A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 195 The Golden Wheel of Merit

Ji Lin frowned, gently massaging his temples with both hands, trying to recall everything he had experienced in Silent Hill.

His mind was filled with only fragmented pieces, his memories shrouded in a fog.

Ji Lin vaguely remembered that at that time, some strange and sharp sounds came without warning, piercing straight through his body and frantically attacking his soul.

The pain was indescribable, and he couldn't help but scream. However, after this desperate scream, everything went black before his eyes, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Oh right! What about Xinghai?" Ji Lin suddenly slapped his forehead, finally remembering that in the crucial moment before losing consciousness, he had quickly put Xinghai into the system space.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly opened the system space, where he saw Xinghai lying quietly in the shape of a fan. When Ji Lin took it out, Xinghai instantly transformed into a human form and appeared in front of him.

At this moment, Ji Lin, Xing Hai, and Huan Er sat together and began to carefully review their Silent Hill journey.

Huan'er recalled, "At that time, I was wearing the Wind Eagle Armor and fiercely fighting against the terrifying monsters summoned by Alessa's evil spirit power."

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, as if the whole world was about to collapse.

"Then, those ferocious monsters vanished without a trace in an instant. Before I could react, I saw an incredibly huge evil god slowly emerge."

"That guy exuded a suffocatingly evil aura that sent chills down my spine. I dared not be careless for a moment, so I quickly found a relatively safe corner to hide in and searched for you all."

Before long, Huan'er spotted a figure shining with dazzling light—the gigantic Ultimate Emperor Armor.

It was as if a god had descended, exuding boundless majesty and domineering aura. Then the two engaged in an earth-shattering battle, with sparks flying and lightning flashing.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the Ultimate Emperor Armor defeated and destroyed the terrifying evil god with its overwhelming power, bringing this thrilling battle to a close.

The fierce battle finally came to an end, leaving the battlefield a scene of devastation filled with smoke.

After witnessing the Ultimate Emperor Armor completely defeat and destroy the evil god with overwhelming force, Huan'er rushed anxiously to the center of the battlefield.

When she arrived, she saw Ji Lin lying there unconscious, all alone, surrounded by nothing but wreckage and dust.

Huan'er quickly squatted down and gently shook Ji Lin's body, trying to wake him up, but Ji Lin did not respond.

Since Xinghai and Huan'er were special rewards given to Ji Lin by the system, they were both fully aware of Ji Lin's existence and the system's existence.

Moreover, it is precisely because of this system that Xinghai and Huan'er have always remained loyal and never betrayed each other.

Ji Lin slowly opened his eyes and listened as Xinghai and Huan'er recounted in detail what had just happened.

Suddenly, an astonishing thought flashed through his mind—"I'll play as a substitute!" This thought made him secretly excited.

Then, Ji Lin said to Xinghai and Huan'er, "I need some time to think things through alone. You two can go out now."

Xinghai and Huan'er exchanged a glance. Although they had some doubts, they nodded obediently and then silently left the bedroom.

After the two left, only Ji Lin remained in the room. He sat on the edge of the bed, muttering to himself, "The real deal was done by me! Hahahaha, I really didn't expect this..."

After careful review, Ji Lin finally figured out everything that happened during his coma.

When he lost consciousness, the Five Elements Bloodline in his body automatically triggered a protective mechanism. At the same time, the consciousness of the legendary Emperor Armor suddenly descended, like an indestructible shield, protecting Ji Lin's fragile body.

After Ji Lin had fully understood the cause and effect of the matter, he immediately thought of retrieving the light and shadow stone of the Wind Eagle Armor that he had previously stored with Huan'er.

He eagerly awaited to see if the Emperor Armor's true consciousness had left any important information for him.

However, to his disappointment, no matter how repeatedly he examined the light and shadow stone, or even delved into the five elements of his own bloodline, he could not find any information left by the Emperor's Armor.

At this point, Ji Lin realized that continuing to dwell on this would be futile, so he decisively abandoned the idea.

He then began to examine how much merit he had gained from the Silent Hill operation.

When he concentrated his mind and mobilized all his magical power to perceive the merits on his body, the scene before him left him speechless!

He seemed to have transformed into a statue meticulously sculpted from pure gold, his entire body shimmering with a dazzling and rich golden light.

Such a magnificent scene filled Ji Lin with joy, because judging from the current situation, he felt that he already possessed the ability to attempt to condense the Golden Wheel of Merit.

With that in mind, Ji Lin took out the Merit Mantra from the system space without hesitation.

After carefully studying and comprehending the Merit Law, Ji Lin repeatedly checked it several times to ensure that he had not missed any key points or had any misunderstandings.

