Main God Creation Rules

Page 366

You gaze upon the humans on the ground, who, amidst their songs, lose their form and turn into chunks of flesh;

……

It was as if a demon from hell had been unleashed... No, if it were a demon, it might cruelly slaughter this world, but it would never have made the world so distorted and chaotic.

When the "unspeakable" hidden deep within the earth is forcibly awakened through violence, its "song" directly transforms all living things on the surface into forms of madness and despair. Then, "it" turns its gaze upon the instigator of all this.

At the same moment, Lin Yi also saw its true form in the deep darkness.

Like all the evil gods encountered, the Great Old One lurking in the core of this outer world possesses distorted senses beyond human comprehension. It has features of an octopus, a bat, and a human, its entire body is green, and its body is enormous—covering the entire core. In contrast to its hard, scaly skin, its relatively soft head is covered with countless tentacles. Its body is obese, its forelimbs have soft, claw-like appendages, and it has a pair of tattered, seemingly undeveloped wings on its back. At this moment, it is trying to take flight with those wings, but the previously overturned seawater has clearly had a significant impact on it, and so far it has not been able to break free from the shattered earth.

Perhaps realizing that such actions were meaningless, the evil god that had awakened from the earth's core began to emit a different "voice" than that distorted "song".

Even though it is filled with twisted malice, as long as it is "language", it can be understood... If the "fragment" really gives the holder something, this solidified "language proficiency" is probably the most cost-effective one.

"I am the sleeping god, the lord of R'lyeh, the great being symbolizing 'water'... Is it you who summoned me, the wisdom of the inner realm?"

Even without the status of one of the three pillar gods, as one of the few high-level beings among the Great Old Ones, the "Great Octopus" who calls itself the "Lord of R'lyeh" easily saw through part of the truth beneath that human body. Naturally, it wouldn't mistake it for a human just because of that... If it were a human, it would have become a "fanatic" like billions of humans on Earth the moment the "song" started.

Lin Yi turned his gaze away from the "distant place," not having much to say about the fate of humanity in this otherworld.

Essentially, everything in Outland was created by the "Outer Gods." Even if they haven't been driven to madness by the "song" of the "Lord of R'lyeh" today, one day some "Follower of R'lyeh" or "Child of R'lyeh" will lead them to their doom. In other words, the fate of Outland was determined the moment of its birth. The only uncertainty is when that "wise one" will realize the existence lurking beyond the island of human cognition and begin to summon it...

In such a world, it is a mistake for humanity to be either too ignorant or too wise, and the consequence of such a mistake is to lead everything toward evil gods—and thus to destruction.

However, more than the fate of this outer world, Lin Yi was concerned about the "title" of this evil god who was bound to the core of the earth and sleeping...

When Nyarlathotep first made contact with the Great Old Ones, he left behind two messages: the first was the name of Azathoth, and the second was a strange message.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

To put it in understandable terms: In the mansion of R'lyeh, the long-sleeping Cthulhu awaits your dreams.

"The mansion of R'lyeh..."

Looking down into the deep darkness beneath the earth's crust, where tentacles and strange objects wriggled incessantly, Lin Yi fell silent.

"The wisdom of the inner realm—what are you seeking, what are you yearning for?"

"Your dream."

The Great Old One, constantly struggling to break free from the earth's shackles, paused for a moment, its twisted, swollen compound eyes gazing at the tiny things in the sky—

Looking directly into that gaze that could extinguish all wisdom, Lin Yi paused slightly before saying, "To put it simply, you can continue sleeping."

"------!"

Lin Yi didn't know why this "Lord of R'lyeh" had appeared in the Earth's core, and why it had been sleeping before being "awakened" by him. But he figured it was definitely not a voluntary act, as evidenced by the fact that it went berserk after Lin Yi "wished" that it should continue sleeping.

The once-quiet "song" began to rise at dozens or even hundreds of times the frequency of before, and the impact was no longer limited to intelligent life; even the shattered planet itself was showing signs of distortion.

"This dream belongs only to me!"

Amidst the "song," the ever-expanding tentacles stretched towards the sky, quickly encroaching upon and filling most of the sky in just a few seconds—

Its eyes narrowed slightly, and its body collapsed without resistance the instant the tentacles contracted... or rather, it vanished.

The next second, a "figure" appeared above the blue planet, and an outstretched "hand" easily grasped everything below.

The Great Old Ones: The missing persons status is being restored.

Because I haven't updated in six months, I haven't been able to recover my condition for a while. I even tried writing two chapters, but I couldn't stand reading them myself, so I need some time to get back to normal... If you're interested, you can check out my new project, "The Lord of Soldiers." I'll resume updating when I'm feeling better.

