Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Jinling City, suburbs.

Li Qianyi was dressed in a black robe and wore a Nuo mask.

My gaze was fixed on the thick darkness before me, which absorbed the surrounding light, like a void that appeared out of nowhere, as if it were even swallowing up sound.

You have discovered the entrance to the 'veil of shadows'.

Li Qianyi slightly raised his phone.

The thick darkness slowly unfolded, like a well-prepared theater slowly drawing back the curtain for the 'audience'.

Li Qianyi took a deep breath and strode inside.

You have entered the 'Old World Ruins - Shattered Shadow Veil'

This is a broken city built of shadows, with ruins and broken walls everywhere.

Only the collapsed columns, broken arches, and crumbling walls offer glimpses of its former grandeur.

Li Qianyi stepped forward, wary of his surroundings, while faint sounds gradually reached his ears.

The sounds seemed to come from a great distance, or perhaps they echoed directly in his mind.

"The Creator of all things, the all-knowing and all-powerful God."

"You are the source of all greatness, you are the beginning and the end;"

"You are the God of Gods, the ruler of the vast star realm!"

"This is the name of the ancient sun god..."

Li Qianyi was no stranger to this "honored name".

The "True Creator" is a fallen god born from the extreme emotions and negative personality of the ancient sun god.

This shattered city-state, built of shadows, lingers above the ruins of this divine kingdom, murmuring day after day, year after year.

It seems to be the lingering obsession in His heart.

As a "Secret Prayer Person", Li Qianyi felt inexplicably sad.

"Sigh, now is not the time to think about that."

Lin Zicheng and Wang Kun are still clueless about their fates, so Li Qianyi has no time to wallow in sorrow over a true god.

But before he could take more than a few steps, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere and clung to his body.

"What the hell?"

Li Qianyi was terrified and pulled out the blasphemous cross, about to summon the holy light.

The next moment, however, the shadow conveyed a sense of warmth.

Li Qianyi discovered that he could manipulate this shadow.

[A 'Blasphemy Cross that emits a faint glow' has been detected. You have been granted the 'Blessing of Shadows'.]

"You can do it this way too."

Li Qianyi quickly clicked on the entry.

【Shadow's Blessing: Within this 'Shattered Curtain of Shadows,' you can manipulate a number of shadows and, to some extent, use them to attack enemies.】

However, please note that this does not mean you are already the owner here.

Please defeat the 'Core Boss' and complete the collection of this 'Old World Ruins'.

"By the way, the blasphemous cross was something 'Adam' from Anning Town gave me."

"Adam was not only a 'dreamer,' but also the 'real creator.'"

A thought struck Li Qianyi, and he immediately tried to activate the shadow within him.

The dark matter flowed and deformed obediently, as if it were an extension of his body.

[You gain the following abilities: Hide in the shadows, Shape the shadows, Summon the shadows]

"This is the ability of the 'Hermit' pathway, Sequence 7."

Starting with the 'Hermit' path, the 'Secret Prayer' path began to exhibit increasingly exaggerated combat power.

A well-equipped "shepherd" can even herd souls at the demigod level.

Li Qianyi was pleasantly surprised. With the support of this shadow, his combat ability and self-defense ability here were greatly enhanced.

It even led him to begin playing the role of a 'hermit' to some extent.

"It feels just like coming home, kudos, Mr. Fool."

Li Qianyi rubbed his hands together.

Just then, the curtain of shadow opened again.

"There are still people!"

As Li Qianyi had anticipated, a dark shadow quickly enveloped his body.

He seemed to melt into the darkness, merging with this shattered 'divine kingdom'.

Soon, a young man with slicked-back hair jumped in from behind the drawn curtain, looking around excitedly.

"Holy crap, this is an awesome other world. No wonder it's called a 'special story'."

"The Ancient Ruins! This is the rhythm of my takeoff!"

"This guy's pretty brave."

Li Qianyi huddled in the corner, inexplicably wary.

In such a bizarre and terrifying place, anyone who can be so flamboyant is either a fool or has a hidden trump card.

The next moment, a huge, dark shadow swallowed him whole.

The other party didn't even have time to scream.

Li Qianyi's lips twitched a few times.

Turns out he was an idiot.

Another message popped up on my phone.

【The Wriggling Shadow: The activation of the shadow is also the tentacle of the 'Core BOSS'. Killing one will grant 10 'Divine Faith'.

Eliminating the 'Wriggling Shadow' can weaken the 'Core Boss's' power.

A thought struck Li Qianyi, and the shadow covering him began to writhe, forming a huge, pitch-black scythe.

He used the shadows to conceal himself as he moved, and when he came to the 'wriggling shadow,' he suddenly sprang into action.

"Click, click, click."

The 'wriggling shadow' immediately shattered into pieces, turning into pools of black liquid that fell down.

[You have destroyed 'Wriggling Shadow'*1, and you have gained Divine Faith*10]

"These 'wriggling shadows' look formidable, but they're not actually that powerful. They should be able to be eliminated by using bullets or spells imbued with the power of 'light'."

Li Qianyi made a rough estimate.

No wonder it was rated as "medium difficulty".

However, if the number of them piles up, without techniques covering a large area of ​​the solar domain, it will likely lead to a war of attrition.

"You, what the hell are you?"

Li Qianyi glanced sideways and saw the man who had been swallowed sitting on the ground in terror.

Looking at the figure before him, He Yanlin saw no trace of the joy of surviving a disaster.

It was a humanoid form condensed from pure darkness, its cloak trailing to the ground like a flowing shadow.

He held a giant scythe formed from shadows in his hand, like a monster born from the depravity of the human heart.

"Oh no, oh no, am I going to run into the boss?"

He Yanlin is currently filled with regret, deep regret.

He recently became an "assassin" through the game "God".

Not only did he gain extraordinary power, but his appearance and temperament also improved to a certain extent.

He also got a girlfriend through this, and was riding high on his success.

However, his current situation has dealt him a very real blow.

He's a complete noob.

"Indeed, one shouldn't be too arrogant."

He Yanlin closed his eyes with a slightly bitter expression.

Waiting for true death to arrive.

However, after a while, the pain did not come.

He Yanlin opened his eyes and saw that figure, like the Grim Reaper, slowly drifting into the depths.

"Aren't you going to kill me?" He Yanlin asked, somewhat bewildered.

But he quickly realized what was happening and looked around for an exit.

"This place is too dangerous; it doesn't feel right for me."

"But how do I get out?"

Your coordinates have been locked. You cannot leave this area until the 'Old World Ruins' are defeated.

"Damn it!"

......

Li Qianyi walked forward.

He was not the true ruler of this place and could not directly perceive the coordinates of Lin Zicheng and Wang Kun.

It can only be roughly estimated by relying on extraordinary inspiration.

However, he also hunted down several 'Crawling Shadows' along the way.

Divine faith has returned to level 334.

Just as Li Qianyi arrived at a place that resembled an 'arena', a voice rang out.

"Here comes the BOSS!" A figure appeared, holding a long sword that emitted light.

"Blow it up, and this 'Old World Tomb' will be ours."

"Moreover, you can obtain a lot of divine faith, and maybe even spiritual materials."

"BOSS, where is BOSS?" Li Qianyi was initially confused until a bullet radiating golden light was shot at him.

Li Qianyi suddenly realized.

"Huh? I'm the boss?"

【The Lost Ones 'Navigator' (Sequence 8 - Wrathful People), 'Long-Bearded Sexy Male Cockroach' (Sequence 8 - Fighting Scholar), 'Tornado Sweeps Away Love' (Sequence 9 - Warrior) are launching their attacks on you】
