At this moment, in midair, Ai Yi and Anima had already completely enveloped Lilith in the light source, and everything had returned to normal.
If not for the transparent boundary above Kosmos, everything on the ground would have been razed to the ground, leaving only a wasteland and ruins. If one were to tell others that this was not a dream, perhaps they would think that all the disasters that had happened so far were just their own imagination?
"Haven't you gone missing? Why are you here? "
At this moment, Shien cast his gaze on Lésia, his face still blank.
Seeing this, Lésia smiled bitterly.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you when I have the chance in the future." Lésia changed the topic and said to Shien, "I didn't expect you to appear here, and even get involved with the evil goddess Lilith."
Lésia indeed did not expect this.
Therefore, when she first arrived and saw Shien, Lésia could not help but be shocked.
But now seemed to be not the time to care about that.
"Are you alright? Mr. Shien? "
La Xia asked Shien.
Lai Xia wasn't the only one beside him. There was another young girl as well.
"I … I thought I was dead for sure …"
Elise had unknowingly appeared with La Xia and the others. Her face was still pale, and she still had lingering fears.
Obviously, in the disaster caused by the evil goddess Lilith, Elise had almost gone through a narrow escape. In the end, she seemed to have been saved by La Xia's people, which was why she was brought here.
"I'm fine."
Shien shook his head. After replying to La Xia, he did not care about anything else and turned his gaze to the sky.
Over there, Ai Yi and Anima had already landed.
"Not bad." Ai Yi praised and said, "To be able to do this in the face of that lunatic, you are more capable than I thought."
It seemed that this dragon demon was very satisfied with Shien's performance.
On the other hand, there was another person whom Shien did not know. His eyes were clearly closed, but he seemed to be staring at Shien, allowing Shien to clearly feel that the other party's "gaze" was on him.
"You are …?"
Shien frowned and asked.
Although he did not know who the other party was, Shien could feel a very astonishing magical power and extremely powerful life aura. He did not dare to underestimate the other party.
Of course, the other party would not underestimate Shien either.
After all, it wasn't just Ai Yi and the rest who saw Sean's performance just now. Anima had also seen it.
Thus, Anima solemnly bowed to Shien.
"I'm Anima, please just call me by my name."
Her attitude was as if she was facing a very distinguished guest.
Shien did not mind.
However, the other party's name made Shien instantly know who she was.
"You mean Anima?" Shien was stunned. "You are the Goddess of Life?"
"Wh … What?" Elise's body trembled as she looked at Anima in shock and excitement.
Without a doubt, this was the first time Elise had seen the Goddess of Life, the person she believed in.
As the Saintess, although she was the spokesperson of the Goddess of Life in the human world, because she had not received blessings and had not been to the divine realm, Elise had never seen the Goddess of Life in person.
Rather, many people actually did not have the opportunity to see the god they believed in.
Gods would basically only appear in the human world when they needed to bestow blessings. Otherwise, they would always stay in the divine realm and rarely appear in other worlds.
Therefore, other than going to the divine realm, if one wanted to see a god, they would only have the opportunity to receive blessings.
As the Saintess of the Beastmen Race, Elise had met a few Goddesses by chance and coincidence. However, it was rare for her to meet the three Goddesses who stood at the pinnacle of the Protoss Race face to face. Not only her, but even the Pope of the Temple and the King of the Empire rarely had such an opportunity.
Because of this, Rosie, who was allowed to go to the divine realm at any time and was even recruited by the Protoss to live in the divine realm, was so special.
Under such circumstances, Elise was naturally shocked and excited to see the god she believed in and prayed to for for the first time in her life.
"You've worked hard this time, Saintess Elise."
Nima did not neglect Elise, she stroked Elise's head lovingly.
"Ah …"
Elise's pale face immediately regained its color. She obediently let Anima caress her face as she was so touched that she almost shed tears.
The goddess she believed in and offered everything to was right in front of her. She even greeted her personally. This alone made Elise feel that she had no regrets in her life.
Anima treated Elise like her own child, and then smiled at Sean as she spoke.
"Perhaps this is the first time you've seen me, but I've been paying attention to you for a few days. So, please don't be too polite to me."
Anima's words contained many things that Shien wanted to know.
Compared to those things, what Shien was most eager to know now was the current situation.
"What did you do to Lilith … Jade?" Shien could not help but ask, "Did you seal her again?"
Shien could not help but worry about this matter.
If things really turned out this way, all his efforts would be in vain.
