Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 193 Salary

Bai Shi felt that this was the star calling him to come.

Because the other stars are very fuzzy in appearance, they can only be distinguished by their features.

Only His appearance can be clearly seen by the white consciousness, which is special enough.

Moreover, the white dwarf is famous for its mass and gravity, and the magic of gravity is indeed closely related to it.

So, this is an external deity representing gravity?
Bai Shi suddenly realized that perhaps Latan had used his power to seal the stars.

After all, from the battle just now, Bai Shi could feel that Latan did not hold back.

Although Latan's gravity magic is powerful, not to mention the conceptually abstract sealing of stars and destiny.

It would take a huge amount of force just to intercept the Estí people waiting outside the border.

Although Latan is very powerful, he has not surpassed the level of demigods.

If Latan can really seal the stars by himself, then there is no need to play with the other demigods, as they are not in the same league at all.

It makes sense since Latan also has the power of gods behind him.

After all, the other demigods basically have the power of gods behind them, so it would be a bit strange that he doesn't have it.

Moreover, Latan’s teacher, the White King, is of an alien race.

Come to think of it, Bai Shi remembered that although the Black King and the White King looked similar, they seemed to be enemies in the game.

If the White Kings come from this star that is suspected to be a white dwarf, then do the Black Kings have a corresponding celestial body of their own?

If that is the case, then which one is the home of the Black Kings?

Black dwarf?
It seems possible, after all, black dwarfs and white dwarfs are known for their extreme gravity.

Moreover, a black dwarf is actually a white dwarf that has transformed, but it is a completely different celestial body.

It can correspond to colors and relationships.

However, after searching for a while, Bai Shi found nothing except more blurry stars and a faded sun.

Finally, Bai Shi gave up on looking for a dark object in the darkness.

Focus again on the white dwarf.

However, Bai Shi still didn’t know why this star, which was suspected to be a white dwarf, came to him.

Based on the information currently known, Bai Shi guessed that this star came to him because Latan was dead.

Are you planning to let him replace Latan?

Bai Shi believes that this is not impossible.

Because of Feng Ling Yue Ying, the power of Star Summoning has reached an unprecedented level.

This should be the most powerful gravity magic that has ever appeared at the border.

But this is a bit unreasonable.

What will he do to replace Latan?

This Outer God who controls gravity never seemed to have any intention of enforcing his own laws in the border area.

Otherwise, with Latan's power, it would be impossible that there was no news before this.

And in the starry sky, such stars seem to be common.

Except for a few foreign gods that Bai Shi clearly felt had left traces on the border, most of the stars in the vast starry space were as silent as death.

Although both are gods, the Invisible Mother and Scarlet Corruption have clear purposes and behave much more positively.

Since there is no desire to enforce the law, there is no need to find missionaries. This outer god does not need an agent at all.

It turns out that among the stars is not a very good place to think.

The boundless darkness around was quite depressing and made it impossible to concentrate.

Bai Shi quickly gave up thinking.

Rather than guessing aimlessly here, Bai Shi felt it would be more convenient to ask directly.

Bai Shi tried to call out to the distant star, but suddenly found that he could not make any sound.

Bai Shi looked down, but couldn't find his own body.

Looking down, I could only see the border.

What kind of existence am I now?

Is it the soul? Or is it consciousness?

Bai Shi tried it and found that he was now just like a camera.

Although the view can be moved, there is no way to achieve any interaction.

Bai Shi looked at the white dwarf again.

He began to try to contact the other party with his consciousness, but still could not get a response.

But now he could feel that the star was releasing some kind of friendly emotion towards him.

Bai Shi felt that there was hope, and tried even harder to connect with his consciousness.

Without Bai Shi's knowledge, his perception was constantly increasing.

Induction +1, induction +2, induction +1, induction +1...

The increase in value each time is not much, but it continues.

In the end, Bai Shi's sensing attribute was fixed at 65 points.

And 65 points is exactly the limit of induction.

