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

Chapter 466 Rules, Authority, and the Power of All Things.

Talebagos's eyes were filled with helplessness.

I want to improve too!

But the problem is, I can't be sure about these things either.

"Let's put progress aside for now and talk about the Sword of the Hundred-Battle Warrior," Talebagos reminded him helplessly.

Is now the time to think about progress? The most urgent task is to save the world!
“Please tell us, my brother and I will listen to you,” Cangxiang said with utmost respect.

Talebagos said, "My suggestion is that you go out and ask Lu Li for his opinion before deciding whether or not to share power."

After exchanging a glance, Cangxiang and Zamarant spoke up, "What if that person disagrees?"

“Then there’s nothing I can do.” Talebagos spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to help.

"Alright." Soshou nodded, then exited the mental world.

Back in the real world, Zacian said in a profound tone, "Human, we've finally waited for you."

Land from:"???"

Lu Li really wanted to ask if they had mistaken him for someone else.

"Um, Zacian, I'm not King Arthur," Lu Li quickly explained.

Some identities can be easily impersonated, but others cannot.

Take, for example, the original King Arthur.

That guy failed to complete the task entrusted to him by Cangxiang and the others, and Lu Li didn't want to take the blame for it.

"I know, but fate has already revealed it." Cangxiang spoke in a profound and enigmatic way, leaving Lu Li feeling completely bewildered.

Lu Li didn't understand, but he roughly knew what the other person meant.

The Cangxiang siblings are waiting for a destined person, and it seems that this destined person is him.

Thinking of this, Lu Li asked cooperatively, "Cangxiang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zacian said, "I want to see the little guy inside your body."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately summoned the Dragon Soul Sword.

Cangxiang squinted as he examined the Dragon Soul Sword, his eyes full of admiration, much like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, becoming more and more enamored with him the more she looked.

"Very good!" Cangxiang nodded in satisfaction and said, "This little guy is called Dragon Soul Sword, right?"

"Don't you know that?" Lu Li was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, Lu Li didn't like the feeling of having his underwear completely exposed.

But gods, you know.

In this world, it's almost impossible to hide something once you've done it. It's no exaggeration to say that just thinking about it could lead to someone digging up old dirt.

The material world can record everything, and so can the mental world.

Cangxiang asked gently, "Now that you've come here, you should already know that the Sword of the Hundred-Battle Warrior was never forged, right?"

Lu Li nodded, then pointed to Merlin, who was trembling and prostrate on the ground, and said, "This old man has come to apologize."

“This is not the fault of humans.” Zacian shook his head, generously choosing to forgive.

Neither Zamio nor Zamarant are the kind of gods who like to shift blame.

It is regrettable that the first King Arthur failed, but it is also an undeniable fact that they misjudged people and fell into a deep sleep prematurely.

Upon hearing this, Merlin trembled and then exclaimed, "Thanks be to my God for His mercy!"

Land from:"……"

Lu Li was speechless.

Fanatics and the like are really hard to like.

Both Zacian and Zamazent chose to ignore Merlin, their minds and eyes fixed on Lu Li and the Dragon Soul Sword.

"Human, do you want your companions to become gods? I mean true gods," Zacian asked.

Upon hearing this, Merlin wished he could go deaf. How could he possibly listen to such secrets between gods?
Lu Li didn't speak, but instead glanced thoughtfully at Merlin beside him.

Zangmarante, who understood immediately, kicked Merlin out of the secret realm.

Having done all this, Zangmarante said nonchalantly, "Alright, there are no outsiders here."

Merlin, who had been kicked out, looked around in confusion.

Good news, God has forgiven them.

The bad news is that it seems they're ignoring them.

"This can be considered a complete ending to all of this. The last wish of the first King Arthur has finally been fulfilled, but it's a pity... that God did not recognize us." Merlin thought to himself, feeling a pang of sadness.

After hesitating for a moment, Merlin ultimately chose to wait in place.

Although he didn't hear the whole thing the deity said, he roughly knew that Lu Li, that enviable young man, was about to become rich.

In order to establish a good relationship with the other party as soon as possible, Merlin certainly couldn't leave.

…………

Lu Li asked impatiently, "You just said you could make my Dragon Soul Sword a god?"

It is almost impossible for an ordinary elf to become a god.

Because the bodies of ordinary elves are insufficient to bear the authority of gods, this is why there is no precedent for ordinary elves becoming gods.

But the Dragon Soul Sword is different.

