Free Web Novel【Though her heart was a tangle of a thousand unwilling thoughts, in the end Liu Yuenuo still chose to kill Bai Hong’s incarnation of malice.】
【There was no other way.】
【Through the long years, she had never found a way to bring Bai Hong back.】
【And as time went on, the incarnation’s power kept growing; the seal was already on the verge of breaking!】
【Even after searching the entire God Realm, she found no divine art to reinforce the seal further.】
【If she let it be, then in at most a few months Bai Hong’s incarnation of malice would burst out.】
【By then, even if Liu Yuenuo wanted to kill it, she likely wouldn’t have the strength to do so.】
【So she could only strike while the incarnation had not fully emerged and try to destroy it with the Undying Heart Lamp!】
【Even with all this decided long ago, when it came time to act, Liu Yuenuo still hesitated.】
【Hence those ten-odd days living in Tongtian Pavilion.】
【Luo Shu and Ye Yu’s appearance greatly surprised her!】
【At first, it felt a bit wrong.】
【Tongtian Pavilion should be all Demon Gods—how could a yokai god sit as master of the Divine Alliance?】
【But later, when she saw Luo Shu acknowledge Ye Yu, Liu Yuenuo let it go.】
【Since the Great Saint deemed it fine, she had no reason to object.】
【Besides, there might soon be no Tongtian Pavilion at all.】
【Liu Yuenuo had no certainty about her battle with the incarnation of malice!】
【At best, they would perish together.】
【So matters after her death didn’t matter.】
【Soon, the day came when the incarnation of malice struck the seal again!】
【The power it raised this time was extremely fierce; there was no doubt it meant to break free!】
【All Liu Yuenuo could do was send Ye Yu and Luo Shu away.】
【Then, relying on the grand formation and the Undying Heart Lamp, kill the incarnation of malice!】
【Only, that plan was far too simple.】
【The incarnation’s power surpassed Liu Yuenuo’s expectations.】
【By ordinary means, there was no way to slay it!】
【Helpless, Liu Yuenuo could only cast a forbidden divine art and turn this place into a secret realm.】
【She dragged the entire Tongtian Pavilion inside.】 freewebnovel.cσ๓
【Then, using the power of the Undying Heart Lamp, she established rules within the realm.】
【So long as everyone forgot Bai Hong’s existence, the incarnation of malice would be burned to ash by the lamp’s flame!】
【The secret realm had already been running for some time.】
【The incarnation’s power was steadily weakening; as it neared demise, Ye Yu appeared.】
【His arrival was a huge variable.】
【When Ye Yu spoke Bai Hong’s name, space warped—that was the power of the rules stopping him.】
【And all of Liu Yuenuo’s strength was tied up keeping the realm running.】
【On ordinary days she had no way to warn him!】
【So to keep Ye Yu from compounding the mistake, Liu Yuenuo had to burn her divine soul to manifest her true self and shake her head at him!】
【But because he mentioned that name even once—】
【The incarnation that was about to dissipate regained a sliver of power.】
【Thus the scene in the Library Pavilion, where it tried to beguile Ye Yu!】
【Fortunately, Ye Yu did not play along.】
【He dragged it out till now and never let anyone learn of Bai Hong’s existence!】
【Only then could Liu Yuenuo reclaim part of the power sustaining the realm and wield the Undying Heart Lamp to finish this incarnation of malice!】
【Though it looked like a clean victory, the price was heavy.】
【The Undying Heart Lamp had long been at the breaking point, and the Endless Heartflame could gutter out at any moment.】
【To keep it burning, she had to feed it with her divine soul as oil!】
【It was, in essence, life for life.】
【So from the start, Liu Yuenuo never expected to survive!】
【That she hadn’t fallen yet was partly thanks to Ye Yu’s timely pills, and partly because the incarnation’s power had been suppressed to a controllable range!】
【Liu Yuenuo had not spent too much divine soul in the end.】
【Thus she snatched her life back.】
【With prolonged recuperation, she would recover as before.】
【But as for how to open the secret realm—Liu Yuenuo truly didn’t know.】
【She had never studied that field much.】
【The forbidden divine art for a secret realm she’d obtained by chance—and this was her first time casting it!】
【So asking her to break the game now was pure fantasy.】
【After hearing Liu Yuenuo’s account, Ye Yu’s head buzzed!】
【“Girl, that’s killing without cleanup!”】
【“You never planned to walk out—but I still want out!”】
【Ye Yu clawed at his hair like mad.】
【He had only one Leave-it-to-Fate Talisman. Having used it, he didn’t even have the chance to run now.】 freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
【And this secret realm was forged by a Divine Lord realm powerhouse.】
【To break it by force would take at least a peak Divine Lord!】
【Neither path would work—at least not anytime soon.】
【Wait—there was one more!】
【Ye Yu’s eyes lit up. He shot toward the Library Pavilion!】
【He remembered seeing books about secret realms there before.】
【If he studied them again, maybe he’d find a new way to break out!】
【Watching his departing back, Liu Yuenuo’s gaze grew complicated.】
【Truthfully, she was very grateful Ye Yu had saved her.】
【But now that she lived, what could she do?】
【Was she to stay in this realm and watch Tongtian Pavilion’s fall a second time?】
【That was a painful memory; Liu Yuenuo refused to relive it.】
【So with a sweep of her sleeve, Luo Shu’s grievously wounded figure vanished, and time resumed its normal flow.】
【Only, those Demon Gods from before would not appear again.】
【In the future, those of the God Race either died or departed.】
【Liu Yuenuo did not want their return to stir up bad memories.】
【Now, she only wanted quiet.】
【Two months passed in a finger-snap.】
【Liu Yuenuo’s divine soul had mostly recovered. Her chief amusement each day was watching Ye Yu try again and again to break the realm.】
【Divine arts, physical force, divine artifacts, and more—】
【Everything he could think of, Ye Yu tried, but the realm remained perfectly intact.】
【Not the slightest sign of collapse.】
【It was her fault, really—why had she made it so strong back then?】
【Had she known she’d live, she would have left an exit.】
【But when the incarnation of malice was on the verge of breaking the seal, there was no time to consider so much!】
【So talking about “back then” or “what if” was useless.】
【Liu Yuenuo looked up at the figure above and said softly, “Come have a cup of tea and take a rest.”】
