633: Nice to see you again
In the Human World, Western Fortress.
As rays of Holy Light lit up,
Broken bodies grew flesh and blood anew, regaining vitality.
The fallen Professionals were granted life again in the Holy Light.
This was “Greater Resurrection,” a Heaven-Defying skill like a miracle.
Legend has it that only the most devout Holy Light believers and the greatest Professionals could enjoy “Greater Resurrection” and receive a second life bestowed by the Holy Light.
Today, most of those resurrected were Hero Rank Professionals.
By all accounts, they were far from being called “great.”
Yet, a “miracle” had descended upon them.
Because at this moment, a god was fighting alongside them.
Holy Light Goddess Elebella, possessing her apostle Tina, continuously cast Holy Light Spells, healing the wounded and dead who had retreated to the city walls.
In the previous wave of battle, the Human Professionals had suffered heavy losses.
One-third of them were gone the moment they clashed with the demons.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager intervening and ending the battle,
Elebella's workload would have been immense.
And in her possessed state, her consumption was also very rapid.
With such a high frequency of spellcasting, the possessed Tina was also close to her limit.
At this moment, Tina's skin already showed cracks, having reached its maximum.
“Resurrection is a one-time opportunity; please cherish yourselves,”
Elebella admonished a recently resurrected person, her voice so gentle that she didn't sound like a god at all.
“Thank the Holy Light!”
The Professionals bowed their heads in shame.
The second wave of attack was indeed too reckless.
Everyone had been envious when they saw the Necromancers gain a large amount of experience.
When the second wave of monsters appeared, many Professionals charged forward before they even understood the situation.
The result was predictable.
It directly exhausted the Knights Templar.
Fortunately, after the lesson from the previous wave, everyone became much more cautious.
First, they had used their only resurrection opportunity.
Second, they had clearly seen the terror of the Transcendent Tier.
Monsters of that level were not something flesh and blood could challenge; sending more people would only be suicide.
To block those demon generals, they could only rely on the gods!
“Next attack, it's our turn to go up, oh~”
A hazy voice came from the sky.
Looking up, a divine throne made of piled gold and silver treasures floated in the air.
A woman with wheat-colored skin, her legs crossed, swayed a red wine glass, lying comfortably on the divine throne.
That was the Goddess of Harvest, Amir.
“At this time, are you still drinking?”
Elebella frowned.
A god possessing an apostle could not exert one hundred percent of their combat power.
Facing the current predicament, even she was a bit nervous.
How could Amir, this drunkard, still be in the mood to drink?
“I'll be a bit stronger when I'm drunk~~~”
Amir hiccuped.
Among the true gods, Amir's combat power was similar to Elebella's; neither had many offensive means.
But while Elebella could provide stable buffs, Amir's abilities were extremely unstable.
Aside from the reward buffs in settlement, Amir's attack and buff skills depended entirely on luck.
It was like rolling dice; rolling a “Major Achievement” could instantly kill the target.
If she rolled a “Major Failure,” not only would she fail to damage the enemy, but she would also fall flat on her face from her own attack.
Similarly, her “buff” type skills had the same effect.
Whether it was a boost or a reduction depended entirely on her.
This was one of the core aspects of the Divine Authority of Harvest: luck.
And according to Amir, her luck was best when her consciousness was fuzzy.
Elebella was half-skeptical about this, simply thinking she was drinking for courage.
After all, if her skills didn't work, she would only be able to rely on her powerful divine body and engage in close-quarters combat with those monsters.
Perhaps she would strike harder when drunk?
As Elebella was thinking, she heard Amir exclaim: “Yuriannos!!!”
Elebella was startled, looking up to see another divine throne appear beside the Harvest Divine Throne.
The blue Guanghui symbolizing Wisdom, the crystal texture symbolizing calmness, clearly belonged to the Wisdom Divine Throne.
Soon, an old man materialized on the divine throne.
He was tall, with a full head of white hair, wearing round-rimmed glasses, exuding the aura of a scholar.
Upon seeing Amir and Elebella, he nodded and smiled kindly: “Two Goddesses, it’s a pleasure to see you again.”
Elebella's heart filled with joy.
The fallen Yuriannos had reappeared.
This meant... Qin Yang had found the Land of Divine Fallen!
Thinking of seeing Qin Yang soon, Elebella was ecstatic.
No, to be precise, it was Qin Yang who would be able to see her.
After that dream sacrifice, a Styx River separated Elebella and Qin Yang.
Elebella could see Qin Yang on the “other side,” but Qin Yang could not see her.
Even if Elebella stood right in front of Qin Yang, she couldn't make him perceive her presence.
It was like a ghost, able to see her beloved but unable to touch him.
This separation made Elebella incredibly lost and worried.
No god knew the location of the “Land of Divine Fallen.”
Elebella was unsure if Qin Yang could find that place.
If he couldn't find it, wouldn't she have to watch Qin Yang gradually forget her?
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen.
Qin Yang eventually found the “Land of Divine Fallen.”
The place only deceased gods could reach.
“Yo! You brought excellent news!”
“Someone's in a good mood now!”
“Cheers~”
Amir raised her red wine glass, toasting Elebella.
Though she was teasing others, her own face was flushed.
Elebella narrowed her eyes and said, “I see you're pretty excited too.”
“Naturally.”
Amir shrugged: “It's rare to meet a handsome guy; I wouldn't want him to never see me for his whole life, would I?”
“You're certainly more open than Salaman.”
Elebella rolled her eyes at Amir, then asked Yuriannos: “Our deaths were special; there might not be bodies. Does the Divine Emperor know what to do next?”
Elebella was truly worried about not being able to see Qin Yang.
She had worried about one issue before:
She had died “in a dream.”
Logically, her body wouldn't exist in the Land of Divine Fallen.
And without a body, how would Qin Yang “resurrect” her?
Yuriannos nodded: “His Wisdom is no less than mine; you will see him very soon.”
Hearing this, Amir immediately straightened her posture, slightly tidying her messy curly hair, and asked: “Is he coming, or are we being pulled over?”
Yuriannos said: “Naturally, you are being pulled over.”
Elebella paused slightly, glanced at the wounded on the fortress, and said: “The battle is still ongoing; can we leave?”
Yuriannos smiled, looked at the Secret Realm in the center of the battlefield, and mused: “Go ahead, I'm enough here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a prompt appeared before the eyes of all Professionals.
[The God of Wisdom has appraised the Lion Camel Ridge Secret Realm.]

Before everyone could finish reading the sudden Heaven-Defying buffs,
A voice rang out in the air.
Everyone looked up to see a red-robed old man flying into the sky.
That was the “Walking Deterrent,” Law Emperor Zhan Chen!
