The Social Life of the Supreme God

Lord of power?

Renli recalled the book he saw last time, which seemed to be called "The Social Life of the Supreme Divinity".

Lord of Power...

Is this another book written by practicing uppercut?

Just as Renli was thinking about this, the little god flying in the air pointed at the computer on the table and said, "This is what I just said, the clue left by the Creator before he left."

Then, without waiting for Ren Li to ask, the little god continued: "After the Creator left, every [Practice Uppercut] in each sub-narrative layer disappeared as well."

"The only clue I can find about the Creator now is this book."

Listening to the little god's explanation, Renli slowly walked to the desk in front of him. Then he held the mouse and gently clicked on the first chapter of the novel titled "Lord of Power".

Then, lines of text and punctuation that Ren Li was very familiar with appeared on the screen.

[Chapter 1: Taboo Group, but Labor Outsourcing
In the kitchen, a pot of hot oil was poured onto the hand-rolled noodles, scalding the leaves until they were browned...】

Isn't this the content of the book "The Social Life of the Supreme God"? Did they change the title?
Ren thought about it, scanning the content of the novel line by line, until his eyes fell on the first "dash" in the text, and as expected, Tianlu's warning sounded in his ears.

[Warning: You are staring at something whose "personality" far exceeds the power of "life". The sub-power "reasonable life" will be closed in three seconds...]

But what is different from the past is that this time the voice from the Heavenly Road is very close to benevolence.

Ren Li looked towards the source of the voice, and immediately saw the short-armed little god puffing his cheeks and counting down loudly: "…3, 2, 1, the child power "Reasonable Life" has been turned off!"

Then, as Renli suddenly revealed an expression of "Okay, it has always been you!", every word and sentence displayed on the computer screen suddenly turned into arcs, flesh and blood, and tentacles, which immediately swarmed out of the screen and drowned Renli and the little god.

The strange things formed by the narrative text quickly filled the entire bedroom.

As for Renli who was submerged by it, he first silently wiped off the large mass of wriggling flesh and blood on his face, and then turned to look at the little god who had been tied up like a small dumpling by the tentacles.

"Are you OK?"

“Mmm-Mmm-Mmm--” Upon hearing Renli’s call, the little god first struggled to lift away a tentacle that was covering his mouth and nose, and then panted and said, “Hey, Renli, listen to me…”

"We are not strong enough to read these words now. That's why it has become like this." The little god stretched out his short left hand from the gap between his tentacles, "As long as we improve our status and become an existence at the same level as these words, then... these strange things should disappear!"

After he finished speaking, the little god stretched out his hand in front of Renli, and then he bent four fingers, leaving only the index finger pointing at Renli's forehead.

Ren Li felt that this scene was familiar, and then he stretched out his index finger and poked forward. One man and one god, in this room of the sub-narrative layer, touched each other's fingertips.

指尖相触后，小小天神再度大张着嘴巴发出了天路的声音：“提示：「社交」权能的解放率正在提升……27%……37%……47%……57%……67%……”

At the same time, the little god's figure quickly became transparent, as if it was about to disappear.

"God, you..." Looking at the little god who might disappear at any time, Renli asked with concern.

But the only thing that responded to him was the last sentence from the little god: "The liberation rate of the "social" power has increased to 100%, and it has now been promoted to the law-level power "ascension to godhood."

Immediately, the little god, with a look of regret and reluctance on his face, looked deeply at Ren Li. Then, he disappeared into thin air with a smile on his face.

Disappearing along with it were the flesh and blood tentacles that filled the room.

……

Looking at the bedroom gradually returning to normal and the clearly visible words on the screen, Renli suddenly felt sad.

Now he can freely read every word and every punctuation mark of the book "Lord of Power", but the price is the life of the little god.

The little god... is dead?
Just as Renli was feeling more and more lonely, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind: "You're not dead~"

It is the voice of the little god.

"You're still alive?" Ren Li was delighted when he heard that, but he did not forget to ask back, "Then why did you show a dying smile just now..."

"Hehe." The little god smiled awkwardly: "The atmosphere was just like that."

"..." Renli clenched his fists upon hearing this.

"Forget it, I'm glad you're okay." Ren Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then confirmed another thing: "Why does your voice appear directly in my mind now?"

"Well, it's not a complicated matter..." The little god responded: "We have merged."

Ren Li: “?”

"Now! Look in the mirror and you'll understand."

When the little god said this, Renli found that his body began to move uncontrollably towards the mirror beside the table.

