Immediately afterwards, a beam of light pierced through the array of spiritual light covering the city without restriction, heading straight for Liu Shaojie, who had fallen to the ground.
The unfortunate mind mage didn't have time to dodge, and the light struck him squarely between the eyebrows.
Liu Shaojie is dead.
Ningxing has arrived.
He stood in the very center of the cracked ground, holding a cane of medium length, and glanced around slightly.
Collapsed buildings, raging fires, and displaced crowds came into view.
After a short while, he calmly turned to Zhu Hongyu and said, "Quickly restore order to Ling'an City, and then organize the believers of the Goddess of Nature to convert to our Lord."
There are no enemies of any tier here; you should be able to do that.
Goddess of Nature?
Is He not an ally of our Lord?
What happened?
Zhu Hongyu was immediately filled with many questions, but she wisely suppressed them and replied in a deep voice:
"Understood, but I need to familiarize myself with my new power a little."
"Um…"
Ning Xingxiu nodded slightly, then suddenly rose into the sky, and the city was bathed in light.
[Earth] Path...
Zhu Hongyu withdrew her gaze, took a moment to process it, and quickly understood the characteristics of this approach.
It allows one to manipulate the "earth element" and gain some magical abilities, somewhat similar to the [Catastrophe] path, but with a profound symbolic meaning.
In short, standing on the ground allows you to transfer damage and gain a significant power boost.
It can manipulate gravity within a certain range, condense rocks and even diamonds... it can travel underground, and change the landscape and environment, etc.
[Earth] Passage... Is my lord hoping I will become more composed? Is this an expectation he has of me?
While experiencing the uniqueness of the new pathway to grace, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but let her thoughts wander.
Her gaze wandered aimlessly until she spotted a dilapidated fast food restaurant not far away.
A handsome young man dressed as a chef stared at her in astonishment, muttering to himself:
"Wow, amazing! I can actually witness a battle between high-level Divine Graces."
Their eyes met unexpectedly. The young man was startled at first, then spoke as if possessed:
"Um... are you hungry after you finished playing?"
Zhu Hongyu asked, puzzled, "What?"
"I'll give you a free spicy duck tongue."
The young man pointed to his mouth, slurring his words as he showed it off, saying, "Look~ spicy duck tongue."
Zhu Hongyu's cheek twitched almost imperceptibly. "Uh...no, thank you. But what did you do before? Under Huan Yu's command?"
"No, I used to be a chef, but I was quite well-known at Red & Blue Romance."
The young man took back the spicy duck tongues and proudly said:
"After all, I can provide a one-stop service for guests to eat, drink, play, and have fun... If you don't like spicy flavor, you can change to another flavor. Watching you fight must be tiring."
"No need, really no need." Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but imagine the scene and felt a phantom pain in her tongue.
Wait, who am I identifying with?
No, it sounds weird no matter who you put it into!
And I feel that with your talent, you would be famous in any romantic setting.
Somewhat bewildered, she asked, "So, do you prefer life now, or did you prefer the past?"
Without hesitation, the young man replied, "I'm not crazy, of course I like it now, otherwise why would I treat you to a meal for free?"
but…"
He asked with a hint of anticipation, "Can't I really go back to my old ways?"
"This isn't my responsibility..."
Zhu Hongyu brushed the ground and merged into the earth.
Oh right... This is Ling'an City, a city once controlled by the Mentor of Desire.
Calm down, be more thoughtful, be more tolerant.
Suddenly, a strange feeling traveled through the earth to her heart.
Is the earth...wailing?
No, it's angry!
