Millennium Tension

"Ah! Why did I just realize it now! What a fool of me. Instead of sealing and finding a way to exterminate this damned man's soul, why don't I find a way to melt and refine it so that it can be reused as a resource?"

Zhao Lian adorably hit her own head as she remembered the simplest way but had never crossed her mind in the past thousands or tens of thousands of years.

This Divine Sovereign's soul state had weakened a lot, but the soul of a divine being would still be extraordinary if it was reused as a resource. Jin Jun had separated his spirit from his soul for fear of being sealed off, and this little purple sun was just a tarnished soul.

The soul is needed for the spirit and body to become whole living beings and have the opportunity to reach infinity if done properly. In order to achieve that, the three factors must be cultivated properly and there should be no deficiencies.

Axel will not be able to reach [Rank 9] if there is no Elena who has merged with her. The spirit needs the soul to exist and develop, the soul needs the body to be cultivated together, and the body needs the spirit to gain consciousness, all side by side to grow.

So, the soul Zhao Lian had sealed here for so long was just a helpless soul that she could use at will if she did it right because there was no spirit to protect this poor soul.

"Hehehe... If I do it properly and thoroughly then this soul can be a tremendous resource. Nee~ Axel, can you tell me. If I manage to purify this tainted soul and unite it to [Axel Goddess] what will happen?"

Zhao Lian grinned evilly with an equally evil plan when she saw the purple soul not far from her, she was very like a villain but didn't fit because of her beautiful face.

"It will become a Divine Grade treasure?" Axel tilted her head innocently.

"No, much better than that. You are Axel, the overall consciousness of [Axel Goddess]. I know you have built a system and now I believe you three are in the same system because Axel has modified the ritual to revive Aizen and Ana. If [Axel] Goddess] is a part of your body and has a soul, so the [Axel Goddess] will develop together with you, not simply as an inanimate object." Zhao Lian stretched out her hands to exaggerate the matter.

"What should we do in return?" Axel nodded with a suspicious smile.

"Uh, I want to sincerely help, you know. Maybe that damned man is recovering his strength somewhere, we need to prepare as much as we can in any way to get rid of him later." Zhao Lian replied with a small smile that was hard to describe.

"Really? Where is Zhao Lian who always demands something every time I ask for something? You never give anything away for free." Axel squinted her eyes as if in doubt.

"It's the law of reciprocation, we need to return the favor. I've bet everything on you so I'm in your group too."

"Truly?" Axel asked for confirmation once again.

"Err... Fine. Let me meet my big sister, later I will discuss the favor you need to give me in return hmph!" Zhao Lian snorted and folded her arms as she turned her face to the side.

Aizen and Ana look at this exchange with smiles, the girl who used to be a realm king are still somewhat childish.

"Now give me some time and leave me alone, I need to do something with this soul. I don't know how long it will take for it to melt and purify, I don't care anymore. My revenge will start from here hehe..." Zhao Lian grinned evilly once again when she got up and approached the soul who knows what she will do to it.

"Then we will leave first, Lian. Don't push yourself too much, your soul and spirit can be tarnished too." Aizen was about to leave with Ana and Axel with a gentle reminder, he also changed the way he called Zhao Lian for a similar reason from Ana.

"Yes, thanks for your concern. I know my limits, Aizen. You can return to the real world." Zhao Lian looked back with a small smile, she was rather happy that they all tried to get along with her a little.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel left [Soul Realm], leaving Zhao Lian with a wicked smile as she rubbed her hands together while looking at the soul that would be her test material.

If that damned man had taken everything and destroyed everything, why didn't she do the same to him?

Zhao Lian thought about the amount of kindness she would give the world with her revenge. Jin Jun is a creature who can make his own army and has become a scourge in the middle realm. Her realm was destroyed just because of him, now the day of revenge has arrived asking for karmic retribution.

For the greater good which will begin with the dissolution and purification of his divine soul, then the annihilation of his divine body sealed in this artificial world, then the hunt for his wandering spirit somewhere to be destroyed forever.

That way, all the lives that have died can smile calmly whether they can return to the afterlife or those that have been lost forever.

Zhao Lian has decided to stick with this group from now on because she has invested so much here.

After meeting her big sister later, she only needed to ask Axel to build two new bodies and ask Axel to unite her subtle existence and her big sister into the new body.

That way she and her big sister can start over after taking revenge and start a new step by staying with this group.

The technology they have is so foreign and great, Axel is already adept at modifying many things even techniques and resources to upgrade things only based on information from Zhao Lian and Axel's loot in her and her big sister's artificial realm which is actually their realm that is destroyed.

Little did she know, Axel had used the remaining resources to make the body for the seven fairies with a superior body, Zhao Lian didn't even know the seven fairies.

Zhao Lian will also be forced to make quick decisions and change some of her plans when she meets and finds out about her big sister later. Not to mention the shattered seals and divine body that had escaped.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel return to their bodies inside the multi-layered barrier. The three of them only entered [Soul Realm] in their spirit form because Axel wanted to guide Aizen and Ana to meet Elena.

Axel slowly erased the multi-layered energy barrier then checked the status of the seven fairies which had started giving signs that they were about to wake up.

One by one the seven of them opened their eyes in confusion and got up to look around. They were relieved to see Aizen, Ana, and Axel still there looking after them with smiles.

"Welcome back and also congratulations on breaking into [Rank 3]" Aizen uttered his words.

Seven fairies immediately checked their condition after hearing Aizen's remarks. Their level of strength had shot from [Rank 1 Grade 1] to [Rank 3 Grade 1], they broke through two whole realms in an instant!

"Thank you, Master. With this new power, we will serve you even better."

The seven fairies saluted and expressed their gratitude at the same time. They were delighted by this instantaneous increase in strength.

Since the seven of them didn't have souls at this time, their progress in strength would be slowed down if only supplied by energy and their limit of strength was [Rank 5] before they couldn't go any further before having souls to equip their bodies and spirits.

Shortly afterward, Aizen realized that in one part of the grand hall there was a gate that was no less majestic, a gate that shouldn't be there.

When they first arrived and in battle, this hall was a hall of dead ends with no exits and no gates. So, that majestic gate was a new phenomenon that appeared after the white dragon was defeated.

"Brother Aizen, what gate is that? It was not there before." Ana tries to penetrate the magnificent gate without getting anything.

'As you all had a sudden energy surge that increased your strength, I felt a slight movement of energy from the direction of the gate. Maybe there is the cause. Zhao Lian's big sister?' Axel spoke in her mind.

'That's the most likely thing. Then, we need not hesitate anymore. Let's go there.' Aizen rushes towards the majestic gate that had just appeared while they were in the [Soul Realm].

The database of memory information provided by Zhao Lian was so detailed, she really bet everything on this group. So, now they are no longer in the dark and blind of information about something that comes from the universe beyond the boundary, namely the middle or higher realm.
