Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1525 The Truth of the Apocalypse

"Wait, wait..."

Lin Yu listened to Bai Ying's words and felt that there was a lot of information to be conveyed.

The complexity of this information is no less than that of when she introduced the background of "Princess White Moon" earlier.

Lin Yu looked at Bai Ying with some confusion and asked, puzzled, "In order to prevent the extinction of 'civilization' and the destruction of the world, in order to prevent an apocalypse, the method you ultimately used was... to invade other worlds to create an apocalypse and allow other worlds to come into your world and cause destruction. Is that what I mean?"

Bai Ying looked at Lin Yu and said seriously, "That's exactly right."

Lin Yu countered, "What's the point?"

“Although your life form is quite unique right now, this shouldn’t be your true form, right? Your true form… is the ‘player’ of that ‘game,’ right?” Bai Ying looked Lin Yu up and down and said, “You were able to come here, and you even have a good relationship with Bai Yue, and you’ve even mastered mental power… In that game, you should be considered one of the best, right?”

Although Lin Yu didn't consider himself a "top performer" or a formidable figure among the "players" of the "Death Game," at best he was "somewhat skilled," he was certain that he was quite good during his "newbie" period, given that he had only been there for a short time.

But he understood that, in the face of Bai Ying's questioning, it would be better to appear "capable".

After all, given his current state as an "information life form," experts from the Ten Realms like Bai Ying, who could see through his current state and knew he was probably just an "avatar," found it difficult to ascertain his true strength.

Therefore, Lin Yu spoke rather humbly.

"Not particularly powerful, but he has indeed touched upon authority and is already considering becoming a god."

Bai Ying exclaimed, "That's amazing! Bai Yue was able to save your life... It seems she has grown a lot too."

"In short, now that you understand authority... concepts like gods and the will of the world should not be unfamiliar to you."

Bai Ying said in a low voice, "So, you should be able to understand what I'm about to say—the 'game' you're playing now has a will that transcends all world wills. Although it doesn't actually think, it has a complete set of continuously operating rules, and it makes specific and dynamic judgments and assessments of many events based on these rules."

“You humans from a world without a supernatural power system are the ‘players,’ while the ‘Ten Realms’ are the ‘game arena’… In the judgment of the will of this game, the beings of our world obviously have no ‘human rights’.”

Lin Yu nodded. Through several [dungeon] experiences, Lin Yu could easily discover this point.

In the judgment of the "Death Game," the beings of the Ten Realms... are indeed like "NPCs."

Their feelings, fate, and even their lives are not important.

Even if they possess immense power and can even interfere with the operation of the "Death Game" to some extent, from the perspective of the "Death Game"... they still seem to be serving the "Death Game".

"So, the apocalypse you're about to experience is related to the game?"

Lin Yu asked tentatively.

Bai Ying agreed with Lin Yu's idea: "You're right... The apocalypse that Kirishima World and other worlds have to experience is stipulated by the 'game'."

"Friends, the player you know who has played the game the longest, how long ago did they join the game?"

Lin Yu immediately replied, "Nearly three years ago."

Bai Ying spread her hands: "Yes, that's the purpose of that 'game'... Although the flow rates are uneven across different worlds, I've met some 'players' who participated in the 'game' back then, and they were definitely more than three years ahead of you."

“So, every now and then, this ‘game’ will put on a test for all of you players, similar to a final level, to eliminate 99.999% of the players, and may even cause a tragedy where no one survives—and even those who survive probably won’t have to participate in the subsequent ‘games’,” Bai Ying paused here, “and because the ‘game’ takes place in the Ten Realms, so… in order to make all players experience the test, this ‘game’ will also interfere with the world’s will, causing turmoil and upheaval in each world.”

Lin Yu understood: "So, this is why you can predict the apocalypse? You only need to check the time with the 'players' to roughly know when the 'final test' will arrive, and then you can calculate the time of the 'apocalypse'?"

