Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Moreover, the God of Music seems to have left these clues because he may have discovered something.

He continued to watch the news:

"All beings are pawns, the believers of the new gods are the pawns of the new gods. The inheritors of the old gods are the pawns of the old gods."

"We are also pawns of the King God and the God of Corruption."

"This is not a term of derision. It is not mockery from the one who plays the game towards the pawns."

"Because we have turned into the chessboard, the chessboard sets the rules, and the pawns must find their own path to victory within the rules. Strictly speaking, you are pawns, but you are also players."

"The eight great old gods have each left a path that their respective inheritors can forge."

"Only the most outstanding inheritor under each can find that path."

"And as my inheritor, you have already found the path I reserved for you."

Zhou Baiyu did not find anything inappropriate about these words.

His trajectory was indeed something other Mutators could not replicate.

In a sense, he was the most powerful different walker at the moment.

Although he seemed rather weak, it was hard to say just how high his limit would go when his mutation erupted.

If one had to choose someone, a different walker to find the spinning shuttle left by the God of Music, Zhou Baiyu could say without modesty, "Who else but me."

"As you find the Book of Chaos, as you enter the body of the Devouring Demon God through the Book of Chaos, you have passed all my tests."

"But do not think that this is the end; this is just a preliminary task. The real mission only starts now."

"You cannot control the transdimensional mutation; every activation of it signifies the arrival of a mission."

"This is the first transdimensional mutation, consider it an introduction."

"At some point in the future, you will initiate the second transdimensional mutation, and once again gather with many forces in one place to search for the sacred relics of the gods."

"Additionally, pay attention to the defensive mode. That is the rule formed by the neutral gods. Achieving victory in defensive mode has great significance for humanity to gain more rule support."

Zhou Baiyu carefully noted every word, as this was the main storyline.

The true main storyline for the inheritor of the God of Difference and Chaos.

It was just that due to the characteristics of the God of Music, or perhaps as a result of the divine gambit—

Once transdimensional mutation is triggered, followers of other gods as well as inheritors will all be drawn into it.

Thus, this instance of transdimensional mutation was not the God of Music having fun, allowing the Mutators to rampage indiscriminately.

In fact, even possessing rules like rock-paper-scissors, facing an enemy of Karlando's caliber, there's hardly any chance of victory.

Therefore, the reason why so many people have gathered on an island is, in a sense, the result of a divine gamble.

It's the other gods, not willing to see the God of Difference and Chaos so easily and casually—find the divine revelation.

"You need to go through several transdimensional mutations, find the sacred relics of the gods in each one, but not this time."

"Only by collecting the sacred relics of the gods from the transdimensional mutations can you push the mission to the next stage with several sacred relics."

"But I cannot tell you what that stage is."

"That will overturn our understanding of the King God."

"Lastly, I will bestow upon you my blessing. You will be likelier than others to encounter those from the Holy Sanctuary."

"Perhaps you do not yet understand what this means, but you will come to understand it in the future. Consider this a reward for successfully completing this task."

There were no more pages to turn in the Book of Chaos.

No more text appeared.

Zhou Baiyu memorized all the contents and summarized:

1: The God of Music is half new god, half old god.

2: The King God's death was baffling, and the God of Corruption remains a mystery. The King God and the God of Corruption are confirmed adversaries.

3: Yet, this enmity has also led to the unique bloodline of the God of Music.

4: The world has undergone three disasters. To be exact, two—both the previous ones were successfully prevented and they seem unrelated to the King God or the God of Corruption. What we must do now is to prevent a third disaster, and the method is to contain the corruption.

5: The gods have turned into rules, becoming the chessboard, and everyone is a pawn. The task is to leverage the rules, survive as long as possible, and gather more information to find the path to one's god's revelation.

6: Neutral rules are important and should be utilized to attain as many victories in defensive mode as possible to gain the support of neutral rules.

