This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"Good boy, it's not far from being completely scrapped... But even if this thing is repaired, it won't mean much."

He shook his head slightly, put the jade token away, looked up at the slender phantom that had stopped in front of the metal pedestal and was now looking back at him, and was stunned.

"Is it...looking at me?"

The phantom wore a hood on his head, hiding his face in the darkness, making it difficult to see his features.

But even so, Ye Yiyi still felt something in her heart and could sense the other person's gaze.

Then the phantom withdrew his gaze, looked towards the metal pedestal, stretched out his illusory hand, penetrated a thin layer of golden light film, and in the layers of light golden ripples, his fingertips touched the light gun.

It was not until this moment that Ye Yiyi realized that there was actually a layer of protective shield outside the platform.

"If there's no phantom, then I won't be able to get this light gun, right?"

He was thinking in his mind when suddenly the surroundings became dark.

"Ok?"

He looked up and found that a thick fog had appeared in front of the large glass windows on the ceiling of the hall.

The thick fog blocked out external light sources and excluded the sunlight.

"This posture looks like it's going to fight the BOSS..."

He muttered to himself and lowered his head, then saw the phantom in front of the pedestal take a step back and disappear into thin air.

Hey, wait a minute! Why are you leaving like this?!

Before Ye Yiyi could react, a golden light spear floated up out of thin air, hovering high in the air, and then burst into brilliant light.

Then, a golden metal door with a large number of gorgeous patterns engraved on its surface appeared in the dazzling light and fell to the ground with a "bang".

The golden light gun dimmed, and then the gun head turned, shooting down like a meteor, and was caught by Ye Yiyi.

"So, the phantom came to help me open the door?"

He lowered his head to look at the golden spear in his hand, then looked at the magnificent gate in front of him that was nearly ten meters high, his expression thoughtful.

But how could a mere phantom do this?

As he thought about this, he looked down at the light gun and light curtain.

One of them is the Cosmic Light Spear that suppresses the Land of Meteorites.

The essence of this item is magic and light, and it was forged by the craftsman Wang Yu himself.

Can also be used as a weapon.

In the past, fallen stars fell from the sky.

Its essence corrodes the planet and destroys everything.

The great king cares about all living beings and bestows light upon the universe.

He ordered Wang Jiang to suppress the essence of the star here for future use.

Skill consumption: 100.

Attribute correction: Intelligence A, Faith A, Mystic S.

Skill Description: A combat skill that directly displays the power of the Universal Light.

Raise the Cosmic Light Spear into the air and open the Gate of Cosmic Light.

It can restrain intangible concepts and essences and seal them within the door.

Or it can be used to temporarily isolate foreign pollution.

It is particularly effective against natural gods and foreign gods.

"Fuck... trough..."

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This light gun..."

He looked back and forth at the light gun with a horrified expression.

"...I thought it was a light spear like the ones used by the Skylight Clan's star spirits, but it turns out to be a special tool forged by the King of Craftsmen himself! Specifically used to suppress stars?"

Look at this fighting skill called "Gate of Cosmic Light". Not to mention the stars, even foreign gods will be suppressed!

"No wonder the nations on land are able to explore the Divine Planet. The divine pollution that is like a deadly poison in this era is actually nothing in the eyes of the king..."

He swallowed and thought of the move called "Gate of the Universe" that Yu Karasuma used when he fought against him.

One is "Universe" and the other is "Cosmic Light". He totally doesn't believe that these two have nothing to do with each other.

Thinking of this, he looked at the golden door again, and his perspective was completely different.

"In other words, this door that requires a secret key to open is actually the Gate of Cosmic Light..."

Ye Yiyi leaned on the light gun, took out the "Secret Key of Starlight", looked down, and fell into deep thought.

The suppressed essence of the stars is sealed in the Gate of Cosmic Light. Although he now has the key, why would he open the door and release the essence?

He has not yet met the requirements for using the Zhenzhou Light Gun, and can only look at the exclusive combat skills but not use them.

What if the essence of the star escapes and becomes uncontrolled, spreading wantonly, and he has no way to reseal it? Wouldn't he become a sinner then?

"But then again, that light gun was protected by a shield. I probably wouldn't have been able to open it on my own. So why did Phantom go out of his way to help me open it?"

He thought for a moment and found that this still pointed to the previous question.

"Who exactly is that phantom? How does it have the ability to activate the Cosmic Light Spear and even open the Cosmic Light Gate?"

Recalling the series of experiences in the Forest of Ten Thousand Stone Crystals, Ye Yiyi seemed to have guessed something.

