Chapter 261
Although the information Chen Li was conveying was somewhat complicated, Jing Yuan easily grasped what Chen Li was trying to say.
This person wants to fight, and is capable of fighting. They can be used to trick people.
"My friend, please don't be impatient. The Luofu Xianzhou has always valued harmony. However, in a while, an enemy of equal strength to mine will arrive on the Xianzhou. At that time, you will naturally be able to show your skills," Jing Yuan said with a smile.
"Want to use me to eliminate the enemy? An interesting idea. I'll use my own eyes to judge whether I'll make a move then," the God of War said with a smile.
The God of War is the strongest god in the world of Game Life, but he is not stupid; on the contrary, he is very smart.
"Of course." The Destruction Envoy was infamous in this world, so Jing Yuan wasn't worried about that.
"Since this friend is able to continuously grow stronger in this world, why not stay on the Xianzhou? How about you use your eyes to see if the Xianzhou is worth helping? All expenses will be covered by the Luofu Xianzhou." Jing Yuan extended an invitation to the God of War.
"Yes, yes. The Luofu Xianzhou is so hospitable, why don't we stay here?" Tet was the happiest when he heard Jing Yuan's words.
"You don't want me to stay in my original world anymore?" The God of War glanced at Tet.
"How could that be? Disboard will always be your home, always your strongest support. Since this place can make you stronger, I want you to stay here, naturally for your own good." Tet vehemently denied it.
"Ha, then I'll accept this suggestion."
For Jing Yuan, it was naturally a good thing that the Luofu Xianzhou could accommodate a friend of the Emanator level. What's more, it was a friend of the Emanator level who was constantly getting stronger.
Chen Li really did something decent for once!
What if this friend is not satisfied with the Xianzhou?
Of course, Chen Li was responsible for resolving that.
Jing Yuan was no match for him.
"To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, let's sign a contract." Chen Li took out the Forced Transaction Coins.
"There is nothing wrong with that."
"No problem."
Jing Yuan, who wanted to stay on the Xianzhou to continuously improve himself, to witness the limits of his War Godhood, and to obtain a free Emanator- level combat power, did not refuse Chen Li's suggestion and did not feel constrained.
On the contrary, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
The God of War is very strong to Jing Yuan, but Jing Yuan is also very strong to the God of War.
"By the way... how did Gibril end up here?" After the two parties signed the contract, Chen Li squatted down and poked Gibril, who was tied up like a caterpillar, and asked.
"Take advantage of the fact that all the members of the Winged Race are exhausted and pluck all their feathers...she really needs to come out and take refuge," the God of War said.
The God of War wasn't angry at Gibril's behavior, but considering that Gibril might be hung up and whipped one by one by the other Winged Races... hanging her at the fortress gate was actually protecting her.
"I see... Go, get me something to eat." Chen Li commanded Gibril after untying Gibril restraints.
"Give me the money." Gibril held out her hand to Chen Li.
"What money? If I had money, would I need you to find food for me? I could just buy it myself. Stop talking nonsense and go earn money to support me." Chen Li slapped Gibril's hand away.
"... Okay, I'm off then!"
"Forget it, you should go explore the Xianzhou with Jing Yuan first, so you don't break the law without even realizing it. Otherwise, I'll have to go to the Cloud Knight Army to bail you out." Chen Li stopped Gibril again.
When Chen Li saw Gibril's excited expression as she looked at the Xianzhou, he had a feeling that he was about to untie the reins of a husky.
"Oh." Upon hearing that she couldn't move around freely, Gibril became disappointed.
"Chen Li, aren't you full after taking a bite of the World?" Tet asked curiously.
"What a coincidence, I'm about to finish digesting that World. Can I borrow the Star Cup for a moment?" Chen Li reached out his hand to Tet.
"What do you want to do? Wait, you're not going to... This is another world, in front of people from another world!" Tet's eyes widened.
"..." Although Jing Yuan didn't know what they were talking about, was it possible that they were on the Xianzhou and that they were the outsiders?
"Give it to me. I already said I'll only take a small bite." Chen Li snatched the Star Cup.
"What does Chen Li want to do?" After signing the contract with the God of War, Jing Yuan walked up to Tet and asked in a low voice.
