Gate of Revelation

Chapter 836

Chen Xiaolian saw looks of fear appearing on the faces of the Development Team members around him.

Although he could see no significant difference between what happened now and what happened previously, clearly, the Development Team member who was just erased did not just lose his body in this world. Rather, he had truly… been killed!

“Stop it!” one of the Development Team members said, his voice trembling somewhat. “You said it yourself. He will use your body to revive himself! Do you want to die? Hurry up and stop!”

“I don’t mind. Besides… you fellows will kill me all the same. It makes no difference for me.” The first GM chuckled softly. “Moreover… I am simply incapable of stopping it.”

“His power, scattered across every corner of this world, is converging upon my body like the eye of the storm. It has nothing to do with my own will.

“There is no longer anything that could stop your god from waking up. You cannot stop it. Neither can I. All this became inevitable the moment the eye of the storm was formed.”

“We absolutely cannot let him wake up! Kill the Main Controller!”

The Development Team member shouted loudly. Gripping the lance in his hand, he stabbed it towards the first GM.

Without the slightest delay, all the other Development Team members gripped their lances as well and rushed forward to stab the first GM.

There was still a great distance between them and the first GM. Even so, with the uniform movements of the lance, all seemingly moving under the will of a single entity, everything – even space – transformed into countless streams of green-coloured code. It was like a pot of boiled porridge, churning no-stop.

“I told you before, it is useless. Even though he has yet to fully awaken, his power already exists within my body.”

The first GM continued to stand still. The surrounding streams of code flew tempestuously but were seemingly incapable of harming him in the slightest.

Next, he stretched his hand once more and wiped the sky with it.

With just one wipe, half of the winged angels in the sky – like a chalk rubbing across a blackboard – were utterly erased.

It was as though they had never existed.

Instantly, all the members of the Development Team halted.

Although Chen Xiaolian was only watching something that happened long ago by synchronizing with the wings, he could still feel clearly the atmosphere of dread there.

A profound dread that permeated the entire world.

“It’s over for you fellows.”

The first GM raised his head and looked at the remaining members of the Development Team in the sky, his voice calm.

“No… you’re wrong! We still have our final move!”

Chen Xiaolian heard a sudden burst of laughter coming from the Development Team member that he was synchronizing with. “Do not forget, his body is still in the Upper Plane. And we… not all of us came down to this Lower Plane! Since you’ve read his memories, you should know how we shattered his divine consciousness!”

“In addition… do not forget, before attacking you, we have already dispatched Players to complete all the instance dungeons!

After hearing about it from Chen Xiaolian, the GM entered a state of deep silence. It wasn’t until some time had passed did he ask, “What do you think about it?”

“You want my analysis?” Chen Xiaolian stood up and walked to the wine cabinet. Bringing out a bottle of brandy, he unscrewed it and took a deep gulp before sitting down on the sofa.

“Firstly, the Development Team is a group of traitors. They had betrayed their master. Moreover, that master was originally an existence that they absolutely could not go against and also an existence that they fear deeply.”

“Since the madmen from Jerusalem believe that he is God, we’ll call him God for now. Besides… judging by how powerful he is, he is truly qualified to be called God.

“Although I do not know why they betrayed him, it is very clear that their power is still not enough to fully kill off their former master. All they could do was split God’s power into two parts. One part is left in the Upper Plane while the other part was shattered and banished to our world.

“The part left in the Upper Plane is called the divine body while the part that was shattered and banished to our world is called the divine consciousness.

“It would appear that the Development Team has constructed a mechanism that would pit the divine consciousness against the divine body to destroy both. In the end… this might be able to fully kill off God. However, this will take a very long time.

“In addition, while the power of the divine consciousness has been shattered, it did not completely disappear. If a sufficiently strong power is to appear in this world, exceeding a certain critical point, that power would become an eye of the storm that would automatically absorb the divine consciousness. Finally, it would completely gather up all of them.

“That is the moment ‘God’ returns.”

“And also the moment that the Development Team fears the most.” The GM nodded. “So, do you think this is exploitable?”

“I fear not. At the very least, not right now,” Chen Xiaolian muttered.

“Firstly, according to the first GM, after becoming the eye of the storm, there would be a period where the person could read God’s memories and even utilize his powers. In the end, however, once the divine consciousness is fully gathered, the body of the ‘eye of the storm’ would be taken over by the divine consciousness. This meant… becoming a sacrifice to revive God!

“Secondly, we still cannot be certain as to what kind of person this God fellow is. Once he is revived, he would settle the account with the traitors from the Development Team. However, what would he do to our world? It had to be said, it’d be an easy thing for him to destroy our whole world if that’s what he desires.

“Furthermore, it seems like it would be very hard for us to create that ‘eye of the storm’. If the guys from the Development Team aren’t stupid, they would surely do their best to stop history from repeating itself. In fact… I think they have already done so. Look, a regular refresh every 1,000 years began after that. Originally, I had assumed that it was to limit the development of your sentience. But now, it looks like that is not what the Development Team is concerned about.

“What they are concerned about is the appearance of another eye of the storm! Regular refreshes are like weeding the garden to ensure that no power – strong enough to become the eye of the storm – appears in this world.

“The Development Team knows about Mr San, Du Wei, Shen and the others. But until now, they have not truly used all their resources and power to wipe them out. At the very least, they did not use their exclusive accounts, the angel bodies, to come to this world again.

“As such, I believe that we – given our level of strength – still have a considerable way to go before reaching the critical point needed to become the eye of the storm.

“If so, what do you plan on doing next?” the GM asked.

“Damn it… to be honest, I’m a little scared.” Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly. Without first pouring into a cup, he raised his head and hand to take a big mouthful of the brandy. “This must be the one secret that the Development Team does not want exposed the most. Once they realize this, I will most assuredly become the highest-level target. Although the Electronic Guardians and Players are no longer a big threat, those angel bodies… those are too terrifying.

“According to the Development Team, they could endlessly create those bodies. Moreover, even if we could destroy those bodies, we could not truly kill off the members of the Development Team that came over, unless… we become the eye of the storm and gain God’s power. However, that would mean having one’s body and consciousness taken over by God.

“Therefore, this matter must remain between just the two of us. It must not be leaked to anyone else. Thankfully, we are now inside Zero City. Everything that happens in here remains unknown to the Development Team. If not, there’d probably be numerous of those angel-type exclusive accounts besieging me by now.”

“Understood.” The GM nodded slowly. “Then, let’s continue with our previous pace. As for the information you obtained from the wings, ignore it for now. Wait until you have resolved the Shen issue and this coming refresh before thinking about it.”

“That Shen. He’s also another fellow who’ll kill me the moment he disagrees with me…” Chen Xiaolian slapped his face and kneaded it. “Why’s my life so bitter! Enough, don’t bother me. Hurry up and go do your own work!”

The GM nodded. Without saying anything else, the hologram then disappeared from the room.
