The whirlpool that had been spinning for thousands of years suddenly sped up under the light of the Moonlight Staff. At the same time, a star shone in the center of the whirlpool, like a twinkling star in the pitch-black night sky. However, the light of the star gradually became stronger, as if something was emerging from the bottom of the large vortex.
"Stars of Fury, I finally see you again!" Lin Li had already acutely sensed the aura of the Stars of Fury from the star, and he was sure that what he was going to see this time was definitely not something condensed by mana.
The star became brighter and brighter until it flew out of the center of the large vortex like a bolt of lightning. It floated quietly in front of Lin Li and rotated slowly like a display.
Seeing the Stars of Fury that he had been searching for for a long time floating in front of him, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little excited even with his current realm. This was the Stars of Fury, and only with it could he truly exert the full power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Only the combination of the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars would be the real supreme artifact that could kill demons and gods.
Looking at the slowly rotating Stars of Fury in front of him, Lin Li's body couldn't help but tremble with excitement. He carefully raised his hand towards the Stars of Fury, as if he was afraid of scaring it away.
The seven pieces of the debris of the stars also appeared in the void around Lin Li, and revolved around him a few times like satellites. Next, they turned into streams of light and flew towards the Stars of Fury that Lin Li had already grasped in his hand. As soon as they came into contact, they turned into sharp arrows that were nocked on top of the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars.
With the Stars of Fury in hand, the uneasiness in Lin Li's heart immediately disappeared. With the power of the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars, he already had considerable confidence in facing any possible situation. The spatial rifts, the prehistoric magical beasts, and even the powerful Titans were almost no longer a threat to him.
At that moment, a black spot appeared in the sky corresponding to the huge whirlpool. Like a drop of ink in water, it spread rapidly and dyed a large patch of the sky black in the blink of an eye. Then, as if responding to the vortex on the ground, the sky that was dyed black also began to spin slowly, forming a huge inverted vortex.
Seeing such a change, Lin Li suppressed the agitation in his heart, held the Stars of Fury tightly, and waited quietly with his head raised. One of the reasons he had come to the Great Maelstrom was to obtain the Stars of Fury, but another reason was that this place was also the location of the largest spatial rift in this calamity.
Besides, according to what High Priest Rogge had said back then, there was a terrifying existence hidden in the big crack that could truly destroy the world. Compared to this terrifying existence, the prehistoric magical beasts and Titans were like cannon fodder charging at the forefront of a war.
Standing on the balcony of the Omniscient Tower, Lin Li waited quietly while the Stars of Fury flickered in his hand. The brilliance of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars flowed and blended into a gorgeous brilliance.
The sky curtain of the City of Destruction opened, and the World of Life and Death of the Eternal Twin Trees enveloped the entire city. All the Magical Crystal Cannons, Sky-breakers, and other offensive weapons also began to charge. There was no one else in the City of Destruction except Lin Li at this time. All the attacks and defenses were taken over by Azardas' soul.
The phantom of the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas, appeared in the sky above the City of Destruction. Like Lin Li, he looked at the black vortex above his head and let out a silent roar.
Finally, a glowing figure slowly walked out from the black whirlpool. However, that figure was far too small compared to the whirlpool. It was not as shocking as those massive prehistoric Magical Beasts.
However, with the appearance of this figure, the light on his body gradually lit up the surroundings, as if a sun had appeared in the middle of the huge black vortex. Under the illumination of the light, the huge black vortex also seemed to have stopped spinning, and gradually became transparent and thin.
When the figure gradually walked towards him, Lin Li frowned tightly, and looked at the other party with strong suspicion in his eyes. The veins on the hand that was holding the Stars of Fury were bulging, and his joints were white. It seemed that he was trying hard to suppress the emotions in his heart.
When the figure stopped not far away, Lin Li finally adjusted his emotions, and said in a low voice, "Should I call you Geresco, or Immortal King?"
Lin Li did not expect that the person who appeared in front of him was Geresco, who had guided him all the way. In fact, in terms of inheritance, Geresco could even be considered his teacher. After all, all the knowledge of magic that he had learned was closely related to Geresco.
Looking at the figure in front of him, Lin Li was very sure that he was definitely not seeing a projection clone this time, but an extremely real God of Mages. However, Lin Li did not directly address the other party as Geresco, and instead asked such a question. It was a question that would be unbelievable to others if they heard it.
However, Lin Li, who had always been puzzled about the relationship between the Immortal King and Geresco, suddenly thought of a very unbelievable guess at this time.
Lin Li thought of the Immortal King's message when he defeated the Hunter's Incarnation in the Well of the Sun, saying that he was looking forward to meeting him in the Great Maelstrom. However, the person who appeared now was Geresco.
Although Geresco's incarnation said that he was returning a favor on behalf of someone in the tower under the Cursed Island, that seemed to separate the Immortal King from Geresco. However, Lin Li still remembered that when the other party introduced himself, he had mentioned that he was Geresco from some time ago. This introduction was a little strange. Since he was Geresco from some time ago, who was he before that?
Hence, at this time, after seeing the real Geresco, Lin Li asked such an absurd question.
"I used to be the Immortal King, and now I am Geresco. You can just call me Geresco. Take the name Immortal King as a piece of history," Geresco answered casually. Geresco replied nonchalantly. Obviously, he did not care about this question at all. After all, at his current level, it did not matter what his identity was.
