Unfortunately, the mechanical dog's self-awareness gradually dissipated over time, and even Pinocchio, the maker, was powerless to do anything about it. He could only keep it in a display cabinet to delay the loss of the mechanical dog's self-awareness as much as possible.

In other words, before meeting Mellen, the mechanical dog was experiencing the process of self-dissipation every moment. It didn't know when it would reach the end, but it knew that when the end came, it would mean complete death.

This is a helpless process of waiting to die.

It was this experience that made the robot dog particularly fond of the concept of "big and strong", and also created a more tenacious character for the robot dog.

This is a precious treasure!

After a brief gathering, the power of the five dogs was injected into Mellen's body. The power of rules contained in the power began to transform his body and soul.

At this moment, Melen's mind entered the sea of rules of the starry universe. Countless gorgeous, magnificent, and grand rivers of rules crisscrossed each other. Countless branches extended from each river of rules. Different branches overlapped and collided with each other, generating more brilliant brilliance, which eventually converged into everything in the starry universe.

Mellen was deeply moved. At this moment, he felt like he had returned to the arms of his "mother". He was free of thoughts and only surrounded by endless warmth. This was the ultimate relaxation of body and soul, and the infinite sublimation of mind and spirit.

Melen seemed to understand the selfless...love that the starry universe has for all living beings.

This is it, God created all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay God!

Just as Mellen was becoming more and more relaxed and about to completely merge into this ocean of rules, a violent shock suddenly came from his mind, and images surged out like a tide...

Risking his own life to save someone, and looking back with the words "I've repaid your kindness with a meal" when on the verge of death; the helplessness of having to let a young man snatch meat and bones from a basin even after training until he was completely exhausted; the determination when making a vow to protect someone; the resoluteness when risking his own life and forgetting his own, in a frenzied battle...

The timidity at their first meeting; the joy of no longer being targeted by the world after accepting the contract; the hesitation of leaving the master to carry out the mission alone; the despair after 'losing' the master; the joy of mastering the power to protect the master...

A ray of light appeared in the fading consciousness; under the guidance of the master, he witnessed the prosperity of the world; after evolving, he shared his strength with the master; he looked forward to searching the world for "food"; and he felt proud when he transformed into a giant fortress and helped the master to wipe out the enemies...

The first person he saw when he was born was his mother; his carefree, doted-on childhood; his efforts to help his mother; the peace of mind he felt when his mother caressed him; and the anxiety he felt when he was unexpectedly separated from his mother and had to inherit the legacy of the Sky Fox alone...

While walking alone, he was fed for the first time in his life (from the perspective of the golden retriever who glorified himself). After being separated, he realized what loneliness was. It seemed that having an owner was not bad. He fought, fought desperately, fought for redemption when he was about to die. He soared into the sky, soaring into the sky with his owner...

Before he knew it, Mellen had experienced a lot, left many marks in this world, and developed a deep bond with the dogs.

These countless memories turned into a solid anchor, pulling Mellen back from the brink of sinking.

In the ocean of rules, Mellen's self-consciousness suddenly condensed, and his illusory body, which was about to completely collapse, became solid again. He felt both emotional and fear in his heart.

Mellen knew that there might be some omissions in this promotion, and he was even prepared to fail in the promotion, learn from the lesson, and make a comeback next time. However, he never expected to encounter such danger.

Normally, to be promoted to a saint, one does need to enter the ocean of rules. This is an opportunity for the new saint. The saint can use this opportunity to improve his or her control over the rules, and can also receive the pure power of rules to baptize the body and soul.

However, Melen was different from ordinary saints. He was baptized by the rules of four saint dogs at the same time. The powerful rivers of rules overlapped with each other, and the force formed almost dragged him into this ocean of rules.

Once Melen's consciousness enters the ocean of rules, it will be completely assimilated, which is equivalent to losing his self!

Fortunately, the Wolf Tamer contract itself has the ability to anchor, and the bond and memories between him and the dogs strengthen this anchor infinitely, which pulled Mellen back from the brink of losing himself.

In that case, instead of waiting for Garuru to become a saint before being promoted, he actually achieved the goal by accident.

