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

Luo Tianyi nodded. "What is it, Xiling? You can tell me."

Xiling patted herself. "I'll try not to resist. Use hypnosis on me."

"Huh!" Luo Tianyi blinked blankly, not quite understanding what Xiling had said.

Luo Tianyi didn't react immediately, but the others did.

The faded one stroked his chin. "You want Tianyi to help you unlock True Hero Mode?"

"Will this work?" Remien frowned as she pondered the question.

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens, hands on hips, laughed and said, "Whether it works or not, let's try it first, shall we?"

"Oh, I see! Leave it to me." Luo Tianyi clenched her fists as if cheering herself on, and then she came to Xiling's side.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Luo Tianyi took a deep breath, then looked at Xiling and reminded her, "Then I'll begin."

Xiling gave her a thumbs-up and said, "Come on!"

Luo Tianyi opened her mouth to speak, but then something occurred to her. She scratched her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Should I say something?"

Xiling thought for a moment and then said, "Let's talk about breaking through the limits, hero."

"Alright, then break through your limits, brave warrior!" As Luo Tianyi's voice fell, it was as if some kind of shackle had been removed.

Luo Tianyi suddenly clutched her chest and began to breathe rapidly. She felt her heart beating extremely fast and even starting to ache slightly. Luo Tianyi's reaction made Penglai Temple Jiuxiao anxious.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao walked up behind Luo Tianyi and asked anxiously, "Tianyi, what's wrong with you!"

Luo Tianyi was breathing heavily, "I feel a little overwhelmed, a bit uncomfortable."

On the other side, Xiling covered her forehead, as if a certain shackle within her body had been broken, something sealed away was released, and a large number of memories flooded into Xiling's mind. Everything about the hero, things that Xiling had never known before, all flooded into Xiling's mind.

Hearing Luo Tianyi's rapid breathing beside her, Xiling instinctively put her hand on Luo Tianyi's shoulder, and the next second, Luo Tianyi, who was feeling a little uncomfortable, immediately recovered.

{A brave person can do anything if they want to, as long as they can afford the price.}

Once recovered, Luo Tianyi looked at Xiling, the owner of the arm. At that moment, the other three people present all stared at Xiling in astonishment.

At this moment, Xiling has changed dramatically. White, firefly-like light surrounds him, and his originally black hair has turned white.

Xiling concealed her confusion and smiled at the astonished looks on everyone's faces. "The essence of the Liberator Hero is just who I am now. I'll explain it to you all when I have time. I'll be right back."

Chat group time travel system activated!

Inside the underground world, Kevin and Radagan are still locked in combat. In terms of strength, speed, and defense, Kevin has far surpassed Radagan. However, Radagan continues to hold Kevin back by relying on the Golden Law and his own combat skills.

A fist carrying terrifying power struck Rdagan in the chest, sending him flying. He crashed through countless obstacles and landed on the ground. Without pausing, Rdagan rolled to the left to avoid Kevin's stomp, and a lightning spear appeared in his hand, which he hurled fiercely at Kevin.

Just as the lightning spear was about to hit Kevin, a dark figure that looked exactly like Kevin blocked the spear. Radagan slammed his hand on the ground, causing it to crack. He also rose into the air, avoiding the sneak attack from the other dark figure, but was kicked in the abdomen by Kevin's real body, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground. However, he quickly got back up.

Kevin's offensive was very powerful, but he was not destined to die. He had no means to harm Rdagan. No matter how much he suppressed his opponent, without a way to counter him, Kevin could not completely defeat Rdagan. But this was not the worst of it.

Kevin felt his power rapidly draining away. The boundary between day and night was only three minutes, yet Kevin had not defeated Radagan within those three minutes. If he had the Death's Decree or another weapon, the battle might have already ended.

Radagan, who had stood up, seemed to sense Kevin's waning power. He had been maintaining a defensive stance, but now he was subtly shifting towards an offensive posture.

The black and white halo above Kevin's head has begun to disappear, and the clothes that were once wrapped in stars have returned to their original state.

“This is getting a little bad,” Kevin said, wiping away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

Now, as if confirming Kevin's situation, Radagan quickened his pace, his power began to gather, and at that moment, a portal of light appeared around Kevin.

As the door closed, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "You were really slow!"

But when Kevin saw the person walking out of the portal, his eyes immediately filled with confusion. It wasn't his own hero, and he'd already dyed his hair in just a few minutes. Was this right? This didn't seem right.

"I'm not late, am I?" Xiling smiled at Kevin as she walked out of the portal.

"No, you've come at just the right time. By the way, what's going on with you?" Kevin shook his head, banishing the strange thoughts from his mind, and then asked with some confusion.

