Background / History
Li Li was born in Jinghai in 1997 and died in 2024 in a fire caused by a computer short circuit. He later awakens in an unfamiliar, technologically advanced world, initially possessing neither money nor identification despite carrying the identity of a Creator God. 1 2 298
At an anime convention, he learns of Lilith, a Creator God from “Fandou Garden Mythology,” whose lore resembles his own existence. Soon afterward, he discovers that his [Exit Game] authority manifests as a gold-edged mirror linked to Earth’s internet in 2050. Although he can alter the connected game website, he cannot access the wider internet beyond it. 1 3
After witnessing the world's corrupted gods and the desperation of mortals living under the God Banning Barrier, Li Li attempts purification through [Divine Declaration]. The effort corrupts his own body and nearly destroys his physical vessel. He ultimately resolves to recruit people from Earth as Players, using them as the fighting force of his Divine Army against Corruption. 3
Li Li later concludes that the world is a newborn world created roughly two thousand years earlier, which chose him as its new consciousness and reshaped itself using a game from his memories. After exploring the river of time, he confirms that the world is real and that he is neither a game character nor an AI. 16 220
Personality
Li Li is pragmatic, cautious, and highly adaptive. Rather than command Players through brute force alone, he continuously develops game-like systems—quests, forums, advancement services, laws, punishments, PvP zones, and retention policies—to guide their behavior toward fighting Corruption. 14 52 54 134
He is deeply uneasy about the moral cost of bringing Earthlings into his world. He fears that Players who see reality as a game may massacre civilians for experience or harm his Saintesses for loot, yet he continues because he believes abandoning his plan would doom the world. 16
His godhood leaves him increasingly isolated. He distrusts the unquestioning devotion of Saintesses, worries about treating people as tools, and gradually recognizes the horror of creating or reshaping souls without their consent. 166 188 260 261
Despite his capacity for ruthless calculation, Li Li repeatedly restrains himself. He spares sea monsters while guiding a fleet, stops promoting worship after realizing Faith is extracted from the weak, and seeks a “braking mechanism” to prevent his power from eroding his morality. 256 259 260

Building the “Game”
