Chapter 441: Identity: Hidden Guardian Of The Forbidden Zone

’Otherwise, with my luck as a Half-Step Primordial Human and the XX-rank All Stars Aligned innate talent, the places around me should have already been filled with valuable resources.’

’Not only that, but Jade beside me also possessed as much luck as I have, so it seems that the World Will has consciously chosen to prevent our great luck from affecting the allocation of monsters and resources.’

While thinking of this, it wasn’t that Zayne didn’t have the thought of snatching those resources while the World Update was still ongoing.

However, when such a thought popped up in his mind, a Hint Prompt suddenly appeared, which halted his actions.

{Hint Prompt: If you were to make a move during the World Update, the World Will of Terra will retaliate. The World Will’s power rank in the Perpetual Darkness World is at Peak Divine rank. Although you and Jade can defeat it, it will be more trouble than it’s worth.}

{Hint Prompt: If you want to acquire resources, it’s suggested to make a move after the World Update has been completed. The World Will is more sensitive during the World Update and will not accept any interference due to issues of the World Update going wrong.}

Reading those hint prompts, Zayne honestly remained with Jade and didn’t make any move.

Anyway, as the Hint Prompt had mentioned, he could make a move after the World Update had ended. There was no benefit in offending the World Will at this time, especially when he didn’t have to take advantage of the time frame within the World Update.

With this current power, he could easily acquire those resources even after the World Update had ended. At that time, the World Will would have no reason to retaliate against him.

Only those Terran Survivors would confront him to fight for those resources. But if they were to learn of his identity as the Sovereignty of Order, they would steer clear of him, in fear of getting on his bad side.

...

As time passed, a second flew by, and the World Update had finally ended.

Every Terran opened their eyes and discovered that the world had completely changed. No matter how they looked, there wasn’t anything related to the Zombie Apocalypse World.

Even the resources they hadn’t stored within their item inventory, like the Zombie Crystals, had been changed into a random resource that was unique to this world.

The resource it was changed into was dependent on the quality of the Zombie Apocalypse World’s resource that they possessed. Of course, the items that were placed within their item inventory had remained unaffected.

After the World Update was completed, it already marked the First Day of Perpetual Darkness!

Those who had died were indeed resurrected. Both Zayne and Jade had confirmed that.

Although they weren’t that familiar with the people they’d killed or those that they’d witnessed die, their Perfect Memory bloodline ability still allowed them to recall it with perfect clarity.

With just a simple usage of XX-rank World Radar, they could locate and track those people and determine that they had indeed been resurrected.

Zayne even used Hint Prompt on one of them, receiving feedback from his simulation talent.

{Hint Prompt: While this person had died in the previous Monthly Apocalypse World Update Theme, the World Rules had allowed him to be resurrected and given another chance at life. However, his memories from the second day up to the last day of the Zombie Apocalypse have been completely erased.}

{Hint Prompt: If you were to make use of your Boundary Supremacy’s Boundary of Memory to make him recall the memories that had been erased from him, it’s possible. After all, it is within World Rules to recover the erased memories from previous Monthly Apocalypse World Updates.}

When he received the second hint prompt, Zayne was undoubtedly taken aback, causing him to use the hint prompt again.

{Hint Prompt: The World Will doesn’t prohibit the recovery of erased memories, even if it’s something as crucial as the memories from previous World Updates. In fact, there are even rewards, special items, etc., that can allow a survivor to regain memories from previous World Updates.}

In other words, Zayne might not possess those special items or a reward from the World Will, but he himself was an existence capable of achieving what those items or the World Will could.

Since it wasn’t against the World Rules, then Zayne actually no longer had to worry about Henry, Alan, and the others. The World Update ensured that they wouldn’t die.

So, if they ever died, he merely had to wait for the next world update and intervene by letting them recover the memories that were erased from them. But with how capable they were, he didn’t have to worry about them dying that easily.

After confirming that from his hint prompt, Zayne was about to chat with Jade, but he and the rest of the Terrans were interrupted by a world announcement.

-Ding!
