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

Mebius examined the object before him from all angles. On the surface, it appeared to be ordinary blood, but in Mebius's mind, it was not blood at all, but rather a manifestation of some kind of will.

Just as Mebius was getting frustrated,

"Hi~ Dr. Möbius, I'm here."

...It's even more annoying now.

......

"Come and eat" emerged from the portal, and Kevin handed Xiling a breakfast he was carrying.

Xiling clasped her hands together, bowed devoutly to Kevin, and said sincerely, "Thank you, great savior, for giving us food. May you have a wonderful day."

Kevin stared speechlessly at Xiling's expression, then walked past him and handed another breakfast to the fading one who had just woken up.

The faded one also accepted the gift with both hands, mimicking Xiling's gesture, and devoutly clasped his hands together in prayer towards Kevin.

Penglaiji Jiuxiao, who had been busy getting ready since waking up and had completely forgotten about breakfast, immediately put her hands together in gratitude to Kevin when she saw the breakfast that her brother had brought over, saying, "The savior will be grateful to you for the rest of her life!"

"...No need."

Despite having eaten a lot of food early in the morning, Luo Tianyi still had an appetite and gratefully accepted Kevin's breakfast, saying thank you.

Remian, tasting what she couldn't tell was coffee or something else, smiled and accepted Kevin's breakfast, saying, "Thank you so much, Kevin."

Kevin shook his head. "It was nothing."

Finally, Kevin placed several dishes on Montgomery's table, smiled at him, and said, "Try them, our breakfast is pretty good."

Montgomery: "...Thank you for your trouble."

Everyone at the conference table had a piece of food, and the meeting discussion officially began.

Xiling looked at everyone before speaking: "Today's meeting mainly addresses a few issues."

"The first issue is the Elden Ring, which will be temporarily taken over by Remian."

Xiling looked at Mengget and asked, "Do you have any questions or comments about this? Please speak up."

Montgomery shook his head. He had witnessed the same scene yesterday. The Elden Ring had made its choice. What else could he say? Was he supposed to stand up and angrily tell everyone that there was only one god at the border, the Eternal Queen, and that no one else could touch the Elden Ring?

Seeing Mongot shake his head, Xiling looked at the crowd again, and the Faded One raised his hand and asked, "Won't this have any impact on An?"

"It will definitely have an impact, but I don't know exactly what that impact will be."

Just as the Faded One was about to say that this was too dangerous and that we should call it quits, Remian spoke up, "Everyone, this is my suggestion, and I'm prepared to take the risks."

Since Remianne has spoken, what else can the others say?

Xiling's gaze slowly swept over each face, and after confirming that there were no more objections, she continued, "Then, let's return to that unavoidable core issue—the future of the borderlands needs order, and the cornerstone of that order, we all know very well, is unity."

Everyone sat up a little straighter.

Xiling continued, “The Magic Academy of Reyarukalia, Gelid, the Volcano Mansion, the Sacred Tree of Michaela, the Blood Dynasty of Monger,” he recited these names one by one, each representing a power capable of carving out a territory:

"And those scattered forces, like fungi growing under decaying leaves, can be ignored for now. Our swords are aimed at these powerful lions and beasts that occupy their own territories—and the fragments of the magic ring they hold tightly in their claws."

“Great Rune…” Mungert’s deep, hoarse voice rang out, his eyes flashing with a complex light. He stared intently at Xiling, his knotted fingers slightly curled, as if he could feel the pulse of those fragments scattered in various places.

"So," he leaned forward slightly, a heavy sense of oppression washing over you, "where do you intend to ignite your first spark of war?"

Xiling did not answer immediately. He slowly raised his left hand, and something flew out of the Starry Cloak and landed in Xiling's hand. A golden ring phantom, with a suffocating majesty but full of cracks and dim light, appeared—the Elden Ring, a symbol of the shattered world, now showed the weakness of control in its incomplete form.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his right hand as well, and a completely different kind of light gathered and flowed in his palm. This light was not the brilliance of gold, but rather cold, pure, and flowing endlessly like liquid silver. It formed itself into a more precise, fluid, and seemingly infinitely calculable circular structure—the Silver Law.

Xiling's voice rang out at that moment, striking the depths of everyone's soul with unparalleled clarity: "Start from here, Mongot. From here."

He slowly brought his hands closer, and the light of the Silver Law began to erode and cover the phantom of the Elden Ring.

“I will replace this broken, unbalanced Law of Gold with the Law of Silver.”

