Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 153, Section 152: Countless Possibilities

"That's best."

As Wang Ji spoke, he was also surprised that the keeper of the secret would agree so readily.

Putting yourself in their shoes, if you were in the position of the Keeper of Secrets, as the head of an 'administrative world' that governs countless world layers, integrates numerous apocalyptic information, and has been fighting against them for countless years, you would most likely be unable to accept personnel exchanges with high-risk worlds in the apocalyptic vacuum zone in the short term.

If something goes wrong, it won't just endanger the world in the apocalyptic vacuum zone; it will also affect the other 80 million main worlds.

Thinking it over, Wang Ji simply asked, "The potential risks are huge. Aren't you afraid something unexpected might happen?"

If we keep the world locked down and develop in isolation, the chances of accidents will be much smaller. Even if something unexpected happens, we will have previous experience and won't be completely helpless.

In reality, Wang Ji still harbored a slight desire to try.

This moment, that moment.

If the end of the world comes again, this time it certainly won't be as disastrous as before.

But this is just a hypothetical scenario; if it actually happened, Wang Ji knew he would absolutely not be happy about it.

"Hidden dangers, unexpected events?"

Faced with Wang Ji's question, the Keeper of the Secret shook his head and said, "If you are talking about 'hidden dangers,' then I dare say that in all the realms, there is no greater hidden danger than myself."

"I have witnessed the destruction of everything, the demise of trillions of worlds, and the formation of the doomsday vacuum."

"If we stop moving forward just because we're worried about the 'accidents' you mentioned, then even the current 80 million main worlds might not be left."

Trillions of Main Worlds…

Wang Ji was shocked.

Wang Ji had seen this claim a long time ago when he was reviewing materials, but due to the current situation, the mainstream opinion is that it is just an unverifiable rumor.

Hearing this from the person who kept the secret confirms that it was not a rumor, but a fact.

After all, those who keep secrets are the people who respect knowledge the most.

Wang Ji glanced at Oswald, who gave him a look that expressed his approval.

He told the Keeper of the Secrets, “In my memory, I do indeed sense many remnants of the main world.”

"Those main worlds did not choose self-destruction."

"From today's perspective, they still 'exist,' but... it's not much different from not existing."

Osvid shook his head, his expression filled with regret.

Wang Ji said, "Perhaps one day these worlds can be revived."

"The probability is not high."

Oswald wasn't optimistic, but after glancing at Wang Ji, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.

Let’s leave this topic aside for now.

The Keeper of the Secrets continued to discuss his world with Wang Ji.

"Countless worlds today have emerged from such hidden dangers."

"If we stopped moving forward because of fear of accidents or the end of the world, then the world would not have been able to develop to its current prosperous state."

Yes, prosperity.

"The apocalypse brought destruction."

As the keeper spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and constructed a model.

It was a line, a straight line that kept moving forward.

He showed the line and said, "This is our life as it was originally. It's nothing unexpected; it just keeps moving forward and progressing."

After saying that, the keeper of the secret constructed another line.

"This is the end of the world."

The line representing the end of the world intertwined with the line representing the normal state of all realms, thus creating a branch.

New possibilities have emerged.

With a whoosh, the lines gradually multiply, weaving together new possibilities and new paths.

It transformed from a flat, lifeless straight line into a complex network of countless possible lines.

And the convergence point of these countless lines is our current life.

It embodies destruction, rebirth, decay, vitality, stability, and turmoil—it encompasses all things.

"If it were possible, I would naturally hope that these absurd doomsday disasters would disappear."

The keeper of the secret said, "But since it has appeared as a real phenomenon, since it exists, then we must face it, study it, and then fight against it."

"Progress through the struggle against destruction."

"To me, the end of the world is both a disaster and an opportunity."

“If you keep blocking it endlessly just because you’re afraid of it, or to use the words you’re used to in your culture—'covering up the lid,' then you’re just blocking your own way.”

After the keeper of the secrets finished explaining his insights, Wang Ji finally understood why he was not afraid of the potential hidden dangers within his world.

Or perhaps it's not that they're not afraid, but rather that their thinking differs from Wang Ji's. Compared to absolute and unchanging stability, the Keeper of Secrets might value possibility more.

This aligns with him.

Wang Ji couldn't help but nod in approval.

"There is no time left to make any more conservative decisions."

The Keeper of the Secret then said to Wang Ji, "You and Oswald, your power should not be sealed in a destructive vacuum."

“Especially you, your world has great potential, King.”

As for Osvid... the Keeper of the Secrets cannot comment. His abilities do not seem to be widespread—this is just speculation, since no one knows what Osvid's characteristics are at the moment.

The keeper of the secret did not ask any questions, showing full respect for Oswald's own choices and actions.

"I understand."

Having said that, Wang Ji didn't ask any more questions.

The timing is also perfect, with many outstanding individuals emerging from the community recently, making them ideal candidates to be among the first to venture out into the world.

This will be very beneficial to the future development of our world.

For example, one's own name.

Recently, with the development of his hometown and the world of dragon bones, as well as the demonstration of his abilities, some new titles have begun to circulate.

As for his official title of Creation-level, Wang Ji also had some ideas and was just waiting for the right time to change it.

Thus, the 'transformation of all realms' becomes an indispensable part.

Wang Jike still remembered what the Keeper of the Secrets had said: once the official title of the Creation-level was determined, there would be many benefits. The first would be the ability, which would reportedly receive some additional bonuses.

It's mysterious, and it's also very exciting.

In the Great Archives, with Wang Ji nodding, the matter was considered concluded.

Once the matter was settled, the keeper of the secrets fell silent and continued with his own affairs.

There was no intention to urge or send the guests away.

"Anything else?"

It was Wang Ji who asked the question. He looked at Osvid and clearly did not think that Osvid was just there to join in the fun.

After all, he had long ago handed over all authority and affairs of the community to Wang Jiguan. If today was just about discussing this matter, there would be no need for him to come in person.

Osvid said, "I'm waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for someone called 'The Collector'. He contacted me not long ago."

"I happened to want to come back and visit, so I arranged to meet him here."
