Life Metal, the Life Goddess

After walking up to the Destruction Fragment, Xiao Chen did not hesitate for a moment, and directly reached out and slowly placed his hand on the huge purple crystal.

The Destruction power on the crystal surged in his palm, but was separated by an invisible force, unable to harm him in the slightest.

With a thought, he poured his Spiritual Power into the Destruction Fragment, preparing to investigate whether the divine consciousness of the Destruction God King and the Life Goddess still remained within them.

The moment his Spiritual Power surged into the Destruction Fragment, Xiao Chen's consciousness seemed to step into a deep and vast strange space.

The space was filled with a purple glow and a terrifying aura of Destruction, as if every step was on the edge of Abyss capable of shattering everything.

He held his breath and searched the space carefully, and soon spotted two figures.

One strip of green, one strip of purple.

The purple figure appeared to be a man, exuding a deep and violent aura of Destruction. Even just standing there quietly, he carried a captivating sense of oppression, as if he were Destruction itself.

The green figure was a woman, with a slender figure and radiating a gentle and warm Life force, completely opposite to the Destruction aura of the purple, like a spring breeze and rain, soothing all things.

They always wanted to hold onto each other, but they could never quite manage it, as if separated by an insurmountable chasm, only able to gaze at each other from afar.

The two figures were ethereal and dim, making it impossible to discern their exact appearances. They were almost transparent, as if a gust of wind would cause them to vanish completely.

Although he couldn't see the two figures clearly, Xiao Chen immediately recognized them based on the power emanating from them—the divine consciousness of the Destruction God King and the Life Goddess.

However, these two divine senses are extremely weak and are currently in a deep sleep, unable to awaken at all.

Having explored this place, Xiao Chen did not linger any longer, immediately withdrawing his hand and severing his consciousness within the Destruction Fragment.

Seeing Xiao Chen stop, Na'er asked expectantly, "Brother, are you done with your Divine Trial?"

Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, then casually asked, "What Divine Trial?"

"Didn't you say that?" Na'er said matter-of-factly, "To complete the Divine Trial, we must first find the fragments of the Destruction God King."

"The content of the Divine Trial is quite extensive," Xiao Chen said vaguely, "You don't need to worry about it."

"Is this step complete?" Na'er pressed on. "If it's complete, let's go."

"No." Xiao Chen shook his head. "The divine senses of the Destruction God King and the Life Goddess are extremely weak and they are currently in a deep sleep, making communication impossible."

"Huh?" Na'er was stunned. "What should we do?"

" In the Douluo Continent, where can one find something that can awaken the divine consciousness of God King?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the piece of Life Metal that Gu Yue had used to heal her injuries, and subconsciously said, "Unless... we have Life Metal..."

Na'er's words instantly enlightened Xiao Chen.

He had almost forgotten about it.

Several years ago, Gu Yue gave him a piece of Life Metal.

However, that thing wasn't of much help to him, so he never used it and it's now gathering dust in his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

Now, it just so happens to come in handy.

Xiao Chen slowly spoke, "You've reminded me."

"Huh?" Na'er was stunned, then her eyes widened. "You don't really have it, do you?!"

The next second, to Na'er's incredulous gaze, a jade box containing the Life Metal appeared out of thin air in Xiao Chen's hand.

Sensing the Life energy within the jade box, Na'er pointed at it and stammered, "You... you... how do you possess the Life Metal? Could it be...?"

"That's right." Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen interrupted her, "It was a gift from Gu Yue, several years ago."

Na'er's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected Gu Yue to give the Life Metal to Xiao Chen.

You should know, this is something Gu Yue used to heal his injuries!

Gu Yue was even willing to give this to Xiao Chen...

Then, a feeling of indescribable loss welled up in Na'er's heart.

Gu Yue always seemed to be able to bring Xiao Chen various kinds of help; this piece of Life Metal was even related to his Divine Trial.

And what about myself?

What has she brought to Xiao Chen over the years...?

The more she thought about it, the more a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

She was clearly the one who most wanted to stay by Xiao Chen's Xiao Chen, but ironically, it was never her who could offer him help in his time of need.

Na'er's voice carried a hint of disappointment as she asked softly, "Brother, why did you choose me at the Sea God’s Fate event?"

Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Choose you?"

"Just think of it as..." He paused, then said calmly, "You're one of us, right?"

"What about Gu Yue?" Na'er pressed. "Isn't she one?"

"She can't possibly be completely on my side," Xiao Chen said calmly. "She has things she cares about."

Na'er was speechless.

Gu Yue has Gu Yue own concerns, but for her, it seems that from beginning to end, she only has Xiao Chen.

Perhaps, from now on, Xiao Chen can only belong to her.

She clenched her fists tightly, swallowing back the slight disappointment she felt.

"Let's avoid saying things that are detrimental to our relationship." Xiao Chen didn't continue the topic, "I'm going to discuss important matters concerning the safety of the Douluo Continent with Destruction and Life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen didn't delay any longer. He casually threw the jade box containing the Life Metal directly at the Destruction Fragment!

The jade box was completely destroyed by the violent force the moment it came into contact with the Destruction power!

The Life Metal sealed inside the box was completely absorbed by the Destruction Fragment at that moment!

The next second, the entire Destruction Fragment burst into a brilliant green light!

The deep purple crystal was instantly dyed a vibrant green, as if a piece of jade that had been dormant for millennia had suddenly come to life with dazzling vitality!

The rich green light flowed like ripples on water, gradually washing away and cleansing the original violent and Destruction aura.

Then, centered on the Destruction Fragment, a powerful and boundless tide of Life suddenly swept out, completely eradicating the surrounding Destruction power!

It was as if a long-dormant vitality was quietly awakening in this desolate land.

Immediately afterwards, two figures slowly emerged from within the Destruction Fragment.

One purple and one green.

These were the same Destruction God King and Life Goddess Xiao Chen had met before.

However, unlike last time, this time, the Life Goddess's consciousness was no longer a blurry green figure, but clearly revealed her original form.

"Hmm..." The woman slowly opened her eyes, a trace of confusion still lingering in them, as if she were still immersed in a long and dark slumber, not yet fully awake.

After a moment, she gradually regained consciousness, gazing at the long-lost, vibrant world before her, and murmured, "Little Purple and I... aren't we already dead?"

"Could it be... that Tang San resurrected us?"
