Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 449 The Day of Becoming a God
A fiery core condensed silently in the darkness of space, and then a crown-like corona extended outward, releasing unparalleled light and heat.

When this still-weak sun was formed, Bai Shi's will was completely sublimated.

From that moment on, Bai Shi's vision seemed to expand endlessly.

His gaze pierced through the entire universe, revealing everything even among the darkest stars.

Although it was only a fleeting glance, it has already proven that Bai Shi's soul and mind have truly been sublimated.

This was the first time Bai Shi, with the vision of a deity, had gazed upon this starry sky.

It also proclaims to the entire starry sky—the arrival of 'He'.
-
The sun, far away in the starry sky, watched Bai Shi successfully shine, filled with joy and blessings.

Originally, I just wanted to find someone with the right destiny and strength to shatter the faded sun, so that the borderlands could enjoy a little bit of its afterglow before it left.

As for Bai Shi, He didn't have too many expectations, after all, he was just one of the few special beings among the many worlds that were illuminated.

But even the 'Sun' never expected that Bai Shi would repeatedly change his attitude towards him and begin to truly regard him as a successor.

To have achieved this level is a commendable feat from any perspective.

The 'Sun' deliberately severed the passage built by the Gate of God, and silently watched Bai Shi from afar.

Although He could transfer a vast amount of power to help Bai Shi instantly become an incomparably powerful Star God, He did not do so.

If you want to illuminate the darkness among the stars, you are destined not to rely on Him, but to grow continuously on your own.

Bai Shi had been able to achieve this level step by step before, so the road ahead would naturally not be difficult for him.

'Sun' trusts Bai Shi and therefore decides not to interfere with his future growth.

However, He will keep an eye on the situation here until His light completely fades away.

If Bai Shi were truly in trouble, then he would naturally not turn a blind eye.

—Only before He completely departs.
-
The process of Bai Shi's soul continuously sublimating finally stopped, and Bai Shi's consciousness returned.

From that moment on, the entity carrying Bai Shi's will completely transformed the blazing sun in this starry space.

The body on the border naturally transformed into Bai Shi's incarnation on the border.

At the same time, within the core spark that the 'Sun' bestowed upon Bai Shi, a vast wisdom, beyond the comprehension of mortals, gradually imprinted itself on his mind.

That is the wisdom of time that He has experienced and accumulated over the long years.

That is the wisdom that can overcome the passage of time and transcend worldly constraints, the wisdom that exhausts everything.

However, this knowledge was far too vast for Bai Shi to grasp directly at this moment.

Even if Bai Shi had already sublimated and transformed into a true god, he would still find it difficult to withstand such a vast wisdom that seemed to encompass the entire universe.

This is a wisdom that no newly created being could bear.

This wisdom directly impacted Bai Shi's spirit and soul, even causing his mind to subconsciously seal itself in order to prevent a mental breakdown.

However, given time, as Bai Shi gradually grows to a level worthy of the name, this knowledge and wisdom will gradually be unlocked.

In the future, all this knowledge and wisdom will be completely transformed into the wisdom that Baizhi himself possesses.

Along with the wisdom that Bai Shi accumulates on the road ahead, it will eventually become the next spark.

The torch is passed down from generation to generation, and life continues endlessly.

Even though the starry sky may always be dark, life will always bring light.

Keeping this wisdom in his heart, Bai Shi's gaze also pierced through the sea of ​​stars, conveying his gratitude to the 'Sun'.

His light doesn't reach that far, but thanks to the 'sun's' dazzling light, we can still see Him at this moment.

This was also the first time Bai Shi had ever truly seen the 'sun' from this perspective.

This benevolent and loving deity provided Bai Shi with a great deal of help along the way.

Just like the words I had previously imitated from Solskjaer, 'The sun is truly great, like an extraordinary father.'

For Bai Shi, the 'Sun' could indeed be described as a father figure.

And now, Bai Shi can finally be as huge and full of heat as the 'sun'.
-
Bai Shi withdrew his gaze and observed himself at this moment—a small sun in the starry sky—from a unique perspective.

Becoming a god, Bai Shi didn't feel anything particularly significant at the moment.

Contrary to expectations of a complete upheaval, while the body did indeed become a celestial body, the mind and consciousness remained largely unchanged.

Bai Shi felt that he seemed to have undergone some kind of change, but he didn't have any particularly obvious feelings about it at the moment.

It's just that a little extra mental burden has been created, nothing else.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Putting aside the mystery and fantasy, becoming a god doesn't seem like anything special.

