The air was still and silent. Bai Xi sat quietly by the pool, with Ulysses beside her. The moment was peaceful and serene.
But the next second, Bai Xi's expression changed, because she heard the call of the goddess of the dead.
"Bai Xi, the gaze cast by the world's consciousness has disappeared. Hurry up."
Bai Xi knew what she was talking about, and it was something she asked the Goddess of the Dead to do: to reverse the 'vision' of the world's consciousness so that if she could seize an opportunity, Bai Xi could send the souls of the Seven Gods into reincarnation without pain.
However, this was just a gamble on a possibility; she never expected that the world's consciousness would actually give up monitoring her.
"I see."
Bai Xi responded to her earnestly in her heart, then gave Ulysses a look and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
She's going to hell.
There is an angel there who uses the pool of reincarnation to collect the souls of heroes and transform them into angels, but it has not yet been obtained by the angels, and there is only El in the Angel Temple.
Before the world's consciousness takes control of the 'Pool of Reincarnation,' send the souls of the seven gods into it. Their souls will not dissipate; with her blessing and protection, they will eventually become living beings again.
This wasn't the first time Ulysses had been suddenly left standing there by Bai Xi, but he could only helplessly rub his nose and then darted off to chase after her.
Having grown accustomed to Bai Xi's ways, Ulysses was already quite satisfied that Bai Xi would give him a look before leaving.
Isn't this a kind of progress?
Little did he know that Bai Xi was simply too anxious to explain to him.
The two figures headed towards Hell one after the other. The fire at the 'Gates of Hell' burned fiercely, but both Bai Xi and Ulysses passed through without changing their expressions.
The original site of the 'Pool of Reincarnation' is inside the Demon King's Castle, but the Demon King's Castle has not yet been built.
After all, even Saphis hadn't been born yet.
But you can still find the location on Baixi.
The sky above hell was as blood red as ever, but today it seemed to have taken on a different color, faintly tinged with dark purple. However, Bai Xi was too anxious to notice this detail.
When she rushed to the 'Pool of Reincarnation', the water inside was so calm that not a ripple could be seen.
Bai Xi had kept her memories of the 'Pool of Reincarnation' hidden to prevent the world's consciousness from realizing what was happening and cutting off her escape route or discovering her purpose.
The fact that such a clean pool of water would appear in hell is itself a miraculous thing; it is crystal clear and without any impurities or filth.
But... the 'Pool of Reincarnation' that Bai Xi saw in the future had been tainted by the power of demons and was not as clean as it is now.
These thoughts of Bai Xi only flashed through her mind for a moment. She shook her head and quickly summoned the goddess of the dead from her body.
A vague female figure appeared before her eyes, exuding a strong aura of death. At first glance, she might mistake it for a vengeful ghost, but in Bai Xi's eyes, they were all pretty much the same.
Knowing that time was of the essence, the Goddess of the Dead quickly cast the eight purified souls into the 'Pool of Reincarnation' before letting out a long breath. Brick looked at Bai Xi with pride on his face.
"I've done what I promised you."
She had witnessed everything Baixi had done during this time, including what happened between Baixi and the world consciousness, and all the pressure and choices she had endured.
She even knew that Bai Xi would eventually disappear completely.
She once thought that Bai Xi became the savior only because of luck and a little bit of insignificant effort.
But after seeing all the preparations Bai Xi had made, and her unwavering commitment to sacrificing herself for this continent, even unto death, the Goddess of the Dead pondered in silence for a long time.
In the end, she had to admit that Bai Xi was indeed more suitable to be the savior; she couldn't do it.
Even if she were a living being, she couldn't do that.
"Yes, thank you."
Bai Xi looked at the eight souls of different colors that appeared in the 'Pool of Reincarnation'. They were swimming aimlessly like small fish. A relaxed smile appeared on her face, and she sincerely thanked the Goddess of the Dead.
"No need to thank me, you paid the price."
The goddess of death turned her head, her tone tinged with unease. Acknowledging the charisma of an enemy is a difficult thing.
If she weren't deeply embedded in Bai Xi's soul, she wouldn't know these things, and therefore wouldn't be able to genuinely identify with Bai Xi.
However, there are no "what ifs." Although she was reluctant, she was still impressed by Bai Xi's choice.
There is no shortage of idealists in this world, but most people are selfish. So when you see an idealist, some people will feel ashamed, while others will be furious.
The Goddess of the Dead didn't consider herself a good person, but she wouldn't go against a savior who truly wanted to save the world and was willing to sacrifice herself.
"Thank you anyway."
This was Bai Xi's only concern and worry before she went all in to complete her final mission, and now that it was resolved, she felt more relaxed than ever before.
Ulysses was much slower than Baixi. When he arrived, he only saw Baixi communicating with a spirit in front of a very magical pool.
He stepped forward, intending to speak to Bai Xi, when he heard them talking.
"In short, killing me now will definitely affect the future and karma. If you don't kill me, you will never have another chance."
Ulysses heard the female ghost say.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was actually the vanished goddess of the dead.
As if by some strange twist of fate, he concealed his presence and did not appear immediately.
Then he heard Bai Xi say something.
"I no longer intend to kill you."
In the face of life and death, it seems that past grievances can all turn into smoke and slowly dissipate.
"Well, I actually... admire you a little, although I won't remember you."
The goddess of the dead continued.
Upon hearing this, Ulysses's temple throbbed twice, and a gloomy feeling immediately settled over him. It was as if the loneliness and aloofness he had felt when he was with Bai Xi now had a reason.
"I will let you go before I fall asleep."
He heard Bai Xi speak in a very calm tone.
"Then it's a deal. The item hasn't returned yet, but to avoid being discovered, I'll head back first."
The goddess of the dead was unusually polite, which made Ulysses feel inexplicably strange.
He'd seen it before—the Goddess of the Dead relentlessly targeting Bai Xi—so why now...?
They were as harmonious as good friends, and they were talking about things he didn't know.
As the spirit of the goddess of the dead disappeared into Bai Xi's body, Ulysses was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether to pretend he hadn't heard or to demand an answer from Bai Xi.
