Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Li Qianyi stroked the pocket watch on his chest.

Grisha Adam, the ancient sun god and creator of the Silver City, is a contradictory yet uniquely charismatic character.

He perished in the final battle of the Ring of Fate due to the resurgence of God's consciousness, leaving only his spiritual imprint.

"So here's the question: is this young Adam related to Grisha Adam?"

Is it some kind of clone relationship, a backup plan after resurrection, or is it just an existence with the same name?

"It's hard to say."

Li Qianyi frowned. "The game's background differs from the real mysterious world, but characters like Amon, the Fool Klein, and the Eternal Darkness Amanisis are real."

"Then it's not impossible that the fallen Adam was reborn in some form."

"All three choices will lower the favorability of the corresponding character. I still need to find Jack Belmont to enter the library, so lowering his favorability is definitely not an option."

Li Qianyi discovered that he only had option C left.

For unknown reasons, you plan to help the blond boy escape, but you don't want to damage your friendship with Jack Belmont.

[So you vividly demonstrated how you tripped over your own feet and fell to the ground.]

The blond boy got his chance and squeezed into the crowd, thwarting the sheriffs' pursuit.

You indirectly helped Adam escape capture.

Adam's favorability towards you has increased by 15. Current favorability: 15 (Neutral)

Lady Eleanor's favorability towards you has decreased by 25. Current favorability: -25 (dislike)

"Are you targeting me by deducting so much?"

Li Qianyi was astonished.

The sheriffs were somewhat frustrated that they had lost track of Adam.

Jack Belmont, seeing your miserable state, was speechless and somewhat helpless.

Clearly, he believed your less-than-stellar acting; perhaps appointing him as sheriff of Anning Town was a mistake.

"It's fine if you're going to mock me, but to also mock game characters? Isn't that a bit much?"

Li Qianyi couldn't help but think.

[Due to your somewhat effective performance, you have gained the talent: Low-level Performance Talent (Gray)]

[Low-level acting talent (gray): You are good at using your acting to cover up your true intentions, but this does not mean that you have mastered the art of acting. This talent can make you more compatible with certain potions.]

"It feels like we've gained another useless talent, but it's actually quite suitable for a career as a fortune teller or actor."

Li Qianyi continued playing the game.

[Jack Belmont helps you up and tells you that the blond boy's name is Adam, the eldest son of Lady Eleanor, and the chosen one for the Anning Town Holy Child's Birthday Celebration.]

Adam strongly resisted the role of the Son of God, and therefore ran away from the ritual rehearsal.

Lady Eleanor had no choice but to entrust them with taking him back.

He asked you if you had encountered any trouble and if you needed any help.

This is exactly what you wanted to say to him; you do have something to say to him.

Please enter text.

"Could you take me into the library of the Basilica of Our Lady of Faith? I'd like to borrow a book."

Press Enter.

You told Jack Belmont your request, and he readily agreed, telling you that he had a good relationship with the nuns in the library.

He then sent the other two sheriffs to continue pursuing Adam, while he led you to the church library.

[After meeting Jack Belmont, the nun miraculously didn't stop you.]

You easily entered the library with Jack Belmont.

Clearly, there are no absolute rules in the library; it's just that the differences between people are sometimes greater than the differences between people and dogs.

"Who are you indirectly criticizing with this copywriting?"

Li Qianyi almost laughed out of anger.

"But Jack, you look honest and kind with your thick eyebrows and big eyes. Don't tell me you're having an affair with the nun, are you?"

The library was somewhat dimly lit, with the flickering light of ever-burning candles illuminating the crisscrossing shadows cast by the bronze shelves.

Although you've entered the library, you quickly realize a crucial point: there are simply too many books in the library, making finding "The Ideal Garden of Eden" akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

So, what do you, a clever and wise person who has lost their homeland, want to do?

Option A: Just look around, maybe good luck will come your way.

[Option B: Seek help from Jack Belmont]

[Option C: Seek help from the nun of silence]

[Choose D: Enter text. What kind of unconventional things might a lost soul from a land forsaken by God do?]

There is no single right answer to this choice.

Li Qianyi pondered.

"The nun is probably the most familiar with the library, but she only let me in because of Jack, so she probably won't agree to help me find the books right away."

"Jack is a sheriff, not a librarian, so getting him to help find a book is practically the same as relying on luck."

"It seems like asking those two to help would just be a waste of exploration resources."

"But isn't relying solely on luck, which is nothing but absurdity, a bit outrageous?"

"Wait, I don't know if that's okay..."

Li Qianyi pondered for a moment, entered the text in option D, and then pressed Enter.

Soon, new text information appeared on the screen.

[You have a sudden inspiration, and as you walk, you silently repeat to yourself:]

[A fool who doesn't belong to this era, a mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the king of yellow and black who wields good fortune! You pray for guidance from him to help you find the "ideal Eden."]

[Nobody knows where you got this prayer pointing to an evil god, but it certainly worked.]

[You have attracted the gaze of the Lord of Mysteries, and you have gained the temporary buff 'Gaze of the Beacon of Fate'.]

"It actually worked! Holy crap, 'Beacon of Fate's Gaze'!"

Li Qianyi clicked on the corresponding entry.

[The gaze of destiny's beacon: Your luck will skyrocket within one hour, so seize the moment and do what you need to do!]

"Awesome."

No words could express Li Qianyi's feelings, and he continued playing the game.

You seem to have been favored by fate, even though you have never read "The Ideal Garden of Eden," and even though this is your first time visiting this library.

You quickly found a thick book in a corner of a bookshelf.

The long-forgotten cover bore the words "The Ideal Garden of Eden."

You have achieved your goal.

"OK, that solves everything."

Li Qianyi clenched his fist.

But the next moment, the entire screen of the phone suddenly flashed an eerie red.

One by one, blood-red characters appeared.

[What the hell is this? These audacious exiles are actually praying to the great evil god "Lord of Mysteries" in the church of "Primordial God"! This is blasphemy, blasphemy against the god of gods, "Primordial God"!]

"Why does this feel a bit like a struggle of impotent rage?"

Li Qianyi felt that the copywriter's reaction was a bit too intense.

[You have performed a direct blasphemy against the 'Primordial God', and you have gained Blasphemy Power*10]

[Warning: You have violated a divine commandment by gaining more than 10 points of blasphemy power in one go.]

The Lost One, "Great Wisdom" (Sequence 9 - The Reader), has decided to challenge you to a sacred duel.

[A Sacred Duel from the 'Great Wisdom']

[Duel Type: Mystic Knowledge Competition]

Collateral: 5 points of sanity and 5 points of health for both parties, and 20 points of divine faith.

[Game Rules: The lost soul 'Dongjun' must complete one occult question given by 'Da Congming' within 60 seconds. If 'Dongjun' answers incorrectly, 'Dongjun' will lose 5 health points, 5 sanity points, and 20 Divine Faith points will be given to 'Da Congming'. If 'Dongjun' answers correctly, 'Da Congming' will lose 5 health points, 5 sanity points, and 20 Divine Faith points will be given to 'Dongjun'.]

Because you have violated divine commandments, you cannot refuse this sacred duel.
