Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 510 Elden Ring

Above the golden tree dome, the sun's corona surged and churned, its blazing white flames pouring down like a celestial river.

The Beast of Elden was bound by the Chains of Heaven, and like Marika before it, it was suspended high in the center of the Golden Tree.

The void suddenly twisted, and the Beast of Elden seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, its body breaking apart as it was drawn toward the sacred core flame.

The core fire of the sun had now formed a beam of light that devoured everything, shining before the beast of Elden.

The body of the Law Beast was engulfed by the sun's blazing flames, and the power of the magic ring could not regenerate it. The gushing divine blood vaporized and dissipated the moment it touched the sunlight.

The Beast of Elden let out a silent roar, but it could not stop its body from being completely engulfed by the light and flames, and was torn into golden particles little by little in the core.

The Beast of Elden was completely annihilated in the pure white flames, swept into the center of the vortex like dust, and finally vanished into nothingness.

The beast, the embodiment of the law, transformed into a sky full of golden dust and returned to the origin of the Dharma Ring.

Bai Shi ceased maintaining his power, causing the sun's light to slowly fade, and everything returned to calm.

With the demise of the Beast of Elden, the starry illusion within the Golden Tree completely collapsed, and the Sea of Black Mist receded like a tide.

The interior of the once-hidden golden tree has returned to its original darkness, revealing the true scene.

A broken stone stage, a dark tree trunk dome, and—the "Elden Ring" suspended in the air.

Silence fell within the golden tree, except for the shimmering light of the Dharma Ring.

The dazzling Elden Ring is no longer controlled by wild beasts; it floats quietly, awaiting the writer of new rules.

The power transmitted from the original body gradually dissipated in Bai Shi's body, the endless supply of energy stopped, and everything returned to its original state.

As the blazing sunlight that descended from the sky slowly dissipated, the fundamental laws of the borderlands, which had resisted the outer gods, finally yielded and once again covered the world.

Looking at the Elden Ring that emitted a mesmerizing light, Bai Shi knew that this was the end of everything.

Although the Mother of Fingers, hidden behind the scenes of the Borderlands, has not yet been dealt with, this does not prevent Bai Shi from truly becoming the ruler of the Borderlands.

Having mastered the Elden Ring and woven the laws, even the Mother of Fingers cannot stop White Consciousness.

However, Bai Shi did not rush to touch the magic ring, but instead looked down at his hands.

In the past, mortals who needed to think carefully even to survive have now become true gods.

Even the beasts that control the laws of the world could not withstand him. He walked for a long time and finally reached the end.

Perhaps the reason he came to the border was to defeat the Beast of Elden and touch the magic ring with power from outside the world at this moment.

It wasn't until looking back at the path we had come from that we realized how long it had truly been.

Bearing the expectations of friends, inheriting the ambitions of heroes, and seeking the recognition of kings...

Bai Shi finally clenched his fists in victory!
—God is not invincible.

—Because he is the writer of the story!
Bai Shi raised his head and reached out to touch the sacred Elden Ring.

"I will fulfill my vow and shine my light upon the world."

"I will live up to expectations and bring prosperity to the border region..."

As Bai Shi's fingertips touched the Elden Ring, the truth of the world was fully revealed before his eyes.

Not only does Bai Shi have a complete understanding of how the world works, but he is also able to correct and rewrite it.

Sensing the qualifications Bai Shi possessed, the Elden Ring immediately floated toward his body, intending to let him bear this power.

However, Bai Shi rejected the ring's offer and instead held it in his hand.

The sacred Elden Ring shattered in Bai Shi's hands, transforming into the most basic laws and a blank foundation for the ring.

Bai Shi will not become a container for the Dharma Ring, and the future boundary will no longer need a container called 'God' for the Dharma Ring.

In the future, the French Ring Road will no longer belong to anyone, or rather, it will belong to everyone in the border area.

The runes of death slowly appeared in Bai Shi's hands, followed by the great runes that had been divided among the demigods after they were shattered.

Those world-changing laws converged in Bai Shi's hands, and ultimately, all the laws were re-infused into the foundation of the Dharma Ring.

