《Becoming God of a Dystopian World 》Chapter 19: A Crimson God?
Advertisement
Finally, after Zhao Luo understood the division of ways on the difficulty level, the page turned blank again.
While Zhao Luo was waiting for the new set of lines to appear on that blank page, he had a thought.
'Where do I stand on the path to Godhood?'
'How hard is my way?'
'How powerful will I be once I become a God after following my path?'
Such thoughts lingered in his mind.
The set of lines started appearing.
Zhao Luo stopped thinking and focused on the page again. The title was still the same as the last one.
"Ways"
Zhao Luo read it out loud and then saw that there was a new heading that hadn't appeared before this time.
"Your Way"
Zhao Luo knew that the book was addressing him.
There were only two lines below the 'Your Way' heading.
Zhao Luo read the first line,
"The best way to become a God is to follow the path that gives the greatest strength."
Zhao Luo was immersed in the line thinking about how he agreed with this.
When a person is aiming to become something then if he isn't the strongest or the best once he becomes that, then what's the use of working all along the way.
Zhao Luo continued to the second line.
"The path that can result in the strongest powers is the path on Heaven's Way."
The new content ended here leaving Zhao Luo in a questioning state regarding this Heaven's way.
The words stayed there for a second after Zhao Luo had read them then they slid to left disappearing the thick first page of the heavens tomb.
As they were disappearing new words were appearing on the page again.
This time there were only two words that appeared. They were grand yet they were something that Zhao Luo was expecting as he already had many books so he knew how the writers would get the reader's attention.
'By leaving them in a cliff hanger then starting from that cliff hanger to get the audience more immersed in it.'
So as he had expected these words were,
"Heaven's Way"
Zhao Luo read the words and knew that he was finally getting to the ripe part.
The excited Zhao Luo was ready to learn Heaven's Way.
He was ready to become the strongest God ever.
He was ready to work hard and give his all on this path.
He was ready to be freed from this capsule.
He was ready to move his body.
As he was already ready for all of the above, new words appeared on the page.

"The heaven's way is a combination of all our knowledge. We, the Seven Gods who are the strongest of our time are standing on a peak that is unseen by the ones who call themselves God too. Yet the 'Heaven's Way' which we have created will take you to a peak even higher than ours. Only the worthy ones will stay on this way. Even on this way, only the ones with the strongest wills will surpass us."
Zhao Luo read all of it with a stern expression.
"Another long explanation but an interesting one indeed. It's like these seven Gods are talking to me personally."
Zhao Luo said after reading it.
That was the end of the words and now the new content was to appear as it had been happening all this time.
Zhao Luo waited to read the next part but instead of disappearing these words were still there. Then he waited for a little more yet nothing out of the ordinary happened. The lines were still there, the words were the same too.
Then Zhao Luo tried to turn to the next page.
'Flip.'
He turned the page.
And this time the page was white and blank. The shine from this page was so mesmerizing that only the shine of a full moon was comparable to it.
Zhao Luo was still holding the book starting at the white page. He waited for the new content to appear on it so he can continue reading it.
Instead of words appearing on it he felt a powerful suction force as if the book had grabbed him and was him inside.
"What is happening?"
Soon the dark mind space that he was in, turned darker than it was before.
Seven pairs of eyes appeared in that dark space.
'Hmmm'
'Haaah'
'Interesting'
Seven different sounds were heard coming from where these eyes were in that space which also where Zhao Luo was.
Zhao Luo felt an oppressive power from these eyes. He felt like he was continuously shrinking in front of them.
The eyes felt like a giant to him and he felt himself to be an ant standing naked in front of these eyes.
Six pair of eyes were in a circle except for the one in the middle of these six making
it seven.
These eyes were the eyes of the Seven Gods who were the author of this book.
They had left a bit of their egos in the book so if they weren't alive one day, their egos would help the one who reads their book.
Six of the eyes had the same shine. The eyes were like diamonds.

They had a yellow-brownish shine that was erupting from their eyeballs even in this darkness.
