Chapter 99 Your Friend, the Prophet, is Offline

Chapter 99 Your Friend, the Prophet, is Offline (Part 2)

Tianya City, built atop a high mountain, is surrounded by clouds and mist, and looks like a fairyland from afar.

According to local legend, the prophet was born on the summit, accompanied by numerous auspicious omens, which imbued the place with a mystical aura.

Therefore, when he founded the Extraordinary Council, he chose this place as his headquarters and personally built Tianya City, turning it into the center of the world.

Due to the influence of feng shui, children born in Tianya City are at least B-level talents, A-level talents are everywhere, and S-level talents are not uncommon...

Even the air here can prolong life, and the spring water can cure all diseases...

"That's an exaggeration," Old Jiang complained. "This place is similar to places like Dragon Palace City and Rotten Axe Mountain where time distortion occurs. The power of time is relatively abundant, which can reduce the consumption of time observation."

"That's why the prophet built the Temple of Time here."

"You believe the rumor that being born here grants you advanced talents?"

Jiang He couldn't help but say, "But I've heard that the weakest residents of Tianya City are at least C-level superhumans..."

"That's true."

Old Jiang couldn't help but laugh: "Tianya City is at an altitude of 7,300 meters, with thin air, extremely low temperatures, and difficult transportation."

"Furthermore, this is the headquarters of the Extraordinary Council. How could an ordinary person possibly live here?"

"……really."

At this time, it was not yet dark in Tianya City, and the sunset could still be seen.

Jiang He, through Lao Jiang's perspective, saw the afterglow of the setting sun spilling over the city, reflecting a layer of white snow, and fell silent.

No wonder some people say that even the air in Tianya City is incredibly precious.

Things that are too rare are bound to be precious.

However, this has little impact on those with extraordinary abilities.

Especially S-class superhumans, whose physical strength has reached an unbelievable level. Not to mention high mountains and cloud peaks, they can freely enter and exit even outer space filled with cosmic radiation.

It is said that the S-rank "Ice Queen" of the council occasionally puts everything aside and goes to the moon for a vacation to relax...

Closer to home.

At this moment, Jiang He was observing the city through Lao Jiang.

Just like in the pictures online, this place is like a dream city. There are no skyscrapers, only a continuous cluster of marble buildings with rooftops covered in snow, which makes the atmosphere extremely solemn.

At one end of the complex, at the highest point in the entire city, stands a magnificent Gothic palace.

Old Jiang landed in front of the hall, looked up at the tightly closed door, and instead of pushing it open, he used the properties of a heroic spirit to pass through and walk inside.

What came into view was not a solemn church.

Instead, the walls were covered with bookshelves that filled almost the entire space, leaving only narrow aisles.

This is a scene that does not exist on the internet and cannot be seen by outsiders.

Jiang He was surprised to see that every shelf was piled high with books of all sizes: "Old Jiang, what are these books...?"

"The Book of Prophecy".

Old Jiang said, "An S-level prophet can use 'books' as a medium to shape the future into a physical form, thereby creating a special 'prophecy book'."

"Through prophetic books, the cost of foresight can be greatly reduced."

"Furthermore, combined with the Prophet's talent [True Knowledge of All Things]..."

Does each book on the bookshelf represent a "prophecy of the future"?
At this time, the number of books that appeared in the Temple of Time was more than a million.
How many times did the prophet actually predict the future?!
Jiang He was deeply shocked.

Old Jiang remained calm as he walked through the narrow aisle to the depths of the bookshelves.

Behind the bookshelf, scattered on the ground, sat a figure in a white robe.

There was no face beneath the hood, only endless stars. He held a book and a pen, constantly writing and drawing.

This is a prophet.

Jiang He has seen it in many places, including books and mobile phones.

It is said that he peered into time, was cursed by time, and lost his original appearance.

No one knows what he really looks like.

At this moment, Old Jiang frowned slightly when he saw the illogical, distorted lines on the book in the prophet's hand.

Just as I was about to get closer to take a look, a voice suddenly rang out behind me.

"You're 'White'?"

Old Jiang turned around.

A blond man stood next to the bookshelf.

