Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 108 Chapter 107: Keeper of Secrets
Boom!

The world suddenly began to shake, and a burst of colorful light and shadow appeared in the sky, making it impossible to distinguish between an illusion and reality.

As the sky gradually collapsed, a magnificent tower broke through the world barrier and came rushing in.

It landed right in front of Wang Ji.

The moment the tower fell, the sea, which had begun to churn because of the world's tremors, immediately calmed down, and the earth stopped shaking.

Click, click...

Sometimes the sound of the hands turning can be heard.

At the top of the tower, the hands of a large clock ticked steadily and smoothly.

It was as if only this one sound remained in the entire world.

Wang Ji shifted his gaze from the clock, looked around, and discovered that the ocean and land had not stopped churning and shaking, but rather seemed to have been paused, completely still.

crunch.

The tower doors opened, and a voice came from within:
"Welcome, creator god from the vacuum zone of the apocalypse."

"Please come in."

The scale of the event was quite grand.

Wang Ji calmed himself down and walked forward naturally.

According to Number Nine, the one who came to receive him was a creation-level being.

A mature, creation-level…

With these thoughts in mind, Wang Ji continued walking.

Soon, they passed through the tower's gate and entered the interior.

pat.

The footsteps were very clear and carried far in an instant.

The tower has a large interior space, at least larger than it appears from the outside.

Wang Ji looked up and saw a long, seemingly endless staircase and countless antique wooden bookshelves, each crammed full of various books.

A quick glance revealed that none of the texts were comprehensible; they were all in unfamiliar languages.

Now I'm illiterate.

What about people?

Just as Wang Ji was searching for the source of the previous sound, an arrow appeared in front of him, pointing upwards.

Is it on top?

Wang Ji flapped his wings and rose continuously following the arrow's direction. After flying for a while, the space suddenly changed, and a small study appeared before him.

Sitting in the chair in the center of the study was a young man with dark circles under his eyes, staring blankly at Wang Ji who was flying up.

She looked extremely tired, as if she was about to fall asleep at any moment.

"So weak."

He scrutinized Wang Ji for a few moments and couldn't help but say, "Among the creation-level beings I've ever seen, you're one of the weakest...

Wang Ji frowned: "What, you have a problem with that?"

"If you're here specifically to mock me, then you don't need to meet me at all."

"Based on my personal principles, I am willing to have friendly conversations with anyone, but that does not mean I am afraid of anyone."

Despite saying that, Wang Ji was still somewhat unsure.

Realistically speaking, let alone facing a Genesis-level being whose trump cards are unknown, he might not even be able to defeat the previous Number Nine.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to let him do whatever he wanted in the main world, grabbing people and coming and going as he pleased, while we could only watch helplessly.

"I'm just stating the facts."

In the study, the young man said calmly, "But to be able to escape from the vacuum of the apocalypse, you must have some trump card of yours."

"After all, that is an absolute forbidden zone for all living beings."

As he spoke, a chair materialized.

"Please take a seat."

Wang Ji glanced at the chair, then at the young man, and finally went into the study and sat down.

Seeing Wang Ji sit down, the young man said, "I formally greet you. You can call me the Guardian of Secrets."

"I don't have any titles, just call me 'Wang Ji,' that's my name."

"Okay, Wang Ji."

The Keeper of Secrets raised his hand, conjuring a table between the two. He then took out a pitch-black scroll, spread it on the scroll, pointed to a small, bright dot on it, and said, "This is your world." "Before we talk about anything else, I hope you can disable access to your world and hide it."

"If this continues, all the scavengers in the nearby world will die out. They are still somewhat useful for now."

"I don't know how," Wang Ji replied frankly.

This isn't just idle talk; there really isn't an option to 'disable joining worlds' in the permission settings.

They can only adjust internal rules; they really won't care about external matters.

The keeper paused, glanced at Wang Ji, his eyelids drooping, seemingly somewhat tired.

He waved his hand, and a book flew over from the bookshelf next to him.

"Consider this compensation for my 'insulting' remarks earlier, and it can also be considered a small gift from me."

"This copy of 'The Book of the World' is for you."

"It can give you better control over the world—in your own way."

Wang Ji looked at the book and raised an eyebrow slightly.

A notification pops up.

[A plugin that can be loaded has been detected]

When the prompt appears.

Suddenly, Wang Ji found the keeper of secrets in front of him more agreeable.

Those huge dark circles under his eyes and half-dead eyes seemed to be symbols of wisdom, making him stand out from the crowd and marking him as a strong person.

"Then I'll accept it."

Wang Ji took the book and selected "Load".

[Plugin added: "World Management"]

Swah——

Once the plugin is loaded, a series of instructions are displayed, along with helpful descriptions of their functions.

Wang Ji immediately opened the command bar and performed a series of operations, disabling the world joining permission and then enabling the 'cannot be searched' option to block the world signal.

As the operation proceeded, the light representing the main world in the scroll on the table dimmed and disappeared into the darkness.

It no longer shines.

The scavengers who didn't have time to visit could no longer search for this world, or they simply teleported there.

They were thus spared their lives.

After completing these tasks, Wang Ji focused his attention on the world management plugin itself.

It contains something like a configuration file, which allows users to edit functions to a certain extent or grant management permissions to others.

It can be said to be very convenient.

"This book is more valuable than the entire world we live in."

The keeper's voice came through, asking, "Are you satisfied?"

Wang Ji nodded and said, "I'm very satisfied. It really helped me a lot."

"That's good."

The keeper put away the scroll on the table and said, "Now we should get down to business."

"You should have noticed as well that this world is isolated from all other worlds, and there are no other living beings besides you and me."

“Investigator Number Nine, who just greeted you, was not a real life. Once his mission to welcome you was complete, I let him self-destruct.”

"Hmm." Wang Ji nodded slightly, appearing very calm.

Did I notice?
Hmm... let's just say we've discovered it.

Discovering something from the keeper of the secret is still a discovery.

"Personally, I admire the people who were able to bring things out of the vacuum of time, and I'm also surprised that there are still living beings there."

"However, for safety reasons, I must make sure you haven't brought the potential dangers of the doomsday vacuum zone with you."

"If you can create a new world there, you must have fought against that thing and know a way to get rid of it."

Wang Ji had a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"

The guardian, his eyes lifeless, stared intently at Wang Ji, and slowly spoke:

"Cognitive apocalypse".
