Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 409 Shocking Change! A Rule Bug!

After dinner, everyone, heavily pregnant, lay on the chairs.

Overeating is bad for your health, but at this point, nobody cares about this bad habit anymore. After all, an occasional indulgence is a kind of spice in life.

Jirachi looked at Lu Li with bright eyes, this time with a hint of worship in his gaze.

The little guy had never eaten anything good before, so it's normal for Jirachi to worship him now that he's suddenly eating such a world-class delicacy.

Lu Li still enjoyed this kind of gaze.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time.

Time quickly came to the day Jirachi returned.

The outside world's disturbances did not affect the pleasant life at the Lu family manor.

It's as if the manor has a transparent protective shield, keeping all the conspiracies and schemes of the outside world out of the manor.

In fact, the outside world has already turned upside down.

The alliance spared no expense in its search for the ideal envoy, and even powerful families got involved.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find that ideal messenger.

In the end, the alliance had no choice but to turn to the Starwish Clan.

The Starwish Clan's sensor towers can only react to Jirachi, but if the program is modified, the sensor towers could potentially locate other gods.

But this kind of thing is very risky.

To rashly pry into the minds of the gods is to risk incurring their wrath, which would only result in more harm than good.

But in order to find the ideal messenger, the alliance couldn't care less about anything else.

In the words of the Third Elder, the people of the Kyushu Alliance have gone mad.

"Ninth Brother, have you managed to contact the First Elder?" the Third Elder asked again.

“No, His Highness Jirachi’s return is imminent, and he cannot possibly be bothered to deal with matters in the real world right now,” the Ninth Elder explained.

After saying that, the Ninth Elder sighed again, "It's a pity that the wish of the God of Wishes has been leaked again this time."

The Third Elder comforted them, saying, "That is the choice of the gods. We cannot force it. After all, our Star Wish Clan has already received too many blessings from the God of Wishes."

The Ninth Elder, who was not entirely comfortable with it, sighed, "I hope the person making the wish this time is a good person."

"Prepare for battle. If the other side wants to use Jirachi for evil purposes, then we'll have no choice but to delete them." A cold glint flashed in the Third Elder's eyes.

…………

The stars are shining exceptionally bright tonight, just like the night Jirachi descended.

Jirachi looked at his companions surrounding him with eyes full of reluctance.

A dejected Jirachi said, "Jirachi, it's time to go back."

Meloetta's face was also full of reluctance; she truly loved Jirachi, her simple and fun-loving friend.

"I really hope to see you all again next time, and I hope we'll have the chance to meet again." Jirachi said, taking the wishing slip off his head and solemnly handing it to Lu Li.

Jirachi's eyes were full of hints, almost as if he wanted Lu Li to wish for immortality.

Lu Li chuckled as he accepted the wishing slip.

This little guy is so shrewd, even his hints are so obvious.

Carefully examining the wishing slip, Lu Li asked gently, "Jirachi, can I wish that you won't go back and will stay by my side forever?"

The elder, who was not far away, narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and a hint of coldness even flashed in his eyes.

This guy has a huge appetite! He actually wants to monopolize Prince Jirachi.

but……

A struggle flashed across the Grand Elder's face. This might not necessarily be a bad thing for Jirachi, but...

"Ah~"

The elder sighed softly and closed his eyes.

The Starwish Clan has already received too many blessings from the God of Wishes. It's no exaggeration to say that the Starwish Clan doesn't really need Jirachi's ability to grant wishes anymore.

In order to make Jirachi happy, it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep Jirachi by Lu Li's side. After all, judging from their interactions over the past few days, Lu Li isn't keen on using Jirachi.

Upon hearing this, Jirachi gave a smile that seemed to have a healing quality, then shook his head and said, "No."

Worried that Lu Li might misunderstand, Jirachi added, "Lu Li's wish has already involved my underlying rules, and wishes that involve the power of rules cannot be fulfilled."

Lu Li was not discouraged by this answer. This was just his first plan. Since this method was not working, he would try another one.

"Meloeta, please mute my conversation with Jirachi." Lu Li said, glancing at the Grand Elder not far away.

Meloetta was a god who frequently mingled in human society, and she immediately understood Lu Li's hints.