However, after hearing Geresco's answer with his own ears, Lin Li could not stay calm anymore. There were too many legends about the Immortal King and Geresco in Anril, but no one had ever thought that the two were the same person. The Immortal King created the High Elves Dynasty, while Geresco led the rebellion army and overthrew the High Elves' rule. It was as if he had destroyed his own achievements with his own hands.
However, considering Geresco's level, Lin Li felt that it was understandable. Be it the Immortal King or Geresco, they were already existences like the gods of the gods. To them, the High Elves were probably just a plaything. Besides, it was not just the High Elves. Humans, other intelligent races, and even all living beings were just like ants in Geresco's eyes.
Now, Lin Li could not help but think of Geresco for this apocalyptic disaster to Anril. Could it be that this was also the result of Geresco's intentional manipulation, just like the overthrow of the High Elves?
Lin Li's thoughts were not exaggerated. The Tree of Eternity was pushed down by Geresco, and the imbalance of the Laws of Anril was also caused by the fall of the Tree of Eternity. With Geresco's strength, Lin Li did not believe that he really had to destroy the Tree of Eternity in order to destroy the High Elves. Hence, Geresco's actions were worth thinking about.
"Alright, Geresco, can you tell me now, what exactly do you want?" Lin Li had once asked this question thousands of times in his heart. He wanted to know what Geresco was doing all of this for. Now, after knowing the relationship between the Immortal King and Geresco, he was even more eager to know the answer to this question.
At this moment, Geresco was already standing at the top of the world, and even the gods had to worship him. Lin Li really could not figure out what Geresco, who had already achieved so much, was not satisfied with. Was it just to play a game?
To be honest, this conjecture was not pleasant at all. Although there was not much difference between being a pawn and a plaything in essence, being a pawn at least represented a meaning of existence, while being a plaything was too disgusting. In particular, Lin Li did not even want to be someone else's pawn. How could he accept the identity of a plaything?
Upon hearing Lin Li's question, a smile appeared on Geresco's face. He looked at Lin Li calmly, and asked, "Do you think that I should be satisfied with my current achievements?"
Lin Li froze for a moment, and frowned as he sized Geresco up. He said, "Judging from the means you used to suppress the gods, it's hard for you to find an opponent. Aren't endless lifespan and powerful abilities enough to satisfy you?"
"Gods? They're just a bunch of ants under the Supreme Laws! " Geresco's tone was full of disdain for the gods, but at the same time, he seemed to be disappointed with Lin Li. He said, "Under the Supreme Laws, even I am just a slightly stronger ant. Wouldn't I be too ignorant if I were to be complacent about my achievements?"
"Supreme Laws?" It was the first time Lin Li had heard of such a thing.
Everyone knew that this world was made up of various laws, which could be summed up to the four elemental laws of earth, fire, water, and wind, as well as the three basic laws of light, darkness, and chaos. Other laws such as ice, thunder, rain, plants, and life were all derived from these seven laws.
In that case, what was the Supreme Law? In order for a Sanctuary powerhouse to ascend to the position of a god, he had to break free from the restraints of the seven laws and become a great existence that jumped out of this world. However, now that Geresco had clearly become a god among the gods, he had proposed another Supreme Law.
"In the words of your world, the Supreme Law might be called the Heavenly Dao. Do you understand now? Even the gods would not be able to obtain true freedom and true immortality under the Supreme Law of the Heavenly Dao. What I want is to break this Supreme Law, and I call that existence the Realm of Nothingness. It's unrestrained and eternal! " At this point, there was even a hint of fanaticism in Geresco's eyes, as if the goal that he had been pursuing for tens of thousands of years was already right in front of him.
After hearing Geresco's explanation, Lin Li couldn't help but be surprised by the other party's craziness. At the same time, he was filled with doubts about this so-called Realm of Nothingness.
What was the true Nothingness? If it could be explained, it probably wouldn't be called Nothingness. It was just like the void of the universe. Without light, it would be darkness, and without temperature, it would be extreme cold. However, was darkness Nothingness, and was extreme cold Nothingness? Perhaps darkness and extreme cold were the embodiment of a kind of law. In that case, what kind of existence was there beyond that?
In the world of the game, the gods were supreme existences, but they were still bound by the rules of the game world. However, after jumping out of the game world, wouldn't it be another world? Was there a pair of eyes peering into the so-called real world, and there might be another existence behind that person?
That seemed to be an unsolvable problem! Lin Li couldn't figure it out, and had no choice but to stop thinking about it. He looked at Geresco, and said, "How do you know that there are no higher laws other than your so-called supreme laws?"
Geresco smiled, and looked into the distance as if he was overlooking the entire Anril. After a while, he said, "I know what you're thinking. In fact, it's precisely because I've been to your game world that I know that it's just a plaything of another world. Hence, I really want to know if I'm still just a plaything of a higher existence. As for your question, does it matter if there is a higher law? If there is, then break it again! "
Geresco's tone was very calm at the beginning, but in the end, Lin Li finally experienced the courage that belonged to the God of Mages to explore everything, as well as the dominance of breaking all laws. Wasn't that the path of a mage? Borrowing the power of the laws, manipulating the power of the laws, and breaking the power of the laws? That was probably the fundamental reason why Geresco could have such achievements.
Although he felt that Geresco's appearance was probably not just to answer his questions, Lin Li was still in awe of Geresco's spirit.
However, although Lin Li was in awe, he didn't forget about his own matters. Instead, he asked, "In that case, what does the goal you're pursuing have to do with me? Why did you drag me into this world? Don't talk about returning a favor. Even you won't believe this reason."