"Don't worry." Ai Yi seemed to have read Shien's mind, so she simply explained, "That's just a temporary isolation, just like what you did in this city called Kosmos."
Shien used a boundary to isolate Kosmos from the outside world and turned it into an independent area.
Ai Yi and Anima had merely done the same thing.
Of course, what they did was not on the same level as the boundary that Shien cast.
After all, it was a joint effort of the six demons and two of the three goddesses. The mystery behind it was not something that Shien could understand at the moment.
But hearing that it was only temporary, Shien was relieved.
As for the other half, it was still too early to let it go.
"Now, the goddess Lilith should still be in the midst of a struggle."
Anima's smile faded as she said this.
"Struggle?"
Shien could not help but be attracted.
"That's right." Anima nodded and said truthfully, "The rational half has now returned to her true form. However, as the controller of darkness and chaos, the Evil God's instincts would not allow her to be rational so easily. That is why the rational half wants to reclaim her body and power and become a true goddess, she must fight against the instincts of darkness and chaos."
Only by succeeding in this struggle could Emerald take back everything and completely control her body and power.
But if she failed …
"… it will be very dangerous, right?"
Shien was silent for a long time, then asked in a low voice.
Anima did not answer, only nodding her head.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat depressing.
Everyone was silent and looked at the light source in midair, not knowing what to say.
So was Shien.
"That fool," Shien said helplessly, "he could have waited a little longer."
If he had waited a little longer, Shien could have found a way to weaken Lilith's power a little more, so that Emerald's return would have a better chance of success.
"This result is actually very good," Anima said. "Originally, it was almost impossible for the rational half to return to her body. Now, at least there is a turning point. It is not as hopeless as before."
"That's true." Ai Yi also said lightly, "The power of the evil god cannot be weakened just because you want to. Otherwise, when Lilith wreaked havoc on the ground last time, the Protoss could have already done this and helped the other half return, right?"
"Yes." Anima sighed and said, "No matter how badly injured she is, the evil god Lilith will not care, let alone be affected by it. I can guarantee this."
If that was not the case, Lilith, who was sealed in the crystal, would not be as scarred as Shien saw.
Those injuries were left by the Protoss when he tried to stop her from wreaking havoc.
But the result was completely useless, leaving the Protoss completely helpless. In the end, they could only gather the power of the three goddesses and seal her.
This time, there was a turning point.
"Because of the power of the holy sword, this time, the evil god Lilith is not only injured, but even her power is indeed suppressed and weakened. That's why there is a glimmer of a chance, right?"
Next to her, Lésia expressed her opinion.
"If not for the power being weakened by the holy sword, with only the rational half without any power, even if there is a way to return, it will be very difficult to take back her body, right?"
La Xia said expressionlessly.
"That's what happened," Anima said softly. "The rational half is now constantly trying to fight against the weakened evil god's power. Looking at the situation, it seems that there is hope."
"But the hope is not very high, right?" Ai Yi glanced at Anima and said, "If that wasn't the case, the halfling wouldn't have entrusted the [True Seal] to this kid."
Ai Yi's words made Lésia and La Xia silent, and it also shocked Elise.
"Miss Jadeite entrusted the [True Seal] to Mr. Shien …!?"
Elise was astonished by this, and it could even be said that she was shocked.
"[True Seal]?"
Shien, however, frowned. Thinking of something, he rolled up the sleeve on his arm.
On it, the pattern marks left by Jadeite before she returned to her body were still there.
"What is this?"
Shien couldn't help but ask.
It was Anima who answered Shien's question.
"That is the root of us Protoss, a kind of core of existence."
Anima turned her head, and her closed eyes seemed to be staring at Shien.
"We Protoss are beings split from the body of the goddess Omnys, and we are also the only race that can be immortal."
This was something mentioned before.
The number of goddesses of the Protoss was limited, and at the same time, it was fixed.
Even if they died, they would be reincarnated after a period of time and come back to life.
"Unless our Paramount God dies, the God Race will never disappear," Yang Qi said with a smile.
Anima said so.
"The reason we can do this is because even if our bodies and souls are destroyed, our 'core of existence' will remain, and with it as the center, we can rebuild our bodies and souls."
These words made Shien's heart skip a beat.
If that was the case, didn't that mean …
"What the halfling entrusted to you is her core of existence — [True Seal]."
Anima's voice slowly came to Shien's ears.
"Once it is destroyed, she will disappear completely, and she will never be able to reincarnate and resurrect again."
