Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

"The Realm Without Darkness".

Pure and clear light emanated from Xiao Qing, spreading outwards to illuminate every corner.

The viscous darkness and corrupting power of the abyss of the soul began to melt, evaporate, and dissipate madly in the face of this light.

[The Broken Abyss of the Soul Suffers a Fatal Divine Attack]

[Health Points: 588→462→367→277....]

Damn it.

The demon listened in horror to the notification coming from the phone.

Each refresh means that his divine kingdom's remains are one step closer to shattering.

"Isn't the power of this Darkness-Free Domain a bit too strong?"

Li Qianyi was not the target of the attack, but at this moment he also felt as if he was being pierced by countless fine needles.

"The Spear Without Darkness"

Xiao Qing then gave another soft shout.

A blazing white spear, composed entirely of pure light, appeared in his hand.

This caused the demon's eyes to change instantly.

If he were hit by that shot, he would probably be instantly vaporized.

"Damn it, no wonder only ladies come to Dongda University to develop their careers."

The demon's voice grew deeper and more menacing.

"Both a sequence 7 and a sequence 9 are so troublesome."

The demon gritted his teeth and took out something.

It was a bright red, round moon-shaped crystal, about the size of an egg, with a dark red halo flowing across its surface.

Inside the crystal, a crescent moon can be faintly seen slowly rotating, each rotation accompanied by subtle spiritual fluctuations.

The demon didn't want to use this.

But when they saw the blazing white spear fire, emitting a dazzling white light, as if it were about to expand into a sun...

All they could do was grit their teeth and crush the round moon crystal.

A crimson full moon then rose, hanging above the shattered divine kingdom, rivaling the pure white light.

Immediately afterwards, a dark red vortex formed beneath him, and the demon's body began to turn transparent, as if it were about to be sucked into the vortex.

Just as Xiao Qing was about to unleash his final tornado, he heard the girl speak.

"It can't be caught."

Before she finished speaking, she pulled a black glove from her waist, put it on, spread her fingers, and aimed it at the fleeing figure. "Steal."

Her hand clenched in mid-air, as if grasping something from the void.

"The Lantern Bearer's gloves? How do you have these?" Xiao Qing's voice was filled with shock.

"Amon is selling them everywhere, don't just stand there, you should steal some too."

The girl turned to urge him, "Normally his things are hidden in the ruins of the divine kingdom, so it's impossible to steal them. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Xiao Qing and Tan Bin suddenly realized what was happening and immediately began to steal.

Li Qianyi had an idea. He used shadows to cover the surface of the gloves and mimicked the three people's movements, shaking them from a distance.

"steal."

A shriveled, dull seed appeared in his palm, lifeless and dull.

"Damn it, you just wait, I won't let you get away with this."

A deep, hoarse voice came from the lingering shadow of the red moon, each word filled with resentment and malice.

"What foreign language is this?" Xiao Qing scratched his head.

"It means he'll come back," the girl whispered.

As the last ray of the red moon's light faded, the demon's traces vanished completely.

The moon shone in the night sky, and only the surrounding ruined villas and ground showed signs of a previous great battle.

"He escaped." Li Qianyi frowned.

"That man is called Lyle Sawyer. He is one of the most valued believers of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and the third of the thirteen demon kings of the 'Blessed Church.' He won't be so easy to kill."

The girl spoke first.

"You're Chinese, right? I remember the Fuk Si Society mainly operates in the United States. How did you get involved with them?" Tan Bin asked.

"My name is Lin Yaqing. I've been studying in the United States and I'm the fairy tale elder of the 'Demon Hunter Society' there, codenamed 'Little Red Riding Hood'."

"My name is Tan Bin, the captain of the Bureau of Fantasy. This is my teammate, Xiao Qing."

Both of them looked at Li Qianyi.

He was still shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see his face.

Li Qianyi said, "Just call me 'Shepherd'."

Anyway, he's already taken on a whole bunch of random identities.

"He bribed a member of the Demon Hunters and stole a 'rare' dungeon item, 'Cinderella's Glass Slipper,' from the organization."

"I came here to track him down."

"Unfortunately, this isn't what I wanted." The girl looked at the object in her hand.

A purple crystal the size of a fingernail appeared in her palm, inside which a twisted humanoid shadow could be vaguely seen struggling silently.

[Fallen Soul of Man: This is a fragment of a corrupted soul from the Abyss of the Soul. Use it to travel to Hell Town and find the devil Orellis to exchange for a special dungeon pass - 'Corrupted Town'. Recommended routes: 'Prisoner', 'Mystic', 'Criminal']

"What did you get?" the girl asked.

"I got a 'Blue-Rare' dungeon item called 'Hunter's Bow'. I can go to a place called Kordu Village and exchange it with a guy named Anderson for a 'Wild Hunt' dungeon card. It's perfect for my route."