7: It seems I've received some strange opportunities that don't seem useful at the moment, and I'm apparently more likely to encounter people from the Holy Sanctuary. But the significance of meeting people from the Holy Sanctuary remains a mystery.

That's generally it.

After organizing his thoughts, Zhou Baiyu turned around.

Now, he knew that he was inside the vast interior of the Devouring Demon God.

This truly was a demon god level creature.

He had thought that demon god level meant god.

But it seems, demon god level was still a notch below Divine Endowment.

This Devouring Demon of the demon god level, should have been tamed by the God of Difference and Chaos.

It had always kept some secrets for the God of Difference and Chaos.

As Zhou Baiyu turned around, the invisible wall in front of Bai Ling and Guang Tongchen had already disappeared.

Bai Ling quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Jiang Xianwu, have you received any news?"

"Yes."

Zhou Baiyu nodded:

"Right, but first I want to ask you something, Bai Ling. Did your father ever tell you any ancient stories? Anything about natural disasters and calamities from ancient times?"

Bai Ling looked at Zhou Baiyu with confusion.

Zhou Baiyu had only asked casually, never really expecting Bai Ling to answer: Yes.

So just as he was about to smoothly transition to the next topic, he was suddenly taken aback.

Because Bai Ling said with confusion:

"How... how did you know? Father did indeed tell a story, he said that he had received some revelations. He spoke of two disasters that had become part of history."

Zhou Baiyu's mouth fell open slightly, astonished.

How could this even be?

A casual question of his, which he thought even the God of Difference and Chaos would not be willing to speak of, must certainly be a secret within secrets.

But Bai Ling's father, Bai Ye, actually knew about it?

However, after another thought, it might be that the two were not talking about the same thing.

Nevertheless, out of caution, Zhou Baiyu still earnestly said:

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Sure, as long as you want to know and as long as I know, I'll tell you."

Bai Ling said:

"The first disaster was when monsters broke out of a high tower and returned to the human world, filling the world with peril."

"But as the monsters were sealed back into the tower, the crisis was averted. However, this crisis was not permanently resolved."

"To permanently resolve it, the Sealer ultimately chose to merge with the monsters."

"Since then, order and distortion have been unified."

"I don't know why my father would tell this story. Father also just said that it is a story he is also exploring for its meaning."

"The second story is even simpler. It is rumored that there is a tree, the Two-Life Tree. Two different things intertwined to form an unusual trunk."

"One side of the great trunk represents frost, symbolizing disease and plague, while the other side represents blazing fire, symbolizing immortality and eternity."

"If one side is discarded, the other side will bear fruits that disrupt the world. Only when intertwined can they form a balance."

"It's said the second disaster was someone trying to separate the Two-Life Tree."

Zhou Baiyu's eyes gleamed.

He suddenly understood!

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

"Order and distortion must be fused to completely resolve distortion!"

"Disease and immortality must be intertwined to stabilize the world!"

"The God of Difference and Chaos was reluctant to tell what the first two disasters were because he feared that speaking of them would overturn people's perceptions of the Divine..."

"Bai Ling, your father Bai Ye, is truly a great man. I don't know what he has uncovered, why he received revelations!"

"But he must have come into contact with some incredibly powerful beings."

Bai Ling did not understand.

Zhou Baiyu felt as though he had realized everything.

No wonder the Divine, while resisting the God of Corruption, also conceived the God of Difference and Chaos with the God of Corruption.

Because the fusion of order and distortion, the combination of disease and immortality...

Therefore, the Divine and the God of Corruption were actually the same god!

Just like some people are saints by day but turn into maniacs at night!

The Divine had previously strived to maintain a certain balance, but that balance had been broken!

Zhou Baiyu dared not speak these things out loud, for although he did not have evidence this time, his intuition told him...

This was the truth!

(Regarding the first two disasters, they are just easter eggs. They serve to conveniently introduce the dual nature of the Divine and the God of Corruption. The three stories... there might be easter eggs, but they won't have plot significance in terms of their connection.)
