When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

As soon as Star-Breaking General Latan died, the seal that locked the stars was immediately lifted. The stars in the sky began to move again, and countless meteors streaked across the night sky.

One of the meteors closest to the border fell in the distance, estimated to be to the east of Nimgfu.

Half-wolf Blaze returned to the battlefield and found Li Shanren. He highly praised Li Shanren's performance in the battle just now, and told him a piece of information -

General Starbreaker is dead, the Seal of the Stars has been unlocked, the road to the eternal city of Noklongun and the road to Lani's destiny have been opened. Go to the entrance of Noklongun as soon as possible.

In addition to Blaze, a warrior named "Alexander" also returned to the battlefield.

"Pot" is a very strange creature in the border area. It looks like a huge pot filled with various corpse parts and is distributed in various places in the border area.

Although the way they were born seems a bit bloody, most of the "pots" are kind and simple creatures.

Rumor has it that before the Elden Ring was broken, the "Pots" were a race responsible for transporting the bodies of the dead to the Golden Tree at the border, helping the dead to be "reborn."

But since the Elden Ring was broken, most of the pots seemed to no longer transport corpses. Or, they may have tried to transport corpses, but were unable to transport them to the foot of the real golden tree. Instead, they were transported to the small golden trees in various border areas. However, the small golden trees could not bring the dead back to life.

For some unknown reason, the "pots" that were used to transport corpses died one after another at the foot of the little golden tree. Therefore, the remains of many "pots" can often be seen near the little golden tree.

Alexander belonged to the warrior group and was not responsible for transporting the bodies.

Li Shanren met Alexander twice while exploring the border area. The first time, he was stuck in a pit and was able to escape with the help of Li Shanren.

The second time, Li Shanren met him in the mine tunnel where he obtained the famous sword Yueyin. At that time, Alexander said that he was coming to Red Lion City to participate in the battle festival, but he got lost in the tunnel. He was able to move forward with the help of Li Shanren.

After these two experiences, the warrior Hu had a favorable impression of Li Shanren.

However, in the battle with Latan just now, Alexander seemed to be seriously injured. There were obvious cracks on the body of the pot, and blood was even flowing out continuously. In order to repair the cracks, he was trying hard to collect the bodies of the dead warriors on the battlefield to fill himself.

Alexander was very frustrated with his performance in the battle just now. He thought that Li Shanren ended the entire ceremony like a hero, but his pot body was easily cracked and he almost could no longer be a warrior pot.

Fortunately, there were many heroic corpses here for him to repair the pot.

After saying goodbye to Alexander and Blaze, Li Shanren did not leave the battlefield immediately, but continued to go deeper into the battlefield, and finally found a secret cemetery of heroes under a cliff near the sea.

Buried inside are the bodies of the Red Lion Knights and the Honored Corruption Knights under the command of General Shatterstar and the Valkyrie during the great battle between the two sides. Due to the breaking of the Elden Ring, these heroes were unable to return to the Golden Tree. Their souls still remain in the cemetery, and they are even still attacking each other, continuing the war that had long ended.

Li Shanren entered the cemetery to explore, and made progress with difficulty in the battlefield where the souls of knights from both sides were fighting.

This cemetery of heroes is not actually a place that must be conquered in Lani's quest line, but a place that can only be explored after your strength has reached the later stage.

Because these knights buried in the cemetery are different from General Shattered Star who has been tortured by the scarlet corruption outside and is extremely weak. They are in the state of soul and have retained most of their strength. If they attack Li Shanren together, even with his current strength, he will be chased away.

Fortunately, both sides were immersed in the attack and had no time to pay attention to Li Shanren who sneaked into the cemetery. Only occasionally, a knight who discovered Li Shanren would attack him, but he would only chase him for two steps before being stopped by the enemy's knights.

Li Shanren spent a lot of effort and successfully completed the exploration of the entire Cemetery of Heroes. He obtained the soldier ashes "Soldiers of Ratan", the legendary ashes "Red Lion Knight Oga", and the gravity magic "Broken Star".

Since at the deepest part of the cemetery there is a corrupt tree spirit guarding the ashes of the Red Lion Knight "Oga", an extra golden seed that can increase the capacity of the Holy Grail bottle was also harvested.

Among them, the gravity magic "Star Shattering" can release multiple magic gravity balls. The enemies hit will be attracted and pulled towards the caster. It is said that the former Star Shattering General Latan used this magic to shatter the stars and completed the feat of sealing the stars.

After resolving the issue of General Shattering Star, Li Shanren naturally also obtained the Great Rune belonging to this demigod, but since he had not yet gone to the Tower of Divine Granting to activate it, he only knew that the effect of this Great Rune in the game was to increase the upper limits of life, energy and concentration by 15% each.

However, Li Shanren is still unclear about the true power of this Great Rune.

Therefore, it is more important to activate the Great Rune now and truly master the power of this Great Rune.

Li Shanren immediately set off for the Divine Tower in the Gailed area.

