Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 129 Storm's Abyss and Danitz's Million-Dollar Bounty

"What constitutes my outstanding contribution to 'Elegy for the Setting Sun'?"

Li Qianyi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The game's rapid public beta launch is somewhat related to his acquisition of the "Chaos Sea" access.

However, without the intervention of Li Qianyi and Mr. Fool, if the "Chaotic Sea" had recovered, what we would be facing now might not just be a public beta test, but the arrival of divinity into reality.

"But this does indeed confirm my guess."

"This game is a follow-up to the resurrection of the 'Primordial God.'"

"The state of the 'Chaotic Ocean' will, to some extent, affect the 'game's' interference with 'reality'."

Li Qianyi looked at the game and first checked his own status.

[The Lost One: Dongjun (Hermit)]

[Rank: 7]

Current sanity level: 56

Current Armor Value: 21

Current Health: 55

Attack power: 17~21

[Backpack: Fourth Blasphemous Slab, Hermit's Extraordinary Trait, Bai Ze Token, Dong Jun Token, Key to Pure White Paradise, Key to Shadow Veil, Key to Emptiness and Illusion, Adam's Imaginary Church, Rose Bishop's Potion Exchange Coupon, Memory |, Dilapidated Oak Seed, Eternal Darkness Charm (1/2), Fool's Time Pocket Watch...]

[Divine Faith: 32746]

Li Qianyi closed the information bar and then entered the game.

You left Anning Town and returned to your detective agency.

However, you are no longer the steadfast believer in the original God you once were.

[You are the "Lamplighter" of the "Church of Fools." Please note that your true identity is taboo in Paradise Lost. Do not let anyone discover it.]

You accepted Amon's request, but you don't know where the "Aurora City" and the "Moving Miracle Circus City" are.

Fortunately, as a private investigator, you know where to get that dangerous and confidential information.

You arrive at the tavern in Morning Mist Town and find the information broker "Old Tom".

"Seeing you, an old acquaintance, Old Tom tells you that a lot of big things have happened recently. If you need them, you can exchange them for your divine faith."

Li Qianyi glanced at it; there were three types of secret information in total.

[Low-level secret, priced at 10 Divine Faith]

[Intermediate Secret, Price: 50 Divine Faith]

[Advanced Secret, Price: 1500 Divine Faith]

"It's not cheap."

1500 Divine Faith is already more expensive than a Sequence 9 potion and potion recipe.

Seeing your hesitation, Old Tom tells you that this high-level secret involves an extremely confidential entity, hence the higher price.

Mystical information in Paradise Lost requires purchasing through divine faith, and the more advanced information is even monopolized by churches such as the "Covenant of Silence".

Li Qianyi now has tens of thousands of divine beliefs, but he is not a fool.

"Let's look at the low-level secrets first."

[You spent 10 Divine Faith to purchase a Low-Level Secret Realm, and you obtained 1 Low-Level Secret Realm]

[Secret Anecdote 1: Mrs. Keynes' husband fell in love with his wife's groom's wife]

"What kind of bizarre secret is this?" Li Qianyi's lips twitched.

Is this a case of "you get what you pay for"?

Can I get a refund now?

[You spent 1500 Divine Faith to purchase an Advanced Secret Realm, and you obtained 3 Advanced Secret Realms.]

"There are three of them."

Li Qianyi clicked on the first one.

[Advanced Secret Mission I: The Secret Manor of "Danitz, the Flame Ruler"]

"Danitz?"

Li Qianyi was surprised that the first high-level secret he saw was related to Danitz, so he quickly read on.

[Mysterious news: Danitz, a follower of the evil god and the pirate king "Flame Dominator," has purchased a manor in "Radiant City," and now everyone is searching for the location of this secret manor.]

You have obtained Danitz's bounty.

