The Blasphemous Wizard of the Weird World

Chapter 243 The Keeper of Secrets

The 'fox' was afraid that the 'honey badger' boss had forgotten him like the group owner, so he hung up the phone immediately and told his experience of being 'forgotten by the world' at the fastest speed.

At the end, he did not forget to beg: "Boss, boss, ever since the Arena of Destiny, I have become like this. 'Defiled Crow' is your game character, this must be your handiwork, please, don't play anymore, this feeling of being forgotten by the whole world is really not fun."

The power of the 'Forgotten Worm' in the game actually affected the 'Fox' who was a player.

Yang Qizhou was also very surprised by this.

Although he had long guessed that the game characters active in the "Old Land" were not independent individuals, but had a close relationship with the players, all along, no matter what kind of damage the game characters in the text suffered, it was not synchronized to himself, which made Yang Qizhou unconsciously think that this connection was not strong.

But now it seems that is not the case.
The relationship between game characters and players may be much deeper than you think.

"Don't be silent, Honey Badger, I'm really desperate, you know? Now my family doesn't know me, the group leader doesn't know me, my friends don't know me, even my girlfriend doesn't know me. If this continues, I will go crazy. Please, say something."

Seeing that the 'honey badger' didn't speak for a long time, the fox was completely panicked, thinking that even this big guy didn't remember who he was.

Yang Qizhou said: "You have a girlfriend, didn't you use some trickery to get her?"

"Boss, this is where you are wrong. What do you mean by 'lying'? That was a white and sincere lie. I..." The fox was hit in the soft spot and instantly exploded, because he got his current girlfriend by being a 'fraudster', and the method was not really glorious.

But he soon realized something, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his voice was filled with unprecedented excitement. "Boss, boss, boss, you still remember me, right? You still remember me, wuwuwuwu, this feeling of being abandoned by the whole world is too horrible, I really don't want to experience it again, boss, please let me go."

In just a few minutes of the call, the 'fox' had said 'let me go' three times. It seemed that he was really scared.

"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. Although this ability is strange, its level is not high. As long as it is a 'Star Spirit', you know the division of positions... Anyway, gods of this position and above and ancient rulers will not be affected." Yang Qizhou's words were almost an admission that it was him who was responsible for the 'Fox' being forgotten by the world.

Fox asked, "What about those below the rank of Star Spirit?"

Yang Qizhou said as a matter of course: "Then I will forget about you."

"..."

The fox finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears. It was incredible that a grown man like him could cry so miserably.

"Alright, alright. I will take back your abilities and save you from being forgotten by the whole world. But before that, you have to help me with another attempt." Yang Qizhou had not really intended to do anything to the 'fox'. Seeing that the purpose of the experiment had been achieved, he did not intend to continue persecuting him.

The Fox said sadly, "Ah, do we need to make another attempt?"

He now felt a pang in his heart about the word "try".

Yang Qizhou said: "Don't worry, this attempt will not have any negative effects. It will be easy and simple?"

With the experience of the first 'attempt', the 'fox' didn't believe this at all, but there was nothing he could do. In order to escape from the state of being 'forgotten by the whole world', he could only agree with tears in his eyes.

"Boss 'Honey Badger', I agreed. What is the attempt?"

Yang Qizhou continued, "Tell someone else about what happened to you. Your girlfriend, your parents, a member of the secret society, anyone. And then tell me their reaction."

"what……"

Fox thought he had heard wrongly. Shouldn't the powerful powers obtained by players from the game be kept secret? Especially for a power like "Forgotten by the World", which made people's scalps numb, but now the boss Honey Badger actually let him publicize it.

Yang Qizhou said dissatisfiedly: "What? Did I not explain it clearly enough?"

"No, it's not. It's very clear. But Boss, what are you going to do? Are you going to kill someone to silence him?"

"Do I need to explain to you what I have done in my life?"

That's right,

The reason why Yang Qizhou wanted to publicize the "Fox" was to try out another power of the "Hidden Light".

Keeper of secrets.

You can choose a designated 'secret' and exert the power of 'secret keeping'. As long as the status is not higher than yours, no one can peek into this secret.

Putting his mind into the 'old roots' and manipulating the 'secret light' that was being released, Yang Qizhou soon completed the corresponding operation and set the matter of 'the fox was once forgotten by the whole world, and this was the work of the honey badger' to a secret state. Then, by manipulating the symbol of 'secret', he took back the forgotten worm that was parasitic on the 'fox'.

