Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

"Legacy of the old world?"

Li Qianyi was startled; he knew of something called "the remnants of the old world."

But he had never heard of what it was, so he quickly clicked on the entry.

[The remnants of the past: originating from the birth after the fall of the gods, they are the residue left behind by the gods, the echoes accumulated on the throne after prayers were in vain. They are curses, blessings, and the coordinates by which the gods anchor themselves in reality.]

"Anchored to reality?"

Li Qianyi was startled.

"Does this mean they'll attack me in real life?"

He sensed something was wrong and quickly clicked on the relevant information.

【'The Fallen Gravedigger's Undead: This is the remnant of the 'Sequence 8 - Gravedigger' undead after encountering corrupted power. It is filled with nothing but revenge against the living and is extremely afraid of strong light and holy attacks.】

"Is this a special Easter egg triggered by the game?"

"No, no."

Li Qianyi frowned. His inspiration as a "secret initiator" told him that this was a curse from the "lost home".

"Guo Qianfan." Li Qianyi was taken aback. "This guy's a player too?"

Recalling Guo Qianfan's unusual and somewhat erratic behavior.

A thought crossed Li Qianyi's mind: "Could this guy have lost all his sanity from dying so many times in the game?"

Li Qianyi's expression changed, but he was not one to dwell on things and quickly made a decision.

"I definitely can't stay in the dorm tonight; I have to take care of this outside."

"Hey, Yi Zi, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go get some barbecue tonight?" Wang Kun pointed to his phone. "There's a really good barbecue restaurant on Changling Street."

"Tomorrow." Li Qianyi packed his backpack and added, "I have something to do tonight, so I won't be going back to the dorm."

"Oh my, not coming home all night." Upon hearing this, Lin Zicheng stopped playing on his phone, put his arm around Li Qianyi's neck, and said with a smile, "Who have you got your eye on? Want me to give you some advice?"

"Brother, although I've never been in a relationship, my dating experience... Hey, hey, don't go!"

What's so interesting about the experiences of a single person?

Li Qianyi couldn't help but think to himself, "Would you like to have the gravedigger's spirit as your wife?"

"Then let's do it tomorrow night. Tomorrow is Friday, so we can play games all night after dinner," Wang Kun said.

"that's all."

.....

An hour later, Li Qianyi arrived at the Home Inn and booked a room by the hour.

After checking that there were no security cameras in the room, he began to set up the altar.

The "Secret Prayer Man" himself doesn't have much combat ability, and his shooting skills also need practice.

To deal with the corrupted gravedigger spirits, one can only rely on external forces, namely ritual magic from the gods.

Li Qianyi did not receive formal training in mysticism.

But after he became an extraordinary being, he recalled many details from the Lord of Mysteries and the Ring of Fate.

For example, Klein's self-created ritual magic, which targets the Fool.

Due to the different historical context, Li Qianyi was unable to purchase Fennebot noodles, paella, and Dixie pie.

But he has instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, wife cakes, and silver spoons.

Although there was a difference, his extraordinary inspiration told him that it would work.

"Then there are essential oils extracted from tulips, red roses, laurel, and wintersweet."

Li Qianyi put a drop of each of the four essential oils on each candle.

The four different scents seemed to harmonize and unify under some mysterious force, and the candle seemed to be tinged with starlight.

Li Qianyi took a deep breath and knelt down on the ground.

Make a prayer gesture with both hands, as if it were part of a potion, and slowly recite the incantation.

"A fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, you are the king of yellow and black who holds the reins of good fortune..."

"I beg for your help."

"I pray for your favor."

"I beg you to bestow upon me a spell to exorcise the evil spirits..."

......

3 minute later.

Li Qianyi stared at the unchanged altar, lost in thought.

"No response. No, it seems to be subject to some kind of special restriction."

Li Qianyi looked at his phone; a message popped up in the game.

[You attempted to perform ritual magic, praying to the hidden being, the "Lord of Mysteries."]

[Since you did not consume any resources this time, this 'prayer' has failed.]

Please place 'Divine Faith', 'Blasphemy Power', or an equivalent 'Spiritual Item' before attempting to pray.

"Just as I thought."

Li Qianyi narrowed his eyes; the high-ranking beings followed a certain tacit understanding.

They intervene in the world through two special currencies: "divine faith" and "the power of blasphemy."

"This is not just aimed at the 'Lord of Mysteries,' but also at the 'Fallen Mother Goddess.'"

Li Qianyi took out 30 "Divine Faith" and 5 "Blasphemy Power" from the package and placed them on the makeshift altar.

"This should ensure the effectiveness of the ritual and the blessing."

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era..."

As the incantation was recited, Li Qianyi sensed a distinct difference this time.

His thoughts seemed somewhat sluggish, and his perspective kept rising.

It was as if an endless gray fog could be seen, and from the depths of the palace above the gray fog, a figure cast a gaze.

By the time Li Qianyi regained his composure, the offerings on the altar had disappeared.

Instead, there was a finely crafted golden talisman.

It exudes a faint glow and carries an ancient aura, as if it were taken from a distant history.

"It's a success!"

Li Qianyi was so excited he wanted to do a somersault as he looked at his phone.

[You have consumed 30 'Divine Faith' and 5 'Blasphemy Power' to complete a prayer to the 'Lord of Mysteries'.]

You have received the blessing 'Mutated Sunfire Talisman'.

"A mutated Sunfire Talisman?"

Li Qianyi was surprised and clicked on the entry.

【Item Name: Mutated Sunfire Talisman】

[Item Description: Holding up the 'Mutated Sunfire Talisman' and shouting 'Light' once will summon a pure holy light that purifies impurities and corruption.]

