Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

More and more ancient auras are awakening throughout the ancestral realm.

Just as Chu Zhou was about to withdraw his divine sense.

The two daytime light wells that had just been connected to the Jianmugen network suddenly lost their response at the same time.

The platinum loop, which was steadily supplying energy to the Temple of the Sun just a moment ago, instantly turned pitch black.

Numerous thin black lines spread backward along the energy channels, attempting to penetrate the core of the Temple of the Sun.

The researcher in charge of monitoring the optical well immediately disconnected the connection.

Shen Xinglan looked at the energy data that had turned completely black and quickly brought up the internal view of the Holy City of Daylight.

The six towers still hang over the holy city.

But the light that once enveloped the entire city is dimming at a visible speed.

One after another, the transparent cocoons of light that sustained the lives of the sleepers went out.

Hundreds of thousands of the holy city’s residents, who were not yet fully awake, simultaneously experienced life-threatening conditions.

The Holy City Center by Day.

The four-winged Speaker, Owen, raises his white scepter, attempting to relight the six light wells.

However, all the holy light sent into the ground would completely disappear within a few breaths.

It was as if beneath the six towers lay a gigantic maw that would devour all light.

Owen did not continue trying.

For the first time, he took the initiative to send a request for help to Heilonghu through two light wells.

"Lord of the Azure Lotus".

"The underground seal of the Holy City of Daylight is collapsing."

"Please shut down both light wells immediately."

"Otherwise, the things below will travel along the energy channel and enter the Temple of the Sun."

Chu Zhou did not immediately sever the connection.

The divine consciousness followed the path of the light well and descended into the underground of the holy city.

At first, he only saw endless darkness.

Until the eternal lotus fire ignited around the divine consciousness.

A giant black egg, pierced by six platinum chains, emerged from the darkness beneath the earth.

The surface of the giant egg lacks the typical life-like patterns.

There were only tightly closed dark gold compound eyes.

Within each compound eye grows the sacred texts of the Holy City of Daylight.

Those names registered in the Holy City are providing a continuous source of power for the giant egg.

[An ancient, high-level parasitic life form has been detected.]

[Target: Eclipse Queen.]

[Current Realm: Peak of the Eleventh Rank.]

[Current Status: Currently undergoing the twelfth stage of metamorphosis.]

[Master the Laws: Devour Light, Parasitic Holy Marks, Descent of Darkness.]

The target has been parasitizing the Holy City of Daylight for 100,000 years.

[Condition for completing the transformation: Absorb the complete Holy Judgment Seal.]

Chu Zhou's consciousness paused.

In the Holy City of Daylight today, there is only one life that possesses the complete Seal of the Holy Judgment.

Isherland.

Although he lost the Holy Judgment Spear, his power was also sealed by the Three Lotus Seals of Suppression.

The Holy Judgment Seal inherited from the ancient holy city within his body still exists intact.

Chu Zhou looked at Owen.

"You guys didn't know about this?"

Owen's hand holding the scepter slowly tightened.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Hunting Court army attacked the Holy City of Daylight."

"The previous Six Towers Council used all its power to suppress a contaminated core that had been injected into the earth's veins."

"We always thought it had lost consciousness long ago."

"During the 100,000 years that the Holy City was sealed off, the six Wells of Light steadily weakened."

"Everyone believes this is normal consumption due to maintaining the secret realm."

Owen looked into the darkness below.

"Now it seems..."

"It never stopped devouring."

Chu Zhou did not answer immediately.

Another root, however, followed the sacred runes of the Holy City of Daylight and entered the Six Towers Tribunal where Itheran was imprisoned.

Iseran was locked on a white stone platform by three Lotus Seals of Suppression.

The bleeding from the cuts on the six wings has stopped.

However, his aura was only 30% of his peak strength.

He saw the lotus roots appear and showed no surprise.

"You finally figured it out."

Chu Zhou's voice traveled along the roots.

"You knew all along that there was pollution beneath the Holy City?"

Isherland remained silent for a moment.

"Seven years ago, the black sun pattern first appeared in the Third Light Well."

"I once led people underground."

"All the angels who came close to the core of the contamination had their names devoured."

"Only the Purification Law can remove it without destroying the six Light Wells."

Chu Zhou finally understood.