"Well, the world has remembered you again. Go tell others about this and see their reactions. I'm waiting to hear from you."

Then the call was hung up.

……

……

the other side?
The world remembered him immediately, and the Fox was a little bit unbelievable for a moment, as if nothing had happened.

He dialed his girlfriend's number with some trembling, and the call was quickly connected. "Hello, Wenwen, do you remember who I am?"

"Of course I remember. Really, you said such weird things. You're my boyfriend, how could I forget you?" Soon there was a sullen reply from the other end of the line. I have to say, Fox's girlfriend has a really nice voice, and she must be pretty too.

I remembered it, I actually remembered it.

Fox suddenly became extremely excited and said excitedly: "Wenwen, this may be unbelievable, but just ten minutes ago, you did forget about me. But I don't blame you, because it's not your fault. I was forgotten by this world."

"Ah, you, what are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly."

"I mean, you did forget about me, like, ten minutes ago, but I don't blame you, because the whole world forgot about me."

"Ah, the signal is so bad, I still can't hear what you said?"

"I mean……"

This conversation was repeated several times, and the fox's girlfriend always said that she couldn't hear what the fox was saying.
At first, "Fox" thought it was because of the bad signal, but after experiencing the same thing many times, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

When we talk about other things, my girlfriend can hear everything clearly, but when we talk about the fact that "she was once forgotten by the world", my girlfriend always says she can't hear clearly, as if there is a mysterious force preventing this "secret" from spreading.

Is this another attempt that the 'Honey Badger' boss mentioned?

The Fox couldn't help but shudder.
He did not jump to conclusions, but after hanging up the phone with his girlfriend, he called the "secret cultivator" again and tried to tell him about his experience.

However, the same thing happened again. The 'secret cultivator' said that he couldn't hear clearly what the fox was saying and asked him to speak more clearly. The 'fox' got angry and just typed the text and sent it over.

"What did you send me? It's all garbled. Fox, are you okay? If not, hang up." After saying that, the 'secret cultivator' hung up the phone without caring about the fox's reaction.

Garbled?

How could it be garbled?
The fox looked at the clear text on the phone screen and finally confirmed his guess.

The fact that he had been forgotten by the world had been blocked by the 'Honey Badger' boss in an incredible and incomprehensible way, and was in a state of 'not being known to others'.

Such a strange power is in the hands of the other party, and he also has the ability to make people forgotten by the world. How terrifying must he be now?

The fox was really scared. He originally held the mentality of 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west' and 'Don't bully the young and poor', thinking that he would get his revenge after he became stronger in the future. But now... forget it, forget it, I can't afford to offend you, Boss 'Honey Badger', whatever you say in the future is the truth.

"Hey, Boss Honey Badger, I have told the thing that has been forgotten by the world..." The fat man did not forget the instructions of Honey Badger and called immediately.

……

……

Oh, not bad, the authority of the "Secret Keeper" actually blocked the news that "the fox was forgotten by the whole world". This ability will definitely be very useful in some specific plots.

After listening to the report of "Fox", Yang Qizhou was very satisfied.

The 'Hall of Truth' has been completed, the 'Dreamlike Cloak of Hidden World' has been refined into the 'Profane Potion', and the spirit of the 'Hidden Light' has been successfully herded. The harvest in the Land of Prayer for Light has been almost digested.

Yang Qizhou did not continue the game immediately, but thought of another thing...

After entering the Land of Prayer for Light, the game character's accumulated old sacrifices had reached about 15. Later, he used the power of the 'Defiled Crow' to go back to the moment when he made the last choice, and got many items such as 'Challenge Posts', 'Vitality Potions', 'Teleport Scrolls' and 'Nth Destiny' from the Destiny Shop for free, and put them on the 'Destiny Exchange' at a 200% premium.

Now these props have been sold out, and his current total number of old offerings has reached a huge 42.

"'Harriet' has chanted the full name of the God of Win. I guess the next plot is that the game characters will go deep into the 'Northern Abyss' and face the threat of the 'Endless Abyss'."

"The process is naturally dangerous and unpredictable."

"Raise the current status of the gods to the ultimate level of 'Star Spirits'. This way, we will be more confident in dealing with 'Demons' and 'Devils'."

Thinking of this, Yang Qizhou stopped hesitating and immediately started preparing for the upgrade of the 'God'...

