Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

Everything is ready; there is no reason to make excuses.

Even if Li Jiuyuan could come up with a reason to refuse at this moment, it would be too late.

Qin Le had made up his mind and was determined to take over the eternal sins she carried and help her ascend to the throne.

What if she disagrees?

It's okay.

Qin Le directly pulled out the ultimate cheat code—inviting the goddess Nuwa to intervene and forcibly strip away the vast and heavy sins of slaughter from Li Jiuyuan's destiny, transferring them all to himself.

This unwavering determination to curry favor, bordering on coercion, left Li Jiuyuan both moved and helpless, unsure of what to say.

Thus, under the irresistible and supreme power of Nuwa, the crimson carnage that had originally tightly bound and permeated the river of Li Jiuyuan's destiny found a new riverbed.

It transformed into an invisible torrent that made one's soul tremble, pouring down with a roar and completely flowing into Qin Le's still-young destiny.

puff--!!!!

The moment the killing was about to occur, Qin Le shuddered violently, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His face turned deathly pale, and veins bulged on his forehead. For the first time in his life, he showed an expression of unbearable, extreme pain.

That is not just physical pain, but torture that directly affects the very essence of existence!

His body, his soul, every inch of it seemed to be repeatedly torn apart and sliced ​​by invisible, sin-stained blades.

An unprecedented, bone-deep, soul-tearing pain overwhelmed him like a tsunami.

Even with Qin Le's strong will, he couldn't help but groan, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

He was not entirely unprepared for this pain.

But... I never expected it to be this intense.

This is different from the karmic consequences he bore for reviving ten clans and creating resurrection points.

Although the path to revival and salvation is severed, it is offset by a vast amount of merit.

To bear this pure karma of killing and sin is to carry a heavy burden of evil consequences, to directly endure the pain and erosion brought about by the backlash of karma.

Om-!

At the critical moment, a warm and vast golden light suddenly shone from Qin Le's body—it was the immense and unparalleled merit he had accumulated from reviving his race and saving all living beings!

The golden light, like the strongest barrier and the most effective painkiller, quickly enveloped him, weakening and isolating the pain that was almost crushing his soul.

The golden light of merit and the scarlet light of killing intertwined and canceled each other out on his body.

Seeing Qin Le cough up blood and suffer unbearable pain the moment he was burdened with murder, Nuwa and Li Jiuyuan both felt a clear pang of heartache and reluctance.

But now that things have come to this, they all know that this is Qin Le's own choice, and no one can change it.

After a while, the intensely opposing light on the body surface gradually subsided, and the golden light of merit slowly receded into the body.

Qin Le let out a long, deep breath, raised his hand, and wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. Although his face was still a little pale, his expression had returned to calm, and he could even manage a smile.

"Phew... I feel much better now." He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he hadn't just been subjected to torture.

The method Nuwa had told him beforehand was to use the merits of Heaven to offset the continuous pain caused by the erosion of sins.

The transfer of the killing karma had been too swift, and since it was his first time mobilizing merit, his operation was not yet proficient, which led to his unexpected injury.

"Little Lele, why are you a beat slow to react?"

Nuwa glanced at him with a hint of reproach, her tone more helpless than anything else, and reached out to ruffle his hair.

Qin Le was also a little embarrassed: "I can't help it, it's my first time using 'Merit Protection', I'm not very skilled at it."

The original plan was that while Nuwa was transferring the evil deeds, he should simultaneously activate merit to provide protection.

Unfortunately, he was quite unfamiliar with how to utilize his immense merit, and thus he truly experienced the initial and most intense impact of that killing.

"Fortunately, you comprehended the 'Great Dao,' and your foundation is solid enough." Nuwa withdrew her hand and sighed as if she had been still shaken. "Otherwise, if it had been a Quasi-Saint, that attack would have shattered their foundation and caused them to perish."

The horror of this massacre lies in this: unless one has comprehended the Great Dao, one simply cannot bear its weight and backlash.

The reason why Li Jiuyuan was able to bear this burden for so many years, besides her unwavering will, was that she had long since comprehended the great principles of humanity.

