Almost at the same instant, Chen Xin and Gu Rong moved in unison.
The two Titled Douluos took up positions on either side in front of Lin Xiao and the others, watching the newcomer warily.
Neither sensed any malice from her. In fact, something about her made them feel drawn to her.
So they refrained from striking first, afraid of angering her.
More importantly, her aura was terrifyingly powerful! She could wipe them all out!!
The Goddess of Life paid it no mind and instead smiled gently.
"Don't be afraid. I am the Goddess of Li-"
Before she could finish speaking-
"Humm-"
Her emerald-green figure began to turn insubstantial, like ripples spreading across water.
The next moment, she vanished from the altar into thin air.
Only a faint fragrance of grass and trees remained, drifting above the Back Mountain.
The whole process seemed long, but only ten seconds had passed since the Goddess of Life descended.
If not for the traces of rampant growth still visible in the vegetation across the Back Mountain, it would have seemed like a dream.
They remained on guard for another fifteen minutes.
Only then did Gu Rong ask cautiously:
"Has she left?"
Chen Xin carefully sensed their surroundings before putting away the Seven Kill Sword.
"Yes, she should be gone."
Beside them, Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh of relief. The back of his clothes had long since been soaked through with cold sweat.
An icy bead of sweat slid down his jaw and fell onto the wild grass below.
"That power just now was truly terrifying. Fortunately, she bore us no malice whatsoever."
Meanwhile, the fifteen-minute cooldown on Lin Xiao's fourth Soul Skill had ended.
State Rewind!
"Crack-clang!"
Lin Xiao stood up again.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing still supported him carefully
