He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

In a more distant time and space, Xie Bai stared at the player panel in front of him, trying to find something special about it.

But over time, apart from confirming that it was just a simple panel, she didn't find anything else wrong with it.

"Am I just overthinking it?"

Just as Xie Bai was about to give up, she suddenly noticed that an icon seemed to have appeared in the upper right corner.

【set up】

"Um?"

Xie Bai was suddenly taken aback.

Did this thing have settings features before?

Puzzled, Xie Bai tried opening the settings.

After browsing through the contents, she found that it was no different from the settings of a regular game, all revolving around graphics quality, volume, resource configuration, and so on.

She tried the picture quality and volume adjustment functions, but apart from making her eyes and ears uncomfortable, they were of almost no other practical use.

After adjusting the image quality and volume, Xie Bai turned his attention to resource allocation.

After clicking, she discovered that she only had one option to choose from.

[Initialize current resources?]

"Initialization...does that mean initializing the game resources?"

Seeing this, Xie Bai had some doubts, but since she had no other choice at the moment, she could only take it one step at a time and pressed the confirm option.

The next second, a progress bar appeared out of nowhere in front of Xie Bai.

[…Initializing…1.2%…2.3%…4.6%…]

At the same time, a bright golden thread appeared, immediately attracting Xie Bai's attention.

At first glance, Xie Bai recognized what the silk thread was based on his past experience.

"This is... the main timeline?"

Although she often sees the thread states of other branch timelines, this is the first time she has seen the thread state of the main timeline.

Similar to the Golden Timeline, the main timeline emits an exceptionally bright gold light, completely overshadowing the Golden Timeline in both brightness and size.

As the progress bar moved forward, an increasing number of branching timelines appeared in front of Xie Bai.

These were all branch timelines that Xie Bai had already collected, and now they were all here, wrapped around the main timeline.

In the dim light, Xie Bai also saw a dark shadow wandering around the main timeline, constantly providing branch timelines to the main timeline.

With the repairs done to the branch timelines, the main timeline is becoming increasingly bright and its size is constantly growing.

Finally, the progress bar stopped at 100%, and the main timeline was completed with its final repairs.

[Resource initialization successful!]

The "Sacred Timeline" has been patched and the "Game" has been fully integrated into the "Sacred Timeline".

Upon receiving this notification, Xie Bai finally understood what had just been repaired.

"Wait, what did you say was just repaired? And what else was mounted on it?"

As soon as she said this, the player panel in front of her suddenly collapsed.

The interface is convoluted and gradually shrinks.

Before she could react, the perfectly good player panel collapsed into a tiny singularity.

Xie Bai stared at the singularity, his mind still reeling from what had just happened.

After calming down, she began to examine the singularity.

"Is this what the player panel meant by resource initialization? Compressing myself into a singularity?"

At this moment, Xie Bai wasn't quite sure what use this singularity, which had sacrificed a piece of her player panel, was.

The only thing that is certain is that her power was not lost because of the loss of the player panel.

Now that the Book of Truth is not nearby, the information viewing function that originally came with the player panel is no longer usable.

To find out the purpose of this singularity, one can only rely on the scattered clusters currently circling around her.

Unfortunately, even the Exiles were not familiar with information about this singularity.

[I apologize, I am not familiar with the nature of this unknown power, but based on my basic assessment, it should possess a considerably high status, at least on par with the High Court, and replace its position as the originator of all things.]

Faced with the explanation given by the Yisan Group, Xie Bai nodded thoughtfully.

"This thing can replace the High Court? That's quite a coincidence; it's exactly what I wanted..."

Xie Baineng was certain that this function was not previously set up on the player panel.

However, Xie Bai didn't dwell on it too much.

Anyway, she just happened to need something of equal standing to replace the High Court, and since her needs had been met, she didn't need to delve into the reasons behind it.

At least she doesn't think there's anything that can harm her now.

She was a little surprised, not expecting that the player panel that had been with her for so long would have this use, truly serving her purpose throughout.

It's time to say goodbye to the player panel.

Just as Xie Bai was pondering how to use this singularity, he saw it suddenly move on its own and float to the core position where the Supreme Court had originally been.

Along with it, the newly restored sacred timeline was also destroyed.

The sacred timeline revolved around the singularity, and then suddenly branches floated out from inside the singularity.

Like a seed growing underground, the space around the singularity was quickly filled with branches.

The branch continued to spread until it reached Xie Bai before gradually stopping.

For some reason, Xie Bai felt that this branch extending from the singularity seemed to want to communicate with him.

Xie Bai stretched out his finger and tried touching the tip of the branch.

The next second, the panel notification that should have disappeared reappeared in front of her.

[Pick up the "Game Godhood"?]

"Game...game godhood?"

Xie Bai was suddenly stunned.

It was only then that she noticed a problem she had never paid attention to before.

Since all sorts of gods and authorities exist in this world, why has she never seen a game?

She subconsciously thought that the concept of games should be categorized as art, since there is a god of art in this world.

However, considering the significance of games to this world, especially the strong connections between games and various settings in different places, it seems that the god of art does not have the ability to incorporate games into its own concept.

However, she no longer needs to worry about these issues.

Before this, she had been pondering a question: why bother splitting the timeline into branching timelines and then reassembling it, when it seemed like a waste of effort and had no apparent purpose?

But recalling the prompt that popped up during the initialization, Xie Bai could now roughly guess the reason behind it.

"After someone disassembled the timeline, they added concepts that didn't belong here. When the timelines were reassembled, the foreign elements took root and grew back to where they started."
