Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Through the half-open door, Zhou Ning could vaguely see the situation inside the door.

It was very similar to what was seen in the TV series. Inside was an extremely vast ancient city-state full of desolation and decadence, directly illuminated by the dazzling sunlight. Everywhere was filled with large areas of deep darkness and obscure crimson mixed together, looking like a contrasting ink painting.

Amidst the slowly drifting miasma, volcanic pumice, and volcanic ash, Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment, but decided not to rush in immediately. Instead, he beckoned his royal scout, XB, over.

"I have a mission for you. I need a trustworthy chosen one to explore the general situation inside the ancient city of Waters. Can I trust you?"

Although XB kept dying, and still ended up on the clown track, it was undeniable that he was quite skilled at exploring the path. He had already died to the point where he couldn't lose experience, and the price of death was very low. He only ate grass and squeezed out blood, so it was safer to let him go in and explore the path first.

"Boss Wayne, are you still not confident in my ability to do things?"

As expected, I'm the one who's most trusted at critical moments...

Feeling the envious and jealous eyes of others, XB held his head high, XB patted his chest wildly, XB made a promise, XB swore, XB said he was going.

Who gave him such confidence? Zhou Ning curled his lips, smiled silently, and casually issued him an exploration mission, watching him enter the kingdom of God with great vigor and confidence.

Only about three seconds later, XB's avatar in the team interface turned black, and he really left.

Half a minute later, he returned from the corpse run and entered the Kingdom of God again without a word. Sometimes, if you run the corpse fast enough, you can pretend that you have never died.

This happened four or five times in a row, and finally there was progress. Zhou Ning saw no less than twenty kinds of BUFFs appearing on his body, such as burning, ignition, burns, being stared at by spiritual creatures, freezing, being cursed, and being mind-controlled, but he was still alive. After 3 to 4 minutes, a long scream was heard from inside, and XB's avatar finally turned black.

About two minutes later, xb came back from the corpse runner and described the situation inside with a look of horror on his face:

"The area ahead is full of flying books. As soon as I entered, an old man's voice asked me questions. The monster density is slightly lower than before, but the level is still very high. I dragged the corpse several times before I could get in. In the end, it seemed like the God of War cleared me out and killed me instantly. It shows here that an unknown target caused damage to me."

"God of War? How is that possible?"

Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows, and a strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

XB's narration was typical player language, which Zhou Ning could certainly understand. The one asking the question was naturally Guarani's will. The special mission "The Meaning of Knowledge II" that Zhou Ning had been working on had similar requirements.

[Special Mission: The Meaning of Knowledge II. (Note: This mission will affect all other transcendents in the corresponding system, please choose carefully)]

Mission Description: Some say knowledge is happiness, because possessing knowledge means being able to distinguish between true and false purposes, between noble and base things. Some say knowledge is power, because possessing it allows you to discern what is worth striving for.

You've replied with your answer, but Guarani, the god of knowledge and wisdom, has some follow-up questions for you? Perhaps you can think of this as a confrontation between those with the authority of knowledge.

[Quest Requirements: Knowledge and Authority must be at least Mastered. Go to the ancient city of Waters.]

But the question is why would the God of War attack him? Although XB is a bit ugly, he is not so ugly that he is hated by gods and ghosts.

Wait… Zhou Ning suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be another character from the book world? As one of the two most prominent gods, the God of War had a prominent presence in Genesis.

He had already anticipated the God of War's sudden appearance, and now he wasn't too shocked. Having already won two rounds of power wars and seized a portion of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's authority, he wasn't far from completely mastering it. Having achieved his initial goal, Guarani wouldn't allow himself to lose again.

After the recent battles, Zhou Ning has confirmed Guarani's insidiousness and cunningness. He will definitely not give up so easily. He must have a backup plan, and it might be the God of War that XB encountered.

Zhou Ning settled the mission reward for xb, and used the Eight Bullets to pull himself out from five minutes ago while holding the Nine-Turn Lotus Lantern.

The other self nodded to Zhou Ning in a friendly manner, threw the Nine-Turn Lotus Lantern, which had five minutes of usage left, to Zhou Ning, and then quietly disappeared in the long river of time.

From now on, he must avoid large-scale deaths of players as much as possible.

Then, Zhou Ning did not hesitate any longer. Holding the Nine-Turn Lotus Lamp in his hand, he walked straight forward into the thick darkness.

No matter what powerful enemies lie ahead or what difficult challenges lie ahead, Zhou Ning can no longer turn back.

……

Turn back time 1200 breaths.

Inside the dark church, three golden spheres were floating. Inside the spheres seemed to be various characters performing various stories. One of them had become dim.

This is the world in the book, which is manifested by Guarani, the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", using His authority of knowledge, reading and creation.

Guarani suddenly opened his eyes, and purple sword energy burst out from the second golden sphere, instantly shattering the dream world.

"The result of this assessment is that I still underestimated Wayne Stewell and failed to test his true strength. This time I lost."

The dark-shrouded God of Death Yukkiel smiled peacefully and said:

"No, actually, we won. With the help of the many wars launched by the God of War and the gifts of the Chosen Ones, I have basically returned to my former self. Although I'm not at my peak yet, your mental plague should be completely eradicated, right? Shouldn't we begin our plan now?"

"Yes," Guarani said calmly, "In approximately one hour and forty minutes, ordinary humans will lose their knowledge. This knowledge will be distributed to all extraordinary creatures, friend or foe."

"Master knowledge and wisdom, redistribute knowledge and wisdom, create all things, absorb the flame, and embrace death. This is the necessary ritual for me to return to my true self, merge myself, and achieve my old self."

"But before that, I must win this power war. Otherwise, our fusion won't be perfect and there will be certain hidden dangers."

In the darkness, a rough voice asked:

"Are you confident that you can defeat Wayne Stewell in the final round of the power war?"

"Always." Guarani smiled and said:

"The battle for power in the realm of knowledge relies on more than just force. And now I can identify the opponent's weakness. As long as time and space can be blocked, his divine descent will be ineffective."

"As for the failure of the last blockade attempt, I've found the reason. There's a powerful deity among them who holds the authority over time and space. It was He who broke through the blockade last time and disrupted my plans.

"But I made a prediction through the Great Prophecy Technique. That deity will definitely not connect with us in the near future. This proves that Wayne Stewell's divine descent must have a certain degree of randomness, otherwise the prophecy would not have produced this result."

"Time and space do exist in the Kingdom of God, but they are extremely thin. In the final power war and the final battle, I will use the Shroud of the Creator God to seal off the Kingdom of God and the world in the book."

"As the embodiment of knowledge and wisdom, I will try my best to weaken the opponent with my words, but this may not be effective."

"However, without the divine descent and summoning abilities, Wayne Stewell's true combat power should not be enough to defeat us."

"What will the next power war look like?" the rough voice continued.

"It will be you, it will be my old friend the Elf Goddess, it will be one of the scenes that Wayne Stewell least wants to see."
