Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 58 Eat your food one bite at a time

From bright sunshine to the glow of sunset to the glittering starlight, the cycle repeats itself—this is companionship.

Li Wei rested his head on the Fire Keeper's lap, quietly gazing at the person in front of him. This kind of gentle older sister was someone he could only run with.

But a curious gaze coming from the third floor made Li Wei feel extremely awkward.

Don't you have any sense? Didn't you see that the boss is trying hard to win over your future boss's wife?

Li Wei glanced over with an impatient look and saw a small head sticking out from behind the stone railing, staring at him curiously.

Li Wei was taken aback. The young lady? Whether she was the daughter of the half-dragon Priscilla was a matter of much debate, but it didn't matter to Li Wei.

But if the young lady doesn't paint, why is she looking at my work?

The young lady noticed Li Wei's gaze and withdrew it. Then, Grandpa Gale appeared and waved to Li Wei, as if he had something to say.

After a difficult journey to leave the comfort of his home, he climbed to the third floor, where Grandpa Gale greeted Li Wei as soon as he saw him at the window.

Grandpa Gale clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and humbly flattered Li Wei.

"Thank you for taking in us, the homeless and the forbidden in the world of painting, a group of people living in the shadow of the flames, great Ash Lord."

Li Wei wasn't blinded by Gale's praise. Although Gale used the Ashes to rekindle the corrupted painted world in the game, he could still kill the dwarf kings who possessed the King's Soul before the Ashes arrived.

He then devoured them raw, using his own blood, fused with the King's Soul, to create new painting dyes for the young lady. He was truly ruthless, in every sense of the word.

He reached out and helped Mr. Gale up, then glanced strangely at the young lady who seemed quite afraid of him.

"There are no slaves here. I don't follow that kind of thing. There's no need to act all humble. Just tell me what you need. We can discuss anything and get it done."

After speaking, he looked at the young lady and asked softly.

"Am I that strange? Why are you afraid of me?"

"Grandpa Gale said you're dangerous. He saw you get a little girl to say she wanted to marry you. He told me to stay away from you."

The young lady paused for a moment and then continued in a low voice.

"Although I don't know what marriage means, you are very warm, but your fire is different from that of the nun. If you get too close, you will get burned."

Li Wei's eye twitched, and he glanced at the embarrassed old man, Gale.

"yes."

He was parasitized by a portion of the Primordial Fire Spirit, and since the young lady was a god, it was normal for her to feel that she was in danger.

The nun Friede that the young lady spoke of was not the weak nun she appeared to be, but an Ash.

She was also the founder of the Londor Black Church and the eldest daughter of the three Londor sisters.

Now, the undead are everywhere, and it is precisely because of this that the land of wandering spirits—Londor—has naturally grown wildly.

In the land of wandering spirits, Londor, the undead are what we call human, while corpses are merely products of incompatible souls of the living.

Wandering spirits and immortals are themselves symbols of qualitative change and deformity.

This is also Gwyn's fault. He feared the darkness, yet he created those who possessed darkness, the undead with the Dark Ring.

But for some reason, she refused her sisters' request to become the Queen of the Wanderers and escaped into the secluded world of paintings.

And she stayed peacefully in the church as Father Ariandel's nun.

Grandpa Gale was surprised that his young mistress would blurt out everything. He coughed awkwardly twice, pretending not to hear, and said to Li Wei.

"Please forgive my presumption, Father Aleide wishes to see you, but he cannot move because he is suppressing the flames, so please go to the world of painting to continue."

The priest is not human, but a demi-human race called the Crow People, who are also one of the forces in the world of painting.

Li Wei scratched his head. The crow people were fine, but Li Wei didn't want to get involved with the troublesome Londor gang who had been tricked by the Abyss Serpent. They didn't even realize what era it was now, the apocalypse, yet they were still thinking about plunging the world into darkness and establishing a true kingdom of wandering souls.

Wanting to build a country where no one dies and no one is discriminated against is fine, but the problem is that there are no living people left now. What kind of country are you building, and why do you have to usurp the throne?

If the immortals were living people, the fire would have been extinguished, but since they are all immortals, why should they be plunged into darkness? Why should they all be devoured by the insects in the abyss that are shouting and munching on food, turning into dung and collectively dying and catching a cold?

If it really comes to that, in the end nothing will be left in this world except the abyss.

If you ask Li Wei, Gwyn and the Abyss are both too extreme. One is the sun that doesn't want to set, and the other is darkness that shrouds the whole world. They're both fucking insane.

Most importantly, he himself had been parasitized by the Primordial Fire Spirit, so he didn't need to wield the fire at all. As for extinguishing the fire... Li Wei felt that he hadn't lived enough yet. He just needed to find enough worlds and connect them together.

As long as there are enough people, and each person dies normally every day, giving them a little bit of their soul, raising a primordial fire spirit is a piece of cake.

The world of Dark Souls is very complex. For example, the Dark Shadow on the second sister's weapon was a weapon belonging to the Gravekeeper in the second generation, and the Gravekeeper belonged to the Grave Lord's faction. So, not wanting to pull out a radish covered in mud as soon as he went there, Li Wei said.

"There's no need to meet. If the crow people want to join, I won't refuse and will give them a thousand spots as well."

As for the rest, forget it. I don't intend to have any excessive contact with any forces, nor will I join any force.

If you want to find a place to stay, the outside world is vast, and I should be able to find you a place to move.

"Do me a favor, spread the word that if anyone has a Spiral Sword, I can add a thousand more slots. Humanity or souls are also acceptable."

Li Wei believed that Grandpa Gale, a man who had lived for who knows how long, knew what he was saying and what he meant. He left the rest to Gale, turned around, and waved goodbye to the two.

I went back and sat with the Fire Keeper for a while, looking around at the different worlds and wondering where to run.

There's no need for the Thief Saint world. Shopping is fine, but if it comes to causing trouble, Li Wei doesn't want to get hit by the True God's Staff every time he goes there.

I will go to the cyber world, but not now. I need to get a spiral sword first.

So only two remain: Biohazard and Kroc.

So Li Wei planned to first go to the Kree World to get a large sum of gold, and then go to the Biohazard World to do some small arms dealing with the Black Uncle.

After that, we'll take down Night City, loot it thoroughly, and get better equipment. Then we can talk about taking down the Biohazard World. We have to take things one step at a time.

Li Wei returned to the world of Klaus, collected his share, and planned to take a look at Goto.

He knocked on the door, and Goto opened it with his eyes lighting up. He grabbed Li Wei and hugged him tightly, rubbing against him.

With the steamed bun pressed against his brother, Li Wei had never experienced anything like this before. This little devil had only ever been all talk and no action.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

He tried to push the person away, but to his surprise, he couldn't move them. His heart sank.

He muttered to himself, "We're doomed."
