Zhao Qi felt very distressed, really distressed.

He was walking down the road just fine, but suddenly he felt something extra in his head. No, it wasn't just a feeling; it was as if something was truly pressing against his brain. This sensation almost made Zhao Qi faint from the pain.

He plopped down on the road, ignoring the people around him who looked at him as if he were a fool. He only felt his entire head heavy and muddled, as if countless voices were incessantly whispering in his ears, but when he tried to listen carefully, he heard nothing.

"Hey, young man, what are you doing?" After an unknown amount of time, an old man's voice suddenly rang in Zhao Qi's ears.

He shook his aching head, squinted his eyes, and found himself sitting by the roadside, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

"Strange things happen every year, but this year is particularly unusual. This guy fell while walking, truly remarkable."

"Exactly, what if he's hurt his brain? Look, he's still sitting on the ground, unable to get up."

"Don't talk nonsense. What if he tries to extort you?"

Hearing the whispers of the crowd around him, Zhao Qi felt terrible.

He ignored the commotion and the situation, hurriedly stood up, and ran out of the circle of people.

"What's wrong with me?" Sitting in his rented apartment, Zhao Qi couldn't help but think about what had happened to him.

He tried to focus on his brain again. As soon as he concentrated, he felt something in his brain explode, causing him to cry out and faint once more.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Qi finally opened his eyes. The moment he did, it seemed as if countless divine lights were bursting, merging, and nurturing in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, as if it had all been an illusion.

Sitting on the bed, Zhao Qi sighed deeply. He extended his finger and pointed into the air, saying, "Analyze, integrate, create. Appear, quantum intelligent auxiliary brain."

With a low shout, a burst of light seemed to erupt from his finger, then quickly contracted into a point. The light flashed, and a drop of water, suspended between reality and illusion, appeared before him.

"It's all real." Zhao Qi muttered to himself. He looked at the water drop, reached out, and grabbed it. In an instant, the water drop sank into his palm and disappeared.

"The intelligent optical brain has been activated, sincerely serving you, my master. Would you like to start scanning your body data?" A mechanical voice sounded in Zhao Qi's mind. He thought for a moment and began to give orders.

"Understood, scanning begins... The amount of data is too large, unable to scan, unable to scan, unable to scan..." The mechanical voice in his mind was intermittent, as if it might collapse at any moment. "Seal all knowledge above the divine level, no need to scan all mystical energies, prioritize the integration of all knowledge from other worlds."

Hearing the voice in his mind, Zhao Qi began to control the intelligent system without hesitation.

"Understood, my master... Physical attributes scanning begins, 3D model integration in progress... Knowledge from other worlds begins extraction... Unknown energy detected, unable to analyze, abandoned... Mystical knowledge detected, sealing begins... Master, physical attributes scanning is expected to be completed in one hour, and knowledge from other worlds will be integrated in 46 hours. Please be patient..."

"Connect to the real-world internet, comprehensively download mystical knowledge, and compare and analyze it with the mystical knowledge in my mind. Prioritize the integration of the divine system and power comparison from other worlds." "Understood, execution begins..."

The mechanical voice in his mind slowly faded, but Zhao Qi knew that none of this was an illusion. He truly had the inheritance from another world.

"God of Creation, God of Creation, I never thought I would obtain the two supreme deities from another world." The divine light in his eyes flickered continuously.

Deneir, the God of Literature, was the true name of the deity who bestowed these two supreme deities upon Zhao Qi.

"He was truly a tragic figure." Thinking about the deity's constant self-destructive behavior, Zhao Qi couldn't help but sigh.

Deneir and his followers spent their entire lives searching for the "Metatext" — they firmly believed that this text contained all the secrets of the multiverse and could grant the reader ultimate divinity.

In the church's mythology, Deneir, the scribe of Oghma the Binder, gained divinity by glimpsing a small part of the "Metatext." Since then, finding and reading the entire text became his ultimate goal.

Deneir believed that every written record in the material plane might contain fragments of the "Metatext" — a single word, a group of words, or even a complete sentence hidden in a great tome that aligns with the ultimate truth.

As the patron of artists, enlighteners, cartographers, and scribes, the king of all words and images tirelessly examined all records and creations, searching for his elusive ideal.

After countless ages, almost all deities had lost faith in the "Metatext." Many powerful deities believed that the "Metatext" was a delusion caused by Deneir being influenced by the ramblings of mad scholars, a mere fantasy.

But Deneir actually found the "Metatext"!

"Truly, if you don't seek death, you won't die. The 'Metatext' is not something a lesser deity like you can touch. No wonder, in the end, your supreme deity Oghma and dozens of powerful and great deities scattered your soul, leaving no trace of your divinity!"

Zhao Qi secretly ridiculed in his mind, "The 'Metatext' is like the Jade Disc of Creation in the Primordial World, the Infinity Gauntlet with the Infinity Stones in the Marvel Universe, or the great light sphere of the Overlord in the Infinite Horror World!

That thing is not something you should have.

Even if you were to search for it, you should have done it secretly. Instead, you made it known to the entire divine world. Who else would die if not you? Would you have your supreme deity Oghma die for you?"

Deneir was indeed powerful. During the siege, he managed to extract the two primordial divine essences of creation and creation from the "Metatext."

However, the group of deities besieging him was too powerful. Even with the two divine essences, he could not avoid death. But if not for this, Zhao Qi would not have benefited from it.

According to Deneir's explanation, the two primordial divine essences could not grow through low-level forces like faith. They could only grow through personal enlightenment, world creation, or the destruction of all things, returning the world to chaos.

"So, I'm not only a god of creation but also a god of destruction..." Zhao Qi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although the two divine essences were difficult to grow, their power was virtually infinite. In one sentence, "Create anything you can imagine!"

As long as there was enough divine power, from a multiverse to a quark, as long as you could imagine it, you could create it!

"This is even more godlike than the Overlord's space!" Zhao Qi couldn't help but exclaim multiple times, completely awed by this power.

However, a skyscraper starts from the ground up. Although their future power would be infinite, they were currently just two demigod essences. Creating a multiverse was out of the question, and even creating a person would drain Zhao Qi completely.

"At least the Overlord's space gave the first creation for free. Why is it so troublesome for me?"

According to Deneir, the two demigod essences had only 100 divine points at this stage. Once they exceeded this, they would automatically absorb and grow until they reached 200 points, at which point they would condense into a weak divine essence. The stages of lesser, intermediate, powerful, and great divine essences were even more distant, making Zhao Qi's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"What can I do with only 20 divine points in the divine essences? This is really a headache."
