Chapter 852 God!
Here, the starry sky was shattered, and beneath the fragments, Li You saw a vast expanse of white light.

The light was gentle yet omnipresent, instantly covering Li You's entire field of vision.

In the boundless white expanse, even Li You in his current state was somewhat disoriented, unsure of where to go to return to the real world.

"...'The return of the gods requires the king's guidance,' so that's what it means."

Li You recalled a phrase he had seen in the Shadowlands, which might refer to the current situation.

However, this only applies to those who become gods through the original Gate of God. Li You can now find his own way back to reality.

An invisible force enveloped him, and after a brief moment of sensing, Li You discovered the direction he should take.

Just as he was about to fly over there, he suddenly sensed a very familiar aura emerging in this space. It was a powerful consciousness, carrying undeniable divine might.

At the same time, a similar but very faint consciousness appeared beside him, as if responding to the other's call.

This made Li You immediately stop what he was doing. After a moment's pause, he made contact with that side.

Upon contact with that overwhelming consciousness, Li You immediately felt his consciousness being dragged into a relatively independent small space.

He was very familiar with everything here, because he had been here more than once or twice before.

But this time is different from the past. Now, if he wants, he can easily leave this space, and even harm the space's owner.

Li You now understands the essence of this space. It is actually an independent space created by a powerful god using his divine consciousness, similar to the ability that Qian Er showed to Li You before, only much more powerful.

Using this ability to drag mortal beings into it wouldn't pose any threat. However, pulling another god into one's own divine consciousness realm is tantamount to voluntarily exposing one's back to someone else.

Therefore, from this point alone, it can be seen that the visitor truly had no hostility towards Li You.

Of course, Li You never doubted that this person would be detrimental to him. After all, he had received this person's care and help since before he even reached the demigod level.

—This is the divine consciousness domain of the nameless king.

Upon entering the realm, what Li You saw this time was completely different from what he had seen before.

When Li You first encountered the consciousness of the Nameless King in the realm of divine sense, all he could see was a huge, blurry figure radiating an unbearable aura of power.

At that time, his power was too weak to even look directly at the true face of a powerful god who possessed the ability to traverse worlds.

Now, the Nameless King's consciousness is still enormous, but Li You's size has increased many times over. Although he is still no match for the Nameless King in front of him, the gap between them has narrowed from the level of an ant and a human to that of a child and an adult.

At the same time, although the nameless king was still radiating divine light, Li You could now see his face clearly.

His attire was not much different from the nameless mummified corpse he had seen at the Ancient Dragon Peak, only not as tattered. A golden crown held back his long, spiky gray hair, and half of his face was covered by dark gold cloth wrapped around his armor, revealing only the upper half of his chiseled face and a pair of dark gold pupils.

Beside Li You, Gwyndolin's figure also appeared.

This person has been following Li You all along, but was unable to appear when Li You was performing his own rituals.

Gwyndolin was momentarily lost in thought as he stared at the consciousness of the nameless king before him.

Li You also looked at the nameless king and said to him, "It's been a long time."

Wuming nodded slowly to him, still without speaking, but instead conveyed a thought to him.

Simply put, Wuming congratulated Li You on finally overcoming that hurdle.

In the past, He only saw Li You's potential and the apparent connection between him and Gwyndolin's fate, so He gave him some help.

But even He didn't expect that there would be a day when He would have a dialogue with Li Youping and others.

At the same time, he also told Li You the purpose of his visit.

The ability to transmit countless messages in a single thought is a simple and efficient form of communication, which Li You has now naturally mastered.

Simply put, the Nameless King sensed the aura of Li You crossing the Gate of Gods this time, so he specifically sought him out.

Because he had been keeping a close eye on Li You's movements, the Nameless King sensed something the moment Li You completed the ritual and simultaneously realized that Gwyndolin had awakened.

Furthermore, because the power He had helped Li You obtain in the past had now become an integral part of Li You's divine power foundation, He and Li You were naturally connected.

For a god of His caliber, even the closest ally is no more than this.

For all these reasons, the Nameless King found Li You immediately.

Of course, Wuming was also well aware that Li You was hiding many secrets that were unknown even to Him, but He did not intend to delve into them.

He came without reservation, imparting all the necessary experience he had accumulated over countless years since becoming a god of his current level to Li You.

Once one's power level reaches a certain point, knowledge becomes the most precious thing, a fact that Li You is increasingly aware of.

Both Tyr before and Nameless now have been imparting their most precious knowledge as gods to Li You. This alone is enough to save Li You from taking many detours.

Li You was not an ungrateful person, and naturally expressed his sincere gratitude to the Nameless King. At the same time, he did not hesitate to ask if there was anything the Nameless King could do for him, assuring him that he would not refuse anything within his power.

