206: Light Rain

Boom!!!

A bloody lightning bolt instantly tore through the sky, and under the gaze of all living beings on Sel Star, a massive lightning bolt struck directly towards Sain Dale.

At this moment, the living beings in other parts of Sel Star still didn't know what was happening, but those present at the scene saw it clearly: the massive bloody lightning bolt instantly struck Sain Dale.

He didn't even have time to react before he was trapped in place by the bloody lightning, and then the bloody lightning entered his body. Sain Dale immediately let out a mournful scream, a cry so tragic and terrifying that it sent shivers down one's spine.

But it wasn't over yet. After the bloody lightning struck Sain Dale, it didn't disappear. Instead, it used the bloody lightning as a link, connecting the dark clouds in the sky with Sain Dale.

Rumble~

At this moment, another strange sound came from the sky. Immediately after, under the gaze of all living beings on the entire planet, a constantly fluctuating red glow rapidly moved from top to bottom through the bloody lightning, using the bloody lightning as a channel, and with a bang, it directly slammed into Sain Dale's body.

"No! Monarch!!!"

At this moment, the several Vice Commanders who witnessed this scene couldn't help but cry out. It was true that they had changed their minds and wanted to disrupt the transaction between power and the restricted area, but they were not the ultimate masterminds. They might have fallen, but they had not completely sunk.

Therefore, when they saw that Sain Dale was enduring the punishment from the restricted area to protect them, their hearts trembled, and a trace of remorse arose within them.

"Heh, is this deep affection between monarch and ministers now?"

"Tell us who the mastermind is. Be careful, if you don't speak, Sel Star might truly cease to exist."

Nie Guang looked at the excited Vice Commanders and chuckled softly.

In his opinion, collecting the World Core should have been a very simple matter. After all, this was not a world plundered, but Sel Star's monarch actively surrendering. Since it was an active surrender, all unstable factors should have been cleared at the beginning of the surrender.

But what did Sain Dale do?

Not only did he not clear the unstable factors, but he left them until now, using their hands to eliminate his opponents.

What was this supposed to be?

Were they just tools in someone else's hands?

At this point, Nie Guang had already sorted out the general outline of the matter. He didn't need to dig to the root; just understanding the general idea was enough.

As for the rest, that could be solved with force, making them spit out the truth themselves.

Rumble!

At this moment, another blood mass struck down, exuding an extremely terrifying energy pressure through the bloody lightning, and directly slammed into Sain Dale's body once again.

If there were keen-eyed people, they would notice that as this blood mass entered his body, Sain Dale's hair immediately began to turn white at a visible speed. Afterwards, his cheeks also began to show signs of age, and wrinkles started to appear on his face.

"You dug a pit for him."

Actually, it couldn't be said that Li An was slow to react. Previously, when he dealt with enemies, he relied on his powerful strength to directly crush them. But now, he finally understood Nie Guang's operation: he used words to dig a pit for Sain Dale, making him inadvertently touch the rules of the Paradise, ultimately leading to the Paradise's punishment.

Interesting!

This directly gave Li An a deeper understanding of the Paradise. At the same time, Nie Guang also inadvertently made Li An realize something: having powerful martial arts alone was not enough; he also needed to maintain a clear mind.

Although he was not good at digging pits for others, he could prevent himself from jumping into pits dug by others.

"This kind of trick can only be used against certain forces in the myriad worlds."

"If it were the major forces in the myriad worlds, having witnessed the power of the Paradise, they wouldn't dare to provoke it in the slightest."

Nie Guang shook his head. This kind of trick was ultimately merely a low-level one, not worthy of being presented.

"That's enough. With the Paradise's punishment, the Lord's trial can be considered a success."

At this point, Mark also chimed in.

"That's right."

Hearing this, Li An immediately nodded.

At the same time, the Paradise's punishment also seemed to be coming to an end. The bloody lightning standing between heaven and earth gradually began to shrink, and Sain Dale's screams also became faint at this moment. Finally, with a bang, the dark clouds in the sky exploded, turning into a rain of energy light that enveloped the entire Sel Star.

"This is..."

Looking at this shocking scene, Li An and the other two's eyes narrowed. Even Nie Guang had never seen this before.

Curious living beings of Sel Star curiously raised their hands to touch the falling light rain. Immediately, a miraculous scene occurred: the moment a living being's palm touched the light rain, the light rain instantly merged into the living being's body without any obstruction.

Buzz~

The next second, an inexplicable aura erupted directly from the living being's body, and his eyes also changed at this moment. He immediately knelt on the ground and began to kowtow towards the void in the sky, offering his most devout faith.

"What happened to them?"

Mark looked at this terrifying scene, his face aghast.

"I don't know, but this is definitely the Paradise's doing."

Li An looked at the light rain that avoided the three of them, his expression also becoming solemn. Perhaps it was as he thought: this was some mechanism of the Paradise, and as Contractors, they were already a part of the Paradise, so the light rain directly avoided them.

"Go, go find Saine Hopes."

"The mastermind behind this."

Just as Li An and the other two were still admiring the light rain, Sain Dale, who was exhausted from the torment of the bloody lightning, spoke.

Saine Hopes!

Not far away, the several Vice Commanders who heard Sain Dale say this name instantly stiffened. Even though they had already merged with the light rain at this time, their bodies still involuntarily tensed up.

The person who instigated them to attack Li An was Horn Hopps. He also had another identity: the previous monarch of Sel Star! At the same time, he was also Sain Dale's father.

Actually, Sain Dale's path to power was not smooth. As the monarch of Sel Star, he had no talent for cultivation from birth. Therefore, before he ascended to power, he was the well-known 'waste prince' of Sel Star.

But what made Sain Dale different was that, although he was called a waste prince, he possessed political talent and a grand vision that surpassed anyone's understanding. This ultimately allowed him to replace his father and become the first monarch on Sel Star without strength, yet ruling the entire planet.

However, it was precisely because Sain Dale's path to power came from replacing his father that it brought obstacles to Sel Star's current entry into the Paradise.

Even though Sain Dale had long known that his father was behind it, his inner conscience still prevented him from directly executing his father.

Until now, the Paradise's punishment made him fully realize that the dignity of the restricted area could not be provoked. If he wanted to move past this matter, he could only hand over the mastermind.
