As a "thick but thin booklet," Wen Xishu would waste a lot of time if he kept reading it.
After quickly skimming through it, he began to simulate Yin Junchi's tone and recounted the most concise version of the events.
"The arrival of the apocalypse was something I never expected to be so egalitarian. Even a powerful entity like the Sanqiu Group, in the face of some deities during the apocalypse, had to survive by any means."
"The first story Sirius told me revealed the truth about Reversed Seven—the heads of powerful families who yearned to survive the apocalypse prayed to the gods, hoping to become a major power in the chaotic world, so that they might eventually... become a dish on the plate."
"This is the apocalypse."
"Ordinary people in the apocalypse become the lowest-grade food scattered across the world. However, a few lucky ones might survive through postnatal efforts, even if they lacked innate qualifications."
"There are even those who start off as ordinary species, gradually climb to become rare species, then elite species, and slowly become leaders... even to the ruler level, eventually gaining immense opportunities upon recognition by Leo."
"Of course, these scenarios come from the prophecies of Pisces. In Pisces' prophecies, Sirius plays an extremely important role."
"The power of Sirius can make the situation more chaotic."
"At first, I didn't understand why Sirius was telling me all this, but soon, Sirius informed me that besides the evolution paths of ordinary species, elite species, leaders, rulers, and divine servants..."
"There is a very special existence, called the qualifiable."
"Qualifiables do not start from ordinary species, which are mindless monsters. Qualifiables possess sequence power."
"Sequence power is the force concerning all origins."
"And the sequence power I possess is called Sequence 36·Veiled Authority."
"I was very surprised. I had never thought of myself as a qualifiable. Qualifiables are actually considered advanced existences that possess the evolutionary path of ordinary species but can retain their sanity and start with sequence power. And some sequence powers are quite powerful."
"Sirius said that there is no pure land in the apocalypse, but he can create one. He is the key to ending the apocalypse."
"He was severely injured by Pisces but also obtained a prophecy from Pisces—a way that could truly allow him to survive, escape the entanglement of the apocalypse, and avoid being killed by many of his brothers and sisters."
"I thought it absurd, but soon, I believed what he said."
"Because I was no longer on the smuggling boat but had inexplicably arrived at a deserted island."
"On the island was an abandoned, deserted tribe, and outside the island was a crimson sea. Yes, the seawater was red."
"I had heard of red tides but had never seen such a pristine sea that looked like blood."
"The voice of Sirius came from the distant sky. This, then, is his ability."
"His ability is also sequence power, but it belongs to the most advanced category of the Three Towers series. This power can establish certain connections between his mental world and the real world, producing some special chemical reactions."
"In other words, he can create a world of his own... This world truly exists but is very difficult to find. This world will also not be affected by the apocalypse."
"But Sirius has not yet found a way to control this power. The world he creates is unstable."
"It still has weak connections to reality but strong connections to his mental world..."
"Sirius said that in the future prophecy he risked his life to obtain from Pisces—only by going to the Ark could he truly find a way to master his sequence power."
"To create a method that can avoid the apocalypse and allow all beings to survive reasonably."
"So, my encounter with Sirius was actually the meeting of two smugglers. Only Sirius realized my power at a glance... He is powerful and should have been even more powerful, but it is evident that he was seriously injured by Pisces. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to explain so much to me."
"He could have directly swallowed me into the world he created, given me an identity... and let me adapt on my own."
"But Sirius said that many people deserve to survive, and I also deserve to survive. The arrival of the apocalypse is a disaster for everyone, an unavoidable choice."
"There is still some time before the Three Towers War begins. He also needs a genuine helper and friend. He needs to leverage my power to find the key to mastering his own power."
"I agreed. This was far more adventurous than any book I had written."
"Under Sirius' operation, on the journey to the Ark, I went to many places, all of which were worlds he created... There were deserted islands, deserts, ancient tribes, and towns, and there was even a very terrifying place... with a church and flying goats in the sky."
"Sirius told me that these worlds are still unstable. Once we reach the Ark and find a way to master his power... he can create a pure land unaffected by the Three Towers War."
"By then, he and I could protect many people."
"As a novelist caught up in such a grand event, I should have withdrawn. But after withdrawing, what awaited me was the vast apocalypse, the long, endless chaos of the Three Towers War he spoke of."
"Alas, knowing that the other residents of the Reversed Seven Apartments had all been refined, I realized I had narrowly escaped death. If I chose to face the apocalypse... then in the future, countless things more terrifying than the Reversed Seven Apartments would await me. It wasn't every time that someone like Wen Xishu would inexplicably appear."
