Chapter 566: Chapter 392 Deep Exploration and the End of the Campaign_3 Chapter 566: Chapter 392 Deep Exploration and the End of the Campaign_3 ‘Perhaps… when Philip was exploring the Dream Realm, he only reached this point. Those voids and high walls beyond were areas he never ventured into… As a result, the replicated Immortal Realm lacks this region, just like the unmodeled and unmapped voids in a game.’
Although he was curious about what lay ahead, he wouldn’t rashly attempt to find out.
For his Spiritual Intuition told him that it could lead to terrifying and unknown consequences.
‘Let’s stop here… Apart from the Abyss beneath the Crystal Mountain Range, I’ve essentially been to every other explorable area in the Immortal Realm.’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
‘Perhaps the Abyss leads to the next region, which is the Dark World where Philip met his end at the Immortal Realm’s edge… Yet, the mythological knowledge of Destiny Sequence Four is still nowhere to be seen.’
Half a month went by.
Finally, there was good news from the incarnation of Deception.
All nine remaining battle zones of Gem State and Rock State were declared conquered!
At the same time, the Faceless Attendant brought the latest intel.
Under the influence of Chen Lun’s prophetic advantage and crucial official intelligence, besides the two State Cities overseen by the Generous Council, the Shelter, Sun Church, and Moon Church also achieved remarkable results in their conquests of the other four State Cities.
All three foundational fortresses, plus seventeen node fortresses, were completely destroyed!
The five remaining node fortresses, while spared due to various accidents, lost their functionality… Thus, the Red Apple Church’s secretly arranged high-caliber ritual, the “Scarlet Ceremony,” was left in tatters.
They might still be puzzled, wondering whether a traitor had emerged within the Church, or if the Empire had used some hidden divination method to preempt their plans.
In any case, the Red Apple Church was decidedly on the losing end this time.
Countless clergy perished, and even six of the ten core Archbishops of Blood Abbey fell, with the remaining four hiding away injured… As for the current Pope Louisa, She was besieged by two of the Empire’s Judgment Chiefs, the Pope of the Sun Church, Pope Difini, the Pope of the Moon Church, Viola, and the Speaker of the Generous Council, Azjiluo—a total of five Saints.
If it wasn’t for the powerful self-preservation abilities of the “Sequence Three – Fallen Duke,” Louisa would have likely fallen long ago… In the end, She barely escaped with Her life, severely wounded, by using the “S-class Mysterious Object – Rose Bible” to intimidate the five and manage Her escape.
The five besieging Saints were unwilling to be dragged down with Her, deeming even severe injury too great a price to pay… They knew all too well that if Louisa truly harbored a death wish, She might very well take one of them down with Her.
The battle raged fiercely, igniting storms and tumult from the shallows of the Spirit World to the second layer, and even into the Dark World…
But this major incident eventually concluded with the downfall of the Red Apple Church.
Countless clergy followed their high-ranking leaders and fled through the prearranged spiritual passages, bypassing the western Anlong United Kingdom and heading directly into the Beelzebub Kingdom of the Extreme West.
Chen Lun listened to the Faceless Attendant’s report in silence.
In the original timeline, the turmoil caused by the Red Apple Church persisted until the end of Solar Calendar year 4420… But now, it was only the beginning of February, and the unrest had been quelled.
His involvement had been significant: first, he propelled the Murder Club into the Righteous God Church’s ranks, adding a formidable force to the Blood Battle, and later disrupted the Red Apple Church’s “Scarlet Ceremony” ritual and minimized the effect of Abomination Fortress by revealing its secrets thanks to his prophetic intelligence.
Even the Guardian, one of the three most important base fortresses and the end-boss of version 1.0, Lafa, was lured out by his machinations and personally executed by Speaker Azjiluo, which influenced the overall situation and accelerated the Red Apple Church’s downfall.
Thus, the threads of destiny were disturbed and shifted by Chen Lun’s unconventional intervention, concluding the main storyline of this version nearly half a year in advance.
‘Next comes the settlement of the third phase of the Main Quest… and then the version will update, with all players going offline.’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
‘But before that, let’s harvest their wallets and Sanity a bit more, who knows how long a version update will take in this world… If it’s going to be a few years, I might have to live quite frugally.’
