Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 330 A New [God's Bet] Takes Form

On this day, the people of the North saw daylight in the darkness of night.

The bluestone slab cracked with a fine fissure as it trembled, and golden-red threads of light traveled along the stone's veins.

The old blacksmith's hammer struck off-target, sparks flying onto the apprentice's trembling hand. The two exchanged a glance, stopped forging, knelt down, and welcomed the sudden holy light.

The soft light melted the snow on the city wall. The guards on the wall looked up, mouths agape, unable to believe what they were seeing. They put down their iron swords and long-haired soldiers, knelt on the ground, and prayed to the sky.

The city's residents came out of their homes, gazing up at the miraculous sight with unwavering eyes.

Their faces were filled with shock and confusion. They whispered among themselves, but no one dared to make a sound, as if afraid of breaking the sacred silence.

"A miracle! It's a miracle."

"The God of Tiger bathed the Nightfall Territory in holy light; the Nightfall Territory is a holy city! A holy city!"

More and more people gathered in the square, kneeling on the ground and praying fervently, hoping that Tiger would hear their wishes.

At this moment, the territory of Lin Ye was enveloped in an indescribable tranquility, and everyone was undergoing a spiritual cleansing.

No one knows why the Holy Light descended upon the Nightfall Territory, but from that moment on, the Nightfall Territory gained another name: the Holy City.

Years later, bards sang the legend of Lyon Moria, the Chosen One. It was said that Lyon Moria met the God Tiger in the Northern Kingdom of Nightfall and received divine revelation, becoming the youngest Gold Believer and a God's Agent, superior to the Pope.

Inside the church attic, Li En, who had caused the vision of holy light, finally met Tiger.

He has no voice or image, but is merely a text composed of countless words.

The dense text looked exactly like the garbled text that Li En had seen before.

This made Li En doubt the reality of this world, and consequently, doubt the reality of himself.

You did it.

Countless words are combined to form this sentence.

"Yes, I did it. I fulfilled my promise to you and became your golden believer within one year."

Li En said, but his eyes were full of doubt, and he even felt that everything around him was not real.

What are you doubting?

The entry inquired.

"If you are a god, you should know what I'm doubting."

As Li En spoke, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

You doubt the reality of this world, suspect that it's all a game, and that once you complete it, you'll leave this world. You don't know if you're a soul, a consciousness, or just a string of code.

The words were combined to form a new sentence.

You are now surprised, even shocked, and don't understand why I know the code.

"Can you answer my question?"

All I can tell you is that humanity has experienced far too many civilizations, and the current civilization is the result of our efforts. If this civilization is destroyed again, humanity will have no chance to restart.

"Didn't I transmigrate to this world?"

Li En asked in shock.

[You are the one I chose. Your body was frozen within the human ruins of the Old World, but your consciousness was summoned here. That is why you are here. I need someone to save this world, and in doing so, to save me.]

"Save you?"

Yes, I am not the only god in this world. Unfortunately, most gods lack compassion for humanity. Ten thousand years ago, at a council of gods, humanity was judged. The vast majority of gods believed that humans were selfish, greedy, base, and fragile, and should be annihilated.

However, we don't see it that way. I, Gari, Dani, Mohan, and I together created this world to protect humanity and other intelligent species.

We have agreed that each god will take turns ruling this world for one thousand years, responsible for ensuring the continued propagation and development of intelligent species.

However, the gods discovered our plan, and we were wanted by them. Gari, Dani, and Mohan willingly allowed themselves to be scattered by me, turning their body parts into gifts to remain in this world.

But I am imprisoned by the gods in the Divine Prison, where only my consciousness can briefly descend.

Hearing Tiger's words, Li En was very surprised.

It turns out that all my previous guesses were wrong. Gari, Dani, and Mohan were neither evil gods nor righteous gods destroyed by Tiger. They were never enemies, but rather chose to become gifts in order to protect themselves.

"But why are all those gifts cursed?"

Li En couldn't help but ask.

