Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

This is Zhou Ning's new way of making a wish, which is to focus the desire for good luck only on the next thing, so that the power consumed by making a wish will be relatively small.

As his wish settled, Zhou Ning felt as if all his spiritual energy had been drained away. In that instant, the power of wishing unleashed its full might, signifying his wish had been fulfilled. Judging by his own exhaustion, this wish revision should be quite significant, and he wouldn't be disappointed.

At this time, although Zhou Ning felt that his body was hollowed out, he still took this opportunity to lift a corner of the Advent Card.

What made Zhou Ning's heart beat faster was that he saw a ray of unusual light from the gap in this corner. A burst of colorful light so strong that it was impossible to look directly at it shone through the back of the card and shot up into the sky.

This... could it be?

Zhou Ning suddenly flipped the card open, and sure enough, what appeared in front of him was a colorful dynamic advent card with an embossed card surface, but the color was slightly lighter than before.

But the person above seems a little familiar?

It was me wearing a black crown and a black dragon robe. It seemed like many years had passed and my age was completely invisible.

In the card, he is standing on a floating fortress made of gold, looking down at the earth with an indifferent expression. Behind him are many disobedient gods who bow down to him. They are wearing awkward Chinese armor, like heavenly soldiers and generals.

The title of this card is: Zhou Ning, Lord of Xian Qin.

Zhou Ning: ...

Isn’t this the First Emperor Zhou Ning who traveled to the world of God Slayer?

At this moment, he was not sure whether his luck was good or bad. This was too illogical. The First Emperor actually grew into a seven-color template and could be on par with the Emperor Huangtian?

How many battles had he fought? He must have traveled to countless worlds after the God Slayer World to reach this level of growth.

I can only say that this is a kind of bond. The mediocre template that I have thought about countless times, the First Emperor, is still helping me in his own way after he has transcended it.

As described, this advent card only lasts for 30 seconds. In Zhou Ning's impression, the Lord of Xian Qin should be considered a technological giant. This is a collision between two different systems.

I just wonder if this seemingly mediocre Lord of Xian Qin can help me gain victory when facing the Goddess of Life within these 30 seconds?

Zhou Ning carefully hid the card. After receiving the reward, the next task was refreshed:

[A-level serial main quest: Shadow of Death has been updated.]

[Note: The large number of missing people in Dockland has caught your attention. This incident seems to be related to an old friend of yours and involves a huge conspiracy. Try to find the truth of this matter. It may not be as simple as most people think.]

[Current Mission Objective 1: Speak with Stuart Crow, Patriarch of the Ascetic Church, and facilitate their cooperation with the Church of the God of War.]

[Current Mission Objective 2: Search the entire Levia Street and try to find the secrets hidden within.]

[Current mission reward: 2150 million experience points, random reward*2.]

Zhou Ning's eyes flickered as he realized this was truly the beginning of the main storyline. Perhaps due to his immense legendary status and the protagonist's aura, his every move now affected the entire supernatural world and the plot's development. It was no longer him searching for quests; the quests were following him.

"It's just that although the War God Church and I have a good relationship, will they really give me the face to interfere in the affairs of the other side? I'm not Shanks."

Zhou Ning muttered a few words, feeling somewhat helpless.

Then again, the two churches seemed to have reached a cooperation in their past lives, but that was against the Elemental Goddess. As it stands now, he believes there's still a chance for cooperation, as their respective parishes and demands don't conflict. And aren't the two leaders still in a relationship?

Zhou Ning shook his head. It was pointless to think about it now. He should wait until Stuart Crow contacted him.

……

St. Raymond's Cathedral.

A massive map, a transcendental artifact, hovered in the center of the room. It displayed a dotted display of churches of the Church of the Goddess of Life, marked in red. There were 127 of them in Dockland, second only to the Ascetic Church's 319. In several cities south of the Kingdom of Bryston, throughout Southwest County, and in the Kingdom of Luins to the east, their numbers even surpassed the Ascetic Church. Furthermore, due to recent miracles, their spread was accelerating, while the number of adherents in the Ascetic Church had decreased.

During the day today, after Cumberland publicly immolated himself, friction began between the two sides. To the west of Darkland, a conflict broke out between the two sides' extraordinary teams, the Sunwatchers and the Song of Thorns, and there were also many fights between their believers.

Cumberland himself is actually not important. What is important has always been the "fallen righteous god" mentioned by Wayne Stewell and the angel king who sneaked into Darkland.

He had previously suspected that the fallen righteous god might be the goddess of life, but he had never been able to confirm it. If these two things were linked to Cumberland's self-immolation, things would become extremely complicated.

Stuart Crowe had a sinister premonition that the Third Religious War might be just one oracle, or one fuse away, from starting.

The disappearances in Docklands pale in comparison.

Stuart Crow stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the huge map with his eyes flickering.

During the last religious war, the Church of Poseidon became a third-rate church in the Kingdom of Bryston, lost almost all of its parishes in the Kingdom of Bryston, and the temple was moved to the Sea Kingdom of Revendreth; the Church of Alchemy and Craftsmen was reduced from an orthodox church to a secret sect, and has never recovered since then.

Stuart Crowe did not want to talk about the specific process and reasons, but this was the cruelty of religious wars, which were always accompanied by politics.

Now, the Third Religious War may be approaching. The losing side may also lose all the parishes in the Kingdom of Bryston and leave Dockland in disgrace.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as Stuart Crow was lost in thought, someone knocked on the door. After a brief investigation, Stuart Crow found out that it was a middle-level day watchman named Polly.

Stuart waved his staff, and the map in the air disappeared instantly. He said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Polly had just rushed in and said, panting:

"Head Patriarch, I have two messages from Wayne Stewell, but let's start from the beginning."

Stuart Crowe did not stop the other party. As a pastor, he was not lacking in patience.

I have to say that Polly's speech was very organized. He recounted everything that happened to him last night in detail, including the carriage accident; the "God of War", "God of the Sea" and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" that appeared in the dream, the two dream cycles, what Wayne Stewell did between the two dream cycles, and Ian's true identity, etc.

Although the previous content was bizarre, Stuart Crow was knowledgeable and remained calm. When he heard that Ian was Cumberland, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked:

"you sure?"

Polly shook his head seriously and said:

"I'm not sure. I didn't participate in the killing of Cumberland. I was waiting inside the Starry Sky Church. His Majesty Wayne asked me to tell you that it was the god Ian believed in who resurrected him. Darklan's recent disappearance is likely related to the Church of the Goddess of Life. Other partners include the Life Alchemy Society, the Darklan Royal Family, the Craftsmen and Alchemists Association, and the Retreat. He will tell you the details in person."

"I understand, thank you for the information. I will let Qian West reward you." Stuart Crow listened quietly and nodded approvingly.

After seeing Polly off, Stuart Crow breathed a sigh of relief, waved his staff, and was about to hold a ceremony to try to communicate with the goddess when there was another knock on the door. This time it was Sherlock Moriarty, captain of the first squad of the Sun Watchers, current deacon of the Sun Watchers, and also regarded as the next leader of the Sun Watchers.

After coming in, Sherlock said with a heavy expression:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Chien has disappeared and appears to be at his home in Levitra Street."

"What?" Stuart Crow's expression suddenly became serious.