It seems Chen Li is about to do something extraordinary?
"He intends to take a bite of the world," Tet sighed.
"Do you mean the Star Cup?"
"It's the Star Cup, but it's more than just the Star Cup. In our world, the Star Cup represents omniscience and omnipotence, which includes gathering the concept of the world onto the Star Cup, and then Chen Li takes a bite. What Chen Li eats is not just the Star Cup, but also the world, and all the living beings in the world. You should have felt this before, right?" Tet looked at the God of War.
"Yes." The God of War nodded.
"???" by Jing Yuan.
What does "eat one bite and the world is over" mean? Can you explain to me what "eat one bite and the world is over" means?
"Don't worry, the Star Cup might not be working well in this world because it's not suited to the local conditions," Tet said just as Jing Yuan was getting nervous.
"Phew... you scared me." Jing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Jing Yuan feel relieved.
Although there were some twists and turns in welcoming the new guests to Xianzhou, the ending was still good.
Leaving aside the possibility that the supreme god of another world might become a potential ally of the Xianzhou Alliance, the mere fact that a friend of the War God, an Emanator- level being, has settled in the Luofu Xianzhou is a fortunate event.
If the secret investigation team from the Xianzhou Alliance had arrived at Luofu Xianzhou Immortal Xianzhou before Phantylia came to it, they would have given Phantylia a great gift.
According to the preliminary plan of the Xianzhou Alliance, the candidates to go to Luofu Xianzhou are tentatively set as Foxians Feixiao of Yaoging Xianzhou and General Huai Yan of Zhuming Xianzhou.
This is almost exactly what Jing Yuan predicted.
Chen Li really did a good thing this time.
The guests brought by Chen Li finally stopped causing trouble for the Xianzhou.
"Huh?" Jing Yuan suddenly looked up.
When a fear of unknown origin descended, Jing Yuan knew he had been too hasty in celebrating.
A song, seemingly from nowhere, filled the entire Xianzhou, gradually enchanting everyone present.
The sound of the waves echoed in everyone's ears. Looking up, the Xianzhou seemed to have truly become a boat, sailing on the red ocean.
The world had ceased to exist in people's eyes, for the ancient being, who was both Aeon and Ancient Beast, had captured their entire being.
After Chen Li completely digested that world, in response to the Miracle of devouring the world, the Devouring Star God and the Path of Voracity extended an invitation to Chen Li.
Insects and ants to birds, wild rabbits to wolves and dogs, stardust to black holes, and all realms to Voracity.
The Voracity extended an invitation to Chen Li.
An invitation to eat.
When the Devouring Star God woke up and found that his ranking on the gluttony list had dropped to second, he knew that a new competitor had appeared!
Take a look, isn't that the young man who invited me to that mysterious space a while ago, the one who smelled so good? Just a pebble that's rough to the touch.
Take another look, hmm, isn't this kid eating a bit too much?
Take another look, holy crap, dude, you really eat [the world]?
The world of the Honkai: Star Rail world refers to planets in different star systems that cannot interfere with each other, rather than imaginary worlds.
For example Penacony is one world, while Ariello 6 is another.
The Devouring Star God, the thirsty drinker of all realms, refers to the countless planets and galaxies He has devoured.
According to Ouroboros, life is like the flickering algae in the ocean of emptiness, which will eventually return to darkness along with the stars that gave birth to them—a darkness that resides in His mouth.
In this darkness, Ouroboros will not allow any predator more powerful than himself to exist!
As a thirsty drinker of all realms, an insatiable devourer, a thinking black hole, He extended an invitation to Chen Li.
Invitation to a banquet.
The Feast at Hongmen!
But this battle, which determined both superiority and life and death, was not fair.
Because behind the Devouring Star God lies the entire Path of Voracity.
When an intelligent being ascends through some means and acquires a portion of the Imaginary Energy of the entire world, that intelligent being can be called Aeon. The energy He possesses is called Path. The Aeon can use the energy in Path at will.
This is also why Chen Li Liming, despite having come a long way on the Path of Voracity, has yet to be able to utilize the power of that Path of Voracity.
All the power related to Voracity that Chen Li possessed was obtained by Chen Li himself from the Devouring Star God.
In other words, Chen Li is about to confront a part of the world's Imaginary Energy.
