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

With the teleportation array, returning to Byerkinworth would only take a moment.

At present, the two countries in the North and the South seem to be on the verge of a storm, but they have not really fought yet, so the teleportation arrays are still interconnected.

If the country enters a state of war, it would be difficult for Li Shanren to come back as the teleportation array would be closed and he might have to walk all the way back.

Therefore, after dealing with the matter of Lai Yue Subaru, if Li had no other things to do, he would also think about returning as soon as possible to avoid any accidents if he stayed for too long.

As for Lai Yue Subaru, if there are any unresolved problems in the future, Li Shanren does not plan to go there in person.

At most, he would learn about the situation through the communication scroll, and then use the bloody finger to transform into a red spirit and descend to Subaru Laiyue's side.

When Lai Yue Subaru was injured before, Li Shanren took the opportunity to collect a lot of his blood, so it was no problem for him to descend hundreds of times in a row.

However, after what just happened, Subaru Natsuki has probably gained the trust of everyone in the mansion. With Roswaal in charge, as long as Subaru Natsuki doesn't commit suicide, there won't be any major danger.

After all, with Li Shanren's current strength, there is still a big gap between him and Roswaal. Even if he has recently learned the "Tops Field", it can only ensure that he is not invincible.

As for defeating or even killing Roswaal, it is probably unlikely.

If they encounter an enemy that even Roswaal cannot deal with, then it may not be of much use for Li Shanren to go there.

As for those witch cultists who claimed to be under his jurisdiction, Li Shanren naturally could not take them back to his base camp, so he directly cut off contact with them.

Anyway, those guys are not really loyal to him, and may even be monitoring him on behalf of the "Sloth" Witch Archbishop over there.

After returning to his lakeside manor, Li Shanren went to find Elsa first.

Elsa seemed a little surprised to see Mary coming back with Li Shanren.

And Mary was even more surprised, because before this, Li Shanren had never mentioned Elsa to her.

Li Shanren learned from Elsa again about the Frost of the North, and learned from her that the Frost of the North usually only moves in the north and will not easily go south.

So it is not certain that someone would be sent to assassinate her and Mary.

But one must be on guard against others. After thinking about it, Li Shanren decided to take some blood from Elsa and Mary just in case.

Since then, Mary also signed a contract and stayed in the lakeside manor.

In the few days after returning to the manor, Li Shanren met with his friends one after another to inform them that he had returned, but he was expected to go out again soon.

Three more days passed.

Ludwig, wearing a gray trench coat, came as promised and invited Li Shanren to go to the holy city.

With the previous agreement, Li Shanren couldn't refuse, so after saying goodbye to Alice, Tifa and others again, he went to the so-called holy city alone with Ludwig.

The Holy City is located dozens of miles east of the royal capital of the Kingdom of Jonia and is considered to be another religious city.

The city does not cover a large area, only the size of an ordinary small town. Only priests, bishops and some believers live in it, and there are no ordinary residents.

The teleportation array cannot be reached directly. One needs to teleport to the royal city first and then go there on their own.

Even Ludwig is the same.

However, with the company of the first knight of the church, Li Shanren's trip was not trouble-free. He arrived at the holy city peacefully and met the legendary Pope Gyalfis very smoothly.

The Pope did not show any emotion at the arrival of Li Shanren, but he was actually very happy and wanted to clear his title of "saint" immediately.

However, this proposal was rejected by Li Shanren after careful consideration.

After all, the title of "saint" was forced upon him by the Moon God, and Li Shanren had no intention of becoming a "saint" under the Moon God for the time being.

He had a vague premonition that if he accepted the position of "saint", it might bring disaster rather than blessing in the future.

Faced with Li Shanren's refusal, the Pope felt sorry but did not force him. He just said that the Moon Goddess wanted to see him.

That night, the Pope invited Li Shanren to her prayer room, and under the moonlight, the Moon Goddess had a conversation with him.

The Moon Goddess did not appear directly, only some voices echoed in the prayer room.

He did not force Li Shanren to become His "saint", but He made an agreement with Li Shanren, requiring him to help at least three times when the Holy Governor Church was in trouble in the future.

