"Rune. Its essence should be the embodiment of the blessing of the Golden Law to the Golden People."

Heather took the golden light and found that it could not be integrated into her body like in the game. It just floated in her palm:

"I am neither a Faded One nor a Golden Chosen One. It seems that I cannot use Rune to strengthen myself."

"Do you need me to find a template for you to simulate?"

Nanami's Jianjigu allows her to simulate almost all the skills and even physiques she has seen. If she can find a Faded One, she may be able to use Jianjigu to allow Heather to have the power of fused runes.

In response, Heather simply waved her hand: "Forget it dear, this faded one is not a serious excellent physique. If you really want to join the game for Rune, you will be in the trap of the Supreme Will."

Nanashi asked curiously, "What is the Supreme Will? The true God of this world?"

"Well, I haven't finished the game, I only played a small part, and I have only a vague understanding of the plot settings. I rely entirely on the text in the game to understand. In my opinion, the Supreme Will is the supreme god of this world called 'Junction'. He sent 'Finger' as a messenger to the Junction to convey His will. Everything in the Junction is running according to His ideas."

"The Supreme God is so powerful, and this is a Level 9 world, why haven't we seen Him come down to earth to deal with you, a foreigner who doesn't belong to the border area?"

Nanami tapped her chin lightly with her fingers:

“In my opinion, perhaps the Supreme Will’s control over the border area is not as deep as you think, or there may be some communication problems between Him and the agents of the border area.

Otherwise, no god would intentionally mess up their chosen land and decouple the cycle of death and life."

"You are just making wild guesses. How can the game text fool me?"

Heather disagrees:

"How about we make a bet on whether the Supreme Will has complete control over the border area?"

"Let's make a bet." Nanami nodded without hesitation: "If I win the bet by chance, you are not allowed to linger around and indulge in love affairs in this world and the next two worlds."

"If I win, you have to sing the 'Hero Song' for me every day, with great emotion. Also, I have never been promiscuous, so don't slander my innocence out of thin air!"

"Innocence is an unattainable luxury for you, just like the label you give yourself has the word 'dirty' in it."

"That's the label you put on me, not myself!"

The two men kept walking while bickering, quickly crossing the forest path and coming to the edge of a cliff.

What comes into view is a vast expanse of wasteland with old buildings standing everywhere. Although they have long been dilapidated, the luxurious architectural style still shows their former glory.

The fields, woodlands, lakes, and huge cliffs everywhere are no match for the magnificent spectacle that appears on the other side of the extremely distant shore.

A golden tree that reaches to the sky and blots out the heavens.

Its branches extend endlessly toward the horizon, and the dazzling golden light gathers into streams of light that entwine and flow between the branches. The dazzling glow is both the blessing of Rune and the reflection of the sun.

Qishi stood there quietly for a while, then slowly said: "I understand, this tree is the foundation of all the laws of the borderland."

"How to say?"

"In this world, life force manifests itself in the form of 'runes' and exists in the bodies of all blessed creatures. When the recipients die, they do not enter the death cycle as we know it, but instead return the blessing representing their life to the golden tree.

When we return, we are accompanied by blessings and souls.

Perhaps the golden light flowing between the branches of the golden tree is the sign that guides the soul back home."

Nanashi explained.

Heather raised her eyebrows and looked at the huge golden tree. "So, for the people of the borderland, only when their souls return to the golden tree can they be considered dead. What about their bodies after death?"

Nanashi squatted down and touched the ground, picked up a handful of soil and rolled it with his fingers:

“If it is a tree, it must have roots.

If one wants to return to the golden tree, then the burial method must be as close to the tree roots as possible, allowing the tree roots to pull the soul in the flesh into the golden tree.

In this way, every root of the Golden Tree has the potential to become an underground cemetery."

Heather disagreed: "But I have met souls in the game, and I have obtained ashes that can summon souls to fight for me. Why weren't these souls sucked away by the golden tree?"

"On the one hand, it's because the Golden Tree's 'return cycle' had a huge, irreparable malfunction, which caused the bodies of the headless gentlemen to age and decay, but their souls could not rest in peace. Their souls had nowhere to go and couldn't even leave their bodies.

On the other hand, returning to the Golden Tree cannot be the only way to die. An unexpected death far from the tree's roots may allow the soul to escape the pull of the Golden Tree."

Nanami dropped the dirt in her hands onto the ground and wiped her hands on Heather's clothes.

"It's useless for us to make random guesses here. Why don't we go find someone who knows the reason and ask him?"

Heather's eyes lit up: "Good idea. It just so happens that I know someone in this land who must know many secrets. After all, that person is a descendant of the royal family."

"That lord?"

"Of course it's our great Greg! The king who holds the fragment of the Great Rune, the descendant of Golden Godwin, the legitimate descendant of the Golden Clan, and the limb-jointing emperor who reigns over the city of Stonewell!"

Heather recited Greg's many names incessantly, as if reciting an opera.

"Limb reattachment?" Qishi was keenly aware of the key words in Heather's words.

"When you meet him, you'll know what I mean. Now, we need to do a little 'dressing up'."

Heather snapped her fingers, and a large number of figures suddenly appeared around her.

The twelve Knights of the Round Table stood quietly beside him, ready to take orders at any time.

"My knights, I want you to spread my fame in this land called Nimgefor and look for two people.

One of them was named Melina, a beautiful girl with short hair.

The other is named Blaze, a lone warrior who is half man, half wolf.

Come, take the fire from me, and you will have the possibility to acquire weapons and strengthen yourself.

This world is a rare ninth-level world. Whether it is weapons, armor, shields, or even combat skills and magic, I think they can definitely satisfy your urgent desire to become stronger."

Hearing Heather's order, Lancelot, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face with melancholy. He led the Knights of the Round Table to half-kneel on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"Please rest assured that we will do our best to make ourselves the sharpest blade in your hands that can defeat powerful enemies."

As Heather's strength soared, the Knights of the Round Table could no longer keep up with her. Both King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table urgently hoped that they could become stronger and fight for Heather.

"I believe in you, let's go."

Heather nodded and looked at King Arthur who was leaning on the huge cross sword not far away:

"Your Majesty, how about coming with me to Stonewell City to meet the emperor who rules this land?"
