Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Ancient Revelation Book

Originally, Yang Qizhou was still relatively calm...

After all, he had seen his share of the world. He had even managed to bring down three gods, and the Quasi-legendary artifacts in his possession weren’t limited to just one.

Epic-tier materials?

An ancient book capable of piercing through the fog of history?

An invitation to a secret gathering?

Calm down. These are just small matters. Nothing worth making a fuss over.

But when he saw the words "Foolish Snake Skin," Yang Qizhou could no longer keep his composure. "I was just wondering when I’d be able to gather the deactivation materials for the ’Lucky Coin.’ Unexpectedly, one of them got served right to me in no time..."

"Trade it with the ’Remains of Teasing Evil’?"

"It seems this ’Nameless’ gathering is one I must attend, and it’s even scheduled before ’Wisdom Divine Envoy’ Salma."

"After all, I’m using his invitation, and the ’Remains of Teasing Evil’ were his as well."

"Moreover, due to the reset of the world timeline, Salma still retains possession of the [Remains of Teasing Evil] and the [Nameless Invitation]."

"If Salma gets ahead of me and trades for the Foolish Snake Skin,"

"That would be a huge loss."

Thinking about borrowing the ’black hat’ alias of Wisdom Divine Envoy Salma to attend the secret gathering of the Nameless—and potentially setting him up for a fall—Yang Qizhou couldn’t help feeling giddy with excitement.

Temporarily setting aside the [Remains of Teasing Evil] and [Nameless Invitation], Yang Qizhou turned his attention to the [Ancient Revelation Book].

Could it uncover some truths behind the fog of history?

Who knows what it might reveal.

After contemplating for five seconds, Yang Qizhou resolutely decided to use it.

The text refreshed on the phone screen...

"You have opened the ’Ancient Revelation Book.’ The ancient past unfolds before your eyes."

"In the distant Second Epoch, a Dark Star fell from beyond the universe. From its descent, a great entity came into existence. He is the trumpeter of Doomsday, the jester who teases the crown, the angel of judgment seated on the throne of the sky, the king at the end of the River of Death,"

"He is the true deity,"

"The Fake Gods deteriorate, rot, and fall before Him."

"Doomsday begins with Him, radiating outward across the cosmos. His kingdom descends amidst the apocalypse."

"In ancient times,"

"The sky once challenged Him but lost an eye. Death once challenged Him but had its symbol torn apart."

"’Doomsday’ is not an end, but a beginning."

"All life will attain eternal life in the apocalypse."

...

...

The revelations turned out to be Second Epoch secrets?

Yang Qizhou was astonished.

"According to the description by the ’King of Giant Gods,’ at the end of the First Epoch and into the early Second Epoch, an unforeseen catastrophic event befell the land, catching all the ’Old Gods’ and ’Ancient Dominators’ off guard. To counter this sudden calamity, the ’Lord of Night’ ascended to godhood and became the universe’s ’pillar.’"

"Okas was also sealed and imprisoned by the ’Lord of Night’ during that era."

"Could it be that the Dark Star falling from beyond the universe was one of the factors causing the Second Epoch’s disasters?"

"And Wisdom Divine Envoy Salma, who meticulously preserved and safeguarded the [Ancient Revelation Book], clearly regards its opposing contents as highly significant."

"Perhaps the Evil God he worships,"

"is connected to this enigmatic Dark Star."

The information gathered so far was abundant but fragmented, making it impossible to piece together a coherent conclusion.

Yang Qizhou could only record the content for future reference, waiting until he could uncover related hidden truths to supplement and synthesize the information.

Then he redirected his focus back to the game.

As for the two choices...

Trailing Wisdom Divine Envoy Salma again was, of course, out of the question. He had already obtained [Ancient Revelation Book], [Remains of Teasing Evil], and [Nameless Invitation], none of which were particularly powerful artifacts. Doing so again would be redundant, akin to unnecessary effort, and would carry the risk of wasting precious revival attempts.

Instead, it might be better to explore other possibilities...

So without hesitation, Yang Qizhou chose the first option.

...

...

"You watch Wisdom Divine Envoy Salma leave but do not follow."

"You remain in a ’Hidden’ state... the other party does not notice your gaze, though they feel slightly uncomfortable and glance around in confusion."

"You leave the area,"

"You decide to take a stroll around ’Asgard.’ However, aware of the filth and evil hiding beneath its sacred and pure surface, you choose not to deactivate the effect of the ’Hidden God’s Clothes.’"

"You wander aimlessly."

"You continue wandering."

"You spot the earlier ’City Defense Officer.’ On the surface, this guy appears to be a defender of ’order,’ but secretly he desecrates it through acts of cruel slaughter; absolutely reprehensible."

"You feel indignant, recalling the unfavorable experiences from a previous timeline."

"You decide to trail him in secret, wondering if you can exploit him just like you did with Wisdom Divine Envoy Salma."

"You are tailing him,"

"You continue tailing him."

