Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 113 The Spring in the Lava, Cai'er's Jailer
In the center of the dwarven ruins, the aftershocks of the battle gradually subsided.

Moonbeam folded up the Thousand Chance Umbrella and let out a long sigh of relief.

Scattered on the ground were the broken bodies of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon and seven seventh-tier demons.

Although the burst state lasts for a limited time, a full-force attack from a ninth-tier divine chosen one is something that an eighth-tier demon cannot withstand.

Therefore, this battle lasted no more than ten breaths from start to finish.

"Moonlight!" Cai'er flashed to his side, her slender arm firmly supporting his arm.

"Are you ok?"

"It's nothing," Yuehui forced a smile. "It's just a backlash from the pill. I'll be fine after a rest."

"The source of life!"

Ye Xiaolei's petite figure floated over, and emerald green fluorescent light poured from her palm, gently enveloping the moonlight.

As the warm current flowed through his meridians, the stinging sensation caused by the violent spiritual energy was immediately reduced by more than half.

"Thank you." Yuehui's complexion regained some color.

Ye Xiaolei wrinkled her little nose: "Didn't you say that I can't be summoned in the demon territory? That annoying Demon Emperor will sense it!"

"Don't worry," Yuehui rubbed her little head, "This is a secret realm, isolated from the outside world. Even if Fengxiu is strong, she won't be able to sense this place."

Ye Xiaolei then curiously looked around, her eyes suddenly widening: "Huh? Is this the dwarf race's secret realm?"

"Smart." Moonlight nodded approvingly. "However, unlike Dream Paradise, it seems there are no administrators here."

"Perhaps they have all perished."

Ye Xiaolei lowered her eyes, a trace of sadness flashing across her young face, but she quickly broke into a bright smile:
"But they left behind something good!"

"Where?" Wang Yuanyuan, who was cleaning up the battlefield, immediately straightened up, her eyes shining.

Ye Xiaolei raised her delicate chin and gestured towards the enormous furnace above her head:
"Here~"

"Inside?" Lu Xi looked up. "So many years have passed, even if there were divine artifacts, they should be obsolete by now, right?"

"No, that's not true!" Ye Xiaolei crossed her arms. "The ingredients inside aren't finished yet; it'll take at least a few more days!"

"It's not finished yet?!" Everyone exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.

Moonlight looked around thoughtfully at the flowing lava: "You mean this furnace is still running?"

Ye Xiaolei nodded and said, "Dwarves are natural warriors and blacksmiths. Half of the divine artifacts that have ever appeared on the continent were made by them."

"But the artifacts are imbued with spirits, and the tradition of the dwarves is to sacrifice themselves—to offer themselves as a sacrifice to the most satisfying creation."

She looked at the furnace, "I'm afraid the last dwarven master of this secret realm sacrificed himself to this final work thousands of years ago."

"No way, how could there still be such a race? No wonder they went extinct." Chen Ying'er clicked her tongue.

Moonlight suddenly asked, "Little Tears, do you know about the Giant Spirit God?"

"Giant Spirit God?" Ye Xiaolei frowned slightly.

“Yes,” Moonbeam nodded, “In this secret realm, I found a bloodline weapon that only those with the bloodline of the Giant Spirit God can use.”

"That must be a god born from the dwarf race," Ye Xiaolei speculated.

"No way?" Lu Xi looked at the tall Wang Yuanyuan in surprise. "Wang Yuanyuan has dwarf blood? It doesn't seem like it."

Ye Xiaolei immediately rolled her eyes: "What are you thinking! Who told you that dwarves are short? Back then, humans hadn't entered the world stage yet, and there was a race called the Giants on the Spirit Furnace Continent, so they called themselves dwarves!"

With her hands on her hips, she continued to explain, "Actually, they are generally between 1.7 and 2 meters tall. Those who are short are called dwarfs!"

"I see!" Everyone suddenly realized.

“No wonder,” Wang Yuanyuan said thoughtfully, “I could sense that this secret realm contained what I wanted.”

“Oh, right,” Ye Xiaolei suddenly remembered something and added, “The dwarves also have the famous Spirit Ascension Pool. It’s a unique tradition of theirs. Soaking in it can enhance your innate inner and outer spiritual power. It’s also their tempering pool, so it should be very helpful to you.”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and they all turned to look at Ye Xiaolei. "Where is she?" Lu Xi's voice trembled with excitement.

As the least talented member of the team, he was already extremely anxious as he watched his teammates make rapid progress.

Ye Xiaolei pointed to the obsidian clusters near the lava: "Aren't those the pools?"

Only then did everyone notice that there were seven or eight clear pools of water of varying sizes scattered among the obsidian, which remained liquid even in the high-temperature environment.

"Spring water in lava? This... this can really be used for soaking?" Lu Xi shuddered.

"Take it or leave it," Ye Xiaolei pouted. "Your innate spiritual power is close to 80, right? After taking a bath, you should be able to break through to the Light Protection level."

"I'm going right now!" Without saying a word, Lu Xi rushed to the nearest pool, deftly took off her priest's robe, and jumped in.

Surprisingly, he wasn't burned at all; instead, he showed a comfortable expression: "Commander! It's lukewarm!"

Chen Ying'er and Wang Yuanyuan immediately became interested.

"Sister Yuanyuan, shall we go to a bar too?" Chen Ying'er suggested, blinking her eyes.

Wang Yuanyuan looked at Long Haochen and the others hesitantly: "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

“We can use a screen to enclose it,” Chen Ying’er suggested.

“Great idea!” Wang Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

When they tried to invite Cai'er, they found that Yuehui had already taken Cai'er to the small spirit-ascending pool in the distance.

Yuehui took out a dark cloth from her storage ring and skillfully set it up as a screen.

"It seems the leader wants a dragon and phoenix bath~" Wang Yuanyuan said knowingly.

"Then let's go to the bar by ourselves~" Chen Ying'er said with a grin.

……

A moment later, Moonlight leaned comfortably against the edge of the Spirit Ascension Pool.

Although his innate spiritual power had reached its maximum value after his divine favor was awakened, his external spiritual power had even exceeded 10,000 points.

But the pleasure of bathing in a hot spring with your sweetheart after the war is something no one can resist.

Across from the spring, Cai'er buried half her face behind a bath towel, revealing only a pair of watery purple eyes.

The wet white bath towel outlined her graceful curves, and her slender legs were faintly visible in the spring water.

She unconsciously curled her feet up, her pink toes resembling blooming water lilies in the clear spring water.

Moonlight's gaze was drawn to the beautiful arch of her foot, and she reached out to gently lift it as if possessed.

Her feet were delicate and exquisite, with skin as smooth as the finest mutton-fat jade, and the arch of her feet was so perfect it was astonishing.

Moonlight gently held Cai'er's jade-like feet, and warm spring water flowed between them.

Cai'er's cheeks flushed crimson, and her purple eyes shimmered with a watery light.

“Moonlight.” Her voice trembled slightly, like a startled fawn.

Moonlight's eyes were filled with tenderness as he gently stroked her delicate ankles with his fingertips: "Cai'er~ you are so beautiful."

"No, not here."

Cai'er shyly tried to pull her foot back, but Yuehui gently and firmly held it.

She was all too familiar with that look in her lover's eyes; it always made her weak in the knees.

Moonlight chuckled softly, gently scraping the sole of her foot with her fingertips: "And after we get back?"

Cai'er buried her flushed face in the bath towel, revealing only her watery eyes, and nodded gently.

"Hmm~"
