I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 163-1: The Conditions to Unlock an Exclusive Item, Searching for the Behemoth (1)

[The Servant of Knowledge slowly and resolutely shook its head, indicating that the divine favor had already been set and could not be changed…]

“…When you secretly operated things before and let me draw another time, you didn’t have this attitude.”

Lin Xun was simply at a loss for words.

Receiving a reward he could only look at but not use was undoubtedly an incredibly frustrating matter.

“If I can’t exchange it for another crystal, doesn’t that mean this draw was a complete waste?”

[Clinging to your last shred of hope, you ask the Servant of Knowledge if there is any way to use the crystal normally without causing the Fallen Comet to perish.]

[The Servant of Knowledge ponders for a moment, then tells you there are two methods to extract the power of the crystal. The first is to use the Authority of Time to freeze the soul of the Fallen Comet, thereby enabling you to use the crystal. The second is likewise to use the Authority of Death to forcibly halt the self-destructive behavior of the Fallen Comet.]

[Both of these methods involve divine authorities. With your current strength, to draw upon the crystal’s power, you would likely still need an exceedingly long time to grow before you can even touch the domain of divine authority.]

Lin Xun’s expression darkened.

If he already possessed the power of a god, why would he need to ask the Servant of Knowledge for help?As for those so-called Authorities of Time and Death, no matter how he looked at them, they were not things he could possibly obtain at this stage…

“Wait! The Authority of Death… Could the Eye of the Death-Telling Sea Serpent contain the Authority of Death?”

He hurriedly switched shells.

[You have possessed the shell of the Knowledge-Seeking President of the Direct Vision Association!]

[The Servant of Knowledge seemed unsurprised by your change in appearance, as if it was already accustomed to this.]

[It suddenly noticed the Eye of the Death-Telling Sea Serpent on you. With a half-smile, it looked at you, asking whether you intended to rely on this strange eyeball to solve the problem with the crystal.]

[Before you could answer, it shook its head. While the Eye of the Death-Telling Sea Serpent did indeed contain a portion of the Authority of Death… no, that feeble power could hardly be called an authority.]

[Even though the Fallen Comet was now in a state of nothing but soul, it was still far beyond what such a feeble power could touch.]

[If you could obtain dozens or even hundreds more of such eyeballs, perhaps the feeble power could transform qualitatively, giving you a faint chance to resolve the crystal issue.]

[You fell into a long silence upon hearing this…]

[The Servant of Knowledge continued speaking to you, urging you not to lose heart. Since the great True God bore the revered name of Omniscient True Knowledge, He was omnipotent, and the authorities He possessed encompassed all things.]

[The Authorities of Time and Death were both within the grasp of the True God!]

[Though the Omniscient True Knowledge had fallen into slumber, even a tiny remnant of His authority would be more than enough to solve your current predicament.]

[You looked doubtfully at the Servant of Knowledge, unable to understand why it did not simply use the authority to help you.]

[Seeing your confusion, the Servant of Knowledge explained that the remnant authorities left behind by the True God could not be used at will.]

[As a servant beneath the True God’s throne, it had no right to wield the power of the True God for purposes outside His oracles.]

[However, awakening the slumbering True God was its foremost mission. If you could once again find a Star God hidden in the void and offer up its power to aid in awakening the Omniscient True Knowledge, it would then be able to use the authority to resolve your issue with the crystal.]

So after all this, the Servant of Knowledge had been hiding this intention all along, waiting here to spring it on him.

Lin Xun did not know what to say.

In the Blood Sun World, the giant Dan demanded he complete three Oath Invasions to prove himself before it would unseal his exclusive item.

The Servant of Knowledge was even more outrageous. He hadn’t even seen the attributes of the exclusive item yet, and it already wanted him to find another Star God to unlock it.

“And I have to find a Star God… Isn’t that basically impossible…”

Obtaining the Complete Star Palace Map had already been a fortuitous, coincidental encounter. If he tried to actively search for a similar artifact, he currently had no leads whatsoever.

[Seeing you remain silent for a long time, the Servant of Knowledge encouraged you not to lose hope…]

[…]

[It indicated that the matter of summoning you had concluded, and if you had no other business, it would send you out of the Temple of Knowledge.]

[Would you like to leave the Temple of Knowledge?]

“After all the trouble of entering the temple, shouldn’t I at least fleece it for something before I go…”

Lin Xun remembered that the last time he had been teleported from the Celestial Prison of Captive Stars into the Temple of Knowledge, he had been in a state of knowledge overload, yet he was still able to move freely.

Once inside the temple, the Servant of Knowledge had cleaned out all the chaotic knowledge from his soul free of charge, saving him a bit of soul strength.

At the moment, his Knowledge had already reached 3200/3500, teetering on the brink of blowing up his head. If he didn’t make good use of the free cleansing feature, it would be a waste after all the hemming and hawing of the Servant of Knowledge.

He had a pile of long-hoarded Books Containing Trace Knowledge and Scrolls Containing Ancient Knowledge.

After using a few of these items, his Knowledge quickly reached the threshold.

He switched to a disposable (work) shell to continue absorbing knowledge.

[You have gained knowledge. Your Knowledge increased by 50! Current Knowledge: 3500/3500]

[Your understanding has surpassed the threshold. You have once again glimpsed the Omniscient True Knowledge…]

[Chaotic, disordered Knowledge poured incessantly into your soul. You gradually lost yourself in the sea of Knowledge.]

[Reason slipped away from you as madness filled your mind.]

[In a daze, you saw the Servant of Knowledge gazing up at the dome of the temple with eyes full of worship, fanaticism, and reverence…]

[Your skull exploded with a thunderous crack…]

[You have died!]

[An ordinary wandering soul awakened beside the ancient obelisk…]

[An ordinary wandering soul, filled with chaotic, disordered Knowledge. You should be completely immobilized, yet somehow you could still control your wandering soul. Perhaps it was because this place was too unusual.]

[Current Soul Strength: 1/3]

[Would you like to expend 1 point of Soul Strength to purge the chaotic Knowledge from your soul?]

Lin Xun naturally chose ‘No’, and re-entered the Temple of Knowledge.

[The Servant of Knowledge stood beneath the divine throne, still gazing up at the dome of the temple with that same fervent expression…]

[After a long while, the Servant of Knowledge finally returned to calm. It spoke at length to you, now in your wandering soul state, saying that just now it had felt the True God’s gaze.]

[You are indeed a believer greatly favored by the Omniscient True Knowledge…]

[Once the True God awakens, you may well become a mighty deity under this favor!]

“Don’t feed me empty promises. If I’m so favored, why haven’t you unlocked my exclusive item for free…”

Lin Xun couldn’t help but complain.

[Seeing that your wandering soul was saturated with disordered knowledge, the Servant of Knowledge took a staff from within its robe. With a light wave, a white light enveloped you from head to toe…]

[The disordered knowledge within your soul has been entirely cleansed!]

[Your Knowledge cap has increased. Current Knowledge: 0/3600]

[You have received the effect of Blessing of Knowledge +5. Your Knowledge cap has increased again. Current Knowledge: 0/5200]

After Blessing of Knowledge reached +5, each overload now increased the Knowledge cap by an astounding 1,600 points.

Raising the Knowledge cap would correspondingly enhance Knowledge Skills and Special Skills linked to Knowledge. Lin Xun’s related skills improved by a considerable margin.

Once his purpose was achieved and no new text appeared before his eyes, he selected the option to leave the temple.