"After an unknown length of time, you suddenly see him enter a secretive corner where another man is standing. Beside them is a writhing sack. You don’t know what’s inside, but the odds are high it’s a person."

"You carefully listen to their conversation without being detected."

"The ’City Defense Officer’ speaks excitedly to the other man... Praise disorder, my dearest friend; is this today’s goods?"

"Indeed. Inside is the son of Jilv Ancient God’s Apostle, around seventeen years old, having awakened faint extraordinary powers—perfect for your embrace of the great ’disorder.’"

"The man’s tone is nonchalant, as if the sack only contained insects."

"You then overhear the ’City Defense Officer’ proclaim fanatically... In Asgard, slaughter is a grave crime governed by the ’Order Ancient God,’ but the more I desecrate order, the closer I can embrace the shadows. Soon, soon—the false gods shall be torn apart, and the truly great beings shall return."

"You see the man’s eyes flash with fervor as he agrees with the ’Patrol Officer’s’ words."

"Both men shout praises to ’disorder.’"

"They then go their separate ways."

"You are left in deep thought..."

"The son of Jilv Ancient God’s Apostle being treated as nothing more than goods for trade? Unbelievable. Who knew the ’Patrol Officer’ and his accomplices could be so audacious,"

"And the ’Patrol Officer’ does so to entertain the deity he secretly worships, as acts of slaughter are dire crimes that desecrate order."

"A chill runs down your spine; the darkness of Asgard is just a glimpse of its true horror, raising disturbing questions about what other terrible secrets this ’God’s Fortress’ might conceal."

"Having lived through the outcome of this fate in a previous timeline, you already know the tragic end awaiting this child and feel a pang of regret for him."

"You choose not to continue trailing the ’Patrol Officer’ but instead decide to leave,"

"After all, the ’Heroic Spirit Hall’ has yet to be found. The ’Lucky Coin’ is there as well, and the ’Circle of Friendliness’ was once enshrined there,"

"Finding the Heroic Spirit Hall is the priority."

"With this thought in mind, you begin to wander aimlessly yet again."

...

...

"So this is the true face of ’Asgard’? A land of old riddled with mystery and fear, where the sacred and sinister coexist, where terror and deceit are woven together—even a fortified sanctuary of divine nations such as ’God’s Fortress’ has been infiltrated by the Evil Gods and resembles a sieve,"

"It’s truly... twisted."

Yang Qizhou couldn’t help but sarcastically remark,

It’s no surprise he felt the need to express this sentiment. Despite his game character’s extensive plot experiences, in reality, he had only just arrived in Asgard, encountering merely two NPCs—Wisdom Divine Envoy Salma and the Patrol Officer—

both secretly worshiping Evil Gods.

Moreover, the gods they worshiped seemed to be at odds, as the ’City Defense Officer’ had thanked Yang Qizhou for reporting the game character to him, claiming that the deity Salma followed was a twisted Evil God from the Doomsday Land, and eliminating Salma would dispel the Order Ancient God’s suspicions about him.

If you were to say that just two believers of Evil Gods couldn’t prove the corruption of Asgard...

Yang Qizhou would slap you across the face.

Asgard, such a vast God’s Fortress, and only two clandestine Evil God believers hidden in the darkness? And they both just happened to encounter the game character?

Ha ha ha...

Not even ghosts would believe that.

When one cockroach appears in the sunlight, countless others may already be swarming in the shadows.

If you casually meet two Asgard residents, and both have ties to ’Evil Gods,’ then what about the others? Who can guarantee their purity?

The issues within this ’God’s Fortress’ may be far more severe than initially imagined.

Yang Qizhou pondered deeply, although he didn’t feel much emotional connection, as, from his perspective, [Deceit World] was merely a text-based adventure game—utterly incapable of stirring genuine empathy.

"Let’s just... keep playing for now."

...

...

"You continue wandering,"

"You are still wandering."

"Through the idle gossip of Asgard’s residents, you learn the approximate location of the ’Heroic Spirit Hall.’"

"You head toward the ’Heroic Spirit Hall,’"

"Turning a corner, your eyes are greeted by a majestic and expansive Holy Temple, with a grand staircase consisting of 3,333 stone steps. Towering statues of heroes stand to the sides, each over a hundred meters tall—some wielding massive swords, others clad in armor. Though they are merely stone sculptures, they impart a strong sense of intimidation."

"So this is the ’Heroic Spirit Hall’? You murmur to yourself, feeling an immense sense of awe,"

"Your gaze shifts to the grand entrance, where a ’Prayer Box’ stands one meter tall, its interior overflowing with gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins,"

"You become eager and excited. You know full well the ’Lucky Coin’ is within."

"You are in a ’Hidden’ state,"

"You gingerly ascend the stairs and reach the ’Prayer Box,’ contemplating how to discreetly take the [Lucky Coin]."

"You decide to give it a try,"

"You reach out your hand."
