I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 395-2: Astonishing Battle Record, Authority of the Immortal Realm (2)

Yun Capital City, Apostle Security Council headquarters building.

Li Long stared blankly at the phone on his desk.

At last, the phone rang, and the caller was precisely the person he had been waiting for.

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he pressed the answer button. “You brat, you finally decided to call me? If you’d waited any longer, I would have thought you had died a glorious death.”

Lin Xun’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Uncle Li, I’m reporting in to you with the news at the very first moment.”

“So? How are the results this time? Among the lower-tier Disciples, did they eliminate one or two?”

Li Long was, of course, aware of how brutal the Disciple War was. Otherwise, he would not have prepared the Escape Bookmark for Lin Xun in advance.

Though he was planning to make Lin Xun a Saint, rice had to be eaten one mouthful at a time and steps had to be taken one at a time. You could not become fat in a single bite.

Judging by the rules of the Disciple War and Lin Xun’s strength, he still had a long way to go before he could become a Saint.

If he could survive this Disciple War and place somewhat higher among the Disciples, that in itself would be steady progress toward the plan’s final goal.The fact that Lin Xun could cheerfully call to report his results naturally meant he had not used the Escape Bookmark to flee the war, but had instead survived to the end.

Whether he had joined forces with Amos or simply clung on in some corner until the war ended, as a newly cleared sixth-difficulty Apostle, merely surviving a war among a bunch of high-difficulty Disciples was already a huge victory.

Lin Xun’s tone grew a bit more serious. “Uncle Li, this Disciple War was even more brutal than we expected. Only one survivor was allowed in each of the upper-tier, middle-tier, and lower-tier Disciples.”

Li Long’s heart lurched at that.

In past Disciple Wars, it was common for one or two people to be eliminated in each region, but eliminating three and leaving only one victor was extremely rare.

The number of times in all the many Disciple Wars that only one winner was left could be counted on one hand.

Since Lin Xun was still alive, either he had used the Escape Bookmark, or all the remaining lower-tier Disciples were dead.

He instantly thought of something and asked at once, “Is Amos dead?”

“No. It’s just Amos and me left.”

Li Long: ???

“You brat, can you stop squeezing the toothpaste?”

“I ask one question and you only answer one line. Didn’t they say three people would be eliminated? How are both you and Amos still alive? Which of you used the Escape Bookmark?”

Lin Xun scratched his head. This really was one of those things that took forever to tell, like a kid with a long-winded story about his mother.

Under Li Long’s forceful insistence, he truthfully reported the course of the war. In any case, this information was no secret. The authorities would know sooner or later.

“Uncle Li, it’s not that only Amos and I are left in the lower-tier region. It’s that, for the entire Disciple War, only Amos and I survived.”

“No, that’s not quite right. There’s also First Disciple Solomon. Even soul annihilation didn’t get rid of that guy. He’s really blessed with ridiculous luck…”

Rather than doubting his own ears, Li Long doubted more whether Lin Xun’s mental state had gone wrong.

What did he mean by only the two of them survived the entire Disciple War?

Wait a second. You two bottom-ranked Disciples managed to team up and punch your way through the Disciple War?

You actually killed all the mid-tier and upper-tier Disciples and won in the end?

Li Long had also passed through the demigod stage and naturally understood the huge gap between mythic grade and mythic+ grade. Even if two bottom-ranked Disciples were both mythic grade, the idea that they could kill all those mythic+ Disciples was pure fantasy.

After confirming it over and over, Li Long fell silent.

He knew that, although Lin Xun usually messed around and never acted serious, he would not joke about things like this.

Lin Xun had not joined up with Amos to defeat all the mid-tier and upper-tier Disciples. He had, by himself, slaughtered his way through the entire Disciple War.

He had cut down every demigod and top demigod ranked above him.

The only reason Amos was still alive was that his ability to read the wind and bow to the tide was unmatched. He had submitted early and become Lin Xun’s lackey…

As for the high-ranking Disciples who had refused to submit, such as Vishnu, they were now all very, very dead.

If he had not confirmed it repeatedly with Lin Xun, a battle record this outrageous would have made Li Long think he was dreaming.

He did indeed have a plan to let Lin Xun slowly grow step by step into a Saint, but the plan had only just begun…

It was as if Tang Sanzang had just taken the Monkey as his disciple and was about to begin the eighty-one trials of the pilgrimage to the West.

But then this unreasonable monkey just hoisted his master onto his back, did a single somersault of 108,000 li, and in a blink arrived before the Great Thunderclap Temple on Sacred Mount Ling.

The monkey solemnly told his master, “You, go in and get the true scriptures. I’ll wait for you outside. Make it quick. I’m in a hurry…”

The plan was still at the starting stage, yet Lin Xun was already telling him that 90 percent of the plan was complete and there was only one final step left before he became a Saint.

Even though Li Long was long used to storms and waves, he could not help feeling utterly dumbfounded.

“Are young people nowadays all this intense…”

Having unknowingly been given the title of ‘King of Tryhards,’ Lin Xun continued, “Uncle Li, after you achieve the immortal realm, what does the Librarian tell Apostles? Could you give me a heads-up in advance?”

Li Long finally came back to himself and took a deep breath. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s that I can’t tell you yet.”

“You can try it yourself. If you reveal the truth that the Librarian has told you at your current stage to someone who doesn’t know, you’ll immediately receive a prompt and warning from the game.”

“If you want to learn the truth, you can only rely on your own strength. For the weak, they don’t even have the qualifications to know the truth. For them, perhaps staying ignorant and in the dark is the happiest fate.”

“Someone has to silently bear the burden and push forward in the places they cannot see. Only then can everything before their eyes appear so peaceful and stable…”

After instilling a dose of ‘guard against arrogance and impatience’ into this junior he valued so much, Li Long hung up the call and walked over to stand before the floor-to-ceiling windows…

“This kid has definitely concealed part of the secret of his soul talent.”

“But then, anyone who reaches this point, who among them is mediocre? Who would lay bare the very foundation they rely on for survival?”

Li Long naturally understood Lin Xun’s actions. Even in the organization’s top-secret archives, not even his own soul talent was recorded truthfully.

In fact, the soul talent on record did not resemble his true soul talent in the slightest.

When Lin Xun had told Li Xingyue about his Thousand Faces, Ten Thousand Forms soul talent and that talent which could increase his Shell Slots, under Li Long’s instructions, Li Xingyue had altered the soul talent on record beyond all recognition.

It was not that he distrusted the organization’s confidentiality protocols. It was that he knew anyone with a soul of that nature was destined not to be ordinary.

“Immortality, truth… and who can say that the truth obtained at the immortal realm is the whole picture?”

“Perhaps only the Chief Chairman and the Master of the New World, that existence who has become an eternal true god, are qualified to see through everything.”

“We, no, all Apostles, are merely the chess pieces of these two people who are most likely to become the Savior. Only by fighting with everything we have can we follow the tracks they have drawn in advance and carry out the plans they each laid long ago.”

“Lin Xun, can you jump off the chessboard and become a new chess player?”

“Can you add another possibility for our salvation?”

Li Long gazed silently at the streams of traffic in the city and the multitudes struggling laboriously for their lives as he asked the question in his heart without a sound.
