Chapter 231: The First Cornerstone

A silver glow as bright as silver and as pure as water gradually bloomed from Roland.

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

"Rest in peace—"

Roland's calm, low prayer rang out.

Suddenly, silver-gray astral words emerged from the void, connected into several rings, and slowly swirled around Roland who was shining with silver light.

Specks of light as faint and undazzling as moonlight emerged from the silvery-white shimmer of Roland's body in large swaths, fluttering in the air like cotton wool.

Cold, sticky – it's reminiscent of bone marrow. It's as soft as a dandelion in the moonlight.

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

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

And that's exactly what happened.

The silver glimmer on Roland's body, which fluctuated slightly like breathing, was proof that he had gradually stepped into the inhuman realm.

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

But this problem is not unsolvable.

That's right, if it's something that humans can't do, then it's enough to be non-human.

Take, for example, the origin of awakening.

No matter what race it is, after awakening to its origin, it will become a pure detached species.

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

Petrochemical -

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

Roland stretched out his hand and focused on it.

"3,000 XP is required to perform the base petrochemical (unknown element), do you want to confirm it?"

"Warning. This process cannot be reversed—"

Confirm.

"Warning, your will is less than ten-"

Confirm.

"Warning, your talent hasn't awakened—"

Confirm. Confirm. Confirm.

Roland kept clicking hard and hard in the void.

At the end, as if something had suddenly shattered, the creabling sound of the ice breaking suddenly came from the direction of Roland.

There is no such gradual transformation as other human fossilizations. With the help of the system, Roland omitted the intermediate steps. Straight to the end result.

Theoretically, it is only when you reach the peak of the Golden Tier that you can have the supernatural ability that you can get your first chance. Even if there are occasional exceptions, it is only in the middle of the Golden Rank or even at the beginning of the Golden Tier that the base stone is completed.

Historically, the first person to complete the base stone before the Golden Tier was Arthur, who released Elukado. He had already performed two base stones when he was in the Silver Rank, and after stepping into the Golden Rank to complete the soul sublimation, he only relied on these two sublimated cornerstone elements to have the power to crush multiple Gold Rank professionals head-on, and even be able to defeat the transcendents who stepped into the path of awakening.

Now that Roland has been given a chance to build a cornerstone, it means that he has now found one of the cornerstone elements.

As long as he carries out the base petrification, it means that Roland can immediately gain the terrifying power to fight against the Golden Order.

After all, Brain Eaters have no origin. This is the only advantage Roland has over Elukado.

Each cornerstone element is a description of one of its origins. The earlier the base is petrified. It means that the power of origin is deeper and deeper in the soul.

But if the willpower is not enough to identify and the soul is not stable enough, there is no need to wait for the origin to run wild, and the foundation stone itself will distort cognition. This is why Inlegosa rejects the Origin of Awakening - as an astrowizard who can predict the future, he is keenly aware that the first building element he obtains will directly destroy his own sanity.

But then again, Roland did not enter the soul alienation of the silver level, let alone the soul sublimation of the gold level, and if he was petrified at the level of the bronze level, his own will could be said to be inevitably distorted.

And. Cornerstone is also risky in itself - because the Origin Awakened itself does not know what their building blocks are.

If the first element of Roland's awakening is something like "orderly", "stable" or "static", then that's fine. At least Roland's character won't be distorted too much; But if Roland's first cornerstone is "chaotic", "malicious", "distorted", and aggressive, the consequences are dire.

Not to mention a drastic change in temperament, even if it becomes a mess of rotten meat, or it is not impossible to become a twilight dependent on the spot.

This is undoubtedly gambling. But whatever the outcome, in a sense, today's Roland is dead – a new Roland will be born from the old corpse.

That's right, Roland has the option to safely turn on the base petrochemical after entering the Silver Tier. But. The thought of the power gained from the foundation petrification of the bronze level and the subsequent continuous enhancement of the soul alienation and soul mutation was enough to make Roland's heart flutter.

If it is said that the base petrochemical carried out in the silver level is enough to crush the multiple gold peak powerhouses when they have just entered the gold level, then how powerful will the foundation petrochemical they carried out in the bronze level be after two sublimations?

That's the only way. Roland had the determination to grow enough to defeat Tyre in less than a year.

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

Feeling the louder and louder sound of breaking from inside the soul, the emotion in Roland's eyes gradually froze into ice, and a kind of high pity gradually rose from Roland's heart.

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

Ah, at least it doesn't seem like a very aggressive building block......

Roland smiled bitterly, such a thought drifted through his heart.

The silver halo on Roland's body had become more and more shining, and now it had reached the point where he almost dyed his skin into brilliant silver.

As if sensing something great about him awakening - Roland felt a growing sense of threat from Elukado, but she never dared to raid Roland.

Roland smiled a very gentle smile.

"Since you can't come, then I'll go over."

Roland's voice was almost unconscious, and he made a voice that he could barely hear.

Roland's right foot pressed hard and gently on the carpet of flesh and blood.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred-

As if it was dissolved by thick acid, the flesh that touched Roland's body quickly melted.

And not even just the pieces of meat he touched were dissolved.

It was as if an invisible nova had spread out from the ground, and vast swaths of flesh and blood quickly dissolved and 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 completely empty shell.

"The foundation petrochemical is completed. You get ......"

Even before the last system prompt was clear, Roland lost consciousness directly, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, the frantic Elukado finally couldn't help it and launched a fierce attack on Roland, who had exposed a huge flaw. )
