Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Li Qianyi was already a member of the Fool's Ship, so naturally he wouldn't refuse the invitation.

You accepted Sean Cameron's invitation.

[You have acquired the faction identity: Lamplighter of the Church of the Fool]

[The Fool's favorability towards you increases by 5, current favorability: 16 (indifferent)]

[You have received the following blessed equipment: The Lamplighter's three-piece set (Lamplighter's Coat, Lamplighter's Gloves, Lamplighter's Citrine)]

Li Qianyi opened the three-piece set of lanterns.

[Lantern Bearer's Trench Coat (Gray): Wearing this black trench coat allows you to redirect a fatal blow to a non-fatal location. Can be used once every 3 days.]

[Lantern Bearer's Gloves (Gray): Wearing these black gloves allows you to steal a random item from someone's pocket without them noticing. Can be used once every 3 days.]

[Lamp Bearer Citrine (Grey): You may perform one low-sequence level divination, usable once every 3 days]

If you collect enough 'Divine Faith', 'Blasphemy Power', or 'Church of the Fool's Contribution', you can try praying to Mr. Fool to upgrade the quality of the 'Lamp Bearer' three-piece set.

"This is a benefit of the Fool's Church... equipment that is different from sealed artifacts."

Li Qianyi roughly understood that this should be the application of the power of grace at the Old Days level.

The capabilities of high-sequence products may not be able to be bestowed in large quantities, but the capabilities of low-sequence products can be produced in near-unlimited quantities.

It's important to know that when the Lord of Mysteries fought the Fallen Mother Goddess, he had at least billions of Mystic Puppet Masters.

In sequential pathways, the differences become increasingly pronounced as you progress.

"I wonder what kind of blessings the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' bestows upon her players."

Li Qianyi pondered for a moment, then looked towards the game.

[Special Note: Due to the favor of the 'Eternal Darkness,' your change of allegiance will not attract the attention of the 'Primordial God.']

However, since you have chosen the 'Secret Prayer' path, please do not reveal your 'Lamplighter' identity in Paradise Lost before obtaining 'Chaos Sea' access.

[Sean puts on a giant rabbit headgear and tells you that he is going to the Rose Castle to tend the Lost Gardens for the Red Queen, and bids you farewell.]

Did you use the 'Red Queen's Invitation (Fake)'?

【Yes】

You have transformed into a circus lion (Tom). As long as you don't actively reveal your identity, no one will discover it.

[Special Note: Your fake Red Queen Invitation will expire in two days. If you wish to move freely in the 'Red Queen's Fantasy Kingdom', please obtain the real 'Red Queen Invitation' as soon as possible.]

"That's also a problem."

Li Qianyi scratched his head. Although it's important to plan ahead, he still intended to proceed step by step.

Let's start by unlocking Amon's main questline.

You leave the rabbit gardener's hut and find that the church's back garden is now in full bloom with lantern grass and moon roses.

Under the shroud of the crimson moon, Anning Town has become a decadent yet fantastical paradise.

As you walk toward the fortune-telling shop, you see many strange creatures, including pythons flicking their tongues and canines full of mating desires.

[There are strange people with spider-like faces, giant rats with scarlet eyes, and brown bears dressed in tuxedos.]

All sorts of strange creatures were walking around, and you, a large lion wearing a top hat, didn't attract much attention.

Just then, a large, foul-smelling blue hand, reeking of fish fins and seafood, grabbed your lion's mane, and you were blocked by the 'Mermaid General' and the 'Shadow Nun'.

"I've turned into a lion, and you still won't leave me alone?"

Li Qianyi was a little stunned.

Could he have received counterfeit goods?

The merman general uttered a strange, indistinct sound, saying that it seemed to be seeing you for the first time in the Garden of Eden, but for some reason, he felt a special joy upon first seeing you, this lion, and really wanted to get to know you.

What are you going to do?

