Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1541 What should you do when a loved one dies? You must listen to my opinion on this!

"Ugh……"

A faint sigh escaped the Frost God, who was already furious at the memory of being injured by Lin Yu in this "past illusion," and once again experienced a brief mental pause.

Then, He subconsciously looked at the woman's corpse on the ground and exclaimed, "Teacher Serena?!"

After the Frost God subconsciously called out the other party's name, he immediately realized what was happening and looked at Lin Yu.

"You're up to something, aren't you?!"

"The power of causal threads does not have the ability to bring people back to life!"

Although he lost his judgment for a moment, the Frost God had lived for a long time and was a deity, so he naturally reacted immediately.

Compared to the sigh of a woman on the ground suddenly coming to life...

The guy in front of me is more likely to be the culprit!

And for Lin Yu...

Although the Frost God realized what was happening and began to question himself, he remained completely calm.

Because questioning is normal.

The more questions are raised, the more He cares about this matter... and the more room He has to maneuver.

In Lin Yu's view, gods are never objects that cannot be "deceived"—in fact, he already has experience in deceiving gods.

Therefore, Lin Yu spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Yes, the power of causal threads does not have the ability to bring people back to life, but we have not really returned to the past either, but only entered the 'illusion' of your past."

“I can’t bring this dead person back to life, but… I can move the timeline of this ‘past illusion’ back a little bit, back to the time before ‘Teacher Serena’ died.”

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, he immediately activated the "Trickster" ability of the surging "belief" and transformed it into "reality"!

The minds of gods are truly remarkable; their thoughts were completed in such a short time.

In an instant, Lin Yu sensed a slight change in the entire "Cursional Silk Illusion"—his words had become completely real.

The timeline of the entire illusion has indeed been moved forward somewhat.

This was also Lin Yu's goal—although the physical damage he inflicted on the "past" Frost God in this illusion couldn't affect reality, he could find a way to influence the god on a spiritual level.

Find His vulnerable points, find His past that He is unwilling to face, and figure out exactly what kind of hurt He suffered...

Then, transform this unnecessarily unnegotiable entity into one that is negotiable.

In the rewinding illusion, Lin Yu also saw what was happening inside the mage tower.

This must indeed be a "traumatic memory" for the Frost God.

“Willen, this is indeed a great success, but... you can't publish it publicly!”

"But, Ms. Serena..."

"With the apocalypse approaching, if this magical technology, especially technology involving planes, falls into the hands of 'demons,' the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"But if we do nothing, our world will still perish!"

"Welen! Velen—your technology itself can't save the world—open a portal to the elemental plane, and then what? Make you an elemental being or have other sages complete the transformation? There are billions of people in Night Valley… Even if you can lower the barrier to entry for this technology to the bare minimum, requiring only apprentice-level magic power to complete the transformation, what about those without magical talent?"

"At least I can save millions, tens of millions of people!"

"What you did wasn't salvation—it transformed life forms. Are people still people?! What about the cost? Have you calculated or predicted what kind of magical environment so many elemental and magical life forms would create? What if it...leads to an even worse disaster?!"

“Professor Serena, I’ve calculated it…”

"How could you possibly calculate all the variables and computational complexity on your own? What you're doing is just a 'guess' at best—are you going to stake the lives of all living beings in the Night Valley Realm on your 'guess'?!"

"That's why I'm making it public—whether this technology should be promoted and applied should be discussed by the entire academic community!"

“Wylen, there are not many people in the academic world who can remain rational now... Among the other sages, there are those who do not value the creatures of Night Valley, and those who regard ordinary people without magic as inferior beings. Under the influence of the apocalypse, they are unlikely to make ‘correct judgments’!”

"And you, Teacher Serena, are you always right?"

"...You rebellious disciple, at least I will not risk the lives of all living beings in the Night Valley Realm, that much is absolutely true!"

"That's just your prejudice, teacher!"

"Then consider it my prejudice; I will stop you no matter what!"

