Finally, the Origin of Rules left behind by the ancient God of Chaos fell into Lin Li's hands. It was a ball of light that looked similar to Chaos. Just like before, Lin Li immediately permeated it with his mental strength, and did a detailed examination of the Origin of Chaos before storing it in the Ring of Endless Storm.
After Lin Li did this, he felt his vision blur, and the scene in the space suddenly changed. There were no new ancient gods appearing, and the surroundings suddenly became the study that he had stepped into in the first place.
Look, I've finally passed the test! Lin Li was instantly delighted. Passing the test meant that he could see the back of that figure, and get the answers to his questions.
However, Lin Li immediately realized that something was wrong. The furnishings in this study looked brand new, and there were no traces of thousands of years of wear and tear. Although there were some magic spells that could extend the lifespan of some items, the traces of the passage of time could not be erased.
Just as Lin Li was feeling puzzled, a sudden warning rose in his heart, and then he felt a terrifying force attacking him.
Thunderbolt! After Lin Li saw clearly what was attacking him, he was even more shocked. He was very sure that the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were in his hands, so what was this thunderbolt that was attacking him?
Fortunately, Lin Li did not let his guard down even when he was here, and was able to react in time under the most powerful attack of the thunderbolt. The Space Robe that he was wearing suddenly flashed, and when his figure appeared again, he was already in another position in the study.
"It's not that easy to get back my weapon …"
Just as Lin Li flashed, the same voice as before rang in his mind again. Along with this voice, the study that was originally not very big became infinitely wide as if it was inflated. The rows of bookshelves that were originally very close to each other quickly enlarged and flew into the distance. Next, a figure seemed to walk out of an illusion, and appeared not far in front of him.
"Geresco!" Lin Li could not help but call out. The figure that appeared in front of him turned out to be the God of Mages Geresco who had trained him strictly countless times on the first floor of the inverted tower.
However, although Geresco was still wearing a mage's robe, he was holding the Stars of Fury that Lin Li had been dreaming of. At the same time, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were also revolving around Geresco's body like satellites.
Lin Li thought of Geresco when he saw Lin Li's back when he was outside the study. Hence, the appearance of Geresco's incarnation did not surprise Lin Li much. However, he could not understand why the Stars of Fury had appeared in Geresco's hands.
According to the legends of Anril and the information he had obtained from various sources, Lin Li was certain that the Stars of Fury and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were once the weapons of the Immortal King. Although Lin Li could be sure that the Stars of Fury were still just condensed mana, it was beyond his expectations that it would appear in Geresco's hands.
Could it be that the relationship between Geresco and the Immortal King was the same as the one between Lin Li and Immortal King? Was it a historical relationship that they would never meet? Lin Li could not help but think of a possibility. According to the history of Anril, it seemed that Geresco was only born in the Felan Kingdom after the disappearance of the Immortal King. Hence, Geresco definitely could not have become the disciple of the Immortal King like Highlord Osric. In that case, there was only one possibility left. Geresco should have obtained the inheritance of the Immortal King through some kind of opportunity, such as the Sky Castle or the place where the gods were suppressed.
If Lin Li could still explain the relationship between Geresco and the Immortal King with such a conjecture, what puzzled him the most was Geresco's words. What did he mean by getting back my weapon? Wasn't the Stars of Fury the Immortal King's weapon in this world!? The time when he really owned the Stars of Fury was in the Endless World, and it was in the hands of his main Hunter account. Could it be that Geresco knew about what happened before he transmigrated?
Transmigration was Lin Li's biggest secret after he came to this world, and he had never mentioned it to anyone. Geresco, the God of Mages, was already a person from more than a thousand years ago, and had no interaction with Lin Li at all. How could he know about Lin Li's transmigration?
Or was it just a slip of the tongue? Lin Li really couldn't figure it out, and could only attribute his doubts to this reason. Anyway, no matter what, he did want to get the Stars of Fury and make it his weapon in this world. Hence, there was nothing wrong with Geresco's explanation.
However, Lin Li soon couldn't be bothered to think about this problem, because Geresco's incarnation had already raised the Stars of Fury at him.
Damn it! The Stars of Fury combined with the debris of the stars could even kill the Dragon of Destruction! Lin Li immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and could no longer care about the doubts in his mind. He hurriedly focused on controlling the seven pieces of the debris of the stars.
Although the Stars of Fury in Geresco's hands was not real, Lin Li was very clear that the Stars of Fury condensed with mana would not be inferior to the real thing for a powerhouse of this level. Lin Li had seen such a method more than once. Initially, it was used in the Seven-Realm Spiral of the Sky Castle, and later on by the Hunter's incarnation in the Well of the Sun. Hence, Lin Li did not dare to underestimate the Stars of Fury in Geresco's hands.
At this moment, Geresco finally pulled the trigger of the Stars of Fury, and Polar Snow, which had long been placed on the bow, instantly flew towards Lin Li.
The power of the debris of the stars, Polar Snow, which was driven by the Stars of Fury, was far greater than when Lin Li controlled Polar Snow. After the Polar Snow left the Stars of Fury, it shot towards Lin Li in the form of a sharp arrow, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to absolute zero. Silver ice crystals formed all over the place, and even the entire space was frozen to the point that cracks were everywhere.
From Lin Li's point of view, it looked like a huge silver wave was surging towards him as if it was sweeping through the world. Polar Snow was in the center of the silver wave, and it shot towards him with the terrifying power of freezing everything like a vanguard.
Based on his understanding of the debris of the stars, Polar Snow, Lin Li had no doubt that even the gods would be drowned by the silver wave, and even the sturdy Divine Kingdom would be frozen into powder. As for himself, a high-level Sanctuary-realm like him, he probably wouldn't even be able to hold on for a second before blacking out.
