The restoration, reshaping, and complete reconstruction of a small world requires immense energy. Bai Xi, wielding the scales and the scepter of the supreme god, transformed into a ball of light nearly as large as the sun, floating at the highest point in space.
Her skirt billowed with the surge of magic, the pure white fabric dancing in the air like ribbons. The divine power around Bai Xi was dissipating at an exaggerated speed, repairing this small world belonging to the elemental spirits.
She herself didn't know how much time had passed. All she knew was that her powerful body felt like it was being drained, and she felt a little weak.
"..."
Bai Xi closed her eyes. She had overestimated herself. The power she gained was too easy and simple, which made her mistakenly believe that she could really become invincible. In fact, she was proven wrong.
With this kind of strength, standing at the pinnacle of the gods on the continent of Coral should be no problem, but dealing with the Abyss... would still be a bit difficult.
Fortunately, before her final duel with Tartarus, she had a chance to explore the body's true nature.
Now, the help from the elemental spirits is too little for her, and she no longer needs their magic; she has to rely entirely on herself.
This is where the saying "the will is willing, but the ability is insufficient" becomes apparent.
Fortunately, Bai Xi has a good mental fortitude and is adept at pushing herself to the limit. So, to outsiders, she appears to be perfectly fine, continuously releasing divine power while repairing the Elemental Source Realm and helping the Elemental King plug the original loopholes.
Only in this way can the Elemental King cease his decline and completely save the Elemental Source Realm after it is restored.
"She really did it, shouldn't I also keep my promise?"
The little ghost stared at Bai Xi. He was no longer angry. Anyone who saw their friend making such a sacrifice for their homeland would not be able to stay angry. However, he was now troubled by something else.
Although he is an elemental spirit, he has existed as a 'recorder of history' since his birth, which is why he knows so much.
He had promised Bai Xi that if he became powerful enough to be a god, he would form a contract with her as an elemental spirit and reveal his true name to her.
He was very confident in his extensive knowledge, but now it seems...
It seems that Bai Xi no longer needs him. She has grown to the point that even the king needs her help. Does Bai Xi really still need him now?
The little ghost was lost in thought, and even after the Elemental Source Realm returned to its original state and the Elemental King's weakness had mostly recovered, he was still so engrossed in his own thoughts that he didn't even notice when Roy approached him.
"Why are you still spacing out? We should go find Bai Xi!"
Roy has reverted to his boyish form, and the flame mark representing 'demon' between his eyebrows is still as prominent as ever. Perhaps because of his rapid growth, he still speaks in a playful and lively tone, much like a lower-level elf, without any sign of maturity.
Unbeknownst to many, upon reverting to his advanced form, he once again revealed the mark of a 'demon'.
The little ghost was brought back to consciousness and looked up to see the pattern on Roy's forehead. He fell silent for a moment.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Roy and the little ghost locked eyes, Roy's gaze still somewhat bewildered, wondering why he was suddenly looking at him with such a complicated expression.
"you...."
The little ghost hesitated, as if he was worried about something.
About Baixi.
He only recently learned that Roy had demonic blood, and if Bai Xi minded...
Roy will definitely be heartbroken.
At this moment, he was no longer worried about whether he, as an elemental spirit, was worthy of Bai Xi's strength, but rather that Bai Xi would look down on Luo Yi, since Luo Yi had suffered many scornful looks in the past because of this flame pattern.
The little ghost also returned to his teenage form. The two of them stood together, looking like good friends, whispering intimately to each other.
At the same time, Bai Xi recovered from the exhaustion and despair she had almost experienced, and realized that life was full of dangers, because she had almost lost her balance and fallen off the clouds.
He just had such a cool scene, finally got to show off, and even played the savior. If he were to fall like this, wouldn't that be the most ridiculous thing ever?
Thinking this, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, but when she turned her head, she saw Luo Yi and Little Ghost standing side by side, looking at her with indescribable expressions. When they saw her gaze, the two boys turned their heads away and started whispering to each other, no longer looking at her.
It was as if they were looking down on her.
"?"
Bai Xi wondered what she had done wrong.
Why am I being disliked?
Or is the little ghost still angry about Roy dying for her? If so, she really should apologize, but she's just too tired right now...
Bai Xi sighed inwardly, feeling helpless, but there was nothing she could do.
She steadied herself, preparing to descend and ask what had happened, perhaps seeking forgiveness from the little ghost.
But just as she landed halfway down, before she even got close to the Elemental King, Philomona, Loy, and the little ghost, she saw them all turn around and look towards the entrance to the Elemental Source Realm. Even Bai Xi herself sensed something and looked up as well.
"It's the gods! Why are they all here?"
A hint of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the Elemental King. He hated gods, so when he sensed that it was them, he felt an intense dislike for them.
There's a saying, "Love me, love my dog," but naturally, there's also the saying, "Hate me, love my dog."
With his people treated like that, how could he, as king, possibly still like those gods?
"..."
Bai Xi froze, almost falling again because of those words, because she knew that those guys were probably looking for her, but she didn't expect them to be able to chase her all the way into the Elemental Source Realm.
It's also possible that the Elemental King has weakened so much that the Elemental Source Realm's location has been exposed.
If it were during the Elemental King's prime, the gods would not have been able to discover this place.
Bai Xi sighed inwardly. What was bound to happen would happen. From the moment she regained her memories, she knew that some things could not be avoided and could only be faced.
"I'm going out to see them."
Bai Xi took the initiative to speak, thus avoiding putting the Elemental King in a difficult position.
"Are they looking for you? What do they want?"
Filomona noticed that Baixi was not right and probably knew that she was a little weak. So she disapproved of Baixi's idea of facing a group of men right now, which was evident in her tone of voice.
Before Bai Xi could answer, the little ghost next to her pouted and quietly added a word.
"Emotional debts".
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xi was completely flustered, while Philomona gave her a knowing smile and a knowing look.
"Oh~ I didn't expect that we had similar hobbies. No wonder we get along so well."
