Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 123 The Arrival of the Holy Son!

Nanjing University, dormitory.

Wang Kun and Lin Zicheng were playing a game when a message suddenly popped up on the screen:

You have a letter from afar. Will you open it?

"What is this?" Wang Kun was stunned for a moment.

The two opened the letter and discovered that it came from "the original God".

[This is a warm greeting from the game's official "Primordial God"]

[Due to the early arrival of the Chosen One, "God" will launch its open beta tomorrow. All players will receive a "Blooming Flowers and Full Moon" open beta event ticket and a special item, "Oak Fruit".]

【Ticket for Perfect Harvest】: With this ticket, you can enter the other world of "Great Mother" and participate in the public beta event "Perfect Harvest, Abundant Harvest".

[Claim or not?]

【Oak Fruit】(Green - Rare): A fruit imbued with life force; consuming it restores 2 points of health and 1 point of sanity.

[Claim or not?]

"This—" Lin Zicheng and Wang Kun exchanged a glance, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this thing related to the 'Great Mother'?" Wang Kun was a little confused. "And wasn't it supposed to be more than ten days before the public beta? How come it's been brought forward by so many days?"

Lin Zicheng pointed to the information on the screen, his brow furrowed: "Look at the first line; it says the 'Chosen One' has arrived ahead of schedule."

"So, is there a method to this?"

"Don't accept it yet." Lin Zicheng shook his head. "This is a gift from the Great Mother and the Primordial God. If I accept it rashly, who knows what kind of contamination I might encounter."

He paused, then asked, "Did only we get this, or did everyone get it?"

Wang Kun realized what was happening: "Check it online."

This investigation revealed a chaotic situation online.

Several trending topics were prominently displayed at the top of Weibo's headlines:

What is the origin of the game "God," and why can elements from it be applied to real life?

A new world: adventure or crisis?

Is the end of the world coming?

"Watch this live stream," Lin Zicheng suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, handing over his phone.

Wang Kun leaned closer and saw a young man in his early twenties on the screen, holding a ticket in his left hand and a piece of fruit in his right, his face full of surprise.

"Family members, I just received the rewards from the GM in the game 'God'," the young man said to the camera. "You probably can't believe it, but things from mobile games can actually come into reality."

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and the tickets and fruit in his hand disappeared into thin air and then reappeared.

The live chat exploded immediately.

"Is it photoshopped? Or is it AI technology?"

"If you don't believe me, download it and try it yourself and you'll see."

"I just downloaded 'God' too, and I really did get the reward in my email."

"Holy crap, what the streamer said seems to be true."

"Everyone can claim it in the game; it seems like everyone can claim it now."

The young man continued his livestream: "This ticket is currently unusable and will only be officially available after the game's public beta launches tomorrow. I'm starting to suspect that this game might originate from a relatively advanced civilization—"

Before he could finish speaking, the screen went black, and the live stream was banned, displaying an "unsearchable" message.

But such a blockade doesn't seem to be very effective.

Everyone in the world has received an email from "God." Many people online have already expressed their desire to form teams to explore it together.

"Any experienced players interested in teaming up to explore this game? My phone number is 1374758."

"Dragon Chaser" Recruitment Officially Begins —

Lin Zicheng looked at his phone, somewhat helplessly: "It feels like things are already in chaos."

This kind of thing can't be contained by official censorship alone, unless everyone's phones are confiscated and the world is turned back decades. Otherwise, the evil gods in "Paradise Lost" can interfere with reality at any time through any mobile phone.

"It must be that the 'Chosen One' descended prematurely, which triggered this series of changes."

As the two were talking, Tan Bin called.

"Hey, Captain."

"Did you receive the email?" Tan Bin's voice came through the receiver.

"received."

"This isn't something that can be solved with technology alone," Tan Bin said gravely. "I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Did you collect your tickets?"

"not yet."

"Don't claim it yet."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then Tan Bin continued, "Actually, it's not just about the game's public beta. Strange areas seem to be appearing all over the world, like Sanshui Village and Hetang Town. We suspect those places may have become borders connecting to that 'world.' So don't act rashly."

Tan Bin suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, where's Li Qianyi?"

"He said he was going home during the day, but he hasn't come back yet, and no one answers his phone."

"Then you two come to the station first."

Paradise Lost, a dark world, where the faint sound of surging tides seems to echo.

Li Qianyi followed behind Jack Belmont.

Above their heads, beams of light swayed and flickered, overlapping densely to form a vast, illusory sea.

This is the ocean of the collective unconscious.

They have left Anning Town and the dream of the Holy Relic, and now they need to use Jack's coordinates.

"Cross this ocean of collective unconsciousness to reach the true temple of sunset."

