Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 448 Fire
In the light, Bai Shi's consciousness returned to his body.

Upon opening his eyes, Bai Shi immediately sensed an even greater gravitational force emanating from the Gate of God.

The Gate of God is drawing power from him.

This means that the ritual of becoming a god is about to begin.

At this stage, in principle, the king's guidance is still needed until the final completion.

However, Bai Shi naturally no longer needs it.

Following that gravitational pull, the energy contained within Bai Shi's body was continuously flowing out.

Using their own flesh and blood and magic, they filled that insatiable thirst.

The ascension to godhood, which originally required countless living sacrifices and a massive ceremony, is now being paid for by Bai Shi alone.

The power demanded by the Gate of God was immense, and within seconds it nearly depleted Bai Shi's magic and life force.

Under normal circumstances, the power contained within Bai Shi's body would not be able to support this consumption.

However, Bai Shi did not panic at all and calmly activated the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

As his most crucial trump card, the most important technique is to be careful not to click the wrong button when using cheats.

'Ding'

'Ding'

As two crisp sounds rang in Bai Shi's mind, the violent absorption instantly became insignificant.

Infinite lives (300 seconds remaining).

Infinite Magic (300 seconds remaining).

If we were to quantify the absorption of the Gate of God with data, it would be approximately 10% to 15% of the maximum amount of white consciousness magic power and life force absorbed per second.

However, Bai Shi is currently recovering at least 95% of his state every second.

Perhaps the Gate of Gods does have some merit, but it's simply no match for Bai Shi at this moment.

Even Bai Shi began to complain that the Gate of Gods was absorbing energy at such a slow pace.

In less than a few dozen seconds, the Gate of God was filled and stopped demanding from Bai Shi.

After all, Bai Shi already possessed the physique of a king, not only in terms of the sheer quantity of his magic and life force, but also in terms of their quality, which was difficult to surpass.

So it's like exploiting a bug, using countless kings as sacrifices.

In the entire border region, probably no one could be so extravagant as to use the king as a sacrifice to become a god.

Queen Night-Eyed, who hunts gods in various places, may well have had this in mind, using it to improve the quality of her offerings.

Unfortunately, in the end, Marika emerged victorious in the final battle, establishing herself as the strongest god of her time and passing through the Gate of God to become a true god.

The Gate of God stopped drawing blood and then began to activate fully.

Between the gateposts, golden light continued to extend upwards.

It was as if, as that ray of light continued to extend, it would eventually touch the sky that belonged to the gods.

The power accumulated by the Gate of God is poised to be unleashed, ready to reshape Bai Shi's body and complete the ritual of ascending to godhood.

However, Bai Shi refused the reconstruction of the Gate of Gods.

He only needs to activate the Gate of God; he doesn't need the Gate of God to ascend to godhood.

Bai Shi is destined to become the next sun; the Gate of Gods is not worthy to crown him.

In Bai Shi's plan, everything had already been arranged, and he had also communicated with the sun, which was far away on the other side of the star realm.

Bai Shi then began to burn his own body, the glow of the embers even outshining the light emanating from the Gate of God.

Standing outside the Gate of God, Ashmi tended to the unconscious crowd while gazing in astonishment at the strange phenomena within the Gate of God.

The fully activated Gate of God, under Bai Shi's control, unleashed an immense radiance that pierced the heavens.

The light continued to extend, eventually transcending the boundaries of the boundary and penetrating deep into the starry sky.

A link that connects the past and the future, transcending time, was thus established, connecting to the sun on the other side of the starry sky through fate and cause and effect.

From within the sun, a faint fluctuation of consciousness gradually emanated, sending out its power to connect with that ray of light.

The Gate of Gods was merely a transit point for Bai Shi.

Perhaps through the Gate of Gods, Bai Shi can also become a god, and then transform the laws of the sun into laws.

Once you become King of Elden, you can rewrite it as the law of the borderlands.

But Bai Shi was not satisfied with this.

If you're going to do it, then do it to the absolute best.

He wants to become the sun, literally.

Therefore, if Bai Shi wants to become the sun, he cannot simply ascend to godhood through the Gate of Gods like the gods on the borderland did before.