And one of the oldest Aeon, whose true form is the Twilight Ancient Beast!
"Chen, Chen Li, the Aeon of Joy has been watching you, hasn't he? Quickly ask him for help. The Xianzhou can't hold on. I really want to be eaten by the Devouring Star God right now..." Jing Yuan immediately spoke up, holding Chen Li's shoulder and panting heavily.
"Don't be silly, the Aeon of Joy is probably watching all this from the heavens above with amusement in his eyes."
"What should we do then?"
"It's simple. I'll just become the Devouring Star God, won't I?"
"Um?"
Looking at the Devouring Star God who had extended an invitation to him, Chen Li slowly spoke.
"You... revealed your Path of Voracity, didn't you?" Chen Li held a small pair of scissors and slowly extended them towards the phantom of the Devouring Star God who had descended with the power of the Path of Voracity.
The true form of the Devouring Star God is not here; the dining table that the Devouring Star God arranged for Chen Li and himself is within the Path of Voracity.
The Devouring Star God is not here, but the Path of Voracity is everywhere.
Therefore, what Chen Li was actually facing was Path of Voracity.
"Snip!" The crisp sound of scissors echoed through the sky.
The Devouring Star God, who had already prepared for the meal and was waiting for Chen Li to dine with him within the Path of Voracity, felt as if something was leaving him.
It seems that something has severed the connection between myself and my Path?
The phantom of the Devouring Star God that appeared on the Xianzhou also dissipated into endless light.
The drastic impact of the Devouring Star God on the entire Xianzhou was also erased by an invisible hand as a gold coin was tossed out. This included, but was not limited to, thoughts consumed by gluttony, and various car accidents caused by being forcibly controlled.
Approval of Noble Morality: It can even be used to do things that are not morally permissible.
For example... causing the entire Xianzhou to be affected because of being targeted.
Approval of Noble Morality, an essential tool for cleanup!
You deserve it!
A large amount of Karma Coins disappeared, but because of the immeasurable merit Chen Li was doing at that moment, a large amount of Karma Coins began to be generated again...
But the crisis on the Xianzhou is not over yet, because the Path of Voracity the Devouring Star God is still there, and he can make a comeback at any time.
And in the infinitely distant beyond, the Devouring Star God... no, Ouroboros, was not disappointed or had any extra emotions because his Path had severed its connection with him.
Even if the Devouring Star God is no longer the Devouring Star God, then Ouroboros is still the Pathstrider is closest to that of the Path of Voracity.
Ouroboros could see his Path converging on him once more...
Even though the Path of Voracity has gained favor with Chen Li because of the Miracle of devouring the world, and because the Path of Voracity is currently closer to Chen Li, it is possible that Chen Li might briefly succeed in taking advantage of it...
But my Ouroboros with the Path of Voracity is 100%.
It was I, Ouroboros, who created the Path of Voracity, not the Path of Voracity that chose me!
You choose to use petty tricks in a battle of Voracity, rather than participating in the banquet to determine the winner!
They lack the capacity to become the Devouring Star God!
When Ouroboros dons the crown once more, it will also be the time when the Devouring Star God reappears!
"Snap!"
Just as Ouroboros felt that the Path of Voracity was about to return to his embrace, from Ouroboros's perspective, the icon representing 1/18 of the Imaginary Energy that signifies the world has a master, and representing one of the 18 Path created by the 18 Aeon, belonging to the Path of Voracity... turned gray.
"???"
"Oops, my hand slipped." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out.
Ouroboros's vision blurred, and he found himself back in that familiar, mysterious space, where he once again saw that sharp pebble, the culprit that had severed his connection with the Path of Voracity.
"It's quite a coincidence, actually. The price I had to pay for using the Judgment of All Things off your connection with the Path of Voracity was that one of my own Path became temporarily unavailable. Guess which Path I chose to ban the second I became the Devouring Star God?" Chen Li, who had invited the Devouring Star God into the Invitation Space using the projection of the Destiny Invitation Key, gave the Devouring Star God a completely impolite smile.
Making one of Chen Li's Path unusable certainly wouldn't affect the Path of the Honkai: Star Rail world; otherwise, what would be the price Chen Li had to pay? It should be called the price the world had to pay.