“I’ll tell you and everyone else later, for now…” Xiling turned her gaze to Radagan.

"I'll finish the final touches."

After speaking, Xiling raised her hand, and her Starry Cloak automatically blocked Radagan's lightning spear.

Without drawing the Holy Sword, Xiling, wielding the Thunder Spear, vanished from her spot in an instant. Before Radagan could react, Xiling's fist slammed into Radagan's chin.

The immense force propelled Rdagan directly into the ground like a rocket, piercing through the rock and soil above him. As soon as he landed, a hand pressed down on Rdagan's head. "Calm down a bit," said Xiling, expressionless, before slamming Rdagan heavily to the ground.

Immediately, a deep crater appeared on the ground.

Xiling, still holding Radagan to the ground, asked calmly, "Are you awake?"

After a long period of questioning, a deep, hoarse male voice finally rang out.

"...I'm awake now."

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Elden Ring

From the moment they met until the battle began, Radagan remained completely silent, like a robot. But at this moment, he did speak and answered Xiling's question.

"Shall we continue fighting?" Xiling released Radagan and stood up, seemingly unconcerned that the other party would suggest continuing the fight. Xiling was very strong now, stronger than ever before.

The heroes are a race, a race of miracles, born saviors. When their beliefs and their will reach a certain height, they will enter the next stage. If we compare the Xiling of the past to the growth stage, then the Xiling of the present has completely entered the maturity stage. This means that the Xiling has truly taken a step on the path of the heroes.

As Xiling took this step, news about the hero flooded into his mind.

Perhaps none of the heroes of the past could have imagined that the heroes of the future would break through the growth period in this way.

Radagan braced himself on the ground and stood up. His dilapidated body still didn't reveal his expression. Xiling looked up and met his gaze. Neither of them spoke, and the surroundings were silent.

After a long while, Radagan shifted his gaze from Xiling to the distant Golden Tree, the very thing he had once desperately tried to protect. Radagan then looked around. With his vision, he could see far too much. He saw the chaotic borderlands, he saw crimson, he saw corruption and death.

Radagan took a long breath, even though his body couldn't do it right now. After finishing all this, Radagan turned his gaze to Xiling, to the person who had somehow awakened him. A hoarse voice came from Radagan's throat, "Who exactly are you?"

"Hero Xiling"

"A hero...?"

"Although I don't know how you woke me up, you must have had your purpose."

Xiling smiled and pointed to the shattered Elden Ring inside the other person's body. "I came for this."

"...For the Elden Ring? What do you intend to use it for?"

"Is it for power, or to become... king?" Golden energy surged again in Rdagan's hands. With his consciousness, Rdagan could borrow the remaining power of the great runes in the spell ring.

Seeing the other party's current plan, Xiling smiled and said, "Are you still going to fight?"

“I can’t beat you, but that doesn’t mean I’ll surrender. The Golden Law must not fall into the hands of villains.” Radagan’s aura began to rise.

Facing Radagan, who seemed ready to attack at any moment, Xiling's expression remained unchanged. She spoke softly to Radagan, "You might have misunderstood something."

Before Radagan could react, Xiling appeared in front of him instantly and placed her hand on the Elden Ring. The moment Xiling touched the ring, it seemed to jump excitedly onto Xiling's arm like a puppy. Radagan stared in astonishment at this scene, and before he could stop her, Xiling's voice rang out again.

"You can't stop me from doing what I want. If you still want to do something for the border region, then come find me."

An immense, irresistible force surged from his chest throughout his body, sending Radagan flying backward. His gaze remained fixed on Xiling as he disappeared into the horizon.

After doing all this, Xiling looked at the Elden Ring in her hand; it was now night.

"It's only been one day, but it feels like an eternity."

Touching her soft white hair, Xiling looked around at the devastated landscape and stroked her chin. "Let's give it a try."

White, firefly-like magic swirled around Xiling. Just then, Xiling reached out her hand, and the next second, the surrounding land was like a painting of ocean waves. The soil rolled and surged like tides, and the originally uneven ground and the entrance to the underground world were quickly covered and restored to their original state.

"Done!" Xiling clapped her hands and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the chat group time travel system was activated!

The group at the Elden Throne were chatting animatedly, with Kevin in particular proudly puffing out his chest as he accepted everyone's praise.

The faded one gave two thumbs up and said, "In your world's terms, that's called awesome! Kevin, you're awesome!"

“Kevin, I think you should change your tone when you said that. Let me demonstrate!” Penglaiji Jiuxiao took a deep breath and stepped forward. At the same time, her expression was solemn, and her tone became high-spirited, “Feel fortunate, you will witness this great moment. I am the unchanging night, I am the eternal sun!”