"When the new laws are integrated into the heart of the tree and grafted onto the foundation of the world, that giant tree standing between heaven and earth will no longer be the 'Golden Tree' you are familiar with. Its essence will be rewritten, and its radiance will be changed—gold will fall, and silver will rise!"

Xiling raised her head, her gaze piercing through the dome of the council hall, as if she could already see the changes in the treetops: "At that moment, without any announcement, without any messengers, the entire border region, even the most remote refugees, the most fanatical followers of the mad fire, and the monsters most mired in crimson corruption, will feel this upheaval! The essence of life and death will be redefined—it is the undeniable stirring of the transition between the old and new eras!" Xiling's voice suddenly rose:

"That is our final declaration of war to all forces in the entire border region! From the moment silver replaced gold, whoever you are, from this moment on, anyone who stands in our way is our enemy!"

Chapter Thirty begins

A round of applause filled the conference room.

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens clapped her hands excitedly, her fair cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, as if flames were burning within them. She even stood up excitedly, raising two thumbs up to Xiling, her voice filled with fervor, "That's fantastic! Xiling's words are so inspiring! That's how we should do it!" Xiling's words had already ignited her, and she couldn't wait to put her skills to use.

Xiling: "That's what I'm going to talk about next. We currently have five locations to conquer, as I mentioned before. Now I'm going to assign tasks."

Xiling looked at Menggete and said, "You'll be going to the Blood Dynasty, no objections, right?"

Montgomery: "Just what I wanted."

Xiling nodded and then looked at the faded one, "I'll have to trouble you to come along then."

The faded one didn't say much, simply replying, "Okay."

Xiling's gaze then fell upon Penglai Temple Jiuxiao, who was still in a state of excitement, and Kevin beside her. "So, Kevin, Jiuxiao," Xiling's voice clearly stated the mission objective, "the second objective is Red Lion City, located in Galid. Your goal is to defeat the demigod 'General Shattered Star' Rataen, who is entrenched there!"

Penglaiji Jiuxiao's finger was still on his chin, his eyes sparkling with pure curiosity and a hint of barely perceptible excitement: "'Star Shattering General' Rataen... that sounds incredibly powerful! Just the name alone is intimidating!"

Xiling nodded in agreement. "The other party was known as the strongest demigod, but that was in the past. During the devastation that swept across the borderlands in the Shattered War, he encountered another powerful demigod—the Valkyrie Malenia."

"At the very end of the battle, Malenia unleashed the terrifying power sealed within her—Crimson Corruption. This directly led to the complete corruption of the land of Gelid, turning it into a desolate crimson inferno." Ratahn himself was also corrupted. Under the influence of Crimson Corruption, he was the first to bear the brunt of its most intense erosion. The pain... unimaginable. For him, living under the torment of corruption was perhaps more painful than death.

"His old subordinates, the warriors of the Red Lion Legion, could not bear to see their invincible hero succumb to corruption, decay, and lose his last shred of dignity."

"So they organized a grand 'battle festival' for him, inviting warriors from all sides of the border to challenge General Rataen. Their only goal was to let General Rataen die gloriously as a warrior in a battle of honor, ending his suffering and restoring his shattered dignity."

Xiling looked at Kevin and clearly conveyed the core of the mission: "Kevin, I need you to go to Galid, participate in this festival, and achieve victory in it."

Kevin nodded.

"Then what about me? What should I do?" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao looked at Xiling excitedly.

"You're in charge of taking Kevin to the destination..." Seeing the excited look in Penglai Temple's Jiuxiao's eyes, Xiling thought for a moment and added, "And to prevent any other unforeseen events."

"give it to me!"

Xiling focused her gaze on the last person in the conference room. "Tianyi, stay put and be ready at any time, in case anyone gets ganged up on."

Xiling made a phone gesture. "Got it? Remember to call and tell our Fish-Fried Smash Girl to go up and punch them a couple of times."

Xiling's words immediately made the people in the conference room laugh, while only Menggete sat on the stool looking on in confusion.

Finally, under the excited punches of Luo Tianyi's boxer, Xiling, the leader, stopped laughing.

"The meeting is adjourned here. Montgomery, could you please prepare a few maps and mark the important locations?"

Montgomery's head.

"Alright, that concludes the meeting. Let's get started."

......

The meeting ended, and Mongot hadn't gone far when Kevin called him back.

Montgomery turned to look at Kevin.

Kevin said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mongt, could I ask you for a favor?"

