About a minute later, the dazzling light finally began to dissipate.
Along with the pillar of light, the enormous demonic flower that had once blotted out the sky also vanished.
There was no trace of the enormous creature left on the spot, only a small pile of completely crushed debris scattered on the ground.
Rudeus crouched down, reaching out to fiddle with the pile of debris, his expression gradually becoming subtle.
"I'm so powerful... I forgot to hold back again."
He looked at the almost completely reduced demonic flower corpse before him and couldn't help but sigh.
"It was destroyed in an accident, leaving no intact materials. How are we supposed to sell it for money now?"
Just as Rudeus was regretting his "mistake," Magia's voice suddenly came from afar.
" Primordial God Impact, look over here!"
Rudeus turned around at the sound.
Magia was standing not far away, waving excitedly at him.
He looked in the direction Magia pointed and discovered that behind the ruins lay a huge crater.
The top of the pit is completely exposed, as if some enormous creature had been forcibly removed from here.
Rudeus approached and looked down into the pit.
There remained some black liquid there, thick and murky, emitting an unpleasant odor.
"This is..."
Rudeus frowned slightly.
Magia stared at the black sewage at the bottom of the pit, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"This should be... Moonlight Lake."
But after saying that, she herself seemed somewhat uncertain.
After all, the black liquid in front of them, exuding a putrid aura, was vastly different from the legendary sacred lake that had given birth to countless miracles for the Long-Ear Race.
Rudeus did not answer, but slowly unleashed his [ God Rank Perception ].
This time, the light of Perception shone brighter than ever before.
After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm... just as I thought."
"This is indeed Moonlight Lake after it has been polluted."
Rudeus stared at the bottom of the pit, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"And it's very interesting..."
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, this lake was polluted just as it was about to transform into a God Rank lake."
Magia paused for a moment.
"What's the meaning?"
Rudeus turned his head and looked at her.
Don't you find that strange?
Why did Moonlight Lake have to be polluted at this crucial time?
Or perhaps--
"Who exactly is it, and what is their purpose, in destroying a sacred lake that is about to transform into God Rank?"
Magia fell silent.
She lowered her head and shook it gently.
"I have no idea."
"It's normal not to know."
Rudeus said calmly.
"It would be unreasonable if everyone could know the truth."
He paused for a moment, his gaze falling on the black lake.
"However, I can tell you."
"The enemy I will ultimately face is the one who cast the pollutant into Moonlight Lake ten thousand years ago."
Magia's pupils contracted slightly.
Rudeus slowly uttered three words:
" False Man-God."
" False Man-God..."
Magia murmured softly.
"So... that's what it is?"
"But..."
"Why would a god attack mortals?"
Rudeus sneered.
That's why it's called False Man-God.
A true god would not trample on life for his own selfish desires.
"And that guy, in essence, is nothing more than a monster disguised as a god."
"False, filthy, despicable, shameless."
"Does such a being deserve to be called a god?"
Magia looked at Rudeus with a hint of awe in her eyes, then she said in a deep voice:
" Primordial God Impact, if you can truly purify Moonlight Lake, our Long-Ear Clan will owe you an immense favor. We will do everything in our power to help you in the future!"
Rudeus's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this.
"Of course, no problem."
"There is nothing that cannot be solved before me."
After saying that, he opened the system panel.

"Call..."
Rudeus secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, I still have enough points."
"System, exchange for Emperor Rank Magic Capacity Expansion Potion."
[bite--]
[Successfully redeemed Emperor Rank Magic Capacity Expansion Potion!]
[Effect: Temporarily increases maximum mana by 1000% for 2 hours.]
[Price: 100,000,000 Emotion Points.]
As the system notification faded, a vial emitting a pale blue glow appeared in Rudeus's hand.
His lips twitched slightly as he looked at the bottle of medicine.
One hundred million Emotion Points...
That's no small sum.
Rudeus gritted his teeth, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
The moment the medicine entered my mouth, a strange power instantly swept through my entire body.
The feeling was as if one's soul and body were being expanded infinitely at the same time.