Transcending the boundary, one reaches another level that is difficult for ordinary creatures to reach.

At some point, Bai Shi suddenly realized that a strange power seemed to have entered his body.

This is a gift from the star.

However, what kind of power it contains is still unknown. We have to return to our body to find out.

In addition to this power, the kindness of the star is even clearer.

White consciousness can even discern that His emotions are admiration and joy.

But Bai Shi waited for a long time, and it seemed... there was no follow-up?
After giving the gift of white consciousness, He did not transmit it back.

Bai Shi silently looked at the star that was calling him to come, feeling a little puzzled.

Now I understand why two fingers must be accompanied by an old woman who can untie their fingers.

There is no language barrier at all.

Bai Shi felt helpless. Even if he wanted to give him some power, he should at least say something.

Of course, it is also possible that He responded to the white consciousness, but he could not understand it at all.

If you don't say anything, you just like Bai Shi and want to give him some strength.

After sending him off, at least send him back.

The white star still did not respond and could not communicate.

Bai Shi began to think about how to leave.

His real body must still be at the border now.

Perhaps some unknown means were used to forcibly transfer his consciousness among the stars.

In other words, if Bai Shi wants to leave, he can go back by using Feng Ling Yue Ying's immunity to abnormal status.

But should Fengling Yueying be used in this situation?

Bai Shi was a little hesitant.

The number of times Feng Ling Yue Ying appears is the most important thing.

Now that I am here, although I am a little confused while waiting, there is no danger.

So Bai Shi thought that we should wait a little longer.
-
In the pitch-black universe, one cannot sense the true speed at which time passes.

Therefore, the sensation of every minute and every second is stretched to an indescribable length.

Just as Bai Shi was wondering what god the shadow-like star in the distance was, something unexpected finally happened.

Bai Shi's consciousness that remained here was suddenly enveloped by a warm feeling. Bai Shi was startled by this sudden change and began to look for what caused this situation.

Then he found the source of the warm feeling - the fading sun he had found earlier.

It was a pale, colorless sun that seemed to be surrounded and corroded by countless resentful souls.

Bai Shi had seen the image of an eroding sun before on the eclipse-patterned greatshield of the Headless Temple Knight.

Bai Shi also has some knowledge of the fading sun.

It is said that the corroded, colorless sun is the patron saint of the soulless demigods.

The city of Sol sees the fading sun as a symbol of despair and an object of awe.

But why, around the edge of this fading sun, is there now a circle of blazing color belonging to the real sun?
And Bai Shi also found it. What gave him the warm feeling was the sunlight that peeked out from the edge of the fading sun.

Bai Shi carefully studied the fading sun and the solar disk next to it.

Thanks to the fact that only consciousness is here, Bai Shi has no problem looking directly at the sun.

After observing for a while, Bai Shi was surprised to find that they were actually two suns!
The fading sun was very close to the border, while the real sun was very far away, so far that it looked tiny.

The huge, eclipsed sun blocked the boundary between the sun and the border, easily blocking out the sun's brilliance.

Perhaps once the fading sun completely obscures the light of the real sun, their goal will be achieved - saving Godwin and bringing the soulless corpse back to life.

But that is not enough, the real light of the sun can still be seen through, which proves that they have not yet succeeded.

So, in the game, the White Spirit of Sol City would say:

'The sun has not yet been eroded, it is all because our prayers are too weak.'

Is this fading sun now created through rituals like prayer?

However, it seems that now not only are their prayers fruitless, but even the real sun doesn't want to help them.

An indescribable and obscure will entered Bai Shi's mind.

Bai Shi suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was not the white dwarf that came after him, or rather, it was not just the white dwarf.

In fact, people just stuffed some things into Bai Shi's pocket. What really found Bai Shi and was unwilling to let him go was the distant and ancient sun.

The ancient sun did not care about any belief, nor did it have any intention of returning the belief in the sun to the earth.

But He does not want to see anything blocking the sun's brightness.

The sun's light should shine equally on every world.

