Chapter 679: Chapter 487: The Holy Light Goddess Doesn’t Want Qin Chu to Die (Chapter 1: 4000 words)

The Fate Goddess Moile holds the hope of Sky Dome Continent in her hands?

What exactly is this so-called hope?

Somehow, Qin Chu felt a chill run down his spine.

Instinctively, he harbored an eerie, baseless fear: what was hope for Sky Dome Continent might be despair for himself.

Qin Chu didn’t press further on this issue but casually inquired about other deities, not wanting to arouse the Holy Light Goddess’s suspicions.

Afterward, he began to inform the Holy Light Goddess about the current state of Sky Dome Continent.

Time passed second by second in idle chatter until Qin Chu’s energy was completely drained, concluding this round of his role as a human battery.

The mood of the Holy Light Little Goddess seemed somewhat subdued, no longer keeping Qin Chu as before but instead sending him away, leaving only her slender figure in the tiny cage within the vast Void.

Her bright eyes stared ahead, as if Qin Chu were still there.

She was the only Favored she had, and during their exchange, the Holy Light Little Goddess could sense more clearly that Qin Chu was desperately expanding the influence of the Holy Light Goddess in the Lower Realm.

The power of faith she absorbed this time was more than the last two times combined.

Over the years, the Holy Light Goddess had countless believers, and the Pope of the Holy Court had been replaced generation after generation, but none had achieved what Qin Chu had.

Her silver-white teeth bit into her lip, leaving no one to know what the Holy Light Goddess was pondering.

Who knows how much time had passed when the Holy Light Goddess suddenly sighed, her small body curling into a corner of the cage, crouching on the ground.

Her fair, tender arms subconsciously wrapped around her shoulders.

Perhaps it truly was the physical shrinkage that caused her personality to regress... The Holy Light Goddess at this moment was far from her usual composed and mature self.

Trapped here for a thousand years, she thought she had grown accustomed to it, but now, with Qin Chu gone and all alone, she felt an unbearable loneliness.

The sturdy cage, the serpent-like chains, and the dark Void even made the Holy Light Little Goddess feel an irrepressible fear.

In fact, since the previous conflict with the Void Seven Uglies, the Holy Light Little Goddess had absorbed energy from Qin Chu three times. Even combined, these energies were insignificant compared to the Holy Light Goddess at her peak, but it was not without effect.

The current Holy Light Goddess could barely force her body to grow a little, at least making herself look one or two years older than now wouldn’t be a problem.

However, the Holy Light Goddess had always controlled her form, choosing not to grow.

On one hand, it was to deceive the Void Seven Uglies.

On the other hand... albeit the Holy Light Goddess was reluctant to admit it, she knew she enjoyed the feeling of being held in Qin Chu’s embrace.

It wasn’t the coldness without any warmth of the Void but a shallow warmth.

In Qin Chu’s embrace, the Holy Light Little Goddess could feel a protective warmth.

Lazily leaning against him, she didn’t have to think about anything, worry about anything, let go of the fatigue in her body and soul— it was a rare relaxation.

This feeling was even laughable to the Holy Light Little Goddess herself; she was the deity who had always guarded this world, yet now she longed to be protected by another man, far weaker than herself.

Her head hung low, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

She was aware of her own thoughts.

Though on the other side of the scale were the countless lives of Sky Dome Continent, she... she didn’t want Qin Chu to die.

She didn’t want it!

After a while, the Holy Light Little Goddess sighed again, shook her head to calm her chaotic mind, and sat on the ground of the cage, beginning to digest the energy she had absorbed from Qin Chu.

As before, she first meticulously cleansed the mixed volition within the energy, until finally, she fully absorbed it into her body, completely transforming it into her own strength.

Even the Holy Light Little Goddess herself didn’t notice the light pink hue that flickered momentarily in her bright eyes.

...

Helois and Iyeta left Imperial City once again.

Getting in touch with Iyeta’s sister, Vena, wasn’t a difficult task; they reestablished a meeting place.

After all, Atreus couldn’t afford to rashly enter Imperial City if they desired information about the Hero.

Inside Imperial City, due to Qin Chu’s maneuvers, almost all infiltrating demons had been eradicated; any that might have slipped through couldn’t get close to Qin Chu to obtain valuable information.

Thereby, obtaining information through Iyeta and Helois became practically the only option.

If anything, the lack of contact from Helois and Iyeta for a period had caused Atreus some restless concern, worried that something had gone wrong.

Given that many experts surrounded Qin Chu, they even dared not use Message Magic to make contact.

It was for this reason that when Iyeta and Helois arrived at the arranged location, this time Vena didn’t hide as before but appeared in person.

Upon seeing the two familiar figures, Vena visibly relaxed.
