I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

There are just too many movies, and not every movie has ever been seen by anyone.

Sometimes, audiences only know the plot outline of certain movies and the general process, but they don't know the details. Like a cat in a box, its fate is unknown.

Therefore, some viewers, in order to make the movie develop in the direction they expect, will use their power to find someone to tamper with the content of those film reels.

Different audiences have different preferences; some like tragedies, while others prefer comedies. Conflicts and contradictions constantly and indirectly change the content of the film.

This is the origin of the Chosen Ones.

To detach oneself from the film and become an audience member, one needs to travel to foreign lands and then completely detach oneself from them.

This is sublimation.

The Taoist Heming once said that the way to become a god is to leave an indelible mark on the world and sublimate into a concept-like existence.

But now it seems that it was just an incomplete path to godhood. Such a god could only wander in a certain range of alien realms, but could not reach the height of a true god.

The true deities are the players.

The audience, readers, and players in this foreign land are none other than the Great Old Ones.

As for the alien god Leopard, he is a director, screenwriter, and actor from another world.

Lu Ban wanted to protect the world he lived in from pollution, so he provided pollution from another realm in advance, raising the erosion threshold of the entire world.

But if we truly want to free the world from the effects of pollution, we must present this exotic land to the "audience".

It is written, photographed, and narrated by a single creator, observed and frozen by countless Great Old Ones, forming an unalterable work.

Lu Ban must transform from a member of this alien realm into a "director" capable of controlling it.

He must seize the pen that writes the script from that unknowable being in a higher position and write the ending and end of this world himself.

He must become the Great Old One, surpassing the Great Old Ones, the God of Gods.

Chapter 838 [Primordial Cherry Blossoms]

Congratulations on completing the task!

Settlement begins now.

[Mission Exploration Progress: ???]

[Task completion status: ???]

To be or not to be, that is the question. To meet death with dignity in silence, or to cross the narrow gate amidst struggle and loss, and in your presence, witness the sprouting of the thirst for survival, nourished by the pain and despair of countless lives, bringing a glimmer of hope to this dark world. At least it still exists, doesn't it?

[Gained Silence Points: 500000]

[Reward for obtaining the profession: Item: Sprout]

Settlement complete

The seeds you planted have quietly sprouted; now is the time to reap the rewards. To become a player, you must abandon everything and stop at nothing to ascend the path to godhood. Don't hesitate, unleash the true tide!

[Select to complete career development tasks]

Welcome back to the Silent Land!

Lu Ban looked at his palm.

There, a pale pink cherry blossom lingered.

【Primordial Cherry Blossoms】

The first petal to fall from the Divine Cherry Blossom.

The sacred cherry blossom that covers the entire Wajima Taisha Shrine was originally just a small sapling. People worshipped, cared for, and offered sacrifices to it, and as the sacred cherry blossom grew, it protected everyone.

The petals of the divine cherry blossoms drifted down gently, as always.

He found it hard to determine whether the Divine Cherry Blossom had started as a sapling, but at least now, he held the first petals in his hand.

Lu Ban now regrets that he didn't ask Lao Song about the whereabouts of the [Fragment of the Glorious Realm] when he met him. But now that he thinks about it, such a fragment from another realm is probably not something that people like Lao Song, who are still in the golden age of the Glorious Realm, can come into contact with.

"I'm so tired, I want to touch it."

Beside him, Leopard stretched and stood up, looking very sleepy.

"I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything."

As she spoke, she vanished into thin air.

Lu Ban stared at the spot where Leopard had disappeared for a while before standing up and going to the bathroom.

Lu Ban in the mirror greeted him, then turned on the tap and washed his face.

To become a "player" like Leopard, Lu Ban must transcend this world.

This is completely opposite to the path to godhood that Daoist Heming comprehended.

Crane Cry Daoist's ascension to godhood required the support of another realm, but Leopard Leopard did not have her own other realm. She was merely an incarnation of an outer god, and her true form left its mark in all other realms. This, in turn, meant that she did not depend on any other realm.

