The Divine Servants retreated with the lamps in their hands. In the blink of an eye, the hall was empty except for Claude, Xiyin, Xi Yan, and Eva.
Xiyin was a bit confused. "Ruler, why did you ask me to stay?"
Claude calmly said, "You have the power of the Asura in your body. You should understand that, right?"
"I … …"
Xiyin didn't expect that Claude already knew about this.
"Xiyin."
Claude looked at her with a gentle gaze. "People with the power of darkness in their bodies cannot become true angels. Although you've already completed the inheritance of a level-7 Golden-Winged Battle Angel, the power of the Asura in your body will definitely affect your future growth. So, this time, we must completely dispel the power of the Asura and let you become a pure Law God of Light."
Xiyin remained silent.
Xi Yan said, "Xiyin, the Ruler will use the Lost Paradise to purify your body, but … … the Lost Paradise is a cursed God Artifact. You'd best think carefully before agreeing. Since ancient times, very few people have ever been able to leave the Lost Paradise. Even God Emperors might not be able to do so."
Her words were undoubtedly a warning to Xiyin.
"Xi Yan, don't be so talkative!" Claude said unhappily.
"Yes, Ruler." Xi Yan lowered her head, her eyes flashing with unease.
"Xiyin, have you thought it through?" Claude asked. Rather than saying it was a question, it was better to say that it was a form of coercion.
"Yes, Ruler."
Xiyin had no choice but to submit to a fate that she couldn't control.
"Good. Make your preparations. We'll enter the Lost Paradise in two hours."
"Yes … …"
… …
Outside the hall, a cold wind blew, causing Claude and Xi Yan's robes to flutter.
"Xi Yan."
"Ruler."
"Are you unable to see where you are?" Claude asked.
"I …"
Xi Yan bit her red lips and did not continue speaking.
"Xiyin is just a wandering soul from the Banished Land, is it really worth it for you to go against my will?" Claude asked.
"The Great Sovereign said that Xiyin is nothing more than a wandering soul from another plane. Why should we make things difficult for her? She has already experienced many hardships. If she were to perish in the Lost Paradise now, where would the Heavenly Dao be? "
"Heavenly Dao?"
Claude smiled. "Xi Yan, is she really a wandering soul from another plane?"
"Milord, what do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb." Claude's voice was cold. "No matter how Xiyin tries to hide it, she can't hide her sharpness. The Divine Spark in Xiyin's Yi Hai is an incomplete Divine Spark of the Law of Light. The ability she uses is called the Celestial Dragon Crystal. In all the planes of the universe, there's only one person who fits that description, and that's Qin Yin!"
Claude's eyes were full of cold light. He looked at Xi Yan with his sword-like eyes and said, "You are also a top expert with the cultivation of the 99th level of Heavens. Can't you see this? Rather than playing dumb, it's better to say that you want to help Qin Yin, right? "
"I … I …" Xi Yan was at a loss.
"Xi Yan, you're too kind." Claude said, "If it weren't for kindness, there wouldn't be a second Seraph in the Western Divine Realm, right?"
"There's nothing bad about Eva becoming a Seraph."
"Hmph, even if that's the case, there's no room for negotiation on this matter with Xiyin." Claude suddenly opened his palm, and a dazzling ice crystal appeared in his palm. "Even though Xiyin was Qin Yin in her previous life, I want her to be baptized in the Lost Paradise. She'll forget everything and become a Divine General of the Western Divine Realm!"
"My Lord, what are you going to do?"
"Have you heard of Soul Forging?"
"My Lord!"
Xi Yan immediately knelt down, her face full of pity. "Please have mercy, my Lord. Once her Soul Forging, I'm afraid Xiyin will never remember who she is. Please reconsider!"
"Say no more. I've made up my mind."
Claude said, "If Xiyin doesn't enter the Lost Paradise, then there's only one outcome for her. Her Chief God divine core will be taken away! A wandering soul from another plane doesn't deserve the Chief God divine core of the Law of Light. This Chief God divine core can only stay in the Western Divine Realm! "
Xi Yan looked desolate as she murmured, "Then … I'll listen to my Lord and let Xiyin enter the Lost Paradise."
"Hmph, that's right!"
…
Two hours later, in the great hall.
Xiyin waited quietly. She had already changed into a new set of clothes that belonged to a Battle Angel. She wore a white shirt and a white skirt, and a cloak embroidered with golden edges. Even her collar was embroidered with a golden cross pattern of the Western Divine Realm. She stood there quietly, as beautiful as a perfect goddess statue.
"Xiyin's looks are second to none even in the Western Divine Realm …" Eva sighed.
Claude couldn't help but snort coldly. "As a Blazing Angel, you're actually so immersed in your appearance."
"I'm a woman, after all. A man like you won't understand."
"I don't want to understand either."
Claude walked up and asked, "Xiyin, are you ready?"
"Yes, Juggernaut."
"Very good."
