Inside a side room of Central Forest Garden in Soul Return Town.
As the Divine Phoenix Karma Fire gradually faded, the black smoke on the chest of Heavenblade Dragon King Qin Jiudao also quickly dissipated without a trace.
Qin Jiudao, who had been screaming in pain, trembled and then collapsed weakly onto the wooden bed.
His breathing gradually became longer and more even.
"This..."
Ms. Gang was standing to the side, paused for a second, then pounced on him.
She examined Qin Jiudao's wounds, her eyes even gleaming with shock.
"This... it actually worked?!"
Ms. Gang sounded surprised.
Jiangnan withdrew his finger, looked at her startled expression, and raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't it have succeeded?"
He had just clearly sensed that after burning back along that causal line...
Helge's presence has been completely erased from the other side of the starry sky, leaving not even a trace.
Once the source is destroyed, the wound here naturally becomes like a tree without roots.
However, it wasn't just this skeleton doctor in front of them.
Even Shangguan Shuyi, Little Sparrow, and Shen Yingchun, who were standing at the door, were present.
At this moment, their faces were all filled with doubt and disbelief about the meaning of life.
"Dragon God... let me explain to you."
After calming down from her shock, Little Sparrow stepped forward and respectfully addressed Jiangnan.
"Actually, before you arrived here..."
"That treacherous Helge has attacked our Soul Return Town multiple times."
"Over the long years, it was mostly burned to ashes by the Divine Phoenix Karma Fire descended by our Phoenix Emperor Lord."
"However, as Evil God, it is reborn every hundred years and then returns with a vengeance."
Little Sparrow's eyes became extremely complicated. "And in the last great war, a hundred years ago..."
"The Phoenix Emperor Lord's Hellfire has lost its effectiveness against it."
"It no longer fears the burning of Hellfire, and can even emerge unscathed from it!"
"So..."
Little Sparrow looked at Jiangnan with awe in her eyes, "Seeing that monster who was already immune to the Hellfire."
"Now that they have been completely burned to death by the Hellfire you released, everyone is so shocked and incredulous."
After listening, Jiangnan nodded thoughtfully.
"I see."
Little Sparrow's explanation cleared up a question in Jiangnan's mind.
This reminded him of his time on Blue Star.
The scene where one is still able to activate the Word Spirit even when facing the [Fool's ] domain that erases all supernatural power.
"It's highly likely based on the same principle."
Jiangnan was secretly making plans in his heart.
The system's [Word Spirit] is very likely a distorted form of the world's original [Supernatural Ability].
Or rather, it's a product of a dimensional upgrade.
They may ultimately produce the exact same result.
For example, the Phoenix Emperor's Hellfire and his Divine Phoenix Karma Fire both appear to be white flames, and both can burn away karma.
However, their underlying nature is completely different!
This is similar to the tech jokes he heard in his original world.
The [equivalent law] is far ahead of the [Moore's Law] for lithography machines.
Although both theories can ultimately produce top-precision wafers on silicon.
However, the R&D logic they follow is on two different tracks!
Phoenix Emperor's Hellfire is Supernatural Ability, which is why Helge can find loopholes and build firewalls by being burned.
However, the Word Spirit in Jiangnan is a system product that transcends the rules of this world!
This is like Helge spending a hundred years finally upgrading the antivirus software on his computer to the latest version.
As a result, Jiangnan went straight down the network cable and smashed its server with a hammer!
You can defend against Supernatural Ability, but you can't defend against the Word Spirit.
"Helge's death is tantamount to severing an arm of the Abyssal Lord God."
"Once the Evil God learns the truth, he will definitely act desperately and accelerate his invasion at all costs."
Jiangnan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"It seems... I need to speed up the process of farming Word Spirit and increasing my Word Quota."
"My current hand is far from enough."
Having sorted out his thoughts, Jiangnan stopped dwelling on them, turned to look at Ms. Gang and Little Sparrow, and tossed them sticky notes.
Alright, his life has been saved.
[The source of pollution has been completely cut off; he should be fine now.]
The rest are just common physical injuries. Just treat the wounds and let him rest.
"Yes, Dragon God! We will complete the mission as you command!"
Ms. Gang, Shen Yingchun, and others quickly bowed deeply.
Jiangnan casually tugged at his collar, turned, and walked towards the door. "I have some personal matters to attend to, I'll be going now."
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Dragon God!"
The group said their goodbyes in unison, watching the black figure disappear from sight.
After leaving the side room, Jiangnan wandered through the ruins of Soul Return Town.
Finally, they found a quiet, dilapidated courtyard house.
After confirming that no one was around, Jiangnan stopped and took out the [Human Emperor Lamp] that always hung from his waist.
"It's time to put the puzzle together..."
Brothers! The agreed-upon million-book test is just around the corner on May 31st.
After Lao Zuo fed his adopted son in the lower bunk a large bottle of iced tea and braised pork noodles...
The recipient, also deeply devoted to filial piety, decided to contribute to creating one of the five covers!
Now, let's show you the entry with the most likes in the comments section!
Dusk falls and the sun sets, all gods perish, but I, the Dragon God, will endure forever.
From [Starry Sky], thanks to Yanzu for the book title suggestion!
