On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

With a loud slap, the fire giant's massive body, as large as a skyscraper, was sent flying backward, crashing into several low-level mythical creatures before finally coming to a stop. However, it seemed to be still in a daze and was unable to get up for a long time.

This also corresponds perfectly to the prophecy of the Elven race.

Perhaps it was the traded of intelligence for size. This scene of the fire giant did not instill fear in the other mythical creatures towards Liao Ji. At most, they just thought he was difficult to deal with. This time, three giant creatures pressed down on Liao Ji together.

The previous prophecies have all come true, but neither the elves nor Polika can understand the last one.

The Chosen One likely refers to the former savior, Emperor Ash.

Upon reaching the treetop, Liao Ji finally saw the "Source Master" that Lena had mentioned.

As the "Source Master," the Phoenix's strength is still capped at level ninety. Liao Jineng sensed that for the World Tree, level ninety seemed to be the limit that native creatures could reach, and even the "Source" could not break through it.

The shattered body is gradually reassembling, and the more powerful the mythical creature, the slower the process. This is quite similar to the setting in many games where the higher the player's level, the longer the resurrection time after death.

how to say.

They could only see it as a symbol of "victory." Liao Ji initially thought so too, but after meeting the "Source Master," he understood the true meaning of the words.

The scene before Liao Ji gave him a feeling of a parasol tree and a phoenix.

However, no matter how many there are, it won't make a difference. Faced with the vast difference in strength, no amount of quantity can make up for it. Liao Ji drew his flaming longsword, activated the Dragon Maiden's power, his eyes turned crimson, and quenched dragon patterns appeared on his skin. He unleashed the ultimate technique, "Crimson Eye Slash."

but

Liao Ji looked at the three mythical creatures that he had killed with a single strike. Although their bodies had perished, their existence as "source" was actually a kind of energy substance.

There is indeed a way to defeat or even destroy the "Source Lord" without relying on the power of the "Emperor of Ashes".

With the attribute boost of level 150, no mythical creature could withstand the sharpness of this strike. It was instantly shattered upon contact, even worse than the fire giant that Liao Ji had slapped away. It was killed on the spot.

"One day, chaos will shroud the world's skies, and colossal beasts from beyond will invade. At that time, the spirits of the past will reappear, and the chosen one will open the door to a new era for the world."

This wasn't the end of it. Liao Ji wanted to tell the other party that bigger size didn't necessarily mean more power; mass was what determined everything. As long as it was hard enough, even a drop of water could pierce through the Galactic Fleet. After Liao Ji's slap shattered the Flame Giant's hand, it didn't stop. It passed through the Flame Giant's hand and finally landed on the Flame Giant's body.

Ordinary "sources" were not Liao Ji's target for this trip. He did not linger and flew alone across the "source" sea, heading towards the depths of the Starry Sky World Tree.

Having gathered enough intelligence, Liao Ji naturally wouldn't choose to start a war with the "Source Master" at this time. He set off and flew outwards, returning to his own world. Phoenix was strong in protracted battles, and even if it wanted to chase Liao Ji, it would be helpless. Both sides were in a situation where they couldn't do anything to each other.

But what does the following phrase, "opening the door to a new era for the world," mean?

But the reason why Lena is still helpless in front of the "Source Master" is still...

As the phoenix spread its wings and flew towards Liao Ji, each leaf that made up its wings shimmered with light, and within them emerged the shadows of former players' bodies, now used to provide energy to the "phoenix".

The so-called "Source Master" is a giant phoenix that dwells in the crown of the World Tree. It seems to be born alongside the World Tree, and the feathers on its body come from countless healthy leaves. Each leaf is a world in itself. Obviously, it has its eye on Liao Ji's world and wants to give it the best "leaf" on the World Tree.

Back at the Elf Temple, Liao Ji summoned Polika, now having a slight idea of ​​how to win over the "Source Lord".

But in the next moment, the giant fiery hand seemed to encounter some great resistance, and was abruptly stopped midway through its swing. Then, cracks began to appear from the center of the hand. The fiery giant roared in pain, trying to pull its hand back, but it was too late. Cracks spread rapidly from the center of the hand like a spider web. Then, in the next breath, the giant fiery hand exploded, and countless fiery creatures scattered and broke apart in all directions.

The power of the Source Lord comes from its wings, from the many realms that players have forgotten and abandoned after "game over".

If he could revive these worlds and bring each "savior" back online, freeing them from the control of the "Source Lord," then the Source Lord's power would naturally crumble without a fight.

This is undoubtedly impossible within this "dimension".

He needs

Open another door, the door to "Blue Star".

Chapter 316 Ashes

"Can you sense where your sister is right now?"

Liao Ji asked Polika, who didn't react at first, but then realized that Liao Ji was referring to the real Anno.

As for Anno's secret, Polika didn't know much more than Liao Jizao. She thought she had bewitched the fallen elves and thus resurrected, but later she discovered that she was the one who was actively resurrected by someone else.

Polica simply cannot actively sense Anno; she doesn't have that ability.

Seeing that Polika couldn't be relied on, Liao Ji pondered for a while and quickly came up with a new idea.

"Come with me."

Liao Ji led the bewildered Polika to the World Tree. Recalling the location of the path leading to the bottom of the World Tree in Zero and Reina's memories, Liao Ji asked Polika to try and open the underground passage here as well.