The runes of various shapes overlapped and transformed into a pure ring resembling the sun.

Bai Shi held the prototype of the new Great Rune in his hand, took a deep breath, and the sunlight appeared in his body.

The power of the sun descended once more, and the laws contained within its core surged toward the nascent form of law, filling the unfinished void.

At the same time, the power of the sun continuously merged the gaps between those laws, completely forging them together.

The laws that were mutually repetitive, mutually contradictory, and mutually exclusive were melted away by the flames, and the remaining laws were perfect and harmonious.

The laws of the world were rearranged, and everything changed according to the ideal world depicted in the dream of the white consciousness.

Touch the Elden Ring and rewrite the laws of this world.

At the crossroads where destruction and rebirth intertwine, Bai Shi grasped the power to rewrite his destiny.

What flowed from his fingertips was not only the radiance of the Elden Ring, but also the yearning of millions of living beings for dawn.

A warm law that transcends the control of gods and the dictates of fate slowly took shape at Bai Shi's fingertips.

Bai Shi dislikes the final chapters of stories intertwined with life and death; he prefers epic tales filled with light and love.

Therefore, Bai Shi wants to change the rules of this world.

Rules that allow people to stop hating and distrusting each other...

A rule that can turn yesterday's enemy into today's ally...

The rule that effort brings rewards and happiness...

It wasn't just Bai Shi who thought this way; everyone in the border region wanted a better world.

True laws should not merely be inscribed on cold, hard legal rings, but should shine equally like the sun.

This law will no longer be an eternal gift from the gods, but a happiness that life itself earns.

And all of this will be changed by Bai Shi!
Tomorrow will come, and the sun's glory will shine forever!

Bai Shi fully integrated his solar laws into the prototype of the Dharma Ring, completing the final step for the birth of the new Dharma Ring.

Finally, a radiant ring of sunlight appeared.

Holding the brand-new Dharma Ring in his hand, Bai Shi clearly sensed that he possessed the power to control all things in the world.

As long as the Ring of Law is in his hands, he is the will of the world, and no one can defy him.

However, faced with this power, Bai Shi simply released his grip, allowing the sun's ring to slowly rise into the air.

If you don't have the desire to illuminate others, how can you become the most blazing light in the starry sky?

The sun's ring expanded endlessly in an instant, and an unknown red light rapidly expanded and swept across the boundary.

The solar ring no longer concentrates the world's laws in one place, but instead spreads the power of new laws across the sunlit boundary, laying the foundation for a new era.

Everyone clearly sensed that something unknown to ordinary people had happened in the world, yet they genuinely trusted it from the bottom of their hearts.

The new laws will be the laws of light that will allow the world to relearn how to love and be loved.
-

Bathed in sunlight, the withered branches and leaves of the golden tree sprout anew. A ray of true morning light pierced through the canopy of the golden tree, scattering across the land at the border.

Marika's stone body slowly revived, turning into flesh and blood, and her mangled body gradually recovered.

Within that body, a ray of light fell like a star, dividing fate into two ends, where two endlessly falling souls conversed with each other.

Radagan looked at Marika, and the long-lost, resolute gaze of a hero reappeared in her soul.

"It's been a long time, Marika."

Marika wrapped her arms around her knees and gave Radagan a silent glance.

"My half..."

"You don't believe in the future I see, but instead choose to embrace God, like a moth drawn to a flame."

"I pity your blindness; the weight of truth is like the stars pressing down upon you..."

Seeing that Marika brought up the differences in their paths and choices again, Radagan spoke softly, retorting:
"Your so-called future is nothing more than placing all your hopes on those who come after you."

"If it weren't for the appearance of someone with such dazzling brilliance, the border region would have been destroyed by your self-destructive actions."

"All I want to do is to allow those lives that shouldn't have disappeared here to continue."

Radagan sighed slightly. In his eyes, what Marika had done was impossible, and it had caused great turmoil in the border region.

Perhaps the Golden Law can never achieve the eternity they desire, but there is a possibility of finding a balance in the process of slow decay.

He has identified the fundamental principles of the Golden Law, and by continuously simplifying the law, there is still a chance for eternity to arrive in another form.

