Mi Jiu probably couldn’t have dreamed of it. The god she was referring to is now not far from her. Not only does he intend to stand by and watch, he even planned to use her as a guinea pig…

Chen Ling’s inner thoughts: You can rest assured, I will take good care of this guy for you…

“What do you mean?” Yu Fengying squinted his eyes, his expression complex, and his gaze fixedly on Mi Jiu.

Mi Jiu took a deep breath, and an image appeared in her mind: “Have you seen a true god?”

Yu Fengying was startled, a true god? Who has seen one?

“I have.”

!!

A shock ran through Yu Fengying’s mind, and he squinted his eyes.

“His power, even if you were to absorb all the energy within me, you wouldn’t be able to reach it.”

“Even if you were to devour all the Star Leaders, you still wouldn’t reach it. He’s the real god.”

In fact, Mi Jiu was just making things up; she wasn’t sure whether Yu Fengying’s absorption of eleven Star Leaders could match Chen Ling’s power. She could only try to delay as much as possible.

“Who? Who is he?” The smile on Yu Fengying’s face had disappeared, “The master of the sun?”

Yu Fengying looked coldly at Mi Jiu, “Yes, the Sun God…”

Chen Ling: “…”

Sun God?

You’re quite creative with names…

But that’s not me, you’ve got the wrong person. I’m just an intern, thank you…

“Heh… just a child, not worth fearing.”

Yu Fengying still believed that the master of the sun was just a recently awakened curse star holder. The sun had just been bound, which meant its master wasn’t very old. A child, no matter how strong, was still a child. Easily playing him to death.

Mi Jiu shook her head: “He’s already an adult.”

Yu Fengying smiled, not taking it seriously at all:

“How about this, you tell me where he is, and I’ll spare your life? How’s that?”

Mi Jiu suddenly laughed at his words, a heartbreakingly desolate smile on her face: “Are you seeking death?”

At this moment, the eleven Star Leaders had arrived!

〚 Aries Star Leader: Chen Tianming, male 〛
〚 Leo Star Leader: Shi Feng, male 〛
〚 Sagittarius Star Leader: Mingyue Luli, female 〛
〚 Cancer Star Leader: Zhu Yi, male 〛
〚 Scorpio Star Leader: Xin Zhi’an, female 〛
〚 Libra Star Leader: Zhong Lechen, male 〛
〚 Aquarius Star Leader: Feng Ling, male 〛
〚 Gemini Star Leader: Yun Yan, female 〛
〚 Taurus Star Leader: Dongfang He, male 〛
〚 Virgo Star Leader: Qianhui, female 〛
〚 Capricorn Star Leader: Shi Yu, female 〛

Each one was a powerhouse and collectively guarded this world.

Their expressions were all extremely grave.

Taurus Star Leader Dongfang He spoke in a deep voice: “Chen Tianming, weren’t you with her before? What’s going on?”

At this point, everyone was standing on the surface of the sea, their auras already dispersed. But they couldn’t find any trace of Mi Jiu.

“Whoosh!”

Yu Fengying clearly felt the immense power of the eleven Star Leaders sweeping through his secret underwater base. But he remained confident that they wouldn’t be able to find him so easily.

Chen Tianming said nothing and then “BOOM!” he dove into the sea!

His intuition told him that Mi Jiu was below.

Seeing this, the others immediately followed suit and plunged into the sea.

However, even though their energy and auras filled the entire ocean, they couldn’t detect any trace.

“Where is she!?”

Everyone was starting to feel anxious now. If they found Mi Jiu a second later, they might be facing a newly ascended dark mage who had become a god!

Just then, the dark underwater world suddenly became illuminated by a golden light. Terrifying energy raged beneath the sea, rapidly raising the temperature of the entire ocean. The golden light turned the entire ocean into a golden hue.

This was the Aries Constellation’s forbidden spell: 〚 World-Piercing Dark Flames. 〛

Chen Tianming wanted to blow apart the entire underwater world!

With this forbidden spell in action, what would happen to the coastal regions of the Fire Nation? How many lives would be lost? No one could predict.

Even across the sea, the Water Nation would suffer significant damage.

However, Chen Tianming had no choice. He had to do this. If Mi Jiu was consumed by that dark mage, the entire world would be destroyed.

Furthermore, he had feelings for Mi Jiu.

