Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

The entire square looked as if it had been shattered into countless cracks.

Countless tiny black hole lights and shadows appeared in every corner of the square.

Space is collapsing, and everything seems to be tearing apart.

"Time is reshaped, the universe is punished, reverently honor the Heavenly Venerable of Blessing and Prosperity!"

With Li Qianyi's low shout.

"boom!"

The darkness surrounding the primordial God sculpture erupted instantly, forming a spherical void that no one could approach.

The entire sculpture of the primordial God turned into a pile of dust almost instantly.

You dealt 99999 damage to the Primordial God statue.

You have disrupted the Ritual of the Crouching Chaos.

You have gained 50 units of Blasphemous Power.

Your story progress has increased by 30%.

[The original God's favorability towards you has decreased by 99%.]

You damaged the "Primordial God" sculpture located at the site of the Church of Bones.

You have gained 10 units of Blasphemous Power.

[The original God's favorability towards you has decreased by 99%.]

The fog was thick, and Li Qianyi ignored the steadily declining favorability rating.

His yellow and black robes swayed as he looked down at the void that was gradually returning to normal.

This is the Heavenly Venerable's Killing Order.

He altered the order of time, seized fate from the universe, and calamified the void, crossing the distant heavens.

If it weren't for an unseen force limiting this killing order to a certain area...

Li Qianyi suspected that this move might destroy the entire town.

As the primordial God's statue shattered, the all-encompassing ocean seemed to sink into oblivion as well.

Among the pile of powder, Li Qianyi saw a dark fragment of a stone slab that emitted a luminous glow.

The fourth fragment of the blasphemous stone tablet.

Li Qianyi wondered, "Where are the fragments of that miracle?"

Just then, Li Qianyi heard a slight cracking sound coming from his face, from the mask.

As the mask shattered, his power vanished completely.

This left Li Qianyi feeling somewhat lost.

Your "Face of Blessing and Prosperity" has expired.

You have obtained the 'Fragment of Miracle' - 'The Broken Mask'.

The Broken Mask: It carries the unique will of a great being, and it brought a new dawn to all things before the distant end of days.

Li Qianyi watched as the mask slowly floated up, eventually transforming into a portal of light that was imprinted on the fragment of the blasphemous stone slab.

Only then did he step forward and pick up the fragment of the blasphemous stone tablet.

[You have obtained a Mythical-grade special item: 'Fragment of the Fourth Blasphemous Tablet I (Sealed)']

[Fourth Blasphemous Slab Fragment (Sealed): Mythical-grade special item. This is a remnant left behind by an unknown being after their fall. If the remaining seven fragments can be found, they may trigger a mysterious power.]

Your story progress has increased by 10%.

Current main story progress: 50%

"Destroying the Chaos Ritual can actually increase the progress by 30%."

"This sculpture of the primordial God must be of great significance to His resurrection."

Li Qianyi pondered.

"Therefore, the key to the so-called 'Night at the Circus' lies in this 'Primordial God' sculpture."

Now they have obtained a seemingly extremely important fragment of the Profaned Stone Tablet, and have also destroyed the Chaos Ritual.

Tonight's mission can be considered a complete success.

But soon, Li Qianyi's excitement dissipated.

Tiny specks of light, seemingly guided by some unknown force, danced and flew towards them.

Like lost fireflies, they slowly gathered in Li Qianyi's palm, eventually transforming into a translucent crystal.

You have collected 24 'Sad Souls'.

[The Sorrowful Souls: Human souls, if left unattended, will return to the embrace of eternal darkness in 3 hours.]

"This thing." Li Qianyi was stunned.

"It's the souls of those children."

Li Qianyi thought they would have completely disappeared, but he didn't expect that such crystals would remain.

Will it disappear if left untreated?

Li Qianyi couldn't understand the meaning of those words.

In any case, what's done is done. Can he bring the dead back to life?

Let's not talk about the cruelty of the mysterious world.

If there were any way to bring these people back to life, how should their families and the public handle the situation?

Was this resurrection a miracle or a shock to their families?

Whether they will be captured and thoroughly studied by laboratory or even players from the original God faction is anyone's guess.

Li Qianyi thought for a moment and decided that perhaps the only way to let them find peace was to return them to the embrace of eternal darkness.

Just then, a message popped up on his screen.

[You have triggered the quest: The Possibility of Salvation]

[Mission Description: The grieving souls seem to still have some attachment to this world]

[Mission Requirements: Find a reasonable way to reintegrate these lost souls into the mortal world.]

[Task Reward: ???]

[Note: This is a special choice that could very well affect your future. Please choose carefully.]

"Oh, this..."

Li Qianyi scratched his head.

Soon, a voice rang in his ears.

"The Red Queen has temporarily retired. Although Fantasy Paradise will still appear for a while, it will not pay much attention to you anymore."

Li Qianyi turned his head and saw that Klein had been standing beside him at some point. He subconsciously looked at the crystal in his hand and asked,

"Can they be resurrected?"

Klein glanced at Li Qianyi and said:

"You know, even a god like the Fool can't truly bring ordinary people back to life."

"If the 'Fool' can't do it, then what about the 'Lord of Mysteries,' the 'Ruler of the Spirit World,' who symbolizes the 'inconceivable'?" Li Qianyi asked again.

"It's usually very difficult."

Li Qianyi frowned slightly, but he quickly realized what was going on.

It's generally not possible, but what about in special circumstances?

He looked at Klein, then saw the other man smile, his expression turning serious as he said:

"To resurrect them, you need to solve the following three problems."

