If the divine power were still there, it would be quite easy, but the divine power had already been exhausted in the previous battle.

The distant roar of battle grew increasingly intense, then one area fell silent amidst the noise, only to erupt into fierce fighting elsewhere.

Seeing that Helena understood his meaning, he immediately went to help the others after helping her defeat the Rule Entity.

He closed his eyes, leaving only a sliver of awareness, and then focused on his breathing to heal his injuries.

The silence of the night seemed to slowly surround him, as if protecting his safety.

.......

"Thump..."

With a slight clatter, Li Xia opened her eyes and saw Cang Lan, who had lost an arm and a leg and was even blind in one eye, standing in front of her, leaning on a cane made of vines.

A smile still lingered on her somewhat swollen face. Emerald's limbs had all turned to wood, resembling a vine demon, and she was supporting Violet, whose eyes had lost their luster.

All three children, one by one, lay in the small cart made of vines and were dragged all the way here.

"Ouch... Ouch..."

It was whimpering and howling, and although it looked terrible, it seemed to be in relatively good spirits.

On the contrary, Black Charcoal and Howling Sky had lost a claw and fur, and the other had lost a hind leg. Their heads were also swollen up like they had been opened.

Xiaotian wasn't very bright to begin with, and this made things even more worrying.

Fortunately, they seem to be out of danger. Injuries are the least of their worries for an apostle. As long as they can make it back to the temple, they will recover completely.

This is also one of the most insurmountable advantages that the Apostles possess compared to the myriad races of the void. What are injuries to the Great Dao, what is a damaged foundation, what is a final burst of energy before death, what is a shattered soul...?

Once we return to the Hall, with Hall Points and resources, none of this will be a problem!

Azure's remaining single eye looked at Li Xia, who was leaning against the mound of earth and looked equally wretched, and suddenly chuckled. But after only a couple of laughs, it began to bend over and cough violently.

"Cough cough cough cough————"

Even so, he couldn't resist making a joke:

"You look even worse off than us! How about it, you're not going to die, are you?"

Li Xia glanced at him but didn't say anything. If it weren't for the three of them and Helena stopping the four tuners, he would have died.

There was no way out. All four tuners were original sin beings who had broken through twice, and it would take Li Xia a lot of effort to deal with them.

The three hunters and the three little ones managed to hold out, even at a terrible cost, but they managed to stall for time and give themselves time to kill the black beast alone.

"You've broken through?"

Li Xia sensed the distinctly different auras emanating from the three individuals and understood... Without a breakthrough, even with the help of the three little ones, it would have been difficult to hold on until now.

The three little ones are very strong and they are not at a disadvantage against the apostles, but the original sin body is definitely not something that ordinary apostles can face. Even top-level apostles of the fifth rank would have a hard time defeating it.

This has nothing to do with strength, but rather because the abilities possessed by the original sin body are biased towards rules, while fifth-order apostles do not have much experience or ability to deal with rules.

Li Xia's ability to become a demigod, coupled with divine power and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, does not mean that others can do the same.

"yes....."

Azure first helped Violet to sit down, then simply plopped down on the ground, staring at the sky with her only remaining eye:

"We've broken through... If we hadn't, we'd probably be dead by now."

His tone was filled with emotion, saying that a breakthrough is not a status refresh, nor is it a game, so there is no automatic return to full status after a breakthrough.

After their breakthrough, they simply finally had the means to fight back, but the injuries they had sustained before remained.

If it weren't for Helena's timely assistance, he would still have died in the end.

"I had to merge a leg and an arm into the divine armor to barely make it enough."

Azure stroked his severed arm. The idea King had come up with was to integrate a part of his soul into the divine weapon.

Because a part of the soul does not possess emotions or reason, it will not be destroyed when merging with the rules, and there is a connection between souls.

To make divine intervention a part of oneself is nothing short of a genius idea.

But it didn't come without a price; Azure lost a leg and an arm forever.

"I fused my own eyes..."

Jin Zi spoke softly, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't even have the strength to dissect my body anymore, so I could only dissect the easiest part to cut: the eyes..."

"You guys are pretty lucky, I barely managed to make it by sacrificing all four of my limbs..."

Emerald looked at herself, which resembled a vine demon, with vines covering her arms and legs, and her voice was almost breaking with tears.

"Anyway... surviving is the best outcome!"

Canglan touched his head with his remaining hand and laughed heartily.

He thought they were all going to die here, but now it's better than the best outcome he could have imagined. What more could he ask for? As long as they're alive, there's hope.

"But we won... and then what? The world doesn't seem to have gotten any better, does it?"

