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

Chapter 464 Zacian: My Sword Has Become a Spirit?
Gods are highly emotional beings, and even Arceus is no exception.

After putting away the Punishment Pot, Lu Li summoned Merlin, who had already gone far away.

"Grandpa, I've found where they sleep," Lu Li shouted.

Upon hearing this, Merlin quickly returned, his agile gait making him look nothing like a centenarian.

Merlin asked impatiently, "Which direction? Or should we teleport there instantly?"

Seeing Merlin's eagerness, Lu Li couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid He'll come after you?"

"If my death can appease the gods, then I am willing to die at their hands," Merlin said earnestly.

"These fanatics are hopeless," Lu Li thought to himself, then released the Star Spirit.

Merlin looked curiously at the Stellaris that had emerged from the Poké Ball and asked, "Is this the special Eevee?"

Lu Li nodded, then casually stroked the Star Elf's fur.

"A hybrid of Espeon and Umbreon, named Star Elf, would be quite fitting. This should be the only hybrid Eevee in the world, right?"

As a master of psychic abilities, Merlin showed a great interest in the Star Spirits.

"There are only two. Actually, there's also a Vaporeon and Flareon," Lu Li explained.

"So, the rumors are true? A year ago, Ho-Oh really did descend upon the world and take away two special Eevee?" Merlin couldn't help but ask.

Lu Li nodded: "I was there at the time."

Merlin exclaimed sincerely, "Then you are truly lucky."

Lu Li smiled without saying a word.

Meeting a deity is nothing to be lucky about.
Perhaps it is true for others, but for him, meeting a god is not a lucky thing, after all, it is just his daily routine.

Not particularly fond of Merlin, the Star Elf, noticing his gaze, immediately activated Teleport.

The two instantly traversed thousands of miles and arrived at that special valley.

The scenery suddenly changed, and Merlin almost fell to the ground because of his loss of balance.

After finally regaining his footing, Merlin eagerly pressed on, "So... where are the gods?"

“Right in front of you,” Lu Li said, pointing to the two statues in front of him.

"This is a god?"

Merlin curiously examined the two statues before him, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

After observing for a while, Merlin asked, "How should we awaken the gods next?"

"Just keep an eye on things from the side, and be careful. If anything seems wrong, you'd better run." After Lu Li finished speaking, he took out the scale of Wujitana directly from his spatial ring.

For two lazy dogs, this action is no less significant than setting off firecrackers next to two sleeping lazybones.

As soon as Lu Li took out the divine artifact Wujitana, the two stone statues in front of him instantly cracked.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Lu Li quickly put away the scales.

"Mukutana!!!" An angry roar came from Zamarante.

The relatively calm Cangxiang stared sharply at Lu Li.

The overwhelming pressure of two first-level gods pressed down on Lu Li.

Feeling the substantial pressure emanating from him, Lu Li suppressed the urge to resist and helplessly endured it.

Seeing this, Merlin's face was also filled with fear.

He didn't know what the scales Lu Li had just taken out were, but he was certain that they were divine objects, and the objects of the two gods who hated them the most.

"Young people these days are so frivolous and reckless," Merlin thought to himself.

I should have come later.

"Humans?" Zangxiang looked at Lu Li thoughtfully.

Lu Li also curiously looked at Cang Xiang in front of him.

Similar to Zacian in the game, it resembles some dogs in the real world. One of its ears looks like it's missing a piece, its mane hangs down, most of its fur is blue, the white markings on its body look like scars, its ears are connected to braid-like parts, and its limbs are relatively long and narrow.

The Zamranth next to it is the same, with a fairly ordinary canine appearance. One of its ears looks like it's missing a piece, and it has a tuft of hair sticking up. Its body has more distinct angular features compared to the Zamranth.

Like Zacian, his body was covered with patterns resembling wounds, making him look like he was wearing sharp armor.

Interestingly, in the game's lore, Zacian is Zamazenta's older sister, and is also stronger than Zamazenta.

Judging from the current situation, Cangxiang is also more composed than Zangmarante.