If the word count is insufficient, supplement it with a brief description:

From Chaldea in the Arctic to Griffin in the Middle East,

From the Valkyries of the Far East to the humanoid ships of the deep sea,

Heroic spirits divided the land and ruled, while humanoid soldiers brought endless calamities.

Honkai is closing in relentlessly, and the deep sea is in hot pursuit.

……

How far can I go in this survival competition that begins in a higher dimension?

How far can this world go?

The Great Old Ones: Chapter 942 A Dream Start

Lost Moon.

A slight rustling sound came from the pitch-black space. Two dim, pale green lights emerged from the corner. They then cautiously observed their surroundings and only moved forward after confirming that there were no other interfering parties.

It followed the scent of flesh and blood to the middle of the house and found today's "food." Although it didn't know what species it was, for the lower-level consumers of this natural ecosystem, it didn't really matter what kind of creature it was: from the flesh and blood of the legendary dragon to the rotting remains in the sewers, it could eat and digest them all. Perhaps it was the only compensation given by the creator of this world after depriving them of too many possibilities.

However, its mealtime is destined to be less than smooth.

Having just taken the first bite, the previously silent "piece of meat" trembled slightly as if sensing pain. Then it slowly opened its eyes...

"Where...is this?"

Looking around blankly, Teren was somewhat unable to react.

In my memory, he should have been at university completing a task assigned to him by his professor, translating a strange ancient book called "The Necronomicon". Why is he suddenly here now?

and……

"Hey...it hurts."

His dulled senses only now issued a warning. As he subconsciously raised his hand, Teren noticed, out of the corner of his eye, a ghastly green gaze peering out from the corner.

—Kaka Mouse.

The most common creatures in sewers pose little threat to humans when alone, but if their numbers increase to a certain extent, they may attack humans under extreme hunger.

Incredibly, despite seeing this green-eyed creature for the first time, Teren felt as if he had encountered and known of its existence before, and a wealth of information about the Kaka Rat automatically flooded his mind. Just as Teren was bewildered by this situation, a sharp pain suddenly struck him.

"what--"

Clutching his head, Teren couldn't help but scream.

It wasn't until five minutes later that Teren, his face pale, was able to catch his breath.

In conclusion, he traveled through time.

He was transported from Earth to a completely unknown world. Coincidentally, the person transported was also named Teren and was also a student. However, the Teren of this world had died half an hour earlier because he was provoked by a friend into participating in a bizarre ritual, then encountered something incomprehensible, and arrived here in a daze, losing consciousness until the Teren from the other world transmigrated into his body.

The reason Teren knew about Kaka Rat was because the original owner of this body had already come into contact with it. The five minutes of torment he had just endured were his adaptation to the original owner's memories. Although it was painful, it was essential for Teren's future survival in this world.

"I never thought I'd encounter something like time travel..."

Mixed with a fear of the unknown and a longing for a new world and a new life, Teren finally had the mind to observe his surroundings.

The first thing he explored was his own body… Aside from an old, worn-out object resembling a student ID, there was only a thick, brick-like book. Relying on the original owner's memories, Teren read the title on the title page, word by word—

"The Book of the Dead—wait, the Necronomicon?!"

Teren was greatly surprised. Before his transmigration, he had translated the Necronomicon, and now that he had a copy of the Necronomicon in this new world, he simply couldn't believe there was no connection between them.

"This thing is definitely related to my time travel!"

With this in mind, Teren closed and put away the truly eerie "Necronomicon," and after confirming that he had nothing else of interest on him, he turned his attention to the Kaka Mouse in the corner.

Unlike the Kaka Rat that the original owner of the body remembered, this Kaka Rat did not run away immediately after he woke up, but instead stayed in place without moving. Moreover, he was not sure if it was his imagination, but he always felt that this Kaka Rat seemed to have a considerable intelligence in its eyes...

"I must be crazy."

Muttering to himself, Teren tentatively reached out to Kaka the mouse: "Hey, little guy, come here."

To his surprise, the Kaka mouse actually approached—although it seemed somewhat timid, it was indeed moving closer to him.

A few minutes later, Teren happily stroked the Kaka mouse in his palm. Perhaps it was because the mouse had bitten off a small piece of flesh earlier, but Teren had a strange feeling of "spiritual connection" with the Kaka mouse.

"Phew, time to go."

After placing the Kaka Mouse on his shoulder and looking around to make sure he hadn't missed anything, Teren followed the original owner's memories to find the half-open door. Accompanied by the creaking sound of wood rubbing against each other, he finally left that dark and claustrophobic environment.

