Chapter 2014

{7"Kill... eat!?"

Lin An's heart jolted; as he listened to the first half, he was still comparing it to his earlier guess. He even thought that this approach of the Savior System undoubtedly could cultivate strong individuals at minimal cost. United together, they would jointly resist the Apocalypse!

This roughly matched his earlier guess, being efficient and reasonable.

But upon hearing the end, the absurd answer made him feel that 77 was deceiving him!

You're quite surprised, right?

Number 77 unsurprisingly chuckled. Everyone who learns of the Savior Alliance's information ends up reacting this way; otherwise, he wouldn't consider that bunch a group of powerful and perverse lunatics!

Overseer, if you say that, then what kind of alliance is this? Why... why would we devour each other!?

Lin An couldn't help but retort.

If 77 says that, then he would even be glad that the guy in the skull cavern died!

To complete it.

Just as I said, each universe trials a path, and when that universe's seed can break the cosmic wall, it often means this path holds the possibility of reaching the ultimate.

If so, then let all the seeds fight it out. Kill until the end; whoever wins is right.

Of course, perhaps the original saviors feared that a path could actually lead to the ultimate, but due to poor 'development,' they lost to other seeds. He did not allow this to happen, so he established another rule.

That is, after the battle ends, the victor will fully absorb the loser's system, retain the opponent's abilities, and forge them into something akin to a system function.

Like doppelganger puppets, those legendary top saviors each have several 'selves,' which you can understand as having several systems serving them.

On this basis, some saviors are remade into systems, turning into rings that are redeployed across universes for another round of selection.

Repeating this, the strongest constantly devours other paths, and even pushes the consumed paths to their extremes!

Infinite possibilities! The possibility of infinite paths all taken to the extreme!

In theory, perhaps we could truly create a genuine savior!

Saying this, number 77 paused slightly, a flash of awe crossing his eyes.

So Lin An, in a sense, you have inherited the corpse of the Previous Generation Savior. His path should be the macroscopic technological side combined with microscopic combat instinct.

This path corresponds to the Rule System and Body System, belonging to the extreme branches of the two systems.

That's why I'm not in a hurry to let you exchange for all sorts of random junk.

The system on your body will help you resolve the Rule and Body paths. Likewise, as your system recovers, the Doomsday System will identify you as the Previous Generation Savior. I have you fuse another system to help you cleanse again.

Blinking his eyes, number 77 seemed able to see through people's hearts, gazing at the ring in Lin An's hand.

Lin An's expression stalled; before his eyes flashed the image of himself using Cain's Blade to devour rules... and... the Doomsday Base Vehicle!

(Cain's Blade and combat instinct provide early rules and combat power! The Doomsday Base Vehicle provides late-stage rule path!)

The information overload was immense, and Lin An suddenly grasped many of his prior doubts!

Moreover, he realized why 77 did not want to tell him this information!

Regarding the Doomsday System, 77 will help him resolve it, but he must face the threat of other saviors! One, no... a group of saviors capable of breaking the wall!? To be frank, such power already exceeds Lin An's cognitive limits!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin An still had something he couldn't figure out.

Then Overseer, I fuse the Three Systems, as you said, to cleanse and also to strengthen the path. But the corpse in the skull cavern, you didn't say it was similar to me?

Is his Savior System the same as mine? That's why they're alike!

In that case, doesn't that amount to pre-verifying my future?

Or are you wanting to test it? Because he also reached the Seventh Stage?

Lin An questioned doubtfully, and the next second he saw number 77 nonchalantly wave a tentacle:

No, I said they're similar, not the same. First, your Body Path differs from his, and there's a huge gap in the Faith Path.

Although it appears similarly a fusion of the Three Systems, his Three Systems are at best lame, far inferior to your potential.

Didn't you notice? Those cognitions in the skull cavern are actually his understanding of faith. That guy's Faith Path is completely wrong. I suspect he also realized the Previous Generation Savior died due to the Dual Systems, so he forcibly embarked on the Three Systems, trying to avoid being devoured when breaking the wall. Unfortunately, he was too rushed and made too grave a mistake.

Under forced fusion, his own system malfunctioned, triggering system surveillance and resulting in his direct erasure.

Um, this cognition involves higher-level information; I'll explain later.

In short, he's a failed product, and I also don't want you to bear too much pressure, so I didn't plan to tell you this.

Having spoken, number 77 himself didn't know whether telling Lin An these things beforehand was good or bad.

Although his explanation was clear enough, a living example of a failed Three Systems sits before him, still extremely similar to this kid, making Lin An easily doubt himself.

Furthermore, Lin An knows he will inevitably face other saviors in the future...

To be frank, this pressure is so great that even 77 himself finds it terrifying.

Of course, he also withheld something from Lin An: although the corpse in the skull cavern failed, it also side‑confirms that Lin An's foundation is extremely suited for a Three‑Systems union! Even an erroneous Faith Path can reach the Seventh Stage! If combined with the information he stole, Lin An's future will certainly not stop at the Seventh Stage!

After striving to digest the information, a while later Lin An slowly loosened his fists.

Overseer, you previously said I should pay more attention to when he died.

This sentence... what does it mean?
