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

Chapter 1540 The Power of Cause and Effect, The Past of the Gods

"Click, click!"

The ice crystals kept cracking, a series of crisp sounds rang out, and the cracks continued to spread, forming large patches of spiderweb-like marks.

A look of astonishment appeared on the face of the Frost God.

"You, a mere mortal, actually possess a second authority?"

As a deity who has now expanded his divine kingdom, He is naturally very sensitive to changes in authority.

not to mention……

At this moment, He could feel that the very foundation of His divine kingdom, and even the authority of "frost" itself, was being shaken by this newly emerging authority!

Even if the Frost Authority and the main power and might of the Divine Kingdom are currently being used to suppress "information," they shouldn't be so easily shaken.

unless……

But that's impossible!

"What...what kind of authority is this?!"

"The God of Frost asked incredulously."

Lin Yu looked at the astonished God of Frost and laughed.

"I will not tell you."

The God of Frost turned around, and the photographs drifted down like snowflakes.

"No, this is not complete authority...this is broken authority?!"

The Frost God took the photograph and realized that this newly emerged authority was not a complete authority.

But this did not comfort the Frost God; instead, it made him even more uneasy.

If this authority can shake "Frost" even in an incomplete state, it makes the God of Frost realize that his fleeting, seemingly impossible worry might actually be true.

After all, there is only one broken authority within the ten realms.

Moreover, if it really is that broken authority, it can explain... why the appearance of this broken authority can directly shake his "frost".

"Could this be... fate?"

As the God of Frost spoke, Lin Yu's voice rang out behind him.

"They have good taste."

“That’s right, it is… ‘fate’.”

The Frost God turned back again...

He saw a vast expanse of white—silk threads.

"This is the 'Causal Thread Divine Power' of the 'Fate Servant'?!"

The God of Frost exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yu's face lit up with a happy expression upon hearing the other person's words.

"You really know your stuff!"

This saves me the trouble of using the "guest appearance invitation" to call Zhu Qiansi over from her vacation—after all, inviting Zhu Qiansi now might come at a high price and could even extend her vacation.

Although the God of Frost is currently sealed, his divine status will not be diminished in the slightest due to the seal.

A belief from a deity is enough to make the "threads of cause and effect" become reality.

The overwhelming causal threads surged toward the God of Frost, who could only manipulate the broken frost to condense before him.

At this very moment, in this battle between mortals and gods...

Easy to attack and defend!

And just as Lin Yu knew...

The moment the causal threads came true, the broken "fate" was also stirred by this method!

The power of "fate" flows into the "threads of cause and effect," penetrating the condensed frost!

With the blessing of this genuine [Fragment of Fate], coupled with the realized "Threads of Cause and Effect," even gods... can be affected!

The causal threads seeped into the body of the Frost God, and then...

The power of the "Fate" authority affected the Frost God, and the illusion of causal threads dragged the two into it.

Inside the prison cell, the scene shifts and changes once again.

Then, the two arrived at...

Inside a tall tower.

The gray brick walls were engraved with various glowing magical patterns; cabinets on the walls contained colorful silk scrolls; strange materials such as scales and ores were piled up like small mountains on long wooden tables; and blood-red clouds churned outside the narrow window.

The stereotypical interior of the "Mage Tower" appeared before Lin Yu, who then looked at the "Frost God" opposite him.

At this moment, the God of Frost was wearing a gray-white robe, with long, thick, black hair and no beard, and still looked very young.

Without a doubt, this was His past before He became God.

Moreover, for the God of Frost, this must have been a very important day in His past.

Because inside the room of this tower, besides the Frost God himself, Lin Yu is... a third "person".

The reason it's called "human" in quotation marks isn't because this third party is some kind of subspecies of human, but because...

The third person lay lifeless in a pool of blood on the ground.

That was another woman, also wearing a gray mage's robe, her hair scattered in the blood soaking the ground, and a grotesque circular wound running through her chest from her back.

Because the other party was lying face down on the ground and could not see her face clearly, and because it is difficult to judge the appearance of someone who has mastered extraordinary power, Lin Yu did not know how old the woman was, let alone her relationship with the God of Frost.

But Lin Yuneng knew...

She is definitely not a random passerby with no connection to the God of Frost.

This woman and her death must have been of great importance to the Frost God.