Theoretically speaking, the Dragon Soul Sword is not a true spirit; it can even be considered Lu Li's clone. Coupled with the characteristics of nourishing the sword in the dantian, the Dragon Soul Sword's endurance is almost godlike.

Furthermore, since the Dragon Soul Sword had already entered the realm of gods (divine beast level), with the two factors combined, if a god were willing to share his authority, then the Dragon Soul Sword would indeed have a certain possibility of becoming a god.

Normally, no deity would be willing to share their authority, because there would be absolutely no benefit to it.

After all, this is just sharing power, not throwing it all away. The constraints of power remain, and the power of the rules will not be strengthened as a result.

This is something that benefits others but not oneself; even a normal deity would not do such a thing.

Zacian nodded and said earnestly, "In order to fight against Eterna, we are willing to share our authority, but..."

After a moment's pause, Cangxiang looked at Lu Li with great concern.

If Lu Li were just an ordinary person, He would definitely demand that the Dragon Soul Sword follow them after Lu Li's death.

But the problem now is that Lu Li, this guy who is suspected to be Arceus's illegitimate son, will definitely have a lifespan of almost eternity, just like them.

This means that Lu Li could not possibly be dead.

This is the most terrible thing.

The Dragon Soul Sword has become a god; to whom should it belong?
If they don't belong to them, what if their own authority is weakened? After all, the Rachelon is a cautionary tale.

Lu Li only needed to think for a moment to figure out why Cang Xiang hesitated.

"The Dragon Soul Sword is one with me. It cannot be separated from me for long. You can borrow it if you need it, but you must never keep it for yourself. That is my bottom line," Lu Li emphasized very seriously.

If Cangxiang really disagrees, then we can simply part ways.

If it really comes down to a contest of raw strength, Lu Li might not be afraid of them.

After all, these two are only in their Hundred Battles Warrior form right now, and they're at the bottom of the first-level gods, almost like sitting at the same table as Milton.

Cangxiang and Zamarant also fell into deep thought; they hadn't expected Lu Li's attitude to be so resolute. In the end, Cangxiang nodded: "As you wish."

After the deal was settled, Lu Li couldn't wait to ask, "So what should we do next?"

Zacian sighed, “First of all, although your Aegislash is special, its physical strength is not enough. With such a body, it cannot bear the authority.”

Lu Li is not a clueless human; in fact, he is the real master when it comes to creating the unique divine artifact.

Although this isn't the only way to create a divine artifact, it's practically the same, since the Dragon Soul Sword itself also possesses item attributes.

After all, a flying sword is still a sword.

“I have an idea, but I don’t know if it’s feasible,” Lu Li suggested.

If any other ordinary person had said this, Cangxiang certainly wouldn't have believed it, but Lu Li was different, so Cangxiang asked, "Tell me."

“Here’s what I’m thinking: I can split the Aegislash in two, and then you can split the Authority in two as well. This way, the Aegislash’s overall physical strength won’t decrease, but the difficulty of bearing the Authority will be reduced by half,” Lu Li said.

"Shield and sword separated?" Zaxiang seemed to be deep in thought.

Zangmarante's eyes lit up.

"Is this related to me?" Zangmarante looked at Lu Li expectantly.

Zaxiang asked, somewhat incredulously, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Lu Li nodded confidently. The essence of the Dragon Soul Sword is a flying sword. It can be divided into ten thousand, let alone two.

Separating the sword and shield is a bit difficult, but it's not actually that hard.

“But even so, it is still not enough to bear the power. Its body will continue to shatter until it dies,” Zacian warned.

“It’s alright. I have special sword-nurturing techniques. The Dragon Soul Sword’s recovery speed can definitely keep up with the speed at which it shatters. Moreover, this is also a kind of forging process, which can be used to strengthen the Dragon Soul Sword,” Lu Li said.

Lu Li realized that all of this was too much of a coincidence.

The Dragon Soul Sword can be divided into a sword and a shield, and it also has item attributes. Coincidentally, his dantian is also suitable for nurturing the sword.

Zacian did not speak, but silently connected with the origin of the world, calculating the feasibility of doing so.

99% success rate!

When Sohō opened his eyes again, they were filled with shock.

Even the world's instincts yearn for Him to do so, so what is there for me to hesitate about?
Thinking of this, Cangxiang nodded decisively: "Then let's do it your way."

The Dragon Soul Sword beside it was also eager to try.

No normal elf doesn't yearn to become a god, just as no human doesn't yearn to become an immortal.

An opportunity to become a god is presented before you. Although the process may be a bit difficult, who could refuse it?
Dragon Soul Sword looked at Lu Li with anticipation, thinking impatiently, "The next thing to do is to win without lifting a finger and become a god."