However, Mellen felt that with the tenacity of the anchor between him and the dogs, even if Garuru became a saint, there was a good chance that he would succeed directly when he was promoted to a saint.

Moreover, Mellen has already prepared a lot of backup plans in advance. Even if the crisis really comes and he fails to be promoted, at least he can save his life.

However, it is better not to take this kind of risk if you can.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Mellen quickly dismissed them. He had more important things to do next.

In the ocean of rules, Melen could clearly sense that several long rivers of rules were responding to him. As he summoned, the power of rules composed of colorful colors poured into his consciousness.

In reality, as Mellen's self-awareness gradually faded, the dogs in the ceremony were extremely anxious, especially Garuru. It had similar experiences before and was even more worried about its owner.

At this moment, the Wolf Tamer contract was suddenly triggered, and past memories emerged in the minds of the dogs. These memories turned into pictures full of substantial power, enriching the anchor between them.

Pulled by this force, Melen's gradually weakening consciousness suddenly returned. At the same time, the overlapping power of rules appeared out of thin air, completely submerging Melen in it.

The dogs were overjoyed. They were in tune with each other at this point and naturally knew that their owner had already taken the most difficult step. All they had to do next was follow the steps to successfully complete the promotion.

The dogs were not idle either. They all mobilized the power of rules to the greatest extent possible to help their owners build a more solid foundation.

Mellen's promotion is very slow, unlike Spike's ultimate leap after accumulation to the limit, nor is it like Xiao Honglian and Jinmao who achieved success overnight with the help of the opportunity of racial evolution. It is more like Xiao Liuli's slow transformation in a steady manner.

The power of rules flows in Mellen's body, transforming his body and cleansing his soul.

The most essential power of rules gradually attached to his body and soul. Melen even felt that he only needed a thought to move the entire world.

As the ocean of rules gradually calmed down, the power rising from Mellen's body also gradually subsided. He opened his eyes, and there was a faint halo flowing in them. It was not dazzling, but it had a long lingering effect.

It took a long time for Melen to come back to his senses from his confusion. The journey in the ocean of rules did not seem long, but it felt like thousands or tens of thousands of years to him.

Looking at the dogs who gathered around with worried expressions, Mellen smiled. He believed that with these precious 'anchor points', no matter in the past, present or future, he could overcome difficulties and obstacles and achieve his goals!

Mellen stood up and immediately felt the difference. If before he needed to rely on the dogs' active cooperation to use their power of rules, now, he could use his own strength to mobilize the power of rules between heaven and earth with every move.

The palm opened slightly, then suddenly clenched into a fist, golden lightning splashed, immortal fighting spirit rose, and an illusory river of fighting spirit appeared in the sky.

With a slight wave of his hand, a gray light swept across, and all matter and energy were melted wherever it passed.

The blood mist is everywhere, and illusions are everywhere...

After some experiments, Mellen raised the corners of his mouth, looking extremely satisfied.

This promotion was undoubtedly a success. He obtained the power of rules of the dogs. Although it can only reach about 100% or % at present, Melen understands that this is due to his own reasons. With subsequent in-depth exploration, he can reach % of the dogs' level in mastering each kind of rule power.

After understanding the changes in the main body, it is time to witness the miracle...

"Soul synchronization!"

Chapter 430 Nasus, Void, Please Be My Partner

Mellen stroked the Green Mist dog's head and chuckled, "Good dog, guard the house well."

Although Green Mist Dog looked quite reluctant, he still nodded firmly and was determined to complete the task assigned by his master.

Melen took a step forward, and his body instinctively pulled the power of rules to manipulate space. By the time his foot landed, he had already crossed an extremely long distance. After a few steps, he left the spiritual world and entered the void.

At this time, several days had passed since Mellen was promoted to Saint, and there were only a little more than five months left before the adventure into the ruins of the high-dimensional world.

In the past few days, Melen has completely adapted to the power of the saint, and has also been exposed to a lot of knowledge that he had never known before and had no channels to learn.