Why did Iselan immediately set his sights on the Blue Lotus Division after watching the scenes of the death of the Zen Master Wusheng and Magala?

He did indeed intend to use the Chu boat to save the Holy City of Daylight.

However, he never thought of asking for help.

Instead, they directly regarded the Pure Land Dharma Lotus as a tool that should belong to the Holy City.

"They need me to save them."

"You can speak."

The roots of the Chu boat stopped outside the stone platform.

"Reach out and grab it."

"I will first sever your hand."

Isherland did not defend himself.

"The Holy City of Daylight has weakened to the point that it is unable to suppress an ancient polluted core."

"If this gets out..."

"All the forces that were once suppressed by the Holy City will immediately pounce on us."

"I cannot let anyone know that the Holy City is weakened."

Chu Zhou's voice was calm.

"So you'd rather take the lotus share."

"Would you rather have the whole world watch you being imprisoned in the mountains again?"

Iselan's expression stiffened slightly.

There was no immediate response.

Just then.

A muffled heartbeat suddenly came from below the Six Towers Tribunal.

Boom!

The entire holy city trembled in the daytime.

The first platinum chain that ran through the Eclipse Queen broke at the center.

Large amounts of black liquid gushed out along the crack.

Wherever it passed, all the holy light was stained black.

The second heartbeat followed immediately.

The second chain suddenly exploded.

At the base of the six towers, dense black cracks began to appear.

A two-winged angel has just approached the ground.

The wings on its back were then grabbed by a black hand that emerged from the crack.

He didn't even have time to scream.

He was then dragged underground.

Owen waved his white scepter.

Hundreds of holy light spears fell simultaneously, pinning the black hands to the ground.

The pierced hand did not die.

Instead, they climbed upwards along the spear.

The platinum light quickly turned black.

The Eclipse Queen is using all the laws of light to erode the Holy City of Daylight in reverse.

"Everyone, stop using Holy Light!"

Owen's voice echoed throughout the six towers.

"Disable the Sacred Scripture Array!"

"Transfer the sleeper to the backup life pod!"

But the order came too late.

The third heartbeat fell.

From the deepest part of the blazing white halo in the center of the holy city during the day, a black dot emerged.

The black spot expanded rapidly.

In just a few breaths, most of the halo was dyed pitch black.

Above St. Verde.

The darkness that had just returned vanished once more.

This time, it wasn't daytime.

Instead, it was a black sun that devoured all light.

The city streetlights were not turned off.

However, all the lights can only illuminate the inside of the lampshade.

Once the light leaves the lamp, it will be directly swallowed up by the black sun in the sky.

The entire western part of Europe was quickly plunged into complete darkness.

The Holy City of Daylight has begun external monitoring.

The image of the sun falling was then displayed on screens around the world.

The Joint Defense Council immediately declared a state of war.

Cassian applied to return to his homeworld through the Fire Star Gate.

Xuanweizi also ascended into the sky from the Dragon Kingdom, preparing to travel to Europe.

The Temple of the Sun began accumulating stellar energy.

However, all the light sent towards the Holy City of Daylight would be completely swallowed up as soon as it approached the Dark Sun.

As a result, the aura of the Eclipse Queen continued to strengthen.

【warn! 】

The target is consuming external forces of light.

[Current transformation progress: 94%]

[Normal light-attribute attacks will accelerate the target's advancement.]

Chu Zhou's voice simultaneously reached the Temple of the Sun and the United Defense Council.

"Stop supplying energy."

"It feeds on light."

"The more power you send over, the faster it will devour it."

Xuanweizi hovered high in the sky.

"Hundreds of thousands of people still sleep within the Holy City of Daylight."

"If the power supply is stopped, they won't be able to hold on for long either."

The ten lotus leaves of the Chu boat slowly turned.

"Therefore, ordinary light cannot be used."

The newly acquired Everlasting Lotus Fire ignited from the edge of a lotus leaf.

The azure flames did not have an intense heat.

But above Heilong Lake, it illuminated an extremely stable area.

Chu Zhou sent the first wisp of the Everlasting Lotus Flame into the Holy City of Daylight through the two light wells that were not yet completely closed.

The azure-silver flames had just appeared.

The black sun that shrouded the holy city reacted immediately.

Tens of thousands of black tentacles descended from the sky, vying to engulf the lotus flame.