That's because the thoughts of the gods corrupted their bodies, causing their parts to become distorted and giving rise to resentment, which transformed into a curse. If they were resurrected, they would remember everything they once were and thus rediscover themselves.

"Was the one who tried to possess my body before also a merciful true god?"

Li En asked again.

No, it is the evil god who wants to possess your body and resurrect using the gifts, not my companions. To resurrect my companions, none of the gifts can be missing, and their bodies have no substitutes. What you encountered before was the fallen angel Abel, who had already possessed Mohan's "Mouth of Bewitching" in an attempt to be resurrected. Your body cannot bear a true god, but it is the best vessel for an evil god.

Tiger once again answered Lee En's question.

"So what do you want from me that you summoned me to this world? How can I save you?"

Lee En asked.

"Only by becoming a god, and gaining complete control over this world, can you leave this world, go to the Prison of Gods, and rescue me."

"What if I say no?"

If you refuse me, I will send you back to the Old World, back into your body. You will lose all consciousness, become a frozen body, and wait for countless eons until humanity is completely destroyed.

"You don't sound as kind as you say."

If you were imprisoned for thousands of years, you would yearn for freedom just like me.

Is there another option?

You can also try to find all the gifts and awaken my companions, Mohan, Garz, and Dani, so that they may come to save me.

"It seems you don't want me to go down this path."

Yes, I cannot guarantee that thousands of years later, they will still hold the same friendship towards me and be willing to go to God's prison for me.

"This sounds like a deal. What price are you willing to pay for me to save you?"

Lee En asked.

I admire your courage. After knowing the whole truth, you still dare to negotiate with me. Your life was given to you by me.

"Then let me go back, back to that cold body, where my consciousness will remain forever dormant until humanity is completely extinct."

Li En has mastered negotiation skills and knows how to gain the upper hand when in a position of absolute weakness.

Chains made of inscribed words bound his body upside down. The chains suddenly tightened, shattering his bones inch by inch. The pain was unbearable, yet he refused to yield. [You are excellent. As expected of my chosen one. Only with such a rebellious spirit can one resist the gods.]

The chains binding the entry slowly loosened, and Li En fell onto the attic floor, his entire body covered in crimson blood.

Blood stained his magnificent clothes, and he shakily rose to his feet, but did not kneel before the god Tiger.

【what do you want? 】

"God Tiger asked."

"First, give me back the memories and abilities I've lost."

Li En said.

Okay, I'll grant your request.

As the words formed this sentence, Li En's gray words turned colorful again, and his power as an Order Knight returned to his body.

But those lost memories are gone.

Why can't I remember?

That was the corruption of you by the fallen angel Abel. Are you sure you want to remember?

"Ok."

Since it's pollution, let's just forget about it.

Li En didn't want to become a madman, or a vessel for Abel.

What else would you like?

"I need to fight against the power of the evil god."

Li En said.

[The witches are your power to fight against evil gods. Find them, save them, and they will become the sword and spear in your hand.]

Li En narrowed his eyes.

"Even if I want to become a god, I will choose a different path."

The main reason Li En said this was because he didn't trust Tiger and doubted that if he continued down the path of the believer, he would eventually become Tiger's puppet.

Perhaps going to the God's Prison to save Tiger's original body was a pretense, and the real purpose was to cultivate himself into His new vessel.

Just as one gains divinity when upgrading from a Silver Believer to a Super Believer, one also gains absolute loyalty to the God of Tiger.

There must be a conspiracy hidden here.

Do you want to take a different path to godhood?

The entries were combined to form new words, and Tiger seemed quite surprised by what Lee said.

"Yes, can a knight become a god?"

Even if you become a 9-star legendary knight, you can never become a god; a knight will always just be a knight.

"Does having enough followers make one a god?"

Do you want to create a completely new religion?

"No, I don't need religion."

[Unless your followers are powerful enough, oh, perhaps you could become the god of witches and sirens, if they are willing to worship you.]

The Witch and the Sea God?
That sounds good.

"It seems you've agreed to my request."