When everything was in perfect order, he took a deep breath and began to prepare to condense the legendary Golden Wheel of Merit.

As Ji Lin uttered a deep and obscure incantation, it seemed to have triggered some mysterious power.

Suddenly, outside the once peaceful apartment, on the distant horizon, the thick, lead-like clouds seemed to be slowly and firmly parted by a giant hand hidden in nothingness.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light, like a surging torrent, poured down with unstoppable force, instantly coating the entire world with a layer of sacred golden radiance.

At this moment, Ji Lin's aura was surging violently like a raging sea.

He kept his eyes tightly closed, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he was completely unaware of it. Every muscle in his body was taut, as if he was enduring unimaginable and terrifying pressure.

Just then, mysterious runes slowly rose from his clenched palm. These runes shimmered with a strange and dazzling light, like a mysterious oracle from ancient times.

They intertwined and collided with each other in the air, occasionally emitting crisp and melodious sounds.

Gradually, these runes began to converge and outline a blurry shape above Ji Lin's head.

The outline seemed to possess a life of its own, greedily absorbing the golden light that permeated the surroundings, and as time passed, it became clearer and more solid.

Finally, amidst the continuous flow of light, a golden wheel radiating dazzling golden light slowly took shape.

The golden wheel was like a priceless treasure, its edges intricately carved with countless ancient and profound patterns.

These patterns seem to be traces left by time, each one carrying the weight of history and endless mysterious power. They are like agile little snakes, winding and swimming on the surface of the golden wheel, occasionally emitting a faint but heart-stirring light.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the runes leap and jump like twinkling stars in the night sky.

They pulsate with a wondrous rhythm, as if telling the world about the unknown mysteries of the deep universe.

Above the golden wheel, auspicious energy permeated the air, with thousands of auspicious rays intertwining to create a magnificent and colorful picture.

Auspicious light shone forth in countless rays, piercing the sky like sharp swords and illuminating the entire world.

The power of merit transformed into tangible golden threads, continuously converging from all directions, including the distant sky, the vast land, and the unfathomable ocean.

These golden threads danced lightly, like ribbons in a fairy's hand, fluttering and falling into the golden wheel.

As more and more merit was poured into it, the golden wheel began to radiate an even more dazzling light. This light was like the rising sun, hot and intense, instantly enveloping the entire world in a brilliant splendor.

Under this light, everything in the world became exceptionally peaceful and serene.

The once noisy and restless birds and beasts quieted down, enjoying the warmth and tranquility; the flowers, grasses and trees thrived under the nourishment of the light, exuding vitality; and the mountains and rivers seemed to be given life, rushing and flowing joyfully.

At the same time, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was powerfully attracted and began to surge wildly.

Like a surging tide, they roared towards the golden wheel. As they approached, the spiritual energy rapidly swirled around it, forming an enormous vortex of spiritual energy.

The vortex spun faster and faster, growing larger and larger, with a constant, deep rumbling sound emanating from within, as deafening as thunder.

Gradually, the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling faintly emanated from the vortex.

The voice was sometimes high-pitched and passionate, resounding through the sky; at other times it was melodious and lingering.

It was as if the divine beasts of heaven and earth had sensed the powerful aura of this condensed golden wheel of merit, and were excitedly cheering and shouting in support.

Ji Lin had his eyes tightly closed, but suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly opened them!

At that very moment, a dazzling light flashed from the depths of his eyes, as striking as lightning piercing the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar erupted from his mouth: "Gather!"

With this shout, the Golden Wheel of Merit, which was not yet fully formed, suddenly burst forth with endless golden radiance, completely condensing into a huge and dazzling circular halo.

At the same time, a deafening buzzing sound rang out, like a great bell or the roar of a dragon or the howl of a tiger. Its penetrating power was simply unbelievable, as if it could directly penetrate the barrier of time and space, spreading this awe-inspiring sound throughout the vast world.

The golden wheel of merit began to slowly rotate. Although the speed was not fast, it carried a steady and unstoppable momentum.

With each rotation, an extremely powerful energy wave is released from the golden wheel, spreading in all directions.

Wherever these energies passed, the pervasive darkness receded rapidly like a tide, and the evil hidden within retreated in terror, daring not to confront them head-on.

Nourished by this powerful force, all things in the world have been given a renewed vitality.

The vegetation grew even greener and more lush, and the flowers bloomed even more beautifully; the birds and beasts also seemed energetic and full of vitality.

Even the mountains and rivers seemed to be affected by this force, flowing more freely, and the peaks appeared even more majestic and magnificent.
