Chapter 353 Two Shameful Women

Divine magic and magic are different.

After her battle with Theresa Scarlet Moon, Emerald gained a deeper understanding of this.

Divine power transcends the rules of the world, and the effects of divine magic can only be countered by divine power.

Take Emerald's divine spell [Sunfire Blast] as an example. The effect of this spell is actually an explosion with the power of a high-level magic, roughly the same as the thermobaric bomb on Earth.

Any cultivator without divine power can heal themselves after being hit by the [Sunfire Blast], or protect themselves with a shield during the explosion, but they absolutely cannot counter or eliminate this divine spell before the explosion.

This is also a key reason why, in worlds where gods exist, clergy are always stronger than other practitioners.

The effect of Ji Xinyu's divine spell is as follows:

The target becomes pregnant, and the fetus continuously draws upon its strength and life until it dies and is born.

The fact that the fetus has not yet been born means that the effects of the divine magic have not ended, so Ji Xinyu cannot kill the fetus in her womb no matter what, and can only do her best to suppress its growth rate.

But now it's clear that it's about to become uncontrollable.

"You're really useless! You're nowhere near as good as your daughter!"

Upon hearing Theresa Scarlet Moon say that she had lost control of the divine magic, Emerald could no longer remain calm. In her anxiety, she kicked Theresa Scarlet Moon aside and personally touched Ji Xinyu's stomach to check the situation with her senses.

A moment later, the anxious look on Emerald's face disappeared, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation is alright.

The God of Procreation and Rebirth has seemingly given up on observing this world entirely. He not only revoked Theresa Crimson Moon's access to divine magic but also ceased providing any effect support for it.

In short, although Theresa Scarlet Moon cannot take back this divine spell, it has become like water without a source. All that is needed is to use other divine powers to destroy the remaining new divine power in Ji Xinyu's body to stop the spell's effect.

Emery could do that.

However, the priests must engage in focused prayer to control divine power, and they must also ensure that the new divine power within Ji Xinyu is not harmed when using the power of the sun god to extinguish it. This requires meticulous operation and will likely take a considerable amount of time.

The Elf Capital has only just been occupied, and many people are waiting for Emerald's orders. Time does not allow Emerald to immediately allow Ji Xinyu to go into seclusion to heal her injuries.

"I'm sorry to trouble you a little longer, junior sister. I'll take care of things soon."

After thinking for a moment, Amelie began to gather magic power in her hand, which was on Ji Xinyu's abdomen, and used the holy crystal to envelop Ji Xinyu's body.

Ji Xinyu did not resist, but simply nodded weakly to Amelite and allowed herself to be sealed by Amelite.

After the seal was completed, Emerald held the fist-sized sacred crystal in the center of her palm and carefully sensed it. Only after confirming that the rate at which Ji Xinyu's spiritual power and life force were draining within the seal had slowed down significantly did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Let's go and take care of things in the Elf Capital first.

Although the Elven capital had been occupied by the Federation army and most of the resistance had been successfully suppressed, some extremist elves escaped and were active in the shadows, trying to incite the elven villages to unite and continue their counterattack.

Humans are, after all, an outsider, while elves, though inherently corrupt, are not lacking in courage. If they were truly incited by those extremist elves, it would be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, the matter was easy to resolve, since the original rebel leader, Theresa Scarlet Moon, had been completely controlled by Emerald and had become obedient to her.

After discussing with the surviving widows and orphans of the Seven Rainbows family, in order to stabilize the Elven race quickly and for a new chapter of friendship between the Elven and Human races, they decided that the blame should be placed on that Elven extremist organization.

Under Emerald's orders, Theresa Scarlet Moon publicly declared her mistakes, tearfully admitting that she had been misled by extremist organizations and had done what she did.

One of the main reasons Theresa Scarlet Moon's rebellion almost succeeded was that the Scarlet Moon family had a good reputation among the elves. Many elves had been saved by the Flame of Life, and even though they knew Theresa Scarlet Moon's actions were rebellious, they were still willing to follow her.

Now that Theresa Scarlet Moon has surrendered, her followers will naturally no longer be so stubborn.

When the Elf King's city was conquered, the vast majority of the captured elves showed no further resistance after Theresa Scarlet Moon made a public declaration.

After some thought, Amelie ordered the release of the prisoners who were no longer resisting and removed the magical seal collars from their bodies.

The sealed Crimson Moon Princesses have all been released by Emerald, and they are no longer a threat.

These daughters were all born from Theresa Scarlet Moon using divine magic when she first became a priestess. They are considered magical creations of hers and cannot disobey her commands.

Now that Theresa Scarlet Moon herself has been won over by Emerald, her daughters, no matter how unwilling they are, can only obediently call Emerald their mistress.

With this, except for those extremist elves who were jointly wanted by the two races, this war has come to a complete end. The next step is to sign a new friendly treaty between the two races.

The Grand President of the Allen Federation, Gafer Hewlett, will personally lead his staff to sign an agreement with the Royal Council, which has regained control of the Elven race.

Emery doesn't need to worry about the specific terms of the agreement.

