Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 968 - 452: Rona’s Past, Human and God Limit_2

["Rona," hearing this, simply smiled and said, truly a messenger of the True God, always so steadfast and faithful... You think it’s a shameful deserter who has betrayed its oath?]

[Afterwards, "Rona" recounted to you the experiences of these past years...]

[Immersed completely in those past memories, it narrated to you, word by word, making you empathize deeply...]

[...]

[Twenty-five years after we parted, I went to the Imperial City alone to pursue advanced studies...]

[In a remote and isolated town, I was the most erudite scholar next to the chairman, but once I reached the Imperial City, according to the educational divisions of the Imperial City, I could barely qualify as an "elite scholar."]

[Above elite scholars are scholars, then come the learned scholars, secretaries, Chief Secretaries, up to Sages and Great Sages...]

[My scholarly talent is not bad, but that is in the remote and isolated Sofia; now in the Imperial City, I am just an ordinary Multivision scholar.]

[When I first arrived in the Imperial City, my time spent diligently studying was both wonderful and despair-inducing.]

[Wonderful because being immersed in the ocean of knowledge was mentally and physically pleasurable, giving a sense of fulfillment that was also one of the reasons for my coming here for advanced studies.]

[No one willingly wants to be a frog at the bottom of a well, seeing only a small patch of the sky; neither do I.]

[But what the Imperial City has in abundance are scholars of outstanding talent, compared to other more excellent scholars, my talent can only be described as mediocre.]

[Perhaps even if I spent a whole lifetime, I might not achieve the degree of "learned scholar."]

[During the time of my advanced studies in the Imperial City, there were no notable memories worth mentioning; compared to the thrilling experiences I shared with you, it can only be described as insipid.]

[I once promised you, "I believe separation is only temporary, under the arrangements of the Almighty True Knowledge, you and I will surely reunite."]

[But what if upon our reunion, you find that I, once erudite, have become the most mediocre and ignorant of scholars, then would I still be able to be a companion to the ’messenger of the True God’? Could I stand side by side with the ’messenger of the True God’ in battle once more?]

[My heart was not content, I studied more diligently, trying to enhance my own strength... But the reality was a mediocre talent, no matter how much I studied, I was still limited by that talent, becoming a plain scholar.]

[Recognizing my limitations, admitting my mediocrity, was undoubtedly a cruel and painful process since those who can become exalted Sages or Prophets are but a very few among countless scholars.]

[Most people must endure this painful experience, I, Rona, once had the fortune to fight alongside the ’messenger of the True God’, and now I too must be smoothed down and merge into the vast number of ordinary scholars like a water droplet.]

[The cruel reality forced me to lower my head...]

[The vision of reuniting with the ’messenger of the True God,’ that profound experience of fighting side by side, let it become a treasured memory hidden in my heart.] 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

[Perhaps years later, perhaps when my hair has turned gray with age, I can narrate this memorable life experience to my students, my descendants... before I die.]

[It was on the very night I finally came to terms with everything, when I had finally let go of my obsession, that I had a dream.]

[In that night’s dream, I became the most learned Great Prophet and was fortunate enough to meet you again, becoming your companion in battle.]

[We went through hardships and dangerous obstacles and finally defeated the resurgent Evil God of Stars, awakening the long-slumbering great beings and allowing the beautiful world to continue...]

[Thinking about it, it really is absurd, me with my mediocre talents becoming a Great Prophet, even a dream shouldn’t be so unrealistic.]

[Upon awakening, I faintly heard an old and kind voice...]

[That voice told me, my perseverance has moved the True God.]

[If I still hold onto that vision in my heart, then I must not give up, for one day the absurd dream will become reality, one day I will meet the ’messenger of the True God’ again.]

[In a daze, I saw an old man in a white robe with silver hair. He stood in a grand Temple built of pure white characters, his eyes full of kindness looking at me...]

[I suddenly woke up, for a scholar with a powerful spiritual force, not to mention the content of the dream being absurd, even dreaming itself is quite preposterous.]

[If a scholar cannot even control their dreams, how can they control powerful spiritual forces, how can they glean endless knowledge?]

[Once you become a scholar, you say goodbye to falling asleep and dreaming forever.]

[The only exception is the Great Prophet, only when scholars ascend to become Great Prophets can they step back into dreams through the method of prophetic vision.]

[I am just an ordinary scholar, yet I had such an absurdly preposterous dream...]

[What’s strange is, from that night on, the profound and complex knowledge in books suddenly became simple and clear.]

[Knowledge that previously took half a year just to get started, I needed only one day to learn completely, and moreover to integrate and understand it fully.]

[I was unspeakably joyful because I knew that in that night’s dream, I encountered the great God I had long believed in!]

[I was extremely excited because I knew the promise I made to you, it’s no longer just a memory to cherish deep down; it will surely come true!]
