Chapter 1306: Divine Fire

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Li now found another use for the Moonlight Staff, and that was for burning. Shrouded in the flames of the power of faith, even the Moonlight Staff, which represented the supreme authority of the High Elves, barely lasted a few seconds before it was burned down and shattered with a bang in the blink of an eye. With the shattering of the Moonlight Staff, a pure and massive wave of power surged into Lin Li’s sea of mental strength like a flood, causing the total amount of his mental strength to increase by an obvious amount too.

Lin Li was truly making a desperate gamble now by putting everything, even his own life, on the line. If he couldn’t defeat Geresco, both his life and soul would perish, and if that were to happen, it would be pointless to leave those things behind!

The Ring of Endless Storm was almost empty. Apart from insignificant items, all the things that were considered treasures in Anril, be it magic materials or magic equipment, were added to the flames of the power of faith. Even the ring made of the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant, which Lin Li was wearing on his hand, and the Helios’ Scepter that he had been using, were also burned away by the power of faith.

The Helios’ Scepter could be said to have accompanied Lin Li through many battles. Even though Lin Li now had powerful weapons like the Stars of Fury and debris of the stars, and no longer relied heavily on the Helios’ Scepter, he still had some emotional attachment to it.

However, Lin Li didn’t have the luxury to preserve these emotional ties and attachments at this juncture. Now that even his life was in danger, he obviously didn’t have time or capacity to bother with this..

However, the thing that truly provided great help to Lin Li was still the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant, which had an incredible effect of allowing the wearer’s mental strength to be enhanced. Now that it was directly burned by the flames of the power of faith, the huge mental strength contained in it was also released in one go. It was actually no less than even the mental strength provided by that Moonlight Staff.

“You actually burned the power of faith? At this rate, how long will you be able to sustain this even if you can defeat me?” Geresco looked at Lin Li indifferently, watching him make his final struggle to survive.

At this moment, Lin Li could no longer hear anything, and the only thought left in his mind was to defeat Geresco. Thus, he didn’t respond to Geresco’s words at all, and instead raised his arm, which was shrouded in the fire of faith, and pointed the Stars of Fury at Geresco with difficulty and great determination.

Under the burning of the fire of faith, even the ancient touch and vicissitudes of the Stars of Fury faded away, revealing a silvery-white holy power that covered its surface. Under Lin Li’s manipulation, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars hovering around the Stars of Fury also began to fall into the Stars of Fury one by one…

The Stars of Fury was once again filled with six pieces of the debris of the stars, finally becoming the key deciding factor of the outcome. Lin Li had given up so much just for the sake of achieving his goal of launching all seven pieces of the debris of the stars in unison. If he still couldn’t load all seven pieces, all of his previous efforts would go in vain.

I’ve given all that I have, I will add Nothingness now! Lin Li screamed in his head, and used the fire of faith to ignite his entire soul, setting off a massive storm in his ocean of mental strength. Under Lin Li’s manipulation, the seventh and most crucial piece of debris of the stars, Nothingness, drifted slowly towards the Stars of Fury.

Watching Lin Li’s efforts and actions during his last struggle, Geresco couldn’t help but frown. As an opponent, he naturally couldn’t watch Lin Li accomplish this smoothly. He raised his hands to his chest, and quickly made several magic hand gestures, after which the countless Chains of Law that had been forced back by the Fire of Faith erupted again with an extremely bright and dazzling light of laws. He then launched yet another attack at Lin Li and the City of Destruction.

The Fire of Faith could initially burn almost everything in this world, but Geresco was already a god of gods whose strength had exceeded that of Lin Li well by several folds, after all. With such a great disparity in strength, many things couldn’t be measured according to common sense. For example, while water could put out fire, a large fire was going to evaporate a smaller volume of water.

Hence, despite the fact that the massive wave formed by the Chains of Law, which was enough to cover the sky, was blocked by the Fire of Faith engulfing the exterior of the City of Destruction, it still pushed continuously with an enormous amount of power. It began closing in on Lin Li, as if it were trying to extinguish the Fire of Faith.

However, Lin Li seemed not to pay any attention to that situation at all as he was covered in flames, and no longer seemed to be in human form. However, he was still persisting, determined to load the last piece of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, into the Stars of Fury while controlling it a little.

