Chapter 825 A Shocking Upheaval! The Original Four Sages [1st Update]
To control death, to have absolute dominion.
Although the Tower still doesn't understand why the Sage Death's abilities far surpass those of the other sages, or even the original four sages.
But that doesn’t stop him from following the stronger.
Since he became a sage, he has been resisting disasters for countless centuries.
Tower had long been tired of this endless life.
Shielding from disaster, falling to one's death, then shielding again—it's all so boring.
But it just so happens that a cataclysmic disaster is about to strike, and they will no longer be able to resist it.
In this way, humans, like the dinosaurs of ancient times, will become completely extinct.
Both the tower and the daytime speech were respectful to the wise death god.
Only the sage, Starry Sky, showed him little respect; they were just ordinary peers.
"By the way, the Wheel of Fate in this life likes to play with technology." Yao Guang glanced at Sha Luo, who was still unconscious on the ground, and snorted softly, "Be careful she doesn't take pictures of you."
“I know her. Being prepared for anything is her usual style,” the man said calmly. “But don’t worry, in my domain, all matter is inanimate. She can’t photograph or record anything.”
Despite hearing what the Grim Reaper said, Yao Guang, out of caution, still checked Sara from head to toe.
Sure enough, they found several miniature recording and camera devices.
She removed the devices and then crushed them.
"Master," Zhou Yan, lying on the other bed, spoke up, "what is this future you spoke of that cannot be changed?"
“After 20xx, all I saw was death,” the man said slowly. “There was no sign of resurrection or any breath of life.”
Zhou Yan and Ta exchanged a glance.
This represents a catastrophe of apocalyptic scale.
Two of the original Four Sages have already fallen, and the Judgment and the World have disappeared without a trace.
What the world becomes by then is none of their business.

Meanwhile, inside the electronic prison.
Fu Yunshen looked at the empty cell and raised an eyebrow: "Yaoyao, just as you thought, she's been taken away."
“As expected, I didn’t foresee it, and no one else discovered it.” Ying Zijing squatted down. “But I can now confirm who it was.”
She installed a camera and recording equipment, but no footage came back.
Judging from the unique abilities of each sage, it can only be the Grim Reaper.
Fu Yunshen's back tensed slightly.
The two returned to the living room, where Qin Lingyu, Yu Xuesheng, and the others were.
As Caesar was plotting how to get rid of Norton, he immediately stood up upon seeing the girl: "Boss."
Norton clicked his tongue.
He really underestimated Xize.
This kid is actually the emperor.
“It’s Death. I know how he found you, the power, and the justice.” Ying Zijing gestured for Xize to sit down.
Xize's expression tightened: "How did you find it?"
“Death controls death, and it’s clear that his abilities are improving much faster than those of the Tower and the Hanged Man,” Ying Zijing said. “Not to mention combat power, in terms of overall strength, he has already surpassed me and my superior.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Lingyu and the others' expressions changed.
Norton narrowed his eyes: "Wouldn't that make them even more powerful than the original Four Sages?"
“That’s right.” Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly. “But if you only activate the reversed position, you definitely won’t reach this level.”
What Death did remains a mystery.
"So he can tell whether a sage is completely dead or not," Ying Zijin continued. "Then he will send Ta and the others to hunt down the reincarnation of the sage, but because his judgment is limited, mistakes will occur during the hunt."
Lu Yuan and Fu Liuying were two of the people who were wrongly hunted down.
And clearly, Lu Yuan and Fu Liuying were not the only ones who were wrongly killed.
Xize pursed his lips.
If he hadn't happened to meet Ying Zijing, and hadn't used Norton's help to unlock his body's limits through alchemy...
It's likely that he will be added to the list of these sages who have completely fallen.
"What is his purpose?" Qin Lingyu couldn't understand. "Xuesheng and I have also been on missions with Death. He shouldn't be this kind of person."
Ling Mianxi recalled the Holy War and was also puzzled: "Yes, he shouldn't be this kind of person."
"We don't know for now, but no matter how you look at it, this is going to be a tough battle." Ying Zijin slowly raised her head. "Gentlemen, we must be prepared to make sacrifices."
The words were heavy, but no one showed any fear.
They had already made preparations.