The other Forbidden Curse Masters were also not idle as they released their forbidden spells. In this radiant golden underwater world, they searched everywhere.

And Yu Fengying, who was hidden underground through special means, had already begun absorbing energy. He knew there was no time left. Although this place was concealed, it was only a matter of time before the Star Leaders found him.

So he opened his mouth wide and lunged for Mi Jiu’s snowy white neck. At the same time, the array under his feet started to shine brightly.

In that moment, Mi Jiu’s eyes transformed from a daze to shock, disgust, and nausea. In that moment, the image of Yu Fengying in her heart completely shattered. The kind and caring Yu Fengying, who treated her as his own, was already dead.

“Get away! Ah!”

“Don’t touch me!”

Mi Jiu suddenly began to struggle frantically, feeling sick at this moment!

“Tear!”

Yu Fengying ruthlessly tore a piece of flesh from her neck.

Mi Jiu’s voice disappeared instantly; she couldn’t make a sound. But she hadn’t died yet; she just tilted her head, tears streaming down her face, mouth open, but no sound came out.

Blood spurted from her major artery, staining the array on the ground red. The array suddenly emitted a burst of bloody light, a powerful energy surged and flowed into Yu Fengying’s body.

Yu Fengying chewed the flesh in his mouth, swallowed it with a gulp, and devoured his own meal. He didn’t bite again, because the water-blue energy within Mi Jiu’s body was visibly being absorbed by the array on the ground. Then it flowed into his body. This would be enough.

Once the energy within Mi Jiu’s body was depleted, her blood flowed out, and she would die. Her curse star would also lose its radiance.

For the first time, the girl who was regarded as a deity by the world felt so utterly helpless. After all, she was just a human, not a god.

If she were a god, perhaps she wouldn’t have emotions, and she wouldn’t hesitate when faced with his face. She was capable of defeating him, but she faltered in that moment of hesitation.

In the end, she realized that she was not worthy of being the Pisces Constellation’s leader. At this moment, Mi Jiu was filled with overwhelming regret.

She couldn’t help but ask the heavens: Why did you choose me to be the constellation leader? I really don’t deserve it…

Would the outcome be different if it were someone else…

She wasn’t the only one who could feel the energy within her dissipating. People all around the world felt it too!

Above the darkness of the night, within the massive Pisces constellation, the brightest star twinkled intensely for a moment. Then, it dimmed visibly at a pace perceivable by the naked eye.

The entire constellation was affected by this, causing fluctuations in the energy within every Pisces constellation mage.

The “Dawn’s Execution Edict” was still in effect, and no one dared to raise their head. However, they sensed the change in the celestial power above the sky. Undoubtedly, it was the energy of the Pisces constellation.

Everyone’s hearts tightened!

Please…

Protect the Pisces Constellation’s leader! Please, nothing bad happen.

Whether or not they were Pisces individuals, everyone was praying in this way. The constellation leaders were the embodiment of people’s faith in this world.

At this moment, the collective calling and praying of everyone seemed to reach Mi Jiu’s heart. She felt a pang in her heart.

She remembered the moment when she had risen to power, and people all around the world had kneeled before her, offering their profound gestures of respect, along with cheers. She remembered the unwavering trust in their eyes.

At that moment, Mi Jiu had sworn to protect them with all her might. But now, those lovely people might meet an unfortunate fate due to her negligence. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. Her heart was torn like a knife.

Tears welled up once again, and she closed her eyes weakly. I’m sorry, I’ve let down your hopes…

At the moment when the energy within her was nearly depleted, the image of Chen Ling suddenly appeared in Mi Jiu’s mind.

The young man who had kicked Chen Tianming away.

Chen Ling…

Please save my people.

If you can hear me…

Of course, Chen Ling couldn’t hear, but he could see the sentiment in her heart.

Inner thought: Absolutely, you can rest assured…

〚 Ding~ Mi Jiu’s emotions are abnormal, points deducted: 100 billion… 〛

Wait, what!?

Chen Ling was stunned on the spot.

Holy Hell! What did I just see!?

And right at that moment, a powerful surge of energy erupted before Chen Ling’s eyes.

That energy made Chen Ling squint involuntarily.

“Hahaha~”

It was Yu Fengying’s laughter.

“So, this is the power of a god!”
