atinus.

Unfortunately, Atinus only revealed the tip of the iceberg, and was wiped out by the Palace of Gods and Demons along with the copy.

But, just the tip of the iceberg is enough to make people think deeply and terrify.

“Perhaps we can make an assumption first.”

Thorne, who had been silent the whole time, seemed to be thinking deeply. "What the Palace of Gods and Demons actually wants is the [Myth Fragments] after the world is destroyed."

"After all, this is something that even gods are crazy about. If measured by [God and Demon Medals], it would take 2000 medals to exchange for one."

Normally, a non-native god could only earn 2000 medals by being hired to protect a world for a year.

The price of a [Myth Fragment] is already quite high.

And when a world is destroyed, obviously there is more than just one fragment.

"If that's the case, why doesn't the Palace of Gods and Demons just destroy the worlds one by one?" Ahsoka said in a low voice.

"There are two possibilities." Ji Ruoxu said in a deep voice, "The first possibility is that forcibly destroying a world will cost the Palace of Gods and Demons a lot. They hope there is an easier way."

"The second possibility is that the Palace of Gods and Demons has been subject to other restrictions and interference in this matter." Ji Ruoxu paused slightly, "From the current contacts, the Palace of Gods and Demons should be a force formed by some very powerful people at a very high level."

"But are they the strongest forces at their respective levels? Are there other forces that are as powerful as them or even stronger than them? Due to our limited status and vision, it is difficult for us to know."

"If so, other forces might, for some reasons, obstruct and oppose them from directly destroying the world."

Zhu Xiuming nodded, agreeing with Ji Ruoxu's analysis.

"Keep talking."

"If for this reason, the Palace of Gods and Demons cannot directly destroy worlds one by one, and they covet the [Myth Fragments] after the worlds are destroyed, they may choose the method of slow infiltration."

“Use a medium to indirectly eat away at the world.”

"[God's Revelation World] is such a medium." Ji Ruoxu said slowly according to his own thoughts, "This copy connects one world after another, weaving a sweet trap in the name of the game."

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

Even though they had not experienced it, they understood the scene when God's revelation first came more than a hundred years ago.

A game that allows for consciousness projection, sensory sharing, and even the ability to bring in-game abilities into reality, possessing extraordinary powers.

This brought a huge impact to the Blue Star at that time.

Everyone regards it as a great opportunity and wants to invest everything they have in it in exchange for a chance to soar to success.

In order to maintain the order of reality, the official authorities at the time had issued a ban prohibiting everyone from entering the divinely inspired world. However, how could a world that could be entered with just a thought be truly banned?
If it weren't for the fact that one could no longer enter the divinely inspired world after death, and those who lost the qualification would have to return to real life as if their dream had been shattered, then the order of the real world would have collapsed long ago.

Presumably, it is the same in other worlds when God's revelation comes.

This is a trap that there is no way to avoid!
“At first, everything that the divinely inspired world showed us was beautiful.” Ji Ruoxu spoke slowly, “But after ten years, when the first level of protection ended, everything changed.”

"For the first time, we know about the crisis of the world. In order to prevent the world from becoming a copy, we need to constantly enter the dangerous 4A copy, earn the [God and Demon Medal], and obtain the protection of the gods from the outside world."

"Everything depends on others."

The strongest people present were silent at the same time.

It was at that time that the Temple of Divine Revelation stepped forward, ended all the chaotic order on Blue Star, and established a completely new order.

Because in this crisis, civil unrest is certain to lead to death.

This stage has continued to this day.

Over the past few decades, no one knows better than them how huge a price Blue Star paid in order to avoid becoming a copy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the cost of these efforts, when converted into resources, is enough to produce five strong men above the second level. There is only one way to get out of this situation.

That means gods will appear in the local area and the country will no longer be controlled by others.

This is what the strongest people present thought.

But now, this expectation seems to be in question.

The one above the second level is actually not a god, but a third level?

In order to get the world out of the second level of protection as quickly as possible, the Palace of Gods and Demons defined the third-level players as [Sub-Gods], forcibly lowering the level of gods by a large stage, so that the second level of protection can disappear faster?
Thinking about the ultimate goal of the Palace of Gods and Demons, there seems to be a more terrifying crisis hidden in it.

The local gods who maintain the fate of this world are actually just third-level players. So when they encounter more powerful beings, do those real gods really have the power to fight back?

Will they fall into a more dire crisis situation, or even reach a certain level where they will be quietly wiped out?

Thinking of the four gods who fell at the same time in the 10343 world, and thinking of the copies of the worlds they had entered, each of which once possessed gods, the hearts of the powerful men slowly sank.

Without local gods, people will struggle to survive in exploitation.