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse did not sense any danger.

Instead, they regarded this light, which possessed the aura of tenth-order laws, as the most precious nourishment for evolution.

All the blue-silver flames were swallowed by it into the black sun.

A burst of chaotic laughter then echoed across the holy city.

"Pure Lotus of Dharma".

"You are actively helping me complete my final transformation."

Chu Zhou did not withdraw his power.

I simply quietly sensed the changes in the lotus fire after it entered the Black Sun.

"This is what I'm giving you."

"You dare to eat whatever you want?"

The words fell.

The light attribute on the surface of the Everlasting Lotus Fire quickly subsided.

The Azure Lotus Purification Law, hidden deep within, erupted with a deafening roar.

The light source that the Eclipse Queen swallowed was not an ordinary light source.

Instead, it is a purifying flame that can follow the roots of pollution and seek out all the laws of parasitism on its own.

The black sun in the center.

The first cyan-silver crack suddenly lit up.

Then came the second and third rounds.

Thousands upon thousands of cyan and silver fire lines erupted simultaneously from within the black sun.

Beneath the Holy City.

The black roots that parasitized the six light wells burned one after another.

Countless names that had been bound by the laws of the sacred texts for 100,000 years also broke free from their roots.

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse let out a sharp screech.

The darkness covering western Europe trembled violently.

A massive compound eye, large enough to obscure the holy city, opened from the center of the dark sun.

Followed by.

Twelve pairs of shattered black wings unfolded in sequence.

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse no longer hid.

It tore open the ground of the holy city and slowly crawled out from under the six towers.

It was a gigantic monster that possessed both an insect body and a human upper body.

Millions of white cocoons of light grew on its abdomen.

Each cocoon of light contains a soul that was once recorded in the sacred texts.

Its head is composed of countless faces of holy city angels pieced together.

Every face is repeating the same sentence.

"Incorporated into the canon."

"Eternal daylight."

Owen saw those familiar faces and his body swayed slightly.

One hundred thousand years ago.

Many angels who were thought to have exhausted their lifespan and returned to daylight never actually entered the Holy City for reincarnation.

They all became food for the Queen of Day Eclipse.

The Eclipse Queen did not attack Ovion.

The twelve pairs of Blackwings simultaneously turned toward the Six Towers Tribunal.

It can sense it clearly.

The final master seal required to complete the twelfth-order evolution is within Iselan's body.

"The Seal of the Holy Judge."

Millions of overlapping sounds emanated from within the insect's body.

"Leave it to me, Your Majesty."

The Six Towers Tribunal was shattered.

Countless black tentacles pierced through the wall and reached for Isheran on the stone platform.

The three lotus seals of the Dharma-suppressing system lit up simultaneously.

They sealed Iseran's power, but at this moment, they also shielded him from the first wave of devouring.

Iselan watched the tentacles approach relentlessly.

I finally understand.

The so-called Holy Judge was never an enemy of the Eclipse Queen.

The Holy City of Daylight preserved its last offering for 100,000 years.

Owen turned to look at the blue lotus projection.

"Please save the residents of the holy city."

"The Holy City of Daylight is willing to pay any price it can afford."

Live broadcast globally.

Some people have raised different opinions.

"The Holy City of Daylight just wanted to take over Saint Ver.

"Iserland even attacked Black Dragon Lake."

"Now that something's happened, why should the Lord of the Azure Lotus take the risks for them?"

Such voices are not uncommon.

Chu Zhou did not withdraw Hengzhou Lianhuo because of this.

"It is Iserlan who owes the debt."

"Not those who are sleeping in the holy city."

"I will save lives."

"It has nothing to do with whether or not I forgive him."

At the shore of Heilong Lake.

The array patterns sealing the Holy Judgment Spear lit up on their own.

The gun has lost the mark of Iselan's real name.

However, it retains three laws: transcending space, tracing pollution, and divine judgment breaking boundaries.

Chu Zhou's root coiled around the gun barrel.

Slowly pull it out of the deep pit.

Little Jinbao immediately grabbed the platinum-armored leaf and ran off the back of the black armor.

"Owner."

"Are you going to return the gun?"

Chu Zhou's roots gently tapped the gun barrel.

"I'll borrow it for a while."

Little Jinbao was immediately relieved.