Because the Federation's Grand President Gaif is her man, and the only person in charge of the Elf Royal Court Council, Silbi, is also her man, she only needs to wait for the two sides to reach a conclusion and then express her agreement or disagreement.

To commemorate the restoration of friendship between humans and elves, Silbis proposed designating the day the elven capital was breached as a new holiday called the "Peace Festival," and to hold a city-wide carnival for the Federation soldiers and elves to celebrate together.

Amelie thought this incident would provoke resentment among the elves in the city. After all, no matter how much they tried to cover it up, the fact was that the elves had been defeated once again, which was a disgrace. It was too ironic to designate this day as a festival to commemorate peace.

However, after the news spread, Amelie listened to the discussions among the city's elves using her magical perception, and her expression turned strange. She realized that she had underestimated these elves.

Because the elves in the capital city, upon learning of the revelry tonight, felt almost no shame or disgrace. On the contrary, most of them were eager to participate and even flirted with the federal soldiers they saw, trying to provoke them.

That roughly means:

I may not be able to beat you on the battlefield, but I might be able to beat you in other areas. If you're so tough, don't run away tonight!

The hot-blooded young men in the Federation army couldn't stand such provocation. After receiving orders to celebrate with the elves, they all accepted the challenge.

One can imagine that tonight, the Elven capital will be engulfed in another form of endless war.

Emerald didn't care about this. The overall situation was settled now, and the few remaining elven extremists were all weaklings, not even considered variables. Everyone could celebrate, after all, this battle had been quite arduous for both humans and elves.

Amelie only instructed Shibi to repair the Elf Royal Court as soon as possible and prepare to awaken the Elf Queen. Then she returned to her room and began treating Ji Xinyu.

Ji Xinyu's body had been drained of life force and spiritual energy by the fetus in her womb for two days and two nights, and she was already very weak. To slowly erode the newborn divine power in her womb without harming her, a slow and meticulous approach was necessary.

Amelie asked Theresa Scarlet Moon to protect her and temporarily declined all disturbances.

As the newborn divine power in Ji Xinyu's womb was gradually worn away by the power of the sun god, the effects of the divine magic also weakened at a visible rate. Ji Xinyu's life force and spiritual power were losing even more slowly, and soon they could no longer keep up with her automatic recovery speed.

About five days later, as the last trace of newborn divine power disappeared, the effects of the divine magic within Ji Xinyu's body finally ended, and her life force and spiritual power completely stopped draining away.

But now there is a new problem: although the newborn divine power in Ji Xinyu's body has completely disappeared, the fetus, which is about 8 months old, is still there, and the fetus is full of the power of the sun god and the aura of Emerald.

"This child... what do you plan to do, junior sister?"

Logically speaking, the fetus should have been eliminated, but Emery had considered it several times but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.

Because the fetus is now filled with Amelie's aura, it even gives Amelie a distinct feeling of blood connection, as if this is her daughter.

"...Whose child is this?"

Ji Xinyu paused for a moment before asking a question with a complicated expression.

"Uh……"

Emery thought for a moment, then called Theresa Scarlet over and asked her a few more questions before answering with a strange expression:

“Originally, she should have been the child of the God of Procreation and Rebirth and you, Junior Sister, but the God of Procreation and Rebirth completely abandoned everything here and severed ties. Afterwards, I used my own divine power to cover the child and completely erase the mark of the God of Procreation and Rebirth... So, she is probably our child now.”

This was actually the first time Theresa Scarlet Moon had used this divine spell on someone else.

Her daughters were all born from her own divine technique, and were essentially her daughters with the God of fertility and new life. Therefore, they inherited her life-giving flame and possessed extremely faint divinity.

In any case, the blessing of the God of Procreation and New Life includes the blessing of New Life. Even if Theresa Scarlet Moon's magic and life force are drained by her daughter, she will not die. Instead, she will be reborn from the ashes and become stronger after her daughter is born.

Therefore, although Ji Xinyu's child was created by Theresa Feiyue using divine magic, it actually has nothing to do with Theresa Feiyue. Even if the divine magic is completely successful and the child is successfully born after absorbing all of Ji Xinyu's spiritual power and life force, it will only be a sacred priest of reproduction and rebirth who inherits Ji Xinyu's power, and will have no blood relation with Theresa Feiyue.

Now the God of Procreation and New Life has completely severed ties with this world, and the divine power within the child has been completely covered by Emerald. Objectively speaking, this child can indeed be considered the child of Emerald and Ji Xinyu.

Moreover, after this child is born, she will most likely inherit some of the talents of both Emeryte and Ji Xinyu, and become the second person in the world capable of using holy magic.

"...Since the child has already become my senior sister's, then I will give birth to it."

After hesitating for a long time, Ji Xinyu finally made a decision:

"But let me make this clear first, I'm not raising this child... After all, I am a princess of the royal family! Although I already have quite a few women in my household, I am still officially unmarried. Having a child out of wedlock would greatly damage my reputation, so it's absolutely unacceptable."

"So the baby will stay with you after it's born, senior sister."

