Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Shanghai, Four Seasons Hotel.

Tan Bin had just finished showering when he received an urgent phone call.

"Team Leader Tan, are you free right now?"

Xie Tang's voice came through: "Someone who looks like a cult member took away all the children's bodies."

"Cultists?"

Tan Bin knew that some cultists would collect corpses and offer them as sacrifices to evil gods, so he wasn't too surprised.

He frowned and asked, "What are the other person's characteristics?"

"He manipulates shadows, so his height and weight are unknown, but he is very strong, at least at Sequence 7 or above."

"Manipulating shadows?"

Upon hearing this term, Tan Bin's first thought was not of anyone else, but of the "shepherd" with whom he had met several times.

But the other party is a follower of eternal darkness, a person who maintains order.

It is neither possible nor necessary to disturb the children's remains.

Then he heard Xie Tang's voice.

"The man claimed to have a way to resurrect the children and save them."

"But you and I both know that even in that game world, even gods would find it difficult to bring someone back to life."

"Not to mention that he is an extraordinary individual, even if his strength is not weak."

Tan Bin frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Would a cult member openly take a corpse from the police station in exchange for a sacrifice?

He could have easily carried out an assassination and obtained the item from elsewhere at a lower cost.

Thinking about it this way, if the other side is on the side of order, it's not impossible that they want to resurrect those children.

Even from his perspective, the idea of ​​someone coming back to life was far too incredible.

He was worried that the other party would summon monsters, but he was even more worried that if the other party could actually resurrect the dead, it would cause a huge uproar.

Is this really a good thing?

"So, I have a feeling he might be a madman on the verge of losing control."

"Not necessarily." Tan Bin shook his head. "Let's find him first."

Tan Bin, along with Xiao Qing, met up with Xie Tang and the others at the foot of the TV tower.

"Captain, could the one manipulating the shadows be the Shepherd?" Xiao Qing suddenly asked.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out," Tan Bin said.

"He has many secrets, and no one knows what strange things he might come up with."

"Can he really bring the dead back to life?"

"Maybe."

One of the members of the Shanghai Fantasy Bureau listened to their conversation with some confusion: "Who exactly is this shepherd you're talking about?"

Before Xiao Qing could answer, game notifications suddenly popped up on their phones.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qing exclaimed in disbelief, "Holy crap, it really is a shepherd, and I've even triggered a quest."

[You triggered the task: Delay]

[You have triggered the quest: Prevent Gabriel from disrupting the 'Shepherd's' completion of the 'Dead' resurrection ritual]

[Quest Rewards: 200 Divine Faith, +3 Favorability with the Lord of Mysteries, +3 Favorability with Eternal Darkness]

"The mission has been triggered; we all need to help him complete it."

"This..." one of the team members said, somewhat bewildered, his voice filled with disbelief, "Is there really some power that can bring the dead back to life?"

Xie Tang took a deep breath and shook her head. "I don't know."

"But whether it's true or not, the most important thing now is to find their whereabouts."

Following the instructions on their phones, the group quickly arrived at a corner of the book plaza, where they all saw a phantom-like shadowy curtain.

As soon as they entered the shadowy curtain, they saw a magnificent palace made of shadows.

One after another, cold bodies were placed in the center of the giant hall.

Then they saw a pile of golden divine faith and a pile of blasphemous power.

The shadowy figure placed a series of extraordinary characteristics together in the center.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xie Tang stepped forward and asked.

"Complete the mission and revive them," Li Qianyi said calmly.

"You should know the principle behind this. Even ordinary gods cannot bring people back to life." Xie Tang tried his best to keep his tone calm.

"You can just watch."

Li Qianyi turned to Tan Bin and Xiao Qing beside him and said, "Captain Tan, could you ask her not to bother me for now?"

Xie Tang frowned slightly as she spoke, but Tan Bin, who was beside her, grabbed her hand and shook his head.

