Lin Feng was invited into a slightly different infinite space. "People in the quest world actually know my identity?" In the Dungeon world, he traded for the Hand of Devil using his name wi...
"High Priest, a new administrator has been born under the grace of truth."
In the heart of the burning city, amidst a blazing inferno, a figure holding a candle, standing in a fiery hall, approached a bookshelf.
Behind the bookshelf, a man in a long robe holding a book with half its cover burned slowly turned around.
Many tiny characters, as thin as mosquitoes, swirled on the book in his hand. Each time the flame burned, the characters became slightly blurred, but they seemed to never burn out, constantly dancing in the flame.
"Truth is guiding him here."
*Smack*
The high priest closed the book: "Truth is responding to his faith."
The candlelight priest bowed his head, and immediately heard the high priest's command: "Bring him here."
"yes."
Whoosh, the flames began to flicker, and a hidden power within them swept towards all the fanatics around them.
Look!
Humanity's proud knowledge has been reduced to ashes!
The fanatics of faith gouged out their eyes, peeled off their skin, offered up their limbs, and used their bodies as candles, melting into the truth like wax. They opened their skulls, ignited all their knowledge, and offered it to the fiery truth.
Now, new knowledge has emerged, and truth is responding to them; they will dedicate it to truth!
"High Priest, Joel has arrived."
As he spoke, footsteps sounded behind him.
An ordinary-looking brown-haired man walked in first.
“Yor, I will keep in mind what you said.” The High Priest also came over, and the eternally burning knowledge beside him was like a series of voices that wreaked havoc on the world, stirring up waves that tested willpower.
“High Priest, that person has already entered this place,” Joel said calmly. “I need you to use every means to find something different from this world!”
In return, I will open the door to another world for you, bringing you new knowledge!
As they spoke, a phantom portal opened before them, and the high priest immediately saw the towering stone statue of a deity standing behind the portal.
"You will bring them the truth of fire."
"I will find him," the high priest replied softly, a faint, unusual light flickering in his empty pupils.
The only different thing in this world is the new administrator who recently resonated with the truth.
If nothing unexpected happens, it must be this person, but... the truth of the flame should belong to him, and he will not allow anyone to taint the truth!
Joel bowed slightly, and after responding to the high priest's inscrutable gaze, he disappeared from the scene.
As the aura faded into the distance, the High Priest took another step, walking step by step toward Lin Feng's location.
boom!
A tremendous roar erupted from underground, and a gigantic humanoid figure carrying countless burning bookshelves crawled out of the burning city's underground magma, lifted up the high priest who happened to be walking by, and continued crawling forward.
...
Before the valley ablaze, rows of fanatical believers, their skulls split open and brains burning, stood like candles behind the valley.
Ahead of them, another group of fanatics, their bodies melted and their limbs replaced with spiked weapons, were advancing towards them.
At that moment, a rumbling sound came from the distant land, and the high priest, riding a giant humanoid figure, finally arrived at the battlefield.
"Believers in the truth, offer your most sincere faith!"
Beneath the flames, believers with relatively normal physiques emerged, carrying various weapons and wearing all sorts of armor. They knelt on the ground at the high priest's command.
Then, their fanatical faith transformed into flames, their skin began to melt, their limbs began to break, and they fiercely pieced together the weapons and armor they had forged with knowledge at the broken joints.
call!
The flames on their bodies surged several times in an instant, piercing through their facial features, melting all their flesh and blood, and penetrating their bodies.
Simply knowing about sacrifices is not enough to demonstrate their faith.
They will piece together the products of knowledge into their own bodies, scorching them with the flames of their burning faith, and eternally and continually sacrifice them to the truth.
Soon, new fanatics emerged from the flames, following in the footsteps of the vanquishing forces and charging towards their enemies.
Faced with such an offensive, Lin Feng, who once again focused all his will on the flames, couldn't help but call upon those fanatical believers who had been dormant in the truth of the flames.
"Believers in truth, show them the magnificence of truth!"
Unlike the burning of knowledge, the believers in Lin Feng's hands are an endless emptiness. They do not have knowledge that can burn eternally; all they have is the emptiness left after knowledge has been burned.
And only the flames can soothe them, allowing the burning pain to bring peace to their empty hearts, and turning all tangible things into nothingness after they have burned away.
call!
An even hotter flame erupted from their burning brains, and their desires, which had found a moment of peace, were reignited, transforming into a raging torrent of fire.
"Grant them peace!"
Lin Feng's will spread around them, and they hugged each other tightly, ignoring all attacks, and melted together with each other.
Soon, candles appeared one after another in the valley, their flames forming a layer of molten fat on their bodies, binding the two mad souls together.
Until the High Priest entered this frenzy, Lin Feng, who had arrived earlier, immediately sensed the immense aura of the truth of fire emanating from him.
“You come from the outside world!” the high priest declared. “Such a will cannot be born here.”
Lin Feng did not answer, but savored the aura of truth emanating from the other person, constantly immersing his mind in it.
Seemingly sensing Lin Feng's actions, the High Priest slowly said, "Offer your knowledge, and truth will bless you."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Feng's will wavered slightly.
He possessed a wealth of knowledge, so much of it that it could be sacrificed to the truth of the flame at any time, yet none of it was knowledge he wished to offer as a sacrifice to the truth of the flame.
"Offer your sacrifice, and I will share the truth of fire with you."
The high priest spoke, seeing Lin Feng's wavering in the flames, and also the magnificence of the knowledge in Lin Feng's hands.
Those are not merely pieces of technical knowledge, but also the hopes passed down through countless unwavering wills. If these are used to sacrifice the truth of fire, he will surely become the master of the truth of fire, transforming from a high priest into the god of truth of the burning city.
"bring it on."
"The truth of flame awaits your sacrifice."
As the high priest spoke slowly, flames of truth once again manifested some form, their viscous, filthy color containing all kinds of knowledge abandoned by the endless world.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's hesitation quickly faded, and his gaze focused on the flame, summoning some knowledge from his mind.
That knowledge came from his understanding, his self-summary, and his judgment derived from inherited knowledge.
Only by sacrificing these things can his piety toward the truth of fire be truly demonstrated, and only these things can allow him to go further into the truth of fire!
He will truly burn himself out, dedicating everything to the truth of fire!