The sun is far from the boundary, and such long-distance transmission is always limited.

Even if the sun possesses immense power, traveling such a vast distance to crown Bai Shi would require expending a great deal of unnecessary energy.

The Gate of God is an ancient and mysterious creation, and its ability is to connect to the heavens, which is exactly what it is meant to do.

Now, through the Gate of God, the way it operates has been changed by Bai Shi, which is equivalent to connecting a relay, making the transmission and communication of power more convenient.

Bai Shi continuously accumulated the power generated by burning his body and magic, waiting for the most crucial element of the plan.

Bai Shi was already prepared, and Tai Yang, who had known about the plan beforehand, also cooperated.

At this moment, the distant sun is sensing the situation on the boundary.

With the Death Bird faction, the greatest partner of the Death Prince's followers, abandoning darkness and embracing light, the spirit world has come completely under the control of the White Consciousness.

The faded sun has shattered, unable to block its light and view.

Bai Shi's current state is the most opportune moment, and his power is sufficient.

From the core of the sun, a ball of flame slowly drifted out, moving towards Bai Shi along the band of light.

That is the spark within the core of the sun, its primordial power unique to Him.

That is, the thing on the borderland that is called 'the essence of God'.

If only that most crucial spark is taken as the core, then Bai Shi can ignite the divine fire and transform into the sun.

Through the connection of the Gate of God, this spark of immense power is transmitted along the band of light.

The sun sustained the power of the fire, and he didn't need to bear any burden for it until it was delivered to Bai Shi's hands.

As the flame gradually receded into the distance, a dark and obscure will began to surge within the sunlight.

He felt great joy at the growth of Baishi.

The Sun originally planned to wait until Bai Shi became the King of Elden before proceeding with the ascension process.

Moreover, it won't be as straightforward and straightforward as it is now; it will be much more cumbersome and complicated.

It is virtually impossible to bear the power of the sun in a human body.

Only the will of celestial bodies, or the world itself, has this qualification.

Once Bai Shi integrates the laws into the Great Rune, he will become the ruler of the entire border region.

By controlling the border region, the entire world operates under his will, thus acquiring that level of authority and influence in a certain sense.

By relying on faith, law, and the power of the boundary itself, the core is gathered, gradually accumulating the energy of the sun.

Then, when the time is right, the core will be incorporated into the body, thereby gaining control of the sun's power.

This essentially transformed the boundary into the sun, with Bai Shi merely the master holding the steering wheel. Although the steps were cumbersome, it was almost the only feasible method.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve at all.

However, Bai Shi's current plan is completely beyond the Sun's imagination.

The almost inexhaustible energy surging from within Bai Shi granted him the minimum qualifications to directly ascend to the Astral Body.

For Bai Shi, this is definitely a good thing.

Even if the initial core formed is slightly smaller than expected, it is still the true core of the star and the power of Bai Shi himself.

In terms of ultimate scalability, these are two completely different concepts.

The expected Bai Shi was simply someone who could harness the power of the sun.

In his current situation, he can truly transform himself into the next sun.

The future is unpredictable; Bai Shi may even grow into an existence at the same level as Him, or even more dazzling.

Therefore, in order to help Bai Shi, He directly sent down a portion of the core fire seed.
-
Between the white sky and the sun, there are countless stars in the vast and boundless starry sky.

Amidst the starry sky, countless gazes silently watched the band of light and the spark, each reacting in a different way.

Among those gazes were some well-intentioned, some malicious, and most simply indifferent.

If we shift our focus and thinking to external deities, they are not actually that special.

They are powerful and undeniable beings, special life forms that cannot be described by mortal language.

However, they were not entirely detached from the mundane world.

Because most of them were simply born that way.

They each possess varying degrees of maturity and thought, as well as different ideas and personalities.

Ultimately, they are a group of special life forms with different origins and structures.

Gravity, the ever-changing moon... some celestial bodies connected to Bai Shi offered their blessings.

More goodwill came from the sun of love.

And in those malicious stares, there is a remarkably similar reason:
They wanted to cut off that path and swallow the core spark.

The power within that tiny spark was actually negligible compared to their size.

However, the fundamental laws contained within them are enough to allow them to undergo further transformation.

