“What do you mean by the chosen one?”
Jiang Wang asked, puzzled.
“Of course, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In these ninety million worlds, legends share commonalities.”
“So you should have heard similar stories, right? Four horsemen in total, each representing something different.”
“Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death.”
“But in reality, there are different interpretations of the white horseman representing pestilence.”
The War Apostle continued, her gaze fixed on Jiang Wang.
That feeling of surprise resurfaced once more.
Jiang Wang was pretending before, but now, he was revealing his true self.
The War Apostle looked at him, and thus became even more curious.
“It can also be interpreted as ‘Conquest,’ right?”
Jiang Wang said. Besides being called Pestilence, the white horseman could also be called Conquest.
This seemed to be a difference in translation, or rather, a difference in understanding between different regions.
“That’s right. Therefore, within our Abyss Sect,”
“The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or rather, the Four Apostles, are actually five.”
“And the one representing Conquest died not long ago.”
The War Apostle said as she walked in front of Jiang Wang.
After transforming, her height became somewhat exaggerated, so she began to look down at Jiang Wang from above.
Jiang Wang frowned. He could feel her gaze and the power she was transmitting.
The grotesque faces also turned to focus on Jiang Wang.
The War Apostle’s body seemed to be gradually expanding, casting a huge shadow over Jiang Wang.
But Jiang Wang blinked and realized that she hadn’t done anything at all.
The so-called changes were just his own illusion.
Chapter 848: I Investigate Myself
“I think you are very likely the inheritor of the Conquest Apostle. You are the chosen one,”
The War Apostle said. Her power began to contract, and her dark form continuously changed.
Soon, she dispelled her transformed state and stood before Jiang Wang in her human form.
“Is that so? But I don’t think it’s very likely. I don’t have any special powers,”
Jiang Wang said, revealing a strange smile. He hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.
The Conquest Apostle died not long ago, but the related information hadn’t leaked out at all.
The Abyss Sect was a relatively closed organization, but he hadn’t expected it to be so closed off.
And Jiang Wang’s strange behavior was actually interpreted by the War Apostle as him possibly being the next Conquest Apostle.
“It’s just a possibility. You are indeed very special. You are completely different from those people.”
The War Apostle pointed into the distance at the crazy, demon-like people, who were subordinates belonging to the same organization.
“It still depends on your future growth. In any case, I have high hopes for you.”
The War Apostle reached out and patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder. Jiang Wang could feel the importance in her gaze.
He nodded, then his gaze fell on the group of Abyss believers.
The madness of these people was almost incomprehensible. They had a strange obsession with destruction and despair.
Before, they were like easy-going and reliable seniors in the company.
But now, they were just a group of unreasonable madmen.
Jiang Wang had expected all of this. It was very normal for these people to show this appearance.
Jiang Wang had no intention of integrating into it. Even if it was just acting, he didn’t want to do it.
And the War Apostle was the same as him, also had no intention of integrating into it.
Perhaps this kind of “weirdness” was precisely the commonality among the apostles.
Just like the Temple organization, each member could unhesitatingly sacrifice their own life to save others.
But the high-level Saintesses and Saints would not have this kind of impulsive feeling at all.
And the Abyss Sect was the same. Each ordinary member had no regrets even if they died for the sake of destruction.
But their high-level members, the apostles, would not be disturbed by this emotion.
“Say, are most of the apostles female?”
Jiang Wang walked forward and asked the War Apostle such a strange question.
“That’s right. Most of the apostles are female,”
She said, glancing at Jiang Wang.
She had thought that this guy was just a country bumpkin that Cinderella had found from some remote world.
But the question he asked had profound meaning.
“In the Temple organization, the Saintesses are also the leaders, and the Saints are chosen by them.”
“And the Abyss Sect, in this regard, is actually exactly the same as the Temple.”
“Don’t you think this is very interesting? But why is this?”
Jiang Wang asked, directly stating his question.
“It seems you know quite a bit about the Temple. It seems you’re being chased very badly by the Temple.”
The War Apostle looked at Jiang Wang, then straightened her back and puffed out her meager chest.
She hadn’t expected that things would be reversed in this place.
The Saintesses of the Temple were all overweight.
But the apostles of the Abyss Sect were as flat as steel plates.
In the War Apostle’s eyes, the newcomer in front of her had some understanding of the Temple.
But he had a strong Abyss power on him.
Therefore, there was no need to suspect anything. The people of the Temple wouldn’t just swagger in like this, right?
So, in the War Apostle’s mind, Jiang Wang was a person who had mastered the power of the Abyss and was therefore being hunted down by the Temple.
Having fought with the people of the Temple many times, he gradually learned the specific details of the Temple.
“No one can say for sure why this is.”
The War Apostle shook her head. She had not paid attention to the details in this regard.
If Jiang Wang hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have thought of these things.
She had never cared about it, so how could she have thought about the connection between them?
“Then, can you answer a question for me? What is the connection between the Joyful Ones and the Abyss Sect?”
Jiang Wang asked. This question seemed very abrupt, even somewhat inexplicable.
But the War Apostle looked deeply at Jiang Wang.
There were many evil organizations that everyone shouted to kill in these ninety million worlds.
But people didn’t really understand these organizations. They only knew that they were enemies, and knowing that was enough.
Jiang Wang wanted to know more, so he asked this crucial question.
“Newcomer, it seems you know a lot.”
She said, revealing a smile to Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang had been in contact with the people of the Joyful Ones before, so he had some understanding of them.
Today, he had in-depth contact with the people of the Abyss Sect. Although he only chatted for a few words, he was also familiar with them.
In this process, Jiang Wang saw some interesting things.
Seeing the world in front of him fall into chaos, the people of the Abyss Sect were all very happy.
And the same people who would be happy because of “destruction” and “chaos”.
That was the Joyful Ones.
So, Jiang Wang came to a very bold guess.
If the Temple and the Abyss Sect were mutually opposed organizations, but were incredibly similar to each other.
The Temple organization would separate out an Absolute Holy Light.
Then, why couldn’t the Abyss Sect separate out a Joyful Ones?
And if this reasoning could be constructed, then combined with the results Jiang Wang had researched before.
The Joyful Ones used degraded Abyss power, then the Absolute Holy Light used degraded Holy Light power.
“The Joyful Ones are an organization that separated from our Abyss Sect.”
“A very long time ago, thousands of years? Or tens of thousands of years?”
“There was a divergence in our respective philosophies, so we separated.”
The War Apostle said. It could be seen that the apostle in front of her, who was very young on the surface.
It was very likely that she was already very old. Old enough to be Jiang Wang’s grandmother and then some.
But it was also possible that, as the chosen apostle, she had inherited some important memories.
