Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 540 Kill the God!

The three words "I agree" seem to carry immense weight.

In an instant, all the chaotic emotions in the room were shattered. Victor stopped sobbing, Iris walked out of the tent, and even Collins let out an angry growl.

"Fafner, you have no right! No!"

Victor's hair and beard stood on end, his eyes bloodshot, and he spoke, word by word:

"This world...this world is our home!"

"No, those who stay will understand what to choose, Victor. Don't speak when you've lost control of your emotions."

Calm down, and you'll find the answer yourself.

Fafner spoke calmly, his greyish-white eyes reflecting the tens of thousands of dead people he had once documented.

These fallen warriors live on forever in Fafner's mind in another way, and now they have made a decision together.

"Only we and a few others in the camp are left to barely survive in the Burning Heart, along with Holy Decree and that old guy Collins."

Needless to say, you can't expect a bunch of tree stumps with faces to carry on the family line.

Don't you understand? Whether or not we can defeat the darkness, we have already marched towards our demise!

Fafner suddenly roared:
"Do you really expect Xia and Iris to reproduce all of humanity again? Are you kidding me?"
The kingdom's theological seminary research team discovered hundreds of years ago that consanguineous marriage greatly increases the likelihood of children having birth defects.

To reproduce and create a population, at least 15 healthy couples are needed!

Fafner's sudden anger startled Victor and the others, causing them to break free from their previous fierce resistance.

The old recorder never lost his temper; he always silently recorded everything.

That's why his anger seemed so powerful. Fafner took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and spoke each word as if a thousand souls were roaring along with him:

"We exist because the world exists, and the world will not lose its color because we disappear."

But as the proudest race under this starry sky, I would rather entrust this world to a race worthy of my trust, so that they may continue our story.

Fafner looked at Victor, then at Iris, then at Collins, and suddenly roared:
"We should only have one goal now, and that is to kill that son of a bitch, Darkness!"

The room fell into complete silence as time ticked by.

After a long silence, Victor nodded dejectedly, looking as if he had aged considerably.

“You’re right. Those old guys who stayed at the camp, including those old wooden stakes, would be more than happy to sacrifice themselves to kill this monster if they knew about this exchange!”

Fafner nodded, looked at Li Xia, and then said something that shocked everyone once again:

"Xia, you're not from this world, are you?"

Li Xia nodded, acknowledging the fact.

"No wonder. I once suspected that I had missed the information about the lost ones, but when you said that the price was your world, the thing that had been bothering me finally had an answer."

"In that case, I entrust everything to you, Xia."

Ignoring the complex emotions in Victor and the others' eyes, which were a mixture of shock, confusion, and disappointment.

"Yes, I need a little time."

Li Xia sat cross-legged on the ground, and the three little ones, who had been unable to contain themselves for a long time, immediately rushed over.

They were so curious they were dying to know.

"Boss, boss, you mean the Stone Golem race, right?"

Awoo spoke first, for that battle had left an equally deep impression on it:

"Those silly stone golems are indeed a pretty good race, but if they want to fight against the Old Gods, could it be that they want to bring the Star Gods over to help them?"

"Yes, that's what I thought."

So far, the only one they've encountered who can definitively challenge the Old Gods is the Star God.

The only beings who can stand against a 'god' are those who are also called 'gods'.

"But would the Star God be willing? He's in such a terrible state now because he was beaten by the Old Gods back then, right?"
I feel that He wouldn't want to get involved in such things again.

Li Xia sighed softly: "That's why I said it's not certain, but if it can give the Stone People a new home where they can live and work in peace and contentment..."

I feel like I have a chance!

The three little ones nodded silently, and then Black Charcoal raised its paw:

"Meow!"

"How do we contact the Star God? And how does He get here?"

A slight smile appeared on Li Xia's face:
"Have you forgotten how darkness came to be?"

How did darkness descend?

Aowu was taken aback, then immediately recalled the world introduction and the information he had heard while chatting with Zhuoxin.

To go further, the seven sages found the ancient altar.
"An ancient altar??"

"That's right, an ancient altar! Since it can summon beings like the Old Gods, the ancient altar must be able to cross realms."

Once the coordinates are marked for the Star God and the gate to the world is opened for Him, He can come over on His own!

After all, he was a deity who had mastered the secondary laws of gravity; the Star God was known as the 'Cosmic Street Rogue'.

