Becoming a God Starts with Acting
Chapter 489: [Crimson Inheritance] (8)
Walking along the corridor, each room had its own distinct style. However, one particular room caught Silvanus’s attention. Unlike the others that only had a single bed, this room also had a smaller bed.
Silvanus suddenly recalled the butler’s reminder: make sure you had enough ability and qualification to stay in the room you chose.
He stopped in front of the last room at the end of the corridor and said softly, "There are two beds here, just enough for Neo and me."
His intention was already very clear—he wanted this room.
As if afraid someone might stop him, the moment he finished speaking he immediately slipped into the room and slammed the door shut.
Seeing this scene, Jax couldn’t help curling his lips into a smile. "How long can a coward like that survive?"
As he spoke, he kicked open the door of the room closest to him, which happened to be the entrance to the cute pink room. He frowned, the look of disgust on his face completely undisguised.
"Bang!" The sound of the door slamming echoed loudly, as if it might blow the door off its hinges, startling several people.
"If he doesn’t like it, then why the hell did he go into that room?"
Someone voiced their dissatisfaction. Taking advantage of the moment when the others weren’t paying attention, Nick also slipped into a room that had a bookshelf filled with books with brightly colored covers.
The discussion outside no longer had anything to do with Silvanus. As soon as he entered the room, he placed Neo on the small bed. After that, he couldn’t stop pacing around the room, constantly muttering something unclear under his breath. His eyes kept blinking rapidly, and his fingernails dug into his own skin until it bled, yet he seemed completely unaware of it.
"Daddy..." Neo couldn’t help speaking up. At the same time, Silvanus turned his head.
Blood vessels streaked across his eyes, making them look strangely red. He took a deep breath, then stepped forward and pulled Neo into a tight embrace, speaking softly, "Neo, right now your name is Neo, understand? And I will be Silvanus, okay? These are our current names. Don’t reveal any other information, alright?"
Neo looked at Silvanus in surprise, then quickly nodded. "I... I understand."
Silvanus held Neo a little tighter, as if embracing his child could calm the panic in his heart, even if only a little.
"Get some rest first." He patted Neo’s head, then hurried into the bathroom beside the room, looking as if he were trying to pull himself together.
But the moment the bathroom door closed, the panic on his face vanished instantly. His fingertips gently brushed over the scratch marks he had left on his own hand, then he brought up the comment section in front of him.
When the viewers finally saw Silvanus’s gaze fall on the comments, they immediately began typing like mad.
[Ha ha ha, finally came looking for us.]
[Impressive performance, but this isn’t a stage. If you don’t die first, you’ll get exposed sooner or later.]
[The ending will be miserable. So scary, hee hee hee.]
The comments scrolled rapidly, though a few words still lingered in Silvanus’s eyes. Facing these ominous predictions and curses, he didn’t dwell on them for long. Instead, he simply glanced at the information of his livestream room.
[Room Name: EJ7840001
Host: Silvanus
Achievements: None
Rank: Unranked
Review: Quite interesting, but only quite interesting.]
Silvanus noticed a small pen icon beside the "Room Name" bar, indicating that it could be edited.
Without hesitation, he tapped it. At the same time, a note appeared.
[The host may only change the room name once. The effect is permanent. Please consider carefully before changing the room name.]
Of course, Silvanus had no intention of being careless, and he already had his own idea.
His mission was to make the name Elder God Erebus known to as many people as possible. How far his livestream room developed would directly affect the spread of faith in Erebus.
[Confirm changing the room name from "EJ7840001" to "The Most Loyal Missionary of Erebus"?]
Silvanus pressed [Confirm] without the slightest hesitation. Just as the system had stated, the change took effect immediately.
Silvanus narrowed his eyes with a smile. Only then did his gaze truly fall on the comment section.
"Greetings, esteemed viewers."
The comment section, which had slowed because of Silvanus’s earlier indifference, suddenly seemed to receive a shot of adrenaline. Text began to flood across the screen frantically.
[So you finally decided to look at us, you bastard!]
[First time seeing such a clueless artist.]
[I will never support you. I’m only here to watch you die.]
[Beg a little and I’ll send you a gift.]
Silvanus glanced through the comments and continued with a smile, "Welcome to the livestream room ’The Most Loyal Missionary of Erebus.’ As you can see, I’m here to spread His faith across the entire universe! He—the existence greater even than God—is about to descend! And I’m here so that you won’t be too overwhelmed when He truly appears..."
As he spoke, Silvanus’s hands instinctively clasped together before his chest. His eyes glimmered with a strange, unreadable light. Excitedly, he began describing the omnipotent being he worshipped.
The comment section paused for a brief moment before exploding again.
[Is he insane?]
[I seriously can’t understand this.]
[Wait, think about it. He made the card disappear, he woke up before anyone else did, and he received a completely different mission—one that’s never appeared before!]
[Could it be real? I’ve never heard of any God like that...]
[Either way, it’s pretty interesting.]
[Erebus? This isn’t some big shot’s scam, is it?]
[I already have someone in mind.]
Silvanus’s livestream room became extremely lively. The viewer count kept fluctuating before stabilizing at 700 viewers. At the same time, Silvanus felt a stream of energy flowing into his body—so faint, yet undeniably real.
And without anyone teaching him, he almost instinctively knew how to use it.
Silvanus couldn’t help feeling astonished. So this was the effect of spreading the name Erebus, when someone truly began to believe that Erebus existed.
Of course, the number of people who even tentatively believed was still far too small. The energy Silvanus received was like a single drop falling into a vast ocean—unable to create even the slightest ripple.
But it was already a good sign.
Silvanus laughed excitedly, only to be met with an endless stream of mockery.
Just then, a comment suddenly appeared and caught his attention.
[Here it comes, here it comes hahaha. I’ve been waiting for this moment.]
[Heh heh heh. First time I’ve seen someone dare to stay in the bathroom this long. Anyway, you might as well stay in that bathroom forever.]
At the same moment, Silvanus felt the space around him turn strangely cold in an instant—like a room with a freezing draft leaking in. But this cold wind pierced straight into the bone, making his body feel as if it had been frozen in place.
