CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 295: THE TRUTH RECORDED IN THE HANDWRITTEN NOTES

He unlocked his phone. No CGI animation, no opening narration—a rather lackluster background appeared before his eyes.

"Such an amazing game, yet paired with such a lame setup. If not for the rewards from the game actually materializing in reality, even a dog wouldn’t play this." Yang Qizhou mentally griped, but didn’t delay refreshing the game text.

After midnight, the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’, ’Divine Descent Sacrificial Object’, and ’free resurrection’ features had refreshed. It was time to dive in for another round.

The game continued.

...

"This girl, whose silver-white hair still lingered in strands, did not show joy upon seeing you. Instead, her expression turned cautious as she spoke... How did you get here?"

"She’s wary of me?"

"What’s going on?"

"You felt puzzled at first, but quickly pieced it together. In the wilderness, where mystery and strangeness coexist, the shock, terror, and despair are palpable. No one knows what horrific encounters await them. ’Village of Seeking the Light’ was already struck by calamity; something bad had already happened. At a time like this, when the mist suddenly parts and a familiar face appears, anyone would have doubts."

"Soon, you had an idea. You smiled and said... Are you suspecting that I might be disguised as some unknown terror from the wilderness?"

"..."

"Lena said nothing. Her eyes remained vigilant, and flames flickered to life in front of her."

"You came to save people but didn’t want to clash with the Village of Seeking the Light, so you decisively said... Isn’t the ’Golden Law Book’ in your hands? You can create new laws like ’No Fraud Allowed Here’ or ’No Disguises Allowed’. As long as there’s no scent of disorder on me, it’ll prove I’m genuine."

"’Lena’ spoke in a grave voice... Do you know that ’God of Victory’ temporarily entrusted the ’Golden Law Book’ to me?"

"Damn, she’s starting to question her relationship with the ’God of Victory’."

"Your heart skipped a beat, but outwardly, you remained calm, even flashing a faint smile as you said... It’s the ’God of Victory’ who sent me here to assist you. I’m naturally aware of certain matters."

"The ’Golden Law Book’ suddenly materialized mid-air. As its pages flipped, Lena began drafting new laws."

"But what happened next was unexpected..."

"Not only did Lena create laws like ’No Fraud Allowed Here’ and ’No Disguises Allowed Here’, but she also added ’No Manipulation of Others’ Minds Allowed Here’ and ’No Malice in Intentions Allowed Here’."

"You instantly understood."

"Lena had already recognized you, but was concerned that this ’explorer of an unknown origin’ might secretly be under the influence of an Evil God or a Hidden entity, harboring malice toward the Village of Seeking the Light. Hence, she added extra laws."

"You silently marveled... She’s as sharp as ever."

"Soon, the new laws were established. Seeing that there was no trace of ’disorder’ on you, both Lena and the villagers of the Village of Seeking the Light breathed a collective sigh of relief."

"The previously tense atmosphere eased somewhat."

"And you successfully entered the Village of Seeking the Light..."

"The villagers were curious about this ’outsider’, gathering nearby to examine you with wide, blinking eyes."

"Just then, a soft and sweet voice rang out... How incredible! An outsider explorer—how did you bypass the ’Holy Light Divine Domain’’s blessing to find the Village of Seeking the Light? That was the last gift left by the Holy Light Ancient God before His fall."

"You followed the voice, looking in its direction."

"The speaker was a fair-skinned girl with pointed ears and gem-like blue eyes that blinked excitedly."

"Though you’d only seen her once—via the Faith Channel—you recognized her instantly. She was none other than the village’s Guardian, the Priest of the Holy Light Ancient God, Elf Sera."

"Of course..."

"Once the Village of Seeking the Light’s crisis was resolved, she’d be my follower. Yes, yes, another follower."

"You cast a subtle glance at Lena."

...

Brother, could you act like a decent human being?

Yang Qizhou rubbed his forehead, strongly condemning the unethical thoughts of the game character while thinking to himself... Why couldn’t this person have been me?

The game continued.

...

"’Lena’ and the other villagers’ gazes also turned in your direction. Clearly, not just Sera, but everyone present was curious about how you crossed the ’Holy Light Ancient God’’s blessing to get here."

"Originally, you planned to show off a bit, but on second thought, you realized this could be an excellent opportunity."

"You took a deep look at everyone in the Village of Seeking the Light and solemnly said..."

"The Scale’s Tilter, the Star Spirit who governs good luck—His will dispelled confusion. His guidance shattered barriers. Wherever His radiance shines, all paths lead to His followers."

"Your words carried tremendous power, leaving the villagers with a unified thought..."

"The God of Victory is truly a formidable deity."

"With His blessing, perhaps the unknown horrors of the wilderness could never again threaten the Village of Seeking the Light."

...

In reality.

Yang Qizhou, engrossed in the game, suddenly heard a flood of ethereal prayers.

What’s going on?

Startled, Yang Qizhou quickly connected his thoughts to the Ancient Roots and noticed that the points of starlight linked to the God of Victory had suddenly multiplied, gaining many new followers.

"Not bad, brother; your bragging wasn’t in vain, and you even gathered a wave of devout faith." Yang Qizhou immediately understood what had happened and couldn’t help but give the ’Game Character’ a thumbs-up.

The game continued.

...

"As the helper sent by the God of Victory, it clearly wouldn’t be hospitable to leave you outside the village. Besides, the nearby area wasn’t suited for discussing the Village of Seeking the Light’s crisis."