Just then, a stream of "water" suddenly surged up, and a blurry figure of light emerged from it.

The figure was dressed in a simple white robe, with a halo around its back and a time display disc beneath its feet.

A reflection of the ancient sun god?

Li Qianyi was stunned, but before he could react...

Next came a huge, illusory, grayish-white dragon, a phantom of the imaginary dragon "Angelweid" hidden in the ocean of the collective unconscious.

The moment they appeared, a frenzied, desperate emotion spread to Li Qianyi and Jack Belmont, like a contagious plague.

This is the ocean of the collective unconscious, a world of direct contact between spirit, consciousness, and mind!

Li Qianyi is now transformed into "The One Who Restores Time and Space - Pseudo", although he is of a higher status and essence.

However, the power of the "Time-Space Unifier" is inherently unstable and exists for destruction.

Once exposed to such frenzied emotions, it could shatter the already fragile balance, and Li Qianyi could instantly become a ticking time bomb.

Just then, the lantern in Jack Belmont's hand emitted a dazzling light, with a faint gray mist seemingly emerging from it.

Thus, the frenzied emotions were contained, and all the pollution dissipated.

Under the influence of "The Fool's Lantern," the two illusory figures slowly dissipated.

Li Qianyi glanced at the guide and said, "After destroying the sacred remains and killing the holy son, your mission should be complete, right?"

"Right?"

"So what do you plan to do next?" Li Qianyi asked.

"It depends on the church's arrangements," Jack Belmont said in a deep voice. "There might be new assignments."

"If the 'Holy Remains' are truly destroyed, and the Holy Son is killed..."

"Your Belya will probably never return," Li Qianyi said suddenly, his eyes slightly lowered.

"Probably."

"I remember you told me before," Li Qianyi said, "that if the Holy Son were to descend, there might be a chance for Belia to return."

"This might not be a bad thing for you."

"But this could also lead to an even greater disaster."

Upon hearing this, Jack Belmont paused, but quickly resumed his steps, saying, "We seem to be facing some kind of crisis, which is causing some anxiety within the Church."

Li Qianyi was taken aback.

Could this be related to the primordial God?

If the second pillar were born on the side of the "fallen mother goddess," it would indeed be a disaster for Mr. Fool and his ilk.

But after thinking about it, Li Qianyi denied the guess.

Mr. Fool's camp possesses all the unique and Sequence One extraordinary characteristics that constitute the "Omniscient and Omnipotent One," if he so chooses not to.

Even if God did indeed revive his consciousness in the "Ocean of Chaos," he would still be unable to collect all the extraordinary characteristics.

Such a primordial God could only be considered an existence similar to a "source-matter merger," and all symbols could only be used to a limited extent, posing no threat to the "mysterious lords."

Therefore, this guess can be ruled out.

"So what kind of calamity, even with the birth of the 'Demon of Knowledge' and the 'Shadow of Order,' still causes anxiety among the members of the Tarot Club?"

"arrive."

Just then, Jack Belmont's voice rang out.

Li Qianyi looked up and saw a phantom light that seemed to connect to a huge temple.

That is the "Hall of Sunset and Twilight".

"Once we get inside, we can destroy the Holy Remains and kill the Holy Son..."

'

As if the mission had reached its final stage, Jack Belmont's words seemed to carry a hint of relief.

But before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and the Fool's lantern went out.

He instinctively turned his head, and there stood the one the Fool had instructed him to guide, now holding the blade that pierced his chest and the lantern.

Why?

Jack could still only see a blurry, unreal face, its brown eyes filled with pain, completely unable to believe it.

However, he received only a calm and indifferent response.

"I am the Holy Son."

The person he guides is the Son of God, whom the original God cherishes dearly.

Jack Belmont was momentarily bewildered, but before he could think, he lost consciousness, and he and the Fool's Lantern plunged into the vast ocean of the collective unconscious.

Li Qianyi stared coldly at Jack Belmont's falling figure.

I only felt a little relieved after I saw a tiny glimmer of light.

He then turned his head, his neck moving slowly and stiffly as if pulled by invisible threads.

Two men dressed in holy robes emerged from the illusory portal of light.

Their faces were as indifferent as statues, but their gazes were fixed on Li Qianyi, as if they had been waiting for him in this space and time for a long time.

"You are being influenced by an unknown force."

"You attacked Jack Belmont."

[You have encountered the Radiant Saint]

[You have encountered the Saint of Waves]

These two demigods seemed to have known about Li Qianyi's actions all along, and didn't seem to care about their previous hostile relationship at all.

They simply bowed warmly and respectfully, extending an invitation akin to a hymn of praise: "Welcome, Your Majesty the Holy Son."

