Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 20: How Could a Dragon Rush to the Front End Lose? Clues to the Ancient Tomb

Li Qianyi pressed the pocket watch, and time flowed backward.

[Your lost sanity and health points have been restored]

The crimson moon faded, and a greyish-white mist gradually rose.

[The night's operation has ended]

As dawn broke, you left the "Red Queen's Fantasy Paradise".

Although I was unable to enter the "Red Queen's" "Rose Castle".

But Li Qianyi grasped a very crucial character term.

"The White Prince."

This is undoubtedly related to the so-called Holy Son.

Unfortunately, the time was too short, and he didn't have time to verify it.

"We can only investigate during the next shift tonight."

Li Qianyi suppressed his emotions and returned his gaze to his phone.

You open your eyes, sunlight streams in, and you find yourself awake in bed. Jack Belmont pushes open the door.

He tells you with a serious expression that a sacrificial ritual performed by cultists has been discovered in the town.

Do you choose to go with him or explore other places?

Current exploration ability: 2/7

"There must be a clue."

Li Qianyi chose to follow along.

[You and Jack Belmont arrive at "Old Arthur's Tavern," amidst the fearful gazes of those around you.]

You see dozens of corpses hanging from the tavern's ceiling, swaying slightly in the wind, like dried bacon.

[The Night Watch priest Caleb Hayes solemnly tells you that this is a crime committed by a cultist known as the "Puppet Master"]

"This isn't right," Li Qianyi said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"The Master of Puppetry is not that awesome."

A 'Puppet Master' who has fully digested the potion can only create a maximum of three puppets.

To achieve this level, one must at least be a "trickster" with divine abilities.

But with the Lord of Mysteries watching, which sorcerer would dare to hang someone so casually?

Li Qianyi looked towards the game.

Jack Belmont vehemently denounces the cultists' viciousness and cruelty, vowing to bring them to justice.

As a follower of the Lord of Mysteries and a believer of the Fool, you feel inexplicably guilty upon hearing your friend's words.

But you know, the 'Master of Puppets' doesn't actually possess such power; the priest is most likely lying.

Do you want to expose the pastor's lies now and tell Jack Belmont the truth, or join everyone in condemning the despicable "foolish believer"?

Current exploration ability: 1/7

"Are these the only two options?"

Li Qianyi looked at the options, but this time he was not given the opportunity to choose freely.

"It seems like a conspiracy or a trap?"

The pastor enjoys considerable prestige in Anning Town, and rashly exposing the truth would only provoke hostility and suspicion from the people.

"This seems to be a scheme orchestrated by the primordial God."

Li Qianyi couldn't help but make a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.

"This is also for our greater good."

"Mr. Fool, you surely won't mind, will you?"

Li Qianyi clasped his hands together and chose to condemn the foolish believers.

[You are physically in Cao Cao's camp but your heart is with Liu Bei; you use profanity learned from the internet to viciously insult the followers of the foolish, and everyone is praising you.]

[I've never seen anyone swear so badly.]

[You have blasphemed against the 'Fool' you believe in, Divine Faith +30]

Looking at the game information, Li Qianyi felt extremely guilty.

They were terrified that they would be hanging from the roof and swaying in the wind at any moment.

Rewards are a good thing, but this one is a hot potato.

Your "extraordinary inspiration" has worked; you've found a "brown note" on the tavern windowsill.

[An unknown leather note: It seems that the secret on it can be discovered through special ritual magic]

"Is this a clue, or a conspiracy?"

Li Qianyi was somewhat suspicious.

The game has now displayed a new prompt.

[Lost in your homeland, your exploration power for today has been exhausted. Please try again tomorrow.]

"It's time."

Li Qianyi put down his phone, feeling as if he had really gone through a whole night, and felt extremely tired.

He turned off his phone and closed his eyes for a nap.

I plan to rest for a bit and then go out for lunch tonight.

......

Yu Minghao has been very depressed these past few days. The evil god player last time completely robbed him of all his accumulated wealth.

Penniless, he had no choice but to start all over again, slowly cultivating his faith in the divine.

This may be the fate of cattle and horses.

Just then, a message popped up.

You have received the Red Queen's Invitation (purple)

"A rare purple item? The Red Queen's invitation? A special storyline or a dungeon?"

Yu Minghao's heart stirred, and he clicked on the entry, where information began to appear.

In the distant past, a terrifying evil god destroyed the ideal kingdom of all things, the Garden of Eden.

The kind-hearted "Red Queen" found fragments of the Garden of Eden in the vast ocean of the collective unconscious and rebuilt a new fantasy kingdom.

However, this news leaked out, and the follower of the evil god once again infiltrated the Garden of Eden, intending to disrupt the Birth of the Holy Son ceremony and destroy the Garden of Eden once more.

The Red Queen, having no other option, has sent out an invitation, hoping you can help her expel that evil god's follower.

[You can use this invitation to enter the 'Red Queen's Fantasy Paradise' during the night's action rounds and capture followers of the evil god.]

"Another follower of an evil god."

Yu Minghao became wary, but then he looked at the invitation that was emitting a faint purple light.

He couldn't help but be moved again.

This is a rare and precious story event; missing it might mean missing it forever.

"It's unlikely that it's always the same cultist."

Despite saying this, Yu Minghao was still seething with hatred inside.

To this day, he still has no idea what Medici has to do with hot pot.

Is this really a mystical event?

You have accepted the Red Queen's invitation.

[You have started the main story battle in Anning Town: The Birth of the Holy Son (Hero)]

"Holy crap, wasn't this supposed to be a rare and precious event? How did it turn into a hero story?"

Yu Minghao was dumbfounded.

However, as the information surfaced, he was completely stunned.

Your alignment is: The Covenant of Silence - The Alignment of the Primordial God

The opposing factions are: '■■■■', '■■■■', 'Cataclysmic Destruction', 'Demon of Knowledge', and 'Shadow of Order'.

"So many evil gods, should I fight them?"

Yu Minghao was completely bewildered. "Original God, aren't you overestimating me?"

Is he playing PvPPPPP by himself?

Damn it, game designer, did you fill in the game values with your feet? The balance is terrible!

Is it possible for him to switch sides now?

However, after seeing the subsequent game information, Yu Minghao suddenly felt that he was capable again.

[Main Story Quest]

[Task 1: Capture, report, or kill the evil god's followers lurking in 'Eden', remaining quantity: 0/1]

[Mission 2: Sabotage the exploration of the evil god's followers in the 'Garden of Eden'. The mission will automatically fail if it continues for thirty days.]

You can request information from any member in 'Eden'.

[Basic Reward for the Mission: 1000 Contribution to the Covenant of Silence]

[Bonus rewards accumulate in a prize pool; completing Task 1 will grant you the highest-level reward.]

"If it's just one person, then it's not that complicated."

Yu Minghao rubbed his hands together; it turned out to be a battle royale game.

"The opponent is only one person, and there is a time limit for disrupting the Holy Son's birthday, while I have the entire Paradise as my backing."

"As expected, there's no future in believing in evil gods."

With this wave of dragons charging in, how could we possibly lose?

Yu Minghao was visibly excited; after all, this was a hero-level mission.

Fate was indeed on my side.

.....

Li Qianyi woke up at 8:30 p.m.