If Zacian hadn't stopped Zamazent, Zamazent would probably have already made his move.

"Hello, Zaxiang." Lu Li quickly greeted him.

It's time to test your eloquence...

Just as Cangxiang and Zangmalante were about to respond, the scene before them suddenly distorted, and they were pulled into the world of the mind.

…………

"Groudon? Taleborg!" Zaxiang looked at Groudon and Taleborg in surprise.

Zangmarante walked silently to her sister's side, then grinned and made a face.

Zangmarante thought these two might be looking for trouble, and they even brought a human with them.

"Hello, Zamio, and Zammarante," Talebagos greeted gently.

Groudon let out a muffled cry and then remained silent.

Cangxiang asked curiously, "What brings you two here?"

"Do you even know how much trouble you two have gotten into?!" Talebagos demanded, exasperated.

Zacian: "???"

Zangmarante: "???"

We just took a nap, and then we got into trouble?

Even if you want to shift the blame, this isn't the way to do it.

“Taylorgos, we just took a nap. We didn’t interfere with the world, or even the secret realm,” Cangxiang retorted with a dark face.

Upon seeing this, Talebagos immediately said, "The Void is about to revive."

"Impossible! The seal on Eterna will not open for at least four more eras," Souxiang retorted without even thinking.

Of course, they couldn't just go to sleep without making any arrangements.

In fact, they had made ample preparations.

First, let the human king forge the Sword of a Hundred Battles Warrior for them. And even if that human fails, they will awaken two eras before Wuji Tai breaks the seal.

With two eras of preparation time, they had ample time to create the Sword of the Hundred-Battle Warrior. "Due to some special reasons, Eterna awakened prematurely," Talebagos explained helplessly.

Fearing that Zacian and Zamazent wouldn't believe him, Talebagos brought out Groudon: "Groudon can testify to this."

Groudon nodded beside him: "Eterna, which is sealed deep underground, will awaken in at most six months. This is a conservative estimate. Based on my understanding of that guy, it will definitely awaken earlier."

Upon hearing this, Cangxiang and Zangmarante exchanged a glance.

They now believe what Talebagos said.

Zaoxiang roughly understood what was going on, so he asked, "So... Mugentai awakened several eras ahead of schedule, and most importantly, the Sword of the Hundred-Battle Warrior has not yet been successfully forged?"

Talebagos nodded.

Realizing that if they didn't say something soon, the blame might fall on the siblings, Zangmaran questioned them righteously and sternly: "As the god of fate, why didn't you warn us in advance?"

Taile Bagos: “???”

Why don't you listen to what you're saying?
Talebagos looked speechlessly at Zaxiang beside him.

Cangxiang was also a little embarrassed, after all, Zangmarante's behavior did seem to be a forced attempt to shift the blame.

"You damn dog! Don't you want to listen to what you're saying? Look at my current state! If I were in my prime, a mere Wujitana, would I need to come looking for you?"

Talebagos retorted with a displeased expression, while also making a boast.

In fact, even if He were at His peak right now, He would still have a 60/40 chance against Equusium, with Equusium having 60% and Him having 40%, and that would be at the cost of the world's destruction.

At this moment, Zacian finally noticed Talebagos's condition.

"What is this?" Soshou asked, his face full of curiosity.

It's hard to imagine how Taleborgs, a first-level god, or even a chief god, could have gotten himself into such a mess.

"I prematurely brought about the birth of the gods of the past and the future, and then I was inadvertently struck by the backlash of fate," Talebagos explained helplessly.

Talebagos retorted with obvious displeasure, "And is now the time to care about me?"

Zangmarante grumbled, "In half a year, how did my brother and I manage to forge the Sword of a Hundred Battles Warrior?"

Cangxiang's face was also full of helplessness.

Although Zangmarante had a bad temper and spoke harshly, what he said was indeed true.

They messed up.

After venting her frustrations, Zangmarante, like a deflated balloon, complained helplessly, "I told you long ago, sister, you trusted that human too much."

Cangxiang also sighed.