It felt as if, in the next second, I would be able to embrace the entire world.
But when he looked down, his body had not changed at all.
" Primordial God Impact, are you thirsty?"
Upon seeing this, Magia quickly said...
I have water here.
As she spoke, she quickly took the water bag from her waist and handed it over.
Rudeus glanced at the water bag, then suddenly asked:
"This water bag..."
Have you ever tried it?
Magia paused for a moment.
"Huh?"
Why do you ask that?
" Primordial God Impact, you don't suspect me of poisoning him, do you?"
She quickly shook her head.
How could I dare?
"If you don't believe me, I'll drink it right now and show you!"
After saying that, Magia opened the water bag and tilted her head back to drink.
Because she drank too quickly, a trickle of water slid down the corner of her mouth and slowly flowed down her fair neck.
Upon seeing this, Rudeus immediately looked away, pretending he hadn't seen anything.
He spoke again after Magia finished drinking:
"Since you've already drunk it."
"If I drink some more..."
Does that count as an indirect kiss?
"I have a fiancée."
Magia was stunned.
Her cheeks then flushed slightly.
"No... I didn't expect Primordial God Impact to consider something like this."
"I was being presumptuous."
It's alright.
Rudeus waved his hand.
I'm not particularly thirsty.
"Alright."
"I already have a solution to the Moonlight Lake problem."
He stood at the edge of the pit, a confident smile on his face.
"Keep calm, Magia."
"Get ready to cheer for me..."
"[ Emperor Rank Purification Magic ]!"
The next moment.
Rudeus formed an esoteric hand seal.
In an instant, a vast and sacred magical power erupted from his body.
Golden light shot into the sky.
Behind him, a gigantic phantom of an angel slowly materialized.
The angel had eight wings on its back and a holy and solemn face, just like a true messenger of God descending to earth.
He slowly opened his arms.
Countless golden rays of light, like a curtain of rain, poured down onto the black lake water in the pit.
The instant the light particles come into contact with the turbid liquid.
"Sizzle--"
The black liquid began to churn violently.
A large amount of white mist rose up, as if even the filth hidden within was being burned away bit by bit by this power.
The purification process lasted a full ten minutes.
finally.
boom--!
A dazzling golden beam of light shot into the sky.
The dazzling light even made Magia close her eyes.
As the brilliance gradually fades.
The two finally saw what was at the bottom of the pit.
That lake...
They came back to life.
The originally dark and rotten liquid has now transformed into clear and transparent lake water.
The lake surface shimmered with starlight, as if countless moonbeams were sealed within it.
The water level is rising slowly.
[ Emotion Points +3000 from Magia ]
Magia was completely stunned.
She never imagined that she would actually witness the legendary Moonlight Lake's revival in her lifetime.
That sacred lake.
That gentle scent.
It is gradually changing the surrounding environment.
She knew...
From this moment on...
The Long-Ear Clan is about to usher in a new future.
And the person who changed all of this.
It was this very being standing before us—
Primordial God.
Rudeus gazed at the revitalized Moonlight Lake and couldn't help but sigh.
"It can even glow..."
"If this thing were on Blue Planet, the first reaction of an ordinary person seeing it would probably be that it contains some kind of highly toxic radioactive substance, and then they would run away as fast as they could."
However, Rudeus is clearly no ordinary person.
Instead, he became even more curious and approached the lakeside to observe it more closely.
After a moment, he frowned slightly.
" Magia, come here."
"In the middle of the lake, there seems to be a stone floating."
Upon hearing this, Magia approached and squinted to observe carefully.
The next second.
She was suddenly jolted.
"That... that must be the Moon God Stone!"
"A legendary treasure born from the essence of Moonlight Lake!"
"It is said to be able to purify the bloodline of the Elf Race, and even grant them power beyond the mortal realm!"
Rudeus listened, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Really?"
He immediately activated his [ God Rank Perception ] and began to carefully examine the energy fluctuations within the stone.
A moment later.
His eyes gradually brightened.
Then, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"Very good!"
"A huge red has appeared!"