Just like the danger Mellen encountered during his promotion, is there no genius throughout history who was promoted to a saint using two, three, or even more rules?

The answer must be no, which means that they have also encountered the difficulty of being entangled in multiple rules and dragging their consciousness into the ocean of rules.

If Mellen could know this information in advance, the risk of his promotion could be reduced by at least 50%.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Although Mellen could now learn extraordinary knowledge through the Golden Academy, and his authority was not low, he was only a student after all, not a "member" of the Golden Academy. Many extremely critical or important extraordinary knowledge would definitely not be open to him.

Melen now understands the pain of being a "casual cultivator".

This was before. Melen now encountered an even more difficult problem, which was... the source of the rules!

The most important thing in the saint stage is to master the power of rules corresponding to oneself, perfect the holy body through the power of rules, and build a holy domain. In this process of mutual fit, more power of rules can naturally be mobilized.

Of course, for saints, this control is more like a right of use, just like a credit card. As your credit rating increases, the amount of wealth you can control will also increase, but in the final analysis, this wealth does not belong to you.

Some of them have owners!

After Melen was promoted to a saint, he naturally wanted to see where his limits were. So after a period of getting familiar with his own strength, he activated [Soul Synchrony].

Because Melen also mastered the rules of the dogs, when he activated [Soul Synchrony], the bonus he got was completely one plus one greater than two, which was incomparable to the legendary stage.

The second [Soul Synchronization] that followed gave him a huge surprise.

As the two forces of rules entangled with each other, the improvement in strength was beyond Mellen's imagination.

If we use more precise numbers to describe it, it would be...

The total amount of rule power that Mellen can mobilize = the degree of control over the rule power × the perfection of the holy body × the perfection of the holy domain.

But when Mellen used the entangled power of rules, the total amount of power of rules he could mobilize increased by about 50% on the original basis, and the total amount of each type of power of rules was improved.

This means that Mellen has an extra chance of increasing damage compared to other saints.

And that's not all. When Melen used [Soul Synchronization] three times, this additional success rate was further increased on the original basis, and the increase was even more than 50% of the first time!

At this time, Melen still had some strength left. Just when he was excited to try the [Soul Synchronization] four times, the sudden sense of terror that arose in his mind was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

It felt like a casual glance from some great being from a great distance, but the deep malice contained in it seemed to drag him into the bottomless abyss and make him sink forever.

When Melen came to his senses, [Soul Synchrony] had been lifted without his knowledge. The other dogs didn't understand why, but Little Red Lotus seemed to sense something and was trembling inside Melen's body.

After calming down, based on what he saw at that moment, after a brief thought, Melen came to the most likely conclusion that some rules have an owner. Once Melen used [Soul Synchronization] four times, which was the critical point of the perfect saint's strength, the power of the rules attracted reached the bottom line that those terrifying beings were watching, and one of them had malice towards them.

It was a great existence that occupied a large area in the starry universe and submerged worlds in seas of blood...endless seas of blood!

Melen had a headache. He didn't know what level of existence could occupy the source of the rules, but these existences would undoubtedly become an obstacle to his strength improvement and even the display of his strength.

In particular, there is one among these beings who is filled with extremely clear malice towards Melen.

But soon, Melen calmed down, because the reason was very simple. If these beings entrenched in the source of the rules could really do whatever they wanted to those who came later, then the current starry universe would definitely become one where you would have to worship a specific "god" depending on what kind of rule power you practiced, instead of the chaos of powerful people from various forces like now.

Therefore, there must be some kind of restriction or some method that can help saints avoid this kind of prying.

Of course, it is definitely not easy to obtain this method. After all, the value of a thing is often determined by the wealth and status of the demander.

Just like those luxury goods, a bag worth hundreds of thousands of dollars may not be as sturdy and durable as the ones that cost dozens of dollars on the street in the eyes of normal people; the rich buy a limited edition top luxury car home just to put it in a display cabinet as a decoration.

Similarly, ordinary saints do not have the ability to avoid the sight of the source of the rules, so before this, Spike and the others didn't even know about it.

Only those who are about to become, or have already become, perfect saints will need this knowledge.