"Perhaps my guess is correct. The Universal Light may have been secretly assisting me."

"It was like that at the Plant Research Institute, and it was also like that at the Impression Hall. And then there was the spell he gave me on the train. He even helped me activate the light gun and open the door just now..."

"She is the one who guided me to open this door!"

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi no longer hesitated. He walked to the gate with his light gun and raised the secret key in his hand.

I saw golden light flashing above the door, and the key in my hand began to float and fly, decomposing into crystal light spots and merging into the door.

"Click..."

The Gate of Cosmic Light, which had been sealed for countless years, quietly opened a crack.

When Ye Yi looked over, he saw a ray of pale white light flying out from the gap, circling and dancing in the hall whose light was obscured by dark clouds.

Finally, the stream of light gathered at the tip of the Zhenzhou Light Gun and turned into a shining white ball of light.

"Is this the essence of the stars?"

He looked curiously at the ball of light floating at the tip of the gun, and suddenly heard a voice coming from the perception of the cosmic aura.

"Use magic."

"Who?"

He turned his head in surprise, only to find that the voice actually came from the Gate of Cosmic Light in front of him.

"Wait, you can actually talk?"

Ye Yiyi was surprised. Apart from the two platform vehicles, this was the second thing in the entire tower that had self-awareness and could speak.

Then he asked curiously:

"What do you mean by using magic?"

"Use the purest magic power you possess..."

The sound of the Gate of Cosmic Light is vague and rootless, filled with a sense of emptiness.

"Encase it in pure magic power and complete the crystallization of the essence of the star."

Can pure magic power crystallize this essence?

Wait, how does it know I have pure magic power?

Ye Yiyi was in a trance for a moment, looking at the Gate of Cosmic Light with complicated eyes, then he let the dung beetle retreat, and then let go of the light gun in his hand, and his flesh and blood body turned into a ball of ethereal colorless mist.

Although the clouds are colorless and transparent, their outlines can still be seen through the refraction of light, just like the air distorted by high temperature next to a boiler.

This is the magical form of the Interwoven Spirits, a ball of pure and unadulterated magic.

Ye Yiyi is still exploring the abilities of this form. Currently, there is only one known ability: the ability to freely transform into other magic powers whose attributes have been deconstructed, such as Eternal Moon Magic, Skylight Magic, and Ancient Dark Magic.

As for the ability that was previously released directly in the form of ancient dark magic and transformed into a deep torrent, it was related to the metaphysical being and had nothing to do with this appearance.

Of course, now, with the guidance of the Gate of Cosmic Light, he has discovered a new form of use for magic.

"Crystallize the essence?"

He floated over out of curiosity, and just as he wrapped his magical cloud-like body around the pale white ball of light, he "shrank his head" to look, but saw that the ball of light showed no reaction.

"What's going on? No response?"

He "looked up" at the Gate of Cosmic Light in confusion.

"Use your magic to erode it."

"Erosion? How?"

“It’s erosion.”

“How can we do something erodible?”

"..."

The Gate of Cosmic Light suddenly stopped talking.

Ye Yiyi had a strange expression on her face, somewhat puzzled.

"This is my first time as a magic power too. How do I know how to erode? How about you teach me?"

"But I'm just a door..."

The Gate of Cosmic Light spoke in a low voice, which seemed to contain a hint of helplessness.

"...I don't know how either, how can I teach you?"

"Then why did you let me erode it?"

Ye Yiyi was surprised, "And are you sure I can do it?"

"You can do it because you are pure magic."

"But this is my first time as a magician, I don't know how."

"But you are pure magic."

The Gate of Cosmic Light emphasizes.

"But I can't!"

"Use magic to erode it and crystallize it."

"..."

This time it was Ye Yiyi's turn to be speechless. You only talked about the process but not the method. Who the hell would do that?

It’s like your teacher asks you to solve a math problem, you stare at the problem in amazement, and then say you don’t know how to do it and haven’t learned this problem yet, but your teacher emphasizes that you are a college student...

Just pull a few times, this is a very simple thing, it’s better to figure it out on your own than to expect it to teach you.

Ye Yiyi "looked" at the light ball "inside" his body again and tried various methods, such as invading magic power into it, wrapping it with magic power, rubbing and massaging it, or compressing it with magic power, trying to crystallize it.

But it was useless. The ball of light remained the same, with no signs of crystallization at all.

The dung beetles nearby were tired of watching and ran off to wander around other places in the hall.

The Gate of Cosmic Light closed slightly, and the light disappeared.