Normally, it's constantly flying, flying in all sorts of ways, darting around.

"Moreover, I have something here that can serve as a positioning device."

Li Xia patted his chest, where the God-Enemy Armor, with the 'Star God Core' as its carrier, was located.

"Holy crap, awesome!"

"Meow! (Woof!)"

The three little ones were so excited they even started trembling. How the hell did they come up with that idea?!
"It's not over yet. Our allies are not just the Stone Golems and the Star Gods."

Li Xia's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Under the great feat of slaying the god, it was as if he had transformed all his accumulated experience at the third level into his own strength at this moment.

To achieve this 'absolutely impossible' goal.

"besides??"

"Hmm, a second-tier advancement battle, Demon Prison Star!"

Li Xia said very seriously:
"Demon Prison Star is also a world corrupted by the whispers of the Old Gods. Although it was merely the gaze cast upon by the Old Gods, Demon Prison Star was only at the second tier at the time, and the difference in tiers led to tragic consequences."

But the Holy King, carrying the world's most powerful energy source, delivered a final blow with his own life, which halted the corruption.

Do you remember those monsters we encountered back then?
The monsters transformed from the seven titled arcane mages displayed immense killing intent when the Old Gods reappeared after our successful ascension.

The scene from before immediately flashed before Aowu and Heitan's eyes: a huge crack had appeared in the sky, and a giant eye was turning inside the crack.

Several monsters roared to the sky and frantically swung their weapons at the giant eye.

Aowu's eyes also lit up:

"What's even more amazing is that Demon Prison Star is now at Tier 3! That means those monsters that were limited by the world's tier and stuck at the peak of Tier 2 are now very likely at the peak of Tier 3?"

"Meow meow meow meow!!"

The calamity of the heart-scorching one led seven powerful warriors to defeat the darkness, and Li Xia also led seven titled arcane mages to fight against the incarnation of the old god.

After savoring it for a while, Aowu and Heitan actually tasted a peculiar flavor, almost like destiny.

"What should we do about that Demon Prison Star—"

Li Xia silently took out something and placed it on the ground, then took out a stack of papers and placed them next to her.

"The Meyer Grail???"

The rough wooden cup emitted a faint orange glow.

Meyer's Holy Grail

[Grade: Light Orange]

【Category: Ritual Object/Original Item】 【Origin: Demon Prison Star】

[Durability: 65/200]

【Ritual Grail: Can serve as a ritual object, carrying the power of rituals】

Limited to rituals involving sacrifice, blessing, summoning, and transformation.
[Origin Artifact: When performing the ritual, a small chance of transcendence will be created.]

[Introduction: This simple wooden cup was created in the ancient times of Demon Prison Star and has witnessed the development of Demon Prison Star. It has long existed alongside Demon Prison Star.]

"Grass!!"

There is nothing more suitable for the ritual than the Meyer Grail, especially since Aowu saw the stack of papers next to the Grail again, and he didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

Because that stack of papers was the research result of Gerald, the dean of the University of Ace, during the World War.

【Boundary Nail Embedded Legal Array】

[Type: One-time consumable item]

[Grade: Blue]

[Usage Requirements: Special Corrupting Power, Beacon]

[Effect: Upon activation, it will deploy an extremely narrow protective barrier and break through the boundary barrier to reach the beacon's location.]

[Introduction: This magic circle is the result of Gerald's meticulous research after he was corrupted, and he hopes to use it to break through the barrier to 'heaven'.]

And he offered sacrifices to the 'great being' in his mind.

"This is fucking..."

Xiao Long's eyes scanned back and forth between the various objects on the ground.

Surprisingly, it's possible to achieve the expected goals using various methods.

Just like the life-and-death struggles of the first three stages, all the hardships and obstacles accumulated have now turned into help in this moment when facing the old god.

It's as if the Old Gods were destined to confront the boss at this moment.

"The problem now is—"

Li Xia's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he hadn't finished speaking.

The three little ones then cried out in unison.

"Boss, oh my god! (Meow! Woof!)"

To achieve the strongest penetration effect, the teleportation array Gerald developed uses a cone-shaped, very small teleportation space.

Even transmitting the message to a child would be a bit difficult, but it wasn't hard for the three little ones. They were already quite small, especially Aowu and Black Charcoal, one of them could shrink into a dragon egg, and the other could also shrink into a dragon egg.

