End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Although Jeremy hoped Bonnie could quickly master the Magic Expert awakening talent she had acquired, it was evident that gaining full control over such a talent would require significant time and practice. Therefore, it was impossible for Jeremy to continue his actions while bringing Bonnie along with him.

Moreover, Jeremy had no intention of facing Kean alone. While he believed his own strength surpassed Kean's, traveling to the capital would place him in an isolated and vulnerable situation. Kean, on the other hand, had the potential support of the Person in the Mirror. This made it clear to Jeremy that he could not afford to take unnecessary risks.

Thus, Jeremy decided to first investigate the three spoils he had obtained from the special instance.

The Dark Core was not something that could be investigated further, and the perfectly crafted crystal octahedron was too complex to examine with any certainty. So, Jeremy chose to start with the Permafrost Ice.

According to the Eye of Omniscience's guidance, the Permafrost Ice needed to be placed in an "eternal flame" in order to reveal more information. However, Jeremy had no way of locating this "eternal flame" on his own. So, he decided to seek help from his allies.

The first two people Jeremy turned to were the Class Change Goddess Janna and The World. He shared the information he had received and asked them, "Do you have any thoughts? Where do you think this 'eternal flame' might be located? Or, what do you think the 'eternal flame' actually represents?"

Class Change Goddess Janna slowly shook her head. As the goddess of class changes, she was well aware that some talents were related to flames. But she had never encountered anything like the "eternal flame" mentioned in Jeremy's clue.

In Janna's view, even the developers of the Apocalypse Game wouldn't be able to create something as specific as the "eternal flame."

After Janna admitted she had no useful ideas, Jeremy turned his gaze toward The World. If The World could not provide any insight, Jeremy would likely have to seek Liam's help in the real world.

The World remained expressionless as he pondered the question for a moment.

"I have two ideas," he said slowly, finally breaking the silence. "First, the 'eternal flame' might not refer to a traditional flame at all."

His suggestion caused both Jeremy and Janna to pause, their eyes widening in interest.

"You're right," Jeremy said directly, "The eternal burning flames could very well represent a certain will or way of thinking."

[World] slowly nodded.

"You're correct, but the key point is eternity. As far as I know, aside from beings that are deities, no will or mindset can exist eternally," [World] said, carefully expressing his thoughts.

Jeremy furrowed his brows and thought for a moment before replying, "So, you're saying that this clue is definitely related to the developers of the Apocalypse Game?"

Although Jeremy was a little disappointed, he had actually anticipated that this might happen.

Jeremy had originally thought that this clue was just related to the Sun. He hadn't expected it to be connected to all the developers of the Apocalypse Game.

[World] slowly shook his head.

"I don't know. This is just my guess. I don't know the final answer!" [World] answered honestly.

He believed he was only offering Jeremy some assistance. He couldn't deduce all the details just from this single clue.

Jeremy nodded, acknowledging the answer.

"Then what's the second idea? You said you had two, right?"

[World] nodded slowly and continued.

"The key point of the eternal burning flames is eternity, but another keyword is 'flames.' Where do you think we could find flames? Keep in mind, the flames mentioned here are not ordinary flames. These flames must possess immense power. Aside from the developers of the Apocalypse Game, the only other beings who could wield such powerful flames would likely be deities from other worlds."

Your adventure continues at empire

The two ideas [World] proposed were similar to Jeremy's previous thoughts.

Now, aside from returning to the capital, Jeremy didn't have many other options. He had to figure out the connection between the eternal burning flames and the Sun before he could further uncover the secrets behind Permafrost Ice.

"I understand! Although the information you've provided isn't very much, I still want to thank you. I hope that when I run into trouble, you'll be there to help me out promptly," Jeremy stated directly, laying out his request.

Class change goddess Janna immediately responded without hesitation.

"Of course, there's no problem at all. I'll stay in the class change space. If you run into any trouble, you can pray to me. I'll make sure to assist you as quickly as possible."

Since class change goddess Janna had no other obligations, she could easily agree to this.

[World], however, didn't give a direct answer.

There were many things [World] needed to do. He had been planning to counter [Fool], and although his previous efforts hadn't been particularly successful, he felt he couldn't stop now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After contemplating for a moment, [World] slowly spoke.

"If it's convenient for me, I will help you. But you should know, I usually have more important tasks to carry out."

Jeremy, of course, expressed his understanding.

"I understand! So if you don't have time to help, I won't hold it against you!"

With those words, Jeremy turned and left.

In his mind, he already had a rough plan forming. He needed to work out the details quickly, then team up with his companions to put it into action.

After Jeremy left, class change goddess Janna looked at [World] with a worried expression and asked,

"What exactly is the secret behind Permafrost Ice? Do you really know nothing about it? I believe the special instance Jeremy went through must have been created by one of the Apocalypse Game planners. This planner wants Jeremy to act according to their plan. Don't you worry that there might be a massive conspiracy behind all of this?"

Upon hearing this, [World] gave a bitter smile.

"Of course I know. This is very likely a huge conspiracy. But we can't stop Jeremy. We also need to gather more clues through his actions."

The planners of the Apocalypse Game had grown increasingly powerful. In the past, they could only infiltrate the real world through instances, but now, they were capable of directly exerting their influence into the real world.

The time we have left is actually running out. That's why Jeremy's actions are crucial for us. Sending him on these adventures is something we have no choice but to do," [World] reflected, his thoughts deep and heavy.

On one hand, he had to oppose the planners of the Apocalypse Game; on the other hand, he also had to ensure that the planners wouldn't be fully provoked.

[Fool] had not yet been completely angered, which was why it hadn't used its most powerful abilities. However, once [Fool] was truly enraged, it could very well unleash its immense power to erase any remaining hope in the real world.

Although such an action would significantly affect [Fool] itself, [Fool] was not a being governed by complete reason.

[World] dared not place the survival of the human world in the hands of such an evil deity, no matter how logical it seemed.

As [World] spoke, a look of helplessness spread across his face.

Class change goddess Janna could roughly understand why [World] would wear such an expression. She sighed deeply.

"It seems that all of us are destined to face an immense crisis. All we can do is ensure our own safety. If Jeremy can't use his own strength to uncover more clues, we will all fall into an irredeemable situation. I just hope that Jeremy's actions will succeed. I hope that in the end, we won't have made all our efforts in vain," Janna said, her tone filled with deep despondency.

She hadn't expected that despite all the effort she and the others had put into fighting against the planners of the Apocalypse Game, they still couldn't find a way to succeed.

[World] didn't speak. He simply turned his gaze toward the distance.

In the distance, there was an expanse of chaos, filled with all sorts of conflicting forces. The power represented by the planners of the Apocalypse Game mixed together, forming an unfathomable darkness. Anyone who saw this endless blackness would feel a deep, soul-shattering fear.

[World] had already witnessed such darkness, and only he had the ability to continue fighting against the powerful planners of the Apocalypse Game.

"Don't be so pessimistic! Our actions have already made significant progress. At least we've temporarily caused two of the Apocalypse Game planners to fall. While they can seek resurrection, it will take them a long time. As long as we remain united, we will eventually make the strongest planners of the Apocalypse Game pay the price. Then we can finally end this disaster."

Although [World]'s voice was soft, his tone was resolute and firm.

Class change goddess Janna slowly nodded, seemingly convinced by his words.

The two of them decided to continue their efforts to fight against the planners of the Apocalypse Game.