Claude suddenly opened his palm, and the Lost Paradise in the form of an ice crystal shone with a dazzling light. In the blink of an eye, it transformed and became as dazzling as a star. Claude said, "Alright, you can enter the Lost Paradise at any time. As long as you can survive for three days, the Lost Paradise will automatically send you out."
"Yes, thank you, Juggernaut."
"Wait, Xiyin," Xi Yan suddenly said.
Xiyin was stunned. "Hmm? Lady Xi Yan? "
"Don't call me Lady, call me Big Sister." Xi Yan sighed.
Xiyin smiled. "Big Sister Hiyan."
"Alright …"
Xi Yan smiled miserably and said, "Come back alive."
"Mn."
Xiyin didn't say anything else. She turned around and leaped into the Lost Paradise. With a swoosh, the world spun around her as her body was pulled down by a powerful force. There seemed to be no end to this. One plane after another flashed before her eyes, and some of them seemed to bring back memories of the past. However, Xiyin didn't even have time to think about it. Suddenly, the light in front of her shone brightly, and she fell into an illusory world. Everything around her was the color of blood, and she couldn't see anything.
"This … this is the Lost Paradise?"
She murmured. "This is what the Lost Paradise looks like …"
"Buzz!"
A ripple appeared in the illusory space in front of her, and a middle-aged man in a long robe walked out. His face was filled with benevolence, and he said with a smile, "Xiao Yin, you're back …"
Behind him, the scenery continued to blur, forming into the shape of a majestic palace. There were also some guards in white robes and silver armor standing guard at the side. That was the Ze Tian Palace, and the man in front of her was Qin Jin.
However, Xiyin didn't remember him at all.
"Who are you?" she asked in a small voice.
The middle-aged man smiled. After a long time, he said, "I am your father, Xiao Yin. How did you get so far away? So far that Imperial Father can no longer see you."
Xiyin was stunned. "Imperial Father? You … Who exactly are you? "
Qin Jin's smile was still gentle. "Xiao Yin, don't wander anymore. Return to Yu's side. That's our home. My poor daughter, you've suffered so much. Don't wander anymore. Imperial Father will always be watching over you."
His body was abruptly torn apart by time, and what replaced it was a vast expanse of fertile land.
The sounds of battle rang out everywhere. Countless cavalry and infantry charged on the battlefield. The empire's war flag swayed, but it fell again, and was then trampled by the enemy's iron hooves, filling the ground with mud.
Amidst the dripping blood, a young general was covered in blood as he staggered toward Xiyin. There were a few arrows in his shoulder and chest, and his leg had been pierced by an enemy's spear. He couldn't walk very well. He dragged his right leg as he walked over step by step, using his longsword to support himself on the ground. That longsword was very familiar — it was Xiyin's Stellar Sword.
"Xiao Yin."
He walked over step by step. Blood flowed down his face, but there was a doting smile on his lips. "Xiao Yin, you're back? I've waited for you for five years, five years … It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back … "
The sound of iron hooves could be heard, and a huge black shadow descended from the sky. It was a general who was completely pitch-black, and he stepped on Xiyin's back.
"Pfft!"
He vomited blood, and his whole body fell to the ground in a sorry state. He was firmly stepped on by the enemy general.
"Xiao Yin … My Xiao Yin …" Blood and tears flowed out of his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Qin Yin. "Pfft!" The enemy's spear pierced through his chest, and his whole body was nailed to the ground.
Xiyin's whole body trembled. She knew him.
"No … No …" She shouted with all her might, but it was to no avail.
The enemy general pulled out his sword and grabbed Xiyin's short hair. The sword flashed, and blood spurted into the sky. The next moment, his head was already in the enemy's hand.
"No!"
Xiyin knelt down, and his whole body was on the verge of collapsing.
The scene was torn apart again. The surroundings were a sea of blood, and countless corpses were lying on the battlefield. Broken spears and halberds were scattered all over the ground, and the war flag was on the ground, soaked in blood.
The Empire had failed.
Xiyin didn't know what the scene in front of her meant, but she felt as if her heart was being pierced by a sharp knife. Tears flowed down her face, and she knelt on the ground, sobbing bitterly.
The lost paradise, the place where all the joy of the world was lost.
What was the end of pain?
It was heartlessness, and it was forgetting everything.
Xiyin's whole body trembled, and she lay on the ground full of corpses. She was like a drop in the ocean of desolation and loneliness.
…
"Ah …"
Suddenly sitting up, Lin Muyu sat up from the bed, sweating profusely. Her mind recalled the nightmare just now, and she murmured, "Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin …"
Not far away, Bai Yin, who was sleeping outside the door, also woke up. He hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Lin Muyu said softly, "I just had a nightmare, it's just a false alarm. Bai Yin, what time is it now?"
"It's a quarter to three in the morning."
"Oh, is there any news from the East Coast?"
"Not yet, Your Highness need not worry. Go to sleep."