Regardless of the outcome, he would let everything end completely in this moment!

Finally, the last piece of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, was loaded into the Stars of Fury. Immediately afterwards, the Stars of Fury vibrated, and almost flew away from Lin Li’s hand’s as a brilliant ray of light appeared from Nothingness, completely condensing on the Stars of Fury.

The phantoms of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were gradually revealed above the Stars of Fury one by one. Rebirth represented the Law of Earth, Polar Snow represented the Law of Water, Raging Flames represented the Law of Fire, Thunderbolt represented the Law of Wind1, Holy Light represented the Law of Light, Gloomy Dark represented the Law of Darkness, and Nothingness represented the Law of Chaos of Time and Space.

The phantoms of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars fused into one in mid-air, and fell once again on top of the Stars of Fury. Rays of light erupted from the Stars of Fury, and that power even forced the surrounding Fire of Faith away, revealing Lin Li’s figure in the Fire of Faith once again.

However, at this moment, Lin Li’s appearance was no longer like that of a human, and he looked just like a melting snowman instead. However, the hand that he had been holding the Stars of Fury remained intact, and his fingers were gripped tightly around the crossbow mechanism of the Stars of Fury as he gently pressed it downwards.

Boom!

A vigorous storm was set off in the void, as if it had truly become a realm of nothingness that was devoid of any existence. A resplendent pillar of light darted out from the front of the Stars of Fury, and everything in the void was frozen at this moment, be it the flames of the dancing Fire of Faith or the Chains of Laws that were being burned.

Faced with the strike of the Stars of Fury, even Geresco, the so-called god of gods, seemed to have frozen in place as he could only watch the light of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars charge towards him.

There was only a light thud, without the roar of a violent collision. The Chains of Law and the barriers of the Divine Kingdom of Law were all as fragile as paper in the face of the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. The light of the debris of the stars pierced through the giant wave of countless Chains of Law, followed by the barrier of the Divine Kingdom of Law, and finally through the body of Geresco, who was sitting high on the Divine Throne of Law!

When the light dissipated, time seemed to have begun to flow again. Half-kneeling on the terrace of the Omniscient Tower, Lin Li raised his head to look at Geresco, who was far away. The Chains of Law that filled the entire space burst into a cloud of flying ashes without the slightest tremor, and Geresco’s Divine Kingdom of Law seemed to be facing its doomsday as it began to crumble and collapse in large portions at a time.

Geresco slowly stood up from the collapsed throne with an ordinary-looking wound on his chest, resembling a hole left behind on an ordinary person who got shot by an arrow. However, golden divine blood gushed out of the wound incessantly, and trickled all the way to his feet before turning into a golden power that dispersed and scattered everywhere.

Did I win? Although Lin Li had put everything he had on the line to make the seven pieces of the debris of the stars shoot in unison, Geresco’s appearance still seemed surreal to him at this moment.

At this juncture, a faint smile appeared on Geresco’s face, and it was pure and without any extra meaning.

“You’ve won. This is my last lesson for you! I hope that one day, you will be able to show me what kind of existence exists outside of this supreme law!” Geresco said indifferently without the slightest trace of dejection or frustration due to his defeat. It was as if everything was normal.

However, at this point, Lin Li could barely react as his body and soul were already on the verge of collapsing under the burning of the Fire of Faith. Lin Li did not know why Geresco said that. In fact, as long as Geresco held on a little longer, Lin Li might just die on his own.

However, Geresco did not do that or continue to compete with Lin Li to see who could persist till the end. He covered his mouth with his hand, and coughed lightly while shifting his gaze to the distant Anril. However, his body began to crumble at this moment like a sand sculpture, turning by layers into golden powder that floated towards the depths of the void.

Next, a sphere of light darted out from Geresco’s body, and came close to Lin Li immediately before sinking into his flesh. As the light entered Lin Li’s body, which had been burned beyond recognition by the Fire of Faith, the latter recovered rapidly as if time was passing in reverse.

After some time, Lin Li finally stood up. Both his body and soul were damaged, and he could already clearly sense that his soul seemed to have gone through an indescribable change.

