“Little Na, I heard from the others that it was you who appeared at the most critical juncture to rescue An Lin. I’m extremely grateful.” Xu Xiaolan’s voice was filled with emotion and gratitude as she gazed at the fairy before her.
“Giant An Lin is my master, so it was only right for me to rescue him!” Tina said with a smile. She transformed back into her original form of a small fairy and sat on An Lin’s shoulder.
Xu Xiaolan felt joy from the bottom of her heart as she looked at the returned Tina.
“Little Na, has your Divine Mirror World successfully advanced? What’s your cultivation base now? Why can’t I sense your cultivation base?” Xu Xiaolan asked in curiosity.
Tina scratched her head and replied, “That um… I can just barely qualify as a God of Creation Stage divine being. It’s just that my powers are pretty much exhausted. I guess you can call me a fake Goddess of Creation.”
Even though she was so knowledgeable and experienced, Xu Xiaolan still couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing this. Her voice was trembling as she asked, “What… what did you say? You’re already a Goddess of Creation?”
Only a year had passed, yet Tina had already advanced from the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage to the God of Creation Stage?
What kind of joke was this?!
“Little Na’s situation is a bit more unique. She experienced a lot of peculiar things in the Divine Mirror World, and she’s also suffering from amnesia now,” An Lin explained. “Oh, that’s right. Little Na, let me introduce her to you. This is my dao partner, Xu Xiaolan.”
“Don’t worry, Giant An Lin, my memories are gradually returning. I can remember Sister Xiaolan.” Tina smiled as she greeted Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan felt like Tina’s experiences had completely turned her understanding of cultivation on its head.
She was extremely anxious as she asked about Tina’s situation, and she even activated her essential powers to check over Tina’s body. She was like a caring older sister.
However, it was a shame that she couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation. In the end, the three of them decided to return to Yue Tong City first.
News of An Lin’s return quickly spread throughout Yue Tong City. All of the beings in the city actively came out to welcome him. Meanwhile, all of the soldiers were teary-eyed with emotion.
They already knew that An Lin had been rescued, yet they were still wild with delight upon seeing him finally return.
“Welcome back, Heavenly Disciple!”
“God of War An Lin is invincible, and his might shall radiate through the heavens!”
The powerful beings all shouted in emotion.
Hundreds of millions of beings exited the city to welcome him back. This was a spectacular occasion, with soldiers from all kinds of different tribes stretching for as far as the eye could see.
They stood in a neat and organized formation as they either bowed in respect or raised their arms to shout in joy.
An Lin was already accustomed to such scenes. He started to wave and acknowledge the soldiers who had come out to welcome him back. However, even though he was accustomed to such scenes, it didn’t mean that he had become numb to them. Rather, he was feeling immensely moved.
Wasn’t the enthusiasm and adoration of these soldiers a recognition and affirmation of his actions?
Soldiers sacrificed themselves for those who acknowledged and understood them. This phrase was also a fitting description for An Lin.
These beings had resolutely decided to stay by his side even after it was revealed that he was the Heavenly Darkness God. They still trusted him, and they still regarded him as their paramount general. At this moment, An Lin knew that they were worthy of him fighting to his death.
An Lin’s return brought wild delight to Yue Tong City.
The Battling Buddha, Michael, Demon Lord Ling Gu, and the others all embraced An Lin emotionally. Their mission together had been extremely dangerous and deadly. In fact, their mission had almost ended in a tear-jerking tragedy. Fortunately, Tina had performed a miracle and successfully rescued An Lin from the clutches of death.
It was because of this that Tina’s name also traveled throughout the continent.
Rescuing An Lin from under the noses of the four Supreme Heavenly Gods was nothing short of a heaven-defying feat. In fact, her abilities were also described in extravagant and colorful terms by the super-mighty beings. In the end, almost all of them concluded that her power was profound and unfathomable.
After An Lin’s return, the other members of the God Slaying Team started to report what had happened after his escape. At this moment, An Lin finally figured out how things had ended.
