#408 - Chapter 407: The Standpoint of the False Gods
"Version update patch?"
At this moment, it wasn't just the ordinary players who were dumbfounded.
Even Jiang Han, the instigator, himself was a little unclear about what was happening.
"Is this game-ification a bit too outrageous?"
Jiang Han tried his best to calm down, but he was still full of doubts.
Having come into contact with too much hidden information, he knew very well that both the Lost Continent and the Apocalypse Continent were real planes of existence.
Those NPCs and monsters were not just cold data, but vibrant lives.
But now, this game data-ification is becoming more and more absurd.
A real world actually has operations like kicking people offline for version patching.
What is the secret behind this?
Could there be a behind-the-scenes mastermind like a GM hidden behind the entire game?
"It's getting weirder and weirder."
Jiang Han sighed softly.
"Do you find it strange?"
At this moment, Lucifer's voice sounded again.
Jiang Han looked up and saw that the huge figure in front of him had long disappeared, replaced by Lucifer in the guise of a handsome young master.
"It is strange."
Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "How did you make the Apocalypse Continent reappear, and even appear in the Lost Continent?"
"This kind of power is a bit too unconventional."
"Of course it's unconventional, because this is not my power at all."
Lucifer explained with a smile, "I just borrowed some rules, in other words, what I did was just going with the flow."
"So, the Apocalypse Continent was supposed to appear here anyway? You just sped up the process a bit?" Jiang Han asked.
"Yes."
Lucifer nodded, "Haven't you ever wondered why there are so many worlds mixed together in this City of Sin?"
"Of course I have, but I don't have an answer," Jiang Han said.
"Because of a collision."
Lucifer said, "An unparalleled collision."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Han asked curiously.
"Simply put, it's a war between countless planes, and a war with the abyss," Lucifer replied calmly.
"The abyss?" Jiang Han frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Are you talking about the Anomalies?"
"That's just what you call them," Lucifer nodded, and then explained, "However, a long, long time ago, we all called them abyssal creatures."
"Why call them that?" Jiang Han pressed.
"Because these terrifying beings crawled out of an endless abyss," Lucifer's expression suddenly became much more serious, as if he had remembered something terrifying.
"In the Apocalypse Continent?"
"No... not the Apocalypse Continent, but in the depths of the starry sky."
Lucifer said in a deep voice, "It's hard to imagine, right? There's actually an abyss in a void."
"It does sound strange."
Jiang Han thought for a moment, "This kind of abyss shouldn't be an abyss in the general sense."
"Accurately speaking, it's another kind of substance," Lucifer sighed, "It doesn't seem to belong to this world."
"Then, a war broke out."
"A war between you and the Anomalies... abyssal creatures?" Jiang Han said.
"No, not with them."
Unexpectedly, Lucifer shook his head and denied, "It was a free-for-all between the various planes."
Saying that, he chuckled, "As for the reason, it's laughable."
"At the time, including me, the rulers of the various worlds actually believed that this new substance would bring blessings and be an opportunity for us to break through our shackles."
"That war was to fight for the ownership of the abyss."
"As a result, no one benefited, but suffered heavy losses."
"Then what about the False Gods?" Jiang Han asked with some doubt, "Didn't you say that the destruction of the Apocalypse Continent was related to the False Gods?"
"That's what I'm going to say."
Lucifer's eyes flashed with deep disgust and contempt, "Those disgusting guys betrayed everyone and took advantage of the situation when we were fighting against the abyssal creatures."
"The direct cause of the Apocalypse Continent's destruction was this group of ticks."
"I'm sure the Apocalypse Continent isn't the only plane that has suffered."
"I see."
Jiang Han was thoughtful, "So, they might be related to the abyssal creatures?"
"No, absolutely not."
Lucifer shook his head, "I'm sure of that, they don't have the qualifications yet."
"Then what are they trying to do?"
Jiang Han became more and more puzzled, "Survival? But the abyssal creatures seem to follow certain rules and don't have their own subjective judgments."
"Even if the False Gods participate in the destruction of various planes, the abyssal creatures won't let them go, right?"
"I don't know about that."
Lucifer sighed softly, "However, they are indeed getting stronger day by day, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen so easily."
"Perhaps the destruction of each plane is also beneficial to them."
"If that's the case, it seems to make sense."
Jiang Han felt that he had vaguely grasped something key, but it wasn't real.
He thought that in his previous life, the False Gods had absorbed all the creatures on Blue Star and then sacrificed them.
Does this mean that the sacrificed creatures have become nourishment?
If that's the case, then the Lost Continent must be their next target.
"The answer behind this needs to be explored by yourself."
Lucifer said, "But before that, you must have enough strength. You are still too weak now."
"So... first go and find what I left in the Apocalypse Continent."
"Only after you get those things will you be qualified to open up other continents and explore more mysteries."
He handed a scepter to Jiang Han, "This scepter will lead you to the inheritance. It is the key and also proof of identity."
"Understood."
Jiang Han nodded, put away the scepter, and then asked, "Then what about the Brutal Fang?"
"Collecting the blood will unlock its seal?"
"Yes."
Lucifer said, "This is already the last link in the mission, but this is still not the complete Brutal Fang."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Han frowned, "Didn't you say it was the final mission?"
"There is still one part missing."
Lucifer explained, "I said, this weapon was separated. The real complete body, in addition to the Brutal Chapter in your hand, also has the most core Brutal Eye."
"And you can't control that thing yet."
"Go to the Apocalypse Continent first. After you get my inheritance, you will understand everything."
"Of course, you can also use the Brutal Fang as a good weapon, but that would be too unambitious."