[Special Note: The Fool's personally crafted Sunfire Amulet will unleash boundless power when you believe in fighting for justice.]

[Number of uses: 2/2]

"The explanation is a bit simple, but Mr. Fool's products are definitely of guaranteed quality."

[You have successfully completed a prayer to a hidden being. The progress of the 'Prayer' potion digestion has increased. Current progress: 8%]

Your "Low-Level Prayer Talent" has been slightly improved.

"My guess was right. Praying to a hidden being and receiving feedback is the main way that the 'Prayer' plays this role," Li Qianyi said happily.

"That's dangerous, but if it's Mr. Fool, that's a different story."

Just then, new information suddenly appeared.

You have triggered the special quest 'Saving the Lanternman'.

[Mission Description: Jinling Police Detective, Lantern Bearer 'Sea Lion' (Sequence 9 - Hunter), has fallen into the lair of the 'Blessed Society' while investigating a murder case near Jinling University.]

[Mission Requirements: Please go to the abandoned factory outside Jinling city at midnight tonight and ensure the survival of the Lantern Bearer 'Sea Lion' (Sequence 9 - Hunter)]

[Mission Difficulty: Dangerous]

[Quest Reward: Favored by the Fool]

[The Favored One: Can significantly reduce the divine faith and blasphemous power required for divine blessings]

"this....."

Li Qianyi stared blankly at the information that appeared.

Mr. Fool actually posted a mission in the real world, hoping to rescue someone himself.

"But I'm just a Sequence 9 'Mystic', I'm not good at fighting."

Li Qianyi's lips twitched, but he quickly accepted the task.

Without discussing the inherent value of "the fool's favor".

As the most powerful magician in the universe, Mr. Fool would not perform without preparation.

Since this great being has assigned him this task, it means that the risks must be within an acceptable range.

.....

Midnight, an abandoned factory outside Nanjing city.

Li Qian changed into a black robe and wore a Nuo mask he bought from a street stall. He looked around and wiped the sweat from his palms.

To be honest, he believed in the power of Mr. Fool's "spell".

But after all, it was the first time I had done something like this, and I didn't have much experience.

Even if someone is stupid, can't they still shout the word "light"?

Will that 'Remnant of the Old World' come with that guy?

Li Qianyi found a corner to squat down and checked the time on his phone. Just then...

"Pat-pat..."

Amidst the heavy, chaotic footsteps, the pungent smell of blood filled his nostrils.

You discover the whereabouts of the lost soul 'Sea Lion' (Sequence 9 - Hunter).

"A sea lion is here?"

Li Qianyi was startled and instinctively hid in the dark blind spot behind the load-bearing column.

Soon, a man covered in wounds and wearing tattered clothes came running unsteadily.

He looked young, like he was in his early twenties.

Is this a sea lion?

Li Qianyi originally wanted to rush up to save the other person immediately, but he soon heard other footsteps.

A dagger wreathed in black flames struck his thigh.

The man finally couldn't hold on any longer and staggered to the ground.

In the darkness, a man dressed in a suit and wearing a white mask emerged.

He threw a piece of brass-colored paper at the man.

"Sign this contract, and you'll report to me on your department's movements at any time. In exchange, you'll have a chance to live. How about it?"

A deep, husky voice came from behind the white mask, "Isn't this a great deal?"

Xiao Qing's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the blood loss had made his face extremely pale.

In other words, the Hunter's Potion provides an almost abnormal boost to his physique; otherwise, he might not have been able to make it this far.

Hearing the man's words, Xiao Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Who would want to keep company with a bunch of lunatics like you? How many people have you killed?"

"You are bringing disaster into reality."

"Wrong, we are embracing evolution." The masked man's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Without this game, without the blessings of the Father and Mother Gods, could you obtain extraordinary power?"

"But you have fallen, you have turned to the embrace of evil gods."

At this point, the masked man's voice became somewhat neurotic and hysterical.

"We are simply removing all obstacles for God the Father and God the Mother."

"You heretics and evil spirits are the best sacrifices offered to the Father God and the Mother God."

As the masked man spoke, he grabbed Xiao Qing's hair and was about to slit his throat with a dagger.

"Who's there? Come out!"

The masked man stopped moving, then suddenly looked behind the concrete pillar, his voice laced with cold cruelty.

"Not coming out?"

The masked man threw Xiao Qing to the ground like he was throwing away trash, and clusters of black flames appeared around him.

"Tap, tap."

With a crisp sound of footsteps, a tall, thin person wearing a black robe and a Nuo mask emerged from the darkness.

"Who are you?"

The person in front of me was dressed like a charlatan, and I didn't know if he was a player or not.

The masked man wanted to gather more information.

However, he was met with a soft, hoarse young voice.

"Light."

Dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Since advancing to Sequence 8 - Cold-blooded, the masked man had never felt such a deadly and desperate sense of danger.

His instinct was to run, but he soon realized that it seemed to have no effect.

The masked man's eyes were now filled with light.

Jinling City, 0:03 AM on March 26.

A magnificent, pure, and blazing beam of light descended from the sky, almost traversing the entire abandoned factory.

Li Qianyi stared at his phone, where messages appeared one after another.

You encounter the homeless 'Blackfire' (Sequence 8 - The Cold-Blooded)

You used the 'Mutated Sunfire Talisman'

You have slain the homeless man "Blackfire" (Sequence 8 - Cold-Blooded).

[May the bright sunlight shine eternally.]

When you walk on the edge of an abyss, please don't forget the path you came from.