Without giving Emery a chance to refute, Ji Xinyu continued:

"Don't forget that everything in the Tianyun Empire is under the control of the Dao Ancestor. Even if I take the child back and hide her away, it won't make a difference. Not only will she be in danger, but she will also likely expose my relationship with my senior sister."

"..."

Amelie was speechless.

Ji Xinyu's words were logically sound; the child indeed could not be sent to the Tianyun Empire.

So, should we leave the child in the federal government?

It's not necessarily a bad thing. Although the social atmosphere in the Allen Federation is not as open as that of the elves, it's not a big deal for a young lady to have a child out of wedlock. At most, people will just gossip about it.

Amelie was just worried that Julia would get jealous and then pester her to get married and have children, which would be a real problem.

After all, the Dao Ancestor is about to merge with the Dao, and Amelie and Julia are both key combat forces. It would be inappropriate for either of them to get pregnant at this time.

Therefore, it's best not to raise the child in the Federation, and not to let Yulia know... at least not before stopping the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao.

What a pitiful child... He was rejected by both of his mothers before he was even born.

What should we do about this child?

Emery tilted her head and thought for a while, then her eyes lit up.

Why not just refer to past experiences?

What should a young couple do if they are too busy with work to take care of their baby?

Let the elderly take care of it.

Judging by the time, the old lich and the red-clothed woman have been enjoying their time together long enough; it's time to send them a third wheel.

These are the children born to the two inheritors; they can't just abandon them, can they?

"That's a great idea!"

Upon learning of Emeryte's plan, Ji Xinyu expressed her agreement and even chuckled gloatingly a few times.

After completely losing the divine power of the god of reproduction and new life, the child in Ji Xinyu's womb resumed its normal growth rate and was supposed to be born in about two more months.

But given Ji Xinyu's personality, how could she possibly be willing to carry a two-month pregnancy? So she planned to use a secret method to accelerate the child's growth and give birth within a few days.

After confirming that this secret method would not have any negative impact on the child, Amelie agreed and ordered people to prepare the materials needed for the method.

Thus, the matter of Ji Xinyu's unborn child can be considered temporarily resolved.

After finishing her secluded treatment, Amelie found Sylvie and asked when the ritual to awaken the Elf Queen could be performed, as she had many questions for the Elf Queen.

"I'm sorry, Miss, it will probably take another two or three days."

Despite having become the most powerful person in the Elven race, Silbis still showed considerable respect to Emeryte.

"As you probably already guessed, the ritual array to awaken Her Majesty the Queen originally only existed in the Royal Court... but the Royal Court was completely destroyed before. Even though I know how to make the ritual array and have enough materials, it will still take some time to complete the preparations."

"It's alright, you can continue preparing. If you need anything, just go to Sisi."

Haste makes waste. Emery didn't rush Sylvie. After confirming the progress of the ritual array's reconstruction, she left the magic warship alone and wandered around the elven capital, intending to observe the current situation of elves and humans.

With the power of magic, the world's infrastructure development is incredibly fast, and the elves, whose population is almost entirely composed of mages, are no exception. Not to mention, the Federation's engineering corps has also provided considerable assistance.

During the five days that Ameliete treated Ji Xinyu, the Elven capital, which had been reduced to ruins by her super-tier magic Sunset, has now almost recovered, and many buildings have been renovated after reconstruction.

Five of the Federation's magical warships have returned to the Federation, but the remaining two are still hovering over the Elf capital, and the ground troops are still stationed in the Elf capital.

The Federation troops, who had won a great victory on the battlefield, had clearly lost to the alluring and fiery elves on another battlefield, and could even be described as suffering a complete defeat.

The Federation soldiers that Amelie encountered on the streets of the Elf capital were almost all listless with dark circles under their eyes. Their eyes had lost their desire and longing for beautiful women, and they even felt fear when they saw charming and alluring women.

Upon seeing this, Emerald sent a message to Judy, saying that the Federation troops could be organized to retreat from the Elf Capital, and that they should be given a leave of absence upon returning so that they could rest well.

After strolling through several commercial streets in the Elf Capital and buying some local specialties as souvenirs for Julia and the others, Emerald randomly found an Elf Tavern, declined the offers of special services from several Elf dancers, and simply ordered two jugs of wine and a private room.

After the disappointed elven dancers had all left, Emerald took out the Holy Spirit Seal card and released Theresa Scarlet Moon:

"Tell me in detail about your experiences over the past six months."

"Yes, Master."

Theresa Scarlet Moon, of course, would not refuse. She stood behind Emerald and, with very clumsy movements, massaged Emerald's shoulders and back while telling her story.

Emerald is still quite curious about the significant changes Theresa Scarlet Moon has undergone compared to the original game.

Of course, Amelie knew the principle behind butterfly wings, but after transmigrating, she was mainly active in the Allen Federation and didn't interfere much in the affairs of the Elven race, so there shouldn't be such a big difference.

Since she was waiting for Sibi to prepare for the ceremony and for Ji Xinyu to have a child, and had nothing else to do, Amelie decided to figure out the key to this butterfly wing.

As Theresa Scarlet recounted the events in great detail, and with Emerald's occasional questioning, the complete truth was finally pieced together.