The power of the rules instantly enveloped Lu Li and Jirachi, so no one could hear or see their conversation anymore.

"Jirachi, if you become completely bound to a human, then you won't need to return, will you?" Lu Li asked.

"Completely bound?" Jirachi tilted his head, looking at Lu Li with a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand the meaning behind Lu Li's words.

Lu Li did not explain, but instead shared the contents and abilities of the soul contract with Kirachi through divine sense.

After receiving the knowledge transmitted by Lu Li through his divine sense, Jirachi looked at Lu Li in disbelief.

Soul contract?

Is this a human capability? Even if Arceus came, he couldn't possibly have such an ability, right?

Kirachi expressed that he was deeply shocked.

"How is it? Is it working?" Lu Li looked at Lu Li expectantly.

"This... seems like a good idea, but the return is the underlying rule of the wishing system. If I sign that contract with you, I will regress into a divine beast."

Upon hearing this explanation, Lu Li's expression changed.

If that's the case, Lu Li doesn't know what to do either.

He couldn't possibly demote Jirachi to godhood just to keep him by his side.

Although he has always been rather selfish, he can sometimes be quite persistent about his so-called bottom line, just like now.

"Humans are so contradictory," Jirachi thought to himself, then quickly added, "But don't worry, the power of the wishing rule will descend again in a thousand years, and I will be able to ascend to godhood again."

Suddenly, Lu Li looked at Jirachi with excitement, as if a glimmer of hope had appeared in the darkness.

If that's the case, then it's fine. Living as a divine beast is perfectly acceptable, as long as the identity of a god remains intact.

Isn't this just like leaving the game running in the background?
The previous AFK state was about returning to the origin of the rules and waiting for reincarnation; the current AFK state is about entering the divine beast state and waiting for the rules to return.

"Then how about we sign a contract?" Lu Li looked at Kirachi with anticipation.

“If it’s Lu Li… I can do it.” Kirachi nodded happily.

Lu Li has just told Him all the advantages and disadvantages of the soul contract.

Just as He just said, if that person is Lu Li, He is willing to live with him and share His authority.

Since Jirachi nodded, Lu Li didn't hesitate any longer and immediately activated the soul contract.

The process of forming a soul contract is very simple, and as long as the other party does not resist, the process can be very short.

The soul contract was formed in almost a few seconds. Before Lu Li could even rejoice at suddenly becoming a half-god of wishes, he looked at Jirachi with astonishment.

Jirachi looked at Lu Li with equal shock.

"Fuck!"

"You can do that?" Lu Li was completely stunned.

Kirachi was even more excited.

"Lu Li! This is unbelievable! How could such a thing happen?" Jirachi excitedly tugged at Lu Li's sleeve.

"Hehe~"

Lu Li revealed a mischievous smile, then looked at Jirachi with a serious expression: "Jirachi, I am the god of wishes, what wish do you want to be granted?"

Go against Tiangang!

But this is fantastic!

As the god of wishes, Jirachi was making a wish on someone else for the first time.

Yes.

After signing the soul contract, Lu Li immediately gained the power of wish fulfillment.

This special ability can only be used when the rules for making a wish align with reality.

The effect is the same as Jirachi's wish sheet, which can help others fulfill their wishes. However, the limitation is also the same as Jirachi's wish power: it can only be used once every thousand years.

In other words, he and Jirachi can now each have one wish granted, which means they have two wishes.

Jirachi awkwardly prepared to make a wish.

Just as Lu Li was waiting for him to speak, Jirachi looked at Lu Li with an innocent expression and said:

"I don't seem to have any wishes, after all, my wishes have already been fulfilled, and the rest would involve the power of rules."

Jirachi's wish was to stay by Luli's side, and He has fulfilled that wish.

“You should do it,” Jirachi said.

Lu Li nodded.

"How about giving me all of Arceus's tablets?" Lu Li tentatively suggested.

“That’s possible.” Jirachi nodded. “However, I can only give you the tablets of Arceus from other worlds.”

If it were anyone else, He would certainly grant their wish without hesitation.

As for the consequences after the wish comes true? What does that have to do with Jirachi?
When the time comes, it won't be Him who faces the enraged Arceus.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's expression changed.