Xiao Qing looked down at the bow that had suddenly appeared in his hand, somewhat bewildered.

Tan Bin looked at the shriveled seed in his hand and carefully breathed a sigh of relief. This was exactly what he wanted. "Mine is called 'The Desolate Oak Seed'."

"Me too." Li Qianyi looked at his phone.

You have stolen a special item: the withered oak seed.

[The Seed of the Desolate Oak: If you can find the talking banshee in the Oak Forest of Paradise Lost, you might be able to exchange it for a ticket to the "Abundant Harvest" event. Recommended methods: Pharmacist, Farmer, Villain]

"The Five Grains Harvest Ceremony, is that the task that the Five Grains Mothers are doing?" the girl asked.

"Yes, you know about this too?" Tan Bin asked.

The girl nodded. "My position in the Demon Hunters is not low, and besides, this is related to the changes in our world."

"But I must tell you, the arrival of divinity could be as early as two or three months, or at the latest by the end of the year. Do you believe me?"

Tan Bin frowned. "We've already obtained some key items, which can significantly slow down the progress of the Five Grains Mothers."

"This has nothing to do with you."

The girl sighed softly, "The problem lies in other countries."

"That 'Apostle of Desire' in America has advanced the 'Abyss on Earth' to 98% completion."

"And the Pure White Saint's 'Ark of Redemption' is also nearing its end."

"Whether it's the 'Abyss on Earth,' 'Abundant Harvest,' 'Ark of Atonement,' or any other plan."

"If any one of them is completed, divinity will descend upon this world."

"Then all our efforts have been in vain," Xiao Qing exclaimed in surprise.

"That's not it," Lin Yaqing said. "Wherever the ritual is performed, that side will inevitably suffer a divine impact."

"If we can thwart the Five Grains Mothers' plans, at least the country won't suffer from terrifying monster attacks."

"Why didn't we receive any notification?" Xiao Qing asked.

"The more people know about this, the more danger it will bring."

The girl glanced at Xiao Qing, "Besides, you haven't even reached Sequence 6 yet."

"What is the reason for this?"

"I'm not entirely sure either." The girl shook her head and said, "The Demon Hunter Association president only told me after I became the 'Scroll Professor'."

"We still know too little about that world."

"If you want to know more information, you can only participate in those 'special story dungeons,' but as you know, if you don't know the hidden information, the casualty rate will be very high if you just enter a high-difficulty dungeon."

"Do you have any relevant information?" Lin Yaqing asked Li Qianyi.

"It's probably because the key turning points for many pathways are in sequence 6," Li Qianyi said.

Several people turned their gazes toward him.

"Extraordinary individuals at Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 will not show significant changes compared to ordinary people, but as the sequence advances, the changes will gradually become more obvious, and their abilities will become more powerful, even gradually becoming inhuman."

"For example, that Sequence 6 demon we just saw was the first qualitative change point in the 'Criminal' pathway."

"By the time it reaches Sequence 4, those are already superhuman beings, known in Paradise Lost as 'demigods' or 'saints'."

As Li Qianyi spoke, he looked at Tan Bin and said, "For you who follow the 'Diviner' path, the real turning point is in sequence 5."

"Sequence 5?" Tan Bin was slightly taken aback. "Do you know what Sequence 5 of the Diviner's Path is called?"

"The Master of Puppets"

"Master of Puppetry?" Xiao Qing and the others looked thoughtful.

Lin Yaqing didn't expect the shepherd to know much at first, since his combat strength was about the same as hers.

But to my surprise, the other party actually knew quite a lot of information.

"You know quite a lot," Lin Yaqing said, quite surprised. "You must have cleared quite a few 'special story dungeons,' right?"

Actually, there weren't any.

However, Li Qianyi said calmly, "We are currently working on one of them."

"The main world of Paradise Lost is relatively peaceful. Although there are some plot points, it's generally safe as long as you don't do anything reckless," Lin Yaqing said.

"Dungeons are different; you can easily encounter scripted deaths that quickly deplete your sanity and health, making them extremely dangerous."

"How many dungeons have you cleared?" Xiao Qing asked.

"I cleared two normal and two 'rare' level story dungeons."

"They said that dungeons at Heroic level and above have a high probability of dropping 'Old World Relics,' but unfortunately, it's too difficult to complete alone."

The girl sighed.

"Does Heroic-level or higher drop 'Old World Relics'?"

Li Qianyi couldn't help but ponder, "What level of story instance should 'Elegy for the Setting Sun' belong to?"

"Here are the 'Bound God,' 'Adam,' 'Ammon,' 'Lord of Mysteries,' and the attention of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess.'"

"It's like the old days are having a party."

Li Qianyi's lips twitched.

Is this some kind of mythical-level story dungeon?

"Wait, if I complete the game and get a remnant of Adam's divine kingdom that merges with the Shadow Veil, can I then fantasize about other divine kingdom remnants becoming minor gods?"