As a reward, the Moon God allowed Li Shanren to enter her dream again, and this time the dream was designed just for him.

This incident also confirmed that the dream that Li Shanren had entered in the mountain village before did belong to this Moon God.

The Moon Goddess told Li Shanren that if an ordinary extraordinary person wants to break through the Saint Silver rank and reach the defending realm, the key lies in whether he can generate a trace of divine blood in his body.

There are two main ways to generate divine blood. One is to rely on one's own efforts, constantly improve oneself, and eventually divine blood will be generated in the body. However, this method is too difficult, and there are only a handful of people who have succeeded throughout history.

And all those who have generated divine blood through their own abilities have, without exception, eventually succeeded in igniting the divine fire, condensing the divine nature, and ascending to the throne of god.

But it is almost impossible for Li Shanren to succeed on this path. After all, he has never taken the extraordinary path of this world. Relying on the system of the border area, it seems difficult to condense the so-called "divine blood".

The second method is to take in external divine blood, absorb and fuse it, and break through the shackles of the realm. This method is the most commonly used at present. Either there is blood from the gods to help break through, or there is a chance encounter, encountering the inheritance of the gods and obtaining a trace of divine blood.

The Moon Goddess' dream is one of the ways to obtain the divine blood. Countless people are trying their best to enter the Moon Goddess' dream to train and obtain a trace of the divine blood.

But the Moon Goddess dream is hard to come by. Apart from entering it by chance, only a few people who know the inside story will enter the dream to gain experience at a specific time and place every year.

The Moon God's dreamland is a very strange place, which can be said to be between reality and illusion. If you want to obtain the divine blood from it, you can only hunt other gods in the dreamland and bring out the divine blood.

Although he didn't know why the Holy Governor's Church needed his help, Li Shanren thought about it carefully and finally decided to go to the Moon Goddess' Dreamland to see for himself.

Without much preparation, he fell into a deep sleep in the Pope's prayer room.

He slept for seven days and seven nights.

In the Moon Goddess' dream, he returned to the Victorian-style city called "Yharnam" again, met the hunter named "Frye" again, and explored the entire Moon Goddess' dream with him.

Li Shanren experienced a lot in that dream and hunted many powerful monsters, including the clergy beast who fell into madness, Bishop Amelia who fell into a beast, the first bishop of the church Lawrence, and even a cursed first knight of the church "Ludwig".

It is suspected that he has the same name as the First Knight of the Church in the outside world, which made Li Shanren couldn't help but have many speculations.

During the hunting and exploration process, Li Shanren discovered the truth that "humans" in the Moon Goddess' dream would turn into beasts.

The humans in the dream were evolved from wild beasts, because they were born from the so-called blood of the ancient gods and died in the blood of the ancient gods.

Li Shanren realized that the process of grabbing the "Echo of Blood" in the dream was actually the process of obtaining the divine blood.

After learning the truth, the church hunter "Fry" who was traveling with him could not accept it. At the same time, because he had used too much mixed blood, the spiritual imprint contained in the blood erupted at that moment, and eventually Fry fell into madness and turned into a bloodthirsty beast.

Li Shanren could only kill him with his own hands and give him the final peace.

It is worth mentioning that Li Shanren used a weapon called "Blade of Mercy" to kill Frye. It is said that this weapon can wake people in this world from their dreams and gain true liberation.

Although it is unclear whether this rumor is true, Li Shanren can only hold this wish and deliver the final blow to this friend in his dream.

Li Shanren, who embarked on a journey alone, finally came to a small fishing village.

At the seaside, in the deep night, beside the body of an ancient god who had long died, he challenged the son of an ancient god named "The Orphan of Kos". After killing him, he finally grabbed a trace of the purest divine blood from him, without any impurities or imprint of the true god.

After achieving his goal, Li Shanren used the Blade of Mercy to commit suicide, woke up from the dream and returned to reality.

And the divine blood merged into his body.

The Moon God seemed a little dissatisfied that Li Shanren did not use the "Blood of the Moon God" but used the blood of other gods, but did not show it in front of Li Shanren. Instead, he let him go as agreed.

