My Divine Beasts Are Really Not Evil Gods-Chapter 2: Gate of Truth, Stairway to Godhood!

What appeared before Lu Yu's eyes was a strange, silver key.
The bit of the key was covered in mysterious silver vines that seemed to grow out of thin air, disappearing into the void and stirring up purple ripples.
The handle, however, was curved like the J-hook of an umbrella. In its center, countless runes converged to form a nebula-like eye that was wide open.
Like a living creature, it was constantly squirming and looking around!
But no matter how it looked, it dared not peek at the thousand-armed figure concealed by the endless chaos, as if a single glance was taboo.
Although a bizarre eye had grown on the key, Lu Yu still recognized it…
This was the Silver Key he had bought in his past life, also known as the Stairway to Godhood, the Key of Truth, and other such names.
The orphanage where he had lived could only be described as having crude infrastructure, as it spent most of its money on caring for the younger children.
The greatest form of entertainment was a collection of fairy tale and mythology books gathered by the director.
Lu Yu's favorites were the vast and sacred myths, but he was not fond of the high and mighty gods, but rather the strange, powerful monsters and divine artifacts.
After becoming an adult and able to earn his own money, Lu Yu enjoyed collecting these strange curios and figurines even more.
The Silver Key, in particular, was something he bought from a street stall. The owner claimed it was the legendary key that could open the Gate of Truth and reveal the secrets to godhood, and that he could take it home for just 9999 yuan.
However, Lu Yu didn't fall for the scam. He just thought the key looked cool and haggled the price down to 99 yuan before buying it.
He also ordered a related mythology book online, preparing to learn more about this obscure legend.
However, before he could even receive his order, he transmigrated.
“I just waved this key around in the air before… Don't tell me that's what opened the Gate of Truth?”
Lu Yu pondered. Since the Silver Key had appeared, it proved that it was the culprit behind his transmigration, but… he hadn't seen any so-called secrets to godhood!
'Don't tell me it's like Pinduoduo, where I need to rope in tens of thousands of people to help me slash the price?'
Just as he was pondering, the Silver Key trembled slightly, and a stream of information flooded into Lu Yu's mind.
After sorting through it, he finally understood the whole story.
The Silver Key he bought for 99 yuan in his past life was indeed the genuine article, and it had opened the legendary Gate of Truth, which held the secrets to godhood, and he had entered it.
However, his mortal body was simply unable to contain such vast and mysterious high-dimensional knowledge, which ultimately resulted in him losing his head.
Bang!
His head was blown off!
But his soul was not destroyed.
Instead, it arrived in this Beast Taming World, bringing along the Silver Key and the things he had obtained from behind the gate.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu discovered that his original
【Eye of Truth】
talent had been replaced by a new one.
【Master of the Gate (Flawed): As the wielder of the Key of Truth, you will obtain the Eye of Truth (Flawed), allowing you to see the information and weaknesses of all things. The cost is the consumption of your own spiritual power.
All of your actions align with the truth, granting you the blessing of the Gate of Truth. Your talents in crafting Extraordinary Equipment, Magic Potions, Secret Food, Divination, etc.
, are enhanced, and you receive an additional fifty percent success rate bonus for all of them.
Crafting Magic Potions, delicacies, or Secret Food of Good quality or higher will produce additional effects; the better the quality, the stronger the effect.
Furthermore, you need only bear one percent of the original side effects from any extraordinary source.】 (Quality is divided into: Ordinary, Good, Excellent, Perfect, and Supreme)
After binding with the Silver Key, the spirituality Lu Yu consumed when using the
【Eye of Truth】
was only one-tenth of what it was before, and its target changed from pet beasts to all things.
And this was merely the effect in its flawed state!
If he could complete it, it would transform into a part of the Authority of Omniscience, and nothing in the world would remain a secret to his eyes.
And the final step after omniscience… is to walk the path to Omnipotence!
To ascend the Stairway to Godhood.
As for why it was flawed, Lu Yu had a faint feeling it was related to his transmigration, but his memories of entering the Gate of Truth were temporarily sealed for involving too much high-dimensional information.
They would only be unlocked one by one after he became strong enough.
Besides the Eye of Truth, the accompanying effects were also extremely terrifying: an enhanced aptitude for support-class professions and a fifty percent success rate bonus.
One must understand that this was a bonus added on top of a person's base success rate, and it was effective for all extraordinary support-class professions.
With such a buff, it could be said that Lu Yu's talent points for support professions were maxed out.
For example, when he crafted food to feed his pet beasts, as long as its quality was judged by the Eye of Truth to be Good or higher, it would produce all sorts of special effects.
Such as attribute boosts, skill proficiency increases, learning acceleration buffs, and so on.
He just needed to keep feeding his pet beast to infinitely apply buffs and even attributes, causing its power to skyrocket.
The reduction in side effects was even more of a bug. For instance, Divination of the future could easily result in backlash.
Where others might have to pay a hundred years of their life, Lu Yu would only need one. This applied to curses, forbidden spells, and the like.
Exchanging the smallest cost for the greatest gain.
In other words, Lu Yu, who now wielded the Key of Truth, was a part of truth itself.
But when Lu Yu tried to check for the things he had brought out from behind the gate, he found nothing. As his thoughts flowed, chaotic mist condensed into a line of text before his eyes.
【Hint: Form a contract with your first pet beast】
【Unlock: Secret Food Inheritance】
【Description: Use mystery as fire, devour the taboo.】
This was not a so-called system, but more like the Key of Truth using a task format that he could easily understand to tell him how to obtain more abilities.
Besides the inheritance, it seemed there were also some of his own remnants from the past.
"It's time to form a contract with my first pet beast!"