"it is good!"

Li Xia wasn't being coy. Even though it was a very dangerous thing, who hadn't faced danger at every moment since entering the hall?
"My priority is self-preservation. If they are willing, I will use the Meyer Grail as the core to open a passage."

That's absolutely possible, because the Holy Mother of the Church of the Night, who was on Demon Prison Star, also came here.

Li Xia even suspected that, based on mystical principles, the world bubble where Demon Prison Star was located was gradually approaching the world bubble of Black Descending Star because it was also corrupted by this ancient god.

"No problem, just wait for us to ride on auspicious clouds—no, I mean, for the seven arcane mages to stage our triumphant return, boss!"

The three heartbroken individuals stared longingly at Li Xia and the three little ones, who sat together with unusually rich expressions on their faces but remained silent.

Even Collins was drawn in, his dark eyes fixed on the scene.

"Xia? Xia?"

Victor couldn't hold back any longer and leaned closer to ask in a low voice.

Li Xia raised her head and nodded slightly to him:
"We've reached a pretty good understanding and are ready to begin. However, even if you're willing to offer your own world, the other party might not agree."

We can only try it first.

The three members of the Burning Heart Trio looked slightly gloomy, but they forced themselves to cheer up once again.

At least there is hope, which is better than no hope at all.

"Let's try somewhere else."

The ancient altar could not be opened rashly, so Li Xia and the three little ones decided to try to communicate with the Star God using the 'Classic Sacrifice Summoning Array' first.

This kind of magic array belongs to the foundation of the 'basic principles of formations', and every apostle who aspires to go further will learn all kinds of knowledge.

Just like Li Xia needed to learn the basic application and expression of energy in order to practice sword energy.

To travel through space, one must also understand complex theories such as basic space equations and phase space calculations.

The Apostle Points were almost entirely used to build these theoretical models.

Outside Emmentus, the monsters there were wiped out by the tireless Collins.

Li Xia led the three little ones to draw a complex array on the ground. After confirming that there were no problems, he nodded to Heitan.

The kitten's eyes lit up, and it suddenly slammed down the drumstick in its hand.

'Boom! '

The sound of the stone drums rang out, and a roaring dragon soared into the sky, its cry echoing across the heavens, chanting ancient songs:

"The fingerprints on the rock paintings are still warm."

Moss gnaws at the stone bed that guards the night.

Your vine bag is filled with stardust and morning dew.

To Victor's astonishment, the magic circle suddenly lit up, and a beam of light shot into the sky.

The howling song grew louder and louder:
"Stars fall on your empty stone bed"

"The children of the tribe are counting light-years."

"Wait until the wildfires once again set the sky ablaze."

You will raise a new dawn from the ashes.

"We are children of the stars."

The pillar of light grew stronger. In the distance, in Edmunds, the Virgin Mary stood atop a tall tower, her gaze towards the pillar of light filled with malice and resentment.

Beneath the tower lay the monsters she had gathered with all her might out of fear, along with the last remaining followers of the Dark Church.

The tower was filled with countless monsters, as if a dark curtain had been drawn over the surrounding area.

Basic sacrificial arrays are often used by some churches to worship their gods. They only have the function of communication, and the simple information exchange is countless times simpler than physical travel, just like making a phone call to someone you want to contact.

The beam of light trembled for a while before finally calming down.

Meanwhile, Li Xia heard a muffled divine thought, seemingly traversing eternity and carrying endless weariness:
Who is it?

Before Li Xia could answer, the Star God's divine sense became slightly more invigorated:
"It is the traveler who awakens me."

Li Xia also conveyed his divine sense to the other party:

"I have encountered an Old God and would like to ask you for help."

The Star God suddenly fell silent. Li Xia took a deep breath, preparing to fully present the conditions he could offer and his battle strategy, hoping to persuade the Star God as much as possible.

But before he could speak, the Star God's divine thought resounded once more:
"it is good!"

Li Xia raised his eyebrows high, surprised that things went so smoothly, but after thinking for a moment, he continued:
"Thank you for defeating the Old God. I can provide you with—"

"Do not."

The Star God's divine sense remained profound, yet it carried a hint of pride:
“My children say they are willing to fight for you, just as you were willing to fight for them.”

No matter what we face, no matter who the enemy is.

No compensation is required, that's all.