He was dressed in a gold and white bodysuit, with a snow-white cloak draped over his shoulders and his hands behind his back.

Jiang He recognized his identity—

One of the thirteen members of the council, an S-rank [Immortal Body]!
Old Jiang is still invisible, but he saw through the hero's invisibility and even recognized Old Jiang's identity!
He said, "I don't know why you're looking for the prophet... but I can tell you, he's gone mad."

"Huh??" Jiang He was shocked.

Old Jiang was equally surprised.

He glanced at the prophet, then deactivated his invisibility, revealing himself, and asked, "What do you mean by 'mad'?"

"Four days ago, a premonition of the end times appeared. We sought out the prophet to inquire about the situation, only to find him in this state," said the Undying Body. "He has lost his self-awareness and only knows how to scribble randomly with a book..."

"We tried various methods, but we couldn't bring him back to consciousness."

"We suspect that, without our knowledge, he had already clashed with the [Destroyer]... and was utterly defeated."

"You must be a gifted Word Spirit user."

"Since you've seen all this, you can try to see if you can wake him up again."

Did the prophet lose to the destroyer of the world?
How come the destroyer of the world doesn't know about this?

Jiang He had a toothache.

No wonder the parliament reacted so quickly to the doomsday declaration, entering a state of war preparedness in less than a day and even making various plans and preparations...

It turns out that in their eyes, the destroyer of the world exists not only in premonitions and in the mouths of demons in the abyss...

He is a real person and has solved the most difficult prophet!
Old Jiang also looked surprised.

He turned his head again, stared intently at the prophet, and then shook his head: "Forget it, if even you can't do it, I certainly can't either."

The immortal body remained calm and said nothing more.

Clearly, he didn't believe that Jiang Zemin could awaken the prophet; he was just saying it casually.

After saying that, Lao Jiang walked straight outside.

As he walked, he said, "I came to see the prophet about the strange beasts... In that case, I'll head back now. Farewell."

"Don't tell anyone about what happened here," said the Undying Body.

"must!"

As he spoke, Old Jiang left the Temple of Time and disappeared into the horizon.

After he disappeared.

The immortal body stood still, motionless for a long time.

Actually, he initially wanted to eliminate "Bai" directly.

If the prophet's changes were to be leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable... Even without the Destroyer's intervention, the existing order would likely collapse rapidly, and civilization would face its end.

However, before he could take action, he discovered...

"White" is merely a spirit, not the physical body.

There's no point in dealing with him; it would only alert him.

Therefore, an immortal body can allow the other party to leave.

"White... Word of Power..."

The immortal being came to the prophet's side, raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, letting out a soft sigh.

When will you wake up?

"teacher."

……

On the other hand, after leaving Tianya City, Lao Jiang was immediately recalled to Zhongzhou City via the Heroic Spirit Recall.

Jiang He deactivated his five senses sharing, looked at Old Jiang in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Why did you come back in such a hurry? Didn't you observe the prophet's condition more thoroughly?"

"Of course we have to be anxious." Old Jiang rubbed his temples, seemingly in a bad mood. "The Destroyer has already dealt with the Prophet. If I, his underling, don't run away quickly, am I supposed to wait to be discovered?"

"...What does this have to do with me!" Jiang He's expression hardened: "The prophet went mad after the doomsday prophecy...it must be a coincidence, some kind of crisis, possibility, or something..."

"Otherwise, how could he be the only one with problems among so many S-class superhumans!"

Jiang said, "It's not because of the doomsday declaration."

Jiang He hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he added, "It's because of 'you'."

Jiang He: "..."

That's even more outrageous.

The Doomsday Proclamation is still an X-level skill, at least.

He was only an E-level superhuman last week, how could he possibly drive an S-level superhuman to madness?

Old Jiang sighed, sat down on the sofa, and said, "I've already seen it."

The prophet wasn't "mad," but rather "lost."

"Contact with time is a dangerous thing, like sailing a small boat in a rapid current, where you may encounter all sorts of situations such as capsizing, hitting a reef, or running aground."

"A mature prophet will proactively avoid these problems to ensure the accuracy of their predictions and their own safety..."

"Like a prophet, he is experienced and can easily deal with various situations when he foresees the future, just like an experienced captain who can sail a large ship on a river with almost no problems."

