Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

The scene switches, and after Guarani's defeat in the dream war, he hilariously endures attribute inversion and becomes a muscular brother. Then he finally gives up his unrealistic fantasies, takes the last step towards achieving his old self, and begins to reclaim his knowledge.

This shot has the feeling of a magical blockbuster. With the majestic BGM playing, Guarani distorts the distance between the City of Omniscience and the Book of Omniscience, making it fall directly on his head.

Guarani raised his hands and pushed the Book of Omniscience into the sky, connecting it with the City of Omniscience hanging high above the Kingdom of God. A vague holy word echoed repeatedly throughout the Kingdom of God and beyond:

“Knowledge is the world’s only true, absolutely perfect, and ultimate source of power. Possessing knowledge means possessing true wisdom, true insights, and the power to achieve extraordinary things and to confront them.”

As the holy words echoed, the dim symbols on the Guarani altar lit up one by one.

A moment later, a massive torrent of knowledge surged into the depths of the ancient city of Waters from all directions of the entire Apocalypse World.

Then the scenes switched one after another. A helmsman who was steering the ship lost his knowledge, and the ship tilted rapidly. A teacher on the podium lost his knowledge and was speechless. A tour guide who was explaining the city scene suddenly got stuck and looked around blankly, not knowing where he came from or where he should go.

The wisdom has disappeared from the eyes of countless people. They have forgotten their knowledge and returned to stupidity.

If you look from a bird's-eye view, you can see that the animals that were originally dressed in human clothes, as well as the characters in the book who performed themselves in various ways, have all lost themselves and turned into nothingness.

Countless golden threads quickly connected to the City of Omniscience, suspended above the black spire of the church. From there, they connected downward to Guarani, making him appear like a puppeteer controlling countless puppets.

The sound of the BGM became faster and faster, more and more urgent, and then the notes suddenly exploded, becoming more and more passionate.

The computer gave Wayne Stewell a close-up. He raised his head and looked up at the sky. Then he reached out and held his hat with his hand. His eyes were solemn. He said in a low voice:

"Just keep going."

"The sooner we reach the depths of the ancient city of Waters, the greater our chances of victory."

The optical computer simultaneously typed out this sentence on the screen, and the countdown time was in the middle of the top of the screen.

00:04:59

This is the time when the Guarani complete their rituals and fulfill their past.

Seeing this, Zhou Ning curled the corners of his mouth. The editing technology of the optical computer was getting stronger and stronger. Originally, Guarani here had achieved the old days before he arrived at the Cathedral of Light of Knowledge, but under its deliberate editing, it was as if the apocalypse world was about to explode after the countdown ended.

Even he, the person involved, couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

Here, the optical computer uses a bird's-eye view to directly raise the viewing angle. You can see that in the canyon ahead, the black fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the road is almost occupied by densely packed undead creatures.

Countless undead creatures emerge from the soil, from the cracks in the space originating from the spiritual world, and from various corners, giving people an intuitive sense of fear.

This place is actually a shadow for many players. The undead are endless and impossible to kill. It feels a bit like a battle royale. You can only pass through it quickly by following the protagonist. But later it was transformed into a team, and this place became a treasure land for leveling.

At that time, Zhou Ning, who was in the middle of it, had not yet realized that he really gave people a full sense of security. He made two consecutive wishes, "I hope that all the dead souls will be buried", "I hope that all illusions will return to nothingness." The bright white moonlight fell on its own, casting countless pale halos.

Combined with the Nine-Turn Lotus Lantern's inherent ability to exorcise evil spirits and purify dark creatures, all undead creatures within a ten-meter radius simultaneously developed circles with the word "Soul" embedded within them on their foreheads. Then, one by one, pale flames ignited, emitting a sizzling sound as they transformed into torches that illuminated the path ahead.

The scene was extremely spectacular, magnificent to the extreme, leaving the players stunned. The barrage also reached its first climax at this time:

"Offer your faith to Boss Wayne!"

"This is my husband, the most handsome and reliable man."

"Goosebumps!"