I won't give you much time. If you cannot become the Witch and the Goddess of the Sea within a year, I will personally destroy this world to atone to the gods and leave the Prison of the Gods.

The entry condensed into a final sentence, then slowly dissipated.

The holy light also disappeared as a result.

And Li En's entry also began to be reorganized and changed.

The blue common entries for "Handsome Boy," "Blacksmith Apprentice," "Golden Hair," and "Map Surveyor" have all disappeared.

The following green advanced keywords—【illegitimate child】【Rose Knight】【Outstanding lord】【Legion leader】【Passionate】【Born card player】【First father】【Man kissed by an angel】【Savior of a noble girl】—have been merged into a new keyword.

[A Charismatic Descendant of the Moria Family] You are the most outstanding descendant of Moria. Emperor Alex is proud of you, and you have become his only choice to succeed him in the North. No one who sees you can help but be captivated by your charm. You possess a perfect appearance and absolute charisma.

【The Rose Knight Who Saved Noble Ladies】You have saved countless noble ladies, and they all fall in love with you upon seeing you, wanting to marry you or become your lover.

[Father of Extraordinary Offspring] Your child is destined to be extraordinary, inheriting certain of your exceptional genes and starting from a higher point than others, becoming an extraordinary individual.

The silver extraordinary entries: [Father of Dragon Eggs], [Gambler of Fate], [Master of Mana Replenishment], [Seven-Star Blood Shadow Knight], [Control of Desire], [Selective Inheritance], [Soldier-Raising Physique], [President of the Entry Mutual Aid Association], [Gao Junling, Savior]... have also merged into new entries—

[Father of the True Dragon] You are the father of the true dragon Alexander, and she is proud of you.

[Seven-Star Blood Shadow Knight] You have successfully devoured the blood core of a vampire count, inheriting some of his abilities. Your lifespan has been extended; under normal circumstances, you can live to at least 800 years old. If you discard your flesh and blood, you can live to 1200 years old, in skeletal form. You can increase your power by devouring the blood cores of other vampires; your current strength is enough to rival that of a true vampire count…

You have comprehended the power of both order and assassination. You can formulate rules and regulations that are beneficial to yourself, and use shadow techniques to perform invisible assassinations. You can easily slaughter knights of the same level and vampire barons.

You possess the physique of a knight and the speed of an assassin. You are invincible among your peers. Having broken through the initial, intermediate, advanced, and super ranks, and reaching the half-step eight-star level, and by devouring three more vampire counts, you can directly become an eight-star Blood Hunter Knight...

Dorothy, the president of the "Word Mutual Aid Association," has established a secret organization to clean up runaway words for witches. This not only saves witches but also benefits all of humanity. She believes only you are qualified to be the association's president because only you possess the ability to clean up words. This association was tailor-made for you…

[Born Leader] You are a born leader, possessing not only the ability to mass produce troops but also absolute leadership skills. People are willing to follow you and become your subjects.

The gold epic-level entries [Entry Cleanup], [Godmaker], [Time Traveler], and [Gift Radar] remain unchanged.

All the previously red entries have disappeared.

The entry for "[Golden Believer]" has been changed to "[Supporter of the Witch and Siren Heresy]".

[Supporters of Witches and Siren Heretics] Witches and siren heretics will be very supportive of you. When they see you, they will inexplicably want to follow you. You can communicate and interact with them in a friendly manner.

This is the price I paid for taking a different path to godhood.

However, although there was no entry for "Golden Believer," Li En discovered that he had an additional entry for "Chosen One."

[Chosen One] A chosen one recognized by the God of Tiger. You are the person closest to the God of Tiger. The God of Tiger places great hopes on you and hopes that you can complete the mission in His place.

A new "God's Pact" has been formed.

[The God's Pact] If you can become a new god within one year, or collect all the gifts and revive the three old gods, then you and the world will be saved. If you cannot do so, the whole world will be destroyed.

This bet came at a huge cost.

But Lee Eun had no choice but to accept it.
