While Lilith's gift to Zhou Yi was a small surprise , Zhou Yi's return to Lilith came as a huge shock.
He gave Lilith something she never expected . This unimaginable psychological effect caused Lilith to become dizzy.
It was as unbelievable as a woman mentally preparing for a simple wedding only to discover that the man owned a villa , a sports car, a yacht, and seven or eight publicly traded companies.
Although Lilith could still feel the mark Zhou Yi had left on this half of Heaven, the governing rights and power stemming from it had been completely transferred to him. Zhou Yi was only the Master in name , while Lilith had become the de facto controller.
This situation was truly unexpected for Lilith . She even felt the story wasn't unfolding according to her own script. Could this be a conspiracy? Her inner witch was stirring something in her heart, but no matter how hard she searched, she found no trap.
Zhou Yi, without the slightest hesitation, laid everything in heaven before her. He even openly displayed the mark he had left. This behavior greatly disturbed Lilith .
".2 ∞ 3. ♦ o "What do you mean by that?" Lilith asked , clearing the confusion in her mind with a heart full of doubt .
"It's simply about giving something useful to someone in need. It doesn't really benefit me. Why not give them the warmth you have left? By the way, I want something from you too!"
Zhou Yi explained his purpose while answering Lilith's question .
Upon hearing this, Lilith immediately became cautious. Although she didn't know what Zhou Yi would ask for, it was clear he wouldn't want ordinary things since he was using something as precious as Heaven in return. Therefore, she began to ask questions cautiously.
"To sacrifice paradise for one thing. What exactly do you want?"
" I want half of Michael's soul ! "
The six-winged angel Michael is the highest- ranking angel. He is the angel on the holy side , unlike those in the intermediate ranks . Angels not only possess their own consciousness and emotions, but also their own divine rank . In Jehovah's divine system , seraphs are not fundamentally different from gods in other divine systems.
Because Jehovah's divine system is a monotheistic teaching , he can only be an angel , not a god. It's simply a matter of identity and does not affect Michael's status .
This is precisely why Michael's spirit is fundamentally different from that of other angels . Spirits .
Other angels are merely instruments of God, whereas Michael is a God without a divine name. This is why Lilith did not allow Michael's soul to be taken and reborn in the Red Sea .
He didn't possess the divine power to reshape Michael's body , nor the confidence to control him and make him completely loyal. When he was reborn, Michael would still be Michael ; with his own emotions and memories, he wouldn't transform into one of those loyal Night Demons or Light Messengers . He would simply be himself.
When Zhou Yi destroyed Michael and secretly seized his soul , Lilith never intended to transform him. She only wanted to devour him, to gain new abilities and divine power from his spirit . But now that idea was clearly impossible. Zhou Yi had already spoken , and Lilith couldn't hide Michael's soul .
Against her will , Lilith surrendered Michael's soul . The blessings of heaven were far greater than just one Michael ; a woman as intelligent as her naturally knew how to make the right choice.
"Is there a way to control him?" But even after delivering Michael's soul to Zhou Yi , Lilith couldn't shake off her initial thoughts. She wanted to find out what Zhou Yi planned to do with this soul and whether he could gain anything from it.
Although Lilith had decided to become the wife of His Majesty the Ming King , she would have to postpone it to another day unless the agreement was fulfilled . She was not a foolish woman in love; she would try every means to exploit any advantage she could gain from the current alliance until His Majesty the Ming King became her king and everything was carried out according to the agreement.
"I have no way of controlling him, nor do I need to!" Responding to Lilith's question, Zhou Yi grasped Michael's soul and, using the most primal methods , directly imbued it with divine power . The destructive divine fire flowed into the soul , easily splitting Michael's soul cluster in two.
This also meant that Michael's existence was completely annihilated . A soul is not an apple that can be arbitrarily divided. The moment Zhou Yi infused the divine fire, it essentially meant that Michael was completely destroyed. All that remained was his divine power and a shattered rank .
But that's exactly what Zhou Yi wanted. He didn't need a Michael with hidden agendas ; all he wanted was Michael's power . With that power , he could cultivate loyal servants, which was far better than having just one Michael , wasn't it?
Of course, that was just Zhou Yi's thought. Lilith, however, didn't think so. Seeing Zhou Yi's almost destructive actions, she almost instantly cried out.
"What are you doing? Don't you know this will ruin her?"
Lilith tried to stop Zhou Yi, but it was too late. Zhou Yi's movements were too fast; by the time Lilith screamed, he had already unleashed half of his divine power .
"Of course I know, and that's exactly my intention. She's just an angel , and compared to her worth, I'd rather use her as a source of nourishment to cultivate truly loyal subordinates!"
"Is that all you want to do?" Lilith asked, taking in half of her divine power, somewhat bewildered. She felt she couldn't keep up with Zhou Yi's way of thinking. Destroying a being equivalent to a high- ranking god just to train his subordinates? Would a normal god really do that?
If you swallow this Spirit , you may gain one or two new powers, or even a promotion . If you reincarnate it, you will obtain a subordinate equal to God. And such a subordinate is worth far more than these tens of thousands of Night Demons and Light Messengers.
However, Zhou Yi chose neither of these options, instead employing a method Lilith utterly despised. He destroyed the most important thing in this Soul , taking only the Divine Power and shattered Rank within . In Lilith's eyes, this was utterly akin to killing a goose that laid golden eggs for an unhatched golden egg; an utterly insane and foolish act.
How long would it take for this subordinate to develop, how long would it take for this subordinate to restore this rank and become a Michael again ? Lilith knew without thinking that it would be an absolutely disheartening number.
But no matter how angry and upset he was, his efforts were now in vain. Zhou Yi had already done his job and instantly used up that divine power .
He pulled Selina, who was standing behind him , towards him and transferred half of Michael's divine power directly into her body.
As a vampire , Selina , an anomaly only slightly more powerful than ordinary mortals , naturally lacked the ability to absorb such power. The moment Michael's immense divine power was roughly transferred into her body by Zhou Yi , she felt an unbearable pain, as if all her cells were about to explode.
Not only her cells, but even her seemingly spiritual soul felt as if it were about to explode. Every cell was boiling, every nerve was trembling, and there was an indescribable feeling in her soul . Faced with this pain, Selina , the Death Walker, completely lost her composure, opened her mouth, bared her teeth, and screamed loudly.
Unless something unexpected happened, he would be completely destroyed under the influence of this reversed divine power and couldn't withstand it. But since Zhou Yi was here, he naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"Hang in there , Selina . You'll be alright while I'm here!"
Zhou Yi, with a comforting whisper, immediately activated his Life Energy authority. He intervened in Selina's body with his more powerful Divine Power . This would naturally intensify Selina's pain , but it would also repair her body, damaged by divine power, allowing her to attune to the divine power within and no longer face any crises.
Shortly afterward, the transfer of divine power completely ceased. The rage within Selina's body was also suppressed by Zhou Yi. This should have been a good thing, but Selina didn't think so. Although only a short time had passed, it felt like several centuries to her perception.
The unbearable pain had driven him almost insane. The intense suffering, both physical and mental, had made him sweat profusely; he looked as if he were submerged in water. And the most absurd thing was that he still didn't know why he had to endure this ordeal.
He was about to ask Zhou Yi a question when he suddenly looked up and saw the anger in Lilith's eyes and the undeniable jealousy in the eyes of the former Grand Spokesperson beside her .
Remembering the conversation that had just taken place between the two gods, he immediately understood what had happened. It was as if he had been endowed with the power of a god and transformed into a being who might become a god in the future?
The thought suddenly struck Selina , making her head spin. How could this be? How could this be?
He wasn't the only one with this incredible idea; Lilith shared the same thought. She glared angrily at Zhou Yi, lowering her voice and questioning him.
"Your Majesty the Ming King, I demand an explanation. According to our agreement, I am your divine consort . Therefore, can you explain to me the meaning of everything you have just done? Is this mortal so worthy of your love that you have bestowed upon her such a great favor?"
Lilith was jealous. Not because of love; there was nothing that wonderful between them yet. She was jealous for her own self-interest. In her view, Zhou Yi's future other half was the one who could have everything he had. But what Zhou Yi was doing now was almost equivalent to openly showing favoritism to another woman in front of her. This was completely against her best interests.
And this was something Lilith absolutely could not tolerate .