She took a deep breath, but looking at the message on her phone, she finally decided to believe it.

Just then, a voice rang out, elegant and composed.

"I sensed the shadow and the power of corruption from afar, and just as I suspected, there were indeed traces of cultists here."

With a smile on his face, the handsome blond youth appeared beside the group at some point.

A glint of greed flashed across his face as he gazed at the colossal hall formed by shadows.

Tan Bin stepped forward first, blocking Gabriel's path, his voice calm and steady. "This is our own business, please don't interfere."

"What did I just hear?" Gabriel asked with a smile. "I actually heard one of your Bureau of Paradoxes captains say that we shouldn't interfere with cultists' rituals."

"You intend to embrace an evil god? How can you so readily allow a cultist to perform sacrificial rituals?"

Gabriel smiled, yet rings of pure white, intense light emanated from his body.

"I'm sorry, but as a faithful believer in God, I cannot allow such evil and depravity to continue. This time, I will lend you a helping hand."

Gabriel smiled, and the pure white light emanated a sacred and intense aura, as if a pure white world was about to be revealed.

This caused the surrounding shadows to begin to melt away and recede.

"And it's free."

As Gabriel finished speaking, a dazzling light appeared behind him.

A corner of the ancient ruins, "Pure White Paradise," has been revealed, driving away many shadows.

"The Ancient Divine Art 'Heavenly Judgment'"

[The ancient divine spell "Heavenly Judgment"!]

[Heavenly Judgment: Inflicts judgment on the target, dealing 30 damage per second, and dealing 3x damage to Shadow and Corrupted Powers.]

"You dare?"

Tan Bin gritted his teeth, resigned to the thought that all members of the Jinling City Bureau of Fantasy would be eating dirt next month.

He put on the flesh-colored glove, but he had not yet launched an attack.

Then they saw the holy light that was about to fall freeze in mid-air, and the smile on Gabriel's face was frozen.

A clear sound of prayer and incantation rang in everyone's ears.

"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 realms, the embodiment of the origin of all things..."

The incantation echoed throughout the entire curtain of shadow, and also echoed in everyone's ears.

The blazing light that was about to fall vanished with a "bang" and turned into wisps of blue smoke.

Then everyone witnessed an extremely shocking scene: above the entire shadowy curtain, it was as if some giant hand was slowly pulling back the curtain.

Above the gray fog, which is older than the ancient, a phantom castle emerges.

They saw a pair of hands, hands wearing black gloves.

He seemed to be able to manipulate everything, control change, and control miracles.

Everyone saw a tiny ray of light emanating from the small crystal in Li Qianyi's hand.

They found their positions, and then, under the manipulation of those hands, they entered those bodies one by one.

Xie Tang and Tan Bin stared blankly at the sky.

Above that illusory sky, it seemed as if a gentle deity was casting its gaze upon us.

I live this life without purpose or demands, only desiring a few gifts and miracles.

Li Qianyi looked at those bodies that had been dormant, now breathing and beating again.

His expression didn't change much.

[You have consumed 3500 Divine Faith]

You consumed 90 units of Blasphemy Power.

Some of the extraordinary properties in your package were offered as a sacrifice.

You summoned a miracle.

Your compatibility with the 'Key to the Shadow Veil' has been further enhanced. Current compatibility: 99%

[You have unlocked the Ancient Divine Art IV - Fallen Angel]

"What is a miracle?" Everyone heard the shepherd's whisper.

"To come back from the dead is a miracle!"

A tall, black obelisk, carrying a heavy weight, appeared in Li Qianyi's palm at some unknown time.

This was formed from that crystallized soul.

You have obtained the Miracle Item: Monument for Ferrying Souls (Quality Unknown)

[Effect: The obelisk that carries the soul's faith helps you bear the weight your soul cannot bear. When you decide to carry the blasphemous stone tablet, it will bear the weight of the chaotic sea with you.]
