Lin Li's knowledge of the Whispering God was not from any myths and legends or literature pieces in Anril, but from the Endless World, which was the in-game world with countless players.
The so-called Whispering God was not an actual god, but the horror it brought to every player in the Endless World was far greater than any other real god could bring. The power of the gods might be stronger, but they had never personally descended into the world, and the Whispering Gods had brought major disasters to the Endless World. The destruction of the City of Stars and many other cruel wars and calamities were all caused by the Whispering Gods.
