From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 1 I Am Not the God of Lies
[A parallel world, not Earth ORZ]

Cold, shaking...

The moment he woke up, Bai Yang jumped up from the ground and looked around in panic.

“Not bad, you are the most well-mannered person among those who came this time.” The young man in black with a scar on his face spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang was startled. "Yuanzu Wuxian, right? Where did you come from?"

With just that one sentence, the cold, dark environment suddenly melted away like snowflakes, and the sunlight shone on his face again.

Bai Yang paused for a moment, then looked up with a hint of helplessness. "We've failed again, Alvin."

“Yes, Your Majesty!” A middle-aged man appeared before Bai Yang, his face showing some fear. “Perhaps we should add some more details…”

"No, let me think about it again... Maybe we've taken the wrong path!" Bai Yang shook his head and decided to change his approach.

Alvin watched him turn and leave, nodded, and his figure disappeared into the air.

Asphalt strolls along the beach, bathed in sunlight, with the picturesque town of Vespuchy behind him, a small town in San Diego County in southwestern California.

Of course, Bai Yang, who has never been abroad, is not a native of this place.

Just two and a half days ago, he was just a struggling writer at home.

But after a fireball streaked across the sky one night, he appeared here and became an unexpected visitor to San Diego, a city near the parallel world nation of America.

That fiery meteor wasn't a real fireball, but rather a fragment of a god that had been knocked down.

Higgs, the god of lies, was the previous master of this divine title.

However, his luck wasn't very good. During the terrible divine war that swept across the entire divine realm on the continent of Dylan, this unlucky guy with weak divine power ran into the divine power fluctuations of the Order God Ogsis and the Abyss Ruler Phillips.

Almost instantly, all his divinity and divine fire were erased, leaving only the most solid divine essence, which pierced through the endless void and landed on Bai Yang's body.

But as a deity, even after traversing countless worlds, it still possesses immense power.

Therefore, after this thing hit Bai Yang, it sent him to his death.

Bai Yang's soul, however, turned out to be a blessing in disguise, completely merging with the divine personality of the God of Lies. In the instant before his death, he instinctively used the remaining divine power to send himself to this seemingly parallel world.

However, this journey and death caused the remaining "divinity" on his divine nature to combine with fragments of his own soul to form a special controlling entity called the "Spirit of Divinity," which then served him as its master.

In a sense, this divine spirit was his first creation.

Bai Yang named him Alvin, meaning a friendly friend and his best assistant.

The spirit of divinity can discover the secrets hidden deep within a god, help him manage and plan his divinity, and even remind him to do things he hasn't thought of.

Through his conversations with the divine spirit Alvin over the past two days, Bai Yang also learned about his situation.

Although he possesses divine status, he already has the essence of a "god".

However, because of that terrible war of the gods, almost all the qualities of a godhood were destroyed. All the divine power, divine authority, and divine office that the unfortunate Higgs had accumulated had completely dissipated.

Only a tiny bit of the divine essence remains, which is the "lie" itself.

That's why Alvin took the initiative to talk to Bai Yang, hoping that he could fabricate lies to maintain this facade.

If it cannot be maintained, this godhood will become a dead godhood after its power is completely exhausted.

By then, both Poplar and Alvin, who rely on their divine status for survival, will die.

As for the divine essence, it will completely turn into a stone in this world without magic.

This was something Bai Yang could not accept; he had just experienced death and did not want to die again.

Moreover, after learning about the true nature of the God of Lies from Alvin, Bai Yang realized that this was his future!
The God of Lies is his name, and the lies he weaves are part of his divine status.

For the God of Lies, he can only gain a special power called "the power of will" when his fabricated lies are believed by others.

Of course, in Alvin's explanation, this force was also called "faith" in the universe they previously inhabited.

The more people believe in him, the stronger their willpower becomes, and the more powerful lies he can weave!

But that's not the key point at all. The key point is that the God of Lies has another special ability: to continue spending ten times the power of his will to turn falsehood into truth!
If you have enough willpower, a lie may not be a lie, but could be the truth!

This is much more exciting than lies!
Bai Yang originally thought that this divine title was just to make him a god, but now he has discovered that it is a path to heaven!

"What do you mean by 'God of Lies'? That's just a term Higgs doesn't know how to use. In my opinion, it's clearly the God of Stories, the Creator!" Bai Yang said shamelessly.

This is certainly not something he made up out of thin air; it is a reality that is very likely to come true!