Damn! I almost got myself into trouble.

Lu Li nodded with a sense of relief: "Other worlds are fine too."

"Then write down your wish." Jirachi said in a businesslike manner, after all, this was the procedure for making a wish.

Lu Li nodded, then wrote down his wish on the wishing sheet with a pen.

After finishing writing, Lu Li specifically emphasized that he wanted those unclaimed creation tablets.

Arceus's Tablets of Creation are the embodiment of the laws, and this happens to be a point that does not involve the power of the rules. Normally speaking, this wish is basically the limit of the wishes that Jirachi can fulfill.

After a dazzling white light flashed, 17 stone slabs were neatly arranged in front of Lu Li.

These stone slabs look dull and lifeless, and it's clear at a glance that they are very ancient.

As for why they are dim and lifeless, it is possible that they have lost their owner.

Lu Li, his heart pounding, looked excitedly at the Creation Stone Slab before him.

The greatest cultivation failure in history is finally about to rise to become the greatest holy body in history.

Fearing that someone would steal the stone slab, Lu Li quickly put it away.

Lu Li wondered if it was just his imagination, but Jirachi didn't seem as radiant as before.

"The power of the rules governing my existence has begun to return," Jirachi explained weakly.

This person had already been confirmed, but Lu Li still asked worriedly, "You're not coming back with me, are you?"

Jirachi shook his head and smiled weakly, "No, I'll be fine after a nap."

Lu Li nodded.

He still has one more wish, and Lu Li is also pondering how to handle it.

"correct."

Lu Li had a sudden inspiration and then asked, "Jirachi, does the stronger the wish rule, the stronger you become?"

Although Jirachi didn't know why Lu Li suddenly asked about such common sense, Jirachi still nodded.

"The essence of the power of rules is actually the weight of the world. The higher the weight, the stronger the rules. In addition, the power of faith can also strengthen the rules."

"For us gods, the power of faith is like fuel."

"If the power of faith is so important, why don't you spread your faith?" Lu Li asked, puzzled.

If the power of faith is really that important in this world, then the gods of this world must be very active in vying for the faith of mankind, right?

They even fought so hard their brains were practically spitting fire.

"What we gods actually need is not the power of faith, but the will of all living beings. Just like the god of death, he doesn't need to spread faith. As long as all living beings die, the rules of death will become stronger and stronger."

Worried that Lu Li wouldn't understand the intricacies of the situation, Jirachi used the nearby Meloe Tower as an example.

“As the goddess of song and dance, Sister Meloetta does not need others to believe in her. As long as there is life, and people keep singing and dancing, her power of rules will be continuously strengthened. If life creates new songs and dances, her power of rules will also be strengthened.”

Land from:"……"

Lu Li opened his mouth as if to say something but then stopped himself. He wanted to say that this was not faith.

"If I make a wish and create seven star beads, and someone can collect all seven star beads, I can summon you to grant their wish. Wouldn't that strengthen the power of the wish-granting rules?"

Jirachi pondered seriously for a moment before nodding: "That should count too. Actually, every time I help someone fulfill their wish, my authority increases and the power of the rules grows stronger."

"That makes things simple. See if this works." Lu Li passed on the Dragon Ball settings to Jirachi.

"How about it? Is this okay?" Lu Li looked at Jirachi with anticipation.

"Let me see."

Kirachi mobilized his authority and began the confirmation process.

A moment later, Jirachi opened his eyes.

"Sure! But there will be a situation where, after each wish is granted, the Seven Star Beads will be scattered all over the world, and then they will absorb the power of the laws to recharge."

"These seven star beads are essentially my only divine artifacts. As for the charging time, without my help, it takes 100 years to charge, but with my help, it takes one year." Jirachi explained the settings of the seven star beads in detail.

For a wish-granting god like him, creating a unique divine object is not difficult; the power of rules is equivalent to omnipotent power.

As long as it doesn't involve the rules, it's fine. The seven star beads that Lu Li mentioned just happened to bypass the rules and only involved the laws.

Of course, correspondingly, the seven star beads' ability to grant wishes is certainly not as good as the wishes granted when He was in a divine state.