So-called celestial bodies and external deities are mostly just born that way, and don't necessarily have a high threshold.

Once the power is achieved, regardless of its inherent nature, no one will deny that the deity's status.

For example, the Invisible Mother's stubbornness—for the sake of a life on the border that originally had nothing to do with Her—meant she completely failed to weigh the pros and cons.

But because of this, they possess a pure emotion that is difficult for even normal lives to have.

The so-called external deities seem to have a spirit and core that are not much different from humans.

Of course, Bai Shi's current ease was also due in no small part to the help of the 'Sun'.

The power and laws contained within that core spark have already established the complete workings of the sun's operation.

At this moment, it transformed into the core of Bai Shi, and it would operate spontaneously even without his deliberate control.

Bai Shi focused his consciousness on his current body and quietly observed it.

Compared to the 'sun' that Bai Shi knew well, he was still much weaker now.

Even if you take the innermost fiery core and measure it outwards to the outermost corona bursting with flames, it is probably still not as big as one of the opponent's cores.

Even compared to the surrounding stars, rather than the enormous 'sun', Bai Shi seemed rather insignificant at this moment.

As a sun that has just barely ignited its divine fire, Bai Shi only has the most ordinary star-like size.

No wonder the stars in the darkness have already targeted Bai Shi.

The 'sun' of the past was too powerful; the darkness among the stars would be easily dispelled before it, and anyone who dared to make a move would only invite ridicule.

However, when the light is too faint, the darkness in the starry sky will naturally aim its spear at the weak yet illuminating white light, attempting to extinguish it.

However, Bai Shi was not discouraged; on the contrary, he was very happy, and even the light became more dazzling.

His posture wasn't perfect, but it suited his taste perfectly.

He accomplished the work of a god while being human—an impossible feat he himself achieved.

Such a feat may have precedents across the entire starry sky, but there are certainly very few.

The outcome at this moment is far more perfect than Bai Shi's earliest expectations.

Bai Shi had already prepared for the worst-case scenario, and was somewhat uneasy.

That is, he was unable to support such immense power and could not ignite the divine fire.

If that's really the case, Bai Shi will probably continue to try and get another chance with Feng Lingyueying.

But if he is truly destined to be unable to become the sun, then Bai Shi will have no choice but to accept this fate.

At worst, he could become a combination of a god and a king, and spend the rest of his life obediently governing the ideal kingdom in his heart on the borderlands.

Although this was Bai Shi's worst-case scenario, it was still not bad, at least enough to bring the story to a complete conclusion. But now that he had truly ascended to godhood, it wasn't just about bringing the story to a complete conclusion, but about bringing it to a perfect conclusion.

Bai Shi is now qualified to stand alongside the 'Sun' and has the opportunity to follow His path and let more worlds bask in His light.

To further improve, Bai Shi naturally wouldn't just focus on the borderlands.

So much darkness is praying for light, so much suffering is calling for illumination.

Of course, that's a matter for later.

Bai Shi will not look away prematurely until everything on the border is completely resolved.

During the time Bai Shi was experiencing, Feng Lingyueying's time had not yet passed, and she was constantly accumulating fuel for the newborn sun.

Once the spark is activated, the divine fire is ignited, and the core is condensed, every remaining bit of power invested into the sun determines the scale that Bai Shi can achieve.

However, the efficiency this time is incomparable to that of before.

As the subject of consciousness changed, Feng Lingyueying, who was bound to Bai Shi's soul, also moved.

At this moment, the target of 'infinite life', 'infinite magic', and 'infinite energy' actually became the sun itself in the White Consciousness Star Space.

The limitations on output were instantly broken, and seemingly inexhaustible energy was born out of thin air, surging into this newly formed divine body.

That energy was rapidly converted into the mass of the sun, causing the sun to grow larger and larger.

Bai Shi's ever-growing body size, in turn, increases his output efficiency.

With his left foot stepping on his right, more and more power surged into his core, and Bai Shi's strength was increasing at a speed unprecedented among the external gods.

Unfortunately, it had already taken too long to ignite the divine fire with human form, and now there were only a few dozen seconds left.

Even with such a significant improvement, reaching nearly three times its previous size, Bai Shi is not yet considered particularly powerful in the starry sky.

But since it's all happening during that little bit of spare time, it's already a pleasant surprise.

It was already a huge improvement, so Bai Shi was naturally extremely satisfied.

Bai Shi turned his gaze to the side, looking at the formless mother's body not far away.