The sky remained overcast, and the surrounding environment carried a heavy sense of death.

Li Xia pointed to a pile of things left behind by the dead black beast not far away. Those things were crystal clear, without a single impurity, and they spun, tumbled, and circled in mid-air, all coming together.

"Do you see that?"

"I see it, what's that?"

Cang Lan's eyes widened. He seemed quite unaccustomed to his remaining eye, having trouble judging distance and direction.

“Those are fragments of laws.” Li Xia lowered his hand: “Use your divine power to repair, reconstruct, and then piece them back together.”

If the Circle of Laws is controlled, the world will gradually recover.

The world is not without the power to repair itself; in fact, its self-repairing power is quite strong. If only a portion of the laws collapse while the rest remains intact, then these laws will eventually re-integrate into the world and return to it.

The reason the world is the way it is is because the laws of nature have collapsed too completely.

This repair method was something that Yuanxu-1 had spent a long time coming up with, and it was indeed the only way to save the world.

Why did Number Two have to kill Number One?

Because he knew this method would work.

However, Number Two wanted to integrate his body into the Law Ring, becoming an existence that coexists with the world in a different sense.

That is, as long as the world exists, he exists; in a narrow sense, he is eternally immortal and has ascended to godhood.

However, Yuanxu No. 2 had never considered this level of law, so how could he possibly withstand it?

Azure was taken aback: "Why am I the one who repaired it? Shouldn't it be you, the strongest one, who repaired it?"

Although I did have many bad impressions of you in the past, if you were to take control of this world...

Cang Lan paused, thought about it carefully, and nodded: "I think I still agree."

Li Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud, which aggravated his wound. The intense pain made him frown and take a deep breath.

"I'm going back now. I'm leaving this world to you."

Suddenly, the whining voice beside him burst into laughter: "Young man, prepare to repair the Elden Ring, ascend the throne, and become the King of Elden!"

Li Xia was taken aback, and felt that it was indeed quite fitting.

Similarly, the law ring shatters, and the law must be repaired to rebuild the world's order.

He shook his head, looked at the message displayed in front of him that read, "You have completed the final main quest. Do you want to return immediately?", and chose to return.

But his earlier statement about going back stunned not only Cang Lan, but also the other two.

Go back? Go back where? Back to the shelter? What do you mean? Going back to the shelter without taking them with you?

Before they could even ask a question, a faint white light appeared on the bodies of Dark Night and the three little ones.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the thick haze in the sky, and a clear, peaceful white light, just like a stage light, enveloped them.

Li Xia and the three little ones' bodies were radiating points of light, and their bodies slowly floated up in the pillar of light.

Jin Zi, blind and unable to see anything, frantically reached out and grabbed Cang Lan's broken leg, shaking it violently: "What happened? What happened? What's going on?"

Azure gasped in pain, her mouth agape as she and Emerald stared in disbelief at Darkflame and the three little ones soaring higher and higher in the pillar of light.

"Dark Flame, Dark Flame, she..."

Keiko grew increasingly impatient: "What's wrong with Dark Flame? Stop being so long-winded."

Jade: "Dark Flame... Dark Flame has gone to heaven!!"

Heavens above! Jin Zi opened her mouth, realizing for the first time that her decision to sacrifice her eyes was an extremely foolish one.

In fact, not only them, but also Li Xia and the three little ones were deeply surprised.

This is the first time they've made a comeback in this way, completely different from their previous comebacks.

A thought suddenly popped into Li Xia's mind: Could it be that the rules of this world have collapsed, causing the Hall of Light to be unable to directly call the rules of this world, thus creating a time-stopping effect like before?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

As they ascended, they once again entered the boundless starry sky. All around them was the pitch-black depths of space, with distant stars emitting points of light, and nearby planets slowly orbiting the sun, recklessly releasing their light and heat.

Looking at the slowly rotating, somewhat hazy planet beneath my feet, I finally entered a familiar phase.

"etc!"

Li Xia suddenly spoke up, and to the horror of the three little ones, the notification from the Hall of Light actually stopped.

"What will happen to this world?"

The notification flickered for a moment, then slowly disappeared, and the image appeared before my eyes.

.........................

"Let's go. Even if we really need to fix the rules, we need to let the injury heal first..."

Azure clicked her tongue, watching the dark flames disappear into the sky.

“Dark Flame, he…”

Jin Zi said somewhat absentmindedly:

"Is he not coming back?"

"Darkflame shouldn't be from here; perhaps he's a traveler from this starry sky..."

Azure struggled to her feet, looking at the gray sky:
