Immediately afterwards, a secret message flowed from the corner of her lips.

As her face gradually paled, an invisible force began to spread out, as if to encompass everything.

This was the prototype of the sanctuary.

Even if she achieved this ahead of time using the power of secret words, it still proves that she is not far from the fifth rank, perhaps only one final step away.

"That's not enough."

Gu Yuqiu spoke softly, took a step forward, lowered her head slightly, glanced at her chest, and looked very uncomfortable.

This was only a brief pause.

She raised her hand, and a long sword suddenly appeared in her grasp. Under the intermittent flashes of lightning, the blood-red line in the middle of the sword was exceptionally clear, radiating an intense killing intent.

Su Yan frowned because she recognized the origin of the sword.

Theresa looked at the longsword and said, "Crimson stayed in New Chu and didn't leave, so it was indeed because of you."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, palm facing Gu Yuqiu, and began to slowly close it.

The two were only a dozen meters apart, a distance that was far too close for Theresa, who was not good at close combat, and it was easy for her to be beheaded.

Therefore, the secret incantation she uttered immediately was not about attack, but about subtle control over the surrounding world.

Perhaps it was because Su Yan was too angry that she made things convenient for her, or perhaps it was because she was determined to die that she was reborn; what should have been difficult to accomplish became so easy.

As her right hand closed, a change ensued.

The rain stopped.

It's not that the sky is clear anymore.

It was a torrential downpour, with countless raindrops that stopped in place, no matter which way they went, left, right, or even ridiculously upwards.

Then the gale stopped.

The wind has died down.

Everything visible has returned to its place and fallen into silence.

This is the reality of Teresa's control over the world around her.

So when her five fingers began to close, all things began to gather and surge toward Gu Yuqiu's position.

As this process unfolds, the raindrops gradually deform, and their density is continuously compressed.

The winds remain invisible, but the process of change is even more wondrous.

Gu Yuqiu remained standing there, casually holding his long sword, quietly watching the various things slowly and relentlessly surging in from all directions.

"It's pretty good."

She looked at Theresa and said softly, "I used to think you were all a bunch of hopeless idiots, but now it seems that was my prejudice."

Theresa said thank you, not even having time to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth; she looked utterly miserable.

Gu Yuqiu slowly raised his hand, pointing his long sword at the sky.

Upon seeing this, Teresa released her grip without hesitation.

The next moment, as she gave up, the things that had been forcibly tied together began to separate, rushing wildly in all directions and sweeping away.

Countless raindrops burst open one after another, accompanied by thunder.

If fireworks bloom.

Exterminate everything.

"But that's all."

Gu and Qiu walked with their swords drawn, emerging from the annihilation.

Behind her, the fireworks were still in full bloom, amidst the raging wind and rain.

Chapter 106: Chapter 104 Battle Against the Gods

The wind and rain swept in all directions, bringing an aura of annihilation and destroying everything in its path, yet it did not affect Gu Yuqiu in the slightest.

It was as if, as long as she didn't look at them, they all became unreal, illusory, magnificent scenes that existed only in another world.

The ripples on the overpass continued, but the atmosphere gradually became quiet, like stagnant water.

Theresa stared blankly at the scene before her, instinctively opening her mouth as if to ask something, but unable to utter a word, only bewilderment remained, though there was no shock.

Because the person in front of her was the god she believed in, even the most illogical and unbelievable things had a full explanation.

"I've said everything I needed to say. I hope you don't regret your previous choice now."

Gu Yuqiu stopped in her tracks.

Then, she raised the longsword once more and pointed it at Theresa's forehead.

Theresa laughed, looking at Lin Mushi, who was the vessel for the divine descent. Her smile gradually became forced, and her eyes revealed an obvious jealousy.

Even now, she still can't understand why the other person was chosen by the gods.

Whether it's talent or appearance... well, there's no problem with looks, but in other aspects, he's just too lacking and doesn't deserve it.

This is just an ordinary person.

But she did not ask, for it would undoubtedly be an offense to the gods, something she would never do.

"I won't regret it..."

Theresa looked away and said softly, "It's just a bit of a shame."

Gu Yuqiu understood the true meaning of those words.

However, she had encountered too many similar problems. Almost everyone who knew about her relationship with Lin Mushi had the same doubts.

Whether it's a white cat, a deep red cat, or even Su Yan, none of them are entirely exempt.

She wasn't a quiet person, and had already explained the reasons, so there was no need to repeat them now.

Just then, Su Yan suddenly said something.

"She has reached her limit."

It is self-evident who she is referring to in those words.

Su Yan glanced at Gu Yuqiu and continued, "You shouldn't have shown up for this battle. Bullying the weak is shameless, isn't that right?"

"I don't care about these things."

Gu Yuqiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Moreover, she is my only believer."

Su Yan looked at Theresa and asked mockingly, "So, the person who wholeheartedly believes in you and regards you as their guiding light is not your follower?"

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

Then she asked directly, "But what does this have to do with you now?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud and sighed softly, "Don't you remember that I've always been considered the most meddlesome person in the world?"

Gu Yuqiu remained silent.

Whether it was due to circumstances or something else, she, known as the Innocent Queen, has indeed meddlesome a lot over the years, making many people unhappy.

Unfortunately, she was far too powerful, and there were only six people qualified to fight her, leaving them with no choice but to accept it.

"More importantly..."

Su Yan looked at her chest, at the cracked ring, and said expressionlessly, "Lin Mushi survived because of me."

To be precise, it's because of this ring she crafted based on her inner vision.

Or perhaps a keepsake between the two.

This ring has only one apparent purpose, but that purpose is meaningless to beings like them; it's nothing more than a plaything.

However, she has always been strong-willed, so how could a token of such great significance, which she personally gave away, be so simple?

This ring, named 'Forgiveness', represents her unconditional forgiveness.

This was her original vision.

When the vision becomes reality, it grants immunity from a fatal attack—at that time, Gu Yuqiu had not yet reached the sixth rank, was constantly fighting and getting injured, and had no idea whether she would see the sun rise the next day.

Su Yan never imagined that what she had painstakingly created would ultimately be used on this, on a third party.

What an irony.

Utterly mocking.

Thinking about these things, Su Yan's eyes grew colder and colder.

Gu Yuqiu corrected her, shaking her head and saying, "These are my things."

Su Yan sneered and remained silent.

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "Isn't that the truth?"

Although the ring carries a lot of meaning, and could even represent that meaning, she also gave back a sufficiently generous gift, so they should be even. Therefore, this statement now seems a bit like cheating, as if she is deliberately picking a fight.

But she didn't think that way.

Because Su Yan has every reason, whether she acts spoiled or gets angry, it's all justified.

—After all, this ring is not far from being a token of love.

Even though Gu Yuqiu always believed that it was already hers and she could do whatever she wanted with it, and she agreed with this statement in her heart, that's why she only thought about it but didn't say it out loud.

After all, she's not an idiot. Even if she likes to provoke people, she wouldn't speak up at a time like this.

Under Theresa's puzzled gaze, the two ended their somewhat inexplicable conversation.

Throughout the entire ordeal, she only understood the very first sentence.

"As your devout believer, I only wish that your will would descend upon the world again, ignite this dark and gloomy world, and bring new hope."

The blonde girl's expression gradually hardened, and she said softly, "Therefore, I must correct the mistake you are making."

After saying this, she slowly straightened her back and raised her right hand.

Her right hand slowly closed, but did not clench again, so it was not a fist.
