Chapter 703 Finale (6)

This time, Jin Yuan did not use any divine power on her.

He only wanted to hear her most honest answer.

Jiang Xinli looked at him with a complicated expression.

This god, who possessed the power to control all things in the world, was now covered in wounds, yet he gazed at her with an almost humble and devout look.

During this period of time, intimate scenes between the two of them kept uncontrollably surfacing in my mind.

She seemed dazed for a moment.

But the next moment, Yun Bo, shrouded in black mist and whose fate was unknown, and Sheng Tianze and the others, trapped in the illusionary trial realm of the main hall, appeared ahead.

The dangers encountered on the ultimate path, and the past experiences of being deceived and manipulated by Him, all rushed into my mind in an instant.

She abruptly pulled her hand back, her fingertips tracing the still-damp blood on his palm, and staggered back half a step:
"Jinyuan, you're dreaming."

"Ah"

Despair and bitterness welled up in the dark green eyes of the young deity.

He lowered his head slightly and chuckled softly, "I have waited a thousand years and plotted for a thousand years."

All I got in return was a "you're dreaming."

Silence spread in the air.

After a long silence, He slowly squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, “...Good, very good.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the runes that shot up from all around him burst forth with dazzling light once again.

The runes on the jade trees on both sides of the Ruby Passage also emitted a strange blue light.

A classic tray engraved with dark gold roses appeared in mid-air in front of Jiang Xinli.

He raised his hand and waved it.

The velvet cover slipped off, revealing the contents of the tray:

A pair of wedding rings crafted from rare star stones, and a dagger with an antique design and a blade that gleams with a cold light.

"Jiang Xinli." His voice echoed throughout the temple, filled with a desperate madness.

"I'm giving you one last choice now."

"Either put on the ring and finish the wedding with me."

He pointed to the dagger on the tray, his voice cold and deep, carrying divine power:

"Either use it to kill me."

"Use this dagger, engraved with god-slaying runes, to pierce my already shattered dragon crystal heart."

"select."

Jiang Xinli took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over the pair of gleaming rings and landing on the sharp, cold dagger.

"You are a god, how could you possibly die?" She closed her eyes, her voice tinged with weariness and despair.

"Jinyuan, I'm tired. Do with me as you please."

How could He possibly let her kill him?

Unless, like the deliberate injury just now, it was all part of His scheme.

Or perhaps it's just another part of the overall wedding ceremony.

"What, you were so decisive when you crushed my dragon crystal back then, but now you're hesitant?"

He sneered, grabbed her wrist, and a dark mist filled his emerald eyes.
"Or is it that you actually care about me and can't bear to kill me?"

He demanded sharply, "Speak!"

She gritted her teeth and spoke slowly, deliberately:
"I hate that I can't kill you with my own hands."

“Fine, I’ll grant your wish.” He picked up the dagger and placed it in her palm. “It’s enchanted.”

"Only those beloved by the gods can use it."

He gripped her hand tightly, pressing the tip of the knife against his own heart. "Either, stab me now."

"Either marry me, form a pact with me, and become a god."

"Forever and ever, stay by my side."

He raised his hand and held her waist, his fingertips caressing her waist dimples through the thin wedding dress.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his voice low and husky, "You clearly enjoy it when I touch you, don't you?"

"Am I more capable of making you fall for me than Yun Bo or Sheng Tianze?"

"How can the touch of mortals compare to that of the gods?"

Noticing the slight trembling in her wrists and tense body, he smiled.

"Or, I could spare their lives."

"If you're afraid of being alone."

"From now on, whenever I need you, I'll have them watching from the side."

"Let them know how the gods can make you submit and beg for mercy."

"how?"

“Jin Yuan,” Jiang Xinli gripped the dagger tightly, her knuckles turning white, her voice trembling, “you are truly shameless.”

"I have even more shameless things to say, do you want to hear them?"

He covered her hand holding the knife with his other hand and suddenly removed all his defenses.

With a slight exertion of his fingers, the tip of the knife pierced halfway into His heart.

More blood seeped from the black dress.

Jiang Xinli caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye.

This time, as the blood dripped, the runes on the ground remained unchanged.

At the same time, a destructive black force pierced straight into Jin Yuan's heart along with the dagger.

Her doubts lessened slightly.

A thought arose in her mind.

Only by killing Jin Yuan can the restrictions on the main hall be broken and Sheng Tianze and the others be rescued.

