581: The oil is exhausted and the lamp is extinguished, the holy light thunders

Elf World.

Qin Yang limped towards the World Tree.

By this point, his stamina was completely depleted.

He was almost entirely relying on willpower to maintain the Human Emperor Avatar.

“Yang Jian was too earnest.”

“When he said ‘fake it till you make it,’ he truly held nothing back.”

“If Chi You hadn’t assisted, I wouldn’t have had any chance of winning.”

“And this was without the Howling Celestial Dog…”

Qin Yang limped, his vision already blurred.

The extreme exertion made his Divine Soul feel empty, as if he was on the verge of death.

If only he could receive a blast of Holy Light from Elebella right now, how wonderful that would be.

Unfortunately, for Qin Yang, Elebella had already fallen.

Even though he knew very well that the Holy Consort was certainly nearby at this moment.

Perhaps, even right beside him.

“Stop quickly! You’re too severely injured!”

Qin Yang judged, Elebella cried out anxiously, continuously releasing Holy Light power towards him.

But when her Holy Light landed, it passed straight through Qin Yang’s body, as if through a phantom.

“It’s no use. To him, we are already dead.”

The Goddess of Nature Salaman, standing nearby, shook her head.

Earlier, she had also used Divine Power to create a smooth path to the World Tree for Qin Yang.

But looking at Qin Yang’s stumbling movements, the path beneath his feet had not become smooth.

This was a very peculiar relationship.

To Salaman and Elebella, Qin Yang was right beside them.

But in Qin Yang’s world, they had all fallen and no longer existed.

Therefore, none of their actions could affect Qin Yang.

As a native deity, Elebella naturally knew this.

The reason she was desperately trying anything was because she realized that Qin Yang was currently burning his own life force.

After Qin Yang’s return, Elebella, Salaman, Amir, and other deities descended upon the Elf World and witnessed the terrifying, indescribable battle firsthand.

Among them, Salaman could even clearly perceive that the aftershocks of the battle were almost nearing the threshold of tearing the Elf World apart.

Fortunately, there was no real danger.

Qin Yang defeated his fellow countryman before the Elf World collapsed.

However, the cost of this victory was also heavy.

Qin Yang’s internal organs had suffered varying degrees of damage.

All the bones in his body were fractured.

Elebella had never seen a Mortal so severely injured yet still able to remain conscious and active.

But soon, she noticed something was wrong.

The wisp of white flame in Qin Yang’s heart was burning fiercely, seemingly with ample fuel, yet it violently pulsed every few seconds.

This indicated… that the white flame was not burning efficiently.

Elebella realized that Qin Yang was now at the end of his rope.

He was entirely relying on willpower to convert his life force into energy, sustaining the operation of the Human Emperor Avatar.

If this continued, Qin Yang would be reduced to a mere husk, eventually crumbling to dust.

“What do we do? He’ll die like this!”

Elebella’s beautiful eyes were red with anxiety as she looked at Salaman.

Qin Yang had already used a resurrection item once; if he died again, there would be no chance for rebirth.

As the Holy Light Goddess, Elebella could naturally cast resurrection spells.

But now… to Qin Yang, she did not exist, so she couldn’t cast a Great Resurrection spell on him.

“Your Knights Templar can surely help him, right?”

Amir, standing nearby, was also extremely anxious, saying to Elebella.

Salaman shook her head, “To him, the Holy Light Divine Authority no longer exists, and the Holy Knight’s skills cannot affect him. My Nature Divine Authority is the same.”

Hearing this, Amir bit her lower lip and murmured, “This… it’s a pity, he’s very handsome…”

Although Amir’s words were flippant, a look of solemnity overflowed in her eyes.

Though she had not interacted much with Qin Yang, she understood that if Qin Yang fell, the Myriad Realms would be doomed.

Just as the three deities were at a loss, a voice sounded from behind.

“Holy Consort Stepmother, I need to borrow your Divine Authority.”

Elebella turned her head and saw Lin Xiao’er and Chu Mengxuan flying rapidly towards them.

“Stepmother?”

Elebella’s delicate brows furrowed; she didn’t understand why the Empress would call her that.

However, she was more concerned about the latter part of the sentence.

“Empress Dowager, Empress.”

Elebella nodded slightly to Lin Xiao’er and Chu Mengxuan, then asked Chu Mengxuan, “You want to borrow my Divine Authority? Is it to save the Divine Emperor?”

“Yes.” Chu Mengxuan nodded.

Elebella’s eyes lit up.

This was indeed a good method!

Due to her “fall,” Qin Yang could not feel the power of Holy Light.

But the Holy Light Divine Authority had always existed and would not disappear due to her demise.

As long as the Holy Light Divine Authority could be passed into Qin Yang’s hands, with his conceptual principles, he would instantly be able to wield the Divine Authority.

However, accepting Divine Authority also required conceptual principles.

Chu Mengxuan was just a Mortal; could she touch Divine Authority?

Elebella asked Chu Mengxuan, “I don’t mind lending the Divine Authority to the Empress, but I don’t understand how you can wield Divine Authority?”

Chu Mengxuan shook her head and explained, “I cannot wield Divine Authority, but I can infuse your Divine Authority into Father Emperor’s body, allowing him to exercise Divine Authority and heal himself.”

“You have this ability?”

Elebella asked in surprise, but soon realized something was off.

What did she call Qin Yang?

Father Emperor?

Lin Xiao’er, standing nearby, seemed to have noticed Elebella’s confusion and interjected, “Holy Consort, let her try. I see Qin Yang’s condition is very dangerous; there’s no time to explain more.”

Elebella nodded; now was not the time to dwell on other matters.

She extended a finger and touched Chu Mengxuan’s forehead, murmuring, “Elebella, I bestow upon you the Holy Light Divine Authority. May you treat all beings with a heart of compassion and mercy.”

Accompanying Elebella’s ethereal and gentle voice,

a warm light entered Chu Mengxuan’s forehead.

Instantly, her eyes glowed with a crystalline soft light, and her sacred gaze rippled out like a holy spring.

At the same time, golden morning light appeared on the horizon, with wisps of lightning moving within it.

The lightning bolts were jagged and fierce, but the power they emanated was as warm and gentle as Holy Light.

“My Divine Authority has really been amplified!”

Elebella exclaimed in surprise.

The moment the first wisp of lightning appeared, she had noticed the difference.

Her Holy Light Divine Authority was steadily climbing.

For every additional wisp of lightning in the golden clouds, her Holy Light Divine Authority would increase tenfold.

When the sky was filled with lightning, Elebella even felt that her Holy Light Divine Authority had grown to an extremely terrifying degree.

To give an exaggerated example… she even felt that if she wasn’t careful, she might accidentally ‘heal’ Qin Yang to death.

At this moment, Chu Mengxuan reached out and pressed down, shouting, “Go!”

Boom!

Accompanied by the thunderous roar, streaks of golden lightning imbued with Holy Light Divine Authority struck towards the Human Emperor Avatar!