This divine tower almost stands on the sea surface, located near a steep cliff. There is no normal road to reach it, and the only way to climb up is through several huge tree roots that spread onto the tower. The surface of those tree roots is very smooth, so you need to be very careful when walking, otherwise you may fall off the cliff and die if you are not careful.

But the surface of this tree root had no effect on Torret. It carried Li Shanren up to the Divine Tower as if walking on flat ground and successfully activated the Great Rune.

After activation, the appearance of the Great Rune changes from a plain grey to a fiery red like a burning flame. The real power of this Great Rune is "enhancement". At the same time, because Latan seems to have transformed this Great Rune, it also has the ability of "fire purification", which can be used to remove negative states of the body, including but not limited to poisoning, curses, marks, scarlet corruption, etc.

But this kind of purification obviously cannot purify the deep-seated scarlet corruption, otherwise Latan would not have been eroded and tortured to the point of being unconscious.

After all, its real effect is "strengthening" rather than "purification", and the scarlet corruption that resides in Latan has probably reached the level of "god", and ordinary purification will have no effect at all.

However, I wonder if this "purification" ability is effective against slave marks?

This can only be verified by returning to another world.

After activating the Great Rune, there was still some time left, so Li Shanren did not return immediately, but continued to explore the bottom floor of the Divine Tower.

This divinely bestowed tower is different from other divinely bestowed towers. Li Shanren climbed directly upwards from the middle of the tower, so he has never been to the bottom floor of the divinely bestowed tower.

However, it is not easy to get to the bottom of the tower, as the interior of the tower seems to have experienced a collapse. There is also no normal road leading to the bottom of the tower. The only way is to jump down through layers of stone beams until you reach a temporary small elevator cage and reach the bottom through that elevator cage.

Li Shanren encountered a tall and thin enemy named "Divine Skin Apostle" at the deepest part of the bottom of the Divine Tower. He was wearing a robe made of smooth white skin, had a cold breath, and could use a black flame that could directly burn the essence of life.

In a one-on-one fight, the oppressive feeling that this divine-skin apostle brought to Li Shanren was no less than that of General Ratan.

Fortunately, the Soul Summoning Bell can be used at the bottom of the God-granting Tower. He directly summoned the "Storm Guards" and successfully defeated the God-skin Apostle after a righteous beating.

This Divine Skin Apostle was indeed powerful and could use a large-scale black flame attack. After the battle, only two Lost Home Knights barely survived, and the rest of the ashes and souls returned to the Soul Summoning Bell.

Li Shanren found a powerful weapon in the only treasure chest guarded by the God Skin Apostle, which was no less powerful than a legendary weapon, and could even be called a divine weapon - the "God Hunting Greatsword". According to legend, before the Golden Law ruled the borderland, there was a queen with night-colored eyes walking on the land. She drove the black flame that could kill gods, and led her God Skin Apostles to hunt many gods in the borderland.

However, the queen was eventually defeated by a being called "Malicus" and has since disappeared.

The big sword in front of you is the holy sword that the queen once used. With it, you can control the black flame that can hunt gods.

The reason why this black flame is so powerful is that the enemy burned by the black flame will have their life source ignited directly, and it can ignore most of the defenses.

However, the black flames are now much weaker than before, and the life sources that have been burned away can be restored through normal treatment methods.

Having said that, this attack method that can ignore the enemy's defensive capabilities is still very powerful.

But it is rumored that in the beginning, the origin devoured by the black flames cannot be restored by any means. Once the origin of life is burned out, it will be completely dead, and there will be no possibility of resurrection.

Black flames symbolize "absolute death" and are a symbol of the law of death.

But after Malycus defeated the Queen of the Night Eyes, he seemed to have taken away the corresponding law of death from her, turned it into a death rune and sealed it away.

This is also the reason why there is no "death" at the border.

Malicus is Queen Marica's loyal sworn brother, and has the title of "Black Sword". He has been guarding the sealed Death Rune somewhere, and even though the border area is gradually falling into collapse, he has not shown up to intervene.

When the Moon Princess Lani planned the "Night of the Black Blade", she stole part of the power of the Death Rune from him, which allowed the Black Blade Assassins to actually kill the "Golden Prince" Godwin.

Otherwise, in a borderland without "death", it would be impossible for anyone to kill an orthodox demigod.

Rumor has it that Malicus has been repenting for the theft of the "Death Rune" and is therefore making some kind of remedy and atonement.

After exploring the bottom of the Divine Tower, Li Shanren's stay at the border reached its limit and his consciousness returned to another world.

He awoke in a cabin on his lakeside estate, and immediately plunged into his research on the Great Rune of Latarn.

During this period, he almost never left the house and stayed in the wooden house to study the Great Rune. Since he had informed them in advance, no one came to disturb him.

Seven days later, under the power of "fusion", Latan's Great Rune was successfully spliced ​​together with the Central Great Rune.

This allowed Li Shanren to fully master the power of the Great Rune.

