Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

[In the previous life's Apocalypse game, although the Sun Goddess held a high position, she was still inferior to the Creator God in the background story.]

There are four deities with similar power to her: the God of War, the Goddess of Earth, the Goddess of Life, and the God of the Sea. These four deities are nearly equal to her in both power and status. The number of other deities appearing in the game's background is close to double digits.

[But in the current world, the Sun Goddess is the only supreme being. She, along with the other two righteous gods, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Goddess of Life, are collectively known as the Three Great Gods, ranking below the Sun Goddess.]

These three great orthodox churches almost completely dominate the faith of the Kingdom of Bryston. Of the remaining orthodox churches, only the Cult of Poseidon still exists in the Maritime Kingdom of Revendreth; all others are considered hidden sects. What on earth has happened to this world?

You're particularly curious about the Church of the God of War. In the game, the Church of the God of War, which occupied the entire Kingdom of Sifarik, has completely vanished. It's nowhere to be found in the books. It's as if the powerful God of War in the game world has been wiped clean from the timeline.

[Even the Ascetic Church no longer exists, replaced by a very unfamiliar name: the Eternal Sect.]

"There's something wrong with this simulation..."

Seeing this, Zhou Ning frowned slightly. After only a few minutes of simulation, his divinity had dropped by 30%. Considering that he was at the same level as before, this consumption was terrifying.

"Also, the Sun Goddess of the simulated world has become the only Supreme Being. The source of the creation of the Time Island is self-evident; it must be the Sun Goddess."

"What does this mean? Could it be that in the past timeline, the Sun Goddess killed the Creator God and fulfilled his long-cherished wish?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Ning's heart skipped a beat. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

"Assuming the worst-case scenario, the Sun Goddess brought the Earth Goddess, who possessed the power of time, back to the First Age and successfully changed history."

"The God of War and the Goddess of Earth disappeared, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom became the new main deity at the very beginning of the game. If I remember correctly, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom only appeared very late, and only in the background of the game. What happened before that?"

"Could it be that the Sun Goddess and the Guarani have joined forces?"

Just thinking of this possibility made Zhou Ning's hair stand on end and he felt horrified.

With all kinds of questions in mind, he remained alert and continued to observe the simulation.

When you looked up from the mountain of books in the library, you sensed a shimmering aura of something high and mighty, rapidly fading away. Just then, a god was watching you.

[It seems hostile... You gaze deeply into the sky. Your feeling cannot be wrong. Even though you are a god, gods still exist in this world.]

[There is a difference between the real world and the game world. Reality is far more dangerous than games.]

Where did the God of War and the Earth Goddess go? Why is the Sun Goddess so much more powerful than in the game?

Regarding these anomalies, you asked a history professor at the University of Wake Forest, and the answer you received was that there has never been a God of War in history. Even if there is one, it is an evil deity hidden from the church's faith. This is truly bizarre.

[This is the first mystery you've encountered since coming to this world. I hope it won't take too long to unravel.]

September 2nd - September 8th, 1450. Completing the quest to rescue Alan West rewards you with some experience and money. The experience is of little use to you. Your current level is a question mark, and the experience required to level up is astronomical. The same seems to be true for money; you have no interest in it at all.

During this time, you discovered more anomalies in this world. This world has a large number of hidden sects. The Curse Cult, which orchestrated the previous sacrifice and once dominated the game, is just a smaller force among them.

[According to your memory, you also traveled to the underground of Darkland. In your sparse memories, there should be an ancient god there named Nyastra. His power is not very strong, but he will be used by the Cursed God Cult and the royal family in the future to create a horrific disaster.]

But strangely, when you arrived underground at Darkland, the ancient god had already vanished. Could this be another butterfly effect from your time travel?

During this time, you also did some research on the time travel simulator. You started from the first world and reviewed each one, gaining a general understanding of your past experiences. You also learned about some powerful templates.

[Then, you fell silent as you stared at the templates in the time travel simulator that often cost millions of time travel coins.]

This map, called War of Faith, only costs 6000 Crossing Coins. But of the three templates displayed, the first one, which appears to be the Creator God of Light, costs 425 million. You only have 17 now, and you're shocked. Damn, you're still broke. (You've achieved: A Tragedy of Mediocreness)

[As for the second template, which looks like the Moral God, it's even more expensive, a staggering 825 million. Too mediocre. When you see the third template, you're instantly speechless: the Creator God! And it's free!]

[The name is powerful, the power is even more powerful, what else do you need a bicycle for? ]

Without hesitation, you locked onto the God of Creation, Zhou Ning, and entered the simulation. Whether it was an illusion or not, you felt a connection to a powerful being.

Almost immediately, you felt yourself sinking into a dream. In the dream, you saw a giant in a white robe walking towards you along a golden path. With him was you, wearing a dark red coat, sitting on Nyastra's shoulders. The Creator God seemed to have suffered some kind of contamination, his thoughts somewhat confused. Another you spoke in a deep voice:

He's very eloquent, and despite the complexity of the situation, you can easily understand what he means. This world is an isolated island in time. Within this island, the Sun Goddess and the Goddess of Life traveled back in time and caused the fall of the Creator God on a certain timeline.

This is why the Sun Goddess of this world is so powerful. And because the Creator God holds such great power over the timeline, time is a cycle. When this Sun Goddess returns from the isolated time island to the normal timeline, it could cause the entire primary timeline to collapse, plunging the present, past, and future into a fog. This could also cause immeasurable damage to both the 'self' and the 'other self' that has traveled to this world.

Therefore, the Creator God wants to ally with you and him to fight against the Sun Goddess.

What you need to do now is to perfect your authority over time and destiny as quickly as possible, while avoiding the current time point as much as possible. You have already successfully surpassed the old Sun Goddess. At this point in time on this timeline, you and the Sun Goddess are not yet the alliance you will be in the future. If you pose a threat to her, she will kill you without hesitation.

[As for how to avoid the Sun Goddess, it is to hide in history until you are promoted to the Old One.]

[For mortals, history is updated every day, but it never changes; but for those who control the power of time, history is fluid, like a little girl who can be dressed up at any time.]

My dad has been in the hospital for the past few days and just had surgery today. He's fine, just has a slight fever. I have to take care of him these days, and my health hasn't fully recovered yet, so I can only update as I like.

I'm also planning to develop three plot lines simultaneously: the Simulation, the Sun Goddess, and the God of War, until they converge to trigger the final battle. This was originally a scene I'd planned for the beginning of the book, but I was a bit overwhelmed and out of shape, so I didn't quite capture the feeling I was aiming for. It's a shame, but I'll have to come back and revise it once I'm better.