"Will you bring it back after you're done using it?"

The dark red crystal patterns on the surface of the strange rock shimmered gently.

"If the people of the Holy City of Daylight hear these words of yours..."

"They probably wouldn't consider this their weapon."

Chu Zhou ignored him.

The power of the nine world nodes is converging along the Jianmu Root Network towards the Holy Judgment Spear.

The pure white spear, originally belonging to the Holy City of Daylight, gradually developed streaks of blue and silver lotus patterns.

Shen Xinglan also sent the coordinates of both light wells into the spear.

The Holy Judgment Spear emitted a clear ringing sound.

Above Heilong Lake.

A narrow passage connecting the Holy City of Daylight was torn open once again.

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse seemed to sense danger.

The twelve pairs of black wings closed simultaneously.

Millions of souls trapped in the abdomen were all pushed to the front.

As soon as the attack lands.

The first to perish were the inhabitants of the holy city who were devoured by it.

"Pure Lotus of Dharma".

"Don't you claim to protect all living beings?"

"I'd like to see that."

"Do you dare kill them all too?!"

Chu Zhou did not change the direction of the gun.

The lotus fire, however, lit up simultaneously along the six light wells of the holy city throughout the day.

The flames did not attack the Queen of the Daybreak.

Instead, they first fall into those imprisoned cocoons of soul light.

The blue-silver lotus pattern spreads along the outer edge of each light cocoon.

A complete protective barrier temporarily separates all souls from the Queen Mother's insect body.

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse sensed something was wrong.

Immediately tighten the abdominal muscles.

He wanted to swallow those souls back into his body.

Inside the cocoon.

The first angel to awaken, an elderly angel, slowly opened his eyes.

He has been trapped inside the Queen Mother's body for 30,000 years.

Even his own name has been reduced to a blurry trace.

But when the blue lotus flames illuminate the soul.

He still remembered which tower he belonged to.

"The Keeper of the Sixth Tower".

"Lorne".

The old man raised his palm.

He voluntarily tore off the sacred mark that had turned black between his eyebrows.

The second soul then opened its eyes.

The third and fourth rounds.

More and more residents of the holy city are regaining self-awareness.

They did not continue to supply power to the Eclipse Queen.

Instead, they actively broke free from the sacred chains that had been in place for 100,000 years.

In the holy city by day.

Tens of thousands of residents who were still conscious also witnessed this scene.

They discovered it for the first time.

That sacred book, which was considered a source of honor, had long since become a conduit for the Queen Mother to parasitize everyone.

Owen raised his white scepter.

"All residents of the Holy City of Daylight."

"Those who voluntarily retain their holy status may continue to maintain the connection."

"Those willing to be released."

"The Six Towers Council will not stand in the way."

After the order was given.

There was no immediate response from the holy city.

Many angels are registered in the holy book from birth.

They never imagined that one day they would be able to withdraw voluntarily.

Until the first house.

A child with only two tiny wings reached out and extinguished the sacred lamp in the house.

"I don't want to become that monster's face."

His mother remained silent for a moment.

They also took their own holy book seal from the lamp base.

One cup, two cups, three cups.

More and more holy lamps were extinguished in the holy city during the day.

But at the same time.

The ordinary lighting array was turned on again.

Those lights no longer flow into the unified holy book.

Only the houses belonging to each family are illuminated.

The Eclipse Queen's control over the six light wells rapidly weakened.

Its abdomen, covered with millions of light cocoons, also began to detach from the insect's body.

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse let out an angry roar.

"Not included in the canon."

"Then they do not deserve the protection of the day!"

Chu Zhou's voice came from the two light wells.

"Is it worth living?"

"It's not up to a worm to decide."

At this moment, the Holy Judgment Spear descended across the void.

The shadow of the blue-silver spear pierced through the dark sun.

It did not fall towards the mother's abdomen.

Instead, it passed right through the center of the twelve pairs of black wings behind it.

The pair of black wings exploded on the spot.

Then came the second and third pairs.

The law of divine judgment spread along all the wing bones.

The enormous body of the Eclipse Queen was pinned firmly to the center of the six towers.

Live broadcast globally.

Everyone recognized the weapon.

Iserland just used it to cross the continent and attack Black Dragon Lake.

now.