Li Qianyi, like a puppet on strings, slowly followed the two saints through the door and into the enormous palace.

You have arrived at the Temple of Sunset and Twilight.

This was Li Qianyi's first time visiting the Hall of Sunset and Twilight; the dome of the enormous hall was so high that it swallowed up the light.

The four colonnades cast a hazy, golden hue over the palace, as if the entire palace were frozen in the last second before the sun set.

Directly in front, a colossal statue stood there, so large that it was almost unbearable to look directly at it. It held a gray stone slab in its arms, and its face was a chaotic vortex.

At the foot of the statue, the figure nailed to the cross hangs suspended in mid-air, a dim yellow light flowing down from it like liquid, illuminating the dust floating in the air.

Deep within the temple, dozens, even hundreds, of priests clad in the robes of the Silent Covenant were prostrating themselves, their foreheads pressed against the cold stone bricks, their lips moving as ancient hymns, like mist seeping from the earth, were low, dense, and endless.

It was as if a final ceremony was being held.

At this very moment, text is being frantically updated on the dusty stone slab that the statue is holding.

[Jack Belmont was unaware that the "Lost Lord of the East" he was guiding was the chosen Son of the primordial God.]

[Jack Belmont is attacked by the Lost One Dongjun using the power of the Time-Space Unifier - Pseudo, and the Fool's Lantern is destroyed in the process.]

"The Lost One, Dongjun," was the executioner chosen by the "Lord of Mysteries," while "the Holy Remains" were the sacrifice selected by the "Primordial God."

However, the "Lost Lord of the East" will not realize that the "Holy Remains of Adam" is his past, both a contingency plan for the resurrection of the "Primordial God" and a part of the prohibition against the "Primordial God."

When "The Lost One, Dongjun," uses the power of "The Time-Space Unifier - Pseudo" to destroy the "Holy Relic," the consciousness of "The Primordial God" will be weakened to some extent, but the confinement will also be weakened accordingly.

"The Lost Lord Dongjun" will become the true Holy Son, inheriting the power of the Chaos Sea, and will also become the vessel for the resurrection of "The Primordial God".

The "Saint of Blazing Light" and the "Saint of Waves" bowed respectfully to Li Qianyi and said, "Please kill Adam" and inherit the Holy Crown.

Li Qianyi slightly raised his head.

The remains of Adam nailed to the cross bear an almost identical resemblance to him.

This is why, upon seeing Adam's appearance, he deduced that he himself was the chosen son of the original God.

Adam's chest seemed to rise and fall, as if it possessed life.

"By destroying this sacred relic," you can collect the remaining fourth fragment of the blasphemous tablet.

"Become the chosen holy son of the primordial God and gain access to the Chaos Sea."

This was something he had been hoping for deep down since he entered the game and started the quest.

But now it seems that there may be a shadow of "the original God" behind this expectation, after all, He is the strongest psychologist and the strongest manipulator.

Li Qianyi stared at the panel in front of him.

[You can kill Adam, the Remains of the Holy Relic, to obtain the remaining fourth fragment of the Profane Tablet.]

The Radiant Saint, the Wave Saint, and all the priests looked at Li Qianyi at this moment.

They await his execution of the "Holy Relic" Adam, at which time they will welcome the true Holy Son.

Did you use the "Sunset Elegy" to destroy the remains of Adam?

Li Qianyi's eyes drooped slightly; this was his mission here.

He raised his longsword and pierced Adam's chest.

The pain on Adam's face froze at that moment.

This caused his body to emit a dark yet multicolored light.

Then, a vast, dark sea, encompassing everything and all things, faintly appeared.

Chaotic Sea!

Information frantically appeared on the panel in front of Li Qianyi.

"You have destroyed the sacred remains."

The will of the "Primordial God" has been weakened.

[The imprisoned will of the "Primordial God" has been somewhat restored.]

Fragments of the blasphemous stone tablets appeared around Li Qianyi, and the Radiant Saint proclaimed, "Please crown the Holy Son!"

"You have collected the fourth fragment of the blasphemous tablet. Do you wish to fuse them together and become the Son of the Primordial God?"

The only response the priests to the "covenant of silence" was a soft "pfft".

Beneath the cross, the elegy in the afterglow of the setting sun, after piercing the remains of Adam, also pierced the body of the Son they longed for.

Li Qianyi never forgot his main mission.

"Kill the Holy Son, prevent the Holy Son's coming."

Since he is the Holy Son, then let him kill me.

You have taken 99999 points of damage.

【You killed the Holy Son】Dongjun (Sequence 7 - Hermit)

"You have completed the elegy for the setting sun," the Fool's faction main quest is now complete.
