From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 1: I Am Not the God of Lies

【Parallel world, not Earth ORZ】

Cold, trembling...

The moment he woke up, Bai Yang jumped up from the ground, looking around in panic.

"Not bad, you're the one with the best quality among this batch of newcomers." A black-clothed young man with scars on his face slowly spoke.

Hearing these words, Bai Yang was startled, "Infinite Ancestor, right? Where the hell have you sent me?"

With just this one sentence, the originally cold, dark environment suddenly dissolved like snowflakes, and sunlight once again shone on his face.

Bai Yang's mind slightly wavered as he somewhat helplessly raised his head, "We failed again, Alvin."

"Yes, Your Grace!" A middle-aged man appeared before Bai Yang, his face carrying some apprehension, "Perhaps we should enrich the details a bit more..."

"No, let me think again... maybe we're going down the wrong path!" Bai Yang shook his head, deciding to change his approach.

Alvin watched him turn and leave, nodded as well, then his figure vanished into mid-air.Leaning against the sunlight, Bai Yang strolled along the beach, behind him the scenic town of Vespuchi, a small town under San Diego County in southwestern California.

Of course, Bai Yang, who had never been abroad before, wasn't a native here.

Just two and a half days ago, he was still just a struggling author typing away at home.

But after a fireball meteor streaked across the sky one night, he appeared here, becoming an unexpected visitor to San Diego, a city near the parallel world country of Amerigo.

That fireball meteor wasn't a real meteor, but a fallen divine spark.

Higgs, the God of Lies, was the previous owner of this divine spark.

But his luck wasn't great - during that terrible divine war that swept through the entire pantheon on the Dylan Continent, this unlucky weak deity happened to encounter the divine energy fluctuations of Order Chief God Ogysis and Abyss Lord Philipps.

He was almost instantly erased of all his divinity and divine fire, leaving only the hardest divine spark, which traversed through endless void and landed on Bai Yang.

But as a divine spark, even after crossing endless worlds, it still possessed immense power.

Therefore, when this thing hit Bai Yang, it directly sent him to the afterlife.

However, Bai Yang's soul benefited from this misfortune, perfectly merging with the God of Lies' divine spark, and at the moment of his impending death, he instinctively used the last remaining divine power on it to send himself to this seemingly familiar yet different parallel world.

But because of this crossing and death, the residual "divinity" on the divine spark combined with his own soul fragments, forming a special control entity called the "Divine Spark Spirit," which acknowledged him as its master.

In a sense, this Divine Spark Spirit was his first creation.

Bai Yang named him Alvin, meaning friendly friend, and he was also his best assistant.

The Divine Spark Spirit could detect the secrets hidden deepest within the divine spark, help him manage and plan the divine spark, and even remind him of things he hadn't thought of.

Through conversations with the Divine Spark Spirit Alvin over these past two days, Bai Yang also learned about his own situation.

Although he possessed a divine spark and already had the essence of a "god,"

because of that terrible divine war, almost all characteristics of the divine spark were destroyed - whether it was the unlucky Higgs' accumulated divine power, divine authority, or divine offices, they had all completely dissipated.

Only a tiny bit of divine essence remained, which was "lies" itself.

Because of this, Alvin proactively spoke with Bai Yang, hoping he would actively weave lies to maintain this essence.

If it couldn't be maintained, this divine spark would become a dead divine spark after its power was completely exhausted.

By that time, both Bai Yang and Alvin, who relied on the divine spark to sustain their lives, would die.

And the divine spark would completely turn into a stone in this magic-less world.

This was naturally unacceptable to Bai Yang - he had just experienced death and didn't want to die again.

Moreover, after learning about the essence of the God of Lies from Alvin, Bai Yang realized that this was his future!

God of Lies was his name, and the lies he weaved were components of his divine position.

For the God of Lies, only when the lies he weaved were believed by others could he obtain the special power called "wish force."

Of course, in Alvin's explanation, in the universe they previously inhabited, this power was also called "faith."

The more people who believed him, the stronger the wish force, and he could weave even more powerful lies!

But this wasn't the key point - the key was that the God of Lies had another special ability: spending ten times the wish force to turn falsehood into truth!

As long as there was enough wish force, lies might not be lies, but could become reality!

This was far more exciting than mere lies!

Originally, Bai Yang thought this divine spark would just make him a god, but now he discovered this was a path to heaven!

"What do you mean God of Lies? That's just Higgs not knowing how to use it properly. In my hands, it's clearly the God of Stories, the Creator!" Bai Yang brazenly declared.

