Chapter 1301: What Do You Want?

The Great Whirlpool that had been spinning for thousands of years suddenly began to accelerate when it was enveloped by the light of the Moonlight Staff. At the same time, a speck of stardust lit up in the center of the Great Whirlpool, as if there was a twinkling star in the pitch-black sky at night. However, the light was gradually getting more and more intense. It was as if something was emerging from the Great Whirlpool.

“Stars of Fury, I’m finally seeing you again!” Lin Li had already acutely sensed the aura of the Stars of Fury from that speck of starlight, and he was certain that what he was about to see would definitely not be something that was condensed out of mana again.

The speck of starlight became brighter and brighter until it darted out of the center of the Great Whirlpool like a bolt of lightning. It hovered quietly in front of Lin Li, and rotated slowly like it was on display.

Upon sight of the Stars of Fury that he had been searching for such a long time hovering in front of him, Lin Li couldn’t help but feel agitated, even though his strength was already at such a high level. This was the Stars of Fury, which was essential for the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars to be fully exerted: the combination of the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars would form an artifact that could truly destroy the demons and slay the gods.

Looking at the Stars of Fury that was rotating slowly in front of him, Lin Li couldn’t help but tremble in excitement. He raised his hand carefully, and reached towards the Stars of Fury, as if he was afraid of scaring it away..

The seven pieces of the debris of the stars began to appear in the air around Lin Li like satellites before turning into streams of light that flew towards the Stars of Fury that was already in Lin Li’s palm one by one. Upon contact with it, they turned into sharp arrows that began shaking and chirping.

With the Stars of Fury in hand, most of the anxiety and uneasiness in Lin Li’s heart was dispelled. With the power of the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars, he was already confident enough to face any possible situation. The prehistoric magical beasts and Titans in the spatial rifts could no longer pose a threat to him.

At this moment, a black spot suddenly appeared in the spot in the sky that corresponded to the Great Whirlpool, just like a drop of ink in water that spread out rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had already dyed a large patch of the sky, and a huge inverted vortex formed in the sky, seemingly corresponding to the Great Whirlpool on the ground.

Seeing such a change, Lin Li suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and tilted his head while waiting quietly. One of the important reasons for his visit to the Great Whirlpool was to obtain the Stars of Fury. However, another reason was that this was also the spot where the largest spatial rift of the disaster had appeared.

Besides, according to what High Priest Rogge said in the past, a truly terrifying existence that could destroy this world was hidden in the great rift. Compared to this terrifying existence, the prehistoric magical beasts and Titans were just like cannon fodder that was at the frontline of a battle.

Standing on the terrace of the Omniscient Tower, Lin Li waited quietly, while the Stars of Fury in his hand flickered, and the light of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars formed a radiant sight.

The canopy of the City of Destruction opened, and the Realm of Life and Death of the Twin Trees of Eternity enveloped the entire city. All the attack weapons such as Magical Crystal Cannons and Sky-breaker also began charging. At this moment, there was no one else apart from Lin Li at the edge of the City of Destruction, and all the attacks and defenses were taken over by Azardas’ soul.

In the sky above the City of Destruction, the phantom of Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction, surfaced in the sky, and roared when he looked at the black vortex in the sky like Lin Li did.

Finally, a figure emitting light slowly emerged from the black vortex, but it was way too small compared to the vortex. It was far from being as shocking as those large prehistoric magical beasts.

However, with the appearance of this figure, the light on its body gradually illuminated the surroundings, as if a sun was lighting up in the middle of the huge vortex. The vortex also seemed to have stopped rotating around the sun, and gradually became thinner.

When that figure gradually walked towards him, Lin Li frowned, and he looked at the former with great suspicion in his eyes. The veins on the fist that he was holding the Stars of Fury with began bulging, and his knuckles had also turned pale. He seemed to be trying his best to suppress his emotions.

When the figure stopped at a short distance away from Lin Li, he finally adjusted his emotions, and said in a low tone of voice, “Should I call you Geresco or the Immortal King?”

Lin Li did not expect that the one who appeared in front of him was actually Geresco, who had guided him all the way here. In fact, from the perspective of inheritance, Geresco could be considered his teacher. After all, all the knowledge of magic that he had was closely related to Geresco.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Lin Li was very certain that what he saw this time was definitely no longer a manifestation, but a true God of Mages. However, Lin Li did not directly address the figure as Geresco. Instead, he asked such a sentence that others would find unbelievable.

Actually, Lin Li, who had been puzzled by the relationship between the Immortal King and Geresco for a long time, suddenly thought of an extremely unbelievable speculation at this moment.

Lin Li thought of the time when he defeated that Hunter’s Shadow in the Well of the Sun. At that time, the Immortal King had left a message saying that he was looking forward to meeting him in the Great Whirlpool, but now the one who appeared was Geresco.

Although Geresco’s shadow said it was returning a favor for someone back in the tower under the Cursed Island, which seemed to be separating the Immortal King from Geresco, Lin Li also remembered that the shadow had begun introducing himself as Geresco at some point. The introduction was rather strange, and he wondered, Since he started being Geresco at that time, who was the one before that?

Hence, after seeing Geresco’s true body, Lin Li asked that somewhat absurd question.

“I was once the Immortal King, but now I’m Geresco. You’d better just call me Geresco, and consider the Immortal King as a part of history,” Geresco answered calmly, clearly unconcerned about that question. After all, at his current level, his identity didn’t matter anymore.