As soon as Teren stepped out of the room, he saw the Lost Moon hanging high above his head.

The azure crescent moon seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, giving it an ethereal and dreamlike feel. Although the original owner's memories had seen similar scenes countless times, Teren, who was seeing this scene for the first time, was still unable to help but be lost in thought because of the sight... until a voice filled with shock and anger rang out from ahead.

"Teren? Damn it—you're still alive!"

When Teren instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, he saw two people dressed in strange black robes that resembled priestly attire. The voice of the person who had just spoken was familiar to Teren.

"Are you Kate?"

Just then, another man in black robes urged in a low voice, "Resolve this quickly, the ceremony is almost over."

"Yes, I'll finish it right away."

Watching the brief exchange between the two, even though Teren didn't understand the current situation very well, he knew that his situation was not good.

As expected, accompanied by the strange chanting from Kate's mouth, several black shadows, like ropes, stretched out from under his feet, easily binding Teren to the spot across a distance of more than ten meters.

"What are you doing, Kate?!"

Faced with Tren's terrified cries, Kate offered no explanation, only waving her hand with a cruel expression—

"Hang him!"

Just as Teren's otherworldly life was about to end, the Necronomicon he was holding suddenly broke free from his grasp and floated in mid-air, opening automatically, much to Teren's bewilderment.

Not only Terence, but Kate was also baffled by this unexpected scene: "What is that?"

"Wait, what's that—"

Unlike Kate, the black-robed man beside him seemed to recognize something, shouting in a trembling voice, "It's the Necronomicon! Run—"

Without waiting for Kate's reaction, he turned and ran. Kate, belatedly trying to follow, was overwhelmed by the ominous aura emanating from the open pages of the Necronomicon, which had already permeated every inch of the space around him. Feeling this overwhelming power that he couldn't resist, Kate let out a desperate cry—

"Do not--!!!"

"..."

"..."

A long silence.

Strangely, the black mist emanating from the Necronomicon suddenly stopped as if obeying Kate's command. The black-robed figures who were fleeing into the distance also stopped in their tracks upon noticing this scene, and then saw the culprit behind it all...

……

Reaching out, Teren—or rather, Lin Yi—took down the Necronomicon that was suspended in mid-air. He casually flipped through the pages, then turned his gaze to the motionless "Kaka Mouse" on his shoulder—or, to be more precise, to the "God of Illusionary Moon" hidden within the "Kaka Mouse."

"A max-level artifact is given away with a click, a max-level pet is given upon entering the game, and they even thoughtfully provide a set of memories to help you integrate into this world, as well as two small monsters to practice using the artifact. Isn't this a dream start?"

The Great Old Ones: Chapter 943 Plot

Although it was unclear what had happened that caused the Necronomicon, which was rumored to bring about a catastrophic end whenever activated, to suddenly stop releasing its power, Kate seized the opportunity immediately.

Facing the gray fog that had stopped spreading around him, he retreated instead of advancing, chanting an unknown incantation, and approached Lin Yi with an expression that was a mixture of madness and fanaticism... or rather, approached the "Necronomicon" in Lin Yi's hand.

Unlike "Teren," who was completely ignorant of the truth behind the world and even foolishly used as a living sacrifice without realizing it, Terren possessed enough knowledge to understand the terrifying and powerful force recorded in this book. As long as he mastered this book, not only would the necromancer sect be able to find a place for him, but even the vast dark world might not be without a foothold.

However, he wasn't the only one who had similar thoughts.

When Kate noticed the anomaly in the Necronomicon, another man in black robes, who had already run far away, stopped and even turned back faster than Kate.

Left with no other choice, Kate had to turn her attention back to the person who was currently in control of the Necronomicon.

"Give it to me, Teren! I'll make sure you get out of here safely!"

"You want this?"

It was completely different from what Kate had imagined. The "Tryn" he knew would have hesitated for a while after hearing his threat before summoning the Necronomicon, but the current "Tryn"... was very strange.

No matter how strange it may seem, at least what he has to do now will not change.

"Yes, give it to me! Quickly—"

Before he could even finish speaking, "Teren" on the other side had already thrown the heavy book in his direction.

Kate instinctively reached out and caught the Necronomicon, but only a second later did she realize what she was holding.

"Ha...haha, hahaha! I got it, I got it!"

The doubts and concerns of the previous second vanished in an instant, leaving only the ever-expanding joy in his heart and the black mist that kept spreading from his hands to his body.

"Fool, you never know what you just missed!"
