Blessing in Disguise?

"...After your fall, these were more or less the things that happened." Chu Yuan gave a brief explanation. "But there's no need to worry. Xifeng is quite capable; with him protecting Ivy, she hasn't suffered any hardship."

The Elf Queen pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "Such a treasure is truly wasted on an elementary Sovereign like me."

"Wouldn't it have been better to let me dissipate and be revived by a Supreme instead...? Pills could still be refined all the same."

Chu Yuan shook his head and changed the subject. "How do you feel now?"

"Feel..." The Elf Queen sank her awareness into her body. Her inner world had already vanished and would need to be reconstructed; alternatively, she could go directly to the Floating Boat Domain and refine the remnants of her former inner world anew, which would save her quite a bit of effort. Yet strangely, the Heaven-Returning Creation Pill within her body had left her combat strength entirely undiminished; if anything... she was even stronger than before her fall?

There were no raw materials, no refinement process... she had merely drawn upon some cosmic energy?
