Chapter 1093: Chapter 797: Let the Opponents Open the Door

The City of Riddles, a city highly esteemed by the True God of Riddles.

The God of Riddles is a Death-type entity, with a unique mastery of a cryptic power of riddles. This True God, much like a trickster, enjoys leaving riddles for others. Those influenced by these riddles who fail to resolve them will have their souls harvested.

It’s said that traces of the God of Riddles can be found in many ruins and such places. A careless misstep may lead one to be entangled in its riddles. Within the realm of True Gods, it is notoriously infamous.

Among the player community, it’s not considered a good presence either, frustrating many players. It’s ranked among the top ten bosses players want to eliminate.

Zheng Yichen is now planning to kill this god, aligning himself with the players’ demands...

"What kind of power is this riddle? Never heard of it." Tanshia Firlo, perched on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, asked curiously.

"It’s like a cryptic puzzle. Those entangled by riddles must find the key to solve them. It could be a phrase or even a person. In any case, it’s pretty nasty." Zheng Yichen explained while reviewing the information Lilith compiled for him.

Tanshia Firlo listened attentively yet felt unclear in understanding, but her little head didn’t pause in processing. She nodded, "In short, it’s one of those super annoying things, right?"

"Exactly, one of those that people applaud when it’s finally killed."

Zheng Yichen grinned and stepped into the city. Summoning forth the God of Riddles was straightforward: Enter the Divine Kingdom of Riddles through the City of Riddles, then start the fight.

The process was anything but complicated—

For Zheng Yichen, whose plans were simple and straightforward, the small white dragon expressed full support. Upon their arrival at the City of Riddles, they immediately drew attention from some onlookers, as Zheng Yichen had become quite famous recently.

Taking on challenges while escorting his companion, he had earned the title of King of Mercenaries in record time... Although the title of King of Mercenaries wasn’t unique, it wasn’t easy to obtain either.

There were even people jokingly suggesting Zheng Yichen start a career as a dragon knight. Though sounding like friendly advice, Zheng Yichen was well aware of how devious such suggestions were.

The child protection law was no laughing matter, and Tanshia Firlo couldn’t prove she wasn’t a human child.

Even if she could, her situation in reality wouldn’t improve much. Zheng Yichen could stand against the world alongside her, but there was no need to escalate things to that extent.

"What’s he here for?" Looking at the duo walking down the street, some players were curious. After all, the God of Riddles wasn’t without supporters. Despite being annoying, the god did offer rewards to those who could crack its riddles.

Although taking such rewards repeatedly could lead to curses, for players, it was still a decent opportunity to earn attributes.

They figured just a few times would suffice. The key was how to obtain the highest reward during these attempts, rather than merely grabbing something.

However, as players repeatedly sought the rewards, the challenges posed by the God of Riddles grew increasingly difficult. While the rewards remained unchanged, the higher difficulty effectively reduced the perceived value of the rewards.

Nonetheless, this place continued to be a popular spot for players to gain attributes.

Some speculated whether Zheng Yichen had come here to obtain attributes. After all, free attribute points were hard to pass up.

But when Zheng Yichen arrived at the shrine of the God of Riddles, the statue emitted a radiant glow, and a hazy silhouette emerged from the statue.

"Mortal, my god grants you permission to partake in the subordinate god trial and receive my god’s blessings."

??? The surrounding players displayed dumbfounded expressions. Although the statue had shown signs of divine manifestation before, they’d never seen it this... eager to reveal itself. Yes, eager.

Zheng Yichen hadn’t even uttered a word yet, and the statue had already summoned forth a phantom.

Judging by the appearance, this wasn’t one of the ordinary servants of the God of Riddles but something of a higher rank.

This was a privilege even demigod players hadn’t received. Why Zheng Yichen...? Was it just because his leveling speed was fast?

Even the white-haired girl following him hadn’t reached max level yet, and now the Path to Godhood could be triggered? Moreover, success in the trial would make one a God Subordinate? Being a God Subordinate ranked higher than a Demigod. It was a literal god.

What was the reason behind this?

"Alright, I accept." Zheng Yichen grinned.

"Very well, release your mind and do not resist!"

Zheng Yichen did not release his mind. Instead, he resisted fiercely. The backlash his resistance generated stunned the phantom entirely. As the phantom trembled all over, cracks began to form on the statue behind it.

"Failed?" Tanshia Firlo asked quizzically.

Zheng Yichen shook his head, "Succeeded."

His weapon wasn’t in his hands, and although he possessed the ability to warp space, it wasn’t sufficient to open a direct path to the Divine Kingdom. Instead, he utilized soul control...

His soul control ability, which had been densely enhanced after eliminating a Demigod-level powerhouse and even taking down a True God, now came with additional corrupted effects. These effects could further strengthen the effectiveness of soul control.

Zheng Yichen didn’t use this additional effect often, reserving it for particularly troublesome entities when needed.

In the virtual world, this ability still retained its potency. For instance, when encountering spirit-type bosses, Zheng Yichen could forcibly dominate them using this method, as long as he had enough time to wear them down.
