54: The Childhood Projection of Lord Yaoguang

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, your forging was successful.”

As the last message prompt popped up, three accessories were successfully forged.

[Brightlight Ring] (Purple)

Level: 1

Attack +5

Attack Limit +2%

[Brightlight Necklace] (Purple)

Level: 1

Attack +5

Attack Limit +2%

[Brightlight Bracelet] (Purple)

Level: 1

Attack +5

Attack Limit +2%

The three purple-quality accessories looked like a set by name, but they were not. Instead, they were three excellent individual pieces, powerful individual pieces, as the name implied.

In fact, the Brightlight accessories could not even be called powerful individual pieces.

Because the stats were too low.

However, Li Si was unable to wear high-level equipment, so he could only make do with these.

“Clatter!”

The three accessories appeared in the equipment bar.

Li Si’s Attack Limit soared from 244 points to 276 points.

This attack power was definitely enough.

Because the level 20 purple Inferno Demon King only had an Attack Limit of 230 points.

Even if the Seven Stars Mausoleum was a level 30 hidden area, Li Si was confident that 276 points of attack would be enough for him to clear it.

“Pop!”

In the center of the Novice Village square, the treasure map was crushed by Li Si.

In an instant, seven stars descended, and starlight was boundless. At this moment, the dazzling glow of the seven great stars was so bright that it overshadowed the sun, with stars competing with the day.

“Holy crap, what is that!?”

“Such dazzling stars!”

“Am I seeing things? I’m seeing stars in broad daylight.”

“......”

Players near the Novice Village square were incredibly excited.

The seven great stars scattered their light, and a gate of light slowly rose.

“This will be the final push within the Novice Village.”

Li Si took a deep breath and stepped into the Star Gate.

“Whoosh!”

The surrounding environment instantly changed from the wide and flat Novice Village square to a brightly lit tomb chamber. The tomb chamber was resplendent with light, and although it was magnificent, it gave a sense of incongruity.

A tomb should be dim, but the Seven Stars Mausoleum was incredibly bright.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have arrived at the hidden area – Seven Stars Mausoleum (Level 30).”

“Description: A secret space where seven righteous gods from ancient times and the seven stars treasure lotus are buried.”

At this moment, a mottled and blurry image popped up before Li Si’s eyes.

In ancient times, a lotus flower was born between heaven and earth.

This lotus flower was incredibly marvelous, possessing mysterious and mighty power that could allow one to undergo a complete transformation. The lotus had seven petals, constantly shimmering with specks of starlight, hence it was called the seven stars treasure lotus.

Later, seven youths obtained this lotus flower.

Each of them consumed one petal.

The seven youths all gained immense good fortune. After a hundred years, all seven youths ascended to become righteous gods, becoming the famous Big Dipper Seven Gods. They named themselves: Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang.

Time flew by, years passed like shuttles.

Countless years later, a terrifying upheaval occurred. Endless fallen gods suddenly appeared, and chaotic fallen divine power swept across heaven and earth, causing widespread suffering. To quell this upheaval, the righteous gods of heaven and earth emerged and engaged in a divine war with the fallen gods that lasted for ten thousand years.

The Big Dipper Seven Gods consequently fell in the divine war.

The place where their remains were buried was the Seven Stars Mausoleum.

At this point, the image ended.

“So that’s how it is.”

Li Si looked ahead and found seven tomb chambers at the end of the mausoleum. Each tomb chamber had a name corresponding to the divine names of the Big Dipper Seven Gods.

Seven tomb chambers...

Which one should he go to first?

By this time, Li Si had already guessed the clear conditions for the Seven Stars Mausoleum; it was most likely to clear the seven tomb chambers before him.

However, he did not know which one was the optimal choice to enter first.

“I’ll pick randomly.”

After a moment of thought yielded no results, Li Si simply closed his eyes and walked forward, randomly entering a tomb chamber.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have arrived at the hidden area: Seven Stars Mausoleum – Yao Guang Divine Lord’s Tomb Chamber (Level 30).”

Li Si slowly opened his eyes.

“Boom!”

Dense energy surged, and the lotus petals in the center of the tomb chamber swayed, refracting rays of light.

The light was mottled and faint, condensing into a figure in mid-air.