Having local gods, security and peace are just an illusion.

It seems that no matter how hard I struggle, the world will become a copy.

Feeling the increasingly heavy atmosphere in the hall, Ji Ruoxu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, and said what he was thinking, "Actually, I have always had a question about the copy."

"Nothing can come out of thin air, so where do the experience, equipment, and various items we gain from raiding dungeons come from?"

"The Palace of Gods and Demons covets our world. Will they really be so kind as to give us these things and make us stronger?"

"Wouldn't it be better for them if all worlds became copies 10 years after the advent of the divine revelation?"

“It wasn’t until Yu Zhun turned a copy back into a world that I had a vague suspicion.”

Ji Ruoxu's expression was extremely solemn. "The duplication is a restriction on the world, but it does not mean that the world is really heading towards destruction."

"If it is so difficult to destroy a world, then the world should have the power to protect itself."

"And when we conquer dungeons and gain rewards, we are gradually eroding the world's power to protect itself."

"When our encroachment reaches a certain limit, the world will be completely destroyed, and the Palace of Gods and Demons will be able to easily obtain the [Myth Fragments]."

"In the past few decades, there have been many cases where permanent copies have disappeared from all server worlds." Ji Ruoxu said calmly, "We also know that there is hope that copies can turn back into worlds."

"but…"

"Have the disappeared copies really all turned back into the world?"

"is it possible…"

“They’ve been completely destroyed.”
-
"So... we are not only accomplices in destroying other worlds, but are also doomed to fail in preserving our own world?"

Ji Xiaoyu murmured palely, his eyes blank.

After hearing Yu Zhun, Shalevin and Yu Zhu's analysis of those few short sentences mentioned by Atinus, she felt like her worldview was about to collapse.

The other members in the meeting room also had heavy expressions, feeling helpless and powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

Keep conquering dungeons to become stronger?

This is accelerating the complete destruction of other worlds.

But if you don't conquer the dungeon, the Blue Star will quickly turn into a dungeon.

"Atinus is indeed a very powerful person." Yu Zhun sighed softly, with a bit of admiration in his eyes, "He buried all the information in the copy."

"The perfect way to clear [Purgatory Arena] is actually hinting at something."

"Different worlds are killing each other. No matter how strong you become or how many copies you have, you can't escape the doomed ending. So pure killing can't lead to a perfect clearance."

“But those who see through everything and survive to the end will also be wiped out by the Palace of Gods and Demons, and in the end, nothing will be left.”

"So, no matter what choice you make, it's a dead end."

"Then...what should we do?" Su Yue wiped her red eyes and asked weakly.

Yu Zhun was silent for a moment, and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

"Just do it."
-
"I don't know what will be waiting for me after I become stronger, but I know that a weak person who allows others to bully others will never be able to change anything."

After saying this, Thorne turned and walked out of the hall.

Inside the hall, the other eight most powerful men were all silent.

After a while, the depressing atmosphere was relieved a little.

"Yeah." Zhu Xiuming suddenly shook his head and smiled, "Knowing so much, what can I change?"

"We will become stronger eventually."

“No matter how hopeless the road ahead is, from the moment God’s revelation came, there is no turning back.”

Even if they become coveted prey and used pawns, they cannot sit still and wait for the world to become a copy, waiting for players from other worlds to attack the copy and destroy their world.

"Work hard to become stronger." Zhu Xiuming sighed, "I'll wait until I reach Lv90 to see the world after the second transformation."

"As for now..."

"Let's first think of a way to resolve the [First Transformation Kill Order] issued by Server No. 23993."

"What a shame." Tang Yulong sighed, "Yu Zhun didn't get the perfect first pass of the cross-server this time... oh no."

Noticing the murderous looks of the other strongest men, Tang Yulong shook his head, knowing that he had spoken out of turn.

"That's not what I meant. I meant... Ugh!"

He slapped himself in the face and said, "Mine, mine."

"As for the [First Transformation Killing Order], there is no need to worry too much." Ji Ruoxu shook his head slightly. "Although we did not achieve a perfect first cross-server clearance, because the dungeon allows spectators, Yu Zhun has become famous in various servers for killing many sons of God in succession."

"This can be considered a blessing in disguise, and indirectly achieved the expected result."

"You are just a son of God, nothing more than that." Ahsoka crossed her arms and raised her head slightly, "It will be easy for us assassins to take action!"

Everyone couldn't help but show a look of contempt.

If I remember correctly, Ahsoka has never killed a God-level player in the former Hundred Gods zone, right?

But to be honest, when the powerful warriors in the viewing space saw Yu Zhun suppressing the players of the same level with great force, killing gods and Buddhas, they really felt very happy.

Their Blue Star finally has a promising younger generation!
