Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

"Abbot City?!"

Zhou Ning was certainly familiar with the name. In the early simulation map of War of the Gods, Abbot City was the capital of the Kingdom of Falik, known as the Capital of All Capitals, the Land of the Gods' Favor, the City of Textiles, and the City of Diamonds.

It is also the headquarters of major orthodox churches such as the Church of the God of War, the Church of Asceticism, the Church of the God of Alchemy and Craftsmen, and the Church of the God of the Sea.

During his first failed time travel, Zhou Ning invented the steam engine, ushering in a technological revolution. In this city, he became a follower of Edgeworth, the god of alchemy and craftsmanship, and inherited the family motto that knowledge is power. At the time, Pope Solomon Goss of the Church of Alchemy and Craftsmanship, and his successor, Chris Pound, were his partners.

Later, Brock Bredenlaizer, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Falik and the ancestor of the Bredenlaizer family who had previously cast the curse, became his own butler.

In Zhou Ning's second successful journey, this route was the true historical trajectory. Pirate King Zhou Ning gradually established a firm foothold in the city, gradually gaining control of the military and political power of the Falik Kingdom. This time, he chose to cooperate with the Church of Poseidon.

Zhou Ning still remembered the journey through time. It all began with the Northern War. The war, which had lasted for over three years, had weakened the Falik Kingdom's economy, depleted its treasury, and intensified internal conflicts. Led by a hidden force, weapons were distributed, sparking an armed uprising.

The Pirate King Zhou Ning, who was leading his fleet to fight against the pirates in the north at that time, led his fleet back as a savior, entered Darkland, and suppressed the rebel army with a crushing momentum.

If Jasmine was right, this would be a bloody night. Nyastra, at its peak of bloodlust, would descend in blood and resentment.

Weapons were distributed, armed riots were created, a large number of people died, and Nyastra descended...

Come to think of it, it was truly a coincidence! The scene back then mirrored the scene during the Darkland catastrophe, as well as the current situation. It was as if a hand was manipulating everything.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ning couldn't help but frowned.

Furthermore, if this scene truly depicts the day that Pirate King Zhou Ning launched his coup, then the first thing to determine is what stage the coup has reached. The core of the dream could be Nyastra, the Augustine royal family, or even Zhou Ning himself. Considering the power of the dream, the worst-case scenario is that he is simultaneously besieged by the four heroes and Nyastra.

But on the other hand, we cannot rule out the possibility that this dream comes from the first failed time travel. Don't forget that the Goddess of Life Elf has the authority over dreams. To put it bluntly, that failed time travel was a detour in destiny.

Zhou Ning raised his eyes and glanced at the sky. In reality, it was still two o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun was already setting in the sky here, and the corona of sunlight would not last long.

It's now clear that Darkland is currently experiencing a state of dream upon dream. Judging by the situation in the TV series, there may be four overlapping dreams. After defeating Gallup III, the ominous feeling within him not only didn't dissipate, but instead became more pronounced. Perhaps this was due to his former abject apprehension of disaster. A quick victory was necessary.

……

Elsewhere, Stuart Crow's face was also filled with astonishment. Of all those present, the Ascetic Patriarch was the most anxious. Following Pope Dorent's unexpected death, another angel, Archbishop Victor Bennett, had already joined two other churches, leading the Sun Watchers, Stargazers, and Wings of Law, to various locations throughout the city to stop the use of alchemical bombs and other armed actions.

Stuart Crowe had also noticed that reality and dreams had now overlapped, forming a profoundly abstract fusion. Dreams and reality both fed back into and connected to each other. Simply put, what happened in dreams would be reflected in reality.

The more synchronized the results of the feedback to reality are, and if the same thing happens in reality and in dreams, it will be fed back to the dream in turn, making the dream more real.

From the constant explosions around the city and the flames all over the city, it can be seen that the situation on Victor Bennett's side is not going well, and the possibility that he has already died cannot be ruled out.

In this way, Wayne Stewell of the Starry Sky Church is the King of Angels in this team, and Meredith of the God of War Church is also the King of Angels. Among these church leaders, I, who have the lowest strength, have become the leader of the Ascetic Church.

This is a religious war!

Stuart Crow glanced at the burning buildings ahead, then looked up at Jasmine and said with a wry smile:

"I was born two hundred years after this, not in the same era as you. By then, this ancient history had already been lost to history. So, as one of the four heroes who played an important role in history, could you, Miss Kronin, tell us about the specifics of this dream?"

"If I remember correctly, this should be the future Darklan Fortress. During the Falik Kingdom era, this was the seat of the Falik Kingdom's House of Nobles." Jasmine whispered as her eyes swept over the burning brick and stone arches.

"I was still under 20 at the time and only retained some of my memories."

Jasmine paused, then continued, "The instigators of this rebellion were all low-class merchants and ordinary people. Incited by the Cursed Cult, they formed a rebel army and attacked the palace. Augustine IV fled in panic, but his queen and children were hanged in the square by the angry people and the rebels. Countless nobles and religious figures were sent to the guillotine, and many churches, such as the Ascetic Church and the Earth Goddess Church, were driven out of Abbot City."

"It was against this backdrop that this coup took place, launched by an old friend of mine, and lasted for a full 24 hours."

Meredith listened to Jasmine quietly, then asked:

"I know him. After all, in our time, everyone knows his name."

"What I also want to know is, how strong is this group of rebels? How did they defeat the regular army and so many extraordinary professionals?"

Jasmine smiled bitterly and said:

"The vast majority of the rebels were ordinary people, but many were bewitched by an unknown entity, losing their minds and becoming corrupted. Many also possessed sophisticated weapons and alchemical bombs, and a large number of confused soldiers joined their ranks. Their strength was not much inferior to the regular troops that remained in Abbot City at the time."

"But I later had a guess. This was before the First Religious War, when gods could still walk among the mortals. I suspect some gods were involved."

"I see." Meredith nodded, agreeing with Jasmine. Then, she said in a cold voice, "My suggestion is that your old friend is very likely the core of the dream. He is the one who is responsible for the massacre in the dream, even if it is targeting the rebels. We must find him immediately."
