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

Chapter 1289: God’s Choice of Wisdom

In the small, second-hand bookstore-like environment, the space between the two rows of bookshelves even made it difficult for Lin Yu to turn around.

In such a space, the girl Yong Lian moved one step closer to Lin Yu and squeezed in front of him.

However, Lin Yu did not feel any ambiguity at all.

If you have to say it...

He now felt like the prime minister entrusted by Emperor Zhaolie to take care of his son in Baidi City.

"Arthur... I'll just call you that for now."

"Since you're willing to take over the 'Fear' project and help Huo Le ascend to the position of Patriarch of the Buyetian Family, are you willing to... help me in other areas as well?"

Buyetian Yonglian said in a low voice.

Although she is the omnipotent and all-powerful head of the Buyetian family, she is also the chosen one of the God of Wisdom, one of the strongest in the wasteland, and a super alchemist who masters the supreme alchemy.

But...Buye Tian Yonglian obviously has things that are beyond his ability.

For example, things after death.

Lin Yu looked at Buye Tian Yonglian. It was rare to see such a vulnerable side of this absolute superior, and it would even arouse special sympathy.

But Lin Yu did not agree to the other party immediately.

"You think too highly of me... Protecting the Buyetian family doesn't seem like something I can do."

"Of course I can help within my ability... But if the Ye Tian family really encounters something devastating, what can I do?"

Buyetian Yonglian raised his head and looked at Lin Yu, still speaking softly: "You are a little too self-deprecating. Your planning ability is not weak... Moreover, these visitors from other worlds like you are growing very fast. I believe that before long, the power you control will not be weaker than your planning ability."

"But similarly, we, the visitors from other worlds, die very quickly," Lin Yu said calmly. "Master, since you have set a five-year period for the Fear Project, that means... you actually still have at least a few years left. It's just a matter of one or two years."

"Even if I agree to this, I might end up dying before you."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Buye Tian Yonglian shook his head.

"You won't... I can see that you won't."

"I know that the situation for you, the visitors from another world, is not easy, but even considering this, I still believe that you have the ability to survive."

Lin Yu chuckled softly: "Thank you so much for your compliment, Master."

"But... I don't have that much confidence in myself."

Buyetian Yonglian said, "Don't worry. Even though I said it would be better if you chose to help out of your own interests, since it's a request, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

"A big reason I'm worried about Nevernight's situation is because... Huo Le might not be the chosen one for my Lord."

"In fact, before I met you, I didn't even know how to solve this problem - but your appearance solved this problem for me."

The two were very close at this moment, and Buye Tian Yonglian held Lin Yu's hand.

"Arthur, are you willing to become the chosen one of the God of Wisdom?"

"This should be a great thing for you, right?"

Lin Yu was stunned.

But then, he immediately rejected Buyetian Yonglian.

"No, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

If he had just joined the "Death Game", Lin Yu might have agreed.

After all, becoming God's chosen one means having powerful strength at your fingertips - even if you don't upgrade your rank, you will still have super high combat power and various practical abilities.

Even now, after Lin Yu borrowed the power of authority from the [Ancient Notes] and used "Zhu Qiansi" to develop the secondary abilities born from the broken authority of destiny, he understood even more clearly that the power related to "authority" has abilities far exceeding those of ordinary [props].

And God's Chosen...

It means being able to constantly borrow the power of the god you believe in.

Becoming the chosen one of the "God of Wisdom" is definitely a huge improvement for oneself.

It can be seen just from Buye Tian Yonglian's performance - even though this chosen one of God has never taken action, Lin Yu will never doubt this guy's fighting ability.

Even though there may be an element of Buye Tianyonglian's own efforts in this, his identity as the chosen one of the God of Wisdom is absolutely indispensable.

But Lin Yu still did not agree to Buye Tian Yonglian.

Because...power comes at a price.

If you become God's chosen one, your activities will inevitably be restricted, and you may be affected by many related "cause and effect".

Being watched by a god is not necessarily a good thing, and becoming the chosen one of a certain god is even more of a fantasy.

There are so many secrets about myself, secrets that even I don’t know the truth about.

Moreover, when one's own "heart realm" is unclear, hastily binding oneself deeply with the authority of "wisdom" may actually cut off one's way to subsequent improvement.

Therefore, Lin Yu clearly rejected Buye Tian Yonglian.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. As for protecting and helping the Buyetian family, as long as I'm not dead by then, I will naturally help to the best of my ability."

"But the only thing I can't do is be chosen by God."

Buyetian Yonglian whispered, "But the fact that he's chosen by God is what worries me the most... A patriarch who isn't chosen by God could easily cause unrest within the family."

"The last time I saw you, after you left this world, my Lord and I have been deducing the deity behind you—but our conclusion is that, although you have been favored by many gods, you are certainly not the chosen one of any particular god."

"If you're worried that my Lord will restrict you, there's no need to worry... because compared to those gods, my Lord may be your best choice."

"The authority of 'wisdom' is extremely special. It causes my Lord to have almost no 'self' awareness, but rather to be in a transcendent state of consciousness. This is almost different from all the gods you have seen. You can rest assured."

Buyetian Yonglian continued.

But Lin Yu's heart was extremely firm - after all, there were too many reasons why he could not become God's chosen one.

"I'm sorry, that's really not possible."

In order to prevent these successive rejections from triggering some bad plots, such as Buye Tian Yonglian forcibly branding himself with the mark of the God of Wisdom, Lin Yu immediately gave a solution to help Buye Tian Yonglian solve his problems while refusing.

"Since the position of the Chosen One is what you are most worried about, I do have a good candidate."

"If Huo Le of the Night Sky is elected as the Patriarch but cannot be chosen by God, besides a visitor from another world like me, there is actually another very good candidate... and I intuitively think that there is a high possibility that he will be favored by the God of Wisdom."

"She simultaneously possesses several characteristics: lack of ambition, great wisdom, and extremely advanced alchemy skills. Moreover, she is also a direct blood relative of Huo Le of Nevernight."

As Lin Yu spoke, Buye Tian Yonglian reacted.

"You...are you talking about Huo Xing?"