Chu Zhou held the Holy Judgment Spear firmly in his hand, pinning down the true enemy of the Holy City of Daylight.

Isherland also witnessed this scene.

The three lotus seals that suppress the Dharma on his body have not yet been removed.

He could only stand in the shattered courtroom, looking up at his own weapon.

Chu Zhou's divine sense traveled along the spear.

"Nice gun."

"It's a pity that the previous owner didn't know how to use it."

Iselan's face darkened.

But they couldn't refute it.

The Eclipse Queen struggled frantically.

The twelve pairs of black wings were torn apart one after another, and black blood rained down like a storm.

Every drop of blood that falls on the ground of the Holy City will spawn a large number of light-devouring larvae.

Owen led his two-winged guards to form a defensive line.

However, the moment the Holy Light Law touches the larvae, they are swallowed whole.

The swarm of insects was about to rush towards the sleeping area.

A phantom image of a blue-silver lotus leaf suddenly unfolded above the well of light.

The lotus flames spread across the ground throughout the day.

As soon as the larvae swallowed the first flame, they began to burn from within their bodies.

They can devour ordinary light.

However, it was unable to digest the Pure Lotus Law.

Large swarms of insects turned to ashes.

The pure holy light that had been devoured was released again by the Everlasting Lotus Fire and sent back to the six towers.

[The Eclipse Queen's transformation progress is slowing down.]

[Current transformation progress: 81%]

[Current progress: 63%]

[The target is detected shifting towards the core of the law.]

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse has twelve pairs of compound eyes, all locked onto Isheran.

It no longer attempts to control the entire holy city.

All the black tentacles burst forth from the insect's body, bypassing the Holy Judgment Spear and rushing towards the Six Towers Inquisition.

As long as you swallow the seal of the Holy Judgment.

It still has a chance to force its way into the twelfth tier.

The main seal within Iselan's body also began to move outward uncontrollably.

The Three Lotus Seals can seal away power.

However, it could not completely sever the connection between the main seal and the Holy City of Daylight.

Iselan looked down at her chest.

A blazing white sun is slowly emerging from flesh and blood.

That was the source of all his power and identity.

It was also the last food that the Eclipse Queen had been waiting for for 100,000 years.

Owen quickly arrived at the front of the courtroom.

"Hold fast to the seal of the Holy Judgment!"

"It is the core that resealed the Queen Mother!"

But Iselan did not listen.

He raised his hands.

Actively grasp the Daytime Seal that is leaving the body.

"For 100,000 years."

"The Holy Judge wields the weapons of the Six Towers and interprets all covenants on behalf of the Holy City."

Everyone told me.

"As long as the authority of the Holy Judgment remains, the Holy City of Daylight will not truly perish."

Iseran looked up at the Queen of Eclipse.

"But it was from the very beginning."

"This is the power we've been waiting for."

Owen noticed his movement.

"What do you want to do?"

Isherland did not answer.

His five fingers suddenly tightened.

He forcefully pulled the Holy Judgment Seal, which had been fused with his divine soul for 100,000 years, from his chest.

Platinum blood flowed continuously down the armor.

Iseran's six wings also quickly dimmed after the main sign was separated from his body.

The Queen Mother of Day Eclipse let out an excited hiss.

All the black tentacles changed direction and surged wildly toward the main seal.

But Itheran did not hand over the Seal of the Lord to the Council of the Six Towers.

Instead, he turned his body around.

It was thrown directly into the azure-silver eternal lotus fire.

boom!

The Holy Judgment Seal burned fiercely.

All forced investiture and sacred bindings were swiftly eliminated by the Purification Law.

Only a wisp of the purest essence of daylight remained, slowly suspended in the center of the flames.

The last hope of the Eclipse Queen advancing to the twelfth rank has been completely extinguished.

It tilted its head back and let out a piercing roar.

The insect's body, pinned down by the Holy Judgment Spear, began to swell rapidly.

"Since I am unable to advance in rank..."

"Then let the entire Holy City of Daylight be..."

"Let's all return to darkness!"

Cracks appeared simultaneously in all six light wells.

The Eclipse Queen is detonating the dark origins accumulated over 100,000 years.

Once the Six Wells collapse.

The Holy City of Daylight and the nearby city of Saint Ver will be dragged into eternal darkness.