Could this be what Geresco meant by making up for the flaws? Lin Li looked at the spot where Geresco was at previously, only to realize that it was already empty. Geresco’s Divine Kingdom of Law was no longer around, and it was as if everything had never existed.

Lin Li recalled Geresco’s last words, and felt that they didn’t seem to be something that someone should be saying after getting defeated. There was no regret or indignation in his voice, but rather a heartened relief.

This is the last lesson I’m going to teach you!

Lin Li felt as if Geresco’s voice had rung in his ears again, and he couldn’t help but have a change in perception. When he found out all the answers at first, Geresco seemed like a lunatic who could sacrifice everything in order to break through the supreme law.

Although Geresco was undeniably still the same reckless madman who would do anything to break through the supreme law, Lin Li no longer had any resentment towards him. In his heart, there was even a trace of pity, though there was probably no one who had the right to take pity on Geresco’s life.

Now that I can make up for the flaws, can I finally take that final step, and ignite the Divine Fire to become an indestructible god? Lin Li asked himself after sighing for a moment.

At that moment, Lin Li suddenly discovered that deep within his soul, a faint wisp of fire, which seemed to be the legendary Divine Fire, was pulsating faintly. At this moment, a message from Geresco seemed to have appeared in his mind, allowing him to understand exactly how to take that step.

Standing on the terrace of the Omniscient Tower, Lin Li turned to face the City of Destruction, which was being burned by the Fire of Faith, and spread his mental strength out with open arms. In an instant, the Fire of Faith in the City of Destruction broke away from the buildings, and surged towards Lin Li like a flock of birds returning to their nest, seemingly attracted to him.

In fact, the burning of the power of faith was very closely related to the ignition of the Divine Fire. If Lin Li’s soul had been flawless, the Divine Fire would have probably been ignited the moment the power of faith had started burning. Now that Lin Li had made up for the flaws, and even generated a wisp of Divine Fire in the depths of his soul, the next thing he had to do was to use the power of faith to continuously grow the Divine Fire.

As Lin Li summoned, all of the Fire of Faith was absorbed into his body and integrated into the original wisp of Divine Fire seedling, after which it gradually began to grow larger. It grew into the size of a candle flame before quickly becoming a torch that was continuously growing and expanding.

While the Divine Fire grew, it started to temper Lin Li’s soul and body, burning away the impurities in his soul, and leaving behind only the purest essence. His body gradually became as crystalline and pure as crystal, while his soul also became ethereal and devoid of a trace of impurity.

Lin Li’s Domain World, too, gradually began to solidify, turning from illusory to real. His Domain World also started to become a true Divine Kingdom. All of the beings in the original Domain World who were constantly praying to Lin Li felt the calling of a god, and began to pray devoutly, giving rise to a large amount of power of faith that condensed on the god statues of Lin Li.

At the same time, those who were fighting against the invaders from the spatial rifts in Anril and those who had pinned their hopes on Lin Li also had a strange feeling at this moment. The wounds they had sustained and the power they had lost were actually restored at this moment.

This is a miracle. It’s a miracle! Even though they didn’t know that Lin Li and Geresco had been fighting in the Endless Void, and that Lin Li had stepped onto the Divine Throne to become a truly indestructible god of this world, they could somehow feel that it all seemed to be related to Lin Li, President Felic of the Tower of Dusk, whom they had pinned their hopes on.

Lin Li finally opened his eyes, raised his hand, and waved it downward gently. Next, the City of Destruction, which had been destroyed and nearly collapsed during the battle, surprisingly recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The Twin Trees of Eternity, which had almost completely withered, also came back to life. In the blink of an eye, they became leafy and much lusher than before.

Is this the power of the gods? Looking at the changes in front of him, Lin Li truly gained an understanding of the power of creation that the gods had.

Hey, what’s that? Lin Li was just about to go on to deal with the affairs of Anril when he suddenly noticed that one of the Twin Trees of Eternity, which had undergone a reversal of life and death, seemed to have undergone some changes. There was a fruit hanging on a lone branch in the center of the crown of the tree, and it emitted an aura that seemed new but somewhat familiar to Lin Li.