Lu Li's consciousness instantly took over the Dragon Soul Sword, and then controlled his body to separate.

A short while later, the Dragon Soul Sword gained an additional clone, the Dragon Soul Shield.

Zangmarante and Cangxiang both looked at the sword and shield before them with great satisfaction.

In terms of appearance, the Dragon Soul Sword is absolutely stunning, after all, it was meticulously crafted by Lu Li.

"Little brother!" Cangxiang called out.

Instantly understanding, Zangmarante arrived in front of the Dragon Soul Shield.

Guided by the two deities, the rules came into being.

Something indescribable instantly entered the body of the Dragon Soul Sword and Shield.

Most remarkably, Lu Li discovered that both his divine sense and the soul of the Dragon Soul Sword were constantly transforming.

Despite only being at the Golden Core stage, Lu Li had the illusion that he had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.

The most typical characteristic of the Nascent Soul stage is that the soul leaves the body, and the soul can be used to launch special attacks specifically targeting the souls of others.

Lu Li was also caught in a dilemma, wondering whether he should use his divine sense to guide the power of these rules to change his soul.

The tempering of consciousness and the tempering of the soul are two different concepts, much like the difference between life energy and the origin of life.

If given the choice to temper his soul, Lu Li would definitely prefer to do so.

After all, according to the sayings of the cultivation world, the soul is the foundation of transcendence, and the body is not always something that cannot be abandoned.

For example, a Nascent Soul stage expert can rebuild his physical body and be resurrected after his body is destroyed.

But after much deliberation, Lu Li ultimately chose to play it safe.

The most dangerous thing is when the soul is in trouble. Lu Li is willing to gamble with his body, but he really doesn't dare to gamble with his soul.

The main function of the power of rules is to transform, to transform the soul of the Dragon Soul Sword into its purest state, which is also the state closest to the origin of the world.

This is somewhat similar to transforming a person's soul into one that is compatible with the Way of Heaven.

After the soul and body are transformed and strengthened, the next step is to receive the authority.

Only gods who wield authority can be called gods.

Compared to the simple and brutal power of rules, authority is more like a nuclear bomb.

It arrived so suddenly, catching the Dragon Soul Sword completely off guard.

The Dragon Soul Sword/Shield shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, with countless cracks covering its entire body, as if the Dragon Soul Sword could shatter into dust at any moment.

"Human! If you use your methods, its body can't take it anymore!" Zangxiang shouted.

Seeing this, Lu Li quickly retrieved the Dragon Soul Sword and Shield into his dantian. However, as the Dragon Soul Sword and Shield entered his dantian, it felt as if his dantian was filled with something, giving him a feeling that it might explode at any moment.

"Oh no! What exactly is this power? Why can't even my dantian bear it?" Lu Li's expression changed.

The most critical and unexpected thing happened.

If this continues, let alone using the dantian to nourish the sword, it's uncertain whether the dantian can even be preserved.

In the world of cultivation, a shattered dantian is practically a death sentence. In the world of elves, while it's not quite a death sentence, one would definitely have to start all over again.

Having spent over a decade reaching the Golden Core stage, Lu Li had no desire to go through the Foundation Establishment process again.

"Wait!" Lu Li suddenly thought of that special "golden pill".

Without hesitation, Lu Li quickly guided the overflowing power of the rules into the legendary stone tablet, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of the legendary stone tablet to suppress the authority.

The legendary stone slab truly lived up to its reputation as a special entity containing the power of all things. Under the suppression of the legendary stone slab, the dantian, which was about to burst, finally calmed down.

After doing all this, Lu Li let out a heavy sigh.

"What have you done?" Cangzang Marante's shocked and angry voice rang out.

Cangxiang glared fiercely at Lu Li, looking as if he wanted to tear Lu Li to pieces.

Completely bewildered, Lu Li stared blankly at the two dogs.

“We have suddenly lost one-third of our authority and power of rules,” Zacian said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li roughly guessed the reason.

Legend has it that the stone slab suppressed the authority and rules within the dantian, which is equivalent to severing part of the connection between the authority of Cangxiang and Zangmarante.

As a result, both Cangxiang and Zamarant were downgraded. Originally only at the bottom level of the first-level gods, their strength was further reduced to the level of second-level divine beasts.

However, this should only be temporary. Once the Dragon Soul Sword adapts to these things, it will be able to release the suppression of the legendary stone tablet. At that time, these two dogs might be able to take this opportunity to advance further.
