Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 63 The End of the Gods, The Book of Truth

The moment the subtitles indicate that the CG is playing.

Suddenly, Lin Ke's consciousness seemed to enter a terrifying world.

This is a world where the sky is filled with billowing black smoke.

Amidst the black smoke, from an overhead view, one can even vaguely see a large number of ancient buildings shrouded in it.

Unfortunately, the world shrouded in black smoke was utterly desolate.

There was no sound, and no living creatures were moving about.

The place was eerily quiet and deathly still, like a world in the ruins of an apocalypse.

Looking down from above, Lin Ke felt a tightness in his chest.

At that very moment, high above where Lin Ke Vision was located, came a series of heartbreaking and unwilling cries.

A deep male voice: "It shouldn't be like this~"

A disgruntled woman's voice cried out, "We've tried everything, why can't we stop this from happening?!"

A weeping female voice: "Is only end and destruction what awaits us gods and our world?"

A loud male voice: "The world on the other side has been corrupted by the destructive power of calamity. We must not let our world suffer the same fate. So, the only option left is to offer ourselves up."

A voice of agreement: "Yes, as long as faith remains, our true spirit will eventually allow me to return to the mortal world at the appropriate time. It's time to make the final decision."

A resolute female voice said, "Then, everyone, regardless of whether we were enemies or friends before, now that things have come to this, what is there to hesitate about? Let us offer up everything we have to seal that star path. We must block this channel through which calamity spreads."

An inhuman voice: "Okay!!!"

A somber voice said, "There's no other way! Because of our carelessness, we've all been anchored to disaster. If we don't gamble everything, the whole world will be utterly hopeless! Let's gamble everything."

"."

Then, just after these sounds subsided, Lin Ke saw that the entire country shrouded in black smoke suddenly burst forth with dazzling white light.

The white light illuminated everything, even causing white flames to rise throughout the entire kingdom.

White flames burned everything, and at that moment, all matter in the entire kingdom seemed to rapidly transform into specks of light and drift towards the endless sky.

At that moment, Lin Ke couldn't help but close his eyes!

It was all so blinding, shrouded in a blinding white light, that he couldn't see anything.

At that moment, Lin Ke's consciousness suddenly and unexpectedly returned to the body of the Rock Steel Dragon.

Everything I just saw and heard, though it only lasted three to five minutes, felt like a dream.

But Lin Ke knew that all of this was real.

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden cutscene 'Divine Echo' with the minimum requirement of Tier 5.]

You have discovered the true nature of the entire world, and you have obtained the last relic left by the 'God of Truth and Knowledge'.

[Reward issued: Book of Truth (Fragment) - Divine Rank]

[The Book of Truth (Fragment) - Divine Rank: This is a divine gift from the God of Truth and Knowledge!]
power:

1. True Deconstruction: Passively analyzes any magic, combat skills, alchemy, or other systems of power encountered, and automatically generates books that can be used for learning and training. (Fragments, currently only available for deconstruction of powers below the high rank, requires consuming equivalent magic power for a deconstruction ritual, which can be replaced with magic crystals).

2. Root Link: Upon active activation, it can sense all believers within a 500-mile radius, excluding non-believers. It can also seal and release the abilities of believers. (Fragment, only retains the power to restrain the souls of believers, consuming equivalent magic power; magic crystals can be used instead.)

3. Temporal Authority: Automatically binds to the player's consciousness and is not subject to any temporal or spatial restrictions, but it will be suppressed by different rules in different worlds. Please explore the details yourself.

(The power anchoring effect of the corresponding deity's divinity has been removed. It is untradeable, cannot be dropped, and is limited to the player 'Lin Ke' and the character they play.)
???

Lin Ke fell silent.

The terrifying information presented in the cutscene, along with the reward, greatly shocked Lin Ke.
Therefore, he was immediately plunged into a brief state of confusion.

But at that moment, Oleg, the resident teacher who was inside the steel cage below, suddenly widened his eyes!
It was only a blink of an eye!
But at one moment, Oleg suddenly saw what appeared to be a phantom of a sacred book behind the dragon!

At the same time, Oleg clearly sensed the thrill and joy that arose spontaneously from his spirituality, along with a feeling of worship that arose in his heart!
"How could this be?!"

"How is this possible!" Oleg's mind was in turmoil once again!

This feeling is clearly expressed in the records of the Church of Truth.

Only when devout believers sense the presence of deities in their surroundings, or even when they have an audience with the deity they worship, do they experience this intense sense of pilgrimage.

Moreover, according to the records of the Church of Truth, the God of Truth and Knowledge is indeed depicted holding a divine book.

Therefore, when he vaguely saw the fleeting phantom of the book pages behind the dragon and felt the continued worship in his heart, the resident Oleg could no longer hold back!
"My Lord!!!"

Suddenly, Oleg, the resident teacher, shouted out involuntarily, just as the dragon was looking down at him and even seemed to be thinking about how to deal with them.

???

At this moment, York and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Even the Lionheart Knight beside Oleg suddenly looked at him with a blank expression.

But Oleg, the resident teacher, quickly realized what was going on.

The gods they currently possess could never be their gods of truth and knowledge.

After all, the gods of truth and knowledge descend to earth, and in all the records, they have descended in the form of saints, saints, or even the Pope.

A giant dragon?

How could the God of Truth possibly use such a foreign body as his proxy?

Moreover, the God of Truth and Knowledge wields a divine instrument containing an entire book of truth, not just a single page.

But regardless, Oleg had already realized what was happening.

This deity must be related to the God of Truth.

'Did a rival god steal a page from the Lord's book?'

That's absolutely impossible.

The divine artifacts are defiled; in the numerous ancient records of the Church, there has never been a case of a deity being able to use the divine artifacts that embody His divine rules and authority.

Therefore, there was only one possibility that Oleg could guess.

That is because the current deity has an extremely good relationship with the God of Truth, which is why he was given a page of the Book of Truth.

Even His descent to the border of the Church of Truth may be inextricably linked to the plans of the God of Truth.

"Is the mortal world truly destined to repeat the chaos of ancient times? So, the God of Truth, together with this unknown deity, is involved in shaping the future of the mortal world?"

At that moment, Oleg recalled what the Yorkes had told the businessman about the chaotic changes in the world.

So, here's a comparison of the before and after!

Everything is right!
This is an oracle from the God of Truth! It indirectly reminds them, the earthly believers in truth, through the words of this unknown deity's favored one.

Yes! Everything fits together!
As for why this unknown deity chose York as its chosen one, and even prevented York from directly informing the Church of Truth, thus arousing suspicion among them.

All of this now seems to have some reasonable explanation in Oleg's eyes.

Because all of this must be the arrangement of fate, just like in many ancient stories where the fates of gods and mortals meet, thus triggering a series of sacred tales.

York may seem ordinary, but its destiny is certainly extraordinary.

Even if His Majesty had informed the Church of Truth from York in the first place, the mortals of the Church of Truth might not have believed him.

After all, the Church of Truth has changed a lot.

If York were to inform the Church of Truth directly, it would undoubtedly bring even greater trouble to the Swamp Territory and even to His Majesty, who has not yet fully received divine power.

Oleg was acutely aware of the current state of the Church of Truth, so much so that he once felt a deep sense of despair.

Furthermore, is it possible for mortals to participate in the descent of gods to earth?
Their reluctance to reveal their existence must stem from a scheme or arrangement for the mortal world; it could even be interpreted as a way to shield themselves from the gaze of other gods.