The figure, dressed in white, floated in the air, holding a folding fan: “Descendant, welcome to my fallen ground. Come, attack me, defeat me, and only then can you take away the petals of the seven stars treasure lotus.”

“Greetings, Yao Guang Divine Lord.”

Li Si cupped his hands, neither humble nor arrogant, then activated the system’s detection ability to check Yao Guang Divine Lord’s attributes—

[Yao Guang Divine Lord’s Juvenile Projection] (Purple Lord)

Level: 30

Health: 300,000

Attack: 390-400

Armor: 100 (Physical damage taken reduced by 50%)

Magic Resistance: 100 (Magic damage taken reduced by 50%)

Talents: [Yao Guang Phantom] [Lord's Power]

Skills: [Light Flash] [Light Spot] [Light Radiance].....

Description: A righteous god from ancient times, a juvenile phantom projected, possessing terrifying evasion.

“....NB.”

Yao Guang Divine Lord’s attributes were ridiculously high.

Li Si had tried to imagine it as much as possible, but he had not expected Yao Guang Divine Lord’s attributes to actually include armor and magic resistance.

But even so, he had to fight.

Without any hesitation, he decisively pulled out the Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow, and with a “whoosh,” he fired a normal attack.

“Wild Bow?”

Seeing the weapon in Li Si’s hand, Yao Guang Divine Lord seemed to fall into a reverie. In ancient times, he and his good friend Da Yi traveled together, pacifying various fallen gods across heaven and earth.

Those memories were too beautiful.

Now that the Wild Bow was left in the world, had Da Yi also fallen?

“Whoosh!”

Just as the arrow was about to hit Yao Guang Divine Lord, it was interfered with by an invisible force, causing the arrow to deviate significantly from its trajectory, missing its target and swiftly passing by Yao Guang Divine Lord.

Miss!

Huh?

Holy crap?

There was actually a miss in All Heavens.

Li Si was stunned.

It was the first time he had seen such a scene.

He didn’t believe it and fired a few more arrows consecutively.

Miss.

Miss.

Miss.

Without exception, all of them ended in a miss.

“My goodness.... How do I deal with this?”

Li Si found himself in a dilemma.

What if the damage was high?

If he couldn’t hit, he still couldn’t deal damage.

At this moment, Yao Guang Divine Lord’s consciousness slowly withdrew from his memories, looking at Li Si as if separated by a lifetime.

Once upon a time, he too was as youthful and full of hope as the young man before him.

“You are fated with me. Never mind, if you can touch my sleeve within an hour, you win.” As his voice fell, Yao Guang Divine Lord slowly closed his eyes.

“......”

He was being looked down upon.

Li Si was both speechless and helpless. Helpless because the other party was a Divine Lord, qualified to look down on him. Just as he himself, at this moment, didn’t even glance at Fengyun Heavy Cavalry.

However, no matter what, the outcome was good; at least he didn’t have to fight.

“Thank you, Divine Lord.”

Li Si concentrated his energy, charged up, and fired an arrow.

Miss.

It still failed to hit.

If ranged attacks didn’t work, he would try close combat.

He lunged forward, rushing to Yao Guang Divine Lord’s front, performing Phantom Sword Dance. In an instant, dozens of sword qi unleashed, slashing wildly at Yao Guang Divine Lord.

Miss.

Miss.

Miss.

Miss.

......

However, the result was still a uniform string of misses.

“....Damn.”

Li Si was completely speechless, a feeling of powerlessness surging in him for the first time. It was just a juvenile projection, and he was already helpless; what about the main body?

At this moment, he gained a deeper understanding of the power of gods.

“Heaven Rewards Diligence!!”

Li Si shouted in his heart, not wanting to give up just yet. He placed all his hope in the Limiter.

“Hit.”

“Hit.”

“Hit.”

“Come on, hit for me!!”

One strike, two strikes, three strikes....

Ten strikes, a hundred strikes, a thousand strikes....

Finally, at the 4000th strike, a system prompt refreshed—

“Ding!”

“Perseverance, ten thousand slashes, your heart is evident. Heaven Rewards Diligence, Hit (Accuracy) increased.”

“Accuracy permanently +1.”

......