This also indirectly proves how valuable this knowledge is.

After figuring this out, Melen felt relieved. As for how to obtain relevant knowledge, he now had two choices...the Council of Beasts and the Golden Academy.

As for the former, although Melen did not intend to hide the fact that he had been promoted to a saint, he was not ready to completely expose his strength.

Although he and the Council of Beasts have begun to accept each other, it is still necessary for him to keep some of his own little cards.

Not to mention the latter. Those who are one step ahead are called geniuses, those who are two or three steps ahead are monsters, but if they are a hundred or eighty steps ahead, they are monsters.

Mellen was confident that he would receive better treatment after revealing his saintly strength, but he couldn't explain why, after becoming a saint, he needed knowledge that only perfect saints could use. He couldn't treat others as fools.

Of course, the main reason is that Mellen is not in a hurry.

There is no way to avoid the gaze of the being entrenched at the source of the rules. It just prevents Mellen from exerting strength above that of a perfect saint, but it does not have much impact on the improvement of his own strength.

Melen planned to try to find it himself first, and if he still couldn't find it, he would go to the Council of Beasts for help.

Mellen's next goal is to find something that can evolve for Garuru. Among them, the things that follow the rules of reality are more difficult to obtain because of their high value. Mellen thinks that there is a high probability that there are treasures of this level in the Baisha Chamber of Commerce, but the latter may not be willing to sell them to him. Even if they are willing, he cannot afford so much money unless he is given decades to manage the Poison Realm and accumulate wealth.

No matter what, he must go to Baisha Chamber of Commerce. After all, having a goal is much better than wandering around aimlessly.

But before that, Mellen has something more important to do.

A few days later, outside the boundaries of Sarron.

Today, the Salon Realm has undergone earth-shaking changes. Looking from the outside world, the entire Salon Realm seems to be shrouded in a layer of illusory shadow.

Although it is now obvious that there are still many differences between the virtual and the real, as time goes by, the virtual and the real are constantly converging and moving towards a more similar direction.

Mellen believes that when the two worlds, virtual and real, completely overlap and merge, that will be the day when the virtual world is completely completed.

Judging from the current situation, this day may not be too far away.

Melen chuckled and stepped into the Sarron Realm.

The sky is warm and sunny, and there are green mountains and clear waters in the distance. I imagine life running freely on the earth and soaring in the sky.

Occasionally, traces of humans can be seen in the deep mountains and dense forests. They are researchers and adventurers who are measuring this new world with their passion.

Mellen chuckled and said, "It's a nice world."

Nasus appeared silently and said with a grin, "Isn't it?! I think it's great too!"

Nowadays, the concept of "virtual" written by Nasus has been deeply integrated with the Sarron Realm. The Holy Spirit Dog can already interfere with the operation of the world to a certain extent, so he discovered it the first time he entered the Sarron Realm.

Mellen looked at Nasus. There seemed to be no change, but he could vaguely feel that the inner essence of the Holy Spirit Dog had become more solid.

If this continues, when the virtual world is completed, Nasus should be able to become a saint with the help of the way of soul.

Melen smiled and listened quietly to Nasus talking about his experiences during this period, including the development of the game, version updates, and how to deal with the world's instinctive counterattack.

Before he knew it, Nasus had fallen asleep comfortably in Melen's arms. During this time, he had devoted himself to his work and had not had a good rest at all, just to complete the experiment as soon as possible so that he could return to Melen.

Mellen's arrival made Nasus completely relax, and he fell asleep in Mellen's arms.

As the gentle evening breeze blew, Mellen gently stroked the Holy Spirit dog while enjoying the unique scenery.

The next day, as the sun rose, Nasus scrabbled his paws and smacked his lips in a daze. After a long moment, his eyes widened and he stared at Mellen in disbelief, muttering to himself, "So, it wasn't a dream?!"

Melen nodded the Holy Spirit Dog's head with amusement and said, "Are you sleepy?"

Nasus said nothing, but just floated to Mellen's cheek and rubbed it gently.

Melen also restrained his smile, hugged the Holy Spirit Dog in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, I know, I know."