"Marry me." He stared into her eyes, his fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand that held the knife, but his voice gradually turned cold. "My patience is running out."

His tone suddenly turned cold, "Or do you want me to kill them all before you'll—"

"Pfft!"

The sound of a dagger piercing flesh interrupted His words.

Jin Yuan groaned, and more destructive energy surged into his body along the blade, warm blood droplets splashing onto Jiang Xinli's eyelashes.

He looked at the girl before him, her eyes filled with resolute killing intent, a flicker of disbelief crossing his own eyes. "You—"

“Jin Yuan,” Jiang Xinli bit her lip, gripped the dagger tightly, and pushed it an inch deeper into His heart, “I will grant your wish.”

His voice was tinged with pain and despair, "So... you ultimately chose them?"

"Yes."

"Ha, as expected, only you can kill me."

Blood and foam continued to spill from the corner of his lips, yet he stubbornly held her waist tighter, pressing the dagger even deeper into his chest.

"I am willing to die by your hand."

Gradually, the light in his green eyes dimmed, but a strange, satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

The power within the dagger, carrying specks of light, rapidly spread throughout His entire body.

"Jiang Xinli, I love you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the towering deity collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Xinli was stunned: He died so easily?
She was about to bend down to check His breath when she saw His body begin to emit specks of dark starlight.

A crack in the starlight faintly revealed a black dragon shadow.

Soon, the light disappeared without a trace in the air.

The dagger in her hand also turned into stardust and disappeared.

The pair of starstone wedding rings on the tray suddenly cracked, shattering into ice dust that mixed into the surrounding black mist.

At the same time, the barrier that had surrounded the entire temple quietly dissipated.

The thick fog that had enveloped Yunbo began to dissipate.

The four dragon scales on her collarbone, which had been dyed jet black, returned to their icy blue color.

However, the runes at the wedding venue, and the black vortexes above people's heads covered with runes, continued to rotate slowly and orderly.

She frowned.

Jin Yuan, the evil god who controlled everything, just died like that?

Was it because His dragon crystal shattered, or because of that dagger?
"Yunbo!"

Without a second thought, she ripped off the ornaments Jin Yuan had given her and ran towards Yun Bo, who was shrouded in thick fog. The fog dissipated.

But where Yunbo should have been, the outline of a mermaid appeared instead.

Long, light purple hair; a handsome, slender face; pale, muscular abs; and a radiant crescent moon adorning his champagne-colored fishtail tail.

It is Xueyin.

Jiang Xinli was stunned.

Could it be because the black sword that just stabbed Yun Bo was contaminated?

Xueyin's serum can resist pollution, therefore...
Her fingers were cold and trembled slightly.

Has Yunbo merely relinquished control of his body temporarily, or has he already done so?
No, that's not right.

If Xueyin is still alive, then Yunbo will naturally not die.

She felt a little relieved.

"Miss Kokoro!"

The boy slowly opened his eyes and saw Jiang Xinli. Joy flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to hug her.

But seeing the disappointment and worry in her eyes, his outstretched arm froze in mid-air, his fingers curling slightly.
"Is it because you didn't see Yunbo that you—"

He quickly glanced around, his gaze landing on her blood-stained chest and white wedding dress. His expression changed abruptly, and he reached out to support her.
"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Xueyin, we are now in the Ultimate Land, and the situation is somewhat complicated, so it cannot be explained in a short time."

Jiang Xinli spoke calmly, but inwardly she was extremely anxious.
"Xueyin, I want to see you too. But right now, I need Yunbo to wake up, and I must go and rescue Aze and the others."

The boy grasped her hand. "Miss Xinli, I can help too—"

“Yunbo knows the situation here better,” Jiang Xinli interrupted him, her voice softening slightly.
"Only he survived the trial illusion and broke through the restrictions of the Abyss to get here."

Only he knew what had happened to Sheng Tianze and the others.

She cupped his face in her hands and gently kissed his lips.

"Xueyin, believe me, we will succeed soon, and we will definitely meet again."

The boy was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I understand, don't worry."

He closed his eyes, "I'll try to give my body back to him now."

"Ah."

The boy gave her one last deep look, then his brows furrowed and his body began to tremble slightly.

Jiang Xinli watched him anxiously while cautiously scanning her surroundings.

Since Jin Yuan fell, it has been too quiet around us.

