Chapter 1132 The Huge Gap
Ye Ge looked at the red divine soul in her hand, which was as lively as a flame, and then glanced at Long Ying, Li Shuying, and Bai Qing: "This time, the divine soul of this eleventh-level priest... Long Ying, Shuying, and Bai Qing, the three of you will absorb the power of this divine soul."
Long Ying asked in confusion, "Absorbing the power of the divine soul?"
“The Fire Spirit Priest is an eleventh-rank priest. If the three of you share the power equally, you can obtain divine power equivalent to a tenth-rank priest.” Ye Ge explained simply: “Yu Li and Nangong Hanhan, that’s how they obtained their divine power.”
Nangong Qiuyue raised her little fist and waved it in protest: "I'm not silly!"
However, no one paid attention; her voice was automatically filtered out by the crowd.
“We are not from the Temple of the High Priests, nor are we devout believers in the gods.” Long Ying frowned slightly: “So we can actually obtain divine power?”
"Of course." Ye Ge looked at Gao Shenxue: "As long as Xue'er helps you absorb this divine power, there will be no problem."
Li Shuying then said, "Lord Yege, such a good thing should be used by your brothers and sisters, Lord Ye Yulong and Lord Ye Qingxin, first."
"..." Ye Yang touched his nose: "The rest of us are demonized humans. Even if we absorbed it, we probably wouldn't be able to use this thing, right?"
“Hmm,” Ye Ge said, “They possess such concentrated demonic power that absorbing their souls is practically suicide.”
"...Is that so...I'm sorry..." Li Shuying thought to herself, she had originally thought that Lord Ye Yulong and the others could be like Lord Ye Ge...
Ye Ge didn't actually finish what she was saying.
Ye Qingxin and the others probably don't know the true history of the Ye family yet, nor do they know that the power they possess is not actually demonic power, but rather the blood of a human-demon hybrid!
Ye Ge planned to tell them after she had truly figured things out on this trip.
Ye Ge turned to look at Gao Shenxue: "Xue'er."
Gao Shenxue understood immediately and nodded slightly: "Mm."
After Long Ying, Li Shuying, and Bai Qing absorbed the power of the divine soul with the help of Gao Shenxue, a misty, dark red divine energy swirled around the three girls, just like when Yu Li and the others absorbed the divine power before.
"This is divine power?" Li Shuying opened her palm, a wisp of crimson divine power dancing in her hand, carrying a warm and boundless sense of power. Her eyes were filled with novelty and a hint of bewilderment. "It really feels so different from soul power..."
Night Song cautioned, "However, we should still keep our ability to control divine power low-key and avoid showing it off to outsiders, especially those in the Temple of the Gods. Don't use it unless absolutely necessary. If people find out that so many of us can obtain divine power directly without going through the gods... it will cause a lot of trouble, you know what I mean."
"Yes!" Li Shuying: "We understand, sir."
Long Ying stared at the faint light swirling around her fingertips, remaining silent for a long time before whispering, "To obtain divine power directly, bypassing the gods... This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing."
"First time?" Ye Ge reached out and pinched her cheek: "You forgot? I could do it too."
"First time?" Ye Ge chuckled, reaching out to pinch her smooth cheek as if out of habit. "You forgot? But I could do it too?"
Long Ying looked up at him, her amber eyes filled with an unquestionable certainty: "You are an exception. I wouldn't be surprised by anything that happens to you."
“Speaking of which,” Ye Mengyu said, tilting her head as she held the teddy dog, “if the people from the Temple of the High Priests come to hold us accountable, how are we going to explain this?”
Ye Yang snorted lightly, with a hint of disdain: "They broke into our Ye family without permission, and you have the nerve to hold them accountable?"
“No matter what, they are still people from the Temple of the Gods, and they represent the gods.” Ye Qingxin thought to himself, “Moreover, the Five Elements Gods have a special status. Killing them is a hundred times more serious than killing ordinary gods.”
"Um......"
Ye Ge fell into deep thought.
indeed.
This time is different from the last time he killed the Water Spirit Priest. That time it happened in the Azure Dragon Palace, and no one knows who killed him.
But this time it's different; the Fire Spirit Priest truly died at the hands of the Ye family...
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Anyway, they have no evidence." Ye Ge looked at everyone: "If they ask, just insist you've never seen it, understand?"
Everyone nodded solemnly, their expressions serious: "Understood!"
......
Night falls, in the imperial palace.
Long Ying returned to her palace, a hint of weariness barely perceptible between her brows.
"Your Majesty, you've returned." The maid Xiaoqing bowed respectfully. "The ministers discussed the matter of restarting the Myriad Races Summit today..."
“I am already aware of this,” Long Ying interrupted her, her voice carrying the detachment of an emperor. “This matter has been entrusted to Minister Ye Ge for handling; there is no need for further discussion.”
“…Yes.” Xiaoqing thought to herself, His Majesty really relies on and trusts Lord Yege…
Long Ying sat alone at the desk, the candlelight flickering and illuminating her thoughtful profile.
"Your Majesty, you seem to have something on your mind?" Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask softly.
"...It's nothing." Long Ying waved his hand dismissively. "I'm going to take a bath and rest."
"Yes, this servant will go prepare the hot pool right away." Xiaoqing quietly withdrew.
A moment later, the steamy bathroom was filled with mist.
Long Ying removed her elaborate imperial robes, revealing her smooth, fair, and flawless body, and slowly stepped into the warm bath.
She sat down against the pool wall, immersing her long neck and delicate collarbone completely in the water, letting the warmth envelop her entire body. She tilted her head back, water droplets sliding down her wet hair.
Long Ying stared unfocused at the water droplets condensing from the steam dripping from the dome of the bathroom.
In my mind, the scene of my battle with Takashi Yuki in the virtual space during the day kept replaying uncontrollably...
......
“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”
The deafening explosion, like a continuous barrage of thunder, swept across the entire virtual plain!
The lingering smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a scene of utter devastation.
Long Ying knelt on one knee on the scorched earth, her hands gripping the hilt of her red crystal sword to support her swaying body, panting heavily.
Countless fragments of crimson crystals were scattered around her, reflecting the blood-red light of the setting sun. The once majestic, mountain-like crimson crystal dragon now lay forlornly, only half its head remaining. Its massive body, a hundred times stronger than diamond, had long since been pulverized by an unparalleled destructive force, reduced to shimmering wreckage scattered across the ground for a hundred meters in radius!
She was in disbelief.
The body strength and hardness of the red crystal dragon are more than a hundred times that of diamond! I never expected it to be destroyed like this!
The source of all this was standing quietly thirty meters away.
High snow.
Her stunningly tall figure perfectly blocked the massive setting sun slowly sinking on the western side of the plain. The blood-red afterglow gilded her silhouette with a burning gold edge, and against the light, her cool and beautiful face was hidden in shadow, with only her calm and undisturbed eyes clearly visible.
Behind her, a colossal, suffocatingly large mechanical legion stood silently. The menacing war mechs resembled steel mountains, the various mechanical behemoths exuded a chilling oppressive aura, and mechanical air soldiers almost filled the entire sky… The setting sun's afterglow spilled across this torrent of metal, staining the cold steel with a tragic and awe-inspiring golden-red hue, creating a powerfully impactful apocalyptic scene where technology and destruction intertwined.