As Zhou Ning led the players through the canyon unscathed, the computer also marked a legend at the top of the screen:

"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Wayne Stewell, in the kingdom of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, used the power of a wish to summon countless pillars of light that instantly killed tens of millions of undead souls, protecting his followers from being killed."

At this time and place, the BGM becomes more and more urgent. As the perspective advances, there is a thick and broad black spire church building in front. Countless giant crows made of books are flying around the church, forming a huge black vortex.

The golden threads connecting from all directions have become dense to an extreme, which means that the ancient ceremony of Guarani's achievement has come to an end.

There is a small episode here. The knowledge guard in charge of guarding the church raised three questions, namely: "What can devour all birds and beasts, trees and flowers; what can gnaw on steel; grind hard stone and eat it; what can kill kings, destroy city walls, destroy a prosperous kingdom, and even knock down mountains?"

"That which some seek to hide, and others to deceive, everyone but the gods will eventually encounter. Do your best to guess its name. When you finally meet, you will finally know its name."

"What's taller without a head than with one? But it actually has a head."

The optical brain gave the standard answers in advance, which were time, death and pillow.

Edited by the computer, this scene features players coming up with all sorts of bizarre answers, all while being unlearned. Suddenly, a myriad of powerful curses appear above many players. Almost instantly, the number of players is halved, and they all dissolve into white light and fly away. It's both tragic and hilarious. The plot's rhythm is perfectly executed, with a measured pace and controlled flow.

Then, as Zhou Ning entered the Cathedral of Light of Knowledge, the countdown above his head returned to zero. But the next second, the scene switched, and Guarani's bold words dispelled the tension, instead creating a sense of humor.

"...Finally, it's done. Although Wayne Stewell's progress was faster than I expected, I only had time to recover about 60% of the knowledge, but this is enough for me to return as my second main body..."

"...We are still in the upper hand. Fate has given me one more chance to fight in the power war. As long as we can win this final battle, we can still reclaim the authority of knowledge. As long as we are careful, Wayne Stewell is no match for us."

"Now let's give Servis and Wayne Stewell a surprise. Sometimes winning first doesn't guarantee winning."

In the picture, dazzling light suddenly rose from the three gods, rising into the air. Three illusory human figures floated out, merged together, surrounded each other, and began to merge continuously.

The optical computer displayed a line of subtitles at this time:

On a certain day and time in 1453, this era finally had a second god who became the Old One.

Guarani took a different approach, splitting his original self into three avatars, each of which became a true god. After hundreds and thousands of years of planning, the three were finally reunited as one.

These were the Great Old Ones, beings beyond human imagination, transcending the laws of the universe. Even the mere sight of them would drive ordinary humans mad, witnessing a glimpse of cosmic truth.

Here, the optical brain emphasizes the negative effects of facing the past:

[Gaze of the Old: All your attributes decrease by 35%, your ability to deal damage decreases by 35%, and your luck is greatly reduced. You will be ostracized by the entire world.]

The perspective of the TV series was refocused on him. He came to the front of the church, put his hands on both sides of the door, and pushed it open with force.

Following a creaking sound, the scene shifted to a first-person perspective. A pool of black blood stretched from the doorway into the interior. Light and sound were swallowed by an eerie darkness, plunging into a deathly silence. Even the light of the Nine-Revolution Lotus Lantern dimmed, leaving only a small ray of light stubbornly illuminating the surroundings.

Books on both sides kept turning into various terrifying creatures and jumping off the bookshelves. There were even numerous torrents of knowledge, books wearing various vests, and undead creatures wandering around.

This is a sign that the authority of death and the authority of knowledge are beginning to coexist.

Even those who didn't play games often felt the power of the Old Ones, but their worries were immediately gone.

Because at the same time, Wayne Stewell's exclusive background music suddenly sounded, and he looked up and said to the players:

"Chosen Ones, you may face a true Old One ahead. Even I'm not sure if I can return alive. Remember to follow me closely. Stay as close to me as possible. I will do my best to protect your safety."