Otherwise, she would have perished long ago, at the very beginning of the massacres that befell her.

"If I hadn't grasped the essence of the Dao, I wouldn't have dared to take on this job."

Qin Le smiled indifferently, then turned to look at Li Jiuyuan, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration, even giving her a thumbs up:

"But seriously, Senior Jiu Yuan, you're really amazing! You've endured it all these years? Just that one blow just now, I felt like I was about to die..."

The mere impact of the transfer of the killing force caused him unbearable pain.

For the sake of the future of humanity, Li Jiuyuan endured this pain for countless years without any merit to offset it, relying on her own Great Dao as a foundation!

This resilience and sacrifice brought Qin Le's respect for her to its peak.

Li Jiuyuan simply shook her head slightly, seemingly unwilling to dwell on the past hardships, and changed the subject: "There's no need to talk about the past. What are your plans for the future?"

For her, enduring pain was a choice, a responsibility, and no further explanation was needed.

The unprecedented feeling of ease she experienced at that moment, ironically, made her feel an even heavier sense of indebtedness towards Qin Le.

Qin Le thought for a moment and smiled, "I don't have any special plans for now. If I had to say... I'm planning to go find the lair of those 'intelligent' Chaos Beasts and find out what they're up to."

Allowing intelligent Chaos Beasts that understand tactical coordination and possess independent reincarnation systems to lurk in the shadows will always be a major threat.

Even if we don't immediately launch a full-scale war, we must find out where they are hiding and how large they are, so as not to be caught off guard in the future.

"Yes, that's excellent." Li Jiuyuan nodded in agreement.

In her opinion, Qin Le was indeed the best person to carry out this task.

While his direct combat strength may not be top-tier, his unparalleled life-saving ability, especially with the Great Dao of Time and Space and Nuwa's protection, is enough for him to deal with any sudden crisis and come and go freely.

"But there's no rush." ​​Qin Le changed the subject and said with a smile, "I need to deliver some things to a few places first. Senior Jiu Yuan, could you take me to Cold Moon City first?"

The gifts from the sages were of little use to him personally, but they might be of great benefit to Chen Yun, Lu Qingshuang, and their friends.

It's perfect timing to send it to them.

Although she didn't know the specific reason why Qin Le went to Hanyue City, Li Jiuyuan didn't ask further and nodded in response:

"it is good."

She raised her hand and gently swiped it across the void, and a stable spatial portal reappeared.

Nuwa reached out and pinched Li Jiuyuan's smooth, delicate cheek one last time, instructing her, "Little Jiuyuan, it's up to you now. Become a saint as soon as possible."

"I understand, and I will certainly live up to my mother's expectations." Li Jiuyuan nodded solemnly, a firm yet restrained light shining in her eyes.

Nuwa then transformed into a stream of light, entered Qin Le's brow, and returned to his sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Le cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Li Jiuyuan, his smile bright: "Senior Jiuyuan, I'll take my leave now. I wish you... a speedy success!"

"Go ahead, and be careful in everything you do," Li Jiuyuan replied gently.

They watched as Qin Le stepped into the spatial portal and disappeared, and the portal closed behind him.

The clamor and conversations faded away, and the heart of this brutal battlefield, once filled with the roars of chaotic beasts, returned to a silence where she was all alone.

Li Jiuyuan sat cross-legged again, suspended in mid-air. She looked down at the seemingly ordinary foundation stone of the Great Dao lying quietly in her palm.

Her fingertips gently traced the cold surface of the foundation stone, a complex, bitter smile appearing on her face. She murmured to herself, her voice so soft it was almost drowned out by the roars of the beasts below:

"Being a thigh... seems like a good idea."

Although she still couldn't fully understand Qin Le's peculiar thought process, since her mother had said so, Qin Le was also looking forward to it...

So she decided to try it.

After all, if he could successfully ascend to the holy throne, he should be... at least a strong enough leg for that lazy brat to cling to, right?

However, even with the foundation of the Great Way in hand, the road ahead is still long.

Even with her background, it would still take her several years to accumulate experience and make a breakthrough before she can truly take that step.