Although still incredibly small compared to the sun, Bai Shi's size had expanded considerably, and his strength had also increased significantly.

The Invisible Mother's power among the stars is also of medium strength, and her size is not small either.

At this point, Bai Shi's size had surpassed that of the Formless Mother by a great margin, giving him the strength to carry out his bold ideas.

So... he's going to pick up this corpse since nobody else wants it.

Somewhat awkwardly, he harnessed the immense power within him and his consciousness touched the corpse of the Formless Mother.

He dragged the formless mother's body into the core of his own sun and slowly swallowed her up.

Amidst the starry sky, the remnants of the formless mother burned slowly, turning into fuel.

Although it was only at the level of a star, it was already burning quite intensely for Bai Shi, who had just transformed into the sun.

Once this power is completely burned and transformed into energy, Bai Shi's size will definitely grow again.

Bai Shi turned his gaze back to the border, staring at his closed body within the Gate of God.

I'm still not used to observing myself from this perspective.

Bai Shi's body at the border was not strengthened and remained the same.

Logically speaking, one should pass through the Gate of God normally on the borderland to ascend to godhood.

During that process, Bai Shi's body should be reshaped and become incredibly powerful.

However, Bai Shi was focused on the sun in the starry space at this moment, so he naturally had no time to care about this physical body.

Therefore, at this moment, this original body did not experience any force and naturally did not become stronger.

However, Bai Shi didn't think much of it.

His true form has already become the sun, so why would he care so much about strengthening his physical body?

Of course, Bai Shi wasn't indifferent to this body; it was the avatar he would continue to use in the future, the one that would walk on the ground.

There's no need to divert your attention and energy to strengthen yourself at such a crucial moment; you can always use the power of the sun to strengthen yourself later.

The process of ascending to godhood went incredibly smoothly, but there was one thing that Bai Shi found somewhat regrettable.

Having created a physical body in the astral realm, Bai Shi also joined the ranks of the external deities of the star space.

Therefore, Bai Shi was also rejected by the border area itself, and his main body could not easily reduce his power.

Before Bai Shi fully becomes the King of Elden and completely reshapes the laws and the Laws, even he will experience some inconvenience.

However, this was not a problem for Bai Shi.

His body, which remained on the border, was already formidable enough, and he didn't have many equally matched opponents.

Now it has become an incarnation, so there is no need to worry about getting killed in a fight. It can be said that it is completely unscrupulous.

Even if the main body cannot enter the arena, simply projecting power down is perfectly fine.

Previously, even though the sun was so far away from him, he was able to reach the boundary through the transmission of some kind of fate.

Now, Bai Shi's true form is floating directly outside the boundary, at an incredibly close distance.

Moreover, this is a connection between the original body and the avatar, so the transmission is naturally seamless.

If all else fails, Bai Shi can also imitate the Formless Mother and open a rift in the void to temporarily reduce the power of his main body, which would also be equally feasible.

Bai Shi looked around at the starry sky he was in, which was still a vast expanse of darkness.

Although he has illuminated some areas, it is still far from enough.

Bai Shi pondered for a moment, then cast his consciousness back to the boundary, while his physical body continued to digest the formless mother's body in the starry sky.

It's too early to think about space now; we should just keep an eye on it.

Back on the border, besides dealing with various matters, Bai Shi also needs to accumulate Wind Spirit Moon Shadow counts again.

Although he had previously defeated Marlenia, bringing his count back to five.

However, before he could even enjoy those many attempts, three were used up instantly during his ascension to godhood, leaving him with only two.

To achieve the same level of improvement by stepping on his right foot with his left, Bai Shi would need to wait at least three more attempts before he could continue his rapid expansion.

Even if Bai Shi only has two attempts, he might not be able to increase his power much even if he uses them all.

In that case, it's better to use it as a safety net; that's the safest approach.

As long as Feng Lingyueying uses his abilities enough times, even if some terrifying being in the star space is attracted to him, it won't matter.
-
Consciousness returned to the body on the border, and Bai Shi slowly opened his eyes.

Stretching out his arms, Bai Shi looked at his own body and now felt somewhat unfamiliar with it.

It's as if your enormous self is trapped in a small cage, unable to unleash your full power.

But after clenching his fist, Bai Shi immediately readjusted, and the strange feeling completely disappeared.

If someone can't even adapt to and control their own body, what kind of god are they?

After stretching his body, Bai Shi slowly walked out of the radiant Gate of God.

Bai Shi was unaware of the immense shock his ascension to godhood would bring to the border region.
