“This means that as long as Jinlan Asura doesn't die prematurely, with no lack of resources, opportunities, or talent, it will definitely evolve to the God Level in its lifetime!”

God Foundation, the cornerstone of the God Level!

Mingxi’s furrowed brow, which could hold a cow, slightly relaxed. “Is it because of this God Foundation that the power of the contract between me and it was severed?”

“Not severed, but temporarily shielded.”

But Mingxi's brows still hadn't completely relaxed.

“The God Foundation shouldn’t be easy to form, right? So, is it still in danger?”

Guangguang sighed: “Master, the growth process itself cannot be smooth sailing. Moreover, the formation of the God Foundation is equivalent to seizing the creation of heaven and earth. If it could be achieved simply, how could no Transcendent creature in this universe have evolved to the God Level again?”

Mingxi hummed, she understood the logic, but who could truly remain detached?

The power of the contract between her and Emerald Green was shielded, meaning that Emerald Green was now in a do-or-die situation.

Either successfully shape the God Foundation, or...

“Uh—”

A suppressed groan entered Mingxi's ears.

Her heart tightened, and she saw Emerald Green clenching its teeth, veins bulging on its forehead.

Fine bloodlines had already begun to appear on the surface of its skin, a sign that energy was clashing within its body, almost tearing its meridians apart.

For the first time, a ripple of pain flashed through its originally calm eyes.

It turned out that the life force and death qi currently surging into its body had long exceeded the limit its body could bear.

It could clearly feel its body being torn apart by two uncontrollable forces.

Life force was frantically stimulating its cells, its muscles, bones, and even internal organs were proliferating at a deformed rate, bringing a tearing, bloated pain;

Death qi was simultaneously eroding, lowering its blood temperature and numbing its nerves, as if countless cold vines were rooting in its body, intending to strangle all its life force.

What was even more terrifying was that the balance formed by these two forces within its body was being broken.

The excessive energy caused the rotating heart that was undergoing changes to spin faster and faster, yet also more and more unstable, with even tiny cracks beginning to appear at its edges.

“Master!”

A hint of urgency also entered Guangguang's voice.

“Jinlan Asura's situation is very bad. The energy accumulated in this sea of flowers is too vast. Even if it has the Child of Nature and the Child of Death to buffer it, so much energy surging in is still more than it can bear right now. The God Foundation being shaped will also completely collapse, and then it...”

How could Mingxi not understand Guangguang's unspoken words?

Once the God Foundation shaping began, there were only two possibilities: success or death!

“Is it... not going to hold on?”

A thought flashed, and Emerald Green's gaze subconsciously swept towards Mingxi not far away.

The girl's face was full of solemnity, her red lips tightly pressed, and her usually brilliant, starry eyes were tinged with deep worry.

Emerald Green wanted to smile at her and tell her it was fine, but only suppressed grunts could escape its throat.

Its consciousness was being shaken precariously by the violent energy Impact, and the mental dam maintaining balance had already shown signs of loosening.

Once the dam collapsed, the energy would completely lose control, and it would explode and die instantly. The Impact wave generated by the explosion would be enough to turn the entire sea of flowers, along with Mingxi, into dust.

No!

She absolutely cannot be harmed.

This thought, like a final anchor chain, firmly held Emerald Green's crumbling will.

It tried its best to divert the excess energy in its body outwards, but that energy had already intertwined with its flesh, meridians, and even soul. Each diversion was like carving out a part of itself, and the intense pain made its vision go black in waves.

It had once endured unimaginable and cruel torment, physical and mental, day and night, endlessly.

It had endured all of that back then.

There was no reason it couldn't endure a mere sea of flowers now!

“Jin!”

With a sharp roar, the aura around Emerald Green slowly [N O V E L I G H T] stabilized, but how long could such stability last?

“No... if this continues...”

Mingxi watched as the bloodlines on Emerald Green's body became denser and denser, and the rotation of the energy vortex became more and more chaotic.

She knew that Emerald Green's situation had not improved.

She couldn't just watch Emerald Green get into trouble.

She couldn't let the Emerald Green, who was always calm and reliable, protecting and doting on her like a Little Human, fight this destructive torrent alone!

“Life and death... life and destruction!” Mingxi murmured to herself, and a bold, almost crazy thought formed in her mind.

The energy Emerald Green couldn't absorb... perhaps her Origin of Life and Destruction could!

Sensing Mingxi's thoughts, Guangguang quickly deduced, “Master, the Origin of Life and Destruction and life-and-death energy seem similar, but there is still a fundamental difference.

The former is life and destruction, the source and foundation of the universe's birth and existence.

The latter is just a type of energy.

The Origin of Life and Destruction may not react to life-and-death energy at all.”

The Origin of Life and Destruction could encompass life and death, but would a few elephants be interested in ants?

“I understand.”

But she couldn't not try!

At the same time, she also felt the thoughts conveyed by Golden Yuanbao and the others.

“Alright, let's go for it!”

Once Mingxi made a decision, she would execute it regardless of the consequences.

Without the slightest hesitation, she took a few steps forward like a moth to a flame, already standing in the middle of the sea of flowers.

The moment she entered the sea of flowers, the violent energy immediately rushed towards her figure like sharks smelling blood.

In an instant, Mingxi's body was instantly submerged by interwoven gray and green light.

Life force tried to urge her body to grow into a monster, while death qi tried to instantly freeze her into an ice sculpture.

The intense pain almost made her faint, but she held on tightly, using the pain to stay conscious.

She could feel her body disintegrating at an unimaginable speed. If she hadn't possessed two special physiques, she would probably have already turned into a handful of dust.

Because the power of the contract was shielded, Emerald Green did not know Mingxi's decision, but suddenly felt the pressure on its body lessen slightly.

It opened its eyes with difficulty, and the sight it saw made its heart stop—

Mingxi! It's the Little Human!

The human it had tried its best to protect, its Beast Tamers, was now bathed in a deadly energy flow, her tiny body like a broken porcelain doll, actively absorbing the excess energy that could make her explode!

“Jin!”

Emerald Green, who had endured the cruelest torment in the world and had never shed a single tear, could not control two lines of bloody tears flowing from its eyes.

“Don't cry, I'm fine.”

A smile appeared on her pale, cracked face.

Mingxi closed her eyes, concentrating all her mental power, communicating with the long-dormant core of the Origin in her mental sea.

“Origin of Life and Destruction! Wake up, you old hag!”