"So... the 'apocalypse' has happened more than once, and there were not only groups of 'players' before us, but many groups in total?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Bai Ying nodded.

"It's true that there have been many batches of 'players,' but 'apocalypse'... is not that common."

"We can predict the arrival of 'doomsday' because there are 'records' about the final test for players that have been passed down. The records vary from world to world, but in our 'Kirishima World,' such a thing has happened twice in the records."

Including the time when White Oriole resisted, that means there were at least three groups of players before that.

Lin Yu silently noted this down.

Then, Lin Yu asked, "You mean that although there were 'players' undergoing trials in the Mist Island Realm before, there was no 'apocalypse'?"

“Yes, there was no ‘apocalypse.’ In the previous two records, there were only some large-scale chaos and turmoil, which were far from being the end of the world,” Bai Ying sighed. “But… when it came to our time, the situation was different.”

Lin Yu listened to Bai Ying's words and asked, "What's the difference?"

“According to past records, the strongest of those ‘players’ were only one or two ‘demigods’,” Bai Ying said, then couldn’t help but sigh, “So, for them, the test was nothing more than a large tsunami or a localized war…”

"That's what we thought back then... until the United Kingdom's expedition team discovered a 'rift' in the waters off Kirishima. Inside, a kind of power that would make even 'gods' feel awe was infecting the seawater and the fog floating on the sea, turning this originally harmless part of the 'environment' into a kind of 'source of infection' that could directly distort and change the soul form of living beings."

"This situation is more troublesome than any 'disaster' recorded before, so we launched an investigation... Subsequently, according to our predictions, if this rift continues to expand, the souls of the entire civilization and all living beings will be completely twisted into a state of irrationality."

"What's even more outrageous is that... back then, our research on the soul had already gone very far without touching any taboos, but we are still helpless against this kind of distortion, and even unable to understand it."

"Through negotiations and intelligence exchanges with some 'players' who have already established contact and long-term cooperative relationships with our senior management, we realized something... Similar 'signs' have also appeared in other worlds. This should be the world 'preparing' for the final test for all players under the influence of the game."

"And the 'signs' of other worlds are even more terrifying than those recorded in their past?"

Lin Yu understood after hearing this.

"There's actually... such a setting?"

"Then why is it even more terrifying this time?"

Bai Ying gave a wry smile: "At first, we didn't know the reason either... It wasn't until later that we discovered a problem."

"Compared to the strength of past 'players,' this time the 'players,' whether the strongest or the average, are several levels stronger."

"Among the players this time, there are even a few who have gained authority and ascended to the rank of gods."

"As for demigods who possess their own unique and powerful abilities... there are many more of them than ever before."

"Moreover... even though we already knew these things, we still underestimated the level of the 'players' from our own time."

"The Kirishima Realm is different from other worlds. The gods in our world do not need faith, so they rarely appear in the secular world. In fact, many of our people do not even know that gods exist. They only occasionally send envoys to have brief communication and exchanges with our royal family."

"But... on that occasion, the messenger of the gods, a giant black bird, came from the horizon and announced a message from beyond the Ten Realms to us."

"In another world, the gods... have fallen."

“A powerful god who wielded multiple powers and existed for a very long time died at the hands of a ‘player’—and, at the hands of a ‘player’.”

"This means that among the players this time, it's not just a matter of those who have touched the 'Divine Realm'..."

"Among them is a terrifying being capable of single-handedly killing another god!"

Even though the matter has ended, even though countless years have passed.

When Bai Ying spoke of these things, she still showed a look of lingering worry and fear.

Upon hearing these things for the first time, Lin Yu was shocked, but at the same time, he had a vague guess.

A single player who single-handedly slays a god who wields multiple powers...

Could it have been someone I know who did it?

This dead god... could it be fate?

No... According to the senior student, they did it together with two people and Crow.

Moreover, if it's about the fall of the god of fate...

The timing doesn't match up either.

Because the fall of the god of fate seems to have occurred during the "final trial," rather than before!