The World Tree also has an underground space, something even Polika had never known before. After trying it as Liao Ji had suggested, she was surprised to find that the World Tree's stems and leaves actually opened up to both sides, revealing a deep passage that looked like a tree hole.

Polica hesitated for a moment, but seeing Liao Ji enter without any hesitation, she gritted her teeth. She couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so she followed him inside, no matter what was inside.

After a few minutes, Liao Ji finally arrived at the deepest part of the World Tree. Here, Liao Ji first showed a look of disappointment, as the elf he had expected did not appear.

There was indeed another "Blue Star person" right next to him.

Even Polika recognized the cloak at a glance, after all, she was defeated and killed by someone wearing this seemingly tattered cloak five hundred years ago.

As for the third and final point, does the "fog state" mean that you will become blind?

wrong.

Finding a way to end the "Source Lord" is only one of them.

Liao Ji could have guessed that.

However, Liao Ji concealed the truth from Yilin and did not tell the girl that she possessed the remnant soul of Lena, or even that she might be an embodiment of Lena's will.

What should we do now?

Teleportation requires coordinates, meaning you need to find a "Blue Star person" who currently exists in this world. But where can you send him in this situation?

and many more!

In Liao Ji's view, regardless of who is among them, as long as she has independent consciousness, she is an independent individual. Just as 86 is not zero, Yilin will always be Yilin.

As Liao Ji walked over and picked it up, the corresponding item prompt immediately came into view.

However, despite the numerous negative effects, Liao Ji took a deep breath and, without further hesitation, draped the cloak, which was practically an old friend of his, over himself.

[How to use: Wear it!]

[Equipment Effect 4: Inflicts the "Fatal Weakness" status on the user. The "Fatal Weakness" attribute forcibly reduces all attributes to 1 point.]

The girl who possesses the remnant soul of Lena should be able to provide her with coordinates after Lena is now on "Blue Star". In fact, she could even be able to directly descend to an area very close to Lena on Blue Star!

Liao Ji immediately activated his contract ability, bringing Yilin to this underground space as well.

(The legendary cloak of the Ash Emperor, a legendary item that will never fall off or be damaged no matter what battle it goes through. It was once the starting point of the story, and now, it may also become the end point of the story.)

Therefore, descending from a higher dimension to a lower dimension is not very difficult; it's like pouring water, anyone can do it.

Liao Ji was so focused on getting back that he almost forgot the principle of the teleportation array. He understood why the former was short of energy, which was why he brought Polika down with him. Sure enough, the Mother of Turbid Calamity would come in handy at this time.

【Item Effect 2: Forces the user into a "Silent" state. The "Silent" attribute means the user cannot use any abilities.】

The "fatal weakness" that follows should also correspond to this one, but it's even more severe.

Trying to ascend from a lower dimension to a higher dimension will inevitably have many side effects.

【ash】

but

Liao Ji quickly looked into the depths of this underground space, where there was a complex pattern on the ground that looked like a magic circle.

According to Liao Ji's calculations based on the attributes in the game, the average male on Blue Star should have an attribute value of around 3-5. College students would have a lower value, perhaps only 2-3. But if all of them are 1, it would be the feeling of someone who has been staying at home for many years or has just recovered from a serious illness.

Liao Ji hesitated for a few seconds before deciding whether to put it on.

After all, their "Blue Star" once had the slogan "Gods and demons are forbidden to travel on Blue Star ahead." Perhaps these online jokes are like many ancient myths passed down orally, and are not just simple "jokes."

The silence likely corresponds to the fact that all his special abilities in this world would be sealed and unusable on Earth.

[Teleportation failed. Reason: Insufficient energy]

Succubi must have also experienced these "side effects".

However, what does "unknown coordinates" mean?

Liao Ji suddenly realized that the prerequisite for him to perfectly inherit the power of the Ash Emperor was that Lena replaced him and took him out of "Blue Star".

After donning the cloak, the imagined "door" connecting the two worlds did not open.

Two prompts appeared before Liao Ji's eyes.

He is very worried about Lena now.

This can be seen from Liao Ji's attitude towards Zero and 86.

In other words, he is no longer a human from Earth, and there is no longer any "existence" of him on Earth, so naturally he cannot become a coordinate.

[Teleportation failed. Reason: Unknown coordinates]

really

After reading the information about [Ashes], just like Liao Ji thought, this was exactly what he was looking for—the door that Anno left for him, which he needed to open himself.

On the other hand, as players, they have the opportunity to start over infinitely, which is indeed a manifestation of "higher dimensions", so the name "succubus" is not wrong.

Instead, it was as if nothing had happened.

[Equipment Effect 3: Grants the user the "Fog" status, the "Fog" attribute means loss of vision of friendly units]

这 是

Ash Cloak!

[Type: Special Item]

What made Liao Ji so resolute was that he knew Lena was there.

He must go and find Lena.

Rarity: Unique

The patterns and lines of the design are very profound, but its working principle is quite simple, and Liao Ji can understand it at a glance.

The formation has a total of three positions, consisting of two secondary formations and one main formation.

【Item Effect 1: Return to the "Origin" location】

Liao Ji could probably understand Anno's implication from the attributes of [Ash].

At the main position, a cloak lay quietly folded on the stone platform.
