My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 475 Rusty Horn
Roland was somewhat surprised by the Dragon God's statement.

What does it mean to bypass a boundary?

If an evil god wants to invade the world, can't it only forcefully break through the boundaries or have its followers tamper with the world from the inside to create vulnerabilities?
Seemingly noticing the confusion on Roland's face, the Dragon God slowly began to explain.

You should already know the origin of the Star Ring Law ritual, right?

I won't keep you in suspense any longer.

This ritual was discovered and improved by the Human King, and finally accepted by the Great Source's will through persuasion.

[Essentially, it's a method used by evil gods to invade the world.]

It's like spring rain seeping into the earth.

Compared to the methods of the other four, this is almost harmless. Aside from transferring ownership of the world, there won't be any major changes to the world's creatures or environment.

From my perspective, at least, I'm reluctant to call it an evil god.

Roland had already guessed what the Dragon God wanted to express.

But before he could speak, the Dragon God revealed the answer himself.

That's you. The one who calls himself Roland Lancelot.

The former King of Men is trying to find another way to save the world without directly involving you in the plan.

But he failed; the countless restarted and overwritten timelines are the marks of his sacrifice.

Although he knew beforehand that his human content wasn't very high, he still found it hard to accept when the Dragon God stopped being a riddle teller and started laying the truth bare in front of Roland.

After all, no matter how you look at it, at least from his perspective, he was truly just a human being, both before and for most of the time after his transmigration.

Perhaps it involves the stories in the book that Death mentioned and the people who read those stories, which are related to different dimensions, but in terms of self-awareness, Roland never thought that he would be a non-human.

No matter how you look at it, this is simply outrageous.

But at this moment, Roland, listening to the Dragon God's explanation, roughly understood the Dragon God's intention.

"So, you mean all beings who used the rituals of the Law of the Stars, especially the gods..."

That's right, just as you thought.

The Dragon God interrupted Roland again, but this time the interruption was less calm and more flustered.

Some things are better left unsaid. Speaking them aloud might lead to unforeseen changes.

At the very least, you shouldn't have said it yourself.

[As you suspected, those who use the Star Ring Law ritual to become deities are, strictly speaking, your followers and devotees.]

Even if you have never spoken, and your prayers have never been answered, the fact remains in terms of subordination.

Strictly speaking, these beings, who have become one with the world's operating rules, represent a significant portion of the world under your control.

Although many rules still operate under Da Yuan's control, it's only a matter of time before things come to a head.

[If it weren't for the conversation with the King of Men that changed your attitude and locked the upper limit of the Star Ring Law, the Church might have worshipped even more gods.]

Of course, even without similar administrative authority, there are many beings in this world with nearly as much power as they possess.

Therefore, you are absolutely prohibited from using the Star Ring Law ritual for advancement, not even once.

[If you were to actually do that... perhaps you would simply merge the entire world with you, in a manner akin to a cult sacrifice. The entire world would become the price for your ascension.]

Roland sighed after hearing this: "Thank you for the warning, but you must have something more important to discuss with me today, right?"

"For example, how to solve the real big problems, and how to rid this world of the influence of the evil god." A faint smile appeared on the Dragon God's mountain-like head. This great being, who was usually kind and talkative, used an extremely crude metaphor to explain the method of saving the world.

[It's largely the same as what the God of Truth said.]

To eradicate the influence of the evil gods, the first step is to eliminate all their followers in this world. Then, the boundaries of the world must be repaired, preventing the great enemy from beyond the heavens from casting their spying gaze upon it.

[It seems that the God of Truth has already revealed these things to you. He is indeed by His divine name, and from mere fragmented clues, He deduced almost the entire truth.]

However, lacking crucial information, he ultimately couldn't know the most critical point.

Even for those four formidable enemies from beyond the heavens, the rule that one cannot covet what belongs to someone else still applies.

Unlike the three pillar gods, who are only at the first level, you are truly on par with them.

Therefore, you need to leave your own scent in this world, just as dogs mark their territory with the scent of urine.

Roland: "..."

Although the words are crude but the reasoning is sound... this is just too crude.

"Please explain in more detail, what exactly should I do?"

It's very simple. Let your existence become whole again. After that... you'll naturally know what to do.

Just as a single thought of yours created the underworld, a realm of the dead, this is the power you possess in your entirety. A single thought or idea can alter the fundamental logic of a world.

At this point, Sinos, who had been standing to the side, walked over to Roland and handed him a small stone box.

The Dragon God then began to explain: "This is the deal you made with the King of Men during the period when you reached an agreement with him."

He entrusted the five keys that could unlock your self-imposed seal to a trustworthy friend and a powerful figure.

This is the last one. Take it. But don't use it right away.

**Important:** Do not use the key to break the seal before you see the Golden Horn.

……

……

With a few questions in his mind, Roland left the Dragon God Temple.

Just as he reached the door, he bumped into Celia, who had been invited there.

The keeper's expression wasn't particularly pleasant, but it wasn't angry either.

Just like the subtle, helpless smile that appears on Ms. Flam's face when she's sulking.

The other person noticed his gaze, gave him a subtle smile, and then followed Kareus into the Dragon God Temple.

After that, Roland looked down at the stone box in his hand and then opened it.

Equally unusual, on the runestone, which was unmarked, was the reflection of a rusty, decaying horn.

This is the last key.

However, Roland kept the Dragon God's reminder in mind.

After finishing your journey in Avalon, return to the front lines immediately. You must promptly explain the importance of the matter to the Demon King.

Moreover, the current progress is very encouraging, and we might be able to get back before the main force departs tomorrow.
