Lin Xun knew that he could not just sit and wait for death. He had to do sothing.
He tried to control his shell, only to find that the shell was still in free fall and could not fly under its own power, and could only keep plumting…
[You want to get away from the Gloomy Abyss, but you discover that you are unable to do anything and can only draw ever closer to that boundless darkness…]
[In the end, you are devoured by the darkness of the Abyss…]
[…]
Lin Xun could only watch everything unfold, just as if he were watching a cutscene. He could not control his shell at all.
It was only when facing a main god with his own power alone that he could truly feel how weak he really was.
“Why did the Servant not correct earlier? Could it be that all of this is still under the Servant’s control…”
“No, there is another possibility.”
“And that is that the Abyss is about to revive, and Its power and Authority far outstrip the Servant’s, so that even if the Servant wanted to correct , it would not be able to.”
“After all, the Servant can only manipulate a small portion of the Authority that Omniscient True Knowledge left behind…”
“If that is the situation I am facing right now, then what am I supposed to do?”
Lin Xun felt like a woman cooperating with the Servant to set up a honey trap. The Abyss was the mark who had walked into the trap, and he, the bait, had arrived at the hotel as promised to carry out the first step of the honey trap.
Originally, once he finished showering and had his clothes half off, the Servant should have co riding to the rescue, kicked open the door, and told the Abyss that It had fallen into a trap and had better hand over the money.
But for so unknown reason, the Servant was late, leaving only him, the bait, to face the hungry gaze of the Abyss alone.
“Servant, if you do not save now, I am done for.”
The Servant seed unable to hear his cries for help and did not show up at all.
With the Servant late and the Abyss striking like thunder, the honey trap ultimately failed to spring…
[…]
[You are swallowed by the endless darkness and fused into the Gloomy Abyss…]
[Just when you think you are about to be dood for all eternity, a vast will is born within the boundless murky darkness, transmitting a primordial wave of intent toward you…]
[…]
[Outsider, when you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss is also gazing into you.]
[Rember, this is where the greatest Authority of the Abyss lies.]
[All shall submit beneath the Abyss. You are no exception.]
[Go now. Look at the divine stele again. You shall witness the birth of the Abyss Child…]
[After this vast will transmits its intent, it once again falls silent, returning to chaos.]
[As for you, a pure black light of teleportation envelops your entire body…]
[Teleporting…]
[…]
[…]
[Teleportation successful.]
[You open your eyes and discover that you are back at the cliff from which you jumped earlier. The many demon lords have not yet left. They have been here all along, waiting for the Abyss Child to return.]
[Seeing you return from the bottom of the Abyss so quickly, becoming the fourth demon to pass the Gazing Ritual after the three demon gods, they shout in excitent and roar loudly…]
[As expected of the universally acknowledged Abyss Child. Only you could complete the Gazing Ritual so quickly…]
[The demon shaman beside you can hardly contain its excitent. It then asks you…]
[Great Abyss Child, have you already carried out the new prophecy inscribed upon the divine stele, communicated with the demon gods, and obtained their support?]
[If all has gone smoothly, then the demon race becoming the masters of the world once more will no longer be just a beautiful dream…]
Right now Lin Xun was still in a state of utter confusion.
“What is going on?”
The Abyss had not killed him. It had rely transmitted a strand of intent into his mind.
The aning that the Abyss conveyed was sowhat indistinct. Perhaps because It was still in a chaotic state, Its expression was not particularly clear.
Lin Xun carefully reviewed that ssage of intent and pondered its aning over and over until he seed to extract so hints from it.
The last two lines were easier to understand.
‘All shall submit beneath the Abyss. You are no exception.’ sounded like It was saying that he would ultimately join the abyssal faction and beco one of the Abyss’s own.
And ‘Go now. Look at the divine stele again. You shall witness the birth of the Abyss Child…’ was even more obvious in its aning.
“Does that an what is recorded on the divine stele is a legacy from the Abyss?”
“As long as I can interpret the new prophecy on the stele, I will beco the true Abyss Child and gain unimaginable power?”
Lin Xun felt that this was very likely the case.
He was able to reach this conclusion thanks to the first two lines.
Compared to the latter lines, the aning of the first two was more obscure. What did it an for ‘when you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss is also gazing into you’ to be the greatest Authority of the Abyss?
“What kind of Authority is that?”
Lin Xun bore the Flesh Authority and understood it fairly well. As for the Omniscient Authority of Omniscient True Knowledge, he also had so knowledge of it thanks to the Servant’s explanations. The Omniscient Authority could see through or analyze everything.
Yet the Authority ntioned in that ssage… he might as well call it Abyss Authority for now. What exactly was its power?
Why did the Abyss want to tell him what this Authority could do?
“There is only one reasonable explanation for now. The Abyss wants to inherit Its Supre Authority, beco the true Abyss Child, and help It kill Omniscient True Knowledge…”
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
Although he had not obtained the demon gods’ hidden coordinates this ti, he seed to have gained sothing even more remarkable.
“Abyss Authority… gaze…”
[…]
[The demon shaman asks you several questions in a row. Seeing you frowning in contemplation and staring blankly into space, it falls silent, afraid of disturbing your thoughts.]
[It even instructs the demon lords to stay quiet as well so as not to disturb the great plan you are truly brewing.]
[You co back to your senses and realize that whatever the Abyss’s intentions may be, you must go to the divine stele and interpret that blurred passage of text in order to obtain the answers you seek.]
[You tell the demon shaman that you need to go alone to the sacrificial plaza to quietly think about how you should strive for the great revival of the demon race.]
[The demon shaman imdiately straightens and grows solemn. It orders the demon lords to disperse, then takes out a small horn and hands it to you, saying that it will no longer disturb your revival plan. When you wish to find it, all you have to do is use this horn to summon it… and it will certainly co at your call.]
[The demon lords and the demon shaman take your revival plan extrely seriously. None of them dares to disturb your thoughts, and they soon scatter until the place is completely empty.]
[You have obtained Demon Shaman’s Summoning Horn (item).]
[Seeing that no one is around, you imdiately hurry toward the sacrificial plaza…]