"What's the matter"

"I just wanted to ask if you have any suitable weapons that I can use." Kevin felt that in every battle, either the weapon couldn't withstand his strength, or he was fighting bare-handed. Kevin felt that this wouldn't do, and he still needed to find a weapon.

Meng Gete nodded. "...Come with me."

Seeing this, the one whose skin had faded quickly stepped forward, a polite smile on his face, and asked, "Do you have a staff? May I use it?"

"...Let's go together. Perhaps I'll even need to add a suit of armor for you."

The faded person: "Thank you so much!"

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens followed, excitedly describing the style of armor he wanted.

Watching the person leave, Xiling smiled, then looked at the two beside her and said, "Let's go too."

Luo Tianyi and Remian nodded, and then Xiling pushed Remian's wheelchair and went with Luo Tianyi to the Elden Throne.

Xiling, who was pushing Remian's wheelchair, suddenly asked, "Are you scared?"

Remien smiled and gently shook her head.

Xiling said irritably, "You seem to have it easy, but you're putting all the pressure on me."

Remian looked ahead without turning around and said in a relaxed tone, "After all, you said that if I need anything, I should just ask you for help, because you are the hero."

Hearing Remian's words, Xiling recalled what she had said before and couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, it's true."

"Don't worry, Remien, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Um"

Luo Tianyi, who was following behind the two, felt a little superfluous. Just as she turned her gaze to the scenery in the distance, Xiling's voice reached her ears.

"Does Tianyi feel there's something wrong with her body?"

Luo Tianyi blinked, then quickly ran to Xiling's side, her voice filled with happiness: "I don't feel anything anymore, and I've found that things have become so much more convenient since I gained this ability."

Luo Tianyi held up her fingers and started counting, "Sometimes when I'm lying in bed and want to get something, I can just make it come to me. I can also open my mouth when the lights are off. I can even make food fly into the sky and jump into my mouth. The ability I wanted before, I actually got now. It's amazing!"

Luo Tianyi covered her face with her hands and shook herself excitedly. She used to be able to make food jump into her mouth by itself, and now it had actually come true. Her fantasy had come true. What could be more exciting than this?

Xiling and Leimian looked at Luo Tianyi's happy expression, exchanged a glance, and then smiled at each other.

the other side.

The faded one and Penglai Temple Nine Heavens looked at Kevin in front of them with envy.

The cold, thin black armor fit Kevin's body perfectly. When Kevin moved his arms slightly, the armor clanged together without making a sound, and even his footsteps were barely audible.

Seeing the black sword armor Kevin was wearing, Mongot didn't say anything, and finally handed Kevin a greatsword.

When Kevin took the greatsword, their preparations were complete.

Before long, the four figures left the royal city of Rodel.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Silver Law

Xiling, Remian, and Luo Tianyi returned to the interior of the Golden Tree, where the hole that Kevin had punched had been repaired.

Upon arriving at the center, Xiling looked at Remian and asked, "Are you ready?"

Remian didn't answer immediately, but took a deep, deep breath. The breath seemed to penetrate her very lungs, and after a moment of tension, her signature warm and bright smile bloomed on her face again, though the edges of that smile trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"Yes, I'm ready." Her voice was still clear, but a few decibels lower than usual. "It's just... although it sounds a bit lame, but..." She paused slightly, looking honestly at Xiling, her pink eyes reflecting the other's image and clearly showing the hidden worry. "I really am... still a little scared."

Upon hearing this, Xiling's lips curled into a faint, yet understanding and confident smile: "Hmph. You say that, but you have no intention of backing down in the slightest, do you?"

Remien straightened her back, her smile becoming even brighter and purer: "Wouldn't it be really cowardly to back down? Besides..." her voice softened, filled with complete trust, "aren't you here, hero?"

Xiling's smile vanished, and she nodded solemnly, "Yes. I'm here."

No further words were needed. In an instant, flames erupted!

Elden's Ring and the Silver Law reappeared in Xiling's left and right hands, with fragments of gold and pure silver appearing simultaneously in this space.

Two beams of light illuminated Xiling's left and right sides. Xiling looked at Remian with a serious expression. "Then I'm going to begin. Remian, be prepared. If anything unexpected happens, I will immediately intervene. If you feel anything is wrong, shout it out. Don't try to tough it out."

Remian's expression also turned serious, and she nodded. "I understand."

Xiling nodded. "Then let's begin."

The pure silver law shone brightly at this moment, completely covering the light emanating from the Elden Ring, and the world seemed to change at this moment.