[Option A: Tell him you are a lion in the circus and will be performing as an actor in "Circus Night" three days from now.]

[Option B: Ugly people don't deserve to be your friends. You pull a revolver from your top hat and shoot him.]

[Option C: The moon is so round tonight. Let's use the Sunfire Spell and everyone praise the sun together.]

[Current Action Round: 2/4]

Current exploration ability: 4/7

Looking at the options, Li Qianyi quickly made a decision.

"After midnight, the town of Anning follows the rules of the 'Red Queen,' but I know I can't make any progress on my own."

"To quickly grasp clues in the subsequent game storyline, you must recruit locals as companions."

"Although Jack stabbed me twice, he's now come to me on his own initiative, which is an opportunity for me as well."

Adults only consider the pros and cons. Since you two adulterers have delivered yourselves to our doorstep...

How can he repay Mr. Fool's kindness if he doesn't make good use of it?

Li Qianyi chose A.

You tell the Mermaid General that you are Tom the Lion from the circus, invited by the Red Queen to perform the fire-jumping act at the "Circus Night" in three days.

The merman general was very pleased to hear your words, and he said that he and his wife would love to watch your performance.

The Mermaid General's affinity with the Circus Lion (Tom) has increased by 50. Current affinity: 50 (Friendly)

[The Mermaid General and the Shadow Nun slipped 20 "Divine Faith" tokens into your top hat, and you are very pleased.]

Without any obstacles, you finally arrived near the circus again. The fortune-telling house glowed with starlight at night, as if threads of fate were slowly turning in the air.

You enter the fortune-telling shop and see a round, chubby raven wearing a monocle perched on a crystal ball, yawning with its wings.

[When the raven sees you, a hint of pleasure appears on its face. The Raven of Destiny (Amon Adamovich Grisha) greets you.]

[You have been promoted to Sequence 9 'Mystic']

[You may choose whether to submit 'Sealed Blasphemous Cross', '1g Gold', and 'Mist Lantern Grass' x10]

[Submit or not?]

【Yes】

[You have completed the prerequisites for the main quest "Elegy for the Setting Sun"]

You have gained 50 Divine Faith, 1 Blasphemy Power, and an Unsealing Charm (which can unseal the Blasphemy Cross).

[Unsealing Charm: A charm imbued with mystical power that can be used to break certain seals]

Li Qianyi habitually took out the unsealing talisman to examine it first.

This is an iron talisman, engraved with symbols consisting of twisted lines, a pupilless eye, a door, and a time pointer.

Dark blue-green light spots scattered down, seemingly possessing an extremely mysterious power.

"Although it was given to me by Amon, it seems like something Mr. Fool would have made?"

Li Qianyi didn't waste much time; he put away the talisman and continued playing the game.

[Amon tells you that in a very ancient time, a "visionary" created a fantastical kingdom called "Eden" in the realm of the mind, but due to the activities of a "cat"]

The Garden of Eden collapsed, and all its fragments scattered across the ocean of the collective unconscious and the undercurrents of the mind.

[The follower of the "Fallen Mother Goddess," Lady Eleanor, under the guidance of the "Primordial God," discovers a fragment of Eden hidden in the ocean of the collective unconscious.]

[And in doing so, a fantasy kingdom was created in the reflection of Anning Town.]

[Amon tells you that the Red Queen's fantasy world originates from 'fantasy,' 'depravity,' 'animism,' and 'miracles.']

The town of Anning should have perished long ago, but it still exists because the power of a 'miracle' has taken root in this lost town.

[However, the "Miracle" is still dormant, while the "Red Queen's" plan is nearing its end.]

Once the "Birth of the Holy Son" ceremony is completed in twenty-nine days, the "Primordial God" and the "Fallen Mother Goddess" will complete a secret.

At that time, Anning Town will truly face its end.

【Dongjun, the lost soul, are you willing to contribute your strength to stop this ritual?】
