Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 1 The Abyss is Gazing

Fragments of golden light sprinkled on the table, the mottled window shadows swayed, and the rustling sound of book pages turning could be heard.

[You looked directly at the taboo]

[Triggers the "divinity" immunity determination, the minimum divinity requirement is "10", and your divinity is "12"...]

[Immunity successful, immune to this mental pollution]

……

The young boy Luo Xiu, or rather, the only trainee priest of the Glorious Church in Dawn Town at the moment - Luo Xiu, was flipping through an ancient black book that exuded an ominous aura.

"Just one more page, just one more page..."

Luo Xiu murmured almost subconsciously, driven by inertia, as he was about to turn a new page.

Luo Xiu suddenly felt alarmed.

He suddenly woke up, with sweat on his forehead. He touched his forehead and felt it was cold.

"It was really dangerous. I was just a little bit away..."

Luo Xiu gasped with some fear, his heartbeat like a drum thumping in his ears.

The young priest was flipping through a forbidden book called "The Holy Book of the Abyss".

Luo Xiu understood that as a "priest", he should not spy on things from the "abyss" in this way.

But Luo Xiu also knew one thing clearly.

——I will soon be hunted down by an evil organization called "Blood of Thorns".

Although the "Book of the Abyss" in his hand is a taboo, it is also a reliable means and weapon!
"Tsk, luckily I've seen this plot before..."

Luo Xiu rubbed his slightly aching temple with a complicated expression.

Behind the identity of "priest", Luo Xiu is a time traveler.

He had just come into this world.

……

Half an hour ago.

Apocalypse world, Fanor continent.

In the Nolan Empire, in Dawn Town, in the Glorious Church.

Luo Xiu woke up from a table piled with books.

His mind was in a daze, and he recalled his previous experiences with a blank expression.

Luo Xiu vaguely remembered that just half an hour ago, he had led the guild to kill through the seven levels of the abyss in the game "God's Destiny" and became the first player to kill the world-class boss "Abyss Disaster Dragon".

But just as he entered the Hall of Sin and prepared to claim the limited-edition reward, "Scripture of the Abyss"...

The consciousness suddenly fell into chaos, uncontrollably silent and deep sleep...

When I opened my eyes again, I was already here.

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing...

I'm afraid I've traveled through time...

Luo Xiu held his forehead with his hand, and all kinds of absurd yet realistic thoughts emerged in his mind.

At the same time, a game panel of "God's Destiny" that was very familiar to him appeared in front of Luo Xiu.

But this is no game...

Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, then pinched his face hard, but he felt a very real pain of his skin being pulled.

...Luo Xiu vaguely realized that maybe, possibly, he had traveled through time.

He had traveled to the game world of "God's Destiny"!
"..."

Luo Xiu rubbed his temples and felt a headache.

"...Can we rewind?"

"There's a bug?! Can the idiot planner hear me? Wai wai wai?"

With a glimmer of possibility in mind, Luo Xiu tried to call up the game system interface.

Light and shadows floated before his eyes, and a light blue system panel appeared in front of him.

【Traveler in a foreign land——】

【Welcome to the world of "God's Destiny"...】

【……】（……）
【Game Settings】（Gray box, crossed out）
【Exit game】(gray box, crossed out)
【Producer List】（Gray frame, crossed out）
"..."

grass, a plant.

"...F**K! Am I the only one who got hit by Sword Art Online?"

When he finally confirmed that he had traveled through time and not come to this world as a "player" like in his previous life, Luo Xiu, even though he was a great player in his previous life, still felt unprecedented confusion and fear.

"So, am I a player or an NPC now..."

"In the previous life, NPCs would die if they were killed..."

All kinds of doubts and worries surged into his mind, and after a long while, Luo Xiu finally accepted the reality.

He wanted to return to his original world.

But, it seems that I can’t go back for the time being…

Even though he was quite familiar with this game world, when the "time travel" plot like in the novels of his previous life really happened, Luo Xiu still felt a strong sense of sadness in his heart.

Putting the matter of "going back" in the bottom of his heart, Luo Xiu quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Let's observe first." Luo Xiu thought.

Fortunately, the player panel was still there. The red dot of the mailbox icon in the upper right corner of the panel was flashing, and Luo Xiu subconsciously clicked it.

Light and shadow floated, and a light blue panel appeared.

[It is detected that some reward items have not been collected in time. Do you want to collect them? ——Yes/No]

"……Yes?"

Luo Xiu gave a vague affirmation in his mind.

[Receiving...]

[Successfully received the "Abyss Holy Book"]

An ancient black book with strange black and purple lines on the cover appeared in Luo Xiu's hand.

“…The Abyss Scripture?!”

Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened!
This is exactly the limited reward that Luo Xiu was going to claim in the "Hall of Sin"!

“Is this considered my benefit as a time traveler…?”

Looking back, when I was claiming the limited rewards in the Hall of Sin, I passed through before I had time to confirm. The unconfirmed items should have been automatically recycled into the mailbox and turned into a red dot of "pending"...

I always feel that my habit of clicking on the red dot may cause me to accidentally make a mistake, but Luo Xiu still accepted the gift from the mailbox with peace of mind. It's good! Luo Xiu followed the advice.

As for the newly acquired "Scripture of the Abyss", Luo Xiu, who was a hardcore player of "God's Destiny" in his previous life, remembered the official introduction of the book very clearly.

——It is a creation-level item that records complete knowledge about the fate of the [Abyss], and there is only one copy!
——That is one of the original starting points of the power of this extraordinary world in the background of the game, and it is also the original source of all knowledge of the fate of the abyss!