Polar Snow, Raging Flames! Lin Li directly activated his two pieces of the debris of the stars. Polar Snow did not emit extreme coldness, and instead turned into a huge wave that surged towards Geresco. The flames that erupted from Raging Flames were attached to the huge wave, making it look like a burning sea of fire.
Without the Stars of Fury, Lin Li did not have the slightest confidence in going against Geresco's Polar Snow. Hence, in the face of Geresco's attack, he added Raging Flames on top of Polar Snow, combining the power of ice and fire.
Ice and fire were two forces that seemed to be irreconcilable to others, but in fact, it was easier to combine them than light and darkness. When Lin Li first obtained Polar Snow and Raging Flames, the power of the two pieces of the debris of the stars had even formed a Fire and Water Domain. Lin Li's current combination was based on the structure of the Laws that he had comprehended from the Fire and Water Domain.
In the blink of an eye, the silver wave formed by Geresco's Polar Snow collided with the Sea of Flames formed by Lin Li's Polar Snow and Raging Flames. The silver waves surged with the power to freeze everything, while the sea of flames that burned the sky emitted scorching heat also contained the power of water that could erode everything.
The collision of the two forces did not cause much of a shocking movement, but anyone with eyes could see the intense battle between the silver and the fiery red. The extreme coldness emitted by the huge silver wave froze the flames. However, the blazing heat of the Burning Heaven Sea of Fire engulfed the silver wave in flames, as though it was plated with a layer of fiery red color.
If Lin Li had only used the power of Raging Flames, the sea of flames would probably have turned into an ice field. It was precisely because of the power of Polar Snow as a buffer that the power of Raging Flames could be maximized, allowing it to compete with Polar Snow that was driven by the Stars of Fury.
At the place where the two forces collided, the sound of cracking could be heard continuously. It was the result of the layers of spatial barriers that could not withstand the erosion of the two forces. In the center of the confrontation between the two forces, almost all matter could not exist, and even the endless void was shattered into countless layers. If someone were to use the Void of the Stars there, they would probably be turned into ashes along with the void that was attached to them.
Using the power of the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Polar Snow and Raging Flames, to resist Geresco's Polar Snow that was driven by the Stars of Fury was already an impressive achievement for Lin Li. He had gained a lot from the battle with the ancient gods previously, and his strength had improved. Otherwise, he might not have been able to do that.
However, Lin Li naturally wouldn't be satisfied with that. What he had to do now was to defeat Geresco, who had mastered the Stars of Fury, and not just contend with him. Hence, while blocking Polar Snow, Lin Li also raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, after which several pillars of lightning smashed down towards Geresco.
Although it was only a shadow that was holding the Stars of Fury, it was still Geresco's shadow. Of course, that wasn't all he had. After the attack of Polar Snow was blocked, Geresco held the Void Spear in his other hand and slashed it at the sky in the face of the giant pillars of lightning that were falling from the sky. His casual movement immediately caused a crack in the sky above his head, which actually devoured the hundreds and thousands of giant pillars of lightning.
Next, under Geresco's control, the debris of the stars, Rebirth, and Thunderbolt, flew towards the Stars of Fury one after another. The yellow and green rays of light intertwined and turned into two sharp arrows that shot towards Lin Li.
Damn it, isn't he just relying on the Stars of Fury!? Seeing this scene, Lin Li couldn't help but curse in his heart. Driven by the Stars of Fury, even one piece of the debris of the stars would have terrifying power. Now that there were two pieces of the debris of the stars shooting at the same time, it would probably be no problem for them to kill the gods.
However, it was useless to be jealous. Lin Li now had to face the God of Mages who had the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars. Fortunately, Geresco didn't go too far. The strength of the shadow itself wasn't that terrifying, and it was only at the level of a high-level Sanctuary-realm.
Fortunately, Lin Li still had some hope of winning. Otherwise, even if the strength of the shadow was slightly higher, he wouldn't even have to try and give up.
The debris of the stars, Rebirth, contained the nomological power of the earth, and had the power to control the growth of all things. It was the strangest of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. The debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, contained the nomological power of the wind, and had the destructive power of wind and lightning. It was the most powerful of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. The combination of the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Earth and Wind, and Life and Destruction, had far more power than one plus one equals two.
How could he break it!? Lin Li waved the Helios' Scepter, and the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, flew out. He used the power of the two pieces of the debris of the stars to form a Light and Darkness Sword that was nearly 1,000 meters long, and faced the attack of Rebirth and Thunderbolt. At the same time, the debris of the stars, Nothingness, followed closely behind and split into thousands of rays of light that split the space into countless tiny cracks, making it look like a sieve.
The debris of the stars, Nothingness, arrived first, and met the opponent's attack. The countless cracks in the space were like a large group of man-eating ants that devoured the power emitted by Rebirth and Thunderbolt. Immediately afterwards, the Light and Darkness Sword collided with the opponent's attack, and a huge power erupted in an instant. The aftermath that spread even shattered the silver waves and the Burning Sea of Flames, causing the debris of the stars to fly back.
In the center of the collision, a huge spatial vortex was blasted out, devouring every trace of mana in the surroundings like a black hole in the void. Even Lin Li, who was still far away, felt a force pulling him, as if he was going to be pulled into the vortex.
No matter what, he had finally blocked Geresco's attack. That made Lin Li, who didn't have the Stars of Fury, feel a little smug. However, immediately afterwards, he saw that Geresco had put the four pieces of the debris of the stars, Polar Snow, Raging Flames, Rebirth, and Thunderbolt on the Stars of Fury, and his face turned pale.
