Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

See through the deception, act swiftly, investigate weaknesses, and uncover the true identity.

Luo Tianyi received the prayer of the Star Voice.

The voice she utters will become power.

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens obtained a piece of equipment called Dark Night Wings.

It allows her to fly freely, jump through space, and use gravity magic.

Finally, Xiling also obtained a piece of equipment: the Starry Cloak.

Although it's called a cloak, it's actually a defensive piece of equipment that can store some items, and that's it.

"No, this doesn't make sense at all!" Looking at the Penglai Temple Nine Heavens shouting in the sky, Xiling shed tears of envy.

He was the one who was going to make a deal with the supreme will, so why did he only get this little bit in return?

Just as Xiling was complaining about the injustice of the Supreme Will, she saw Kevin standing motionless in the same spot.

"What's wrong with this guy?" Xiling walked up and patted Kevin on the shoulder.

"What's going on? Why are you standing still?"

"I feel like something's not right."

"what's the situation?"

Under Xiling's questioning gaze, Kevin clenched his fists and said, "I've become so strong."

Xiling: "...Are you out of your mind? I was actually worried about you for a second just now. What a waste of my time!"

Kevin looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said in a nonchalant tone, "You don't understand."

"Looks like I'll have to practice with you today," Xiling said, stretching her muscles a little.

He killed a lot of monsters during the third Honkai Impact 3rd; in game terms, he leveled up a lot.

Today he was going to show Kevin what a crushing victory really meant.

Xiling was full of confidence at the moment, but if he had seen Kevin's stats now, he probably wouldn't have said that.

So, under the watchful eyes of the other group members...

The two began to fight.

Half an hour later, Xiling won.

Chapter Eighteen: I Am a Hero

"Alright, let's begin the meeting now," Xilin said, patting the round table that had appeared out of nowhere and looking at the five people who were seated.

"It's supposed to be a meeting, but how are we going to organize it?" Kevin took a bite of the watermelon he had brought.

“We don’t understand this world, not even I, a native of this world,” the Faded One said, reflecting on his newly acquired magic.

"Currently, it seems that only you, Xiling, have some understanding of this place. Tell me your thoughts."

Remian's words drew everyone's attention to Xiling.

Xiling nodded. "Then let me explain."

Xiling compared the Holy Sword to a pointer, pointing it at the golden tree in the distance. "Do you see that tree? That tree is called the Golden Tree."

Everyone nodded, and Xiling continued, "The voice that contacted us earlier is called the Supreme Will, or at least that's what everyone calls it. And that golden tree was brought down by the Supreme Will."

"Why did He take down this tree?" Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao raised his hand and asked.

"Let me finish speaking first."

"Ok"

"In the past, the Supreme Will sent a golden meteor and a beast to the Borderlands. When they arrived, electricity merged with the energy of the Borderlands, giving birth to something called the Elden Ring. At that time, the Elden Ring influenced another magical thing in the Borderlands, the Forge of Life."

"The Forge of Life is the origin of life in the Borderlands, but under the influence of the Elden Ring, it has become that dazzling golden tree."

"Because things have changed, the Golden Tree is no longer the same as the Forge of Life it once was. Back then, the Supreme Will still watched over this world, and He needed someone to enforce His order."

"I smell the scent of dark literature," Penglai Temple Jiuxiao whispered to Luo Tianyi beside him.

Luo Tianyi nodded. "I also feel something's a bit strange."

"The new order is called the Golden Law, and the Golden Law is a set of rules that govern the operation of the entire Borderlands."

"The messengers of the Supreme Will faction came to the border to select candidates for the vessel of the Dharma Ring."

"The chosen one was named Marika, and she was later known as the Eternal Queen."

Xiling plopped back into her chair. "Actually, that's about it. The rest is about how many people were dissatisfied with the new order, so a war broke out, but ultimately the Golden Law faction won."

"The Golden Law also became the law of order, rule, and immutability in the border regions."

"Can you tell me exactly what the Golden Law is?" Kevin raised his hand and asked curiously.

"The Golden Law was a wonderful thing for ordinary people, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a god."

"What do you mean? The Golden Law has been smashed!" Everyone stared wide-eyed at Xiling, wanting to get an answer from her. After listening for so long, they knew that the importance of the Golden Law was self-evident.

"Could it be those who oppose the Golden Law who did this!" The Faded One asked hastily. After all, this was his world, and he had to confirm it.

Others also thought the Faded One's guess made a lot of sense; otherwise, it couldn't have been done by someone from the Golden Law side.

"No, it was that chosen god, Marika, who did it."

Ah!

No! Seriously! It wasn't someone else who did it, but the chosen person!

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Xiling said, "That's why they call them gods."

"She shattered the ring of law, which created more loopholes in the Golden Law, causing a shift in the world order, and this shift was heading in a bad direction."

Everyone understood what Xiling meant, but they were still puzzled. So the Faded One spoke up, "Why did she smash the magic ring? Shouldn't she be the biggest supporter of the Golden Law?"

"I'm not sure about her support for the Golden Law. I only know that the Ring of Law was broken because of her, and many other things were caused by her. As for her purpose in doing so, it was to rebel..." Xiling pointed her finger at the starry sky above.

Everyone saw Xiling's action, and understood her meaning without her saying a word: "Rebellion against the supreme will."

The Faded One took a deep breath. "So that being wants us to repair the magic ring and restore the Golden Law?"

Xiling waved her hand. "The magic ring needs to be repaired, but He didn't say whether it's related to the Golden Law."

A smile bloomed on Xiling's face. "He wants an uncertain future, so I will give him an uncertain future." With that, Xiling took out an item from her starry cloak.

