After using the Star World, Ron gained access to it. The Guardian said, "Now you need to use the next item to activate the Lotus Soul Technique. Just infuse your energy into the item, then it will fuse with your mind."
Ron did as the Guardian instructed. As he activated the Lotus Soul in his mind, he started to feel a peaceful calm in his heart, leaving all worries behind.
This time, the technique not only strengthened Ron's soul but also fortified the soul connection between Ron and his Guide. With this, Ron began to feel a deeper connection between him and her.
The Guardian said, "With this technique, you can not only feel her emotions, but you can also pinpoint her location and share your soul power with her."
Ron tried to search for her using the soul technique, but he could only sense the sorrow and sadness filling her soul.
The Guardian explained, "Her soul is damaged now. You can only feel her emotions since she is unconscious. My time is over; I won't return until you need me or someone tampers with the lower stages of the tower."
With that, the Guardian disappeared before him.
Ron's curiosity peaked when he learned that he possessed an item even middle-level gods did not have. He attempted to project his soul into the Star World. However, his current strength was insufficient to access it.
Ron realized he needed more soul power, which could only be obtained by reaching the Fifth Circle Mana Heart. However, according to the Evolution Technique's memories, Ron could acquire this soul power at the Nascent Soul Realm, which he could achieve by enduring three thunder tribulations. This would allow him to form a baby soul within himself, a crucial step to unlocking another skill connected to the Evolution Technique.
Checking his status, Ron saw he was powerful enough to reach the 21st floor. Still, he wished to venture deeper into the tower to earn another Return Voucher as a reward for his contributions. Without hesitation, he opened the portal to the 12th floor and entered.
Upon arrival, Ron received a quest notification:
Ding! Protect the village from bandits.
Summoned before a village, Ron approached, only to be met with distrustful glares from the villagers, who assumed he was one of the bandits. While he pondered how to clear up the misunderstanding, a villager stepped forward and asked his name and purpose for coming to the village.
Ron replied, "I only wish to protect this village, nothing more. If you don't want me to enter, I'll respect that. But when the bandits arrive, I will face them myself. Focus on protecting yourselves instead of worrying about the village borders—I'll take care of that."
The villagers pressed further, asking why he wanted to help them. Ron answered, "The God has sent me to defeat the bandits when they come."
Using his All-Seeing Eye, Ron's calm words began to ease the villagers' fear. His sincerity gave them hope and, for the first time, replaced their fear with a cautious sense of trust. They soon approach Ron and ask, "Are you a guardian? Which god has sent you here?"
Ron replies, "I have come to rescue you under the order of a god I don't even know. I'm not a believer, but I'll handle this trouble for you."
Hearing Ron's words, the villagers feel reassured and return to the village, comforted by the strong and positive aura he radiates.
That night, the bandits arrive at the village, searching for the guards. However, Ron has already severed the heads of each bandit with precision, leaving only one alive. He questions the surviving bandit for information about the remaining bandit camps. Armed with this knowledge, Ron sets out to eliminate all the bandit camps, wasting no time in sweeping through them.
Ding! You have obtained a C-rank skill memory.
Ron gathers all the equipment he found in the bandit camps and returns to his room in the Star World. He throws the equipment onto the altar, and suddenly, the room begins to change on its own, now connected to the Star World.
Ding! The room has upgraded.
Ding! All rooms have been upgraded by one level.
Ron's room has acquired new permissions.
Now he can let someone enter into his room.
Ron's journey has Just started to get more interesting.
