Chapter 753
I was likely already blacklisted by all kings, nobles, and tribe leaders since I would only bring them bad news and prophecies about disaster every time I spoke up .
Anyone who tried to counter my words or scorned me would always be proven by time and reality that they were the foolish ones .
My Holy War prophecy, my Undead Calamity prophecy, my prophecy about the elves meeting the first demon wave… Well, perhaps it was rather strange to describe what I said as prophecies as I had simply analyzed the information I had and notified others so that they could make earlier preparations .
But sometimes, people would really hate to hear the truth . There were people who would angrily reject others' words, but this wasn't always because of their own personal opinion . Sometimes, it would simply be due to loathing the person who spoke, or because the "prophecy" had shattered their own expectations or affected their benefits .
Thus, the majority of real prophets would only be able to choose between the gallows or being burned on a cross .
Although it was likely that people would regret they hadn't listened to the prophet afterwards, and people might even make someone take responsibility for killing the prophet, what meaning would there be in it since the prophet was dead already and the calamity had come true?
Actually, being able to give a warning by providing information beforehand was already the limit of what I could do as an individual . I felt that I was doing quite good already . I couldn't be expected to fight to the end against nation-level or world-level calamities by myself .
Gathering information and planting seeds was my normal way of doing things . I would publicize information when it was necessary . I would also scam or fool others into doing what I wanted . That was also normal .
In a way, I was quite lucky .
Although my reputation was quite terrible since I was Emperor Yongye, a prophecy from a famous villain would still have more weight to it than a prophecy from someone unknown .
I had given many prophecies in the past, always about misfortune . At first, people had laughed at me in disbelief . Afterwards, they only half doubted . Now, I was referred to as a "damned jinxer", and people would say "let's hear who's the unlucky one this time" .
My hard work hadn't gone to waste . Maybe my information support didn't seem very important to others, but only I knew just how much had already changed as I knew the game's history .
My warning about the Holy War and the Chaos Abyss had managed to prevent the human kingdoms from acting against each other . The game's history had a catastrophic human internal war that never occurred here .
Due to my guidance as well as coincidence, the Underground's invasion had never occurred, either . The entire Order Faction didn't suffer severe losses before the Holy War even started . This was a much better situation than in the game's history .
And as the Holy War progressed, more and more powerful enemies appeared, making the future seem murky . The leaders of various countries all remembered my previous prophecies .
Maybe the countries' leaders really disliked me, but at least they would listen to what I had to say .
Bardi, the Mist Alliance, Auland, the wood spirits, and the Mage Country . All the leaders of these major countries and factions would give their recognition to the veracity of my prophecy . This would make Karwenz and his allies into public enemy #1 for the entire world .
Benefits would cause war . War was also for the sake of benefits . But, what benefits could possibly be gained from joining Karwenz's side?
Karwenz wanted to shatter the dimensional barrier . That would make the sealed off Eich universe's Cycle of Reincarnation and Holy War completely meaningless . The future for every single living being would become uncertain . Maybe this sounded nice, but it was well known that Eich had almost been destroyed by dimensional invaders from other universes at the beginning of Eich's history . Stories and fairy tales of such things still persisted even today . While such stories didn't mention what existed out there in other universes, they all mentioned the highly dangerous dimensional invaders who would try to destroy the world .
Logic and knowledge were the most basic weapons of any mage . The mages found no meaning in even trying to play devil's advocate to support destroying the dimensional barrier .
It was easy enough to hypothesize what was waiting for us in other universes .
The most likely answer was that things were the same as Eich's immemorial generation, that ravenous existences were waiting to feast on this world .
In that case, the entire mortal plane would suffer a tremendous calamity . As long as people managed to survive, Eich's natural cycle due to being sealed off would be shattered, and Eich's dimensions would become connected to the countless other dimensions and universes out there . This would be a good thing for the world of Eich . The sealed path of evolution would become reactivated, while science, magic, and civilization would all develop at an explosive rate .
If people didn't manage to survive… well, it would likely be similar to Chaos Abyss levels which were dominated by demons . There would probably still be some survivors regardless, but what would the world be like? Would the surviving people be slaves or food? That would all be unknown .
But, no matter if Eich survived or not, ordinary humans who had no powers would likely suffer the most losses of all . Shattering the dimensional barrier would result in a natural cycle where the strong preyed on the weak . The most obvious result was that weak humans would be eliminated . I had no idea how many people would die, but those who died in the largest numbers would definitely be those who had no power and status to protect themselves .
Of course, it was also possible that the other universes' ravenous existences had already left, and that there was nothing waiting beyond the dimensional barrier at all . That would mean that Karwenz had wasted his time and effort in trying to shatter the dimensional barrier .
The dimensional barrier had been created by the combined power of the Goddesses of Order and Chaos . Theoretically speaking, no living being from Eich should have possibly been able to exit the Eich universe… Don't ask me how Beifeng managed to leave, as he had already accomplished countless unimaginable things already .
Still, my unreliable System informed me that she had created the dimensional barrier primarily to defend from outside threats, so leaving was highly difficult yet still possible, but reentry would be absolutely impossible .
