Overnight, the once normal city of Dulin, and even the entire provincial capital and parts of the world, were plunged into a nightmare.

In reality, only Su Yue knew that this was not a nightmare at all.

Rather, it is a reflection of the game world invading reality.

Su Yue watched as the ancient gate opened before him, and the eerie rain of Dulin City washed over the old bronze door.

The light illuminated everything in all directions, and Su Yue smiled. The secret he possessed should lie in the character selection during this rebirth in the Turin game.

To enter the game, everyone must first create a character.

And the roles within it.

The initial subordinates that a lord comes with are related to the nightmare at the start of the game.

He vaguely remembered that before he transmigrated, the subordinate role he awakened was a group of third-tier red catfish, who were fighting against a group of "Frant Empire cavalry", which belonged to the second-tier unit.

"Spearmen, cavalry, monks, griffins, centaurs, zombies..."

Before entering the Turin game, each lord will receive the original accompanying troops.

In my previous life, the professional trait I awakened was called 'Sludge Lord'. This lord profession has a 30% bonus to affinity with sludge creatures, but it also limits future development potential... Meanwhile, the world's top lord professionals possess top-tier talents ranging from A-level to even S-level.

My previous life's 'Sludge Lord' talent rating was at most C.

Su Yue watched as the bronze gate slowly opened towards him!

"boom!"

Countless seraphim and black dragons battled in Heaven, terrifying behemoths hurled stones at the distant dark fortress, and a cyclops let out a terrifying roar. Everything seemed normal from the beginning.

After all, Su Yue had played Heroes of Might and Magic in his previous life and knew its contents, but what followed was incredibly bizarre and shocking.

"The Wind King, the 'Unspeakable One,' the 'Lord of the Deep Space,' Hastur!"

A vast number of Calxar residents, dressed in yellow robes, were chanting hymns in a low voice. From an overhead perspective, the entire planet seemed to be shrouded in a raging storm and yellow sand.

Lake Hali, the Yellow Seal, and the Kalkssa tribe are engaged in a sacrifice...

In the middle of Lake Hari on the planet, an evil god, draped in a yellow robe and whose face was obscured, appeared before the world, emanating an eerie aura.

His arms and entire body were covered with tentacles that resembled tendrils!

Su Yue was shocked on the spot!

"Cthulhu!?"

"A black flying entity with sharp claws and tentacles..."

"I didn't spend much time in my previous life in the Turin world, but the fusion of Heroes of Might and Magic and Cthulhu was terrifying enough."

Looking at the bizarre scene before him, Su Yue felt a strange sense of anticipation rising within him. The secret he possessed allowed him to obtain a god-level lord profession through the current character creation process. Once he mastered this profession, he would be the coolest guy in the entire world of Turin.

And just as he was feeling the fear brought by the terrifying evil god.

Hastur, the "Lord of the Deep Space," suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked up and glanced at Su Yue!

"Congratulations, player, on receiving the blessing of the Cthulhu god 'King in Yellow' Hastur... You have received a special blessing from the god of evil ahead of time due to unlocking the dLc chapter ahead of schedule."

"!!!"

Hastur, the "King in Yellow," chuckled, "An interesting little fellow."

Su Yue had no idea what kind of impact the future lord's construction and the blessing of the evil god would have. He was just shocked and his mouth dropped open because Hastur in front of him was not a cutscene, but a real god.

Doesn't that mean the Great Old Ones, the Lord of R'lyeh who has been lurking at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of millions of years, are the ones who control the Great Old Ones?

—Is Cthulhu alive?

Holy crap!

"So many terrifying evil gods are still alive?"

Hastur, the "King in Yellow," said, "Find Cthulhu for me. I have something to say to him, interesting little guy."

"yes……"

What could Su Yue do but agree?

The Behemoth that had been throwing the boulder suddenly raised its head and glanced at Su Yue!

"Congratulations, player, on receiving the blessing of the Cthulhu god 'Lord of R'lyeh' and 'Lord of the Annihilation'... You have received a special blessing from the evil god ahead of time due to unlocking the dLc chapter ahead of schedule."

"The two evil god blessings have been upgraded and combined into: Snail Annihilation Yellow Seal (SSS level)."

"Snail Annihilation Yellow Seal - Growth: The host learns any evil god-related spells, skills, and lord abilities, and the effect is increased by 300%."

"Immunity: Reduces the damage caused by the evil god by 75%."

"Goodwill: The host's affinity with the evil god will be permanently increased by 100%, and the Cthulhu-related evil god will have a favorable attitude towards the host."

"Malice: The host will cause all the righteous gods of the universe to hunt down the ancient gods and hostile foreign gods who will attack the host."

Behemoth is one of the incarnations of Cthulhu, and is depicted as a cold cloud of mist that glows with blue, green, or yellow light.

At this moment, the cold mist of yellow fluorescence enveloped his eyes, unnoticed by Hastur, the "King in Yellow".

"Humans, become my servants and help me break free from the seal."

Su Yue's face turned green...

