The Growth of a God

Chapter 31: The Secret Meeting of the Faceless (New Book, Please Support!)
I did not get in touch with the "Faceless Man" immediately.

After returning home, Li Hao first began to study the "Civilization Game" itself.

To his surprise, he discovered that there wasn't really any right way to play Civilization.

After all, this is just a set of rules disguised as a "game", a place to facilitate communication and transactions among the gods.

After creating the initial character, Li Hao can post any information he wants in the special interface which he temporarily named [Official Lobby].

Transactions, commissions, searching for people, revenge...

Any release information you can think of can be found in this [Official Hall].

The only function of this [Official Hall] is to confirm the authenticity of the published information and to assist both parties in completing transactions and entrustment.

Li Hao once tentatively clicked on an information interface titled [Seeking the "Glorious Godhead" with a large sum of money, accepting any form of transaction! ]

Then the system judged me as "not qualified to complete this transaction" and I had to withdraw in disappointment.

After trying several times, Li Hao helplessly found that he could only open those chat interfaces that did not involve transactions.

Before I knew whether it was because of the special nature of the Earth I was on, or because I was so poor...

Li Hao decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to try.

Instead, he clicked on the special golden exclamation mark that appeared because he had received the message from the "Faceless Man".

According to Li Hao's understanding of the game, this golden exclamation mark should have a similar function to the [Official Lobby].

The only difference is that the [Official Lobby] is the official body of the Civilization game, while the golden exclamation mark is more like a plug-in and MOD made by other gods.

Of course, with the automatic translation of the Civilization game, this golden question mark also has a name that is very consistent with Li Hao’s habits - [Secret Meeting of the Faceless Men].

......................................................................................................

"That's quite interesting..."

Different from the simple template of the [Official Hall].

After Li Hao clicked on [Secret Meeting of the Faceless Men], the entire game interface suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.

By the time Li Hao came to his senses, his game character, "Hua Snake", had appeared in an infinitely vast space that seemed to be constructed by stars and light.

And next to the "transformed snake", a small snake with wings also appeared out of thin air.

"It is a pleasure to serve you, Your Majesty the Great Undead Snake God!"

After being stunned for a while, Li Hao realized that the little snake with wings was the Faceless Man.

Or to be more precise, it is the Faceless Man who appears in the most familiar image of "Snake".

"Are you a god too?"

Communicate with the Faceless Man on the screen directly through your phone.

This is a function that Li Hao discovered by chance when browsing those chat interfaces.

Through the transformation of the auxiliary elf, the language, voice and accent currently used by Li Hao are completely different from the original body.

From this perspective, Father Hathor's thoughts are quite comprehensive, and he has basically eliminated the possibility of gods becoming enemies and then being hunted offline.

"My Lord is the true God!"

"We, the Faceless Ones, are just the lucky ones who have become the incarnation of our Lord."

Gently flapping his wings, the Faceless Man replied in a respectful tone.

"After all, the 'Confession of the Faceless' belongs to the realm of God. Beings below the level of God cannot enter it at all."

Li Hao couldn't help but blink his eyes. He finally understood the Faceless Man's roundabout explanation.

Whether or not you can click on the golden exclamation mark is also a form of identity recognition. Only true gods can enter the [Secret Meeting of the Faceless Ones].

Of course, although the Faceless Man said that he was given the status of "God" only to facilitate his actions in the [Secret Meeting of the Faceless Man].

But Li Hao would not take the other party's words seriously.

——A "messenger" who travels among the gods, a powerful god who seems to enjoy role-playing.

This is Li Hao’s definition of “Faceless Man”.

"Well, as you can see, I'm just a new god who has just started playing the game 'Civilization'."

Ignoring the Faceless Man's expression of disbelief, Li Hao continued speaking to himself.

"So I would like to first understand the current status of this game..."

"For example, the most basic division between 'gods', 'apostles' and 'mortals'?"

According to what Li Hao learned from Huashe, the original civilization game was a platform for communication between gods, and this kind of level division did not exist at all.

When visiting the [Official Hall] before, Li Hao also noticed that many of the information publishers were mortals.

This obviously violated the rules set by Father Hathor at the beginning.

This is like a game update. What Li Hao learned from Huashe was only the initial version of the "Civilization Game".

The current "Civilization Game" has been updated for countless generations and is no longer the same as the original version.

"Your Majesty, the great Serpent God, you are too modest."

"If you are all 'new gods', then there are no gods in this world worthy of the word 'ancient'."

The Faceless Man was telling the truth, because what he felt from the current "transformed snake" was only the antiquity and immeasurability that transcended time.

The knowledgeable Faceless Man was almost certain that the snake god before him must be an ancient god born eternity ago.

As for why the other party was identified as a "weak god" by the system?
There are many reasons that lead to this possibility.

Rebirth through borrowing a body, reincarnation as a god, and even deliberate disguise are all possible.

Apart from anything else, the Faceless Man himself is a god who likes to create a “small account”.

Anyone who truly regards His revealed incarnation as His entire background is a true fool.

"Uh……"

After the Faceless Man’s reminder.

Li Hao just realized that he seemed to have exposed some personal information unknowingly.

Regardless of whether the ancient aura sensed by the Faceless Man came from Zhulong or the ancient god identity of the snake itself, it meant that the other party was indeed not as harmless as he appeared.

"When I chose to step into this place, the distinction between 'new gods' and 'old gods' no longer had any meaning."

Without any explanation or refutation, Li Hao simply skipped over the topic lightly.

"That's natural!"

The Faceless Man was obviously stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Perhaps this ancient snake god in front of us has not been in contact with the "real world" for a long time?

It's not just that he is no longer familiar with the "Civilization Game", he may even have lost his own family?
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the other party would avoid talking about his or her identity.

After all, it is a very shameful thing for most gods that even the race they favor no longer believes in them.
