Chapter 570-2: Offline Meetup, Apostle of Disorder (2)
As the distortion calmed, an illusory and hazy book appeared out of thin air.
The book’s cover was painted with countless strange and unfamiliar character symbols. The image symbol printed in the very center seemed to be an… eye?
While Lu Wu and the others were uncertain and startled, the book rapidly expanded and grew larger. In the blink of an eye, it occupied the entire summit of Kunlun, becoming an incomparably colossal book!
The pages rustled as they flipped, causing Kunlun to shake and the earth to tremble, while wild winds swept forth…
A figure appeared as the book’s pages turned.
The old man had kind brows and kind eyes, and his beard and hair were both white, but his face had sharp edges and deep-set eye sockets. Countless divine lights flickered in his blue eyes, clearly showing that he was not someone from Vermilion.
The old man’s clothing also carried an exotic style. He wore a wide pure-white robe and held a strangely shaped short staff. On the chest of the robe was printed a strange and mysterious character.
With Lu Wu’s cultivation and realm, He actually could not see through this person’s truth!
“The visitor comes with ill intent!”
Lu Wu instantly manifested the Nine-Tailed Giant Tiger Dharma form, and a deafening roar resounded across the peak of Kunlun!
But He had only roared halfway before His voice came to an abrupt halt.
Because another figure manifested beside the white-robed old man, looking at them with a smiling expression.
That person’s face was incomparably familiar. Even if he had turned to ash, Lu Wu would still recognize him.
“Junior Brother?!”
Before Lu Wu could speak, the White Elephant Demon cried out in shock.
Great surprise overflowed through Lu Wu’s chest. He twitched the corner of His eye, somewhat awkwardly transformed back into human form, and was just about to step forward to give this kid a bear hug when a sword light moved faster than Him.
Tsukishiro Murasakiyo threw herself into Lin Xun’s arms, her beautiful face covered in tear tracks. Her entire body trembled as she choked out, “My lord, this concubine knew you would definitely return!”
Lin Xun hugged the beauty in his arms, his gaze sweeping over Lu Wu and the others, then looking toward the cloud-mist-shrouded scene of Kunlun.
He could not help secretly sighing. “So this is what it feels like to personally come to a chapter world. This really is miraculous.”
He lifted Senior Sister’s chin and carefully examined Tsukishiro Murasakiyo’s face. “Tsk, this offline meetup not only didn’t fail, it’s a total win…”
Tsukishiro Murasakiyo’s beautiful face reddened, and she buried her head back into her lord’s chest. Although she could not understand the exotic words her lord said, she could still feel the teasing intent in his words.
Lin Xun drove Analysis Authority and spoke to the others in the language of this world. “I know you have many questions in your hearts, but now is not the time to explain. Just listen to my arrangements for everything.”
Lin Xun descended and returned with Book of Illusory Knowledge. With him, this backbone, present, naturally no one needed to flee anymore.
The Servant nodded to him and said, “Lin Xun, according to the analysis, after this world succeeded in salvation, the administrator can jump out of most of the operating mechanisms set by The Book of Salvation and break free from some of the old rules and restrictions.”
“Extreme Delusion Fruit is the administrator’s primary target. Now that the administrator has achieved his goal, this world still has some usage value.”
“The plan the administrator is most likely to execute is to dispatch Apostles of Disorder or old gods to spread the Disorder originating from the Divine Kingdom of Disorder in this world, causing all native gods to suffer the administrator’s thorough corruption.”
“The large-scale generation of Disorder will push the world past the first critical point in one stroke, or even the second critical point. But even without most of the restrictions of The Book of Salvation, it will still take some time for Disorder to spread and destroy the world…”
In the earliest plan between the Servant and Lin Xun, as long as salvation succeeded and everything was established as true, Omniscient True Knowledge would be able to lock onto the world coordinates, thereby defining the Book of Illusory Knowledge into this world.
Next would be dispatching an otherworld army to harvest the Evil God world’s resources and Divinity, adding fuel for Omniscient True Knowledge.
