I Created a Containment Object at the Start, and Became a God

32: God answered me!Looking at the prepared sacrifices, Li Songzhou took a deep breath. ”What now? What should I do?”

Bai Hu’s expression suddenly became incredibly devout, his hands crossed over his chest. ”You only need to continuously call out in your heart—the great ’Thousand-Faced Oracle’. He will listen to your pleas.”

”What?” Li Songzhou frowned deeply. ”Isn’t it the ’lord of the heavens’?’”

”The Lord is still asleep.” Bai Hu’s voice carried a mysterious rhythm. ”Mortals cannot directly behold His true form.

But you can call upon the propagator of His will—that loyal messenger, the great Thousand-Faced Oracle.”

Seeing Bai Hu’s almost fanatical appearance, Li Songzhou felt a chill in his heart.

But thinking of his sister’s increasingly mutated body and his grandfather’s failing life, he gritted his teeth and waved for all his subordinates to retreat to the edge of the basement.

He slowly walked to the center of the triangle formed by the three UMAs and knelt heavily. The cold stone slab sent a bone-chilling cold through his trousers, but he no longer cared.

”Thousand-Faced Oracle...” Li Songzhou chanted the name silently in his heart, over and over again.

At first, nothing happened.

But gradually, the temperature in the basement began to plummet, and the white mist he exhaled condensed in the air.

The three UMAs suddenly let out simultaneous, mournful wails, their bodies melting like candles, and the viscous liquid outlined a bizarre magic array pattern on the floor!

”Continue!” Bai Hu roared excitedly. ”He has heard you!”

Li Songzhou felt a wave of dizziness, as if something was draining his consciousness.

In a trance, he saw a dark golden mist rising from the center of the magic array. Countless faces vaguely appeared in the mist—old people, children, and even the familiar face of Li Dan!

At this moment, Li Songzhou’s pupils suddenly dilated, and a faint blue light burst forth from the depths of his eyes!

His consciousness seemed to be dragged into an indescribable dimension—where there was no concept of time or space, only countless overlapping sound waves echoing in the void.

An ancient prayer was branded directly into his mind like a divine revelation:

[Sound of a Thousand Throats, lord of ten thousand words!]

[Virexos, Your voice penetrates the veil of the heavens!]

[I offer broken whispers as sacrifice, and the tip of a tongue yearning for truth as a lamp—]

[I beg You to regard this fool, and grant me the authority to listen to the will of the heavens!]

[May Your Thousandfold Throats manifest here, intertwining like star tracks, cleaving the void like a great bell.]

”This... this is...” Li Songzhou trembled all over, tears streaming uncontrollably.

He had never imagined that such an existence, transcending all comprehension, truly existed in the world! That vastness and majesty made him instinctively prostrate himself, his forehead heavily hitting the cold floor.

”Sound of a Thousand Throats... lord of ten thousand words...” His voice was distorted by awe. ”Virexos...”

As the prayer was recited, the basement ceiling suddenly became transparent!

Countless dark golden throats descended from the void, each emitting a different sound: the crying of a baby, the murmuring of an old man, the roaring of a beast... and even secrets Li Songzhou had never told anyone!

Bai Hu was already prostrate on the ground, fanatically kissing the dark golden patterns emerging on the floor. ”Welcome, Esteemed Messenger!”

The thickest throat slowly descended, its end splitting open into a swirling vortex-like aperture.

Li family’s subordinates were restrained as if by invisible shackles; their muscles were stiff as stone, and they couldn’t even move their eyeballs.

They could only watch helplessly as countless dark golden throats descended from the void, unable to make any sound, as if trapped in a waking nightmare.

Inside the dimensional space, Lin Zhi heard Li Songzhou’s prayer and a playful smile curled his lips.

”Looks like I need to change my appearance.” He murmured softly, his human body dissipating like a sand sculpture, completely merging into the dimension.

The entire dimensional space began to violently deform—walls turned into writhing vocal cords, the floor became pulsating throats, and countless mouths opened and closed on the ceiling, emitting a maddening reverberation!

In the basement, the thickest throat suddenly opened its gigantic, vortex-like mouth and swallowed the three unconscious UMAs in a single gulp.

Subsequently, countless throats wrapped around Li Songzhou like tentacles, forming a dark golden cocoon.

With a loud sound of space tearing, Li Songzhou and the cocoon instantly vanished!

”Young... Young Master?!” The restraint suddenly lifted, and the subordinates were terrified to find Li Songzhou gone. Everyone immediately aimed their guns at Bai Hu. ”Where did you take the Young Master?!”

Bai Hu slowly stood up, his dark golden pupils sweeping over the crowd. ”Why panic? He merely went to meet the god.”

He casually snapped his fingers, and those people were instantly afflicted with splitting headaches. ”This is a tremendous honor; you should be happy.”

...Li Songzhou slowly opened his eyes, and the sight that greeted him shocked him beyond measure—the surrounding walls writhed like living things, transforming into countless pulsating vocal cords.

The floor seemed to have become a massive carpet of throats, gently rising and falling with a breathing rhythm; the ceiling was covered with opening and closing mouths, emitting a thousand maddening echoes.

”lord of ten thousand words! Your loyal servant has come to hear the divine decree!” He was so excited that he prostrated himself, his forehead pressed against the pulsating floor.

[You summoned Us... what is your desire...]

Countless mouths opened and closed simultaneously, the voice sometimes like an infant’s cry, sometimes like an old man’s whisper, and sometimes like a clap of thunder.

Every syllable made Li Songzhou’s soul tremble.

”Please save my sister!” He looked up, tears mixed with nosebleed streaming down. ”She has been contaminated by an unknown creature, and my grandfather... his time is running out...”

The dimensional space suddenly fell silent for a moment, and all the mouths closed simultaneously.

Then, the largest mouth in the center slowly opened and spat out two orbs of light—one white and one yellow—which hovered in the air like living things.

[The yellow is the Fruit of Longevity...]

[The white is the Sound of Purification...]

[These two... can solve your worries...]

The yellow orb of light was the residual lifespan Lin Zhi had purchased with money from those who craved it. The white orb echoed with pure musical rhythm, capable of purifying all UMA contamination thanks to his current Quasi-Divine Status.

Li Songzhou gazed at the orbs in fascination.

[As you wish...]

[But remember...]

[Divine grace... always comes with a price...]

As the final, multiple echo sounded, Li Songzhou’s figure suddenly vanished.

The two orbs of light followed closely, passing through the space rift that had not yet closed.

When he regained his senses, he was kneeling in his family’s basement. The two orbs of light were hovering before him, emitting a soothing energy fluctuation.

”Young... Young Master?” The subordinates watched in horror as Li Songzhou suddenly reappeared, along with the two strange orbs of light in front of him.

Li Songzhou slowly stood up, a dark golden afterglow flickering in his eyes.

He reached out and grasped the two orbs, a mysterious smile curling his lips:

”The God... has answered me.”
