Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 86 Reflections of the Past - The Glorious Sun God

In an office building in Haidu, a middle-aged man in a white shirt looked at the contract he had just signed, feeling relaxed and happy.

He put in a lot of effort to secure this deal, but hard work always pays off.

But when he looked out the window and saw the giant dragon that almost stretched across the sky...

His first thought, however, was not shock.

Instead, it was the boss's刁难 (difficulties/challenges), having to fawn over clients, and the exclusion and targeting by colleagues.

Those pains that he could have laughed off now began to materialize, like a knife constantly cutting into his heart.

He couldn't stop crying; his tears soaked the contract, turning it a dark color. His body convulsed, yet he couldn't suppress the overwhelming sorrow.

They even felt that life was meaningless and had thoughts of dying instead.

In a coffee shop, a girl in a school uniform was crying. She had just broken up with her boyfriend, but when she looked up and saw the phantom dragon outside the window...

But her mind drifted back to all the little moments she shared with her boyfriend in the past.

Her mouth opened wide, then she started laughing out loud, and then she couldn't stop laughing.

She laughed so hard she bent over, tears streaming down her face, until she could only let out hoarse gasps, but she couldn't stop.

Extreme pleasure.

Extreme sadness.

Extreme emotions spread like a virus throughout every corner of the city, infecting every ordinary person who witnessed the dragon.

An invisible pollution at the spiritual level seems to be spreading.

The people of Miracle City witnessed the grey-white dragon that stretched across the sky most clearly.

Faced with such an existence, everything would realize its own insignificance.

When people see Him, they are almost entirely filled with instinctive fear, without the slightest desire to attack.

Li Qianyi knew that he was merely a reflection of the "Dragon God," a fading afterglow that had almost burned out.

"Reflections of the Past - Angelweid, the Imaginary Dragon" (Chaotic Contamination)

[HP: 50000/50000]

[Armor: Deceptive]

Attack Power: 1000

[Illusory/Fantasy: The Illusory Dragon possesses scales that blend reality and illusion, making it immune to damage from attacks with a power level below 500]

[Imagination: The things He imagines will surely materialize; the kingdom He envisions will surely descend upon the material world; the future He proclaims will surely unfold and become reality.]

[Chaotic Erosion: Encountering unknown erosion, divine symbols will soon form on the body's surface]

[The Mark of the Root: Sealed by the power of the Lord of Mysteries, He is still some time away from descending into the real world.]

[Current Status: Attack available in 3 minutes]

"A divine symbol!"

Li Qianyi raised his head and looked at the huge gray-white dragon.

On its majestic and imposing body, lines seemed to be interwoven on each of the house-sized scales.

It seems as if it is about to be woven into some kind of symbol possessing unique knowledge and power.

Fortunately, something seems to be preventing the formation of those symbols, and they have not brought about any real qualitative change or disaster.

It is a divine symbol that is forming, but not yet fully formed.

"If this were to fully form, it would be comparable to a Sequence 4 or even Sequence 3 Saint—"

At the same time, a task appeared on Li Qianyi's phone.

[You have triggered the quest "From the Primal Erosion"]

[Mission Description: The "Reflection of the Past - Imaginary Dragon," influenced by the will of the "Primordial God," is attempting to enter the real world from Paradise Lost. If allowed to complete this, the vast majority of humanity in the entire Sea City will suffer spiritual corruption, either going insane or dying, and bringing about a direct descent of divinity.]

[Mission Objective: Destroy the "Imaginary Dragon Reflection" corrupted by the "Primordial God" within 15 minutes and prevent it from entering the mortal world.]

[Consequences of mission failure: Divinity will immediately descend upon the mortal realm, causing massive casualties in the city of Haidu]

"Indeed, it is the work of the primordial God."

Li Qianyi took a deep breath.

He realized from the beginning that this battle for the "old family legacy" might be something unusual.

But no one expected that the original God would do such a big thing without saying a word.

He turned to look at Tan Bin and the others, and found that these members of the Fantasy Bureau were trembling uncontrollably, and could barely hold their weapons.

In this state, coupled with the possibility of divine power, they certainly wouldn't be able to face the upcoming battle.

Li Qianyi sighed inwardly, knowing they couldn't help him anymore. He quickly said, "You can't handle this anymore. Get out of Miracle City now."

He himself possesses the fourth fragment of the Profane Tablet, the key to the veil of shadow, and is less affected by these divine symbols.

This could include ordinary yet extraordinary individuals like Tan Bin.

Even confronting incomplete mythical creature forms will lead to loss of control and death.

"You're going to deal with this guy yourself?" Tan Bin's voice trembled, but his brows were furrowed.