In my previous life, or rather, in my opinion, the self half an hour ago, I spent a lot of money to assemble a team of high-level players, which allowed me to complete the first kill of the "Abyss Disaster Dragon".

Completing the first kill is a prerequisite for obtaining the "Book of the Abyss". Only then can Luo Xiu be qualified to enter the "Hall of Sin" and obtain this creation-level item "Holy Book of the Abyss".

Originally, Luo Xiu had planned it out. After getting the book, there would definitely be players and NPCs coming to seize it. To this end, he also carefully prepared various strategies for defending the city and ambush.

I didn’t expect that now, my goodness, I have traveled through time and space…

This means that he will no longer have any competitors, and he will truly begin to enjoy the "Holy Book of the Abyss" alone, without having to guard against various possibilities of being robbed by others in the short term!

Luo Xiu raised the corner of his mouth subtly and began to imagine the future.

Luo Xiu still vaguely remembered that in his previous life, the player who chose the fate of [Abyss] summoned abyss monsters and released chaos magic with full special effects...

There are also the immortal and powerful Abyss-guarding Dragonborn, and the blood-clouded Night of Death...

A set of "Abyss" skills are both cool and powerful. If the level of practice is high enough, it is almost unstoppable!
However, the disadvantage of the "Abyss" destiny is that the skills are difficult to obtain. After all, before version 2.0, the Seven Abyss was not an open map.

It was not until the arrival of version 3.0 that players were able to gain strength and skills from the "Echoes of the Abyss", and the fate of the "Abyss" became the direct answer to the version.

But even if the map of the Seven Abyss is opened, the various skills and abilities of the "Abyss" are still extremely difficult to acquire.

It is precisely for this reason that "Scripture of the Abyss" is the envy of almost all players.

Players who hold the "Abyss Codex" will no longer need to spend time and effort to collect the extraordinary skills of the "Abyss" destiny.

"Book of the Abyss" allows players to truly become the true "Lord of the Abyss"!
In his previous life, even Luo Xiu, who was a die-hard player of [Glory] Destiny, had thought about changing his job after seeing the special effects and strength of [Abyss] Destiny.

This is also the reason why Luo Xiu organized a group of high-level players to fight their way to the bottom of the abyss and obtain the "Abyss Holy Book" at any cost.

But now, boy...

Luo Xiu felt that times had changed!

I didn't expect that the player's happy book, which I didn't have the chance to experience in my previous life, would travel with me along with my mailbox!
Thanks to nature... no, the gift of the mailbox!
The expression of joy on Luo Xiu's face could no longer be suppressed.

While immersed in beautiful fantasies about the future, Luo Xiu began to collect more information about himself.

The thought moved slightly, and a character panel appeared.

[Internal test opening time: 189 days and 23 hours...]

"hiss……"

It turns out that I didn't travel through time with my account, but I traveled through time to a blank NPC with the same name as myself...

But this is normal, after all, my last name is Luo and my name is Xiu, which was a very common name in the East and the West in my previous life.

But this intensity made Luo Xiu feel a little distressed, as this was completely the template for a novice character.

Luo Xiu's first destiny was the [Glorious] destiny. In "God's Destiny", different destinies represent different extraordinary camps and ability tendencies.

To embark on the path of [Glory] means to become a loyal believer of the glorious pillar god - "Sun Forger".

The tendency of this destiny is "holy" and "light". Only after reaching the second destiny can one officially embark on the extraordinary path.

Luo Xiu felt lucky that his initial destiny was [Glory], because his gaming profession in his previous life, "Lord of Wings of Light", was one of the advanced professions in the [Glory] destiny. Luo Xiu was very familiar with the promotion path after this destiny.

However, [Glory] and [Abyss] have completely opposite destinies, and according to the laws of destiny, they cannot coexist.

Luo Xiu began to feel distressed, but this distress did not last long.

After carefully checking the information on his character panel, Luo Xiu soon discovered that his soul had traveled through time and space to become "blank NPC Luo Xiu" and had the limited expertise "Heart of Apocalypse"!
Open the expertise details panel, and its introduction is described as follows:

[A priest once awakened the "Heart of Revelation", but ultimately could not escape the fate of death. The "Heart of Revelation" disappeared from then on, without a trace...

It is a product that can accommodate all destinies, a gift from the Ring of Revelation...】

The general idea is that it can accommodate the coexistence of originally contradictory destinies, and if there are enough slots, you can also learn skills or abilities that are not part of your destiny and combine them at will.

And since he has the limited expertise of "Heart of Revelation", it means that in him, the destiny of [Glory] and the destiny of [Abyss] can coexist!
"It's absolutely amazing..." Luo Xiu praised sincerely.

However, although it was indeed wonderful to discover that he had the expertise of the "Heart of Revelation", Luo Xiu still felt that something was not right...

Suddenly, Luo Xiu's pupils constricted and his heart began to beat violently.

There seems to be a sentence like this in the introduction of "Heart of Apocalypse":

——"A priest once awakened the 'Heart of Revelation', but ultimately could not escape the fate of death..."

"..."

Luo Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, and he had a bad feeling.

From the countdown for the internal test at the bottom of the character panel, we can see that the current in-game time is before the 1.0 version is released.

There may be players in the future, but during this period, the magnificent Judgment War has not yet begun, the Scarlet Moon is still sleeping in the shadows, and major events such as the echo of the seven abysses, the awakening of the ancients, the invasion of the fallen world, the advent of the god of decay, etc. are still brewing...

The comfort at this moment is just a moment of calm before the storm.

If the originally dead lunch priest is still alive during this period of time, then there is only one possibility...

"This lunchbox priest seems to be talking about me?!"