Danitz

[Sequence Rank: Suspected Sequence 3]

[Note: The Pirate King of the Boundless Sea, the messenger and follower of the Great Evil God, the Lord of Mysteries, is a demigod with immense power. He once destroyed the Abyss Fleet of the Blessed Council with a single flame, disrupted the Tranquility Ritual of the Silent Covenant, and plundered the harpies of the Oak Forest. [Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

[Bounty: 10000000 Faith in Divinity]

"Good heavens, Danitz has become the Devil Orb of Paradise Lost, and the bounty is a whopping ten million divine faith, which is equivalent to ten of Amon's Supernova Spells."

Li Qianyi's lips twitched. "Does Mr. Fool know about this bounty amount?"

He was genuinely afraid that one day, the Fool's incarnation, Gehrman Sparrow, would descend to Earth and capture this divine messenger to collect the bounty.

"Jokes aside, Danitz is currently at Sequence 3. Even with Mr. Fool's protection, participating in a mission in Paradise Lost, a place teeming with cultists, would still be extremely dangerous."

"He's had a tough time."

After confirming the information, Li Qianyi continued to look at the next secret.

【Advanced Secrets II: The Moving Miracle Circus】

[Special Information: The Moving Miracle Circus will temporarily stay at Blessed Land, controlled by the Blessed Church, for seven days. The Covenant of Silence, the Blessed Church, and the Dream Seekers will dispatch demigods to besiege the Moving Miracle Circus.]

The Moving Miracle Circus

[Special Building: A base of operations for the Great Evil God, Lord of Mysteries, in Paradise Lost. He moves slowly throughout Paradise Lost on ordinary days. It is said that ordinary people who enter this circus city will be turned into clowns in the circus, for people's amusement.]

[A gentle reminder from the Covenant of Silence: Cherish life, stay away from cults]

This secret undoubtedly contains some hidden agenda.

But Li Qianyi had also gotten used to the "Primordial God" occasionally smearing Mr. Fool and Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun.

"Speaking of which, before the final battle, Earth protected the Source with the help of the barrier created by the original Creator, while the Outer Gods coveted the Source inside the barrier from outside."

"Now the roles have reversed, and it is now Mr. Fool and his companions who are eyeing the original God from outside Paradise Lost. The Goddess of Fate, the Mother Tree of Desire, and other ancient entities are constantly on guard against Mr. Fool's invasion of Paradise Lost."

"Is this the wheel of fate turning, history repeating itself?"

As Li Qianyi pondered, a new idea came to him.

"Could the discovery of this Miracle Circus City be a way to provide me with its coordinates?"

Mr. Fool holds secret authority, and even the Fallen Mother cannot keep his territory hidden from discovery.

The game's strategy of cultivating extraordinary individuals, exemplified by figures like "Amon's business license being related to Mr. Fool," is extremely important.

Now that it's been exposed so openly, it's clearly spreading a message around the world.

Li Qianyi felt that his guess was probably very accurate.

He looked toward the third secret.

[Advanced Secret Mission III: Abnormal Movements in the Storm Abyss]

[There is an abyss in the Boundless Sea that is perpetually shrouded in thunder and storms, forming every July and August. However, just a few days ago, the Abyss of Storms began to stir abnormally ahead of schedule. The disturbances only subsided after two new islands appeared around the Abyss of Storms. It seems that the gods slumbering in the Abyss of Storms have been stimulated by something.]

"The Abyss of Storms? A slumbering god?"

Li Qianyi narrowed his eyes slightly. The first thing he thought of when he saw this word was "tyrant".

"Two days ago was exactly when I gained access to the 'Chaotic Sea'."

"Does the 'Tyrant,' a unique monster that has been brought to life, slumber within the Abyss of Storms?"

Li Qianyi still cared a lot about this information.

After all, he is now bound to the Chaos Sea and has embarked on that path.

His unique state of omniscience and omnipotence through the five pathways is closely related to his destiny.

"These two islands must be the Silver Island and Penglai Island of the Fool's Church, used to suppress the tyrant's unique activation?"

"Speaking of which, these two islands only appeared after I successfully carried the fourth blasphemous tablet."

"This means my mission is complete, and it will also provide positive feedback to Mr. Fool and the others, allowing them to better intervene in this world."

