’King of Nature’ is attempting to forcibly break through the Cosmic Pillar level and achieve the former status of the ’Lord of Blasphemy.’
Yang Qizhou stared at the text on the screen and, seeing Itas’ extreme reaction, felt a sudden jolt of shock in his heart.
Divinity is accompanied by curses, a fate all ’gods’ must eventually confront. This was revealed as far back as before the ’God of Victory’ was herded and he became a true ’Blasphemous Wizard.’
Later, the ’Tree Ancient God’ once stated that the ’Pillar’ level represents the maximum limit for gods. Exceeding this boundary—even accommodating just one more symbol—will result in terrifying consequences.
Now it seems these terrifying consequences indicate that ’gods’ can no longer use the Old Sacrifice to suppress the curse of divinity.
As his thoughts raced, Yang Qizhou recalled the flesh bound to the mural—a glance at it would bring death—and the unnamable ’Moonlight Ancient God.’
"This Hidden Wizard King, though fallen, has never lost composure from the moment he appeared until now, whether enduring devastating calamities in the River of Death or confronting the Lord of Filth."
"It seems the curse of divinity is not simply about losing control, insanity, or demise but something far more horrifying. The Game Character can only survive this crisis to truly herd the King of Nature."
Indeed, rewards are always accompanied by risks,
to accommodate and herd a Pillar-Level Ancient God is no simple task.
"Lamp Holder, how’s the situation? Is it still under control?" The voice of Mr. Deathrang out. Seeing the cold, composed individual before him—capable of directing even the ’Deception Lord’ tier storyline events—troubled for the first time, Mr. Death couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Still calling himself Mr. Death, afraid of death as he is, panicking at the slightest disturbance,
might as well rename himself to ’Mr. Timid,’
Yang Qizhou’s mind amused itself with the thought, but outwardly he remained stoic and offered a perfunctory smile with the classic, evasive response, "No need to worry; everything is under control."
Mr. Death, though brimming with suspicions and guessing the Lamp Holder’s Game Character must be in trouble, dared not pry too deeply into matters the other would not divulge. He resigned himself to expressing muted gratitude.
Yang Qizhou refocused his attention back on his phone, prepared to continue updating the text. But at that moment, a thought crossed his mind:
if the King of Nature surpasses the Pillar level and possesses power comparable to the ’Lord of Blasphemy,’ could his might transcend the boundary between the game and reality, manifesting in the player’s body?
"Should that truly happen, then the destiny of the Game Character and myself as the player would converge completely."
Yang Qizhou’s mood grew heavier as he refreshed the text once more.
"Listening to Itas’ panicked screams and witnessing the King of Nature’s despair-fueled frenzy, an unsettling chill crept into your heart."
"Without any hesitation, you sped toward the depths of Doomsday Town with almost the fastest possible pace. You had foreseen the possibility of leveraging the forces of the Nameless Land there and deliberately chose the nearest location. Within moments, you arrived before the ’Disaster Furnace,’ transformed into its treasure-like guise."
"One of the five sacrificial artifacts from the Doomsday Land, symbolizing the Doomsday Fire Light, this artifact is itself a fragment of the Doomsday Land within the Nameless Land. The better you understand the Doomsday Land, the more terrifying the power it unleashes."
"Recalling the information about the Disaster Furnace, your nerves tightened,"
"You remembered the Dream Realm Sovereign once relayed a message to you through Grand White... You can try to draw ’Original Darkness’ and ’Shiny’ closer, but be wary of deceitful traps."
"Initially, you weren’t sure who ’Original Darkness’ and ’Shiny’ referred to. However, as your understanding of the Nameless Land deepened over time, you began to speculate."
"Original Darkness... likely referred to the Doomsday Land."
"Shiny... likely referred to the Golden Realm."
"Because of this, you took the risk of using the Disaster Furnace in the depths of the Doomsday Town as one of your trump cards against the King of Nature. Since the artifact inherently symbolizes a portion of the Doomsday Land, it was not inconceivable that it could lend its power to aid you."
"Almost simultaneously..."
"Your vision became engulfed in brilliance, a fleeting impression as though arriving in the Star Realm. All the stars that symbolize ’nature’ were illuminated by the same divine being. These thousand interwoven stars gradually coalesced into a horrifying, unnamable, indescribable form, simultaneously singular and manifold—a shadow resembling a singularity, yet a convergence of all concepts."
"The exaggerated phenomenon had barely appeared when the gods you were herding, including the Lord of Blasphemy’s Ancient Roots like the Spiritual Dragon and Power of Royal Authority, began showing signs of aberrations."
"You could not comprehend the essence of this mutation."
"But guided by a sensitivity stemming from spirituality, you understood that this would lead to terrifying outcomes."
"Yet strangely, instead of feeling pressure or fear, you were overcome by a sense of intimate anticipation... In your mind, an uncontrollable thought surfaced."