However, Wuming told him through the transmitted consciousness that He did not want Li You to do anything, and He was not helping Li You for a specific purpose.

If we really have to say, Li You had already done the only thing He needed to do before He became a god—that was to awaken Gwyndolin.

Besides that, if the Nameless King had any hope, it was that he wanted Li You to return to the world of Dark Souls if he had the ability in the future, and try to change that cycle of despair.

Although the Nameless King became such a powerful deity, even possessing divine power that spanned countless worlds, he was unable to return to the world in which he was born in his true form.

The underlying principles are quite complex, but the only influence He could exert on that world was to create the semi-illusory Ancient Dragon Peak.

However, Li You possesses an ability that Wuming lacks: he can freely travel between different worlds. Therefore, Wuming hopes that Li You will be able to return to the world of Dark Souls in the future and save that world from despair.

However, this was not a nameless request, because He did not know whether Li You had the ability; it was merely a small hope.

But Li You agreed without hesitation. After all, he had a friend trapped in the furnace of the Primordial Flame, and Li You was determined to rescue him later.

With that, the Nameless King and Li You's conversation came to an end. After that, His consciousness communicated with Gwyndolin, and the two brothers talked for quite a while.

Afterwards, the nameless king bid farewell to Li You and wished him a smooth journey.

To Li You's surprise, Gwyndolin stayed behind instead of leaving with the Nameless King. Looking at Gwyndolin's remnant soul returning to his side, Li You asked him about it. Gwyndolin told him that his soul was incomplete, had lost its anchor, and lacked the reserves of divine power to accompany the Nameless King across countless worlds.

Moreover, He wanted to stay by Li You's side for a while longer, and He also wanted to see Li You's disciple, who had accepted His teachings, again.

“Inheritance…that makes sense.” Li You thought for a moment. “After all, you gave her your Darkmoon Staff.”

Li You naturally wouldn't refuse Gwyndolin's request. After all, maintaining Gwyndolin's soul was a piece of cake for him now.

Then, the Nameless King's domain receded, and Gwyndolin's remnant soul transformed into a pale blue speck of light, following Li You. Li You then flew towards the "Gate of Gods."

On the way, he also asked Gwyndolin some other questions, namely the obstacles he encountered while traversing the path of the gods.

Li You was indeed very curious: were these fixed procedures for becoming a god, or did they vary based on each individual?

Although Gwyndolin had not appeared before, he had indeed been following Li You the whole time and had seen the entire process of Li You crossing that road.

He did not reveal His true form at this time, but He still told Li You that the obstacles encountered in the ritual of becoming a god would indeed vary depending on each executor. However, the illusions that Li You saw were actually a relatively common type.

Past experiences are the root of what makes a person who they are today. Therefore, past enemies, past regrets, and beautiful fantasies are indeed common obstacles for those who aspire to godhood.

But Gwynne also said that these things are not really "tests," but merely byproducts on the path to godhood.

It's just that Li You has had an exceptionally rich life experience, which is why those illusions are so powerful.

Li You understood.

Without further ado, Li You found the entrance he had entered through in the vast white space. He protected Gwyndolin's remnant soul, then mobilized his divine power and easily passed through the gate.

After a dazzling display of light, Li You returned to the Hall of Heroes.

By sensing the magic flowing through the air, Li You immediately determined that he was still on the top floor of the Hall of Heroes. However, the scene here had changed.

It is no longer the Gate of God and the plaza in front of it. It has been restored to its original appearance inside Valhalla—a large circular plaza surrounded by tall stone pillars.

The place Li You walked out of was no longer the Gate of God, but the door that Kratos pushed open after defeating Tyr in the game, revealing the Throne of War.

At this moment, Tyr and Kratos were standing in the square, watching Li You walk out of the gate.

Kratos raised an eyebrow at the mere sense of his presence, and Leviathan's Axe and Chaos Blade resonated simultaneously.

Tyr's eyes gleamed with golden light as he laughed, "It seems you've succeeded. Congratulations."

Li You nodded. He had passed through the Gate of God, completed his ritual, and was now a true god.

Furthermore, because the ceremony took place outside the Nine Realms, and not even within the Hall of Heroes, his divine power was not bound to this land.

Based on Li You's perception of his abilities, he was still able to freely travel between different worlds, and his divine power would not be affected.

This is the best possible outcome.

Just as Li You was about to respond to Tyr and Kratos, he heard the system notifications ringing in his ears one after another!

The series of prompts and reward distributions left Li You somewhat dizzy.

Only after all that did a crucial message pop up.
