Chapter 830 - 403: Divine Child
In the instant the domain closed, Meimei exerted all her strength, and the magic power gathered in this space immediately transformed into a torrential downpour.
The white-haired girl’s beautifully curled hair clung to her cheeks, her youthful chest heaving, while the silver radiance of the Water Fairy Armor appeared slightly dimmed.
"Hurry," the girl said to Zoe, "if it weren’t for the equipment made by your leader, there would be no way to unfurl a domain in this Fire Core area, but I can’t hold on much longer either."
Meimei gritted her teeth, manipulating the change in the domain. At this moment, the injured Star Soul offered no resistance. She didn’t need to transform rain into a blade; she just needed it to use pure Water Elements to wash away the flames on its surface, reducing the temperature.
And the steam rising from the high temperatures was also dispersed by her beyond the domain, disappearing into the rift between the Material Dimension and the domain.
Zoe nodded, understanding that Meimei didn’t have a powerful Energy Source to sustain her, meaning her energy to maintain the domain was limited.
From the moment the domain took shape, she hadn’t spoken much; she had been preparing all along.
The young girl clenched her lips, with mist from the Ice Wolf stance emerging between her mane, transforming into a layer of ice covering her entire body. The fierce wolf gracefully surged forward, the Mechanical Dragon Sea Song Sword wielding the Water Wave Blade, slashing through the remnants of fire ahead.
Passing through the final layer of steam, Zoe reached the giant bull’s head. She resisted the urge to look at Hedaya’s festering eyeball and lava-flowing skin, raising her hand to touch its forehead.
The Light of the Star Soul spread from the point of contact between the two, with bands of rune lights rotating and expanding, even suppressing the flames on the giant beast’s body, and the rising steam disappeared as well.
"Did... did it work?"
Witnessing this scene, with discomfort from the rain, Othella softly muttered to herself, holding the divine God Sacrificial Branch over her head.
Mesa, Yuri, and Sina, the three Fire Spirits, peeked out from the shoulders of the beast-eared maiden, similarly looking nervously in Zoe’s direction.
Meimei raised her hand, lessening the raindrops over their heads.
Zoe remained silent, only closing her eyes tightly, invoking that inherent ability within her.
Need to go... deeper...
On the surface, where the Star Soul would usually respond, was now a scene of crimson and blood. The young girl gritted her teeth harder, delving deeper, experiencing a sense as if resisting buoyancy while diving, eventually encountering something new ahead.
It was a series of bands filled with Profound Runes, intricately crisscrossing, trapping clusters of brilliant starlight within.
They are the Creation Formula—whispered as if someone was speaking to the young girl by her ear.
Zoe hesitated for a brief moment.
But that kind and caring elder sister who got along with the young girls in the Star Soul Greenhouse, the Hedaya who cried and mourned for them, she didn’t want such a Star Soul to vanish in this sky just like that.
She dashed forward, slipping through the gaps in the bands into the inner starlight.
Within the starlight, however, was a scorching red earth.
Where is this?
Zoe hadn’t expected to see a scene seemingly from the real world.
Have I been transported to the surface of Lupus Island by the Light of the Star Soul?
In the sky floated orange-red fire clouds, with heat permeating the earth, and lava flowing everywhere. However, between the mountains not touched by magma, many steam-filled hot springs gushed forth.
At the foot of the mountain, in the land scorched by flames, life was reviving once more—perhaps tiny sprouts or clever little animals.
It resembled Lupus, yet it was not.
Having traveled to many places with Li Ang, Zoe understood the vastness of the world and realized that things appearing similar are not necessarily the same.
Thinking of him, the young girl’s thoughts raced, and she began to run across the earth.
At the horizon’s end, she saw this flame-shrouded world revealing the dawn, yet it was not a natural blessing or a grace of a Divine Spirit, but something created by certain individuals.
Bands of rune lights descended from the sky, and above the firmament, those enveloped in light rode chariots seemingly made of stratiform clouds, holding long whips.
As they swung the whip, the bands of light tugged at the runes, imprinting them circle after circle onto the earth.
The long whip was both a mimicry of God’s admonition and a tool of control.
The power of the runes circulated, separating something originally part of this world and a fragment of a great Spirit, bringing it forth independently.
Born from this searing earth, the great life awakened, much like the birth of ordinary creatures, gazing upon this world with confusion and wonder.
Yet it was mightier and more fortunate.
But just before this newborn Spirit uttered its first cry, its form, mode of living, and subservience to specific directives had already been inscribed with the bands of rune lights.
The expansive heated earth and volcano, through the Creation Equation, transformed into a majestic giant bull.
Zoe heard the people in the clouds speaking.
"What form do you need this one to take?"
"My escort doesn’t have anyone from the Horned Race yet, so let it transform into that."
"And the name?"
"Let’s not pick from the Otherworld Ancient Stele this time; just use a name I heard from an ancient story, the name of the Power God’s Consort."
"Ha, quite the refined taste."
Under the crafting of the Creation Formula, the Divine Bull transformed into a woman according to the will of those in the clouds, who knelt to pay respects.
The existence of the new life held the meaning of loyalty to the existence among the clouds.
Zoe realized suddenly, this was the birth of Hedaya!
She had penetrated deep into the heart of the Molten Mountain Star Soul, and as such, its memories were unfolding for her.
After its birth in an era so ancient that it was unknown, Hedaya, according to their will, began its conquest.
Those daring to refuse the blessing of the Celestial God, the Star Soul represented their wrath, serving as a sharp blade to obliterate all enemies.