Thank you for your speech, Comrade Jiuxiao. My neighbor, Luo Tianyi, has already started digging her toes into the ground.

"Speaking of which, Xiling hasn't returned yet," Remian said, looking into the distance with some concern.

The same was true for Montgomery, who was some distance away from them.

Just then, a portal appeared, and the group immediately looked over it.

Xiling stepped out of the portal, holding the Elden Ring in one hand and waving the other to the crowd, "Done."

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately gathered around.

"I didn't expect everyone to care about me so much!" Xiling felt a warmth in her heart, and then she saw five people surrounding the magic ring in her hand, constantly examining it.

"...These guys were just being moved for nothing."

Observing the fading Elden Ring, the one remarked, "Is this the Elden Ring? It doesn't seem that impressive."

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens immediately retorted: "The more ordinary something is, the more unfathomable it is. I have already sensed the power contained within this Elden Ring."

"You actually felt it?" The Faded One rolled his eyes at Penglai Temple Nine Heavens.

"Hey! Ah Tui, what do you mean?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao sensed a strong distrust.

“I didn’t say anything,” the faded man said, raising his hands as if to prove his innocence.

However, the more the faded one acted this way, the redder Penglai Temple Nine Heavens' face became. "Brave warrior, could you lend me the Elden Ring for a moment?"

"Oh, here you go," Xiling casually handed the Elden Ring to Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao.

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao immediately picked up the Elden Ring and examined it. She looked at it from left to right, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't figure out what the Elden Ring was made of or what was so magical about it, and she immediately lost heart.

Mongot just watched as the Elden Ring was examined over and over by the Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao and the others. He wanted to reach out and ask them to show some respect, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Just as everyone was taking turns examining the Elden Ring, Kevin took it, glanced at it casually without noticing anything, and handed it to Remian.

Remian reached out and took the Elden Ring. In the next second, the Elden Ring seemed to sense something and tried to plunge into Remian's body, but it was stopped by a hand.

Looking at the calm Elden Ring in her hand, Xiling frowned. "What's going on?"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Remian's Choice

Xiling looked at the Elden Ring in her hand with a puzzled expression. This thing had almost entered Remian's body just now. If Xiling hadn't stopped it, it would have succeeded.

"No, how can this thing move!" Everyone had seen what happened, and the one who had faded exclaimed in surprise.

Xiling was equally puzzled, and he shook his head. "I don't know about this either."

Just then, Montgomery stepped forward. He first gave Elden's Ring a deep look, then turned his gaze to Remian. Remian blinked, somewhat confused, and it was this blinking that made Montgomery notice the unusual look in her eyes—a kind of blessing.

The moment Montgomery thought of the origin of the blessing, he couldn't help but whisper, "The blessing of the supreme will."

His whispers naturally did not escape everyone's ears, and Xiling immediately made the connection. He looked at the Elden Ring in his hand, or more accurately, Xiling was looking at the Beast of Elden.

It is a creation belonging to the supreme will. Perhaps the other party sensed the blessing of the supreme will on Remian, and thus wanted to enter Remian's body.

"But why did it choose Remian instead of Kevin?" Xiling looked at Kevin and then at Remian. Both of them received blessings. Surely the Beast of Elden wouldn't choose a gender, would it?

Xiling shook her head, dismissing the thought, then tossed the Elden Ring into the Starry Cloak before smiling at everyone. "Very good, we've completed half of our strategy in just one day. We should be having a celebration banquet at a time like this, but unfortunately, time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's get some rest later."

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! Is it really necessary to say something so discouraging at a time like this?"

"Aren't you tired?" Xi Ling casually glanced at Penglai Temple Jiuxiao. After entering the mature stage, he could tell a person's condition just by looking at them. Everyone present was exhausted, especially Kevin, Luo Tianyi, and finally Penglai Temple Jiuxiao.

Remian and the Faded One were alright; they hadn't expended much energy, but they had still been running around all day and deserved a rest. Theoretically, Xiling could restore everyone's strength immediately, but he didn't want to do that. If possible, he hoped his friends could recover their strength through rest.

The hero's ability is not the so-called wish fulfillment; on the contrary, the hero's ability is an extremely domineering power. The hero uses his will to distort the world and distort reality, and what executes all of this is the hero's magic. The white magic is an extension of the hero's will, and the hero's characteristics are: an undying will and eternal immortality. This is why Xiling's magic is EX.

Xiling hoped not to use this power on her friends, because... it's addictive.

"Are we alright leaving like this?" Kevin asked Xiling before leaving.

Xiling gave Kevin an OK sign, "I've already tried it, don't worry."
