I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

[Late at night, Jingren Palace is immersed in silence. Moonlight spills over the palace’s vermilion glazed tiles, glowing with a cold yet gentle luster, reflecting the chilly outline of the halls.]

[Within the palace walls, the lamplight is sparse, leaving only the eunuchs on duty quietly keeping night watch in the darkness.]

[The palace doors of Jingren Palace are tightly shut. In the inner chamber, one or two oil lamps are still flickering. That Worthy Consort still has not fallen asleep even deep into the night…]

[Facts prove that the Vermilion Crown Prince was overthinking. The two gods and Buddhas are transcendent beings who possess great divine arts. The Forbidden City’s strict defenses are nothing but a facade to the two of them.]

[If the two gods and Buddhas even wanted to force their way into Qianqing Palace and take the head of Martial Emperor’s fake body puppet, it would be as easy as turning over a hand.]

[The three of you reach Jingren Palace without much effort, and do not alarm anyone.]

[The Vermilion Crown Prince forcefully suppresses the excitement in his heart. He is both respectful and fearful toward the two gods and Buddhas. With Western gods and Buddhas assisting him, why worry about not ascending the imperial throne?]

[The lights at several places where eunuchs are keeping watch silently go out. The White Elephant Demon returns to your side and nods.]

[You bring the two of them and openly push open the doors of Jingren Hall.]

[Under the lamplight, the beautiful woman embroidering splendid garments frowns. Without even raising her head, she scolds, did this palace not already instruct you? Do not come disturb this palace. Get out!]

[Without needing your reminder, the Vermilion Crown Prince takes the initiative to step forward and snorts coldly, Worthy Consort, are you telling this king to get out?]

[Worthy Consort is suddenly startled. She abruptly raises her head, and when she sees that the person who came is the crown prince, her expression changes as she says, Crown Prince, how dare you trespass into the Rear Palace late at night!]

[Leave at once, and it will pretend tonight’s matter never happened. Otherwise, if your Father Emperor learns of this…]

[The Vermilion Crown Prince says to you, Buddha, who knows what methods Father Emperor used to refine these fake body puppets? Not only can no abnormality be seen from their appearance, even their conduct and habits are identical to the original bodies.]

[If it did not know in advance that the true emperor and Worthy Consort had already gone east across the sea, it would also be unable to distinguish whether the person before it is real or fake.]

[Seeing that the crown prince ignores it, Worthy Consort cannot help feeling anger rise. It shouts, men, but no one responds even after a long time.]

[You step forward, ignoring the woman’s struggles, and press your hand on her skull, carefully investigating the woman’s fleshly body and divine soul.]

[Characters flash rapidly in your eyes. Very soon, you understand the mystery of the fake body puppet.]

[This fake body puppet is also a living person. It is a person extremely similar to the original body. By using divine arts to slightly alter and shape the face, muscles, and bones, the puppet can be made to look exactly the same as the original body, with not the slightest flaw visible.]

[The puppet’s original memories have all been erased, and a section of Worthy Consort’s memories has been filled in, causing this puppet to believe that it is Worthy Consort, completely unaware that it is a puppet.]

[How could a mere mortal resist your methods? Worthy Consort is quickly controlled by you.]

[But the memories it inherited do not seem complete. It knows nothing at all about the daily recorder’s descendant you ask about, and does not remember ever having a young eunuch beaten to death with staves.]

[You search the entire Jingren Palace, but do not find any clues regarding The Daily Records of Martial Emperor…]

[…]

[Worthy Consort’s face is flushed red, her eyes moist and charming. Seeing that you are about to leave, she hurriedly grabs the corner of your clothing and says, World-Honored One, why not stay here tonight and go look for that book tomorrow morning?]

[You coldly glance at her, and this woman controlled by the Sexual Desire Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method unconsciously releases her hand.]

[Seeing that you insist on leaving, Worthy Consort, sunk in lust, finally recovers some clarity. After pondering for a moment, she says to you, World-Honored One, if this concubine once had that daily recorder’s descendant beaten to death with staves, and seized the handwritten copy of The Daily Records of Martial Emperor from him…]

[Then, based on this concubine’s way of handling things, this concubine absolutely would not have reported it to Martial Emperor, so as to avoid learning secrets it should not know and being silenced because of it.]

[This concubine would most likely secretly destroy this object and pretend not to know about the matter.]

[You know that the handwritten copy of The Daily Records of Martial Emperor must still exist in the world. Otherwise, the administrator would not have told you such information.]

[Seeing that you firmly believe the book still exists, Worthy Consort continues pondering and says, if this concubine did not destroy the book, then at the very least, this concubine would hide the book in an absolutely safe place, and it would be a place this concubine can often see.]

[This concubine is a devout disciple and worships Buddha and eats vegetarian meals every day…]

[As she speaks, Worthy Consort looks toward the Buddhist shrine in the corner of the hall. Enshrined on the Buddhist shrine is a Bodhisattva, Ten Great Vows Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.]

[You did not miss the Buddhist shrine when searching just now, but there are many furnishings in Jingren Palace, so you could only roughly search around.]

[Now that you have locked onto the specific target, after carefully investigating it, you indeed discover something.]

[There is a hidden compartment beneath the shrine, and inside it is a blue-covered scripture, Avatamsaka Sutra.]

[The scripture’s cover seems somewhat wrong. You gently lift it with your hand and tear off the cover used for disguise, revealing the six words The Daily Records of Martial Emperor!]

[You have discovered The Daily Records of Martial Emperor – Seventy-Sixth Handwritten Copy (Document Item)!]

“Damn! It was hidden this well. If I hadn’t known the relevant information beforehand, I probably wouldn’t have found this thing even if I searched until death.”

Lin Xun knew that the information revealed by the administrator must be extremely precious. He clicked the Document Item with great anticipation and read it.

[You open The Daily Records of Martial Emperor and examine the text in the handwritten copy…]

[…]

[The full set of daily records not only records the major events that occurred from the founding of the Vermilion Empire until now, but also records Martial Emperor’s daily life, daily routine, and every word and action.]

[The handwritten copy you are currently seeing is the seventy-sixth volume of the daily records, recording the important affairs of Vermilion Kingdom over the past nearly fifty years, as well as Martial Emperor’s itinerary and words.]

[You flip through the book and quickly find the key content, as well as the reason this book had to be destroyed…]

[It turns out that more than thirty years ago, Martial Emperor once took advantage of the period when he was traveling incognito to quietly cross the Eastern Sea, searching for Penglai Immortal Island on the Eastern Black Sea.]

[Because of the support of the Western gods and Buddhas, Vermilion Kingdom’s national fortune could remain long and prosperous without decline. Regardless of whether Martial Emperor could ultimately find the Daoist immortal venerates through his secret visit to Penglai Immortal Island, it was a great disrespect toward the Western gods and Buddhas. Therefore, this journey was unsuitable for public disclosure.]

[According to the daily recorder’s records, Martial Emperor rode an ocean-going ironclad ship and drifted for a long time in Moon Disc Sea Region, one of the nine great sea regions of the Eastern Black Sea, attempting to find Penglai Immortal Island.]

[Ancient books record: in former times, it was heard that Penglai Immortal Island is truly a Daoist immortal realm, hidden within Moon Disc Sea Region. Its gate transforms unpredictably, and without immortal fate from past lives, it is difficult to glimpse its path. Therefore, those who encounter fate by coincidence will naturally glimpse heavenly secrets and find Penglai’s gate. Conversely, those who forcefully seek it will find it difficult to discover its traces even if they exhaust their entire lives.]