However, as a half-human, he already knew Marika's indomitable and fierce character all too well.

If it weren't for her inner resilience, the sorcerers' hatred would likely have remained forever buried in the unknown prison, and the enslavement of the horned people would have continued on the borderlands.

If the Golden Tree will eventually decay and fall into depravity, and the era they built with their own hands will eventually come to an end, then she would rather use the funeral of the Golden Tree as an opportunity for the arrival of the next era.

Regardless of the final outcome, Radagan admits that Marika made the right bet.

Radagan gazed at the sun on the horizon, feeling its sacred power, and couldn't help but ask:

"Marika, is this light the dawn or the twilight of the borderlands?"

Marika calmly met his gaze and spoke softly:
"That is the hope in the starry sky, the light itself, and the boundary will welcome the dawn."

Radagan shook his head, worried about the future.

"That might be an illusion, like the ones we've seen before."

"At the beginning of a new chapter, no one can know the final outcome."

Bai Shi's power had already won him over, but no one knew the final outcome of this border region.

Now that things have come to this, Radagan never questions the legitimacy of the White Knowledge, but is worried about that future.

At the very beginning of the Golden Tree era, they also harbored the vision of illuminating all living beings.

"As time passes and people's hearts change... Will shadows be born beneath the light thousands of years from now?"

"Where there is light, there is bound to be shadow. Can the sun remain hot and intense forever?"

"When what people desire is easily obtained, how can the Sun King deal with people's insatiable desires, beyond survival and peace?"

Marika shook her head, dismissing Radagan's concerns.

Since she chose to believe in the wisdom of future generations long ago, she will absolutely not waver now.

"Your fear is nothing more than frost that melts easily in the sunlight."

“We cannot bring true light to the borderlands, but someone can…”

The sunlight, like a seed, took root in the hearts of the two who were each other's half.
-

Stepping out of the Golden Tree, Bai Shi gazed at the sunlit borderland. At this moment, he felt somewhat dazed.

Did he really succeed? Did he bring about such a huge change to the border region?
Could this just be the delusion of an unknown, faded person on their deathbed?
For some reason, the devastating ending of the game came to mind.

There was no overwhelming cheers for the king, only the solitude of walking alone to the ends of the earth, with the fallen leaves of the golden tree accompanying him throughout his life...

—It wasn't until Melina threw herself into Bai Shi's arms, abandoning her usual composure, and excitedly looked up and shouted, that these chaotic thoughts were shattered.

"Bai Shi, you did it...you did it!"

After saying this, Melina could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and warm tears rolled down onto Bai Shi's chest.

Lani also stepped forward slowly, looking at Bai Shi's face with a mix of emotions, and gently leaned on his arm.

"A new era has arrived as we wished... my king."

Bai Shi felt the warmth and trembling of Melina in his arms, and felt the tender gaze of Lani, confirming the boundaries of reality.

Yes, he did it...

He saved everything he could and completely transformed the border region.

The phantom of that decadent era was fleeting, quickly passing through Bai Shi's mind, while the real scene unfolded before his eyes like a scroll painting.

—Everyone was looking forward to the new world and full of hope for the new era.

Gently stroking Melina's hair, Bai Shi embraced Lani as well, and softly said to them:

"No, we did it."

Bai Shi raised his eyes to look at the group of figures in front of him, his gaze sweeping over the thousands of people on the border, before declaring in a loud voice:

"We did it!"

"This victory belongs to everyone on the border!"

"The age of the sun has finally arrived! Let us welcome the era of light!"

Under the bright sunlight, everyone shouted the same title—the Sun King!

What kind of ending would be worthy of all the hardships and wanderings along the way?

Bai Shi felt that things were good enough as they were.

Amidst the shouts from all sides, it seemed that everything had been settled.

Bai Shi arrived in front of Marika's body and gently stroked her right arm.

A brand new body was created, and two intertwined souls were separated.

Two souls, two consciousnesses, finally truly possessed their own bodies at this moment.

After Bai Shi finished doing everything, he instructed everyone to prepare for the arrival of the prosperous era, but then turned and left alone.

Bai Shi's retreating figure tore a crack in the last twilight glow of the Golden Tree.