Otherwise, the world will fall into 'strangeness', which is His experience in illuminating countless worlds.

If the sun's light is to be brought back to the borderland, the ritual of summoning Godwin's soul must be destroyed.

The sun gives white consciousness the power to choose.

Do you want to do this?
Bai Shi thinks that anyone who can resist even a second from choosing this option is a god.

Of course, it does not refer to the gods and men on the border.

Yes, you know, Bai Shi has always been the Sun Knight.

He'd been fighting alongside Thor since a long time ago, and that guy was incredibly strong, they'd beaten up the gargoyles in the bell tower together before, Thor was a great guy.

As for Godwin, good luck to him.

There is no doubt that Bai Shi had no reason to refuse and readily agreed.

Then Bai Shi gained the power of the sun.

It was a fierce, blazing fire, and also warm sunshine.

Even though his physical body no longer exists here, he can still feel that strange power as if it is burning every inch of Bai Shi's body.

While receiving the power, Bai Shi also "saw" the worlds that were once illuminated by the sun.
-
In a certain world, demons emerged from the fog, devouring souls and destroying all living things.

The warm light brought divine revelation, and the six kings briefly brought peace to the world.
-
In a world shrouded in darkness, the sun's initial rays of light turned into fire.

The creatures born in darkness found the king's soul in the flames.

The Age of Fire began.
-
The once sunny world was invaded by strange gods, and the sun's light was blocked outside.

After the last rays of the sun disappeared, the horrific beast disease raged, and there was only despair.
-
There is also an ordinary world that does not have so many mysterious powers.

There, the sun is just an ordinary celestial body.

However, that world is not ordinary either.

The armor roars and the endless war never stops.
-
Bai Shi's consciousness returned to his body, and flames appeared on his body, leaving behind the mark of a god.

Spots of flame scars lit up and gradually spread all over the body.

Just like firewood that has just been burned, there are still embers of fire left.

Bai Shi was very familiar with this appearance. He used to call it - embers.

At this moment he was still standing in the same position as before, looking up at the sky.

Judging from the deep pit that was filled with sea water, quite a while had passed.

Bai Shi suddenly saw a red-haired woman on a sand dune in the distance, looking up at the night sky.

But the moment he noticed her, the figure disappeared.

In front of him, a somewhat unreal figure was looking at him with concern.

Rose gold hair, golden eyes, and a closed left eye, who else could it be but Melina?

"Melina?"

Melina looked at Bai Shi who had been staring at the sky in a trance and was very worried.

For some unknown reason, Bai Shi suddenly fell into this state.

And just now, flames ignited on Bai Shi's body, leaving scars that would never go out.

Hearing Bai Shi's call, Melina hurried forward and held Bai Shi's right hand with both hands.

"Well, I'm here."

The touch from his hand proved that this figure was not just a figment of his imagination.

"I'm fine. I was just distracted for a moment."

Bai Shi couldn’t believe it: He could see souls now?
He looked up at the sky, but there was still no sign of the sun.

Blocking the sky is a golden tree that shines brightly even at night.

Then, as Bai Shi slowly gazed at the dazzling golden tree, he saw——

The golden tree is burning slowly.

The flames started burning in the trunk and then climbed all the way up to the crown of the tree.

Then, all the branches and leaves of the golden tree were burned.

The huge and bright sun was raised high by the white consciousness, enjoying the support of the charred trunk of the golden tree, and became the master of the world.

Bai Shi blinked, and everything disappeared, as if what he saw just now was just a delusion.

But Bai Shi knew that he had seen the shadow of the flame and foreseen the future of the golden tree burning.

Bai Shi looked up, speechless for a long time.

"Hahaha……"

After a moment of silence, Bai Shi chuckled.

Then he couldn't contain his ecstasy and started laughing wildly.
"Haha, hahaha!"

Indeed, burning trees and the like should be left to professionals.

Bai Shi can do without this flame, but he absolutely cannot live without it.

He has found the most important piece of the puzzle.

He has turned himself into firewood.