That is why this scene was presented to him by "fate".

and……

Lin Yu could also tell this from the Frost God's reaction.

At this moment, the Frost God in this causal illusion stared intently at Lin Yu, an unprecedented killing intent surging from his body.

Although He had intended to kill Lin Yu before, Lin Yu could sense that... the Frost God had not intended to kill him.

It was more like a "business as usual" approach—He didn't want to die; it was just that His plan required His death.

There was no hatred, no murderous intent, and no emotion whatsoever.

Just like a simple old farmer who goes to the chicken coop to select ingredients to entertain guests and children when distinguished guests or his grandchildren come back from the city for a holiday—he doesn't hate the chickens, he just needs them to die.

But at this moment, the situation has changed.

Lin Yu was being stared at by the other party and felt their clear...killing intent and hatred.

He was no longer a chicken targeted because of his bright feathers and plump body, but a chicken targeted because he pecked and frightened the old farmer's grandson.

However, the difference between Lin Yu and a chicken is... he is not a poultry that can only be slaughtered.

Lin Yu maintained his smile despite the hatred in the Frost God's eyes.

"It seems we've come to a past you'd rather not face."

"Did you kill the people who died on the ground?"

"What is your relationship with her? Master and disciple, companions, siblings, father and daughter, mother and son, lovers?"

The God of Frost spoke coldly: "Enough with the nonsense... Do you think you're absolutely safe within the illusion created by the 'Threads of Cause and Effect' technique?"

"Even in the 'past,' as a god... the power of my authority will not fail!"

As the God of Frost spoke, frost once again condensed in the hands of the younger version of Him.

"Shh!"

A frost swept towards Lin Yu, freezing the air in its path.

Lin Yu's figure flashed, easily dodging the frost.

Although the Frost God is right, as a deity, He can still invoke the power of authority even when He does not possess "authority" within the past created by the threads of cause and effect. This disregard for the limitations of the "past" created by the threads of cause and effect is something that an existence without becoming a god could never do...

However, after He made his move, Lin Yu also realized that His abilities were definitely not without any limitations!

At least just now... even in the realm of the "God of Fairness and Judgment," He could still easily drag the entire prison cell into a frozen zone.

But now, He cannot do it!

This proves one thing... the Frost God's abilities are now greatly limited.

In this "Karma Silk Illusion", Lin Yu did not even use Zhu Qiansi's "Karma Silk" to enter this time, so this place is actually equivalent to his "home field"!

The way his figure flickered just now was one of Lin Yu's abilities—he could appear anywhere within this causal thread supernatural power without being affected!

As one grows, the other loses…

Lin Yu even possessed the ability to suppress a god here!

"Shh!"

Lin Yu appeared behind the God of Frost, and after reaching out his hand, a piece of ore flew from the table into Lin Yu's hand.

"Oh!"

Lin Yu slammed the ore heavily onto the head of the Frost God—although the Frost God could still use the power of "authority" at this moment, in the past before he became a god, he did not have the power and status of a god, and his body was... just a mortal body.

This mage from "Night Valley Realm," dressed in a mage's robe, is clearly not very good at close combat!

Blood streamed down his forehead. The God of Frost turned and sent a chill toward Lin Yu, but Lin Yu dodged it again.

"You damned... mortal!"

Blood gushed from the head of the Frost God, and the long-lost pain made him feel immensely humiliated, causing him to cry out in anger.

Lin Yu looked at the wound on the Frost God's forehead and thought to himself.

"Very good... went very smoothly."

Although Lin Yu knew that the injuries caused by the "past" would be greatly diminished when projected into reality, especially since the Frost God was a deity in reality, even if they did appear on Him, they could not have any real impact on Him.

but……

Lin Yu's goal was not actually to injure Him here, thereby rendering the deity incapable of acting in reality.

What he wanted to do was to provoke the God of Frost, causing Him to further lose His judgment and control within this "causal illusion".

And now, Lin Yu has done it.

He could sense that the being before him, who had always emphasized the distinction between "gods and mortals," was now filled with extreme rage after being hurt by him, a mere mortal.

And this extreme anger also represents...

At this moment, the Frost God's rationality and judgment have dropped to their lowest point!

So……

Lin Yu naturally seized this moment and began to implement his plan.

The woman lying on the ground twitched slightly and let out a soft sigh.
