Chapter 211: Chapter 209: Mr. Death’s Letter

"Your overly serious expression startled ’Little Seventeen.’ She pouted and replied with a look of grievance."

"’Divinities’ embrace their ’divinity,’ wielding the power of ’authority.’ In a certain sense, they become a part of the universe’s ’symbols.’ However, ’divinities’ are ultimately not the symbols themselves. They merely rely on the traits of ’authority,’ and, with the aid of their ’divinity,’ occupy the stars corresponding to the ’symbols.’"

"In ordinary times, this isn’t much of an issue,"

"but when a ’divinity’ occupies a sufficient portion of a symbol at the moment of ascension, the schism between divinity, symbol, and ’divine essence’ reaches its zenith. Only through the appropriate ’ritual’ can this fracture be healed."

"I see, so that’s the case."

"You understood quickly."

"The function of the ’ritual’ is akin to powerful glue. During the ascension of a ’divinity,’ it tightly binds them to the symbol."

"You asked ’Little Seventeen’ again... If I were to shepherd ten divinities, would each of them need to fulfill their own rituals when ascending to the rank of ’Angel God’?"

"’Little Seventeen’ shook her head... The ritual only needs to be completed once. For example, with the rank of ’Angel God,’ as long as one of the shepherded divinities possesses this tier of rank, the power of the ’Angel’ rank can forcibly bind the symbol to the divinity without requiring additional rituals."

In other words, the ascension ritual for the rank of ’Angel God’ only needs to be performed once.

This allowed Yang Qizhou to let out a long sigh of relief.

As a profane wizard, he knew very well that a ’game character’ couldn’t possibly shepherd only one divinity. The ’God of Victory’ was merely the beginning, and the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ could be deactivated at any time. Moving forward, he would shepherd more and more divinities. If every divinity required its respective ritual to ascend, it would be far too troublesome.

The game continued.

"You let out a long breath,"

"and again began your usual habit of teasing ’Little Seventeen.’ Hm hm hm, the feel is still as good as ever."

"’Little Seventeen’ was indignant about your behavior, retreating into the counter, tilting her head defiantly as if she would outright ignore you from now on. Yet she couldn’t help but continually steal glances your way, her expression practically screaming ’Hurry up and coax me.’"

"You couldn’t help but laugh, feeling that this doll was truly entertaining."

"After spending quite some time, you finally managed to coax ’Little Seventeen.’"

"You began pondering your next steps..."

"The traces of the ’Wisdom God’ had already been found. After leaving ’Gate City,’ it seemed they went toward the ’City of Ten Thousand Gods,’ home to the Three Ancient Gods. Perhaps returning to the ’Polluted Mountain Edge’ and inquiring about the method to reach there from the mirror spirit of the ’Mirror of Wisdom’ could be worth considering."

"Just then,"

"a revelation born from the supreme rank of a ’Star Spirit.’ You felt a strange sensation, as if some mysticism-based power was forming."

"You suddenly realized something had appeared in your hand. Bowing your head to look, it turned out to be a pitch-black envelope."

"The signature on the envelope was... False Disguise."

...

...

It’s him?

Looking at the contents of the text, Yang Qizhou narrowed his eyes.

He still remembered—back during the ’Nameless One’ gathering, the game character encountered another player who served as a subordinate of the ’Deceiving Apostle.’ However, this player was conspiring to sabotage the apostle’s ascension ritual and replace them instead.

After a brief conversation, the two had decided to join forces. If the plan succeeded, aside from the corpse of the ’Deceiving Apostle,’ all remaining divine items, ancient objects, and sacrificial materials would belong to him.

Now that the ’letter’ had been sent to the game character, it seemed likely the other party’s plan was about to commence.

There was still one thing, however, that Yang Qizhou couldn’t help but wonder about.

"The ’Deceiving Apostle’ may not be a divinity, but they’re the representative of the ’Deception Lord,’ capable of slaughtering the ’Star Color Ancient God.’ Their combat prowess surely rivals, if not exceeds, that of an ’Angel God.’ For that player, who is as insignificant as a mere ant before them, just what method could they possibly use to disrupt the apostle’s ascension ritual?"

Regardless, the answer would soon be revealed. Without lingering too much on the matter, Yang quickly refocused his attention on his phone.

The game continued.

...

...

"Was it that same ’explorer’ from the ’Otherworld,’ using the ’Devil’s Envelope’?"

"You recalled the promise from not long ago and began mulling over it..."

"You opened the envelope, and the contents unfolded before your eyes."

[Dear Sir or Madam, I wonder if you’ve forgotten the promise between us.]

[Recently, ’Asgard’ has grown quieter and quieter. Many hidden, malevolent forces have begun to fade, but this is no cause for celebration. It signifies the nearing of the ’Deceiving Apostle’s’ ascension ritual. And most crucially... I still don’t know what the secret ceremony’s process entails.]

[I’ve risked much and negotiated with other great devils within the ’Endless Abyss,’ finally gaining some insight.]