Then, Renli saw his present self in the mirror—a long blue horn had grown on each side of his forehead, and a blue silk ribbon was floating behind him, dancing in the wind like silk.

Renli turned into a half-human, half-god.

"Hey!" The little god's voice sounded at the right time: "Very handsome! Ren Tianshen."

"Ren Tianshen..." Ren Li chewed on this new name, and at the same time, his body walked uncontrollably to the computer. Then he held the mouse again and began to read the book "Lord of Power".

this means.

With the help of the little god, Renli temporarily transformed into a being similar to "Practicing Uppercut". At this moment, he read the clues left by the upper narrator before leaving in the sub-narrative layer.

Renli sat in front of the computer for the whole night.

Until dawn, Renli finally finished reading this online novel with a total of 136 chapters and nearly 36 words word by word.

After sorting out the principles, Ren Li roughly clarified three things:

First, this book, originally titled "The Social Life of the Supreme Divinity" and renamed "The Lord of Power" in Chapter 53, records in words the world in which Renli lives, a world full of various taboos that are either dangerous or strange.

And it seems that the upper-level narrator who created this book has always been the one who modified Renli's understanding of taboos into a reasonable form of existence.

Second, this upper-level narrator, the creator mentioned by the little god, left more than two months ago after leaving a message saying "asking for leave to prepare for manuscripts."

With His departure, Lord of Power stopped updating. And the "Supreme Godhead" who still insisted on watching the world of Lord of Power, that is, the "narrative existences", lost the medium to continue watching the future of this world.

Therefore, the world where Renli lives is gradually heading towards real destruction due to the loss of the cornerstone from the narrative layer.

The third clue, which Renli and the little gods considered to be the most important one at the moment, was that before the Creator left, he once set his sights on a human named "Li Ren", and he obviously attached great importance to him.

For example, in Chapter 136, He chose Li Ren as the "chosen one" for the Heavenly Path, which proves this point.

Therefore, Renli and the little god thought of a way that might be able to save the world of "Lord of Power" -

That is to let the story of this "Li Man" continue, so that "Lord of Power" can be resumed and updated.

"Can we really save the world by doing this?" Renli was a little unsure about the method he discussed with the little god.

"Hey! Don't worry, this method will definitely work!" The little god encouraged Ren Li: "In order for our world to survive, we must have a high-level narrator."

"But..." Ren Li hesitated: "I have never written a novel."

"Hey! Don't worry." The little god continued to encourage Renli: "Look, there are ready-made materials in this computer."

Following the reminder of the little god, Renli opened a folder called "Writing Materials" on the computer desktop, which not only contained a series of books for writing such as "Story - by Robert McKee", "Introduction to Narratology", "Criminal Law", etc., but also shortcuts for opening games such as "Control", "Containment Breach", "Plague Inc.", "Lobotomy Inc.", "Library of Ruins", "Beautiful Water World", "Teamfight Tactics Launcher", and "Hades 1-2".

Are these... writing materials?

Renli's eyes swept across the unfamiliar icons and he couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.

At the same time, the little god continued to instruct: "Besides! Our task is not to continue writing this book."

"It is to record what happened in our world truthfully and then present it to you, the Supreme Godhead."

As soon as the words fell, the image in the mirror beside the table began to change like an LCD display under the control of the little god's consciousness. Not long after, Renli saw a sea snake with crab claws through the mirror.

And Li Ren, who was standing in the middle of a messy street and was about to be swallowed by a sea snake.

"In our current state, we are at most just recorders. We cannot interfere too much with the narrative." The little god added, "We can only give him some help when Li is in trouble..."

"For example, using the method of 'divine choice'."

Renli nodded when he heard this, then he took a deep breath and started typing on the keyboard resolutely.

Soon, he followed the prompts of Little God and imitated the wording of "Practice uppercut hard" and coded into words a series of events from the time he met Little God in the car to what had just happened.

Then Renli imported these texts into the newly created Chapters 137 and 138 in "Writer's Assistant", and wrote the author's words in the tone of "Practicing Uppercut Hard", and finally set a scheduled release to the narrative layer.

……

At the same time, in the world where Ren Li lives, in the eyes of Li Ren who is being hunted by the Crab Sea Snake...

At the end of the distant horizon, there is a handsome black-haired man with broad shoulders, narrow waist, eight-pack abs, double horns on his head, and blue silk fluttering behind him. He slowly stands up on the ground.

The naked giant rose up with a deafening sound, blocking out the night sky, the stars, and the moonlight.

Tonight, there is no god.

Renli looked down at the earth. (End of this chapter)