"In that case, I'll have to go to 'Paradise Paradise' first."

Paradise is the territory of the "Mother Tree of Desire" in Paradise Lost.

This Great Old One was severely wounded in the "Elegy in the Sunset Glow," and now, it's unknown where he is hiding to lick his wounds.

mouth.

This may also be why the Circus City chose to be located in the "Blessed Land".

Li Qianyi looked towards the game.

[You've learned that "Zhifulang Paradise" is your destination.]

To reach "Paradise of Bliss," you must first go to "Radiant City," the core city of the "Covenant of Silence."

[You said goodbye to old Tom and headed to the train station.]

The salesperson tells you that a ticket to the "City of Radiance" requires 5 points of divine faith. Do you want to buy it?

【Yes】

You have obtained a ticket to the City of Radiance.

Did you use the City of Radiance ticket?

【Yes】

You will be spending 48 hours on the steam train, please be patient.

Activities in the main world follow the flow of time in the real world, unlike in story dungeons where actions are performed in turn.

Therefore, he needs to leave the game running for a while while he is on his way to the City of Radiance.

However, this doesn't mean Li Qianyi has nothing to do.

He took out the "Blooming Flowers and Full Moon" ticket.

The activities launched by the Great Mother also concern Amon's business license issue.

Moreover, unlike the dominant word games, this event is an alternative virtual reality game, similar to the "City of Miracles" event.

Did you use the "Blooming Flowers and Full Moon" ticket?

【Yes】

[Welcome to the "Great Mother's Happy Reunion and Abundant Harvest" event]

[Part One (The Battle to Defend the Five Grains)]

You can choose one of the following three weapons.

1. Beginner's Spear (Mid-Range): A mid-range weapon for beginners, each attack deals 2-4 damage to the enemy.

[Points of health damage]

2. Beginner's Sword (Melee): A melee weapon for beginners, each slash deals 1-3 damage.

【3. Beginner Bow (Ranged): A ranged weapon for beginners. One arrow is automatically generated per minute, and each arrow deals 3-6 points of damage.】

Li Qianyi casually chose a beginner's sword.

You have obtained the beginner's sword (melee).

Please choose one of the following locations to participate in the Battle of Five Grains.

A list appears on the phone.

【Grain Field No. 1 - Spring Equinox Quadrant】

【Grain Field No. 2 - Grain Rain Quadrant】

【Grain Field No. 3 - Grain in Ear Quadrant】

【Grain Plot No. 1000.....】

"These are all galactic coordinates."

As a pillar of the real world, the Fallen Mother Goddess has countless dependent planets in the universe.

Even though this list is long enough, it is still just a drop in the ocean.

Li Qianyi selected number 574, which did not show as a fully booked grain plot.

[You selected: Wheat Field No. 574 - Grain Rain Quadrant]

[This star system is codenamed: Grain-0714]

You are about to undergo a jump...

As the countdown ended, everything went black before Li Qianyi's eyes.

It felt as if an invisible hand had seized my soul and pulled me for a moment in some indescribable direction.

When the light returned to his vision, he was standing in the middle of an endless wheat field.

The soil beneath my feet was soft and slightly cool, and the air was filled with the unripe, green scent of wheat.

Instead of the sun overhead, three enormous planets hung silently in the low sky.

The closest one is dark gold in color, with its surface covered with crisscrossing grooves.

The one in the middle is a deep emerald green, with faint traces of river and forest patterns.

The farthest one was shrouded in a thin, pale blue halo, slowly rotating.

They were so close together that it seemed they might tear the sky apart at any moment and crash heavily onto the wheat field.

"This is definitely not Earth."

"What a strange ecosystem."

The phone transformed into a virtual panel, displaying prompts.

You currently belong to the "Lord of Mysteries" faction and have received two "Virtual Life" blessings.

[Note: When your virtual life is consumed, you will be sent back to Earth.]

Li Qianyi understood.

Without this protection mechanism, all 70 billion players on Earth would die in this event in no time.

You can select the difficulty level for protecting the current area.