Inside the mage tower, Lin Yu observed the illusory images of past causes and effects, watching the debate between the master and disciple escalate into an argument, and then the argument turn into a fight.

Serena raised her hand and unleashed chains of magic at the Frost God, who was then known as "Welen," but then...

Her magic was deflected by the shield that appeared on "Wyllen" and shattered in mid-air.

Stunned, Serena looked at the magical shield on Velen's body, then spoke angrily.

"You're so wary of me, Velen? Very well... you traitor, it seems you've strayed too far from the right path!"

As Serena spoke, she gathered light in her hands and blasted it at the God of Frost once more.

The phantom representing the god of frost spoke in fear from the past.

"Teacher Serena, stop!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the condensed torrent of magic struck the spell shield... but this time, instead of shattering after being deflected, it retaliated against Serena.

"boom!"

Serena's chest was pierced by magic, leaving a horrific hole. She stared in astonishment at the God of Frost, before a torrent of blood gushed from her mouth and nose.

then……

She collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The repetition of the "past" has stopped...

The Frost God, who had also witnessed all these illusions and seen his teacher die again, remained silent for a long time. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Lin Yu, and spoke with an unusually calm tone.

"Is this why you used 'Causal Threads' on me?"

"Now you know that before I became a god, I was someone who killed my own teacher. Are you satisfied now?"

After witnessing all this, Lin Yu, facing the Frost God whose killing intent had intensified once again, did not continue to provoke him.

Instead, he calmed down and spoke in a low voice.

"You call this 'killing your master with your own hands'?"

"But what I see doesn't seem to be like that... Couldn't this be an accident?"

"That fatal attack was even delivered by your teacher himself."

The Frost God immediately spoke up: "Teacher, she didn't want to kill me... she just wanted to shatter the shield on my body—but this shield is an experimental spell called 'Ice Prism' that I developed after communicating with the elemental planes and obtaining the power of frost... She didn't know that this protective spell could reflect attack-type spells."

As the other party gave these explanations, Lin Yu sensed that... the Frost God before him was more like Velen—the mage, the sage Velen, the beloved disciple of the mage named Serena.

“I know, that’s why I said it was an accident,” Lin Yu sighed. “Doesn’t an accident mean… that no one wanted to die, and no one wanted anyone else to die, but someone still got hurt and died?”

The God of Frost was silent for a moment, then spoke: "But I did kill her."

“I understand. It’s normal for people to think that way. Even if the death of a loved one is only slightly related to them, people will magnify that connection and blame themselves,” Lin Yu said in a low voice. “In this respect, I am the same as you.”

"That's probably why you're here, and why you're willing to do anything to escape this cage," Lin Yu said to the God of Frost in a low voice. "Because you've already been burdened with the sin of 'murdering your teacher' in order to save the Night Valley Realm... So, even if you create apocalypse in other worlds, you still want to save the world, because you don't want your teacher to have sacrificed in vain. You want to prove that you can definitely do something, right?"

"Even after being locked up here, you can't stop thinking like this: you do believe you are guilty, but not guilty of the crime that the 'god of fairness and judgment' would use to judge you."

"Therefore, suffering in this eternal prison is not a way for you to 'forgive your sins'; it will only make your heart more and more tormented and make you more and more eager to return to the 'Night Valley Realm' to do something for the world that you and your teacher both love."

"For this... even if it costs you many lives, it would be worth it for you, wouldn't it?"

The God of Frost did not answer Lin Yu's question, but spoke in a low voice.

"Whether you think you've seen through me after I became a god through my past experiences as a mortal or not, it won't change my actions."

“I will still… stick to my ideas, take your identity, and do what I believe I should do.”

Lin Yu spoke earnestly.

“Then you really need to listen to my opinion—first of all, I have a way to leave the eternal prison without killing me or taking my identity.”

"I know you believe in your own plan more than I am saying now, but hold on, let me finish."

Lin Yu looked at the God of Frost, his expression serious and his tone softening.

“I believe that besides saving Night Valley, there is another important thing you can do to end your suffering.”

Why don't you try... to find a way to revive your teacher?
