A sliver of cool breeze blew from the gap of the tightly shut grand doors, making her skirt flutter. It was eerie and mysterious!
Her divine sense couldn't detect any abnormalities, and even her power was suppressed. She could only cautiously push the grand doors. The icy touch instantly sent a chill down her spine!
A completely unfamiliar scene appeared in her mind...
The sacred and radiant golden doors swung open completely. "She" stood at the entrance, watching the faces of everyone within, dressed in pure white robes, faces she had never seen before, slowly coming into focus! At this moment, they were bowing slightly towards her, their demeanor respectful and solemn!
Suddenly, her consciousness snapped back. Jin Bao'er's expression darkened, and she quickly withdrew her finger. Her thin lips pressed tightly together as she stared blankly at the doors before her...
In that moment, she felt an unreal sensation, as if her soul was about to be ripped from her body! It was as if her soul would be absorbed at any second.
Why would she see this scene? Could she really be the reincarnation of the Mother God? If so, how could a supreme deity of the universe have fallen to such a state? What had truly happened to the God Race in the past?
Having come this far, she felt a slight daze. When the truth surfaced, would she still be herself? What responsibilities and sacrifices would she face?
Meanwhile, outside, everyone waited with fervent anticipation, their eyes fixed, afraid to miss the spectacle of the divine temple's revival!
After a moment, Jin Bao'er finally moved...
Her slender fingers touched the grand doors again, and then she pushed with all her might!
The gap widened, and a blinding sacred radiance erupted instantly. A powerful current of air cascaded downwards, rushing outwards!
The woman at the entrance, her gauzy sleeves billowing, her dark hair whipped wildly, did not hesitate to continue pushing the doors open!
At the same moment, the pale white light circle outside the entire divine temple flared brilliantly. The two golden coils wrapped around the outside of the light circle also seemed to be activated by some force, spinning rapidly...
A powerful torrent of energy surged towards the highest reaches of the universe. An inexplicable, mighty pressure swept across, and the sky was suddenly filled with bursting rays of light that spread outwards. The pale white light circle was forcefully dispersed by the divine radiance, and the seal that had surrounded the divine temple for years was utterly annihilated!
The light remained intensely blinding. Everyone instinctively closed their eyes. Under this overwhelming pressure, all divine sense became useless!
The divine temple... the supreme place in the universe! A place that none but the God Race could ever set foot in!
Anyone who approached would be intimidated by the God Race's power! Where the divine might passed, at best, one's strength would be suppressed, causing them to plummet directly into the cosmic void; at worst, one would bleed from all seven orifices on the spot, becoming deafened and blinded!
In the dark expanse of the universe, everyone was forced back several yards, unwilling to stand their ground!
In the blink of an eye, a large area was cleared around them!
Only four figures stood tall and unwavering, showing no signs of being affected...
The cold-faced envoy's expression turned to astonishment, disbelief etched on his face! After realizing what was happening, his eyes became even deeper and more sinister! His face turned ashen! The other two envoys behind him were the same. They opened their mouths as if to speak but were met with a cold glare from the cold-faced envoy, forcing them to fall silent.
The man in black, radiating an aura of frigid coolness, stood tall and straight. His violet eyes gazed directly forward, unblinking! He allowed the surging divine aura to wash over him, his black robe fluttering aimlessly... as if that power meant nothing!
Indeed, he could control the power of rules with a mere flick of his wrist to crush the God Race, his strength comparable to that of true deities! Why would he fear the aura of the God Race?
But at this moment, the cold-faced envoy's thoughts were far more complex. His gaze lowered, and as he pondered something, his body gradually stiffened...
On the other side, Jin Bao'er had finally opened the doors. As the light gradually subsided, a greyish-white, exquisite grand hall appeared before her. The spacious hall was supported by several thick celestial pillars, leading to a semicircular staircase at the far end...
The scene before her sent a shock through her, a mixture of awe and inexplicable emotion.
Looking up, the exquisite and grand white and gold wide seat was of a peculiar shape, yet it radiated an oppressive aura, inspiring both fear and nervousness! The surroundings were carved with various intricate patterns, detailed and complex, giving the entire structure an exceptionally majestic and noble appearance.
As she fully opened the doors on one side, the entire hall began to glow. The floor, made of smooth spiritual energy jade stones, was slowly shedding its greyish-white hue, returning to its original lustrous color, faintly exuding a sacred radiance. Wisps of pale spiritual energy mist emanated from it...
Instantly, the entire hall became ethereal and supremely pure!
Her eyes widened in amazement as she took it all in, yet she sensed no danger. Her gaze then followed the towering divine throne upwards...
Her pupils contracted abruptly, her expression turning solemn, and her body tensed. A faint pink light emanated from her, and an intense sense of being watched surged into her heart. Almost instinctively, she wanted to flee...
At the very top of the resplendent divine temple, rows of men and women were packed closely together! They formed a bizarre spiral pattern. All the deities had their eyes closed, their hands in mudras, their postures peculiar!
Yet, even though she could clearly see that none of them had their eyes open, the overwhelming feeling of being stared at by countless eyes grew stronger and stronger!
She frowned, her face turning slightly pale. Just as she turned to leave without hesitation, a powerful suction force suddenly pulled her body inwards! Her eyes widened, and she raised her hand to unleash a rule of power, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, vanishing instantly...
"Bang!"
Before she could recover from this shock, the doors slammed shut with a thunderous noise! They sealed shut, and the suction disappeared. Even with all her strength, she couldn't budge them even a bit.
However, her entire observation of the divine temple's condition had only taken a few seconds...
She was trapped!
At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, and her expression turned extremely grim. She recalled the words of the divine temple envoy and those deep eyes...
The other party clearly knew what would happen! The Saintess was not only meant to push open the divine temple doors but also to be trapped inside and stripped of her power...
Moreover, the doors had opened, but the slumbering deities had not awakened at all!
So, what was the purpose of the other party's strenuous efforts to get her inside...?
Suddenly, that feeling of being watched by countless eyes intensified, making her freeze in place! Her mind immediately grasped at a thought. Her pupils constricted, and she stiffened, slowly turning her body.
Her dark eyes met the countless golden eyes at the apex of the divine temple... her body trembled violently!
Gold! The symbol of the God Race's noble status!
It was also the same eye color as the Mother God...
At this moment, an overwhelming sense of suffocation washed over her. She desperately wanted to escape, but her reason made it clear that there was nowhere to go! She could only brace herself and look upwards! Her entire being on high alert!
"Jin! Bao! Er..."
A loud, piercing voice echoed, grand and resonant! It reverberated far and wide! Her face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stand. Her body instantly wracked with agonizing pain!