"First, solve the problem of the inability of divinity to descend into the real world."

Li Qianyi paused, though divinity could not descend into reality.

But there is one place that can receive divine power: the 'Old World Ruins,' the remnants of the divine kingdom.

And he happened to have this thing.

Klein Moretti continued, "Secondly, bodies that have been dead for too long cannot be restored, so after you leave here, you must collect the children's bodies within one hour."

"Okay." Li Qianyi nodded; this was actually a minor issue.

"Third, although the circumstances are special, the fact that an ordinary person can be brought back to life still transcends conventional methods and falls into the category of a 'miracle'."

"In particular, we must ensure that they can return to the real world in a reasonable manner, without any disturbance or impact."

"If you are to do this, you will not only have to use up a large amount of accumulated divine faith and blasphemous power."

"Most importantly, it will also consume my chance to return to Paradise Lost next time."

Li Qianyi was alright after hearing what was said earlier.

After all, divine faith is merely a general equivalent created by the original God in the game.

It is a universal currency created to limit the power of many ancient beings while benefiting the survival of low-sequence players.

It's important, yet not that important.

But when he heard the second condition, he fell silent.

The difficulty of this dungeon is undoubtedly at least Mythic level, based on current observations.

If it weren't for the "Face of Blessing and Profound Yellow," this statue would have been impossible to destroy on its own.

Adam remains in the Temple of Sunset, and although the Red Queen has temporarily retired, no one can predict what will happen next.

This is practically using your trump card to secure the survival of others.

Normally, Li Qianyi would not choose to do this.

But is this task really just a rumor, or is it some kind of hint?

Is it worth it?

In Anning Town, the night wind rustled Li Qianyi's temples.

He turned to look at Klein Moretti, who was wearing a black trench coat.

Looking at this mysterious lord who was currently slightly taller than himself.

He had black hair, brown eyes, and wore a trench coat and a top hat.

Although he was still so young, one could almost see a hint of vicissitude in his eyes.

After a moment, Li Qianyi nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Are you sure?" Amon's voice slowly rang in his ear.

The angel of salvation, wearing a monocle and a pointed round hat, appeared beside Li Qianyi, and said with a half-smile,

"They are complete strangers to you, and they will even forget you after you save them."

"You might bump into each other on the street or meet at a restaurant, but you'll still be complete strangers."

"Are you sure you want to waste a precious opportunity for the Lord of Mysteries to descend, all for their sake?"

Li Qianyi certainly knew all this.

He not only didn't know these dead people, but his regret over the deaths of these children remained largely on paper.

Just like many people who see news reports of someone dying, they will only shake their heads or make a few comments.

Aside from the closest family members, who can truly empathize and be willing to do anything to bring the other person back to life?

Even when he first heard these words from Xie Tang, Li Qianyi's emotions did not fluctuate much.

Just as a wealthy person wouldn't give away all their wealth to help others improve their living standards just because they are poor.

"But some things are just not quite the same," Li Qianyi said slowly.

"On the path to becoming extraordinary, one must constantly weigh the pros and cons of various things."

Does this mean that we are also getting closer to them in the truest sense?

"Today, for the sake of the plans ahead, we have to sacrifice some people who could have been saved."

"So, is it possible to sacrifice even more people tomorrow for the sake of the plans that follow?"

"In the end, we will wonder what we were striving for, and we will forever forget what we wanted to protect."

Most importantly, this task has been introduced. Are there really players who can resist the allure of the task and skip all the CGs in the game?

Li Qianyi thought for a moment and said, "If I don't save them, they will really have nothing left."

"And for me, even if you are not here next time, I know that you will still be standing behind me."

Klein smiled and said, "Since you've made your decision, here's the last thing you need to know: the name of the person you wish to know."

Li Qianyi was somewhat puzzled.

But he heard Klein Moretti speak slowly.

"Lord of Mysteries, King of Time and Space."

"You are the guiding light for the destiny of all living beings in the world."

"You are the master of miracles and the incredible, the sovereign of mystery and change."

"You are the supreme God, the ruler of the infinite spiritual realm, and the embodiment of the source of all things."

This is the complete name of the true pillar-level ancient times.

It elucidates the most essential symbolism and is also the highest-level incantation.

You have obtained the Pillar-level title of 'Lord of Mysteries'.

"Go quickly."

As Klein's voice rang out, Li Qianyi's figure slowly disappeared.

Amon stared at the figure vanishing into thin air, adjusted his monocle, and said, "The Lord of Mysteries is that powerful? How come I didn't know?"

"You've never been the Lord of Mysteries, so of course you wouldn't know," Klein Moretti said with a smile.

Amon: "Hehe."

Klein Moretti looked at the golden, divine symbol in his palm and said softly,

"What is a miracle?"

......

Xie Tang frowned.

They were both furious at the killer's cruelty and heartbroken by the sheer number of deaths.

Just then, a man in a black trench coat walked in, looking anxious.

"Captain, something terrible has happened! Some guy from who-knows-where has taken away all the children's bodies."

"What?" Xie Tang stood up.

It's already troublesome enough that they can't find the killer, but if even their remains disappear, how are they going to explain this to the children's parents?

"The man was shrouded in shadow. As soon as he came in, he said that he could resurrect the children and that he wanted to take them away."

The man looked anxious. "But how could this be? I didn't agree. I even suspect he might be the murderer."

"They wanted to use those corpses as sacrifices to achieve some ulterior motive."

"But he was incredibly powerful; I couldn't stop him at all. He manipulated the shadows and took away all the children's corpses."