However, after hearing Geresco’s answer with his own ears, Lin Li couldn’t 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 could be the same person. The Immortal King created the High Elves’ dynasty, while Geresco had led a rebellion to overthrow the same dynasty, which was akin to destroying his own achievements.

However, considering the level that Geresco was at, Lin Li felt that it was understandable again. Be it the Immortal King or Geresco, they had all been existences that were like god of gods. To him, High Elves were probably just playthings. In fact, in the eyes of Geresco, human beings and other intelligent races were probably nobodies.

Now that Anril was facing an apocalyptic disaster, Lin Li had no choice but to think of Geresco. He wondered, Is this also the result of Geresco’s intentional manipulation, just like the overthrowing of the High Elves?’

Lin Li’s thoughts were not exaggerated at all. Geresco had pushed the Tree of Eternity down, and the imbalance in the laws of Anril was also caused by the fall of the Tree of Eternity. Given Geresco’s strength, Lin Li did not believe that it was really necessary to destroy the Tree of Eternity to destroy the High Elves. In that case, Geresco’s approach was worth thinking about.

“Well, Geresco, can you now tell me, what exactly do you want?” Lin Li had asked himself that question 1,000 times, and he really wondered what exactly was Geresco doing all this for. After learning of the relationship between the Immortal King and Geresco, his desire to find out the answer to this question was getting stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Geresco was already standing at the top of the entire world, and even the gods had to bow down to him. Lin Li really couldn’t figure out just what else Geresco was dissatisfied with after having made so many great achievements. Could it all be just for a game?

Frankly speaking, the conjecture was rather displeasing. Although being treated as a pawn and a toy was essentially about the same, a pawn at least had a meaningful existence, and served a purpose. A toy was just disgusting. In particular, Lin Li wasn’t even willing to become someone else’s pawn, much less a toy.

Hearing Lin Li’s question, a smile appeared on Geresco’s face, and he looked at Lin Li with an indifferent gaze. He asked, “Do you think I should be satisfied with my current attainments?”

Lin Li froze for a moment, frowned, and sized up Geresco from head to toe before saying, “Given your ability to suppress the gods, there is barely anyone who is a match for you. You have an endless lifespan and great strength. Aren’t you satisfied with that?”

“Gods? They are just a bunch of ants under the supreme law!” Geresco’s tone was full of disdain for the gods, and at the same time, he seemed to be rather disappointed with Lin Li. He continued, “Under the supreme law, even I am only an ant-like existence. I’m just slightly stronger than the others. If I get all gleeful and complacent from these minor achievements, won’t I seem too ignorant?”

“The supreme law?” This was the first time Lin Li had ever heard of such a thing.

Everyone knew that this world was composed of various laws that boiled down to the elemental laws. The other laws of things like ice, snow, plants, etc., were derived from these seven laws.

In that case, what is the supreme law? To ascend to the Divine-realm, a Sanctuary powerhouse has to break free from the restraint of the seven great laws, and become a great existence that jumped out of this world. However, Geresco has clearly become a god of gods. Yet, he mentioned a supreme law. 

“According to the words used in your word, the supreme law is something like the rite of heaven. Can you understand now? Even the gods still do not get true freedom and immortality from the supreme law. I want to break the supreme laws, and be free from all restraint to achieve immortality!” Geresco explained with a murderous gaze in his eyes, as if the target he had been finding for tens of thousands of years was close at hand.

After hearing Geresco’s explanation, Lin Li couldn’t help but be surprised by his insanity. At the same time, he was also full of doubts and skepticism about the so-called realm of nothing.

However, if the real nothing could be explained, it probably wouldn’t be called nothing. It was just like saying the universe was empty, the lack of light was tantamount to darkness, and a lack of temperature was coldness, but darkness was not nothing. Was extreme coldness nothing too? Perhaps, darkness and extreme cold was a manifestation of the laws, so what kind of existence was that?

In the game world, the gods were supreme beings, but they were still bound by the laws of the world in the game. However, after jumping out of the in-game world, they would belong to another world. No one knew if there might be a pair of eyes peeking into the so-called real world, and perhaps there might be another existence behind that peeping person.

That seemed to be simply an unanswerable question! Lin Li could not figure it out at all, but he could only put it aside and look at Geresco. “How do you know that there isn’t another greater law beyond your so-called supreme law?”

Geresco smiled and looked into the distance, seemingly looking down on the entire Anril. After a moment, he finally said, “I know what you’re thinking. Actually, it’s because I’ve been to that in-game world of yours, and I know that it’s surprisingly just a plaything of another world. So, I’m curious to know if I’m also just a plaything of a higher existence. As for your question, what does it matter if there is a higher law beyond the supreme law? If there is, I’ll break it again!”

Geresco’s tone was very flat and calm at first, but towards the end, it finally made Lin Li experience the courage of the God of Mages to explore everything, as well as his domineering bravery to break all laws. The path of the mage was exactly as such, manipulating nomological power to break the power of laws. That was probably the most fundamental reason why Geresco could have such achievements.

Although he felt that Geresco’s appearance was not just to answer his doubts, Lin Li was still impressed by Geresco’s spirit.

However, despite being awestruck, Lin Li wouldn’t forget about his own matters just because of that. Thus, he asked, “In this case, what does the goal you’re working towards have to do with me? Why did you drag me into this world? Don’t tell me that it’s for the sake of returning a favor. I think you don’t believe that reason yourself, either.”
