Chapter 146: Chapter 144: God of Victory

No wonder Yang Qizhou was startled. He had been calmly scrolling through ’texts’ in his apartment when suddenly he found himself in a place grotesque, twisted, and bizarre—a place resembling a chaotic scrawl created by some brat wielding a paintbrush on a canvas labeled "Starry Sky." Accepting such a scene with composure would be nothing short of madness.

But he recovered quickly, realizing the reason not long afterward...

"It’s the [Deceit World]. After the game character consumed the ’Desecration Potion,’ its effects transferred over to me, the ’player’."

"So, I ended up in the Star Realm."

That made Yang Qizhou uneasy as he recalled the content in the ’Star Spirit Chapter.’

The expansive Star Realm houses the entire universe’s ’authorities’ and ’symbols.’ Each star represents the bare minimum unit of an ’authority’ and a ’symbol.’ When someone embraces ’divinity’ and genuinely integrates an ’authority fragment,’ the corresponding star will light up.

This marks the beginning of the spirit rank.

It is also the genesis of deityhood.

"’Wizards’ are desecrators of divinity as well as shepherds of the divine. In a way, they are the ’God above Gods’ and must therefore undergo this process as well."

Yang Qizhou was lost deep in thought when a revelation suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He followed the guidance and gazed toward a star.

The once-dim star began to brighten, and in the vision of his left eye, a figure bathed in pure light—an entity seemingly embodying certain symbols of the universe—became increasingly clear.

This being was the product of the ’Desecration Potion,’ reliant on the ’Ancient Roots.’ This being was... the God of Victory.

Just as this thought emerged in Yang Qizhou’s mind, a flood of immense information overwrote his consciousness.

And then,

he felt his body plummeting downward. No matter the method, he couldn’t stop the fall. When his eyes jolted open, he was back in his rented apartment.

"So, I just went for a tour around the Star Realm?" Thinking about the twisted, bizarre starry sky, Yang Qizhou found it rather intriguing.

Going there again might be nice.

Quickly, Yang Qizhou redirected his attention away from that strange place. Remembering the flood of information that had been shoved into his mind before leaving the Star Realm, he dove into it, murmuring to himself that it must be related to the God of Victory.

As it turns out, his guess was spot on. The overwhelming amount of information contained the full honorable name of the God of Victory, along with its corresponding authority, symbol, abilities, rank, divine domain, and more.

Divine Name: God of Victory

Rank: Star Spirit

Full Honorable Name: The One Who Tilts the Golden Balance, Keeper of Good Fortune, Nemesis of Calamities. The Trifoliate Flower represents your authority, and the Light Leaving Grass is your symbol.

Current progress of consuming the ’Winning God Potion’: 3%

Consumption progress required to advance to the next rank: 15%.

Daily maintenance cost of the current rank in Old Sacrifice: 2000/day.

Advancing the rank cost in Old Sacrifice: 30000/3%.

Star Spirit Rank Abilities: Faith Collection, Creating Divine Domain, Divine Descent Pray, Divine Domain Protection, Star Spirit Power.

Winning God Authority: Gathering Fortune, Undefeated, Miracle.

...

...

Yang Qizhou didn’t continue digesting the information because he had been stunned speechless.

"It turns out the game character has only consumed 3% of the ’Desecration Potion,’ and to keep progressing, it requires more Old Sacrifice at the rate of... 30,000 Old Sacrifices per 3% of progress."

"Well, that’s fine—I mean, leveling up using experience points is pretty normal."

"But why does maintaining the current rank also require Old Sacrifice? Didn’t the Harvest Goddess say that ’Wizards’ aren’t polluted by ’divinity’? Yet now this ’God of Victory’ seems no different from how divine entities must consume Old Sacrifice to resist corruption brought by divinity."

"Could she have been lying to me?"

With 8,000 Old Sacrifices in his possession and an extra 80 Destiny Fire Bottles snagged for free from the Destiny Store, Yang Qizhou had thought he’d achieved financial freedom. But now, upon reevaluation, these resources amounted to barely a drop in the bucket.

Even sustaining his Star Spirit rank would only last him 8 days.

Absolutely... too broke.

"But still, the unlocked abilities do seem objectively decent."

"For such a hefty price to finally transition into a Wizard, and with future consumption of Old Sacrifices required to maintain it—God of Victory, God of Victory, you better not let me down."

Muttering under his breath, Yang Qizhou once again focused his attention inward.

...

...

Star Spirit Rank Abilities...

Faith Collection: When believers sincerely recite the complete honorable name of the God of Victory, you accrue an equivalent amount of Old Sacrifice. This substance contains the purest essence of their personhood, fused with symbols, necessary to counter divinity and resist insanity.

Creating Divine Domain: You may designate a location and place a Holy Emblem representing the God of Victory above it. That area will then become your sovereign domain.

Divine Descent Pray: When believers recite the complete honorable name of the God of Victory, you can use it as a medium to communicate with them and descend certain powers.