According to Alvin, in that special world of gods, in a place called the Dylan Continent, even the main god of a pantheon only has about one million core believers.

In other words, one million believers are enough to support a god with moderate to high divine power!
The entire continent of Dylan has a population of less than 50 billion.

However, on that continent, there are a thousand gods who rely on these people for survival!

In this parallel world he inhabited, there were over 100 billion people and a nearly empty market for the power of wills. "Alvin, if I could absorb the power of wills from everyone on this planet, do you think I could become a god?" Bai Yang asked curiously halfway through their journey.

“You are already, Your Majesty!” Alvin replied respectfully in his ear.

However, hope is beautiful, but the road ahead is winding.

Although his future is bright, Bai Yang currently possesses less than 100 points of willpower.

These one hundred points of willpower, let alone transforming into divine power, would be difficult even if he wanted to create a larger projection using lies.

That's why Bai Yang's initial idea was to use these wishes to build a haunted house.

In this way, he only needs to find two unlucky guys in the town of Vespucci to earn his first wish through this haunted house.

However, he first had Alvin seal his memories and tried it on himself, which failed at lightning speed.

This disappointed Bai Yang, as his first idea had failed and he had wasted five points of his willpower.

If all his willpower is depleted and he doesn't have a stable way to obtain more, he will really have to die in this world along with Alvin.

Bai Yang found it hard to accept. He wondered if there was something wrong with his ideas, that the creation of a haunted house could fail so quickly.

“Perhaps it’s because your essence is higher, allowing you to see through the illusion woven from lies at a glance!” Alvin said.

Bai Yang nodded slowly, "That's possible."

“However, Your Majesty, we need to hurry!” Alvin suddenly said. “As you know, when the divine spark appears in this world, the tentacles of the gods of the Dylan Continent will also reach here!”

Bai Yang remained silent, knowing that Alvin was telling the truth.

Although the God of Lies possesses only a weak divine power, he is a true god, and his divine status is a real and authentic existence, a clear stepping stone to advancement!
The powerful gods might not care much about this divine status, but those gods with weak or low-level divine power would definitely want it very much.

Whether it's integrating it into one's own divinity to obtain a divine office, or handing it over to others and elevating them to the status of one's subordinate gods, it's a win-win situation.

The divine essence of the God of Lies, who travels through time and space to his past life and this world, is also a special clue that can be traced!
Once a deity comes to this world, both the divine status and the population of this world will become inexhaustible resources in their eyes!

At that time, Bai Yang, the lucky one who obtained godhood, will become a prisoner of some god, or even a victim of his blade.

Anyway, Bai Yang definitely wouldn't gamble on the other party's kindness.

"I understand!" Bai Yang replied, which was precisely why he needed to increase his strength.

Besides this potential threat, the greater threat actually lies in the very existence of Bai Yang.

He didn't come into this world through a soul transfer; he was a genuine undocumented person, a complete stranger who had never existed in this world before.

This meant that Bai Yang was already being targeted by gangs in neighboring San Diego the moment he arrived in the country.

He came to this town not without the intention of fleeing from disaster, but it was through the power of his vows that he arrived here yesterday.

On the back of his hand, there was even a knife wound left by the gangster when he was escaping!

Therefore, Bai Yang asked again, "Alvin, San Diego...we still have to go back, right?"

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Alvin replied, “The traces of your existence are in that city, and they are also traces of lies!”

"If you don't go back and erase those traces, when the gods descend, you will be locked in your fate because of these lies!"

Bai Yang understood and nodded silently. "So, I have a reason to go back now!"

A slight smile played on his lips as he stroked the scars on the back of his hand, gently tapping his fingers.

"A gang's threat, huh... It really scared us so much before!"

He thought of the panic and disarray he had felt two and a half days ago, when he had just arrived in this world and had not yet mastered this power.

"We will definitely go back, and not only that, we will make them pay the price!" he said indifferently.

After saying this, Bai Yang continued walking along the beach, and soon he arrived at a church.

At that moment, the priest in the church was celebrating Mass.

Bai Yang remembered that it was Sunday.

Seeing the priest in his formal attire and the solemn crowd below, Bai Yang narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly asked Alvin, "Does the power of will gained from a lie have to be directed towards oneself?"

“Of course not Your Majesty!” Alvin replied. “His Majesty Higgs completed his ascension ceremony with a lie pointing to the Lord of Light!”

"The essence of a lie is deception, not worship!"

"I see..." Bai Yang understood after hearing these words!
