Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

In the violent yet silent shaking, a large amount of dark green mist was rising from the illusory surface of the pierced rafter wood, and dots of spiritual light were filling it and repairing it.

"I'm finally going to face the Goddess of Life Spirit..." Gallup III looked around slowly and couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, everyone's heart was filled with tension and uneasiness. The intensity of this religious war had far exceeded their expectations, perhaps even more brutal than a true war between gods! No, what they were engaged in was a war between gods.

And now... they are about to step into the deepest realm of dreams, to challenge the Triune Goddess of Life—that cold and powerful deity. To attend that fateful feast, to face that decisive battle that will determine life and death!

Do you have faith? Perhaps most people do, but they are also prepared to die. When facing God, all life is fragile.

At this moment, Zhou Ning recalled the events that had occurred before. He remembered Gallup III in the first dream, the Pirate King Zhou Ning in the second dream, and the Turin couple who had died again in the third dream, Leandro's parents, the little girl Sylvia, John, and the millions of dream spirits who had been sacrificed. He remembered Sherlock and Chin West, who had been placed in the dream and ultimately died. He remembered the other Wayne Stewell.

He was silent for a few seconds and exhaled slowly and long.

He once heard this: Race does not represent glory. Yes, race does not represent glory. In the past two years, Zhou Ning has seen the noblest humans and the most despicable gods.

Even God must be held accountable and pay the price he deserves.

At the same time, prompts popped up on all players' panels:

[You have triggered the S-rank main quest: The End of the Dream.]

Mission Description: With the conclusion of the first four dreams, this adventure is drawing to a close. Next, enter the fifth dream and assist the protagonist, Wayne Stewell, in defeating the Elf Goddess, the mastermind behind this absurd dream.

[Quest progress: Enter the fifth level of dream (0/1), defeat the mastermind (0/1).]

This mission is a prize pool model, with a total mission amount of 8000 million experience points. Accepting the mission requires consuming some experience points, which will be distributed proportionally to the top players (or teams) in terms of contribution.

[Extra Reward: Ten free wishes in the wishing pool.]

[Mission Description: This mission only has one chance. Success or failure will determine the course of the game. The Elf Goddess is far more powerful than you can imagine. The survival of the Apocalypse World rests in the hands of everyone. Strive, Chosen One!]

After seeing this mission, players have been so excited by the unprecedented sense of participation and epicness that they have got goosebumps. This gaming experience, this massive amount of experience, the "Apocalypse" game is really fun!

This mission was, of course, also issued by Zhou Ning, and the current reward was nothing to him. The experience points were awarded in the form of a prize pool, with the bulk of the reward coming from the player's registration fee. The wool came from the sheep.

As for the wishing pool rewards, as I've said before, giving one ten-draw combo to each person is really just a drop in the bucket. The probability of getting something good is very low. If you don't win in one ten-draw combo, there's a high probability that you'll get a second, third, or even a third ten-draw combo, which will stimulate their spending. Only a very few can resist buying.

Moreover, every time a player gets something good, it is equivalent to fulfilling a wish, and the authority of the "power of wishing" will increase.

No matter what, you will never lose.

At this time, Dolent looked around, tilted his head and said:

"The Ascetic Church is ready and can set off at any time."

As He spoke, He took a few steps forward, opened His mouth, activated the Holy Word, and recited devoutly:

“God says: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”

This is a passage of holy words from the thirteenth chapter of the Holy Book of the Sun. As a strong ray of sunlight pierced through the sky and fell, Dolent extended his palms towards the trunk of the ash tree.

Then the hands of the Angel King were dyed green. With a sudden force, a door seemed to be slowly pushed open in the void, and then it opened inwards.

In front of a seemingly endless abyss, an imaginary double door stood in front of the wood.

The door is forty to fifty meters high and covered with dense green vines, like a huge portal leading to an unknown world.

Without needing to be reminded by others, all the extraordinary people present knew that this was the gate to the fifth level of dreams.

Gallup III nodded, looked up at Zhou Ning, and asked in a questioning tone:

"The Church of the God of War is also ready. Your Majesty, is there anything else that the Church of the Starry Sky needs to prepare?"

"No, the Starry Sky Church is ready too," Zhou Ning said, shaking his head slightly after issuing the quest. He noticed the players were already rushing through the double doors ahead, eagerly waiting for a final battle, more like a picnic.

"Having a group of chosen ones who can be resurrected infinitely is really crucial!"

Under the complicated gazes of the other two church members, Zhou Ning lowered his hat with his hand and followed behind the player, slowing his pace slightly.

After making sure there was no problem, he stepped into the door.

Suddenly, the scene before their eyes was filled with strange lights, and they couldn't even tell the direction. In front of them, they saw a spiral staircase winding downwards.

This staircase is bottomless, going deep into the deepest part of the subconscious mind which is obscure, dark and full of madness. Zhou Ning noticed that from time to time, all kinds of bizarre and illusory images would appear in the void, and strange symbols would flash in the air. These symbols together constructed the mystery of the power of dreams itself, and carried a strong divine aura.

Goodwin walked behind Zhou Ning and said calmly:

"This is the path to the deepest level of the Goddess' Dream. In other words, we are delving into the deepest part of a divine dream."

"Those below angelic status must avoid viewing anything nearby, including those more illusory images. These are materials from the goddess's dream realm. With the divine impact of a deity, they can become reality. Without the corresponding knowledge, even a glance at them could taint your mind."

At this time, some players had already dragged out a long tail sound, falling into the depths of the abyss. It lasted for more than a minute before the name turned black.

"This... sounds a bit scary!"

As an angel king who once believed in the Goddess of Life, Goodwin had a certain understanding of the power of dreams. After listening to him explain the things to pay attention to in dreams, Leandro nodded seriously, restraining his curiosity. He walked up the stairs and walked down step by step.

The stairs here reminded Zhou Ning of the world in the mirror. There seemed to be similar stairs leading to the Lost Elf Town.

There was silence all around, with only the sound of people's footsteps. At this moment, a roar in Giant language suddenly sounded from the right side of the crowd, attracting the attention of many people.

Dolent said hurriedly:

"Keep your head down and don't look to the right!"

Dolent used the magic of words in his speech, and most of the professionals listened to his words and lowered their heads silently. However, there was still a demigod from the Church of the God of War who did not have time to bow his head. His mind was instantly polluted and turned into a faceless giant with tentacles. He was then purified into ashes by everyone.

As the King of Angels, Zhou Ning wasn't in danger of being contaminated. He noticed that familiar scenes appeared on the illusory screens on both sides. There were scenes of the Elf Goddess battling the Giant King, and the Elf Goddess battling the Dragon Lord Ungrei. There were even scenes of him fighting his Odin-like self on Hood Island, piecing together a series of scenes like oil paintings.

Yes, it can only be described as "self-assembled", because these pictures are really extremely abstract. For example, in the previous picture, the body of the giant king Lindsay Horn is pieced together with the head of the dragon lord Angre. The giant body with a dragon head is staggering and wants to break away from the oil painting and materialize. It looks crazy, weird and absurd!

From these illusory images, arms that are even more illusory and more detached from reality appear to stretch out as entities, grabbing everything around them.
