Tina's world view had completely collapsed, and she sobbed like a weeping beauty.
Teardrops slid down her white and tender cheeks, sparkling and translucent like little pearls under the sunlight.
An Lin stowed away the dazzling treasures hovering in the air before patting Tina's little head with a comforting expression. "Alright, don't cry. It's just that the world is a little bigger than you think, what's there to cry about?"
Tina wiped her tears away. "But … but it's not just a little bigger, it's countless times bigger! And I've been deceived for over ten thousand years, I've been ignorant for over ten thousand years, waah … I'm crying at my own stupidity …"
An Lin: "…"
An Lin felt like he shouldn't say anything now. Instead, he should let her vent.
When a person discovered that the world they knew was only a pitifully small cage, anyone would feel some negative emotions, especially the proud Holy Fairy Maiden. She had finally reached the pinnacle of this world, only to find out that she was only at the level of a kindergarten. That was quite a heavy blow to her.
"The ancestral teachings of our elven tribe are to uphold the order of the entire Tai Chu Continent. We've carried out this ancestral teaching for generations, and we call ourselves the guardians of the Tai Chu Continent. Now, it looks like this belief is so laughable … "Tina sobbed.
"It's not really laughable. At the very least, you've ensured that all living beings on this continent can flourish in peace, and you can indeed be called the guardians of the Tai Chu Continent," An Lin offered words of consolation.
Tina looked up at An Lin before suddenly saying, "I agree. I'll trade the four Holy Spirit Towers with you."
An Lin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "You've finally thought it through?"
Tina nodded. "There's no rule against trading the Holy Spirit Towers anyway. At the end of the day, their only purpose is to materialize the Divine Lake. The Divine Lake isn't very useful anyway, and there are many forbidden areas that can replace it. As long as it can help the central city develop, I don't mind trading it away."
"That's good. You've seen my treasures. Tell me, what do you need?" An Lin said with a smile.
"I want five holy pills that contain rich life force energy, three small holy grade weapons, and a tree with red flames and long roots, is that okay …" Tina's voice trailed off toward the end, as if she felt like she was asking for too much.
Wasn't that how business negotiations worked? First, raise a relatively high request, then slowly lower the standard, and finally stabilize it at a range that both parties could accept.
An Lin stroked his chin. Five elixirs, three spirit weapons, and the Fire Blood God Tree … These conditions were not high, and he could still accept them.
Seeing that An Lin was deep in thought, Tina felt a little uneasy and ashamed. She added, "If I plant that tree with the red flames, it should be able to give birth to a new sacred cultivation ground that can replace the Holy Spirit Tower. That's why I don't want to abandon that tree. As for other things, we can still discuss them … "
"There's no need for further discussion. Deal!" An Lin laughed.
"Huh?" Tina's eyes widened with incredulity as she stared at An Lin.
That's it? There's no need to bargain?
Seeing as An Lin had saved her life before, she was initially willing to agree to the deal even if she only wanted the divine tree. Who would have thought that An Lin would agree so readily?
The deal was sealed.
Tina began to evacuate the people within the Holy Spirit Tower and the Divine Lake. Then, An Lin uprooted the four towers with his bare hands. He swept aside all of the surrounding buildings to reveal their dazzling cores.
The golden Realm Essence Crystals shimmered under the sunlight. They were about a meter in length and looked like spirit stones, but they exuded a unique energy fluctuation that made the space around them more viscous.
All of the people gathered around the Divine Lake were dumbstruck as they stared at the incredulous scenes unfolding in the distance.
The Giant Godfiend uprooted the Holy Spirit Tower! And the Holy Maiden was cooperating with him!
However, they came to their senses in the next instant.
The Giant Godfiend brought out five holy pills, three massive holy tools, and a strange-looking crimson tree, which he handed to the Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden stowed these items away into her spatial tool.
"So … the Holy Maiden is making a deal with the Giant Godfiend?"
"This Giant Godfiend is different from the Giant Godfiends of the past. Not only does it resemble a human in appearance, but it also possesses extremely high intelligence and many powerful treasures. On top of that, it also possesses unparalleled power. Even the Holy Maiden is no match for it, so a peaceful resolution is indeed the best outcome."
"That tree is clearly extraordinary, and there are so many holy pills and holy tools. Why do I feel like the Giant Godfiend is on the losing end?"
"You didn't see the spectacular spectacle when the Giant Godfiend unleashed his treasures!"
…
Just as all of the powerful beings were discussing spiritedly among themselves, the deal between An Lin and the Holy Maiden had already concluded.
The three spirit tools were ice shards, snowflake spikes, and frost needles. These were the three spirit tools that An Lin didn't know how to use. However, they were the most suitable spirit tools for a super tiny person like Tina, so everyone was happy with the outcome.
Tina played with the two snowflake spikes in her hands. In her hands, the snowflake spikes were like snowflake spears that were even taller than herself. They came in sets of one basket and one white, and one holy tool was equivalent to two holy tools. Buy one, get one free.
"Hmm … I'll give these snowflake spikes to Mandel and Harris. They are the most powerful guardians of the central city, so they have the right to receive these two holy tools," Tina suddenly said.
She then surveyed her surroundings before turning pale with fright. "Ah! Mandel, Harris! Why are you two still lying in the pit?! "
Mandel and Harris, who were practically useless, instantly burst into tears.
My God … The Saintess has finally noticed us!
…
In order to absorb the power of the Realm Essence Crystals, An Lin needed a quiet and secluded place.
Tina led him to a Green Wood Restricted Area. The life energy here was extremely rich, and there were guards standing guard outside, so normal people wouldn't disturb them.
An Lin meditated on the grass and brought out four golden Realm Essence Crystals.
The mission given to him by the system was to obtain and absorb ten golden Realm Essence Crystals within a month.
If he succeeded, he would obtain the embryonic body of the War God.
He didn't know what this body of the War God was, but he could tell from its name that it was an extremely powerful existence.
An Lin released two Gundams from his storage ring to stand guard for him. Then, he activated his cultivation method and began to absorb the energy within the Realm Essence Crystals. An indescribable power slowly flowed out from the Realm Essence Crystals and flowed into An Lin's body, fusing into his blood, organs, bones, and meridians …
He was a little astonished, and he sighed to himself. Perhaps his constitution really was special.
Normal people were completely unable to absorb the energy contained within the Realm Essence Crystals. However, he was able to continuously absorb the energy within the Realm Essence Crystals using his cultivation method …
This rate of absorption wasn't very fast, and he could only absorb one golden Realm Essence Crystal every hour or so.
Tina summoned all of the powerful beings in the central city to deal with the aftermath of the battle. She also went to plant the Fire Blood Divine Tree and distribute the holy pills and holy tools.
An Lin finished absorbing the four Realm Essence Crystals, and the system indicated that he had completed four-tenths of the mission.
There were no changes within his body, and he didn't know what the effects of absorbing the energy within his body were.
An Lin took a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes. He then discovered that Tina was sitting on a small rock.
Her white dress danced in the wind, and her golden wings fluttered slightly, sending specks of golden light into the air. She rested her chin on her hands, and she swayed her legs as she gazed at An Lin with a pair of glowing eyes.
