“Dragonborn Lord, you aren’t thinking of descending into that world again, are you?!”

The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly came back to herself, abruptly stood up, and asked with a frightened expression.

Of course Lin Xun knew what the Nine-Tailed Fox was worried about. Back then, the evil god’s corruption of the entire nation of Sakura Falls had not only cast a considerable psychological shadow over him, but had also left an indelible psychological shadow over the Nine-Tailed Fox.

But the current him was no longer what he had once been. Not only had he obtained immortal-level power, he also possessed the ultimate weapon that was Chaos Authority.

Chaos Authority could bypass the hellish game’s skimming. He only wished the Vermilion Empire’s power system were even stronger, and that there were even more god-level beings.

Because those gods were the key to increasing the power of his own authorities!

Seeing that the Nine-Tailed Fox was showing somewhat listless symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, Lin Xun gave her a proper round of encouragement.

After flesh and spirit intertwined, the Nine-Tailed Fox completely swept away her dispiritedness and began yearning toward the grand promises the Dragonborn Lord painted for her.

Because the Vermilion Empire was the true place of origin of the Nine-Tailed lineage, as well as the gathering place of many great yokai. The Dragonborn Lord told her that perhaps by descending into that world again, she could find the key opportunity to help herself increase her strength.

Before reopening the Evil God chapter, Lin Xun still had much preparatory work to do.

The first thing he had to do was obtain information about immortal grade permissions from the Librarian.

[…]

[Beneath the enormous Book of Salvation, the Librarian is leisurely reading the book in his hands.]

[You step forward to greet him and indicate to the administrator that you need to know more information about the apocalypse…]

[Without even raising his head, the Librarian says, Apostle, he has reminded you many times not to cross the line, yet you keep trying again and again to make him overstep the rules…]

[The administrator suddenly stops midway through speaking, carefully sizing you up from top to bottom, then says in surprise, Eh? How have you forged immortality already? So fast?]

[The administrator adjusts his monocle and continues, Apostle, he will not interfere with the various means by which you obtain Divine items from the real world. This only counts as a kindly reminder.]

[Although the level of authority power is indeed very important, the degree of control over that authority is also indispensable.]

[Rapidly increasing authority power while actually having a low degree of control over it is like gaining the body of a powerful boxer without inheriting his refined techniques. You will be unable to display true strength in the ring.]

[It is also like a three-year-old child holding a firearm. He may injure himself before killing the enemy.]

[There are no real shortcuts to improving control over authority. Only through persistent use and training can you steadily improve.]

[Raising the level of authority quickly is not the goal. Truly bringing the power of authority under your control is what is most important.]

[These are the advice and reminders he gives you. Whether you listen or not depends entirely on yourself…]

Lin Xun’s gaze became complicated.

What the administrator said certainly made sense. If he had not learned that The Book of Salvation was secretly skimming, then perhaps because of the administrator’s words, he might have understood the hellish game’s chokehold behavior.

The game was not choking him, nor was it restricting his growth. Rather, it did not want him to possess power that he could not control, did not want power to control him.

What The Book of Salvation advocated was for you to become the master of power, not the slave of power.

But now that he already knew of The Book of Salvation’s secret skimming of Divine power, the Librarian’s words gave him the feeling of a prostitute building a shrine to her chastity.

The degree of control over authority power was the Apostle’s own issue, whereas whether to provide enough Divine items was The Book of Salvation’s choice.

When paying wages, a boss could not very well dock an employee’s salary by saying, You can’t spend that much money anyway. I’m afraid you’ll become a slave to money, could he?

That was bandit logic, plainly an excuse to cover up exploitation.

[Seeing you continuously nod and humbly accept his words, the Librarian continues in satisfaction…]

[Now that you have forged immortality, you have the authority to obtain more information about the apocalypse.]

[The first piece of information he is going to tell you is… the Disorder you have been puzzled by!]

[Disorder is only one conceptual name for that horrifying thing. The corruption of the sun, the malice permeating the world, the mist filling the land, all are among the manifestations of Disorder…]

[Disorder is The Book of Salvation’s greatest enemy, and also the ultimate enemy of countless gods.]

[According to The Book of Salvation’s deductions, all things in the world will eventually be swallowed by Disorder, bringing the vast void universe into a state of thermal death.]

[Disorder is a terrifying existence that even The Book of Salvation avoids at all costs…]

[Even the omnipotent Book of Salvation can only temporarily coexist with Disorder, barely maintaining things until the arrival of the second critical point.]

“The second critical point? What does that mean?”

Lin Xun frowned.

[The Librarian continues, do you still remember the information he revealed to you before, when you reached the demigod realm, that the real world has protection?]

[What protects the real world is not any other thing, but the terrifying Disorder itself!]

[Because the existence of Disorder is also a kind of alternative warning color, a kind of alternative protection…]

[When the concentration of Disorder in a world reaches the first critical point, that world will welcome an extinction apocalypse at the level of life itself. All living beings will go mad and lose their minds, and in the end no intelligent life will remain in the world.]

[After the first critical point, Disorder will continue to spread until it reaches the second critical point. At that time, the world will be completely destroyed on the physical level. Whether microorganisms, inorganic matter, or even the planet itself, all will be destroyed and disintegrate.]

[Only the lingering Disorder will remain, continuing to spread through the vast void…]

[When the concentration of Disorder in a world exceeds the first critical point, no living beings can exist in that world. Even lofty gods, if they continue remaining there, will accelerate the process of Disorder corroding themselves, and so they will flee that world in fear.]

[If an exiled evil god wandering through the vast void happens to pass by such a world and notices that the world’s concentration of Disorder has already exceeded the first critical point, that evil god will immediately keep far away from it.]

[The first reason is that in a world already filled with Disorder, there absolutely will not exist any gods it needs to devour.]

[The second reason is that even roughly sensing such a world would cause the Disorder within it to stain the evil god itself, let alone descending into that world.]

[For worlds already destroyed by Disorder, even powerful exiled evil gods avoid them at all costs. So Disorder is both the greatest enemy and, at the same time, indispensable protection.]

[At this point, the Librarian cannot help sighing and says that the existence of The Book of Salvation is both stronger than you imagine and weaker than you imagine…]

Lin Xun’s eyes widened.

The Librarian said that The Book of Salvation had always kept the real world before the second critical point. That meant the real world had already exceeded the first critical point.

In other words, the real world had long since been destroyed!

And he, together with the countless people on this planet, all lived within the fabricated world of The Book of Salvation!

The Book of Salvation used Disorder as a smokescreen, as a warning color and protection, to avoid the observation and invasion of evil gods because The Book of Salvation also had an extremely weak side!

[T/N: Could brainrot be a sign of Disorder in our world xD]