The power of the sun is among the highest, even among the external gods.

That is a terrifying existence capable of illuminating the darkness among the stars.

It is quite incredible that light can be released without any reservations in such an environment.

Normally, they would never have such thoughts.

But at this moment, it is the only chance.

Because the distance between the sun and the boundary is too far.

If it weren't for the passage built by Bai Shi using the Gate of God, the transmission of this flame would have taken countless years.

Unlike in the past when the sun cast its tiny power according to coordinates, this time it is transmitting real fire.

It cannot be teleported to the borderland out of thin air, nor can it be generated directly within Bai Shi's body. Instead, it requires traversing this long starry sky to reach it.

But at this moment, what carries that spark is nothing more than a fragile link.

Once that path is cut off, even the sun cannot instantly traverse the vast distance to reclaim the flame.

In the starry sky, there are places where the sun's rays cannot reach.

While the many external deities hesitated, a blood-red star burst forth, extending its tentacles toward the band of light.

On that crimson body, there are also giant craters left from the solar power explosions of the past.

The Invisible Mother was completely driven by hatred, a deep-seated grudge she could never let go of.

He wasn't after the fire; he simply wanted to destroy the white consciousness's hope.

Bai Shi realized what was happening, his face darkened, and he began to consider how to deal with this persistent ghost.

However, before Bai Shi could do anything, the distant sun burst forth with intense light, and a tremendous power was released from its body.

The band of light carrying the spark was instantly transformed by that intense heat into a fiery line that burned away the starry sea.

From the sun's position to the boundary, a dazzling river of fire traverses the starry sky, causing the solidified darkness of the entire cosmos to retreat for a moment.

The tentacles of the invisible mother have slowly melted away.

The flames climbed along the tentacles of the Invisible Mother and spread all the way to her main body.

The inextinguishable flames engulfed Him, leaving Him no room to resist, and the deity's life force gradually and completely vanished.

Sensing that terrifying power, the others in the darkness gradually withdrew their gazes.

Although their ideas were good, all of this imagination was based on the premise of being able to sever that bond.

The sun today can transmit power almost without delay along the link.

In that brief burst of firelight that illuminated the starry sky, was the sun's warning.

He is able to shower down light so mercifully because He has the means and the power to do so.

The other celestial bodies withdrew their gaze and silently stared at the boundary at the other end of the band of light.

The sun is gradually moving away from the boundary and will soon completely lose contact with it.

Therefore, the tiny sun on the border that was about to receive the spark could no longer enjoy His protection for long.

Obtaining fire directly from there is also a good option.

Some external deities have already set off and are constantly approaching the border region.

It may take countless years just to move, but it's worth the effort.

Among the stars, darkness and disorder are the norm.
-
After a short time, the flame successfully reached the border.

Bai Shi rubbed his hands together, the large amount of 'heat' he had accumulated by burning his body and magic power beforehand, which now became the energy to ignite the fire.

That immense power dissipated rapidly, completely swallowed up by the fire and assimilated into one.

However, even with so much power accumulated during the waiting period, the fire seed failed to be truly activated, and Bai Shi did not transform into the sun.

Before long, the fire completely exhausted its accumulated power and began to absorb all the power from Bai Shi.

The embers on Bai Shi's body completely transformed into a fierce flame identical to the original fire.

Magic, flesh and blood, and even willpower were burning in the flames.

Bai Shi suddenly felt as if his life and magic power had been drained away, leaving him extremely weak.

In just a moment, Bai Shi, in his state of 'infinite magic power' and 'infinite life', was almost completely drained.

Both my body and mind were overwhelmed with exhaustion, feeling as if I was about to collapse.

Fortunately, he no longer needed to burn himself, which greatly improved the efficiency of direct energy supply. This slight difference in speed allowed his recovery to barely keep up.

There's no way around it; this is the core of the sun.

To attempt to bear the core power of a celestial body with a human body is something that humans are not capable of doing.

Bai Shi once again activated 'infinite energy,' causing all the forces that constitute a person to briefly approach infinity, which completely led to supply exceeding demand.

Finally, in the dark starry sky, that spark burst forth with a dazzling and brilliant light.
