I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game
Chapter 479-2: The Defining Power of Chaos Authority, the True Meaning of Disorder (2)
The Servant of Knowledge coughed lightly twice, interrupting Lin Xun’s nonsense behavior, and continued explaining, “The moment you imagined the true Lord appearing in this world, your Chaos Authority had already started taking effect.”
“But because your authority power is still far too weak, you fundamentally cannot define that uncertain possibility as a true existence, so with your authority power alone, it is impossible to make the true Lord appear here.”
“As for the act of creation you just imagined, or even the creation of an intelligent lifeform, that is likewise impossible… mm, I should not say it that way. Perhaps it is also possible, but it is far beyond what the current you can achieve.”
“When your authority power is sufficiently strong, if you imagine and define things in the same way, then indeed a full-bodied, beautiful woman will, because of what you imagined, take the wrong road and accidentally enter this place.”
“Because the future footsteps and direction of that woman are full of uncertainty, while your authority power can, according to your description, your imagination, and the definition you provide, define her and fix the direction of her future, thereby allowing that woman to come here.”
“The power of Chaos Authority is also far more than just this. You can define Shells and flesh, and you can define souls and authority, you can even define all things.”
“When you truly reach that unprecedented height, everything you imagine can be realized because of the Chaos Dominion!”
Lin Xun felt incomparably shaken. According to the Servant of Knowledge’s explanation, if Omniscient True Knowledge’s Omniscient Authority was ‘what I see, I obtain,’ then his Chaos Dominion was ‘I think, therefore it is.’
The former I referred to Lin Xun himself, while the latter it referred to everything he imagined.
But when Lin Xun thought this far, a question arose in his heart.
Since his authority power was still not strong enough, to the point that he could not even make a big-wave beauty go astray, then how exactly had he brought Omniscient True Knowledge into the real world?
The Servant of Knowledge was like a kind and benevolent mentor, able to answer all of his questions, and so he continued explaining, “You imagined it, and you defined it, but because your Chaos Authority is still too weak, you could not achieve it.”
“But do not forget, the true Lord analyzed you. He also possesses Chaos Authority.”
“Using the concepts and terminology of this world, although the true Lord was unable to analyze this authority fully and the Chaos Authority He possesses can only be called an imitation, it can still exert some of the effects of the original.”
“The true Lord sensed your imagination and definition, and thus responded to your request. By borrowing the power of both of your Chaos Authorities, He defined that uncertain possibility as real, and then… He came.”
After understanding this chain of cause and effect, Lin Xun felt countless emotions rise in his heart.
“So in other words, the reason Omniscient True Knowledge could come to the real world is all because of me… if I had never gone into the World of Omniscience, then none of this would have happened.”
The Servant of Knowledge shook his head. “The very reason the true Lord went to that world, which has now become apocalyptic wasteland, was precisely because He foresaw that you would arrive. So all of this was destined to happen. There is no other possibility like the one you imagine.”
“And how do you know that everything happening now, including the true Lord descending into what you call the real world, was not already within His foresight?”
“Perhaps He had already foreseen everything, including His descent into the real world because of you, and also the entire future course that would follow after His descent…”
The Servant of Knowledge’s words only made Lin Xun feel more horrified the more he thought about them. If Omniscient True Knowledge had already foreseen every future course, then what did the end of time, the final ending of everything, look like?
Had every one of his steps, every one of his choices, been within the calculations of Omniscient True Knowledge?
The Servant of Knowledge smiled faintly. “Perhaps once that was true, but the existence behind you is even stronger than the true Lord, and the true Lord cannot predict the future of that existence.”
“And now that you possess Chaos Authority, you too have already become an existence that cannot be observed and cannot be foreseen.”
“The true Lord may foresee a certain amount of future, but you are the one who defines the direction the future will take, because only you can truly use Chaos Authority to define that uncertain future as real.”
“To be honest, I never believed that the true Lord’s Omniscient Authority would ever encounter a natural counter, but your appearance shattered that understanding.”
“Have you ever thought about the fact that your Chaos Authority is not only the true Lord’s counter, but also His savior and good fortune? Because if the true Chaos Dominion and the Omniscient Dominion were to cooperate and bring forth their power together, what a magnificent sight that would be.”
“The true Lord would foresee every possible future, and you would choose from among those countless roads the single most correct one, defining it as true, making it become the actual future…”
“Perhaps that is the real reason why the true Lord responded to your request and appeared in the real world.”
Lin Xun suddenly understood. So the reason Omniscient True Knowledge had come here was to cooperate with him.
To be honest, he did not really feel any hostility toward Omniscient True Knowledge, and in fact even had quite a lot of favorable feeling toward Him.
But that could not serve as a reason to cooperate. True gods had no absolute concept of good and evil, and cooperating with Omniscience made it very difficult to guarantee that He would not bring irreversible and terrible effects to the real world.
And would The Book of Salvation allow an Apostle to expose the coordinates of the real world?
Would The Book of Salvation allow an Apostle to cooperate with the Source of the Apocalypse?
He had inadvertently brought Omniscience into this world, so what would happen if The Book of Salvation discovered it?
Had The Book of Salvation perhaps already discovered everything now, and was merely waiting for him to enter the game again to punish him?
Lin Xun had too many concerns, so many that he fundamentally could not consider cooperation at all.
He suddenly froze, realizing that he seemed to be living entirely under the shadow of The Book of Salvation.
If The Book of Salvation, because of Omniscient True Knowledge, were to punish him, he would not even have the power to refuse or resist, because all the strength he currently possessed had been bestowed by The Book of Salvation.
Lin Xun shook his head and took a deep breath, discarding those tangled thoughts.
Regardless of whether cooperation could ultimately succeed, and regardless of what choice he would eventually make, it did not stop him from using this moment to learn from the Servant of Knowledge the secrets the Librarian had been unwilling to tell him.
“Servant of Knowledge, can you tell me what Disorder really is?”
Upon hearing this question from you, the kind and benevolent smile on the Servant of Knowledge’s face gradually disappeared, and his expression became incomparably solemn and serious.
He slowly said, “Disorder is the endpoint of all things. Disorder is Ragnarok of the gods, and Disorder is also the curtain-fall of all worlds.”
“Disorder is merely the name for it in their world. In different worlds, Disorder also has different names. Some worlds call it confusion, some worlds call it evil, some worlds call it entropy increase…”
“To explain it using the concepts and cognition of this world, in the most straightforward terms, Disorder is a Great Filter, a Great Filter that no one can cross!”
“All gods, every divine being… in the end, all of them must face Disorder!”
“There is not a single god who can pass through this Great Filter called Disorder.”
“Countless main gods have all once imagined what kind of free sight it would be if one could pass beyond the shackles of this Great Filter called Disorder.”
“So the gods have given this sight, which no one can witness, a name…”
“Transcendence!”