The original power of this Great Rune is to consume the corresponding Rune ability and strengthen any element by 15%, including but not limited to attributes, magic, combat skills, positive effects, negative status, etc. After being spliced ​​and fused with other Great Runes, the degree of strengthening is increased to 60%.

This is equivalent to improving everything by more than half without any distinction.

And as Li Shanren continues to integrate other Great Runes, there is still considerable room for improvement in this enhancement.

According to Li Shanren's calculations, each new Great Rune fused can double the enhancement rate, so at the beginning the improvement was only 15%, but after connecting with the two Great Runes in Li Shanren's hand, it doubled to 60%.

After fusing this Great Rune, Li Shanren's overall attributes increased by 60%.

Now his attribute panel is as follows:

【Name】: Li Shanren

[Race]: Human (Dragon Eater)

[Level]: 160

【Life】: 40→64

[Endurance]: 20→32

[Focus]: 40 → 64

[Strength]: 35 → 56

[Dexterity]: 30 → 48

[Intelligence]: 70→99

【Faith】：30→48

[Perception]: 15 → 24

[Focus Value]: 385 (including the amulet "Blue Amber Pendant" + 7% maximum concentration value bonus)

[Rune required for distance to next level]:

[Note]: Blessed by the Great Rune of Grek, all attributes are increased by +5, branded by Radagon, life, endurance, strength, and dexterity are increased by +3 each, teleported by two fingers, faith is increased by +5, legend of the Broken Star is increased by +5, and strengthened by the Great Rune of Latarn, all attributes are increased by 60%

[Activated Great Runes]: Grek's Great Rune (Fusion Law), Unborn's Great Rune (Birth Law), Latan's Great Rune (Enhancement Law)

......

Li Shanren silently felt the surging power throughout his body.

Although he still had hundreds of thousands of rune energies on him, enough to allow him to level up a few more times and further enhance his attributes, it was no longer necessary.

Right now, he still has at least four normal Great Runes to obtain. Every time he obtains a Great Rune fragment, his attributes will increase significantly.

Level is no longer important to him, so there is no need to waste Rune to improve it.

In fact, his current "Intelligence" attribute has overflowed. According to the 60% increase, he originally only needed 62 points of basic intelligence attribute to max out this item to 99, but now it has been increased from 70 to 99, with almost 8 points of attribute overflow.

Li Shanren had no way of judging whether these overflowing attributes were wasted or had broken through the bottleneck.

After all, this was the first time he maxed out a single attribute to 99.

Therefore, I can only go to the Full Moon Queen later and use the magic of "rebirth" to redistribute the overflowing attributes to see if I can feel the reduction of the intelligence attribute.

Although the Great Rune, which has no chance of birth, possesses the law of "birth" itself, it still needs the help of the amber egg in the arms of the Full Moon Queen to use the magic of "birth".

Apart from that, the Great Rune of the Unborn was unable to help him readjust his attributes.

After fusing with Latan's Great Rune, the fragments of the Elden Ring in Li Shanren's body undoubtedly became more complete, and the power of the other two Great Runes was further enhanced.

The most significant change is that Li Shanren can use less rune energy to use the power of the two magic ring fragments, and many things can be done with twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, Li Shanren did not forget that Latan's Great Rune also had the power of "purification", so he simply packed up and left the cabin.

He first found the three maids who helped him take care of the manor - Svana, Love and Avril.

Li Shanren promised to remove their slave marks.

However, after trying it, Li Shanren had to give up the "purification" method.

The essence of the "purification" ability of this Great Rune is to use the power of fire to burn and eliminate the negative states of the body. The side effect is that the person being purified will also suffer from the pain of being burned by the flames. As Li Shanren increases the intensity of the "purification", the blood of the person being purified will even begin to burn.

The "slave mark" can indeed be slowly removed through this method, but the purification speed is relatively slow. I am afraid that by the time the slave mark is not purified, the three maids will be burned to death first.

Once the "purification" is stopped halfway, those parts of the slave marks that had been eliminated will return to normal in a short time. If this thing cannot be solved in one go, it will be as difficult to remove as psoriasis.

In fact, in the Messianic Continent, there are methods like this to slowly remove slave marks, but they basically encounter the same dilemma as "flame purification".

Of course, Li Shanren can use the "birth" law to continuously repair the burned bodies of the three maids during the purification process, so as to remove the slave mark in one go.

But after experiencing the pain of being burned by flames, even Svana, who had the strongest willpower, said that it was difficult to endure the pain as if she was in a fiery hell. Even if this method was used to successfully purify the slave mark, it would still cause great damage to their spirits.

Therefore, Li Shanren had no choice but to give up.

It seems that we still have to go to the royal city at the border to find the golden prayer called "Regression Principle".

That prayer has the powerful effect of eliminating all conditions and returning everything to its original state.

Just as Li Shanren was about to return to the cabin and head to the border again, Lai Yue Subaru, who had not contacted him for nearly two months, suddenly sent him a message, begging for his help.