As the god who holds the power of war, He examined the first King Arthur and, after confirming that the first King Arthur could be invincible on the battlefield, He entrusted him with this arduous task.

But who could have imagined that the first King Arthur would die on his way to war?

Thinking of this, Cangxiang felt a pang of frustration.

Seeing the dejected faces of Zacian and Zamazent, Talebagos realized that the two of them were probably really out of options.

Talebagos sighed and then said, "Now I have three suggestions for you to consider. It's up to you which one to choose."

The value of the guidance from the god of fate goes without saying, and the siblings looked at Talebagos with great anticipation.

Talebagos: "The first suggestion is to borrow swords from other worlds."

Zangmarante shook his head decisively: "This suggestion won't work."

Zacian also explained, "This involves some forbidden knowledge, such as the compatibility between the sword and the world. Swords from other worlds will decay when they come to this world unless they absorb enough power of the rules."

"There's not enough time, not to mention that swords from other worlds might not be compatible with us."

“Zanya is right. Just like my Crimson Orb, once it reaches other worlds, it becomes just an ordinary divine object unless it absorbs enough power of the rules,” Groudon added.

Like the Sora siblings, He was a god who possessed a unique divine object, so He knew the intricacies of the matter.

If the unique divine artifact can be shared, then the wars between gods in the multiverse will definitely continue indefinitely.

After all, there's no faster way to make money than by robbing someone.

Talebagos nodded. He had guessed that the suggestion might not work, and he had only brought it up to make up the numbers.

After all, between choosing one out of two and one out of three, the latter better highlights His wisdom.

"The second suggestion is to travel back in time and forcibly change the fate of the first King Arthur," Talebagos proposed again.

Cangxiang shook his head again and explained, "This won't work either. Let's not even talk about whether this will attract the attention of the Time and Space Gods. Even if they can turn a blind eye to it..."

"But traveling through time and space definitely requires the power of other gods. During the forging of the Sword of the Hundred Battles Warrior, the power of other gods is not allowed to intervene."

“No, no, what I mean is, to send a human back in time to help the first King Arthur achieve his many victories,” Talebagos quickly explained.

"Similarly, even if we send a human back to the past, we would inevitably have to rely on the power of the Celebi. Even if she were willing to help us, it would still be against the rules."

After Cangxiang finished speaking, he urged with a frustrated look, "Let's talk about the third method instead."

Instead of giving a direct answer, Talebagos pointed to Lu Li in the real world and asked, "Do you see that human outside?"

Cangxiang and Zangmarante glanced at Lu Li, then nodded with strange expressions.

"I saw it, it is indeed quite special, and you guys went a bit too far," Zangmarante remarked.

Cangxiang also asked, "How does this energy contain so many divine imprints?"

Taile Bagos: "..."

He discovered that the two dogs were real dogs!
Is this the time to dwell on these things? We're talking about saving the world! Can we please stop going off-topic?
Talebagos, who was inwardly roaring with frustration, reminded us with a dark face, "We're talking about the Sword of the Hundred-Battle Warrior, can we not go off-topic?"

"Didn't you tell us to watch this?" Zangmarante muttered unhappily.

Although Zaxiang also wanted to complain, he could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

“I saw it. What’s so special about that human? How can He help us?” Zacian asked cooperatively.

Talebagos said quietly, "What I showed you was not the person, but the special shield-and-sword monster inside his body."

"A Shielded Sword Monster?" Zacian's eyes narrowed, and then he connected to the world's origin without hesitation.

A moment later, Cangxiang gasped and stared at Lu Li in disbelief.

"This... the Sword of the Hundred Battles Warrior has come to life?" Zaxiang exclaimed in disbelief.

"Wait a minute! This isn't something elves learn!" Zamarant was equally shocked.

Throughout the entire multiverse, they have never heard of anyone whose sword dog's sword could become sentient.

This is completely against the rules!

With a displeased look, Talebagos corrected, "Wake up! That's the spirit of my family's destiny messenger, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your Hundred-Battle Warrior's Sword."