Divine Domain Protection: When a location has a sufficient number of believers, you can leverage the immense power of faith to conceptually classify it as your divine domain, shielding believers from harm using your authority.

Star Spirit Power: As a Star Spirit, you possess the minimum rank immunity against the effects of ’common items’ or ’ancient objects,’ partial resistance against ’superior items’ or ’ancient objects,’ and greatly enhanced efficacy when using them under the Star Spirit rank empowerment.

Yang Qizhou tore open a bag of spicy sticks he had picked up for free from Ding Xiaolan, thoughtfully munching away. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

"So that’s how it works. ’Spirit Rank’ is essentially the inherent talent of divinity. No matter who it is or what authority they select, as long as they ascend and reach this rank, these abilities are granted."

He then shifted his attention deeper into the specifics of these abilities. "As suspected, the source of Old Sacrifice stems from harvesting devout faith from followers."

Back when he first encountered the [Deceit World], Yang Qizhou had pondered a question...

With the Ancient Lands being so utterly terrifying and strange—the sun unviewable, the night unendurable, dreams fraught with calamity, storms filled with horrors, and even gods constantly at risk of demise—why would these divine entities still willingly protect the insignificant, ant-like believers?

Through the Harvest Goddess’s descriptions, he later learned that the Wings of Greed used to be an Ancient God. Faced with the obliteration of its followers at the hands of the Sin King God, it had no choice but to relinquish its divine rank in order to free itself from divine corruption. Based on this, Yang Qizhou speculated that Old Sacrifice was the material manifestation of faith.

At the time, he couldn’t confirm it, but now...

The game character—or rather, Yang Qizhou himself—successfully shepherded the God of Victory, acquiring the base abilities of divine entities and unveiling the truth behind Old Sacrifice.

This revelation brought back descriptions from the Jackal and Lena about Old Sacrifice, and Yang Qizhou couldn’t help but smirk...

They were both right—and wrong at the same time.

Old Sacrifice wasn’t merely obtained via fulfilling divine commissions or hunting Divine Envoys, nor was it granted simply by passionately winning over the gods. In truth, its authentic origin lies in the fervent faith of followers toward divine entities.

"Creating Divine Domain and Divine Descent Pray—there’s not much to parse here. As the names imply, one establishes your domain while the other channels your oracle through devout prayers."

"Divine Domain Protection... This ability’s pretty impressive."

Yang Qizhou thought of Fire Stealing Village. With the Divine Domain protection of the Fire Stealing Ancient God, its villagers managed to survive amidst the terrifying wilderness where cunning and horror coexist. Sadly, after the Fire Stealing Ancient God succumbed to calamity in a dream, its Divine Domain faded, almost disappearing entirely.

Lastly, Star Spirit Power.

"Immunity against effects from ’common items,’ resistance against ’superior items,’ and significantly enhanced potency when using ’miracle items’ and ’ancient objects’—"

"Isn’t this basically the ’Boss Template’?"

"I’ve finally escaped being a weakling."

Onward.

Yang Qizhou delved into the God of Victory’s authorities again.

...

...

Winning God Authority...

Gathering Fortune: As the God of Victory, you possess the ability to gather ’good luck,’ even by stealing others’ fortunes.

Undefeated: As the God of Victory, misfortune will never befall you.

Miracle: You can burn all accumulated good luck to transform an impossible event into reality.

...

...

These abilities... are pretty damn awesome.

Yang Qizhou muttered to himself,

"Stealing someone else’s ’good luck’ might not deal immediate, destructive damage, but in some ways, it’s even more terrifying than direct harm. After all, people whose luck has hit rock bottom might experience a real-life ’Final Destination.’ Worse still, they might even get struck by lightning after dying."

"As for the second authority, ’Undefeated,’ where misfortune never touches me... hahahaha, does that mean I’ll only encounter good things from now on?"

"But compared to the first two, it’s the last one that serves as the God of Victory’s true trump card."

"By burning all accumulated good luck, you can turn something otherwise impossible into a reality. If utilized skillfully, this ability could even cross spirit ranks and take down divine beings."

Despite successfully shepherding the God of Victory and inheriting the ’Undefeated’ authority, Yang Qizhou didn’t believe his game character’s journey would be smooth sailing.

He never forgot the words of the Old God King Chaos: the determining factor of power wasn’t authority or symbols but rank...

Should forces of a higher rank intervene with the God of Victory’s powers, its ’Undefeated’ authority might very well face defeat.

Having finally digested all of the God of Victory’s information,

Yang Qizhou didn’t immediately dive back into the game but instead walked over to the mirror. Through his left eye, colors beyond verbal description emerged alongside the faint, radiant image of an exalted divine being.

That was the true God of Victory.

And now, this entity was shepherded within the Ancient Roots—its symbols, authority, and rank entirely under Yang Qizhou’s control...

"Finally... the first step taken."
