Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

[Glorious Deed (Personal/Church of the Starry Sky): Ownership of Knowledge - In a power struggle with the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, you consistently suppressed your opponent and emerged victorious. Most importantly, throughout this power struggle, you single-handedly defeated your opponent, seizing ownership of the authority of knowledge from the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. This is a glorious deed, and your astonishing deeds are not only sung throughout the Apocalypse World, but even among the gods themselves!]

[Apocalypse 3.0 version "Echoes of Doom" has ended. Apocalypse will then undergo a 24-hour downtime update. After 24 hours, the new version pre-release will be available on time.]

[The name of Apocalypse 4.0 is "Beyond Doomsday", please stay tuned! ]

"Beyond Doomsday?"

Seeing the name of the new version, Zhou Ning couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This version lasted for several months, which was considered to be the longest in recent versions, but why did it feel like the next version would be very long?

According to previous information, everyone's destiny will reach its end in November 1457, which is the so-called destiny singularity. Now it is December 11, and there are still three full years to go.

Through the simulated world of the evil reincarnationist, Zhou Ning could guess that the end of the world was likely related to the return of the Creator God and the second invasion of the Apocalypse World by the powerful outer gods among the stars.

Everything I experience now, including the process of time travel and growth, is filled with a strong sense of fate.

So what role will he play in this apocalypse? Will he be a savior?

Zhou Ning feels that as the game plot progresses and his own level gradually improves, all the secrets will eventually be revealed one by one.

Following that were several update announcements for the new version 4.0. Zhou Ning only took a quick glance and knew what was going on.

The 1 pre-launch period is expected to last about a month, during which the current total level cap will remain in place. The cap will be increased to level 4.0. The new level cap and new class content will be lifted after the official release of version 110. During this period, players will receive a 4.0% bonus to experience points, and new players will have a catch-up mechanism to help them level up faster. Players will be able to attempt to achieve the Angel achievement after the update is complete. Similarly, the first player to achieve the Angel achievement will receive the corresponding milestone. (This process is very challenging and requires both hard work and luck. Let's wait and see.)

[2. During this period, players will no longer be restricted by reputation when traveling across realms. More hidden quests, new professional mentors, and more will be gradually unlocked, and NPC favorability will play a more important role.]

3. A new, ultra-large raid, "Shadow of the Gods in Waters Ancient City," will officially open after maintenance is complete. This dynamic raid can accommodate up to 400 players and features six raid groups and six hidden bosses ready for players to challenge. Each boss has its own unique loot. Note: This raid is extremely difficult, so please be fully prepared before taking on the challenge. The first three teams to clear it will receive a corresponding milestone.

[4. After the launch of version 4.0, the Council of Knowledge will close its membership channel and become a hidden sect. The Cult of the Curse will also close its membership channel. Players who have joined these two sects should return to their original path in a timely manner.]

Looking at these update records, Zhou Ning nodded slightly.

This update was undoubtedly very beneficial to him. After a long period of management and leading the meta, the Church of the Starry Sky was now the first choice for almost all Apocalypse players. Moreover, unlike the faction rivalries in other games, he was the sole beneficiary. As levels gradually unlocked, players could become angels, even angel kings. It was hard to imagine the extent of this boost to him.

Zhou Ning expressed great anticipation.

At this time, players were also discussing the plot and reluctantly preparing to log off as the game maintenance countdown began.

This also foreshadows that the entire third version of the "Apocalypse" game has finally come to an end.

Just like before, just before players chose to log off, they all saw a series of flaming summary texts, which looked very epic:

On December 1453, 12, the seventh power war in the history of Apocalypse came to an end. Wayne Stewell, the Son of the Era and the new God of Knowledge and Desire, led the Church of the Starry Sky to a decisive victory over the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in this power war, perfectly seizing the power of knowledge. This is not history but myth. As participants, you will also become a part of this myth, immortalized alongside Apocalypse.

Congratulations, you have achieved the milestone: Witness Immortality!

Seeing this, players admitted they were thrilled. Despite the difficult process and the horrific deaths, just like in Souls-like games, there's often a sense of pleasure in suffering. Particularly for those deeply immersed in the game, seeing the final scene made it all worth it. They're ready to follow Wayne in the next update! As for the rest of the story, they're naturally curious, but that curiosity will have to wait until the series airs.

Zhou Ning calmly watched the players log off one after another and continued to look at the task requirements.

As a large main task, this task can be settled midway, but there is no need to do so. The next tasks should be very simple. The most difficult part has passed, and now it is time to reap the rewards.

But at this moment, he chose to put the mission aside and instead came to Guarani. This was the most important reason why he chose to use the power of wish to maintain the City of Omniscience.

It is very likely that Guapapao is not really dead, but in front of him, even if he dies, he has to peel off a layer of skin first.

At this time, Guarani's divine body had completely collapsed, and due to the Trinity, like the previously fallen gods of craftsmen and alchemy, he had not yet separated out his divine nature.

But is that the end of it?

Zhou Ning reached out and grabbed the Ring of Usurpation, placing it close to the wreckage on the ground.

The next second, Zhou Ning could faintly hear the curse, "Wayne Stewell, you shall not live well!" He scratched his ears, pretending not to hear. He watched as the scattered divine light points regrouped, forming an illusory figure that flew towards the Usurpation Ring, slowly activating it. The eight previously dim "sword" markings lit up one by one, emitting a dazzling light.

When the light completely dissipated, it seemed that luck was a bit bad this time, and a ball of light appeared, but its brightness was amazing.

"You have obtained the authority of books (sub-authority of knowledge authority)*1, which can enhance the authority of knowledge."

Zhou Ning suddenly realized that this should be similar to the authority of misfortune to the authority of destiny. It is an additional type of sub-authority that can be merged into the authority.

Although its specific function is unknown, it must be connected to the world in the book and the authority of knowledge.

Zhou Ning planned to wait until he had sublimated his knowledge authority before performing a ceremony with the time authority. By then, it should be a significant improvement, enough to lay the foundation for his own achievement as a true god.

Zhou Ning put it back into the inventory along with the Ring of Usurpation. Now it was time to start completing the subsequent tasks and complete the sublimation of knowledge and authority.

Now I naturally do not have the ability to redistribute knowledge. First of all, I should control the City of Omniscience and obtain the Book of Omniscience (the book of knowledge and wisdom).
