From the end of the world

Chapter 142: Apostle of the Void Realm 2
The Divine Seal is a divine tool that can fulfill any wish, so I don’t particularly doubt whether the owner of the Divine Seal can fulfill the wishes of others as long as he holds the complete Divine Seal.

The question is whether he can restore the broken divine seal to its original state.

Although it is hard to understand what the current state of the Divine Seal is, which is both intact and fragmented, but assuming that the Divine Seal in this strange state cannot function normally, then the Divine Seal Master's top priority is probably to collect the fragments of the Divine Seal to enable it to function normally. And this may be the reason why he went to so much trouble to gather all of us.

No. 4 Xuanming said that the Divine Seal was an unknown creation that could not be repaired by human power. Regardless of whether the owner of the Divine Seal was human or not, since he claimed to be the owner of the Divine Seal and might even have a complete Divine Seal, he might have his own way.

The task he proposed didn't seem to be bad for us. We didn't have a way to repair the divine seal, so we just needed to collect the fragments to get a chance to fulfill our wish. We didn't even need to collect all the fragments by ourselves, we just needed to be the one who collected the most fragments.

From another perspective, he also proposed a competition - in this fragment competition, only one person can realize his wish.

And the premise of all this is that his words can be trusted.

"Can any wish come true?"

The person who asked this question was neither me nor No. 4 Xuanming, but No. 1.

He had previously been observing the Lord of the Divine Seal in silence and vigilance, but after hearing that the other party could fulfill wishes, he could not wait to speak.

Maybe he has a wish that he really wants to realize.

But the Lord of the Divine Seal gave a negative answer.

"Of course not every wish will do," he said. "For example, if you ask me to create a rock that I can't lift and lift it, I certainly can't do it. Also, I won't accept wishes like 'turn one wish into ten'."

"I'm certainly not asking nonsense!" Number One seemed a little excited. "I'm asking you...if I ask you to resurrect the dead, can you do it?"

His question made me look sideways. You know, Ying Lingyun's wish is nothing more than to revive the dead demon Yin Yue. I just ruled out the suspicion that he was Ying Lingyun, and he immediately showed enough suspicion to make me doubt whether he was Ying Lingyun again.

It's just that the resurrection of the dead is a very normal wish. There are definitely many people who have experienced the tragedy of the death of an important person and hope that the important person can be resurrected. I decided to believe the polygraph judgment of No. 2 Xiaowan that No. 1 is not Ying Lingyun.

The Lord of the Divine Seal replied to No. 1 casually: "It's easy."

"Any dead person will do?" Number One pressed.

"Even if you want me to resurrect all the dead people in human history, I can do that, and specific people are not a problem." The Lord of the Divine Seal said such a ridiculous statement, and then he looked at Number One. "Or do you want to resurrect someone other than a human?
“No, the one you want to resurrect is a human… I see, she died to save you, but you think you’re the one who should die, so you’re looking for ways to revive the dead, or even to change the past.

"——It's just 'changing the past'. I can accept requests of this level."

Seeing the Lord of the Divine Seal's expression as if he knew everything, Number One was shocked: "You——"

"There is no need to be surprised. I have said that I know most of the things that happen in this world." said the Lord of the Divine Seal.

And I immediately noticed the inconsistency.

"Since you want to collect the fragments of the divine seal and you have such great powers, why don't you collect them yourself?" I asked.

"Because I cannot leave this virtual world right now, I cannot affect the world you live in." The Lord of the Divine Seal said calmly, "I am currently in a state that can be described as either dead or asleep. All I can do right now is to pull you, the chosen ones who are bound to the fragments of the Divine Seal, into the virtual world."

He called the foggy dreamland "virtual world", and he didn't know whether it was a concept different from "dream", or another name for the concept of dream, or whether it specifically referred to this foggy dreamland.

"If we don't collect the fragments of the Divine Seal for you, you won't be able to revive, or wake up, right?" Number Four's question was not without malice. "Without the fragments of the Divine Seal, my awakening process will be greatly slowed down, and it will take at least ten years." The Lord of the Divine Seal said.

Ten years? This number caught my attention. Is it a coincidence? In Luo Shan's doomsday prophecy, our world will enter the doomsday era within ten years.

However, this decade should be linked to the frequent occurrence of strange events as a sign of the end of the world, which is more like a natural process. However, the resurrection process of the Lord of the Seal of God seems to have a large degree of room for human intervention.

