No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Wen Gu dared not think too much about matters of the gods.

But he seemed to understand why Miss Number One had remained so calm and composed throughout.

He thought he was conducting a high-IQ test, choosing sides, and seeking a way to survive. But in other people's eyes, a cup of "water" given to him casually was a miracle that his group of people could never touch in their entire lives.

Deduction? Logic?

Faced with absolute dominance, Wen Gu's once-proud rationality is crumbling little by little.

His mind raced uncontrollably: Could there really be such a coincidence in the world? In this world filled with strangeness and despair, do "gods" really exist?

If there truly is a god, how could He stand by and watch these killings continue unabated?

Perhaps all of this is too far in the future, but Wen Gu is certain that the origin of this Miss Number One is probably more mysterious and terrifying than any of them can imagine!

At the same time, the "Sanctuary Church" behind her is by no means just a reclusive player guild.

Wen Gu pushed up his glasses, his thoughts returning to normal.

He increasingly felt that their previous guesses about Miss Number One's background were probably too conservative.

Yuexi stood in the shadows at the intersection of the corridor, her red dress appearing particularly somber in the dim light.

The Queen of Spades in the corner of the living room was continuously transmitting images of what was behind her back into her mind. That card could transmit images and, if necessary, could also shield her from a fatal attack.

She originally left the card simply to check if the seemingly sickly number one would get hurt. If he did, she wouldn't mind going back to "help" him.

However, when the identification results appeared, Yuexi's expression became particularly complex.

SS level.

Divine blood, favoritism.

Yuexi had seen too many powerful individuals who hid their trump cards deep inside, fearing being outmaneuvered. But Miss Number One was different; she handed over the SS-grade consumable stained with divine blood to them as casually as a glass of water.

Is it that she doesn't care? Or is it that she... is never lacking in divine favor?

Oh right, before they'd gone very far, Yuexi suddenly remembered something.

At the library... she was so focused on looking at people that she didn't pay attention to the details.

Now that I think about it, would someone who can be marked as "favored by the gods" by the system in dark gold font just casually pick up an unimportant book?

Just then, Wen Gu looked up, and their eyes met in the dimly lit corridor.

Without saying a word, the answer is already in the middle.

Wen Gu was not surprised at all: "Miss Yuexi, I'm sure you guessed it already."

Yuexi, too lazy to play dumb, said, "Let's go back to the library."

The remaining few weren't fools either; each with their own thoughts, they rushed headlong toward the library.

...On the other side, Mu Zhixi was watching the comments section with great interest.

After confirming that the camera in the live stream was indeed no longer on her side as most people left, Mu Zhixi shrank deeper into the soft sofa without any regard for her image and let out a long sigh of relief.

She's finally gone. I don't have to put on that aristocratic goddess act anymore.

But even as she relaxed, Mu Zhixi's mind kept working.

She was still figuring out how to perfectly "bump into" the gods in front of these people.

She glanced at the comments scrolling across the edge of her field of vision and found that, as expected, countless viewers were going crazy over what had just happened.

The core of the discussion centered on the word "deity".

Are the appraisers' skills acting up? How come even a 'god' has appeared?

[Don't fool yourself yet! An appraiser might misjudge, but can a system-mandated, gold-lettered copy notification really lie?!]

[Holy crap, could the number one beauty really be the one favored by the gods, as described in the dungeon system's comments?!]

[Divine Blood? SS-grade consumables given away for free! If I don't latch onto this powerful figure, am I even human?!]

With such a beautiful teammate, I could easily handle a mere six-star dungeon!

Mu Zhixi glanced at the backstage area, her eyes filled with surprise.

She never expected that the "Sanctuary Glimmer" concentrate she casually created would be so powerful, and was directly incorporated into the system's world setting.

Even more outrageous is that in just a short time, her number of followers has already increased to 100,000!

Seeing this astonishing increase, Mu Zhixi decided: continue with the staged accidents! And she'll go all out!

In the bizarre world of infinite flow, what could evoke more discussion and awe than the word "god"?

There are countless top players, but as long as she is associated with a "god" or even becomes the "god's only favorite," she will definitely become the most watched person in the world the moment her identity is revealed.

This rank alone is enough to distinguish her from all the other players struggling to survive!

Not only that, Mu Zhixi's gaze fell on a comment on the live stream that shipped a couple, and an idea immediately popped into her mind.

If you're going to act in it, why not make the premise more compelling?

Make a fuss about "God's favoritism"!

What if that supreme, formless, and absolutely just God happens to show an inappropriate "favoritism" towards the believers who worship Him day and night?

This young believer was saved from despair by God when she was a child. The eyes she now covers with white feathers are a gift from God, who personally took off his own eyes.

After all, it was a background tool god that Mu Zhixi had personally created, so she didn't mind layering on its mystery and supreme power.

Moreover, this deity is just one of her many aliases!

The more unfathomable and supremely powerful a deity is portrayed, the more elusive and mysterious her background becomes, as the only person He favors in the world, and the less anyone dares to investigate.

At worst, it can randomly scare a few random players to death!

This perfectly explains the goddess's divinity and motivation.

She was not only a fervent fan of the Lord, but also, over the long years, developed a deep obsession with Him because of His unique favoritism.

However, the gods disappeared several eons ago, perhaps for some reason, or perhaps in a slumber.

The goddess could no longer contact her beloved "Lord".

Even so, even after several eras have passed, even with her lifespan nearly over and her body so weak, she still treats all the lost souls of the world with gentleness.

She walks alone through endless, bizarre dungeons, attempting to integrate the forces left over from the ancient era to fight against the pervasive "pollution."

All this is to preserve the last spark of this world, protect more people, and at the same time search for even the slightest trace left by the "Master".

With such a beautiful, strong, and tragic character and such a massive script, who wouldn't be confused!

As for the word "miserable," it's mostly just a way to give the goddess a more appealing title.

She doesn't have any special fetish for self-torture; what she wants is a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex beauty and a strong, powerful woman!

In her heart, Mu Zhixi gave herself a thumbs up.

To be honest, I have to thank that viewer in the live chat who was shipping the goddess and the main couple; it was like a gift from heaven!

In order to make this rhetoric and grand worldview a perfect fit, Mu Zhixi had just instructed her three cheap subordinates to replace the book she had read with "The Lost Era" on their way to the library.

That book, of course, contained "secrets of the ancient era" that she had made up when she was hospitalized with a fever in her previous life.

The symbiosis of God and his agents in the theocratic era, the rise of the old royal court in the monarchical era, the arrogance of man conquering nature, the collapse of the changing eras...

She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, during her seventh year in the hospital, the person in the next bed was a graduate student majoring in theology, who talked to her every day about the history of the struggle between divine and royal power.

Mu Zhixi got bored listening to the stories, so she simply modified the world-building using those materials, wrote about 30,000 words, and then abandoned the project.

These 30,000 words have now become "Secrets of the Ancient Era".

It's time to subtly reveal some clues about the main storyline of the Ancient Era and the Old Empire to Wen Gu and Yue Xi, these high-quality "leeks," through that book.