He knew the shepherd was hiding some secrets, but he simply couldn't figure out how to deal with such a massive dragon, such a terrifying monster.

This was many times more terrifying than the fallen god he had imagined.

But he had barely finished speaking.

Maniacal laughter rang out from everyone's ears.

Wang Jun, standing to the side, was gesturing wildly, his expression somewhat sickly, uttering indistinct words.

"Sequence 6—Hypnotist, Main Ingredients—Pituitary gland of a young mind dragon, or spinal fluid of a black hunting lizard, fruit of a psychedelic bell tree......."

"6

"Supporting materials: 80 ml of blood from a young spiritual dragon, 3 scales from a young spiritual dragon, 1 belladonna berry, and 1 mirror that has been placed in your room for more than three months..."

'

"I understand, I understand, this is a Sequence 6 Hypnotist's potion recipe..."

"7

"Wang Jun, wake up!" Jiang Wang roared.

This sudden turn of events was already unsettling enough, and having a troublemaker around to stir things up was truly annoying.

But Wang Jun seemed not to hear him.

He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, grayish-white veins showing on his face, and drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, looking like a rabid patient who had lost control.

He even displayed an extremely strong desire to attack others.

With a bang.

Wang Jun collapsed limply to the ground.

Wang Guodong's face turned pale. He withdrew his hand, his brows furrowed.

He didn't know what had happened to Wang Jun, but he still knocked him unconscious as quickly as possible.

Li Qianyi glanced at Wang Guodong and said in a low voice, "This is why I told you to leave here."

"This dragon is corrupted, and he is an extraordinary being in the audience pathway who is most affected by this dragon."

"And you can't even hold your weapons properly now; you'll only hold me back here."

The Imaginary Dragon holds the power over the mind, though this is now merely a projection of Him, its power diminished many times over.

But it's not something that ordinary, unremarkable individuals like them can directly confront.

"Where did you get all this knowledge from?"

"Don't worry about that," Li Qianyi shook his head and added, "If I'm not mistaken, the real world may also be experiencing abnormal influences right now."

"There is invisible pollution spreading."

"That's right." Xie Tang put down his phone, his brows furrowed. "This dragon not only appeared here, it also appeared in the sky above Haidu."

"What?"

A look of disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.

"Can this matter be kept quiet?"

"This is no longer a question of whether or not to blockade. If this matter is not handled properly, it could even lead to destruction." Xie Tang took a deep breath. "Some of the residents who saw the dragon showed extreme sadness or joy, but in the end, they all showed a strong tendency to self-destruct."

"Many team members have already gone to handle the situation."

"So what do we do now?"

Xie Tang didn't speak, but instead looked at Li Qianyi, who was shrouded in shadow, and asked, "Shepherd, what do you rely on to deal with this dragon?"

"Yes," Li Qianyi said calmly.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

"inconvenient."

Xie Tang took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "No matter what the final outcome is, we are very grateful that you stood up at this time."

"But please understand, we can't place all our hopes on you."

"We will then try to gather more than 10 believers in the divine faith."

"If you fail on our end, we will try to pray to the gods of Paradise Lost and ask for divine intervention."

Li Qianyi paused, then nodded. "Having this backup plan is good."

"He holds the divine judgment of light and shadow," so the probability of failure is not high.

However, for members of the Fantasy Bureau, it is indeed necessary to make multiple preparations.

After all, it concerns the fate of everyone in the entire city.

How could we place all our hopes on him just because he's an outsider whose background we don't know?

"It's a pity, it would be great if the team leaders were here," Jiang Wang sighed.

"At least you won't be all alone."

Tan Bin paused for a moment, then suddenly took out a flesh-colored glove from his backpack.

"I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeve, but I'll lend you this first."

A thought struck Li Qianyi: a writhing hunger?

"This is a loan from you; you have to pay it back."

Tan Bin's lips twitched. "This thing has gone up in price. It used to cost 1000 Divine Faith per day, but this time it's 5000."

one day."

Li Qianyi was taken aback. Could the price still be raised?

But he soon seemed to have found the reason.

[You gain the Wriggling Hunger] (Orange - Hero)

[The wriggling hunger resonates with the blasphemous cross and the divine judgment of light and shadow]

Based on your uniqueness and status, you may attempt to summon the past reflection of the ancient sun god.

"You can play it like that?"

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Li Qianyi suppressed his inner thoughts.

"Is that so?" Tan Bin scratched his head.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Can he really manage alone?" Wang Guodong asked in a deep voice, carrying Wang Jun on his back. "Aren't we being a bit too irresponsible?"