Having said that, I can't just regard it as a coincidence. Is there any correlation between the resurrection process of the Lord of the Seal of God and the process of the end of the world?
No. 4 Xuanming also noticed this problem. His tone became dangerous: "You said before that any wish can be fulfilled. If I become the final winner and wish for the destruction of the world, will you destroy the world?"

"As long as that is the wish made by the winner." said the Lord of the Divine Seal.

"Since the conditions for becoming the winner are closely related to the number of God Seal fragments we obtain, isn't that encouraging us to fight each other?" No. 5 hesitated for a moment and said, "A strong man like Xuan Ming can easily become the winner by finding us in the real world and taking away the God Seal fragments we collected. Even if our God Seal fragments are bound to him, he only needs to kill us.

"He can even go even further. He can just kill us all, leaving only himself. Then, wouldn't he be the winner without any effort?"

He seemed to have temporarily accepted the competition rules given by the Lord of the Divine Seal, or perhaps the situation was stronger than him and he had to accept it.

"If the number of chosen ones in the virtual world is too small, I will summon new chosen ones from the real world." The Lord of the Divine Seal said, "In addition, the condition for becoming a winner is not the number of Divine Seal fragments obtained, but the contribution made in collecting Divine Seal fragments. Of course, the more Divine Seal fragments you obtain, the greater your contribution, which is also the most efficient way to make a contribution.

"But if you kill other chosen ones in order to get more fragments of the Divine Seal, that goes against the meaning of the word 'contribution'. Suppose a chosen one who has collected two fragments of the Divine Seal is killed by his own people, the latter will have to collect four more fragments of the Divine Seal to offset it."

"Among us, there are doomsday survivors like No. 2, and No. 2 is the fragment of the God's Seal found in the doomsday era. Can I understand that after the God's Seal was broken, its fragments were not only scattered to different places, but also to different eras?" No. 1 showed a more devoted attitude towards this fragment competition than others. "You can't expect a powerless girl like No. 2 to help you collect the fragments of the God's Seal in the land of doomsday, right? Or do you have a way to send us to the doomsday era?"

“Before she wakes up, I can’t provide you with any substantial help in this regard. You have to figure out how to get to the end of the world where she is.” The Lord of the Divine Seal said, “Of course, you can also hand over the Divine Seal fragment to me in exchange for the corresponding answer, but that cannot be the Divine Seal fragment that is now bound to you.”

Number Six asked coldly, "Is this what you said before? If you want to get answers, you must follow the rules?"

"That's right. I know most things in this world, and I also know the answers that you have been seeking for. If any of you think that you cannot get the opportunity to realize your wish, you can at least exchange the knowledge of realizing your wish with me." said the Lord of the Divine Seal.

Hearing this, even No. 6 seemed to be moved, and No. 1 and No. 5 also revealed strange emotions.

I specifically observed No. 7's reaction, and she was indeed indifferent. Whether it was the fragment competition proposed by the Lord of the Divine Seal, or the knowledge that even if she could not become the winner of the competition, she could still exchange for the knowledge of realizing her wish, she was very indifferent to it. It was as if she knew all this from the beginning. Or maybe it was because she was strong without desire, and the content of the Lord of the Divine Seal could not move her heart without desire.

"I will grant you the ability to sense the fragments of the Divine Seal. When you approach other fragments of the Divine Seal, the fragment bound to you will vibrate slightly, and this vibration phenomenon will not occur between the fragments of the Divine Seal held by you who are chosen." The Lord of the Divine Seal said, "In addition, this virtual realm can also be used as a place for you to exchange information with each other. In the virtual realm, you cannot attack each other. Even if you force an attack, it will only become like how No. 6 attacked me just now."

He also continued to use the numerical numbers to refer to us.

Number One suddenly asked, "So, what if it is an existence outside of the virtual world?"

"There are only you and me here. Apart from you, there will be no other existence." said the Lord of the Divine Seal.

"Isn't that right? Before No. 3 and No. 4 arrived, there was clearly an invasion here - a ghost of unknown origin invaded your so-called virtual world." No. 1 said.

I immediately had a bad feeling, and the Lord of the Divine Seal answered directly: "That ghost is number three."

Number One was shocked and turned to look at me. Others also looked at me with different emotions, even Number Seven, who was always unmoved, looked over.

The Lord of the Divine Seal continued, "Unlike all of you, No. 3 was not the chosen one who came here at my invitation. He forcibly invaded this virtual world through some method."
