He did not immediately make contact with that "Faceless One".
After returning home, Li Hao first began researching the "Civilization Game" itself.
To his surprise, the Civilization Game didn't have any correct way to play it at all.
After all, it was just a set of rules disguised as a "game", a place for the Gods to communicate and trade easily.
After creating the initial character, Li Hao could post any information he wanted in the special interface he tentatively named the [Official Hall].
Trade, commission, people search, revenge…
Any kind of information you can think of can be found in this [Official Hall].
The only function of this [Official Hall] was to verify the authenticity of the posted information and to assist both parties in completing transactions and commissions.
Li Hao once tentatively clicked on an information interface titled [In Heavy Demand: Seeking "Radiant Divine Format", Accept Any Form of Trade!].
Then he was judged by the system as "not qualified to achieve this transaction" and eventually had to withdraw disappointedly.
After trying several times, Li Hao helplessly found that he could only open chit-chat interfaces that didn't involve transactions.
Before being sure whether it was due to the special nature of Earth or because of his penniless state…
Li Hao decisively gave up the intention to continue attempting.
Instead, he clicked on the special golden exclamation mark that appeared because he accepted the message from the "Faceless One".
According to Li Hao's understanding of the game, this golden exclamation mark should have a function similar to that of the [Official Hall].
The only difference being that the [Official Hall] is the official body of the Civilization Game, whereas the golden exclamation mark is more like a plugin and MOD created by other Gods.
Of course, under the automatic translation of the Civilization Game, this golden question mark also has a name very fitting to Li Hao's habit – [Secret Meeting of the Faceless].
.........................................................
"This is rather interesting…"
Unlike the simple template of the [Official Hall].
After Li Hao clicked on the [Secret Meeting of the Faceless], the entire interface of the game underwent earth-shattering changes.
When Li Hao regained his senses, his game character – "Hua She" had already appeared in an infinitely vast space seemingly constructed of stars and radiance.
And beside "Hua She", a small winged snake also appeared out of thin air.
"I am pleased to serve you, under the crown of the great Immortal Snake God!"
It took Li Hao a good while to realize that this winged little snake was the Faceless One.
Or more precisely, the Faceless One appeared in the most familiar form to "Hua She".
"Are you also a God?"
Directly communicating with the Faceless One on the screen through his phone.
This was a function Li Hao discovered by chance while browsing those chat interfaces.
Through the transformation by the Assistant Spirit, the language, voice, and tone Li Hao currently used were completely different from his original form.
From this perspective, Celestial Father Hathor's thinking was quite comprehensive, essentially eliminating the possibility of deities becoming enemies and then being pursued offline.
"My master is the True God!"
"We 'Faceless Ones' are just fortunate to have become my master's incarnation winners."
Gently flapping its wings, the Faceless One answered in a respectful tone.
"After all, the 'Secret Meeting of the Faceless' belongs to the realm of Gods, and beings beneath deities simply cannot enter it."
Blinking his eyes slightly, Li Hao understood the roundabout explanation from the Faceless One.
It seems that being able to click on that golden exclamation mark is also a form of identity recognition.
Only true deities can enter the [Secret Meeting of the Faceless].
Of course, although the Faceless One claimed to have been given the status of "God" merely for convenience within the [Secret Meeting of the Faceless]...
Li Hao certainly wouldn't take those words seriously.
– A "Messenger" navigating among the Gods, a seemingly powerful deity who enjoys role-playing.
This was Li Hao's definition of the "Faceless One".
"Well, as you can see, I'm just a New God who has just come into contact with the 'Civilization Game'."
Ignoring the Faceless One's disbelieving expression, Li Hao continued casually.
"So I want to first understand the current status of this game..."
"For instance, the most basic, the division of 'Gods', 'Apostles', and 'Mortals'?"
According to what Li Hao learned from Hua She, the original Civilization Game was a platform for deity exchange with no such hierarchical division.
And earlier, while browsing the [Official Hall], Li Hao also noticed that many of the information posters were mortals.
This clearly violated the rules originally set by Celestial Father Hathor.
Just like a game update, Li Hao learned from Hua She only the initial version of the "Civilization Game".
And now, the "Civilization Game" has been updated through countless generations, long since becoming a different concept from the original version.
"Great Under the Crown of the Snake God, you are modest."
"If you are 'New God', then no deity in this world is fit to use the word 'ancient'."
The Faceless One spoke the truth, for it felt only age that transcends time emanating from the current "Hua She".
The well-versed Faceless One could almost certainly say that this Snake God before it must have been born aeons ago as an Ancient God.
As for why the system recognized it as a "Weak God"...
Many possibilities could account for it.
Rebirth through another body, reincarnated ascension to divinity, or even deliberate disguise, all are possible.
Not to mention, the Faceless One itself is a deity fond of having "small accounts".
Anyone who truly believes the incarnations it exposes are its entirety is the real fool.
"Uh..."
Prompted by the Faceless One.
Li Hao just realized that he seemed to have inadvertently exposed some personal information again.
Whether the ancient aura sensed by the Faceless One originated from the Candle Dragon or the Ancient God identity of Hua She itself, both mean that the other party is indeed not as harmless as it appears.
"When I chose to step in here, the distinction between 'New God' and 'Ancient God' has already become meaningless."
Without explaining or refuting anything, Li Hao just lightly skipped over this topic.
"Naturally!"
The Faceless One, visibly taken aback, took quite a while to comprehend.
This ancient Snake God in front of it, perhaps truly hasn't interfaced with the "real world" for a long time?
It's not just unfamiliar with the "Civilization Game", it might even have lost all its followers?
Otherwise, it is hard to explain why the other party would avoid discussing its identity.
After all, for the vast majority of deities, it is quite embarrassing if even their own followers no longer worship them.