In fact, the reason why Yang Qizhou chose to upgrade his "god" status at this time was not only to better deal with the following plot, but also for a more important reason.

The effect of the 'Forgotten Bug' actually passed through the game level and manifested itself on the 'Fox'.

This gave Yang Qizhou a wake-up call...

The emergence of this phenomenon is not a good sign either. It indicates that the intersection of the two worlds is deepening, and the 'Old Earth' is very close to one's own world, so close that the experience of the 'game characters' is likely to affect the real players to a certain extent.

This phenomenon should not be common at present, otherwise it would have caused a lot of uproar. However, Yang Qizhou also had to consider a problem... What if the game character was contaminated by the evil god and unfortunately it manifested itself in himself as a player?

After all, the "weird world" is not just a game. The old earth is real. It is so horrible that even gods will fall and the sky will decay.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand but be prepared for the worst.

That's why Yang Qizhou chose to upgrade the status of the 'god', making the game character as powerful as possible and avoiding damage to the greatest extent possible.

"Among the gods currently being herded, except for the 'God of Winning' who possesses the ultimate status of a 'Star Spirit', the other 'God of Iron and Blood', 'Demon Monarch' and the newly acquired 'Secret Light' are all Star Spirit gods that only contain the minimum unit 'symbol'."

"I calculated it,"

"Each minimum unit symbol requires 30000 Old Priests. Each 'God' who wants to be upgraded to the Star Spirit limit needs to accommodate four minimum units, which is 12 Old Priests. The three 'Gods' together will have 36 Old Priests."

"After the upgrade is completed, there will still be about 6 old offerings left, which is enough for the next use."

"Then let's get started."

Although a huge sum of money was about to be spent, Yang Qizhou did not feel bad about it. The believers who inherited the 'Demon Lord' and the 'God of Iron and Blood' could provide old sacrifices continuously. In addition, the 'Desecrating Dark Crow' could get the Destiny Shop for free. If all went well, the 36 old sacrifices could be earned back in less than a day.

Soon Yang Qizhou completed the corresponding operation on his mobile phone, and the old sacrifice of 42 was rapidly reduced, but to his surprise... after deducting the old sacrifice, it was not 36, but 24.

The text is being refreshed.

"'Harit' chanted the full name of 'God of Win' in the depths of the Northern Abyss. It must be related to the erosion of the 'Endless Abyss'. It is a country ruled by two pillar-level gods, 'Lord of the Abyss' and 'Lord of Fraud'. There are countless powerful 'Old Gods of the Abyss', 'Demon Apostles' and 'Ancient Kings' living there. The degree of danger is difficult to predict."

"In order to be more confident in dealing with unknown risks, you decided to raise all the gods you herded to the limit of the 'Star Spirit' status."

"You consumed 24 old offerings,"

"The scenery in front of you is changing rapidly, and you soon arrive in an extremely strange starry sky. The stars here are distorted and abstract, like a painting drawn by a child."

"You have arrived at the 'Astral World' which encompasses all symbols of the entire universe."

"you……"

Looking at the contents on the text, Yang Qizhou was well prepared. Just like the character in the game, his consciousness came to the illusory, distorted and abstract star realm that looked like a child's painting. And it had been less than twenty minutes since the last time he came here. It had to be said that this happened quite frequently.

What follows is naturally the familiar process of lighting up the stars corresponding to the symbol of 'god' according to the guidance from some unknown source.

The first one was the 'Light of Hidden'. The process was very smooth. With the BUFF blessing of the krypton gold boss, it didn't take long before 3.9 stars representing the symbol of 'secret' were lit up. Then it was the 'God of Iron and Blood', which also accommodated 3.9 minimum symbolic units, reaching the limit of the 'Star Spirit' status.

The rituals that these two gods needed to complete in order to be promoted to "angels" also emerged in Yang Qizhou's mind.

[Category: Secret Promotion]

[Person: Angel]

[Method: You need to build a town with tens of thousands of people, and use the authority of "secret" to completely isolate it from the outside world.]

[Note: You are the corner of the world in the past]

……

[Category: War Promotion]

[Person: Angel]

[Method: You need to lead a battle of faith between two believers of the 'Angel God', and kill one of the 'Angel God' in the final stage of the battle.]

【Note: War means killing.】

……

Yang Qizhou just quickly digested the information and skipped the promotion ceremonies of the two gods, 'Hidden Light' and 'God of War', because his attention was attracted by another more important matter.

