This wasn't a lie from Lin Ruo. Although understanding the essence of the apocalypse was mainly limited to the Angel level, as only beings at that level could know about the cosmos and Outer Gods without being corrupted, many high-sequence individuals were aware of the impending doom.

This was already proven in the original work.

To protect one's relatives and friends in the apocalypse as depicted in the original work, one indeed needed to be at least at the True God level. Otherwise, Emperor Roselle wouldn't have needed to desperately improve himself. In fact, Lin Ruo's description of the apocalyptic crisis was understated, as even Angels might not be able to protect themselves in the apocalypse.

Kings of Angels like Amon might be able to survive among the Outer Gods, but ordinary Sequence Two individuals might not survive.

The difference in combat power between the enemy and ourselves was too great. Otherwise, why would the big shots be waiting for a Lord of the Mysteries to save the day!

"So, the apocalypse is really coming, and in just a short ten years…" Seeing Lin Ruo's attitude, Klein couldn't help but realize that what he said was true, and his heart tightened.

Although he hadn't transmigrated for long, and although he still yearned to go home, Klein was actually very satisfied with his current life and his current family and friends. The thought that all of this might be shattered in just over a decade, the thought that Melissa and Benson, as well as the captain and Leonard, and other friends, might die in the apocalyptic calamity in just over a decade, Klein almost subconsciously clenched his fist and asked, "What exactly is the Apocalypse?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you. That's not knowledge you can know now. If you want to understand it, you need to at least have the position of an Angel," Lin Ruo shook his head and said.

Even understanding it requires being an Angel… Klein's breathing stagnated. Although he still didn't know what the apocalyptic calamity was, through this restriction, he vaguely understood that it was definitely not something that could be easily solved. It was very likely that, as the word 'apocalypse' described, it was the destruction of the entire world.

Thinking of what Lin Ruo had just said, that only True Gods could protect the people he wanted to protect, and that even Angels could only barely protect themselves, Klein suddenly thought of the current Seven Gods. After considering it, he said, "The Seven Gods…"

"Don't count on the Seven Gods. They… will be lucky to protect themselves by then. But you can't blame them. They've already done their best." Thinking of the Seven Gods, who could almost be said to be fighting on the front lines, truly guarding the borders and protecting the world, Lin Ruo sighed and said:

"In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves… Do you think I wouldn't be anxious to help you grow under these circumstances?"

"If you're not in a hurry in the next ten years, do you think you can become an Angel?"

"Or do you expect me to become a True God to protect you?"

Saying this, Lin Ruo smiled again and said, "If I could, I would like to become a True God, but unfortunately, you know my current state. It would be lucky to recover to the level of an Angel in the next ten years… Ascending to True God is too difficult and too far away."

This was completely a lie. However, Lin Ruo wasn't really sure whether he could reach the level of a True God. Leaving aside other things, the ritual required to advance to True God through the Red Priest pathway was enough to make his head spin and even instinctively reject it—unless it was really as he guessed, that his Truth or Fallacy could help him become immune to the ritual and directly drink the potion to advance. Otherwise, Lin Ruo felt that he might be more likely to give up advancing to Sequence 0.

He couldn't bring himself to launch a continent-wide war for his own selfish desires, bringing disaster to countless innocent people.

Compared to that result, Lin Ruo preferred to cultivate Klein into the Lord of the Mysteries. At that time, the apocalypse could be resolved smoothly, and he would have a Lord of the Mysteries as a student, which would allow him to walk sideways in this world—wouldn't that be happier than becoming a True God himself?

Not to mention, judging from the current clues, after his supernatural abilities are upgraded to the extreme in the future, he may not necessarily lack the combat power of a True God level.

Listening to Lin Ruo's words, Klein was silent for a long time, obviously digesting this huge amount of information. He finally exhaled and said:

"Becoming an Angel in the next ten years… You really have confidence in me."

He wasn't a newbie who didn't know anything about the extraordinary world anymore. How could he not know the difficulty of advancing to Angel? No wonder Lin Ruo was so anxious. Wanting to become an Angel in the next ten years, it would be strange if he wasn't anxious.

"Be confident. Maybe you'll become a True God in ten years, and then you'll be able to protect me!" Lin Ruo blinked and said jokingly, "Then I can retire with peace of mind."

"Get out! If becoming a True God was so easy, there would be True Gods everywhere, okay?" Klein obviously didn't believe his words, but after such a joke, his originally depressed mood improved a lot.

"That's hard to say…" Lin Ruo smiled meaningfully, but then changed the subject and said, "Actually, the reason why I developed Danitz into your believer was also to prepare you in advance for becoming an Angel in the future."

Klein immediately looked at him with doubt.

Lin Ruo, as a good teacher, then explained unhurriedly at this time: "High sequences are not so easy to be. After entering the high sequence, you need to start using your humanity to fight against your divinity. If your divinity overwhelms your humanity, then you will become a monster or a lunatic who disregards all living beings. Sequences 4 and 3 are still okay, basically relying on yourself, but after Angel, you need the existence of believers… Of course, the various reasons for this are very complicated to explain, so I won't go into details for now."

"In short, the existence of believers can help you consolidate your humanity, resist divinity, and resist madness. This is also the reason why the gods need to preach and need believers. Believers are anchors, even True Gods need such anchors to help them consolidate their humanity and resist madness."

Klein immediately widened his eyes, obviously not expecting to hear such explosive news.

Lin Ruo then continued: "So, in order to prevent you from being overwhelmed by divinity directly after you advance to Angel without even a single believer, I decided to help you develop a group of believers in advance. Danitz is the first, but he won't be the last."

"But… aren't you preparing a little too early? I'm only Sequence 8," Klein, who was still digesting the amount of information in Lin Ruo's words, held back for a long time, and finally could only complain.

"This is called being prepared for a rainy day. Who knows when you will advance to Angel, and it's rare that you have such good conditions, having opened a Fool's persona, it would be a pity not to use it," Lin Ruo said with confidence.

Klein didn't want to say anything anymore. He suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then Lin Ruo, do you have believers?"