"but……"

He stumbled into the "ocean."

Jiang He's eyelids twitched slightly: "You mean..."

"Doomsday Declaration, although it is an X-level skill, the Prophet still has the ability to trace back to the source."

"He has found you and knows your identity."

"But you are too young."

"He was probably confused about how you obtained this power, and glanced at you with a hint of confusion."

Old Jiang's expression held a mixture of sympathy and helplessness.

"The Time Realm is too mysterious, so mysterious that it doesn't judge strength, only status."

"Just like when you first awakened, you were no different from an ordinary person, yet you could summon an X-level white crane... This means your talent level is incredibly high."

"Talent is the embodiment of your own abilities..."

"You are the 'anchor point,' the 'root.'"

"Therefore, in the eyes of the prophet."

"You are time itself, containing an endless future and endless possibilities."

"With just one glance, he was lost in the endless future."

"He's not crazy, he just can't wake up."

"..."

Jiang He understood.

In computer terminology...

He is now a large folder containing countless files, and the Prophet is the file extractor.

He tried to extract folder information, but the process stalled and the computer crashed...

Several days have passed, and his progress bar is estimated to be only 0.01% complete...

It could even be 0.00001%.

I have no idea when I'll be able to finish reading it.

Or rather.

How could an S-rank prophet possibly see through all of time?

"...He'll never wake up?" Jiang He had a toothache.

"Not necessarily," Old Jiang said. "Based on my observations, if he can wake up on his own, there's a high chance he'll break through to level X."

"If he can experience all of time and completely digest these things... he might become an existence beyond X-level."

"only……"

"By then, time itself will probably have come to an end."

Will one only become omniscient at the end of time?
The ultimate version of hindsight bias, right?
"Alright, let's get back to business."

Old Jiang clapped his hands, beaming, "Congratulations, Lord Destroyer! You have successfully defeated your first opponent, the first obstacle on your path to destruction—the S-rank [Prophet]!"

"Next, humanity will lose its eyesight and be unable to see the road ahead."

"You can easily defeat them one by one and complete your world-destroying plan!"

"...Don't joke around." Jiang He couldn't help but say, "We're talking serious stuff."

"I'm not kidding."

Old Jiang smiled helplessly and said, "For humans, a prophet is like a 'heavenly eye'."

"As long as he is there, he can act as a deterrent, extinguishing 99% of evil thoughts in their infancy."

"Just like the two known futures—"

"In the future timeline of the White Crane, the Wolf King blocked the prophet's prediction, which led to the chaos."

"In my future timeline, the ever-changing nature of the Ultra Beasts concealed their presence, allowing them to gradually grow stronger."

"The reason why this situation has occurred is..."

"It's because as long as the prophet can function properly, and he is willing to uphold peace and protect humanity..."

"Then he can nip most crises in the bud."

"In fact, he has saved the world many times without people knowing it."

indeed.

This is a world where everyone can awaken their extraordinary abilities, plus all sorts of other strange things like alien beasts and the abyss.

Large-scale crises are all too common.

Under these circumstances, the establishment of parliament ushered in thirty years of world peace...

No one knows how much effort the prophet put into it.

The countless books of prophecy in the Temple of Time may well be his many achievements.

"The crisis in the world didn't begin when I awakened..."

"In other words, chaos is the main theme of this world. Just like in the past few thousand years, countless extraordinary beings have fought and conquered. A single battle destroyed a city where hundreds of thousands of people lived and created the Lin Yuan Strait..."

"Historically, thirty years of peace established by parliament is extremely rare."

Jiang He suddenly realized.

No wonder Jiang Zemin trusted the prophet so much.

To him, the prophet was actually the previous "savior".

No wonder the Prophet was banned in both crisis lines.

If he doesn't log off, then the future will naturally be a peaceful one.

now……

The prophet has been banned again.

"This isn't my fault, is it?"

"According to you, even if I don't use any skills, as long as the prophet glances at me, I'm destined to be lost..."

Jiang He understood everything and said helplessly.

"Of course it's not your fault," Old Jiang said seriously. "I'm just reminding you that the Prophet has logged off."