"how so?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Qizhou felt mixed emotions.

He saw that the starry sky before him was extremely bright. All the stars representing the 'abyss', including the one he lit up, already had owners.

"Yes, I almost forgot. The previous plot mentioned that the symbols in the universe are not infinite, but have a constant number. They will not increase or decrease. If this is the case, then when all the stars representing a 'symbol' have owners, this 'symbol' will naturally not give birth to new gods."

"It's just that the speed is too fast. The 'Demon Lord' of the Endless Abyss just died not long ago, and the game character doesn't have much time to herd the 'Demon Lord'. How can it occupy all the 'Symbol' units vacated by the death of a God Lord?"

It goes without saying that this was definitely the work of the 'Lord of the Abyss'. As the ruler of the 'Endless Abyss' and the supreme god of all demons, he himself occupies the only throne representing the symbol of the 'abyss'. He is a pillar-level existence in the universe and naturally has absolute control over the authority of the 'abyss'.

This also made Yang Qizhou realize one thing.

The 'weird world' is not a game of killing monsters and leveling up. The number of 'gods' in the old earth is constant, neither more nor less. When all the 'symbols' have been occupied by other gods, if you want to continue to improve your status, there is only one way... to rob.

Kill the gods on the 'throne' and seize the 'symbol' they occupy.

"'Destiny', it seems that this question does not exist." Suddenly, this thought emerged in Yang Qizhou's mind.

At the same time, his consciousness fell rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he left the star realm and opened his eyes again in the real rental house. At this moment, the text on his mobile phone also automatically refreshed a lot of content.

"You have arrived in the astral realm."

"You skillfully begin to light up the symbols corresponding to the three gods: 'Hidden Light', 'Iron God', and 'Demon Lord'."

"The lighting process of the stars representing 'secrets' and 'war' went smoothly. After consuming 24 old offerings, you successfully accommodated 4.9 minimum units of symbols. But when it came to the turn of the 'abyss' symbol, you were surprised to find that all the stars were occupied and there was no vacancy for you."

"It makes you realize some of the 'cruel' truths about the universe and the gods."

"Soon you left the astral realm and opened your eyes again in the Hall of Truth. You saw Little Seventeen looking nervous, expectant, and a little apprehensive."

"This puppet is worried about itself."

"You felt warm inside, but on the outside you still looked like a villain, raising your hand to ruffle 'Little Seventeen's' hair."

After returning to reality,

Yang Qizhou was not too interested in the daily plot. He took a quick glance and focused on the changes in the two gods, 'Hidden Light' and 'God of Iron and Blood', after their status was upgraded.

Containing the symbol of 4.9 minimum units, they are indeed much stronger, both their divine power and might are five or six times greater than before, but unfortunately... these two gods did not awaken new authority like the 'Winning God'.

For three gods at the limit of the Star Spirit, it shouldn't be a problem for them to deal with the plot deep in the Northern Abyss.

Yang Qizhou also felt more confident.

The game continues.

"Everything that needs to be done has been done, and you can finally make time to listen carefully to Harriet's prayers."

"You controlled the 'Winning God' and put your mind into the illusory white mist. You soon read the message he had generated in the form of prayer."

"'Winning God' who controls good luck, the evil power has emerged from the 'Endless Abyss' and is approaching the 'Bright Outpost' where the 'Northern Tribe' lives. The Northern Tribe there is guarding the 'important thing' that even the 'Abyss Lord' and the 'Deception Lord' have to look at with concern. That is the only hope to fight against the 'Endless Abyss'. I pray for your favor, for your help, and even more for your coming."

"Bright Outpost?"

"You were startled at first, but soon realized that the Bright Outpost that Harriet mentioned was not the building that looked like a huge wall outside the Northern Abyss, but the habitat of the survivors of the Northern Clan."

"You responded through the channel of faith... Prayer, I will send my favored one, your good friend, to where you are. He will bring my 'power' to help you fight against the evil power of the 'Endless Abyss'."

"Through the gray fog, you see a look of great surprise on Harriet's face and her thanks."

"Your consciousness withdrew from the 'Old Roots' and then purchased a 'Transmission Scroll', intending to teleport directly to where Harriet was based on the coordinates he left behind when he prayed."

"Soon you completed your purchase, and a grey-brown scroll appeared in your hand."

"After you said goodbye to 'Xiao Shiqi', you used the 'Space-Time Gate' function to leave the 'Hall of Truth'..."