A silver-white ring floated in Xiling's hand, an unknown law, a blank law descended by the supreme will, which Xiling then personally wove and named "The Silver Law."

Xiling put the Silver Law back into her Starry Cloak, and at that moment, the Faded One took a deep breath. "Xiling, may I ask you a question?"

Xiling looked at the faded one.

The Faded One stared at Xiling for a long time before finally speaking, "Why did you agree to this deal? I don't believe it's because you need power, when this world has nothing to do with you."

Xiling blinked, as if he hadn't expected the Faded One to ask him this question.

After staring intently into the eyes of the one who had faded, Xilin burst out laughing. "Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean 'it has nothing to do with me,' hahaha!"

Seeing Mind clutching his stomach and laughing heartily, Faded One banged on the round table and shouted, "Hey! I'm being very serious!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I know," Xilin said, though she stopped laughing, a smile still lingered on her face.

Xiling placed his hand on his chest, his smile softening, his tone becoming serious. "If you ask why, I can only tell you, I am a hero."

Xiling stood up from the stool and looked at everyone. "Although you all know I am the hero, I need to introduce myself again."

"My name is Xiling. I am a hero, someone who lends a helping hand to those who need it, and draws my sword against those who are evil."

Xiling turned her gaze to the faded one. "From the moment you first arrived at the Borderlands, I've been thinking about how to save this place. But I probably can't do it alone. However, though I'm ashamed to say it, the Supreme Will has indeed given me a chance, a chance to save the Borderlands."

Xiling sighed. "To be honest, I don't think you should have come here. It's far too dangerous for you."

Kevin said, "Isn't it too late to say all this now?"

"No, you can go back to your own world now, and I'll take care of things here."

"Are you kidding me, you savior of the world?!" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao slammed his fist on the table and stood up, becoming the first to disagree.

"You're the hero, why aren't you running? You want me, the savior, to run? Are you kidding me?"

Remien smiled and said, "Mutual help, wasn't that what you said before? There's still your message in the chat group."

Although Luo Tianyi was a little timid, she still mustered up her courage and said, "I told you before that I would never abandon my friends and run away."

“That means it passed unanimously,” Kevin stood up and raised his fist high.

"Let's start discussing the plan now."

Oh!

Seeing the five people discussing enthusiastically, Xiling remained where she was. After a long while, Xiling chuckled and joined the discussion.

Chapter Nineteen: The World Will Begin to Change at This Moment

Not far from Stonewell, the six looked out at the distant city walls where many guards were pacing back and forth.

"Are those people who are like zombies turned out this way because they lost the blessing of the Golden Law?" The daylight bonus allowed Kevin to easily see the strange features on the guards of Stonewell City.

Xiling nodded in response to Kevin's question, "That's right, because the shattering of the magic ring has turned even immortality into a curse, and the souls of these people have all become damaged."

Xiling turned her gaze to Luo Tianyi, "I'm counting on you for now, Tianyi."

Luo Tianyi's ability, Star Voice, allows her to transform sound into power. This power is extremely forceful; it can even bring ordinary trees to life, turning them into something like tree spirits, and it can also make stones move. Of course, doing these things requires mental energy, which can be recovered after rest.

Because of Luo Tianyi's ability, the group came up with a plan—a plan that wouldn't require much fighting: to simply use her ability to hypnotize the soldiers.

Luo Tianyi scratched her head and said, "I don't know if it will succeed."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao pounced on Luo Tianyi from behind, hugged her, and said with a smile, "I believe you can definitely do it, Tianyi. After all, you are the savior's partner."

Xiling reached out and flicked the savior's head hard. Penglai Temple Jiuxiao winced and withdrew his hand from Luo Tianyi, clutching his forehead and looking pitifully at Xiling, "Hero, what are you doing?"

Xiling withdrew her hand and pulled Luo Tianyi behind her before looking at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, "This is our hero team's support, don't mistake people for others, okay?"

"Hmph, you'll regret this, brave warrior," Penglaiji Jiuxiao snorted. Then, the two daggers transformed into legs and flew out, arriving behind Penglaiji Jiuxiao. Immediately afterward, the two daggers turned into a pair of wings.

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens Temple exclaimed excitedly, "Alright, let's get started! I can't wait!"

Dark Night Wings possess teleportation abilities. As long as a location is within Penglai Temple Nine Heavens' line of sight, Penglai Temple Nine Heavens can accurately teleport to that location. And now they are about to launch a surprise attack on Stonewell City.

Xiling put her hand on Penglai Temple Jiuxiao's shoulder, and the others followed suit, placing their hands on the shoulders of the people in front of them. Thus, the six of them lined up like an eagle catching chicks.

"Are you ready?"

"let's start"

After saying "OK," Penglaiji Jiuxiao spread his wings completely and stared straight at Stonewell City. Some kind of energy began to flash on his wings, and the next second he disappeared from the spot.

Inside Stonewell.

"Did you hear the wailing last night?" a soldier with lifeless eyes asked his comrade.

"heard it"

Do you think it might happen to us someday?

"Don't overthink it. How could Lord Grek possibly take notice of guards like us?"

"...Lord Greck has gone mad, didn't you see? Those nobles are also getting their limbs set, but he hasn't paid any attention to them!"

"...Stop talking."

"He has never cared about us. Are we really going to serve someone like that?" The soldier's tone was filled with confusion, and those around him who heard him also wore expressions of confusion.

They didn't know where to go. They were once proud of their loyalty to the Golden Clan, but now everything had changed.

Just as these people fell silent.

The sound of horns rang out; it was the horn that would be sounded only when someone discovered the intruders. Countless soldiers began to move and surrounded the six intruders.

The coat draped over his shoulders was flung violently through the air by Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens, making a loud rustling sound. "This is the power of the savior."
