The Offering Failed? Soul Ring Rebound? Energy Clash? Was the Holy Light Unicorn Up to Something?

A storm raged within Bibi Dong's heart.

"The sacrificed Soul Power and Soul Ring can only be bestowed upon one person! I've never heard of bestowing them upon two people at the same time! What exactly does this unicorn want to do? Is its target Xue'er... or Xiao Xia? Or... both?!"

She instinctively wanted to rush over and stop it, but her body was blocked by the powerful sacred energy field that formed the instant the sacrificial ritual was initiated, isolating the inside from the outside!

This force field originates from the holy light source voluntarily burned by the Soul Beast and the rules of heaven and earth; even she could not Sheer Force break in before the ritual was completed!

Inside the pillar of light.

Lin Xia and Qian Renxue were bathed in warm, pure, and comforting holy light, as if returning to the womb, their bodies feeling as if they were being lifted up by the softest clouds.

They could clearly feel a vast and boundless life force, full of kindness and gratitude, flowing gently yet resolutely into their bodies like a warm tide, cleansing their souls and connecting them to their Martial Soul core.

Qian Renxue felt it most clearly. Her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was like a parched land receiving rain, cheering and frantically Absorb this divine power of the same origin. She could clearly feel her Soul Power growing rapidly, and the position of her Seventh Soul Ring was being filled and condensed by an unimaginable, holy aura of immense energy!

This feeling... is precisely the sign that the sacrifice bestows upon the Soul Ring!

But what shocked her was that she also "saw" that the vast source of holy light was not flowing only towards her!

A considerable portion of the purest power, containing the most essential life blessings and sacred imprints, flowed out like a gentle stream, yet resolutely surged towards the small figure beside him— Lin Xia!

This power did not attempt to condense Soul Ring within Lin Xia's body. Instead, it was like the purest nutrients, directly merging into his limbs and bones, nourishing his body reshaped by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings's essence, warming his Sea of Consciousness, and even... faintly resonating with the Plant Affinity Origin deep within his sea of consciousness and the spiritual connection with Ivysaur!

"It's blessing both of us at the same time!"

Qian Renxue instantly understood, her heart filled with indescribable emotion and awe.

"It gave me the Soul Ring it sacrificed as a token of gratitude; and its purest life essence and divine blessing... were bestowed upon Xiao Xia! I thank him for purifying the tribe, and I acknowledge his pure heart and protective power!"

Lin Xia also felt this strange power.

Unlike the increase in Soul Power, this is a more fundamental improvement.

He felt as if his body had been cleansed once again, and the Dragon King's essence of ice and fire became more harmonious and balanced under the nourishment of this gentle holy light.

The Sea of Consciousness has become clearer and broader.

He could even feel the pulse of the earth beneath his feet and the surrounding vegetation more clearly; his Plant Affinity seemed to have been elevated in some way.

The Ivysaur mark on his wrist was also slightly warm, conveying a comfortable and pleasant feeling.

The sacred light of sacrifice grows ever stronger!

Lin Xia and Qian Renxue, who were at the center of the storm, did not feel the tearing pain of Sheer Force absorbing a high-age Soul Ring as expected when the light shone on them. Instead, it was as if they had instantly fallen into a warm ocean constructed of the purest light elements and Life Energy.

Lin Xia felt an indescribable sense of comfort, like a tide flowing into every pore of her body.

This energy was incredibly gentle, carrying the final blessing and essence of the Holy Light Unicorn. It resonated strangely with his body and Soul Power, which were already fused with the origin of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, imbued with the divinity of angels and Rakshasa God, and reshaped by Divine Blood.

The feeling was like rain after a long drought, or like a wanderer returning home; a satisfied sigh came from the depths of the soul.

His nerves, which had been taut from fighting the threat of Soul Beast, plotting to obtain Immortal Herb, and even just experiencing an emotional storm, instantly relaxed to the extreme under the soothing touch of this incredibly gentle energy.

Consciousness seemed to be enveloped in clouds, Frillish and effortlessly into the deepest darkness—not the pain of unconsciousness, but a deep, instinctive rest and adaptive slumber brought about by excessive comfort.

Qian Renxue on the other side felt it even more intensely.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul unfurled uncontrollably behind her, its six pure white wings, edged with holy golden light, greedily absorbing the holy power of light of the same origin.

A massive amount of pure light energy surged into her meridians, bones, and blood, cleansing every inch of her body.

Nourished by the holy light, the Soul Power became purer and more refined at an astonishing speed.

A sense of comfort and fulfillment emanating from the depths of her soul overwhelmed her, as if her entire body was undergoing a sacred baptism and sublimation.

Her exquisite face appeared incredibly holy under the holy light, and a peaceful and contented smile unconsciously curved her lips. Then, like Lin Xia, her consciousness completely relaxed, and she fell into the sweetest sleep.

For her, it felt more like returning to the embrace of an angel, serene and warm.

Beyond the light, the gratified smile on Bibi Dong's face froze the moment the light burst forth!

She only saw the blinding Platinum light engulf the two of them in an instant, and then their breaths seemed to be cut off as they quickly fell silent, their bodies going limp and about to collapse!

"Xiao Xia! Xue'er!"

A shrill shout filled with panic burst from Bibi Dong's mouth, completely losing her usual composure and calmness.

A flash of purplish-black light appeared on her body, and her instincts as the Death Spider Emperor were almost unleashed!

Her heart almost stopped beating for a moment, and countless terrifying thoughts flashed through her mind.

Sacrifice failed? Soul Ring backlash? Energy conflict? Is the Holy Light Unicorn a trap?

She moved with Gui Mei speed, instantly reaching the edge of the light.

The powerful spiritual force relentlessly probed into the dense torrent of light, attempting to sense the vital signs of the two individuals.

When her spiritual power touched the steady, long, and even strangely satisfying life force of Lin Xia and Qian Renxue, the panic that almost burned away her reason receded like a tide, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and what replaced them was a deep, lingering fatigue.

"Call..."

Bibi Dong let out a long, silent sigh, slowly loosening her clenched fist, revealing deep marks on her palms from her own fingernails.

The shock in her purple eyes faded, and she regained her composure, but her concern and determination to protect her only grew stronger.

"It's nothing... she just... fell asleep?"

Bibi Dong carefully sensed them and confirmed that they were not injured and unconscious, but had fallen into an extremely deep slumber state enveloped by a vast and gentle energy.

Only then did she truly feel relieved, looking at the two peaceful sleeping faces in the light, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was relief that they were safe and sound, a sense of satisfaction that they had such a great opportunity, and even a hint of... barely Frisk envy?

I envy them for accepting this gift so purely.

She stood quietly outside the light, like the most dutiful guardian.

Time slipped away quietly in the flow of sacred light.
