Chapter 99: Insight
Although it descended on Giuseppe Castilla in the low-dimensional "parallel world", through the "Theater of Memory", Abner can also borrow some of the authority of the "ontology", so he quickly "perceived" the differences between this world chosen by the "Hidden Sage" and the real world:
"The royal families and the archangels have become aware of the sudden 'disappearance' of the true God and the King of Angels, and the majesty of the Church of the Seven has been repeatedly challenged during this time......
"Well, this challenge started half a year ago...... It seems that the world is about the same speed as real time...... Although the current countries of the Northern Continent are relatively stable on the surface, under the instigation of various secret organizations, conflicts with the church are inevitable.
"However, this is a normal 'parallel world' evolution, and similar things have happened in many of the worlds I've passed through before, and it's not the result of the 'Hidden Sage' meddling.
"The news of the loss of many '0' seals is normal, after all, some of the seals in the hands of the church, angelic families, and secret organizations involve items that are unique and contaminated with 'essentia', and cannot be manifested in the lower dimensions......
"Huh? Wait...... '0-17' is actually lost...... That's not right!
"Although the 'Mother of Heaven' is the container of the goddess, it is essentially just a 'secret servant' of Sequence 2. I'm afraid it wasn't secretly destroyed by the 'Hidden Sage'!
"The purpose is ...... What if someone discovers something wrong with this world and prevents the 'goddess' from descending with the help of a 'container'? It's the same as when she cleared Abner, Alvin, Dennett, Yin Wensi, Vicente and other 'me' in advance!
"If so, the containers of the other gods will probably be cleaned as well."
Thinking of this, Abner's heart sank, and he stopped browsing the "surface" information of the world, and began to use the "insight" ability in a targeted manner.
"Sure enough...... The Bloodline was exterminated...... Except for the Grand Inquisitor of the God of War Church, all the fanatical believers and scrollers of the righteous and evil gods have inexplicably 'disappeared', and the 'Pale Empress' of the 'Spirit Order' has been replaced......
"The 'Hidden Sage' is really 'cautious'! If Crane hadn't told me that the goddess was leaving the 'relics' of the 'Immortal Ancestor' Gregali, I would have turned around and left, no longer holding on to the hope of 'sniping' her in this world.
"As for Lilith...... since the 'Hidden Sage' ignored Giuseppe, he naturally didn't know Lamia's true identity, so he wouldn't care about a young lady who was transformed into a 'plant', right?"
In the turn of his thoughts, Abner used his authority to probe the "relics" under the ruins of a certain city-state in the "God's Forsaken Land", as well as Miss "Plant" who was eating and drinking with Miss Judy in the city of Fenerport, and a smile appeared on his face, and he thought to himself:
"The Hidden Sage cleared most of the people or things that might have been used as vessels for the advent of the true gods, but it left out Giuseppe, Miss Plant, and Gregart...... Sure enough, it was my 'luck' and her 'disaster'.
"But what kind of 'mysterious' events are she planning in this world?
"The official teams of various countries have no relevant records......
"Well, the loss of the seal or something definitely doesn't count, after all, it is considered the evolution of the world itself, and secondly, it is only known by a small number of high-level extraordinary people, and it cannot be regarded as a mysterious event of the 'continent scope'......
"Let's go and investigate under the villa at No. 28 Kinster Street, where 'Lai Yin' is stored, and maybe we can catch her 'tail'!"
He did what he wanted, but in order to prevent the "hidden sage" from noticing the anomaly, Abner did not "teleport" home, but called a rental carriage.
……
In the living room of the villa at 28 Kings Street, Furth, who was waiting here, saw Hugh pushing the door in, and wanted to ask something with anticipation.
But the latter just shook his head...... This made Furth's expression fall suddenly.
"Abner has been missing for months...... Where the hell has he gone......" Furth slumped back onto the couch with a lonely expression, his eyes filled with sadness as he spoke.
She felt like she might lose her best friend forever.
Hugh was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: "Although I didn't find out about him, I accidentally got another piece of information today, maybe it is related to Abner's disappearance. ”
"What is it?" Furth's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately stood up.
Hugh hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have you heard of the apocalypse?" ”
"Doomsday? I know...... But what does this have to do with Abner? Furth asked, confused.
"It is rumored that the gods no longer answer prayers because they are preparing for the end times......
"When the end comes, the rules will not exist, there will be the resurrection of dead bodies, earthquakes and landslides, flooding of the continent, and ice for thousands of miles...... At that time, the gods will build a 'ship of salvation' to go to the new world......
"The above is the 'prophecy' I heard...... You say, could Abner have also joined this 'salvation' plan and never returned? Hugh said thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Furth slumped on the sofa again, and said angrily: "Hugh, you won't join any unorthodox sects, right?"
"This story is even more exaggerated than mine!"
Hugh pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "But this may be the only possible good outcome for him...... Moreover, this rumor came from the Church of the God of War in Fersak. ”
After that, the two ladies were silent for a long time, and then they went out separately and continued to inquire about the news.
It was only then that Abner, who was hidden in the shadows, appeared, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"The End Has Come...... The apocalypse alone may not be a 'mysterious' event, but when you add those so-called anomalies such as the resurrection of dead bodies, earthquakes and landslides, flooded continents, and frozen thousands of miles, it is different...... In addition, there is the 'Ship of Salvation' and the 'New World'......
"This is a hint of the final 'information coverage' of reality, right?
"Yes, this should be the plan behind the 'Hidden Sage'!
"There are probably three benefits to doing the ritual this way.
"For one, it's secretive enough before the end really erupts, and if I hadn't used Gardelia's promotion ceremony to lock this world, then I might have ignored the world by exploring alone.
"Second, the last memories of the people of this world are probably all various apocalyptic scenes and the 'ship of salvation' leading to the new world...... When such 'information' covers the reality, there is a high probability that there will be quite a few people who really think that they have arrived in the so-called new world...... This means that the godhood ceremony of the 'Hidden Sage' has also been replicated in reality!
"Thirdly, everyone thought that the gods had saved them and invisibly improved the quality of the 'anchor'...... In this way, it is equivalent to selling well to the true gods, and it will not be overly pursued after becoming a god...... At least she won't be besieged.
Of course, this is also in line with the needs of the ceremony, which really hides herself behind the scenes.
"What a calculation!"