[Easy Difficulty: 1 low-level monster spawns every 5 minutes]

[Normal Difficulty: 3 low-level monsters spawn every 5 minutes]

[Hard Difficulty: 1 Intermediate Monster Spawns Every 3 Minutes]

[Hell Difficulty: 5 mid-level monsters spawn every 3 minutes]

[On Normal difficulty and above, a special BOSS will spawn every 10 rounds. Defeating it will grant a large amount of Oak Power and has a chance to drop a skill scroll.]

Li Qianyi chose the [Normal] difficulty level.

Soon, three giant bears covered in steel and with ferocious appearances appeared in front of him.

You encountered a giant steel bear.

【Steel Giant Bear】

[Sequence Rank: 7 (Incomplete)]

【HP: 40】

Armor Value: 20

Attack power: 15~20

"This bear is a bit scary."

This bear is equivalent to half a Sequence 7, and it corresponds to the Weapon Master of the Warrior path.

Here, weapons made in reality cannot be used; one can only rely on extraordinary abilities and items provided by the game.

"No wonder those teams are looking for members with skills like 'combat proficiency' and 'assassination' that enable direct combat."

However, this was nothing to Li Qianyi.

He was already a true "hermit" and possessed the "Key to the Veil of Shadows".

A huge black scythe appeared in Li Qianyi's hand.

You are using "Shepherd's Scythe"

Your attack power has increased by 75.

The enormous black scythe flashed by, and the three massive steel bears howled as they turned into specks of light in the air.

[Iron Bear #1's health has decreased by 51]

[Iron Bear #2's health has decreased by 62]

[Iron Bear #3's health has decreased by 68]

[You killed 3 Steel Giant Bears, and you gained 30 Oak Power]

"It only possesses the 'Strength of the Oak,' but no extraordinary characteristics."

Li Qianyi was not surprised; his extraordinary characteristic was constancy.

It's impossible for players to have billions or tens of billions of magical creatures to kill.

Unless the "Primordial Chaos" is resurrected and creates so many extraordinary properties.

"These monsters are most likely just illusory projections."

[You can spend 5 Oak Power to unlock the Great Mother's Treasure Shop. Do you wish to unlock it?]

Li Qianyi selected "Yes," and a virtual shopping mall appeared.

Li Qianyi glanced at it, and the most attractive thing was the skill scroll.

[Animal Senses (Green): Enables you to understand the thoughts of wild animals, communicate with them, and control them. Requires 3000 to redeem.]

"The Power of the Oak"

【"Soul Stitching" (Green): Allows for soul-level surgery to heal soul-level damage. Requires 4000 Oak Power to exchange.】

"Air Bullet" (Green): Can condense air into a bullet to damage the enemy. Requires 4000 to exchange.

Oak Power

[Note: The exchanged abilities can only be used during the "Blooming Flowers and Full Moon, Abundant Harvest" event.]

"The Power of Grace has appeared in the shop in the form of skill scrolls, although only at the Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 levels."

"But this includes not only the blessings bestowed by the righteous gods, but also the blessings bestowed by the evil gods."

Li Qianyi wasn't too surprised.

Just like in "Elegy for the Setting Sun," the Great Mother and the Primordial God could not completely destroy the arrangements made by Mr. Fool and others.

Although this event was led by the "Fallen Mother Goddess," Mr. Fool and others were still able to interfere to some extent.

Similarly, if Mr. Fool and others plan game activities in the future, then the Great Mother can also insert her methods into them.

Only in this way can balance be maintained.

Li Qianyi browsed the online store and soon found what he needed.

[Great Mother's Business Certificate]: Can be obtained as a merchant slot at the Moon Worship Festival; requires 30000 Oak Power to redeem.

"30000 oak tree power is equivalent to 3000 low-level monsters."

Li Qianyi's lips twitched; there were quite a few of them.

Just then.

A slightly rough and deep voice appeared in Li Qianyi's ears.

"Sorry, bro, this area is already taken over by 'Death's Eye.' Could you please go somewhere else?"