After experiencing the cruel dream of the Moon Goddess, Li Shanren vaguely realized that the Moon Goddess was not as merciful and holy as she appeared.

However, he suspected that the blood of the Moon Goddess was both a gift and a bondage, so he refused to accept it.

Orphan Blood of Kos has no such worries.

After all, the ancient god named Kos is long dead.

Before leaving, the Pope who was waiting outside the prayer room gave Li Shanren a precious saint pendant. With this pendant, he could go to any Christian church and seek help in the name of a "saint."

Afterwards, Ludwig personally sent Li Shanren back to Beierjinwos.

The integration of divine blood had a great impact on Li Shanren.

The two broken fragments of the Elden Ring in his body reacted to the divine blood, allowing Li Shanren to truly activate the power of the Ring, rather than simply serving as a collector and container of the Ring.

This incident made Li Shanren think of some things.

At the border, those demigods who can use the power of the ring are almost all descendants of Queen Marika.

Queen Marika is a well-deserved "god", and her descendants must have inherited the blood of the gods. Even the weakest "limb-replacing" Greg has the rare blood of the gods.

The way these demigods use the magic rings is very different from that of Li Shanren, a Faded One. It can even be said that Li Shanren can only use a very small part of the power of the magic ring fragments.

As the most central fragment of the Great Rune, it can only slightly improve physical attributes after activation, which is obviously very inconsistent with its status.

After reading Greg's research diary on the Great Rune, Li Shanren was very sure that the Great Rune on his body possessed a powerful law called "fusion", but he had always found it difficult to use this power.

It was not until he obtained the divine blood that Li Shanren realized that the most crucial thing he lacked was the "divine blood" that every demigod possessed.

Although the "Full Moon Queen" Lenara does not have divine blood, she does not use the power of the ring directly. The piece of rune that belongs to her is hosted in a stillborn demigod embryo. It is with the help of the demigod embryo that Lenara can use that part of the power.

It also requires divine blood.

The blood of the orphan of Kos filled the last gap for Li Shanren. It was a key that truly liberated the divine power belonging to the magic ring.

After returning to the lakeside manor, Li Shanren simply greeted everyone and then went straight into a detached house, where he stayed for more than a month.

Currently, Li Shanren has two pieces of Great Rune fragments in his hands. One was obtained from "Limb Retrieval" Greg, and the other was obtained from "Full Moon Queen" Lenara.

After more than a month of research, Li Shanren figured out the powers of the two great runes, which are "fusion" and "birth" respectively.

The power of "fusion" allows Li Shanren to forcibly combine any two things together, but they cannot be combined randomly, and it seems that they still follow some kind of rules.

The power of "birth" belongs to the force of life, allowing Li Shanren to easily heal himself and others, and even regenerate severed limbs. It just requires the consumption of runes.

The power represented by this big rune seems to be the power within the law of the golden tree, which allows the souls that return to the golden tree to be reborn. It is one of the cornerstones of the law of "everyone is immortal" in the border area.

After becoming familiar with the power of the two Great Runes, Li Shanren made a bold move.

He used the power of the center of gravity rune to fuse the two runes together.

The two big runes were originally one, and they merged together without any hesitation.

After the fusion, the power of the two Great Runes was enhanced to a certain extent.

In the future, if a new Great Rune is obtained, it can be further integrated and enhanced, and finally pieced together into the real Elden Ring.

Suddenly, Li Shanren became somewhat confident about resolving the dilemma in the border area and truly liberating the border area.

Beyond the possible endings in his dream, he saw a new possibility, a new path.

Li Shanren didn't know whether the end of this road was really full of hope, but at least he had seen the ends of other roads.

So he wanted to go on and give it a try no matter what.

From then on, the last knot in Li Shanren's heart that made him afraid to push forward border affairs was resolved.

After mastering the new power, Li Shanren entered the border area again, ready to seize the next piece of the Great Rune fragment.

He will go to the Gelide region to challenge the Star-Breaking General Latan, who is known as the "strongest demigod" in the border area.

Of course, before that, there is still some preparation work to be done.