Ling Mianxi thought for a moment and said, "Aying, should we call the Pope and the High Priestess over?"
"Death has taken Sara away; the next target will definitely be the Pope or the High Priestess."
"No need," Ying Zijin said calmly. "Even the best opponents are no match for the worst teammates. Although they haven't taken any lives over the years, they've still aided and abetted evil."
Qin Lingyu agreed: "It's better to have fewer people than to be stabbed in the back."
Yu Xuesheng smiled faintly: "Death went to the Tower and the Hanged Man, but didn't go to these three, including Sara, which shows that he doesn't think much of them either."
“However, we still need to keep a close eye on the Pope and the High Priestess.” Ying Zijin nodded. “The Grim Reaper… he seems somewhat familiar to me.”
The group exchanged another glance, nodded slowly, and then dispersed.
Fu Yunshen did not participate in the entire meeting.
He leaned against the wall, gazing at the azure sky outside the window.
Ying Zijing walked behind him, pondered for a long time, and asked again, "Is the Grim Reaper really loyal?"
Fu Yunshen stood silently by the window, not responding to her words for the first time.
After a very long silence, he finally spoke, letting out a soft laugh: "I don't know."
Ying Zijin paused slightly.
Fu Yunshen turned around, hugged her, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly: "Miss Ying, you are all I have left."
He rarely showed his vulnerable side.
He is always strong and capable of standing on his own.
The last time was when Grandpa Fu passed away.
When she saw him sitting alone on the mountain, enveloped by the torrential rain, her heart softened instantly.
Ying Zijing's hand trembled slightly as she patted his back: "Brother, I'm here."

Because the residents of the City of the World witnessed the historic trial of the Sage Queen, the Sage's Academy is now just a name.
At the city gates connecting the world's cities to the seven continents and four oceans, people can now freely enter and exit without a pass, as long as they pass a check.
Similarly, the City of the World has also removed signal jamming, allowing people inside and outside the city to communicate freely.
In the past few days, Ying Zijin has sent Suwen, Lu Yuan and others to Huaguo and let them stay at the Ji family's residence.
Imperial Capital University could not accommodate too many students, so a group of them were sent to the Mechanical Engineering Department of Norton University.
With the addition of the alchemists sent by Ying Zijing, the vice principal couldn't stop smiling.
The NOK forum is buzzing with discussion about this.
The silly big shots are all eager to try.
Anyone want to team up to visit the City of the World? Count me in; I want to see how advanced technology will be hundreds of years from now.
I want to go too! I'm curious who's in charge of the World City, it's so awesome!
But soon, these posts were all disabled from being replied to.
Meanwhile, an announcement was quickly pinned to the top and highlighted in red.
[In this critical moment, no one is allowed to enter the City of the World!]
Meanwhile, IBI was also extremely busy.
Recently, many people from the City of the World have come here to apply for jobs, and they are all highly capable.
After compiling the reports of the newly recruited agents and investigators, Li Xinni sent a copy to Fu Yunshen.
He had just sat down and was about to log into the NOK forum to see if there was any gossip or big news in the past two days.
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly kicked open, and a person barged in.
It is a white descent.
Her expression was serious: "Licinius, something's happened!"
Li Xini immediately stood up and saluted: "Ms. Bai Jiang, what's wrong?"
Since learning that Bai Jiang came from the City of the World, the IBI members' respect for her has increased even further.
Bai Jiang was covered in sweat and panting: "Before Miss Ying left, she gave me all the information about the leadership of Norton University."
"We don't need to order any weapons we need through the NOK forum; we can just buy them directly from Norton University."
“Yes, yes, I know.” Li Xini quickly handed over a paper cup. “Ms. Bai Jiang, have some water first. Let’s take it slow and not rush.”
Bai Jiang finished the whole thing in one gulp, but his face remained deathly pale.
Seeing her like this, Li Xini's heart skipped a beat.
"Norton University just called, saying the astronomical observatory has sent an urgent report!" The usually calm Bai Jiang panicked for the first time. "An asteroid with a radius exceeding 3500 meters is hurtling towards Earth at an extremely high speed! It has already entered the Milky Way!"
"Estimated arrival time: January 1, 20xx, 00:00!"