The one in the middle was the only different one among these seven. It had a crimson shine.
Since coming to this place, Zhao Luo unknowingly had been staring at this particular pair of eyes with the crimson shine.
This staring contest ended when these eyes closed.
"Don't stare at me so hard. I feel shy."
The sweet voice came from those eyes said to Zhao Luo. It was clear that the voice belonged to a woman.
Zhao Luo was shocked and he blushed as he wasn't such a person himself. To stare at someone who was staring at him, he couldn't do such a feat.
The eyes opened and the crimson shine had increased in intensity.
A new voice was heard talking about Zhao Luo.
"This insolent dog. If you had dared to stare at her in front of me, I would have pulled out your eyes from your doggy sockets and grilled them before throwing them in a pile of shit."
The voice was disrespecting so disrespecting that Zhao Luo was already erupting with anger.
"You bastard. Why would you even grill them if you aren't going to eat them"
Zhao Luo asked angrily.
The eyes that disrespected Zhao Luo were lost for words as he had no way to answer the question that Zhao Luo had asked him.
"Hahaha."
Laughing sounds emerged from the other eyes.
Another one of the eyes in the circle said to Zhao Luo,
"Forgive my friend for disrespecting you, young man. Don't let it get to you."
Those eyes said with a heavy voice.
Zhao Luo couldn't tell if he was being asked for forgiveness or reprimanded because of the tone of these eyes.
Even though he looked at the eyes that spoke to him just now and noded.
The eyes in the middle with the crimson shine said to Zhao Luo.
"You were brought here so we could examine you to know if you are worthy or not. Only after that will you be able to continue on the path of Heaven's Way."
The female voice addressed Zhao Luo.
Zhao Luo started feeling nervous but then he remembered what the old man told him when he was teaching Zhao Luo the stages of Naoli.
"Yes, I am a genius."
Zhao Luo said. He may have mixed his memory with some other moment.
"Okay as you say. We will know soon."
The crimson eyes spoke thinking that Zhao Luo was talking to it.
A crimson shine covered Zhao Luo. His whole body was filled with strength.
This only last a moment and the shine left his body and returned to the eyes in the middle.
Zhao Luo could feel the strength leaving his body along with the shine.
Zhao Luo looked at the eyes looking forward to knowing his result and of he was worthy or not.
He thought that if he wasn't worthy then who would be.
"Just barely."
Said the eyes in the middle.
"Barely?"
Zhao Luo thought that the context was missing. Just barely but what did he pass 'barely' in.
"Your physical ability is just barely passable. Your body is just strong enough to handle the harshness of this path. If it was any weaker than it is already then it would have been not suitable for Heaven's Way."
The eyes explained.
Then another shine covered his body. This time it looked as if his body was on fire. Instead of feeling hot, he felt a cooling and calming sensation as if someone was hugging him to comfort him.
This shine came from the eyes who had insulted Zhao Luo for starting the eyes in the middle.
Then the shine returned in front of those eyes.
And the eyes which had disrespected Zhao Luo said.
"Let's see the strength of your mind."
After the eyes said that the fiery shine turned black.
The fiery shine died down and a white flame appeared where the shine was.
The white flame turned golden and illuminated the whole area.
"Not bad for someone with just a passable bo-"
The eyes stopped talking as if someone had slapped the face of the one talking.
The golden flame was dying down and a platinum beam shot upwards from within the dying flame.
"Hahaha, interesting. I take everything back. You are 100 times better than a dog. You may have been worth teaching if I was he-."
The eyes stopped talking in the middle again.
The platinum beam was dying down and from the dying beam, a radiant shine appeared illuminating the space as if someone had brought the sun in this space.
The shine had clear crimson red rays which were blinding all of the eyes in the circle.
Only the eyes in the middle were looking at the shine interestingly.
"Mind of a Crimson God."
Said the eyes while looking at the shine.
"Told you."
Zhao Luo smirked and folded his arms in front of his chest and looked upwards with his face tilted looking at the eyes as if they were his subjects.