But now, because they had seen through the administrator’s true identity as a God of Disorder, and because the administrator was about to dispatch Apostles to destroy the world, they had to switch to another plan.
This plan would consume a lot of fuel, but compared to the gains, the slight cost was worth it.
The Servant’s words suddenly paused. The characters on his chest flickered rapidly. He gazed into the distance at the burning meteor streaking across the sky and slowly said, “The enemy… has come!”

Vermilion’s western border, Wusi City, Li Family Village.
In the days before, Vermilion had manifested a great natural disaster. The earth shook and cracked, and even in Li Family Village deep in the mountains, several houses had collapsed and been damaged.
However, fortunately, Leiyin Temple, where Namo Great Sage Relic Honored King Buddha was worshipped, had Buddha Ancestor’s protection and was not affected.
The many villagers had just completed the daily required lesson amid the host’s scripture chanting, worshipping and offering to the Great Buddha.
Suddenly, a rumbling explosion came from the horizon, from far to near. The villagers leaving the temple immediately raised their heads and looked up.
They saw a meteor from beyond the heavens tear across the sky, burning with raging fire as it fell into the human realm.
The meteor traced a sky-splitting arc and precisely fell into the courtyard of the house that had originally belonged to the Swordsmith’s son in the village, yet it did not make the imagined impact or roar.
The village head froze, then immediately shouted loudly, gathering the villagers to go and check.
Inside the Swordsmith’s courtyard, the burning meteor had not smashed out a large pit. Instead, it stood quietly on the ground, not even leaving the slightest scorch mark on this foreign world’s land.
The flames extinguished, revealing a black-robed figure. His face could not be seen clearly, and only a dry and thin outline could be faintly seen.
The most eye-catching mark on this person was a multicolored parrot perched on his shoulder.
The black-robed person looked around at the scenery and softly sighed. “How nostalgic… Back when The Book of Salvation had not yet broken down, when I was still an ordinary Apostle, this was how I entered one otherworld after another.”
“I heard that present-day Apostles can only carry out their so-called salvation journeys through lines of text. How truly pathetic.”
The parrot on his shoulder chirped, speaking human language. “Schroder, now is not the time to reminisce. I can sense that among the remaining native gods of this world, there are also powerful existences.”
“Our mission is to spread the God’s Favored Seeds from the Divine Kingdom, then return to the Divine Kingdom as quickly as possible!”
“Faster! Faster!”
The black-robed man Schroder shrugged and answered, then took out a small glass bottle filled with turbid gray water.
At this moment, knocking came from outside the courtyard gate.
The knocking continued without pause, its rhythm neither urgent nor slow, always the same as if mechanical, as if the one knocking were fundamentally not a living person…
Schroder held the small bottle and opened the courtyard gate.
Before the gate was a dark mass of villagers, and the old man in the lead seemed to be a village head.
The expressions of more than a hundred people seemed carved from the same mold. It was a strange coldness that made one feel deeply eerie.
The village head coldly glanced at the two and said, “Outsiders, come with us to worship Namo Great Sage Relic Honored King Buddha!”
Schroder raised an eyebrow and revealed a strange smile. “What an intimate and familiar opening. It really has been a long time.”
The parrot on his shoulder urged him again. “Schroder, handle the proper business. Faster, faster!”
Schroder ignored the village head and the group of villagers with unfriendly faces. He opened the glass bottle and poured every last drop of the turbid gray water onto the ground.
Looking closely, the gray water was not liquid, but countless tangled tiny worms!
The worms sank into the ground, rapidly devouring every inch of land, and as they devoured, they split and expanded rapidly!
In only a few breaths of time, the worms spread through the entire courtyard at an extremely terrifying speed!
The villagers let out heart-rending miserable howls. They had no time to flee. Those worms swiftly climbed onto every villager’s body, devouring their flesh and hollowing out their souls.
The village head was the first to see the abnormality, and also the first to slip away from the crowd.
As he ran toward Leiyin Temple, he shouted in terror, “There are monsters! Hurry and invite the Buddha!”
