Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1542 The Strategy of Resurrection

"Resurrect... Teacher Serena?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the God of Frost was somewhat taken aback and fell into deep thought.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the God of Frost deep in thought.

I've already succeeded more than halfway!

Even though the Frost God initially seemed to have no intention of communicating with him, Lin Yu knew that the "sages" of Night Valley were essentially the type who were good at research and had highly developed minds.

This kind of person isn't like those stubborn guys who, once they decide not to communicate with them or listen to anything they say, really treat it as if they've blocked out their words.

The smarter a person is, the more likely they are to be "flexible" and "wavering"—because they maintain the good habit of thinking and analyzing everything.

This means that... their refusal to communicate with Lin Yu, even if it seems like a rule or principle they set for themselves that they must adhere to, is also very easy to... change.

The reason you can't reason with these kinds of people is simply because you haven't found out what they truly care about.

Just like right now.

Lin Yu already knew about the existence that was extremely important to the God of Frost—the "teacher" whom He still remembered even though He had now become a god.

However, simply knowing about the existence of "Teacher Serena" does not necessarily mean that the subsequent negotiations will proceed smoothly.

After all, the Frost God may still have feelings for Serena, but He is now a god and cannot possibly make any concessions just for a "teacher" who has long since passed away and is only remembered in His heart.

Therefore, there are certain tricks to using this "teacher" to make the Frost God willingly negotiate with oneself.

Lin Yu naturally chose the most straightforward method.

The reason why the Frost God doesn't care so much about "Teacher Serena" and won't let this old friend overly influence his judgment is primarily because Serena is dead—everything is settled and cannot be changed.

Whatever apologies or thoughts He harbored, everything about Serena was over.

and so……

Lin Yu wanted to start with the "dead" Serena, to initiate negotiations with the Frost God that would make Him stop and speak with him, a mortal, on equal terms, and even to reach a subsequent cooperation with the Frost God...

The first thing Lin Yu had to do was to shake the Frost God's undisputed belief that "Serena is dead."

Yes... perhaps Serena has been gone for a long time.

However, the saying "the dead cannot be brought back to life" is not necessarily absolute in the Ten Realms.

Although "life and death" are taboos that must never be broken, if there is really no one capable of breaking the chasm between life and death and transcending the taboos between the living and the dead, then why does this eternal prison include the crime of "reuniting souls and bringing the dead back to life" in the taboo of the soul among the three taboos?

However, the Frost God had clearly realized this as well. He looked at Lin Yu and spoke in a low voice.

“I admit that your words made me waver for a moment... but your words are nothing but broad and empty talk.”

"I don't know where you get the confidence to think you can resurrect the dead—admittedly, there are many similar cases in the Ten Realms, and there are even criminals here who can resurrect the dead... but those are extremely special cases."

"The physical body is intact, the life force is still there, but the soul is unexpectedly dissipated... and the dissipation happens to occur in an environment that is relatively conducive to the gathering of the soul."

“In most cases, normal ‘accidental’ deaths are fundamentally irreversible,” the Frost God sighed softly. “Life and death… even gods, even the ‘world’s will,’ cannot exert any influence on absolute ‘life and death.’”

"Death is death."

Lin Yu listened to the Frost God's pessimistic and disheartened words, and saw that the other party had no intention of cooperating with him, but he was not in a hurry.

Because he knew... that the Frost God was actually expecting something in return for this appearance.

He was hoping that his next words would persuade him.

After all, the Frost God couldn't rationally conceive of the possibility of resurrecting his beloved "Teacher Serena".

For a being of such a high position, although there are still many unknowns in the world, in most cases, the secret knowledge and high-level information possessed by a god are almost beyond the reach of other mortals and ordinary beings.

The things that He couldn't think of a solution for might not be truly unsolvable, but expecting a mortal to immediately come up with a solution that He himself didn't know was indeed close to a miracle.

