Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 75: Doomsday Elements

[Apocalyptic elements input, progress: 100%]

[Cognitive Points +1]

Wang Ji was startled: "What did you do?"

"Ok?"

Osvid looked slightly puzzled.

"what happened?"

Wang Ji was somewhat bewildered and unsure how to explain, so he could only vaguely say, "I sensed the end of the world, but I don't know what happened."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Before this, Wang Ji still harbored a slight skepticism about Oswald's words, since he had neither seen it with his own eyes nor experienced it firsthand.

Everything is just the high priest's side of the story; it cannot be disproven or verified.

However, when the number of cognitive points actually changed, everything became clear.

There really is such a thing as the end of the world.

It really came, but we can't see it or touch it.

Wang Ji couldn't understand it.

What is certain now is that things have changed.

All disputes are no longer important.

“I understand how you feel. When I first realized this, I was also incredibly shocked and didn’t want to believe it.”

Oswald sighed and said:
"Over the years, I've tried many methods to stop the spread of the apocalypse, including erasing memories, changing bodies, and even altering brain cognition..."

"Actually, I don't even know if my current memories are complete."

"But it's all useless. It doesn't depend on my memories or my physical body. As long as I'm alive and conscious, it will definitely... no, not necessarily. I'm afraid even death won't help. Even if my corpse returns, this cannot be avoided. Even if it doesn't return..."

Oswald shook his head.

"Now that I think about it, even if I had never left this world, even if I hadn't explored the outside world, the end of the world and disaster would have come sooner or later."

"Many worlds are destroyed suddenly."

"It might not have been so fast originally; the penetration of knowledge still needs time."

"After realizing this, I decided not to come back until I found a solution."

“I have been wandering in the spirit world for several decades. This period of time may not be long, but it cannot be said to be short either.”

"But I can't find anything, I have nothing."

Wang Ji temporarily suppressed his racing thoughts and asked, "Then why did you suddenly come back?"

Oswald said with a complicated expression, "I feel my body being attacked, and there is a kind of coercive law different from this world acting on it."

“I thought some kind of apocalypse had come, and there was no point in continuing to wander in the spirit world.”

"did not expect…"

He glanced at the emperor's corpse, his gaze like that of an erupting volcano.

"I have never hated a stupid person so much."

"Now we have to prepare in advance to fight against those things that will destroy the world."

"The past is no longer important."

Osvid stood up and waved.

The ground vibrated slightly.

The matrix in the center of the four towers of wonders suddenly began to glow.

Something has changed.

Wang Ji glanced at the spell page and found that all spells had been restored to a usable state.

The restrictions on the capital city have been lifted, and the highest level of magic that can be used is no longer limited to level six.

The five high-ranking figures above the tower were the first to notice this.

Just as they were about to approach the Four Towers of Miracles to explore them, they were suddenly slapped down by a large hand and pinned to the ground, unable to move.

The shield shattered, and spells could no longer be cast. Their locations were marked within the magic network with the note: "Harmless."

Soldiers quickly arrived and tied up the five men.

The five high-ranking officers had never been so bewildered in their lives.

One second he was a world-class combatant, a high-ranking sorcerer who ruled the capital, and the mastermind behind the current situation.

The next second, they were all knocked down, their power suppressed, and they became ordinary people.

Wang Ji saw all of this, but he neither stopped it nor expressed any opinion.

Oswald said, "Although two of them are former apprentices of mine, I will not show them any favoritism or protection as a sign of my sincerity. Their fate will be decided by the ideal community."

"The empire can be officially declared gone; now is the era of an ideal community."

May this world be prosperous and unified.

In response to Oswald's actions, Wang Ji nodded slightly in approval and asked, "So, are we... allies now?"

"ally?"

Oswald repeated the word, saying, "That's a term used between two powers. Are you trying to shut me out of civilization?"

"Ok."

Wang Ji stood up and said, "Then, welcome."

"I'm glad I don't have to be your enemy."

Osvid gave a friendly smile, seemingly expressing his approval of the statement.

However, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This person cannot be analyzed.

"correct."

He suddenly brought it up: "Do you remember my suggestion before? Let's be honest with each other about our talents."

"What do you mean? Are you intentionally giving me a hint?"

"You don't have to tell me, I won't force you."

“It’s not that I don’t want to say,” Wang Ji said, somewhat embarrassed. “There’s really nothing to say. After all, you’ve seen it, right? I don’t know how to describe or explain it. It covers too many things to summarize in a single word or sentence.”

"That's true."

Osvid also noticed this.

"but…"

He murmured to himself, and as he pondered, he added, "It possesses its own set of laws, with a priority higher than the world it inhabits. What it creates endures, and can infinitely generate and expand..."

"It's practically like a creator god."

Oswald was startled.

Right, all right.

His innate talent allowed him to gradually perceive the origins of the world, but he could not understand the boy in front of him in the slightest.

It's strange; no one can resist this feeling.

But what if?

If the object of perception is not a product of the world, but rather the existence that produces the world…

That seems reasonable.

"I can analyze the root of the world, but I cannot understand anything deeper than the root."

What could be deeper than the root cause?

Oswald could hardly imagine that this was beyond his comprehension, a dark side of cognition, just as a two-dimensional person cannot imagine a three-dimensional scenario.

Creator God?
Wang Ji found Oswald's words quite interesting.

Don't say it, don't say it.

If we have to call him a creator god, then that actually fits quite well; he could be.

Thinking to himself, Wang Ji said, "Call me whatever you want. I don't have much to explain. You've seen everything about me. I don't have any summary of my abilities; I've just been using them, that's all."