He did benefit, but he became the sandwich between Hastur and Cthulhu.

The conflict between the two Great Old Ones has lasted for billions of years.

No one could determine a winner...

"Please select your lord class and the location of your territory in the world of Turin."

Familiar voices from his past life echoed through the air. Su Yue gazed at the vast map of the Turin world. The sheer size of this map far surpassed that of the Forgotten Realms in Dungeons & Dragons, approaching the size of tens of thousands of Forgotten Realms. It was truly boundless, far larger than even the Earth itself when laid out.

Of course, this was previously referred to as the "big map" by players on the forum.

Besides the vast Turin world continent map, there are numerous other planes of existence... each with distinct characteristics: the Steel Plane, the Crystal Plane, the Soul Plane... Su Yue sensed the disappearance of Cthulhu and Hastur, the King in Yellow.

At that moment, his right hand suddenly lit up with light.

"Now!"

Su Yue fiercely clicked on the barely perceptible crack in the upper right corner of the character creation screen in the Turin world!

"In his past life, an American, driven by a strange curiosity, spent 72 hours studying the opening animation and the character creation screen, and finally discovered a bizarre loophole in the upper right corner... As long as you pour all your thoughts into your finger, you can obtain a unique profession in the world."

"This opportunity from my past life hasn't disappeared even after a full 72 hours."

"We absolutely cannot allow the US to produce a god-level professional in this lifetime!"

"This opportunity to become a god-level professional is mine!"

Looking at the SSS-level Evil God's Blessing on his panel, plus the reward of the God-level Lord Hero, Su Yue knew how powerful it would be, and his heart was filled with anticipation!

Meanwhile, all of humanity—people from China, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom—were plunged into a nightmare overnight.

————————

On the Turin forum, posts were being published in a heated and frequent manner.

It scrolled by as fast as a waterfall, just like comments on Weibo!

Evan Doesn't Like Dogs: "I've entered a completely new world. Is anyone here on the forum? I have a clownfish next to me now, it seems to be a first-tier minion."

I want to go back to Sheep Village: "I have awakened the second-tier lord class 'Elite Guard,' and commanding the Imperial Guard will grant me a 20% combat power boost!"

Mountain Collapse: "My creation lord's class talent is 'Military Standard,' which increases the morale of all Tier 1 and 2 troops by 15%."

"Subordinates... subordinates have appeared! The monsters from the nightmare scenes have all become our subordinates... My subordinate is a second-tier purple wolf!"

The chrysanthemum greens don't taste good: "My subordinate is a fourth-order dragonfly!!"

"Holy crap, Tier 4?"

A massive number of forum posts are constantly being exposed...

99% of the players did not obtain a subordinate of tier three or higher, so when a tier four subordinate suddenly appeared, the forum suddenly pinned the post about that tier four dragonfly subordinate to the top.

"I'm so excited! I wonder if we'll ever be able to go back to Earth?"

"The lord's talent is very important. Creating a character determines the future direction and 80% of the fate. But don't ignore the importance of hard work and struggle! We can defy fate... Subordinate + class talent are the two most important things."

"Don't post your secrets on the forum, otherwise it's like revealing your hand!"

"What's there to be afraid of? The map of the Turin world is so big. I'm more curious now: if you die once, will you be resurrected, or will your physical body just die?"

Su Yue stared at the scrolling forum, a stream of black light emanating from a rift enveloped him.

The opportunity to awaken the divine lord's professional talent is only once.

So he took it.

This means that the god-level lord player from the previous life will completely lose his chance.

——————

Skant, the American, stared intently at the character creation screen, trying to find loopholes and bugs.

"Once I find an opportunity, I will definitely destroy the lords of the Dragon Kingdom and make the power of the American people's lords suppress the Dragon Kingdom! The American is the global hegemon... What is the Dragon Kingdom? How dare it challenge and dominate the American's status as a great power?"

The top players in the US have started communicating with each other through the "friends" section.

Skant paid no attention to his friend's expression as he listened to the ticking sound.

He suddenly noticed that a red crack in the upper right corner had vanished!

He suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart, as if some immeasurable and immense opportunity had left him!

He seemed inexplicably lost and disoriented.

"why is that?"

"Does fate also exist in this Turin game?! Why do I have this illusion that I'm being controlled by fate?"

The great Cthulhu opened the pupils of the evil god, gazing upon Su Yue and that American player. Billions of humans on Earth fell into slumber. This kind of power is actually nothing special; Cthulhu could do it too… It's just that some worlds can accommodate Cthulhu's evil god and billions of Outer Gods; countless Great Old Ones. This terrifying power is far more terrifying than pulling the humans of a planet into the game.

It inspires even greater awe.

“Little fellow, I hope you don’t go astray…” Cthulhu Fortan, like a gentleman in a tuxedo, had an 18th-century suit, pipe, phonograph, and a revolver with broom patterns, all neatly arranged in his room…

In some ways, Su Yue has become his half-successor.

Of course, the same goes for Hastur.
