No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

That ethereal and clear voice came from beyond the heavens, gentle yet noble.

The holy light, like melting snow in spring, happened to block the giant, sky-covering hand between it and the plaza below. The seemingly gentle light abruptly halted the downward momentum of the giant hand.

The players in the square were panting, relieved that they had survived the ordeal. The oppressive feeling of death they had just experienced made them almost think they had been turned into a pile of minced meat.

The Sanctuary Cathedral and the Old Empire have entered into a state of hostility.

[Warning: A great... unknown entity has descended!!! Players, please choose carefully; a wrong choice may affect the future fate of your race.]

This is a bizarre game! What kind of being could destroy the entire bizarre system simply by its arrival?!

Before the players could react, the light faded, and another figure appeared high in the sky, golden eyes horizontal behind the cracked sky, with a beauty standing below the giant eyes.

White feathers covered her eyes, her pale face appearing cold and aloof in the halo, as if all the world's conflicts were irrelevant to her, only the hand that was reaching towards the players' formation was forcibly intercepted in mid-air.

The white feathers covering her eyes fluttered in the wind, and her long, pale golden hair cascaded down like flowing light. The beauty simply stood there quietly, and the compassion and sacred aura emanating from her was enough to instill peace and awe in all who gazed upon her.

The Lord of Pride turned his head to the side.

It was indeed the goddess Ran. Mu Zhixi directly chose to consume faith points, allowing the system to control the other two aliases on her behalf; to be precise, there was only the alias of the Chief Judge.

The Lord of Pride is essentially a part of the Goddess's skill "Divine Descent," but she used it to fill out the quota and act as the villain.

[Skill Name: Divine Descent]

[Skill Description: Consumes Faith Points to project an angelic image behind the user. This angelic image can be freely shaped and possesses offensive and defensive capabilities. It can be used to attack or protect at will, like a god descending to earth.]

The goddess's disguise is responsible for saving the day and maintaining the image of a righteous savior, while the arrogant disguise is responsible for creating crises and saying crazy things, which adds to the "incarnation of the seven emotions and six desires" setting she later fabricated.

"They are just ordinary people who haven't joined any faction yet. Let's stop." The goddess's voice carried a hint of weariness.

Mu Zhixi felt that the line was perfectly appropriate for this occasion, as it was both divine and hinted at the past entanglements between the two.

What the players think is none of her concern.

The arrogant monarch found it particularly amusing, as if she had seen something interesting. She covered her lips, her gaze fixed on the goddess covered in white feathers, her tone revealing a matter-of-fact teasing.

"My dear, why are you always so naive? These despicable creatures are nothing but opportunists. One moment they want to throw themselves into the arms of the royal court, and the next they'll kneel down and shout praises to you. Don't you find it disgusting?"

Her voice paused, as if she was choosing her words carefully, or perhaps she was deliberately giving the "audience" below time to process the information.

"Besides, look at yourself now, you're getting weaker and weaker. How long can you hold on to maintaining that ridiculous holy domain?"

"I'm different from that one in the royal court," her arrogant tone turned ambiguous, "She wants to possess everything you have, but we... we only want you. Why can't you choose us?"

"We are one, aren't we? Once we reunite, everything within sight will grovel at your feet. Why waste your energy on those who are already dead?"

Mu Zhixi didn't expect the Arrogant Lord controlled by the system to have such an explosive amount of information in his words. Phrases like "that one in the royal court," "we," and "reintegration" were enough for the players below to imagine a whole drama.

It's good to air your dirty laundry in public so that others will think your family has a deep history and complex relationships.

As expected, the same thought immediately came to mind among all the elite players.

These beings at this level could easily shield themselves from the senses of us ants, yet they insist on having this conversation right in front of us. What's their motive?

The Blackwing player leader hung his head, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He suddenly realized that their true purpose might simply be to please these high and mighty beings, adding a little bit of trivial amusement to this game between gods through their struggles and deaths.

"Sister..." Ling Xi, the little princess of the Moon Clan, silently gripped the sleeve of the player escorting her.

Seeing that the "Join" button on the system panel had disappeared, and that the escorting players were protecting their little princess behind them, she was now extremely grateful that Princess Lingxi had chosen to join the Holy Domain.

They have at least a 50% chance of survival, while those who didn't join the group...

On the high platform, the seven chief directors and the seven district chiefs dared not utter a sound.

The station director almost buried his head in the ground.

It's over, it's all over now. They heard so much they shouldn't have heard, and it even involved the princess of the old royal court. This is no longer a battle between gods.

With this atmosphere, it feels like even the ancient gods would get slapped across the face by these two!

How did his little near-eight-star dungeon become the center of this storm?

The jealous district chief secretly glanced at the arrogant district chief beside him, his expression a complex mix of envy and jealousy. He transmitted his thoughts telepathically, "Hey, that guy up there... he's not really a relative of yours, is he?"

The arrogant district chief maintained his polite demeanor, with even a faint smile playing on his lips.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Arrogance is a very lowly emotion, and it has nothing to do with me."

The jealous district chief rolled his eyes and ignored him.

High in the sky, the goddess sighed softly, "Power is never meant for showing off or destruction. Humans are born with rage, so they learn to restrain it; they control their lust, so they learn to be patient; they fight against laziness, so they learn to progress."

"You inherited my arrogance, but failed to learn humility."

"You should leave now, before I change my mind."
