Chapter 219 : Chapter 219
Chapter 219. You Think the Divine Contract Is Yours Just Because You Started It? Sorry, I Have a Cheat!
Sea of Heart-Bewildering Flowers.
A sudden gust of wind swept countless purple petals into the air, where they circled and fell.
The faint golden light emitted by the doorway leading to the Third Checkpoint illuminated the two people lying in the sea of flowers.
The illusion shattered. Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu opened their eyes at the same time and propped up their upper bodies with their hands.
Tear stains still hung at the corners of Su Linyu’s eyes. Her gaze searched anxiously for something, and when it landed on Jiang Yichen beside her, she threw herself into his arms without caring about anything else.
“Brother Yichen, I had a nightmare. I was so scared!” Su Linyu bit her red lips and held him tightly with both hands.
Jiang Yichen’s eyes trembled, and he gently stroked her back. “It is all right. I am here.”
Su Linyu made soft sounds of agreement and leaned into his embrace without letting go, as though it was the only place that could give her warmth and a sense of safety now.
In the Sea of Heart-Bewildering Flowers, purple petals fell like rain.
Su Linyu pressed her ear against Jiang Yichen’s chest, listening to each beat of his heart.
After they embraced for quite a while, a rumbling explosion suddenly came from the faint golden doorway, breaking the quiet and warm atmosphere.
Su Linyu left Jiang Yichen’s arms, and a blush climbed onto her face. “Brother Yichen, Sister Xue’er and the others should already have gone in. We should hurry and help them too.”
She clenched her hands and lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth could not quite be suppressed.
Brother Yichen’s chest was so warm.
Jiang Yichen smiled and nodded, then took her hand. “Let us go.”
Space flickered, and the two of them disappeared from the Sea of Heart-Bewildering Flowers.
…
The Third Checkpoint of the ruins.
Boom—
An explosion rang out inside the faint golden cave abode, causing even the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade bound by chains on the central altar to tremble.
“You contracted with an ancient Greek god, yet you are willing to become slaves of Huaxia? Damn you!”
Sophia, dressed in golden battle armor, with a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right, rode a snow-white Pegasus and looked down at Mei Xue’er and the others below in a majestic posture.
Blood seeped from the corners of Mei Xue’er’s and Sleep God’s mouths. Tang Long and Chu Xingchen had already lost the ability to fight and were lying unconscious on the ground.
“A Level-Nine Preacher! You should not be here. Who let you in?”
Mei Xue’er clutched her abdomen and forced herself to stand, staring fixedly at Athena’s Divine Contract Holder.
The God-Restoration Church had dispatched four Divine Contract Holders whose strength was comparable to Martial Gods this time, and the Commander had already sent Huaxia’s Martial Gods to intercept them. How could one of them appear inside the ruins?
“Lowly Huaxia human, you are not qualified to question me.”
Sophia pointed her longsword at Mei Xue’er’s throat. “Men, capture the two of them. After we seize the Divine Contract, bring them back to the church.”
The gods they had contracted with were ancient Greek gods. This concerned the revival of two gods, so they had to be taken back to Olympus.
“Yes, Lady Sophia.”
Two Martial Emperor-level followers slowly walked toward them.
Mei Xue’er and Sleep God could not help retreating, their expressions grave.
“Minister, I will enter sleep again. Otherwise, we are all finished.” Sleep God wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Although he was not even at the Seventh-Realm Martial King level, even when he had used the Dream-Entering Stone earlier and maintained his self-awareness while entering the dream, he had still not been Sophia’s match.
The Level-Nine Preachers of the God-Restoration Church were existences whose strength was comparable to Martial Gods.
“But you already killed four followers in your dream just now. If you kill six more, Hypnos will revive!”
Worry filled Mei Xue’er’s eyes. The revival of a Foreign God would be a devastating blow to Huaxia.
Sleep God also felt helpless. He slowly closed his eyes. “Minister, if we are captured, they will still think of every possible way to make us complete the resurrection mission.”
“We might as well fight them now. Even if we die, we cannot fall into their hands.”