Lu Ban has indeed left his mark on this world. So, the next step is for him to withdraw himself from this world, make the existence of "Lu Ban" disappear, and replace it with a concept that transcends time and space.

"How do we do this? Or should we ask Leopard?"

Lu Ban thought about it and decided to figure it out himself.

Firstly, Leopard is merely an avatar, and she may not be aware of the most crucial knowledge. Otherwise, Charlotte in the ruined city wouldn't have considered betraying her true self and becoming a true deity.

Secondly, even if the leopard's true form were willing to share some knowledge, it would probably be a god born in Rome, and might not even know how it came to be. If someone asked, "How did you become a god?" and the answer was, "I don't know, I was born this way," wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?

He returned to the living room, and a seed appeared in his hand.

The reward for this mission is not a video or game asset, but a seed.

【bud】

【sublimation】

Seeds from the same source as the sacred cherry blossoms of Wajima can grow into towering trees.

That cherry blossom tree brought salvation to the island, and the way of salvation varied depending on the foreign land; on that vast sea, it was a purifying fire.

[Capable of bearing sufficient pollution, will, and distortion, it flourishes and takes root.]

Just a little bit of nutrients, just a tiny bit.

"I would give everything to save this world. Is there anything more beautiful than that?"

These seeds are pale gray on the surface, about the size of a fingernail, and heavy, as if they contain a world inside.

According to the description, this is the same as the sacred cherry blossom on the island. If you plant it, it might grow into a sacred cherry blossom as well.

It's unclear whether it was the result of Sia's magic or if she already possessed a similar extraordinary item.

The Divine Cherry Blossom can contain pollution, control purifying fire, and even bear the souls and curses of all the priestesses, including Sia, making it an incredibly powerful vessel.

This means that the Divine Cherry Blossom itself is severely polluted, even surpassing the level of the Pure Fire.

After all, the Pure Fire cannot burn the Divine Cherry Blossom, but the power of the Divine Cherry Blossom can control the Pure Fire.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban suddenly had an idea.

The magic network needs a carrier that can contain and withstand the contamination without losing control. In the Night Kingdom, it is a distributed network structure composed of many mages, including Jost.

But this world lacks such a pillar.

Perhaps this sacred cherry tree can play a role?

Since I've got this seed, I definitely have to share it... and plant it. If you ask why, it's because the seed is right here.

As Lu Ban pondered where to plant this seed, the distorted glass marks on the coffee table formed cold, indifferent words in the silent place.

[Career Development Tasks]

The path to godhood requires sufficient power, and knowledge is the simplest manifestation of power. An individual's energy is limited, but the combined energy of countless individuals can create miracles. Choose your followers and believers, and scatter them to various exotic lands to absorb boundless knowledge for you.

[Task Requirements: Knowledge: 0/10000000]

"I want more, much more, I'm not satisfied yet, I want more..."

"Collecting knowledge?"

Lu Ban found this task somewhat difficult to understand.

He turned on the TV, and an idol drama was playing on the channel. Lu Ban watched for a while, then glanced at the progress bar.

[Knowledge: 0/10000000]

They have absolutely no knowledge...

Lu Ban sighed.

However, it's unrealistic to learn knowledge from watching idol dramas.

He immediately changed the channel to a science and education channel, where a documentary was playing, talking about the ecological environment of some animals.

Lu Ban watched it with great interest for a while, then looked at the progress bar.

[Knowledge: 0/10000000]

"Ok?"

Lu Ban felt that although the pollution of this knowledge should no longer be a big deal to him, he should still be able to calculate a little bit of knowledge.

But why hasn't it improved at all?

Lu Ban thought for a moment.

One possibility has been proposed.

That is, the content of this documentary is inaccurate and not factual.

Thinking of this, Lu Ban immediately found the documentary production team's number and called them.

"Hello, I think your program may have some factual errors."

As soon as the call connected, Lu Ban spoke.

Chapter 839 The Joy of Growing Up

When Hao Han from the production team of "Animal Legends" received Lu Ban's call, he was still a little skeptical.
