The four light beams flowed from the ground to the sky like countercurrent waterfalls. The originally dazzling sunlight in the hot summer seemed to be covered with a black veil, and the entire sky and clouds dimmed.
The beam of light was like the backbone holding up the sky, and like the four corners of the prison where Yang Facai was imprisoned. It trapped the monster that was like a hedgehog and kept thrusting out flesh-and-blood spears, and slowly retracted.
Although the distance between these four light pillars is slow, it is also getting shorter and shorter with great determination. Across the distance of half Haizhou City, when it is reflected in Yang Churan's eyes, it has turned into four shining lines. It was like a prison in her pupils.
She was already floating high in the sky, her arms stretched out, and her eyes lingering on her fingertips in a daze.
"This is...a feeling given by God."
The armor plates on Yang Churan's body were already burning with fire, but the fire looked strange and sticky, and his eyes were also shrouded in a strange haze.
But this does not affect her strength at the moment, which can be seen from Li Zai's eyes as if facing a powerful enemy.
He was standing in front of Han Dongwen, with fragments of light from his clone that had just been shattered by Yang Churan flying around him, like a burst of flying snow covering both him and Han Dongwen.
"Your Highness..."
Li Zai took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Isn't His Highness worried about Lieutenant Yang Churan?"
Han Dongwen's eyes did not look at Yang Churan, who was clearly dilated in front of him. Instead, he frowned and looked in the direction of the light beam on the other side of Haizhou City, concentrating on the battle flames igniting on the other side of Haizhou City.
"Worried."
Han Dongwen paused, but did not look back.
"But whether I worry about her or not, it's useless now. This is your problem."
He took a deep breath and stood up straighter: "The Tongque Order is here, Yang Churan can leave it to you."
"Your Highness, although Yang Churan and his subordinates are both captains of the National Army Department, right now she..."
"She's gotten stronger, I know."
Han Dongwen nodded slightly: "So it's very difficult for you to kill her now, and it's not your task. The reason why she became what she is now is all because of that."
Li Zai looked along Han Dongwen's raised hand and saw the light and fire in the south of the city.
"That's Director Jiang's aura, and there's also a very strong one..."
"god."
Han Dongwen softly uttered one word.
"Although he is a false god, Yang Churan's current state is as if he has received a gift from God. If I can survive this time, this power will no longer be used to plot against Simeng, but can protect the country and ensure peace. It allows Simeng to remain in history."
Having said this, Han Dongwen finally slowly turned his head and looked up at Yang Churan, who was exuding a strong aura of existence in mid-air as if he had become an immortal.
——————————
A few days ago, the Jade Palace looked almost like ruins.
"Given by God?"
Han Dongwen - Chi Hanyang looked at Gu Ya with a serious expression.
She was kneeling on the spot with her eyes closed, looking like she was praying.
I wonder who she is praying for right now?
Is it the God of West Asia, or the Bloodport Emperor who once gave her power?
Or is it the Gao whom she regards as a god?
"The power you had when you were in Haizhou Port was a divine gift given to you by the Blood Harbor Emperor who has already stepped into the divine level?"
Han Dongwen tried his best to understand many things that Gu Ya just said.
"And the reason why he is able to ascend to the divine level and has the hope of becoming a god is all because the second prince Gao asked you and Zhan Taiyi to assist him?"
Gu Ya still had her eyes closed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "That's right, otherwise, why do you think it has always been a bloody port for kings to fight for hegemony, and why is it suddenly dominated by his Peicang family?"
"This is the power of His Highness Gao."
She spoke with sincere pride. Han Dongwen took a deep breath and tried his best to sound normal:
"And now that I have become your, uh, Temperance Knight, I have given you the qualification to become a god. You no longer need to help Peicang become a god, but try it yourself?"
Gu Ya still closed her eyes and nodded: "You heard me very clearly."
"I understand. Tilda was qualified to become a god back then, so you are also qualified now."
Han Dongwen nodded: "So now you want me to follow you, join this royal court, and work for Taka's second prince, is that what you mean?"
Gu Ya frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied that this Simeng man spoke of this great cause in such a utilitarian manner.
But there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded slightly: "Yes, when I ascend to the divine level, the Emerald Royal Court will definitely..."
"I have two questions." Han Dongwen interrupted her immediately.
"What?" Gu Ya asked suppressing her anger.
"The first thing is, what are our plans now?"
Han Dongwen winked toward the outside of the room: "If I agree, that Simeng kid outside is a high-ranking official. This would be dereliction of duty at the least and treason at the worst. I will agree to you like this?"
The quaint and long eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally opened their eyes and looked sideways at Han Dongwen: "Treason? Simeng and that stupid king were also in the second prince's plan. If they can help the Jade Palace, they can protect Xiaoxiao in the future. What’s so difficult about a corner of Simeng?”
She stood up, lightly patted the dust on her knees, and stood in front of Han Dongwen.
This distance is already a little too close, and it is quite threatening.
"You are not treason, you are saving the entire Simeng."
"Originally, Simeng might have to be saved by your king ascending to the gods. Now, you also have this opportunity."
"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Her breath had blown on Han Dongwen's face, smelling like burnt ashes.
"Now, all we need is to get the gift back. The Chongyang Crown is placed in Simeng. Someone may want to get their hands on it again."
Gu Ya suddenly turned around, put her left hand on her right arm, and looked at the emerald green light flowing above: "It will take a few days before we can go back. I'm only worried about this."
"If someone uses the Double Ninth Crown to perform a divine gift, how will we deal with it then?"
Han Dongwen swallowed: "After all...after all, when you had the divine gift, you were much more powerful than before. To be honest, I don't even know how I defeated you when you had the divine gift."
"You didn't defeat me!"
Gu Ya said coldly.
"God's gift will only end if the god himself cannot support it any longer. If Peicang hadn't lost the chain, if it hadn't been for those Simeng carriers... forget it, when I step onto the divine level, I won't need anything. People give me divine gifts, and I can even act as a god to give you divine gifts. Don’t you yearn for it?”
Han Dongwen suddenly and sensitively refined the key points in Gu Ya’s words:
"So, the person who received the gift from God cannot stop it at all. The important thing is the God who gave him the gift, right?"
"That's right."
Gu Ya nodded indifferently: "You just said you have two questions. I have already answered you the first question. Next, we just have to wait until we can return to Simeng to get the Chongyang Crown. What is your second question?"
She does seem eager to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a Temperance Knight.
Han Dongwen took a deep breath, looked at Gu Ya's back, and asked softly:
"The second question is, why doesn't the second prince become this god himself?"
