Chapter 232 -162: Wisely taking the stargazer, treasure in memory_1

‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ remained within the ‘Star Altar’, despite being attacked multiple times, he didn’t respond with counterattacks.

Instead, it continuously invited him to enter the Star Altar and sign the pledge…

“Could it be that the Stargazer is not as strong as it seems and only appears powerful with the support of the Star Altar’s authority. It wants to lure me into the Altar so it can kill me, the deserter from the Altar.”

Lin Xun suspected this was likely the case, but just to be sure, he decided to proceed with caution.

Returning to the original text, the three options had not disappeared.

Without hesitation, he pressed the third option … Insult.

[You hide within ‘Knowledge Grating’, loudly ridiculing the Stargazer in the Altar that the ‘Bright Stars’ were nothing more than defeated strays, their powers exploited by the ‘Almighty True Knowledge’.]

[It dares to mention the mighty power of ‘Bright Stars’, truly shameless.]

[‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ on hearing this, is greatly enraged, seemingly wanting to argue but not knowing how to refute…]

[It coldly looks at you, boldly declaring that you will still die under the mighty power of the ‘Bright Stars’.]

[However, for some reason, even enraged as it is, it still has not initiated an attack on you.]

Lin Xun smiled faintly, things were going as he had anticipated!

He insulted the Bright Stars and yet, the Stargazer still stayed in the Altar unwilling to take action.

From this, it could be concluded that the Stargazer either did not have a means to attack or its attacks could only be initiated on someone within the Altar.

[You continue with the mockery, it hides in the shell provided by the ‘Bright Stars’, refusing to come out. Dare it to face you, and you promise you will send it on its way to the ‘Bright Stars’.]

[Seeing you’ve seen through the authority of the ‘Star Altar’ and its own weakness, ‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ coldly states that even if you have seen through everything, you are incapable of harming it.]

[As long as it stays within the Altar, you don’t have the power to break through the defense of the ‘Twilight of the Stars’.]

[But if you dared to enter the Altar, you would be faced with the fear of confronting the many Stars. Even without its own considerable power, it just needs to let you sink into fear; you will naturally die.]

[Crossing its arms, ‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ just stares at you coldly.]

Lin Xun furrowed his brows.

Indeed, just like the Stargazer stated, despite seeing through everything, neither his Knowledge Magic nor Starlight Magic, not even his eye’s special abilities could be used to attack within the Altar.

Maintaining this standstill here was simply a meaningless waste of time.

In this seemingly gridlocked situation, the only option was to continue distancing himself from the Altar, allowing the illusion to reject him, hence escaping the illusion.

But, Lin Xun still felt there should be other ways to deal with the Stargazer.

He couldn’t help scratching his head, pondering hard to find a solution.

But after half a day of musing, he still had nothing.

[‘Up-Looking Stargazer’, observing your prolonged silence, once again encourages you to enter the Altar, stating that as long as you embrace the ‘Bright Stars’ it would happily forget past grievances…]

[Will you take up its invitation to enter the ‘Star Altar’ and sign the pledge of the ‘Bright Stars’?]

Lin Xun knew such tricks all too well and simply shrugged it off as nonsense.

Due to the game mechanics, he was unable to join the pledge of ‘Bright Stars’ once again.

Needless to say, the Stargazer too was aware of the unwritten rule that oath-breakers were forbidden from rejoining the pledge. It was obvious it just wanted to lure him into the Altar and kill him.

Lin Xun went back to what he knew and proceeded to open his inventory, searching for clues within.

However, after glancing through his items, none of them seemed to resolve his current dilemma.

Suddenly, his eyes lightened as he came across an insignificant item collecting dust.

He stroked his chin in thought. Although using this item wasn’t a sure-fire way of breaking the deadlock, it wasn’t exactly rare so it was worth a shot.

[You inhabit the shell of the ‘Fallen Earth Giant’!]

The shell of the Earth Giant was best suited for close-quarters combat, which made it ideal for his upcoming plan.

Facing the relentless invitations from the Stargazer, Lin Xun suddenly pressed ‘Yes’, agreeing to enter the Altar.

[‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ continues to invite you to the Altar… In a shocking turn of events, you openly agree to enter, rendering it stunned.]

[It stands there in shock as you approach the Altar, only to be stopped again by the ‘Twilight of the Stars’…]

[‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ mocks you, certainly you don’t expect it to remove the ‘Twilight of the Stars’ so you can launch a surprise attack and kill it?]

[It waves a hand and the Starlight across the sky flickers as what stood like an iron wall in front of you, the ‘Twilight of the Stars’, becomes as soft as a water curtain.]

[The ‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ assures you, that while you may cast magic spells and attacks they will still be blocked outside the Altar, nonetheless, your shell may now pass through the ‘Twilight of the Stars’ and into the Altar.]

[It looks at you derisively, clearly not believing you will dare to enter the ‘Star Altar’.]

[Will you continue forward?]

Lin Xun paid no attention to the Stargazer’s provocations.

He opened up his inventory, made all necessary preparations, and resolutely pressed ‘Yes’.

[You take a step forward, passing through the water-like ‘Twilight of the Stars’, and enter ‘Star Altar’…]

[Huge lone eye of the ‘Up-Looking Stargazer’ sparkled cruelly!]

[With a wave of its hand, a few stars in the night sky appeared to enlarge a billion times, becoming within reach…]

Simultaneously, Lin Xun quickly used the item.

[Your vision is filled with immense Stars that seemed at arm’s length, filling the entire night sky. Regardless of whether you like it or not, anytime you open your eyes, your gaze will be attracted to the Stars closing in at steady pace…]
