Lu Ming nodded repeatedly.
He truly had come to appreciate this little girl, Rain.
Afterwards, he gently waved his hand.
“Go on, I believe you’re ready.”
A flash of green light passed before his eyes.
Rain regained consciousness.
The first thing she saw was a stone statue standing before her.
A massive lump of scarlet slime, carrying a terrifying, scorching aura, came hurtling toward her.
It moved at incredible speed, crossing several kilometers in less than an instant.
Just as it was about to hit—
The key-shaped ornament on the stone statue’s chest suddenly emitted a clear, brilliant light.
An invisible barrier enveloped Rain and the stone statue.
The slime crashed down but was blocked outside the barrier.
“You are… Watcher, Your Highness!”
Rain’s eyes narrowed as she stared in shock at the statue shielding her.
It was the one who had willingly become a statue, sealing away “Immortality” along with itself—a demigod, the Watcher.
A benevolent god, aligned with the Goddess of Fertility.
The statue’s eyes were fixed on Rain, as if watching her, or perhaps encouraging her.
Rain silently praised the Watcher in her heart.
Then, her body began to rise slowly.
She drifted into the sky, a pillar of green light connecting heaven and earth appearing behind her.
Within the pillar, a presence seemingly unbound by this world transcended time and space.
It simply floated there, indistinct in form and visage.
Yet no one could ignore it.
Rain gazed upon it with utter infatuation, immersed in its gentle radiance.
Gradually, she drew closer, embracing it. The two figures merged into one.
Rain’s features slowly changed, taking on the appearance of Lu Ming.
Brilliant golden patterns spread across her body, and soft, pale green hair flowed down naturally.
Her stunning beauty even caused “Messiah” to pause in surprise.
“So, this is your true form.”
After the Divine Descent, Lu Ming’s divine consciousness took control of Rain’s body.
The Evil-Eyed Worm sensed the arrival of a demigod aura full of menace.
It instantly grew alert.
Upon realizing it was Lu Ming, its foul maw opened wide, spewing out dozens of mouthfuls of sticky phlegm.
Then, with a toss of its head, tens of thousands of Evil Eyes detached from its body, turning into pitch-black meteors.
They hurtled toward Lu Ming.
Each was five meters in diameter; if all landed, it would be utter devastation.
With a gentle sweep of her hand through the void, she summoned a green membrane that expanded into a vast net, rushing toward the Evil Eyes.
As they collided—
The green net remained unscathed, ensnaring the Evil Eyes and the dozens of scarlet slime masses.
It dragged them back toward the Evil-Eyed Worm.
The creature sensed imminent danger.
But before it could squirm away, the divine net had already bound it tight.
The Evil Eyes and slime all struck its body.
Tens of thousands of deafening explosions shook the entire City of Lai to its core.
The slime, however, was neutralized by its own immunity.
The Evil-Eyed Worm, battered and miserable, hung its head low.
Then—
Lu Ming lightly raised her left hand and pressed it downward.
The power of law materialized.
The Evil-Eyed Worm seemed to smash into an unbreakable wall, its body slammed to the ground.
It crashed down with a tremendous impact.
Then—
Lu Ming spread her arms wide, an intense aura of life rippling from her body.
“Life does not bring destruction, but purification.”
As she spoke, she secretly activated the Authority of Life, and “Immortality,” to rewrite the rules.
“The vitality of the Evil-Eyed Worm shall spread throughout the world.”
With those words, the demigod-level life force of the Evil-Eyed Worm was instantly drawn out.
Then sent across the world.
In that moment, all of Parallel Blue Star was suffused with a faint green vitality.
Those who had seen the Evil-Eyed Worm, or were mutated by the Pollution it emitted—
The instant they came into contact with this demigod-level vitality,
Their bodies ceased mutating at once.
They reverted back toward their original level of life.
***
Bourn City.
Still at that blocked corner.
The two entangled best friends finally regained consciousness.
Ruth stared blankly at Yar, who was tightly locked with her.
Though they usually shared a bed, this level of intimacy still made her uncomfortable.
After smacking her friend awake,
The two finally got to their feet.
Yar clutched her face in grievance, her eyes filled with resentment as she glared at Ruth.
“We were supposed to switch drivers, Ruth! Why’d you hit me?”
“Yar, don’t you feel like you’ve forgotten something?”
“I keep feeling like… you just mutated into a person-shaped worm with a bunch of eyes!”
“Ruth, what are you talkin—” Yar began, then suddenly stopped.
An impossibly beautiful, towering figure appeared in her mind.
She was fighting a giant worm?
The two girls locked eyes, shock and awe filling their faces.
“That was… the Goddess of Fertility!?”
***
The Evil-Eyed Worm felt its vitality draining rapidly and grew frantic with fear.
Its terror toward Lu Ming now rivaled that of the unknown Ancient Evil.
The Evil-Eyed Worm struggled desperately, trying to slip into a nearby crevice.
Lu Ming gazed over with cold indifference, that divine stare—
With just a glance,
It was as if the worm had been abandoned by the entire world.
A profound sense of displacement rose in the Evil-Eyed Worm’s heart.
“Evil-Eyed Worm, aggregate of all things foul—you are not on my list of forgiveness.”
With those words,
Lu Ming nimbly twisted Rain’s body, executed a smooth spin, and swept a kick.
An attack from nowhere, yet it landed solidly on the Evil-Eyed Worm.
Its huge form was sent flying, then crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
The struck spot was deeply dented, leaking scarlet blood tinged with faint gold.
Moreover, the strange aura of Pollution on its body began to dissipate.
Lu Ming did not relent.
A few more elegant, swift kicks followed, displaying the full grace and hidden strength of Rain’s physique.
“Messiah” fell deep in thought, even more curious about Lu Ming.
“The Goddess of Fertility even knows martial arts? That’s truly unexpected.”
“Perhaps… they really do harbor no malice toward humanity…”
After a few moves,
The Evil-Eyed Worm was utterly still.
Its demigod vitality was nearly depleted.
The lingering Pollution was almost gone as well.
Lu Ming’s form grew faint.
Then he separated from Rain’s body, turning once more into a blurred figure.
Rain, panting and drenched in sweat, looked at Lu Ming.
She was puzzled—her limbs were intact, and she didn’t feel any loss of lifespan.
Perhaps sensing her doubts,
Lu Ming spoke to explain.
“Life itself is an adventure that requires courage. If you respect life, life will respect you.”
Of course, he was just spouting nonsense.
He wasn’t a true god yet—just a demigod. What harm could he do to Rain’s body, really?
If anything, quite a lot…
To put it nicely, this was a Divine Descent. Less nicely, it was just a high-level stand-in.
Lu Ming’s voice was ethereal and distant, yet echoed crystal clear in the ears of Rain and “Messiah.”
Rain’s eyes were filled with Lu Ming.
Her face showed deep shock; she sensed a revelation in his words and tried to grasp it.
“Goddess of Fertility, I’ve long admired your name. They call me ‘Messiah’—you may address me as such.”
“Messiah” appeared beside Rain.
Now in a new body: a graceful, mature woman in yoga pants.
“A pleasure to meet you,” Lu Ming greeted with a slight nod.
Then he paid no further heed to the hesitant “Messiah.”Lu Ming nodded repeatedly.
He truly had come to appreciate this little girl, Rain.