[The reason the ’Deceiving Apostle’ has delayed their ascension ceremony for so long is that they’re searching for something. As for what it is, I too am unclear. All I know is that their founding of secret gatherings and impersonations of the ’Star Color Ancient God’ were all to uncover this thing.]

[And recently, as the ’Deceiving Apostle’ grows more active and ’Asgard’ becomes eerily calm, I suspect they’ve already found it.]

[At the very least, they must have found its clues.]

[Sir or Madam, this request may seem presumptuous, but for the sake of completing the promise between us, I humbly ask that you investigate what exactly the ’Deceiving Apostle’ is seeking.]

[This may determine the success or failure of our plan.]

[I beg of you.]

"You felt genuinely surprised, having previously assumed the ’Deceiving Apostle’s’ ascension ritual had already commenced. It turned out they were still in the preparation stage."

"You began speculating about what the ’Deceiving Apostle’ could be searching for."

"A divine item? Possible, but unlikely..."

"An ancient object? Just like a divine item, not much of a difference."

"The truth about the origin of the ’Ancient Gods’? Highly probable. But as the representative of the ’Deception Lord,’ it’s also plausible that they’ve long since known this secret."

"Unable to piece it together, you decided to set the matter aside for now, thinking, ’Instead of aimlessly guessing here, why not go to Asgard directly to find out?’"

"You teased ’Little Seventeen’ a couple more times, ignoring her dissatisfied glare, and walked into the ’Time-Space Gate’ with a grin."

"The scenery before your eyes began shifting rapidly,"

"You saw nine holy emblems resembling celestial nebulae, hanging in the sky with majestic grandeur. A city, outlined in pure white, lay ahead, radiating an aura of unchallengeable sanctity."

"This was ’Asgard.’"

...

...

In the Capital City, in a room filled with an aura of mystery.

The bespectacled and studious-looking ’Mr. Death’ sat at a desk cluttered with numerous papers, each covered in irregular, twisted patterns of secret ceremony diagrams. Though seemingly random scribbles, they exuded a deeply unsettling aura.

"That mysterious ’player’ should have already received the ’letter.’ I wonder if they’ll take the bait... Surely they will... After all, the treasures of the ’Deceiving Apostle’ are something no ordinary player could resist."

Just then...

’Mr. Death’s’ entire face suddenly twisted grotesquely, his features contorting in unimaginable pain, while the reflection in the mirror behind him seemed to come alive, revealing a sinister grin full of malice and horror.

The sudden change passed quickly, lasting only about ten minutes. ’Mr. Death’ recovered, but the sweat pouring down his body confirmed it wasn’t a hallucination.

"The boundaries are growing increasingly blurred. Time is running out; the plan must be completed before full overlap occurs."

"I wonder how the preparations on the ’Hermit’s’ side are coming along."

As Mr. Death pondered, a ’pitch-black’ envelope suddenly appeared beside his right hand—none other than the ’Devil’s Envelope,’ signed ’Hermit.’

This was quite a coincidence,

Amused, Mr. Death opened the envelope, but the contents inside soon made his expression turn grave.

[To Mr. Death]

[There’s been a minor issue at ’Deceit Prison.’ Some officials from the Deceit Bureau have noticed the activities of the ’Hermit Association’ and are investigating. Several of our hidden operatives have been exposed, causing significant inconvenience.]

[Of course, you don’t need to worry too much. The ’Hermit Association’s’ arrangements in Deceit Prison aren’t so easily dismantled,]

[But this is, ultimately, a potential risk,]

[To be safe, we’ve conducted a small investigation and discovered this incident likely involves that sole unrecorded S-tier player, known as the ’Lamp Holder.’]

[This is a variable,]

[To ensure the success of our plan, we’ve had to make certain ’contingency additions,’ and we humbly ask for your understanding, Mr. Death.]

[Looking forward to the day of the divine’s arrival.]

[Hermit]

Regarding the issues at ’Deceit Prison,’ Mr. Death’s heart remained unperturbed. Even upon hearing that the ’Lamp Holder’ was involved, he merely raised an eyebrow.

What truly caught Mr. Death’s attention was the final line:

"We’ve had to make certain ’contingency additions.’"

"The Hermit Association is an exceedingly mysterious organization. They’ve been active since the beginning of the *Deceit World*’s origin. Could it be they are the same as ’me’?"

"If that were the case, things might get interesting."

Mr. Death’s shadow twisted once again into a horrifying spectacle, as low, sinister laughter echoed throughout the enigmatic room engulfed in dim light.

...

...

Meanwhile, Yang Qizhou continued playing the game.

"You knew all too well how terrifyingly dreadful this seemingly sanctified and lofty ’Asgard’ was behind the façade. Adding the scheming ’Tree Ancient God’ to the mix only made the urgency more pressing. Without hesitation, you activated the effect of the ’Dream Hidden World Clothes.’"

"You entered the ’Hidden’ state."

"The aura of the ’Wizard’ was concealed from your body."
