Chapter 233 The First Cornerstone
A silver light as bright as silver and as pure as water gradually bloomed from Roland's body.

In his eyes, a silver-white flame gradually rose.

"rest in peace--"

Roland's calm and low prayer sounded.

Immediately, the silver-gray astral language emerged from the void, forming several rings, slowly spinning around Roland, who was shining with silver light.

Faint but not dazzling light spots like moonlight emerged from the silver-white shimmering light on Roland's body, fluttering in the air like cotton wool.

Cold, viscous—a texture reminiscent of bone marrow.It is as soft as a dandelion under the moonlight.

Roland's body is filled with a sanctity that is completely different from the past.

It was as if something sacred was about to burst out of Roland's body.

That's exactly what happened.

The silver shimmer on Roland's body, which fluctuates slightly like breathing, is the proof that he has gradually stepped into the inhuman realm.

After all, it is impossible for human priests to use the Holy Light.As long as there is a little bit of selfishness in the heart, and there is even a little bit of incompatibility with the gods, the pure holy light given by the gods can only burn into flames.

But the problem is not unsolvable.

That's right, if it's something that humans can't do, then as long as it's not humans, it's enough.

For example, Awakening Origins.

No matter what race it is, after awakening the origin, it will become a pure transcendent race.

And after Roland saw the Wall of Aum from the realm of life and death, and was pulled back to the human world by Claudia, he awakened a completely unexpected supernatural ability.

Cornerstone——

This is the process of engraving the cornerstone elements into the soul, and it is the only way to awaken the origin.

Roland stretched out his hand and focused heavily on it.

"You need to pay 3000 experience points for foundation stone transformation (unknown element). Are you sure?"

"Warning, this process cannot be reversed——"

confirm.

"Warning, your willpower is less than ten—"

confirm.

"Warning, your talent has not awakened—"

confirm.confirm.confirm.

Roland kept clicking repeatedly in the void.

At the end, as if something had been shattered suddenly, the rattling sound of the ice cracking gradually came from Roland's direction.

No one else has ever bedridden that kind of gradual transformation.With the help of the system, Roland omitted the intermediate steps and directly obtained the final result.

Theoretically speaking, the supernatural ability of the first chance should only appear after reaching the peak of the golden rank.Even if there are occasional exceptions, it is only in the middle of the golden stage or even at the beginning of the golden stage that the cornerstone transformation is completed.

Historically, the first person to complete the cornerstone before the golden stage was Arthur who released Elucado.When he was at the silver level, he had already undergone two cornerstone transformations. After entering the gold level and completing the sublimation of his soul, he had the power to crush multiple gold-level professionals head-on with only these two sublimated cornerstone elements. It can even defeat a superhuman who has embarked on the road to awakening.

Since Roland got a chance to turn it into a cornerstone, it means that he has now found one of the cornerstone elements.

As long as he transforms into a foundation stone, it means that Roland can immediately obtain the terrifying power to fight against the gold level.

After all, the Brain Eater has no origin.This is Roland's only advantage over Elcardo.

Each cornerstone element is a description of one angle of its origin.The earlier the cornerstone is formed, the deeper the origin power is in the soul.

But if the willpower is not determined enough and the soul is not stable enough, you don’t even need to wait for the origin to go berserk. Just the foundation stone itself will distort your cognition.This is why Inregosa would reject the origin of awakening—as an astrological wizard who could predict the future, he was keenly aware that the first cornerstone element he obtained would directly destroy his sanity.

But having said that, Roland did not enter the silver-ranked soul alienation, nor did he enter the golden-ranked soul sublimation, and his own will will inevitably be distorted if he is transformed into a stone at a mere bronze-ranked level.

Moreover, cornerstoneization itself is also risky-because the origin awakener itself does not know what his cornerstone elements are.

If the first element of Roland's awakening is "ordered", "stable" or "stationary", then fortunately, at least Roland's character will not be distorted too much; but if Roland's first cornerstone element is "chaotic", "malicious", and "distorted", which are full of aggressiveness, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Not to mention a big change in temperament, even turning into a mass of rotten meat, or turning into the Twilight Familiars on the spot is not out of the question.

This is undoubtedly a gamble.But no matter what the result is, in a sense, today's Roland is equivalent to dead - a new Roland will be born on the old corpse.

That's right, Roland has the option to safely activate Foundation Stone after entering the Silver level.However, once he thought about the power gained after being transformed into a foundation stone at the Bronze level and continuously strengthened through subsequent soul alienation and soul mutation, it was enough to make Roland's heart swell.

If it is said that the cornerstone transformation performed at the silver level is enough to crush multiple gold peak powerhouses when they first entered the gold stage, then how powerful will the cornerstone transformation carried out at the bronze stage be after two sublimations strength?
Only then would Roland have the determination to grow enough to defeat Tyr within a year.

Anyway, Roland's longing for his sister will never be shaken for any reason - as long as there is one thing that will not change, that's enough.As for the rest, it doesn't matter how he changes it.

Feeling the increasingly louder shattering sounds coming from inside his soul, the emotions in Roland's eyes gradually froze into ice, while a kind of superior pity gradually rose from Roland's heart.

At the same time, irresistible sleep gradually overwhelmed Roland's consciousness.

Ah, at least it doesn't look like a very aggressive cornerstone element...

Roland smiled wryly, and such a thought floated through his mind.

The silver halo on Roland's body has become more and more shining. Now, it has almost dyed the entire skin into bright silver.

As if feeling that some great existence in him was waking up—Roland clearly felt the threat from Elcardo was getting stronger, but she still didn't dare to attack Roland rashly.

Roland showed an extremely gentle smile.

"Since you don't come over, then I will go over."

Roland spoke in a soft tone that was almost drowsy, and made a voice that he could barely hear.

Roland stepped hard on the carpet made of flesh and blood with his right foot.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred——

As if digested by concentrated acid, the flesh and blood that touched Roland's body melted quickly.

It wasn't even just the chunks of flesh he touched that were digested.

As if an invisible new star spread out from the ground, large pieces of flesh and blood quickly melted like snow sprinkled with salt.

But such a move also consumed a lot of Roland's energy.The body that could still be controlled suddenly became a complete empty shell.

"Cornerization completed. What you got..."

Even without seeing the final system prompt, Roland lost consciousness, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, the crazy Elcardo finally couldn't help it, and launched a fierce attack on Roland who showed a huge flaw——
