Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 152, Section 151: Opening Passage
The world of administration.

The Keeper of the Secrets remained secluded in his endless library within his tower, sitting motionless on a simple wooden chair, as if stuck.

At this moment, facing the guardian of the secret, Wang Ji looked at him and also wanted to add a few words:
'Non-still image.'

However, the Keeper of the Secrets was not in a daze; clearly, he was simply preoccupied with something else.

Wang Ji was very familiar with this look. He was the same way when he was developing projects in the toolbox, his mind was highly focused, and he wouldn't pay attention to anything unless something unusual happened.

Wang Ji did not disturb the guardian of the secret, nor did he remain idle. Taking advantage of this free time, he browsed through the widely circulated new and old news in the various realms.

Besides a few well-known cross-industry media companies, there's also Dimension Media.

"The apocalypse continues to spread, the world is falling at an accelerated pace, and the number of fallen main worlds is constantly increasing."

"Number Five commands the destruction of the world, and the [loser] moves to a new location once again."

Looking at these messages, Wang Ji could already sense the situation in the Doomsday Zone.

"The situation is not optimistic."

The Loser, as one of the most widely known Genesis-level beings, has always been known for being on the front lines of the apocalypse.

The destruction of Command World was inevitable, after all, its creators were the losers.

However, losing is also a skill.

The loser happens to be the one who possesses this skill.

"Losers are the last line of defense, and also the last shield."

Just as Wang Ji was pondering the situation in the Doomsday Zone, the Keeper of the Secrets spoke up.

Perhaps having heard Wang Ji's words, the guardian of secrets returned to the present moment and said, "The term 'loser' represents the best possible outcome of an inevitable defeat."

"If we can win, we definitely won't need him."

Wang Ji nodded and said, "I understand."

Although life seems to have been peaceful for many years, that's just my personal feeling.

After all, his position was very delicate, located in the apocalyptic vacuum zone—it was called the vacuum zone because no world existed there; it was a true chaos.

It may seem a bit lonely, but it's relatively safe. As long as you don't do anything reckless, you're unlikely to get into any trouble here.

As for the apocalypse in the Doomsday Zone, let's not even talk about the fact that the Genesis-level forces, represented by the Losers, are currently holding it up. Even if the Losers can't hold it up, there's still the administrative world led by the Keepers of the Secrets.

The apocalypse must at least break through these two layers before it can threaten the apocalyptic vacuum zone in which one's own world is located.

What was once a forbidden place has now become a somewhat eerie safe haven because of the emergence of Wang Ji, an unconventional creator.

However, many people in this safe haven are unaware that behind the calm and peaceful daily life, the various realms are on the verge of extinction.

As the two were talking, a ripple appeared in the nearby void.

An old man appeared out of nowhere.

"Oswald".

Oswald nodded and picked a chair to sit down.

Upon seeing Oswald's arrival, Wang Ji asked, "How has your recent journey been?"

"I have seen many different landscapes."

Osvid gave a brief summary, then looked up, his eyes gleaming.

Wang Ji said, "It seems you've also gained a lot during this time."

After exchanging a few brief words, the two fell silent and turned to look at the keeper of the secret.

This meeting was initiated by the Keeper of Secrets, and now that everyone is here, it's time to get down to business. The Keeper of Secrets went straight to the point: "Let's talk about the integration of your world with the other worlds."

"As you all know about the situation in the doomsday vacuum zone, the dimensional acceleration channel was closed to that area out of necessity."

"The specific reasons and risks don't need much explanation. We all know what existed there, and you should also know that it has never disappeared."

The one the keeper kept talking about, but never mentioned in detail, was the apocalypse of cognition.

If we're talking about who knows this thing best, Wang Ji and Oswald, as people who experienced it firsthand, would naturally be at the top of the list.

As for the keeper of the secret, he is very mysterious. He seems to know a lot, but he rarely speaks and never mentions the past.

All his secrets and past were kept tightly guarded; he himself wouldn't reveal them, so no one could pry them open at all.

However, judging from his attitude and handling methods, he must have gone through something.

"I know this very well, without you having to tell me."

Oswald said, "Long ago, it came because I sensed it."

"The reason I can sense it is because even though it destroyed many worlds, it did not completely disappear; it merely hid its existence."

"Its last recovery was mainly my fault, because I recognized it."

"But I can say with certainty that below the Genesis level, no one could have discovered it like I have."

Oswald spoke in a very flat tone, as if he were describing a common phenomenon that he took for granted.

And he certainly seemed to have the confidence to say those words.

The keeper of the secret asked, "Is this a result verified by your 'perception'?"

He looked at Osvid, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if it were just a casual, ordinary question.

Many years had passed since Osvid became a Genesis-level being, but his characteristics and abilities remained a mystery.

In all realms, topics about creation-level events are always popular and sought after by many.

As the second Creation-level being to appear in the world after Wang Ji, Oswald naturally received special attention from many people.

However, this kind of attention doesn't necessarily have much effect.

Unlike Wang Ji, who freely displayed his abilities, Oswald had never shown any unique abilities over the years, and all the methods he used were ordinary abilities that had already been recorded.

Since Oswald embarked on his journey through the worlds, he has never displayed a decisive power at the level of a fundamental characteristic. He seems to be just an ordinary 'archmage' who has a good understanding of the magic system.

At most, his power level is relatively high; he is a powerful creator-level magician who surpasses world-class levels.

Because of this performance, many people have come to recognize his creation-level title of 'Archmage', which has become Oswald's unique symbol.

He was known as the most ordinary of the creator-level beings, the "Grand Master" of all realms.

However, the keeper of the secrets in front of them did not seem to think so.

He is particularly sensitive to 'secrets'.

Osvid did not deny the Keeper's claim about 'perception', only saying, "My perception is indeed slightly stronger than others."

Seeing that he had said so, Wang Ji also testified from the side: "It can indeed be believed."

Seeing these two creation-level beings emerge from the same world, the Keeper of the Secrets said nothing more.

"Then let's proceed with the initial opening."

"Special access is available to your world, which is in the vacuum zone of the apocalypse."