This wasn't baseless boasting - it was very likely achievable reality!

According to Alvin, in that special divine world called the Dylan Continent, even the chief god of a pantheon only had about one million core believers.

Meaning, one million believers could already support a deity with medium or higher divine power!

The entire Dylan Continent combined had only about 5 billion people.

But on that continent, there were a full one thousand deities relying on these people for survival!

Meanwhile, this parallel world he was in had over 10 billion people and an almost blank wish force market.

"Alvin, if I could absorb the wish force of everyone on this planet, do you think I could become a chief god?" Bai Yang asked curiously halfway through his walk.

"You already are one, Your Grace!" Alvin respectfully replied in his ear.

But hopes were beautiful, while the path ahead was winding.

Although his future was bright, the wish force Bai Yang currently possessed was less than 100 points.

With just one hundred points of wish force, forget about converting it into divine power - even creating a slightly larger projection through lies would be difficult.

Because of this, Bai Yang's initial idea was to use this wish force to create a haunted house.

This way, he just needed to find two unlucky people in Vespuchi Town to earn his first batch of wish force through this haunted house.

But when he first had Alvin block his memories and tried it on himself, he failed instantly.

This made Bai Yang quite disappointed - his first idea had failed, wasting five points of his wish force.

If this wish force was exhausted and he still hadn't established a stable channel to obtain wish force, he would truly die in this world together with Alvin.

Bai Yang found this hard to accept. He was thinking about whether there were problems with his ideas, that even creating a haunted house would fail so quickly.

"Perhaps it's because your essence is higher, allowing you to see through illusions woven from lies at a glance!" Alvin said.

Bai Yang slowly nodded, "That's possible."

"But Your Grace, we need to hurry!" Alvin suddenly said, "You know, when the divine spark appeared in this world, the tendrils of those deities from Dylan Continent will also come here!"

Bai Yang fell silent, knowing Alvin spoke the truth.

Although the God of Lies was only a weak deity, he was a true god, and the divine spark was real existence - a clear stepping stone to advancement!

Those chief gods with great divine power might not care much about this divine spark, but those weak or lesser deities would definitely want it very much.

Whether integrating it into their own divine spark to obtain divine offices, or giving it to others to promote them as subordinate gods - it was all beneficial without harm.

And the God of Lies divine spark that crossed time and space to reach his previous life and this world was also a special clue that could be traced!

Once deities came to this world, both the divine spark and this world's population would become endless resources in their eyes!

By then, Bai Yang, this lucky one who obtained the divine spark, would become some deity's prisoner, or even a dead soul under their blade.

Anyway, Bai Yang definitely wouldn't bet on their kindness.

"I understand!" Bai Yang replied. Precisely because of this, he had to enhance his power.

Besides this potential threat, actually the greater threat lay in Bai Yang's very existence.

He didn't come to this world through soul crossing, but was a genuine undocumented person - a stranger who had never appeared in this world before.

This caused Bai Yang to be targeted by gangs from neighboring San Diego on his first day in this country.

His coming to this small town wasn't without meaning of escape - using wish force's power, he only arrived here yesterday.

On the back of his hand, there was even a knife wound left by that gang during his escape!

Therefore, Bai Yang asked again, "Alvin, San Diego City... we still have to go back, right?"

"Yes, Your Grace!" Alvin replied, "Your traces of existence are in that city, and those are traces belonging to lies!"

"If we don't go back to erase those traces, when the deities descend, you will be locked onto because of these lies!"

Bai Yang understood, silently nodding, "So I have a reason to go back!"

A slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as he stroked the scar on the back of his hand, lightly tapping his fingers.

"A gang's threat, heh... before this made us flee in panic!"

He remembered the panic and embarrassment from two and a half days ago, when he had just arrived in this world and hadn't mastered this power yet.

"We're definitely going back - not only going back, but making them pay the price!" he said with an indifferent voice.

At this moment, the priest was conducting mass.

Bai Yang remembered - it was Sunday today.

Seeing the priest in ceremonial robes and the solemn crowd below, Bai Yang narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly asked Alvin, "Does the wish force obtained from lies have to be directed at oneself?"

"Of course not, Your Grace!" Alvin replied, "Lord Higgs once used a lie directed at the Lord of Radiance to complete his ascension ceremony!"

"The essence of lies is deception, not worship!"

"I see..." Hearing these words, Bai Yang understood!