He doesn't particularly like guys who are out of control.

For these leaders of the Bureau of Imagination, it was far too irresponsible to let the shepherd face such a terrifying monster alone.

"I don't know." Tan Bin shook his head. "But as Captain Xie said, what we should be doing now is collecting enough divine faith."

"If he can handle it, then we'll deal with the practical problems and not hold him back."

"If he can't handle it either, then we need to activate the backup plan immediately."

The group were not the type to linger, and they left quickly.

Li Qianyi gazed at the enormous gray-white dragon king in the sky.

"The Imaginary Dragon, Angelweid."

"I wonder what Erihog would think if he were still alive and saw his projection being used like this."

Thinking of this, Li Qianyi turned slightly to the side and saw Gabriel and the other two appear not far away at some point, smiling at him.

"It seems you've received a mission to bring him into the real world, right?"

Li Qianyi said calmly.

"Although it was somewhat unexpected, you guessed correctly."

Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "As long as we assist this person in descending into the real world, our storyline mission progress will be completed instantly."

"Oh, then you'll be very disappointed," Li Qianyi said.

"Do you know?"

Gabriel suddenly said, "The veil of shadow over you should have been mine."

"I've always wanted to get it back."

"Unfortunately, I couldn't find an opportunity, but now, thanks to the Father God's grace, this opportunity has finally come."

Immediately afterwards, pairs of wings appeared behind Gabriel, and his aura began to rise steadily.

[You have triggered the quest: Falling Fantasy and Reality]

[Mission Description: The "Reflection of the Past - Imaginary Dragon" embodies the will of the primordial God, who yearns to descend upon the material world. As His faithful follower, you must prevent the attacks of the blasphemers.]

[Mission Requirements: Help the "Reflection of the Past - Imaginary Dragon" to enter reality from illusion]

[Quest Rewards: Divinity Descends into Reality, 1 Selectable Sequence 5 Potion, 1 Key to Emptiness and Illusion]

[Note: The "Dragon of Imagination" will bestow blessings upon you.]

You have no idea how powerful we can be right now.

[You have acquired imaginary weapons]

[Your rank has been temporarily elevated to Saint.]

Your virtual health is temporarily increased by 3000.

Your attack power is temporarily increased by 500.

[You have gained Armor Deception], you gain an additional armor bonus of 300.

The ancient divine spell "Kingdom of Judgment" has been enhanced.

A ring of scorching, intense light, as if purifying everything, spread outwards from Gabriel's center.

Li Qianyi stood there, his shadow gradually dissipating under the rings of light.

You are affected by the Holy Light.

[Shadow Incarnation - Wanderer Ineffective]

Then Gabriel and the other two saw a figure wearing a gray robe with his face shrouded in gray mist.

"The Dream Weaver of Different Colors? It's you!"

Lyle and Gabriel's expressions changed drastically.

Gabriel maintained his smile, but his voice had turned cold.

"To use a phrase from your country, our fate is truly wondrous!"

The Dream Weaver of Different Colors is the Shepherd; he has no more reason to let the other party go.

But what he heard was Li Qianyi's clear and crisp voice.

"Do you know that true brilliance should illuminate darkness and bring salvation to the world?"

"Instead of using power to commit ubiquitous atrocities."

"That kind of radiance is not radiance."

It was at this moment that Su Mi noticed the sword in Li Qianyi's hand.

It was a longsword shaped like a cross, seemingly woven from shadows and pure white.

The laws of light and shadow become blurred around this sword.

The sword radiated a unique glow befitting an epic-level item.

"Watch out, Gabriel! That's an epic item!"

Millet was surprised.

Gabriel and Lyle's expressions also changed.

Epic item?

Hero-level items are extremely rare now, and most of them are one-time use items. This shepherd actually managed to obtain an epic-level item.

Where did he get it from?

But the shepherd seemed to have no intention of telling them; he simply raised the long sword that resembled a cross.

The deep sound of prayer echoed in everyone's ears.

"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!"

Li Qianyi's voice, carried by the ocean of the collective subconscious, entered everyone's dreams and resonated deep within everyone's heart.

This includes many of the leaders of the Fantasy Bureau who have just left the dream and woken up.

"The Creator of everything?"

"Is this the primordial God?"

"No, no..."

'

At the same time, the cross-shaped longsword emitted a pure beam of light as clear as crystal.

Beams of light refracted from his hands, traversing the ocean of the collective unconscious, people's dreams, and penetrating into reality.

Those painful, extreme emotions all calmed down in the face of this warm glow.

"You spread the sun's radiance."

[You attempted to summon the reflection of your past life—the ancient sun god]