“You…”
Before Mei Xue’er could stop him, Sleep God had already fallen asleep again.
Seeing this, the followers who had wanted to capture the two of them stopped in their tracks, fear appearing on their faces.
Just now, after that sloppy young man fell asleep, he had directly killed four Level-Eight Followers. His strength had been so powerful that he had even exchanged more than a hundred moves with Lady Sophia.
“Lady Sophia, he has fallen asleep again.”
When Sophia heard this, the corner of her mouth curved slightly. She swept her gaze over the six followers behind her.
She raised her golden holy sword and pointed it at one of the followers. A wisp of golden holy light fell onto him.
Sophia raised her head and looked at the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade emitting faint golden light on the altar. “Go. Seize the Divine Contract of the Huaxia god.”
“Huh? But Lady Sophia, that dog…”
Before the follower could finish speaking, his body involuntarily flew onto the altar.
Beneath the altar, a small black dog saw someone intrude upon the altar. Its body immediately grew larger, transforming into a ten-meter-tall giant dog. It raised its front paw and swung it at the follower.
Xiaotian Dog had thought that with this one claw, the follower would undoubtedly die.
But the instant its paw touched the follower’s body, golden holy light flashed. The follower’s figure suddenly accelerated, and he crashed headfirst into the center of the altar.
“You damned bastard, playing dirty!”
Xiaotian Dog immediately cursed. It was just about to drag the follower out of the altar when, with a hum, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade on the altar radiated blinding golden light, illuminating the entire cave abode.
“Not good! The Divine Contract has begun!”
Xiaotian Dog’s paw was directly repelled by a faint golden light barrier, and it was stunned.
Its body shrank, and it hugged its head with its two front paws. “It is over. I messed up the task Master entrusted to me!”
After the Divine War, before his fall, Master had specifically instructed it to guard the Divine Contract Altar and choose a Divine Contract Holder, preventing those with ulterior motives from entering.
But now, the Divine Contract Altar had been activated by someone who was not a Huaxia human. Master’s great cause of revival had been ruined by its own paws.
Xiaotian Dog kept slapping the faint golden light barrier with its paws, its dog face full of anxiety.
If it had known this would happen, it would not have used that group of foreigners to test those two Huaxia humans just now. It would have been far better to give the Divine Contract directly.
It glanced at Tang Long and Chu Xingchen, who lay unconscious on the ground, and nearly wept.
The activation of the Divine Contract made Mei Xue’er’s face turn deathly pale.
If the Divine Contract Holder of the Illustrious Sage Lord was someone from the God-Restoration Church, then making Him reappear in the world would be almost impossible.
If Foreign Gods invaded Huaxia in the future, the absence of the Illustrious Sage Lord would be a major loss for Huaxia.
“No. Absolutely not.”
Mei Xue’er controlled the Power of Laws and was just about to bombard the altar’s barrier.
But in the next second, Sophia, dressed in golden battle armor and riding the Pegasus, charged straight through and sent Mei Xue’er flying.
Pfft!
Mei Xue’er rolled several times across the ground before stabilizing herself. She spat out a mouthful of blood and clenched her fists unwillingly.
“Foolish Huaxia human. Long before these ruins appeared, the great Goddess of Fate had already prophesied the method to initiate the Divine Contract.”
Confidence filled Sophia’s face. “Let your Huaxia gods sink into reincarnation. You are not worthy of living in this world.”
“Only the great gods of Olympus are the rulers of the world.”
“Oh? Do you not think you are celebrating a little too early?”
Suddenly, a voice rang out. Sophia frowned and looked toward the sound. Her pupils abruptly contracted.
The Child of Fate from the oracle!
Jiang Yichen took out the First-Mover Divine Contract and casually threw it out.
“The heavenly secret of the Divine Contract shall be mine to seize first.”
As his words fell, the Divine Contract Array on the altar suddenly paused, as though it had been interfered with by some mysterious power.
The Divine Contract Light that had originally descended upon that follower followed Jiang Yichen’s finger and fell onto Chu Xingchen, who lay unconscious on the ground.
???
At this scene, everyone was stunned.