The four Supreme Heavenly Gods had been furious at their failure to kill An Lin.
However, they hadn’t unleashed the flames of their fury on Yue Tong City. Instead, the Heavenly Heaven God, Heavenly Sea God, and Heavenly Life Goddess had unleashed their fury on the Heavenly Light Goddess.
The Heavenly Light Goddess naturally had to flee.
Meanwhile, the three other Supreme Heavenly Gods naturally had to give chase.
Just like that, the four Supreme Heavenly Gods started to run around as they battled. Theoretically speaking, the Heavenly Light Goddess shouldn’t have been powerful enough to escape from the three Supreme Heavenly Gods.
However, the Heavenly Light Goddess had suddenly issued an absolute command and caused almost half of the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army to rebel at the most critical juncture.
Indeed, the Heavenly Gods and Heavenly Humans who had once served the Heavenly Earth God suddenly turned their weapons on the three Supreme Heavenly Gods. Not only that, but they even self-detonated to buy time for the Heavenly Light Goddess!
During ordinary times, even the self-detonation of Heavenly Gods wouldn’t have been enough to buy any time.
However, that had been a self-detonation of tens of millions of Heavenly Humans!
This was a humongous number. As such, their united self-detonation was enough to trigger a qualitative change. This hadn’t included the three Heavenly Gods who had also participated in this self-detonation.
The Heavenly Temperature God, the Heavenly Slaughter God, and Heavenly God Xing Ji had all sacrificed themselves for the Heavenly Life Goddess.
At that moment, the entire sky of the Tai Chu Continent had been filled with the surging and tumultuous energy of their self-detonations. That had been an unbelievably spectacular and tragic scene. Even the hearts of the Heaven Crushing United Army had trembled upon seeing that. They couldn’t help but feel admiration.
To sacrifice themselves without hesitation for the Heavenly Light Goddess… Those Heavenly Humans were indeed resolute and worthy of respect.
It was precisely because of this sudden rebellion and self-detonation that the pursuit of the three Supreme Heavenly Gods had come across a huge obstruction.
The Heavenly Light Goddess had then found a weak point and unleashed her Heavenly Light Power to the extreme to escape from the clutches of the three Supreme Heavenly Gods…
The three Supreme Heavenly Gods had failed yet again.
They had become flustered and wild with rage, and they wanted to attack Yue Tong City to quench their fury. However, their True Forms of Dao had suddenly started to disappear because they had already activated it for too long. They had transformed back into ordinary Supreme Heavenly Gods again.
Initially, even ordinary Supreme Heavenly Gods should have been powerful enough to obliterate Yue Tong City. However, Nuwa had suddenly teleported Xu Xiaolan back to Yue Tong City. At the same time, Demon Emperor Si Yu still possessed the ability to unleash a God of Creation Stage combat capability for a short while. In fact, even the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue had appeared above the city walls of Yue Tong City.
This sudden change had caused the situation to become precarious again. There was no guarantee that the three Supreme Heavenly Gods could achieve victory. The three Supreme Heavenly Gods had already been dealt a string of defeats, so they had immediately suppressed their urge to battle upon seeing this. They then returned to the White Nectar Sea.
M-hm, more precisely, they had been beaten into a recluse. They didn’t want to deal with this situation anymore. Thus, they directly set up a formation to cut themselves off from the outside world. They weren’t willing to come out anymore.
The Central Heavenly Gate had been destroyed, the World Tree had been felled, the Three Forms Reincarnation True Heaven Formation plan had been sabotaged, the world of the Heavenly Life Goddess had been destroyed, and two of them had even been forced into activating their Three Forms Reincarnation True Heaven Formation. Their losses had been unimaginable. They had been dealt a soul-crushing blow.
The result?
They had activated their True Forms of Dao, yet they still failed to capture the Heavenly Light Goddess or kill either An Lin or Xu Xiaolan. In the end, they even failed to even destroy Yue Tong City…
They had unleashed their ultimate trump cards, yet they had achieved absolutely naught.
If they didn’t become recluses, then who would become a recluse?
