[If fate had decreed the destruction of the world, then being able to die by the hand of the main god one worshipped and believed in, how could that not also be a kind of piety? Even if the Omniscient True Knowledge of that time was no longer the Omniscient True Knowledge known to the people of the world…]

[After Omniscient True Knowledge fell into slumber once again, the Servant of Knowledge alone looked down upon the world from within the Temple of Knowledge, suppressing the remaining star gods and demon gods…]

[But to everyone’s shock, the Servant of Knowledge betrayed Omniscient True Knowledge!]

[At this point, the Saint Progenitor’s always gentle and calm gaze, that peaceful and gentle gaze which even the immense pain caused by the spread of Disorder sores across her spirit body could not shake, now revealed a hatred carved to the bone.]

[It usurped Omniscient True Knowledge’s authority!]

[This was originally an extremely dangerous act, because Disorder was contained within Omniscient True Knowledge’s authority.]

[But by usurping the authority, then using the devouring power of the Beast of Disordered Knowledge to return all the Disorder within it back to Omniscient True Knowledge, it could obtain completely pure authority without having to worry about being tainted by Disorder.]

[That was the Beast of Disordered Knowledge that Omniscient True Knowledge had left for it, a legacy that Omniscient True Knowledge had left behind to prevent it from being tainted by Disorder. Yet at this moment, it became the sharp weapon with which it usurped Omniscient True Knowledge’s authority.]

[The ancient dragons wanted to enter the Temple of Knowledge and question it, but it sealed the temple and refused audience to everyone.]

[The Pale Sage was the eldest and most rational existence among the ancient dragons. It speculated that perhaps the Servant of Knowledge’s conduct was not betrayal, but rather that before entering slumber, Omniscient True Knowledge had given the Servant of Knowledge a secret mission that they knew nothing about.]

[That speculation made the hearts of the ancient dragons feel somewhat better.]

[But the Servant of Knowledge’s subsequent actions completely overturned that speculation.]

[It actually colluded with the Abyss and the radiant stars, attempting to resurrect the two evil gods.]

[Omniscient True Knowledge had already fallen into eternal slumber. If those two gods were successfully resurrected, then no one would be able to stop the Abyss and the radiant stars from ruling the entire world…]

[The truth absolutely was not that Omniscient True Knowledge had entrusted a mission to the Servant of Knowledge. Rather, the Servant of Knowledge wanted to take the pure authority and defect to the enemy, becoming a new triune main god!]

[The ancient dragons, already reduced to the demigod realm, were powerless to stop the Servant of Knowledge, and as time passed, Disorder began to spread…]

[Even though most of their power had already been sealed, the ancient dragons still could not escape Disorder’s erosion. The Dark Hermit was the first ancient dragon to be eroded…]

[The Golden Lawgiver knew his time was running out, and with even the Servant of Knowledge having already turned toward the Abyss and the radiant stars, he simply became a shameless Oathbreaker as well.]

[The remaining ancient dragons did not waver in their convictions, nor did they forget the mission Omniscient True Knowledge had once bestowed…]

[They did everything possible to delay Disorder’s erosion, solely to wait for the person in the prophecy to appear…]

[At this point, large patches of sores had already appeared across the face and body of the Saint Progenitor. Ignoring the intense agony filling her soul, she fixed her eyes directly on yours…]

[True God’s Envoy, the only hope and answer analyzed by Omniscient True Knowledge does not lie in this world…]

[It is you, who came to this world!]

Lin Xun was stunned.

Did the only hope and answer the Saint Progenitor spoke of refer to the weak him, or to the peculiar existence known as an Apostle?

The two seemed the same, but in truth their meanings were completely different.

[The spirit body of the Saint Progenitor moved away from the bed and walked deeper into the cave, approaching the Emerald Saint Progenitor, which had already mutated into an enormous mountain of flesh…]

[The enormous mountain of flesh seemed to sense someone approaching. It stopped devouring blood, and the many split mouths across its body opened, revealing sharp fangs.]

[The Saint Progenitor stepped forward and gently stroked the flesh mountain’s body, her expression complicated as she said, Old friend, do not be nervous. Our mission will soon be complete, and this endless torment is also about to reach its end…] 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

[Perhaps because of the dense aura of life around the Saint Progenitor’s spirit body, or perhaps because the Emerald Saint Progenitor understood her words, the taut body that had been baring its fangs actually relaxed.]

[At that very moment, the Saint Progenitor suddenly thrust a hand forward. Flesh and blood splattered, and her entire arm plunged into the mountain of flesh!]

[Relax, relax, it will be over very soon…]

[As she softly comforted it, the Saint Progenitor reached inside and searched around…]

[…]

[When she pulled out her entire arm, her bloody palm was already clutching two spherical objects.]

[She opened her palm and, with the utmost solemnity, handed the pair of eyeballs covered in blood in her hand to you…]

[You have obtained Unknown Creature’s Eyeball x2 (item)!]

[The Saint Progenitor said to you, Envoy, you have already obtained the inheritance power of the Dark Hermit and the Golden Lawgiver, and the inheritance power of the remaining ancient dragons has all been sealed within these eyeballs, hidden inside the Emerald Saint Progenitor’s body.]

[It is precisely because of the Emerald Saint Progenitor’s concealment that they were able to preserve the inheritance power until now under the torment of day and night torture.]

[Although fusing the six inheritance powers cannot directly break through the ancient dragon seal, it can still pry open a small part of the seal and grant unimaginably powerful strength…]

[At this point, the mission they have waited countless years to fulfill has finally been completed as well…]

[Rotten sores had already spread across the Saint Progenitor’s body. A sense of liberation appeared in her gaze as she softly said, It is time to abandon Eternity and welcome the end of everything…]

[As she spoke, countless tiny emerald points of light spilled from her fingertips. The specks drifted onto the three ancient dragon progenitors. They did not struggle or resist in any way. Their grotesque bodies dissipated and evaporated together with the light, vanishing silently into annihilation…]

[She looked toward the Lawgiver Progenitor, still trapped within the Knowledge Barrier, and let out a faint sigh. Emerald points of light drifted out and enveloped her entire body…]

[The Lawgiver Progenitor, which had already degenerated into a Disorder monster, suddenly let out a mad roar and struggled desperately, yet it still could only vanish together with the dissipating points of light, annihilated from existence.]

[At this moment, the Saint Progenitor’s spirit body gradually became hazy and blurred. From bottom to top, her body slowly shattered and collapsed, turning into countless tiny green lights…]

[She murmured, Farewell, True God’s Envoy…]

[My only regret is that I will not live to see the beautiful future in which the Envoy awakens the true Lord and lets the world persist…]

[As those words fell, her spirit body and decayed fleshly body both dissipated, annihilated in an instant.]

[For a time, only you and Grand Scholar Rona remained in the cave. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream, yet the two eyeballs left in your hand reminded you that the six ancient dragons had now all fallen.]

[Unknown Creature’s Eyeball x2 (item): Eyeball tissue taken from some kind of creature. It looks completely ordinary, without anything unusual. Perhaps this is merely a pair of ordinary creature eyeballs, or perhaps some powerful existence has concealed what is special about them.]

Lin Xun felt a flood of mixed emotions in his heart.

Some people, in order to cling to life, would not hesitate to sell their faith, conscience, loyalty, dignity, and all other precious things that distinguished them from beasts.

Yet some people could, for the sake of their faith and the mission they carried, endure the pain and torment of countless years, only setting down their burden at the moment the mission was complete and seeking the long-awaited liberation they had yearned for.
