From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 16 The Trail of Lies

"Your Majesty, our willpower now has two sources!"

Walking down the streets of San Diego, Bai Yang felt a rare moment of relaxation.

Hearing Alvin's words, he chuckled and said, "One is from the town of Vespuchy, and the other is in the San Diego police department, right?"

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Alvin replied, “They provided a total of over 1000 points of fixed willpower yesterday alone.”

Fixed willpower and instantaneous willpower are a way of distinguishing willpower that Poplar specifically developed to classify the varieties of willpower.

These two kinds of aspirations are: one is the aspirations that arise after he caused trouble, which shocked those people's worldviews.

Another type is the power of aspiration that arises daily after the initial shock subsides and they choose acceptance over doubt.

What he needs most right now is, of course, instantaneous willpower.

This is, after all, a purely physical world. Before the God of Lies shattered the world's crystal wall, there should have been no such thing as "mystery" in this world.

But things are different now. Poplar trees have a foundation of "mystery," and thus the power to create that mystery.

Therefore, the worldview of every intelligent life is shattered, and the resulting "instantaneous willpower" is enormous.

They can gain this power of will every time they are deceived!
Only when these people genuinely and unequivocally believe that these scenes are "real" moments can such fleeting willpower no longer be attainable.

However, by then, what they could offer would be "fixed wishes" that could be provided every day.

In a sense, the process by which deities educate believers is also a process of transforming them from momentary providers of willpower into permanent providers of willpower.

Upon hearing Alvin mention fixed willpower, Bai Yang immediately guessed where this willpower came from.

"After the police intervened yesterday, how much wish power did we gain?" Bai Yang asked curiously.

“Not many, only around 5000 points,” Alvin replied. “They shut down communication channels in a very short time and even caught those who had tried to escape. Only a small number of people managed to escape by crossing the border!”

Bai Yang shook the bottle of water in his hand and continued, "The news can be kept under wraps, but people definitely can't. Ivan is still out there. His story has only just begun!"

Bai Yang is not worried at all that the authorities will block these information channels, which will expose his lies.

This time is different from the situation in Vespucci Town. He has really made a huge bet, using divine power to enhance Ivan's combat strength!
As long as he is not captured directly by the authorities in one go, he will definitely be able to help me in the future and continuously obtain the power of will.

He has more plans and a future for this young man from this ancient tribe and the Indian reservation.

The Mayan gods behind Ivan, like the heavens and hells behind Angus, will all become part of Poplar's future plans.

"You want to create two pantheons?" Alvin asked in surprise. "That's impossible. The power of the God of Lies doesn't reach that level!"

"I never said we'd use the power of the God of Lies to achieve that!" Bai Yang smiled and waved his hand. "The power of lies is only meant to make them believe that these things exist!"

He is the architect of this plan, and everyone he pays attention to is a key node in this vast network.

This is also the advantage of the God of Lies; all the hints and powers he gives are, in fact, part of a "lie".

If something truly slips out of his control, he can turn that thing into a real lie!

Therefore, without the intervention of any external god, he is the only extraordinary being in this world.

Bai Yang, lost in thought, slowly stopped and looked up at the building in front of him. "Is this the place?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the shattered crystals of the Godhood of Lies are scattered here!" Alvin's voice slowly drifted over.

"That's quite a coincidence!" Bai Yang looked at the building. He had originally thought that since the place where he landed was a slum, the Lie Crystal should be somewhere nearby, even if it wasn't in the slum.

However, he did not expect that his landing point and the landing point of the divine crystal were completely different.

This crystal actually ended up in a church in San Diego!

"I have such a strong connection with churches!" Bai Yang said, walking forward.

Of course, after obtaining the power called "lie", he was surrounded by the power of will no matter what he did.

Therefore, even if he walks here, he will not be seen by anyone or anything.

Because he deceived everyone around him, they would think there was nothing there, even though he had never been invisible.

It's as if he didn't try to hide anything when he spoke.

His words also contain the power of "lies," which prevents his words from reaching anyone's ears.

This is the true meaning of "I am the only one who follows the law"!
He strode into the church, completely ignoring the tourists around him, the clergy nearby, and the guards.

In Bai Yang's eyes, there was only a "crystal" that was shining.

He strolled into the church, passed through the crowded chapel, walked past the sacrificial site called "Heaven," and went straight through the largest building to a small building at the back.

Next to the small building, you can see volunteers hanging clothes out to dry, and some clergy members wearing black robes hurrying past him.

This must be the building where the clergy lived.

Bai Yang looked up and could see that on the top floor of the building, a crystal the size of a fingernail was emitting a light that only he could see.

“Your Majesty, I can sense the presence of willpower within this crystal of lies!” Alvin suddenly said.

Bai Yang looked at the crystal with great interest, walked up step by step, and then said, "I can also feel it; it's the power of this church's will! Someone is praying to it!"

"That shouldn't be the case... To ordinary people, a fragment of divine power is just like a shard of glass. Why would someone pray to it?" Alvin was very puzzled. He couldn't understand why this was happening!
Bai Yang pushed open the door and saw the woman kneeling on the ground inside, as well as the transparent crystal she had placed on the table.

“We’re already here, why don’t we just take a look and see?” Bai Yang stood beside the woman and calmly picked up the crystal.

The fragments of the God of Lies naturally sensed Bai Yang; they seemed eager to return to Bai Yang and to their original place.

Alvin thought so too, "Your Majesty, now we can repair one more part of the divine essence!"

“No, Alvin!” Bai Yang shook his head. “It’s meaningless. Will this extra bit of power give me greater strength? Will it make our plan go more smoothly?”

Alvin shook his head. "Of course not, Your Majesty. If it weren't for the fear of revealing our location to the other gods, we wouldn't even have a reason to come looking for it!"

Bai Yang smiled and said, "That's it. Whether it's divine fire or divine power, both can repair a godhood, so the significance of this fragment is not in its return!"

"So what do you want to do?"

"I want it to become a new godhood! Even if for a very long time it can only be a false one!"

"But, the moment I ascend to godhood, it will be reborn along with me!"

As Bai Yang spoke, he placed the crystal on his forehead.

“You are on the path to godhood, Your Majesty!” Alvin bowed in admiration.