Were all those followers outside the palace dealt with by Yun Bo?
"Little bride." A melodious voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Yunbo!"

Familiar dark purple eyes came into view, and the next second, she was embraced in a cool, broad embrace.

Yunbo is back.

Jiang Xinli hurriedly lifted her face in his arms to look at the place where he had been pierced by the black sword.

Fortunately, the mermaid's self-healing ability is working.

Fresh scabs had formed there.

"Are you OK?"

"Are you OK?"

They both spoke at the same time.

Jiang Xinli's eyes reddened, and her nose tingled. "I'm fine."

"I'm fine too." Yunbo gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb and kissed her.

"I was severely affected by the pollution just now, but thankfully Xueyin cleaned it in time."

He explained softly, carefully examining her from head to toe to confirm that she only had bloodstains, before his brow relaxed.

However, upon noticing the rapid increase in her mental strength and ability level, and recalling the words he had vaguely heard from Jin Yuan earlier, his heart sank.

He probably guessed it.

But now is not the time to ask.

Yun Bo's purple eyes swept around, his brows furrowing slightly: "Jin Yuan, he's just dead like that?"

There was indeed no longer any trace of Jin Yuan in the air.

He seemed to have vanished completely.

But all of this has gone too smoothly.

“Yes, it looks like their soul and body were completely destroyed.” Jiang Xinli nodded. “I also think it doesn’t seem very real.”

She took a deep breath. "But let's not worry about that for now."

Whether He was truly dead or feigned death.

She now had only one thought: to go to the main hall and rescue Sheng Tianze and the others.

Yunbo thought so too.

He glanced at the jewel-studded wedding temple behind him, picked her up, and turned to walk towards the temple.

His mental rage level is very high.

Jiang Xinli cupped his face and kissed his lips.

Yunbo's mental riot value dropped rapidly.

But he didn't let go; instead, he tightened his grip on the back of her neck, deepening the kiss as they walked.

A pungent smell of blood wafted through the air, but not a single skeleton was in sight.

The runes on the walls are still there, but the wedding decorations and dark gold rose petals that Jin Yuan created with divine power have disappeared.

Some of the restrictions and barriers that originally existed outside the palaces also disintegrated as the Abyss of Ashes dissipated.

Jiang Xinli's brow relaxed slightly. "Perhaps, He really is dead."

Perhaps from beginning to end, He was just a paranoid and twisted madman.

"Hmm." Yun Bo pecked her lips. "Little bride. Will you be disappointed if you can't become a 4S-level Dark Female?"

“No.” Jiang Xinli shook her head. “Why I am successful is not important. I am myself first and foremost.”

"As long as you're all here with me, that's enough." After saying that, she suddenly remembered the nightmare from the Land of the End.

He recalled the Xuan Ying that Jin Yuan had crushed with a single hand.

Hopefully, it really was just a dream.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

"It's nothing." She hugged his neck tighter. "By the way, what exactly did you encounter after entering the Ultimate Land?"

"We've fallen into a trial illusion. There are no golem corpses inside, but there are many fire-breathing black pterosaurs."

"You two are together?" Jiang Xinli's heart tightened.

"Ah."

"What about Aze and the others?"

"They're all alive. We repelled all the pterosaurs, but—" Yunbo paused:
"Outside the illusion, there is a rose rune barrier, which you must have set up in the past."

"When Sheng Tianze and the others passed through the barrier, it showed that they were bound to you by marriage, so only I passed through."

As Yunbo spoke, a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

He never imagined that his unregistered status in the interstellar world and that marriage not recognized by certain rules would actually allow him to avoid the barriers that Jiang Xinli had personally set up.

Jiang Xinli frowned: Why did she set up that barrier back then?
And yet, she only trapped her "legal" beastly husband.

“Outside your barrier, there’s another black barrier, set up by Jin Yuan,” Yun Bo continued.

"Perhaps because Xueyin and I once made offerings to Him, I tried for a long time and finally passed through."

“That day, when you and Jinyuan came to the main hall, we could all sense you.”

"And that night, when you passed by the palace gate, we could also sense you."

But they were frozen in place like statues.

“Sheng Tianze called out to you with his heart, but…” Yun Bo tightened his arms around her slightly, “Jin Yuan set up a restriction.”

They could only watch helplessly as He took her away step by step, having lost her memory.

"You know what happened next."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them stopped in front of the hall where 14 sacred beast sculptures stood.