However, it was precisely because Lin Yu chose such a clever angle, starting with a word that the Frost God cared about immensely, that even though the Frost God knew that he was hoping and waiting for the other party to say something almost like a "miracle," a situation that was nearly impossible.

But He still waited.

Lin Yu calmly spoke up: "You've overlooked one point. Although you're not a 'player,' as a god, you should know that we 'players,' the 'players' who enter the 'Death Game,' are all people who have 'died and been resurrected'—each of us truly died completely in our world before participating in this game."

“In a sense, you’re not wrong… Gods and the will of the world are powerless against ‘direct death,’ but… above gods and the will of the world, there is an existence even higher than you—that is the ‘Death Game’ itself.”

"And the 'Death Game' obviously has the ability to 'bring the dead back to life'."

The God of Frost was somewhat taken aback by Lin Yu's explanation.

For this deity, He never expected... that Lin Yu would actually give an answer that would shake Him.

Moreover, it was a fact that He had almost subconsciously ignored all along.

yes……

What the gods cannot do, what the world's will cannot do, but actually... the 'Death Game' can always do.

Life and death may be taboo in this "game," but they are by no means irreversible, unbreakable, or defiant rules.

Therefore, the God of Frost couldn't help but fall into new thoughts.

He looked at Lin Yu and spoke in a questioning tone.

"What can I do, even if I know it can do it, only the 'game' that controls you can do it."

He questioned it, but this questioning only confirmed that He already believed what Lin Yu had said.

After all, this questioning wasn't about whether Lin Yu's statement was wrong, but rather it was more like a question directed at Lin Yu.

"What should I do?"—This is the true meaning the Frost God wanted to convey.

Seeing that the Frost God was becoming increasingly entangled and even showing some indifference towards his 'player' identity, Lin Yu did not rush to continue negotiating this matter. Instead, he slowed down the pace of the conversation.

"To be honest, I don't know either... But since the 'Death Game' can do it, it proves that it is entirely feasible in the Ten Realms—although currently no being outside the will of the 'Death Game' has successfully replicated something similar, I think it's just that the level of all those who tried to replicate it wasn't high enough," Lin Yu said calmly. "At least we can confirm one thing through the fact that the 'Death Game' can directly revive people... If we want to revive someone, the dumbest way is to keep raising our own level until we have a level similar to the 'Death Game' that even surpasses the world will of the Ten Realms."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, even the Frost God, who was already a deity, was helpless.

"Do you mean we should directly elevate our status to the level of the 'Death Game'?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, at that time, we will have the ability to bring the dead back to life. As a 'player,' I have personally experienced the mechanics of the 'Death Game,' so... this may be an essential ability after reaching this level."

"Although your teacher Serena has been dead for a long time, it may be troublesome to revive her - after all, we 'players' are usually chosen to enter the 'dungeon' immediately after death and are revived on the spot."

"Perhaps, even a 'death game' cannot bring back to life beings that have been dead for several years."

“But… this is your best option, isn’t it? God of Frost… or rather, Lord Velen.”

Lin Yu spoke slowly and deliberately, while the God of Frost stared at him.

After a long silence, the God of Frost finally spoke.

"What you said is indeed correct... but why?"

Why are you telling me this?

Lin Yu calmly said, "Being able to find a way to befriend a god, to gain the friendship of a god, even one who is imprisoned, would be very beneficial, wouldn't it?"

"So, wanting to be friends with you is a 'high-return' behavior, an 'investment' that will definitely not lose money... So why wouldn't I?"

As Lin Yu spoke, the Frost God nodded: "You're right, but... that's not the real reason you're telling me all this."

He stared at Lin Yu and said, "Because the ideas you're talking about... don't seem like things you came up with after you just saw my past. Instead, they seem like things you've been thinking about for a long time."

"It doesn't seem like you knew about my past beforehand or made preparations specifically for me."

"So... why?"

Lin Yu lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

"Of course it's because... just like you, I also have someone important I want to bring back to life."
