It took a long time for the Snake Goddess to recover. She slowly opened her eyes as she lay weakly in Fuxi's arms.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Fuxi.
The Snake Goddess nodded and gently freed herself from his arms.
She realized that she had almost been completely lost. Her consciousness was controlled by that destructive force.
"Snake Goddess, was that the limit of your strength?" A turtle about ten feet long was crawling on the jadeite platform.
On his right side was a sloth, and on his left was a scorpion.
Gerald, Judson, and Kendrick had been hiding inside the Pear Hill. To conveniently communicate with the others, they each created an avatar.
"Well..." The Snake Goddess paused as she thought for a while. She shook her head and denied, "No."
Just now, she felt her power almost becoming limitless. It was because of this infinite destructive power that she was lost. The power seemed to give her everything.
Kendrick smiled bitterly. "It appears that I can't block your black flame."
"You are strong indeed, but this power can make you lose your mind. You'd better not use it," Fuxi suggested worriedly.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi said, "Maybe it's because we don't know much about the bloodline power. After we master the Blood-controlling Method, it will take us some time to adapt."
After he, Yasamin, and King Ieuan mastered the Blood-controlling Method, their strength also increased greatly. It might be incomparable to the Snake Goddess's or Fuxi's level, but they were almost the same.
In the Dark Haze Peak, Zen, Yan, and the others saw what happened in the sky.
"The strength of the Snake Goddess is frightening!" Lavender couldn't hide the surprise from her eyes.
Yan smiled. "The strength of the Snake Goddess has improved so much. Zen, you should make more progress, too!"
"My situation is a little special. I haven't made much progress," Zen said as he looked to the ground.
The Blood-controlling Method he cultivated was the most basic one. It could help him improve his strength, but the improvement wouldn't be as great as those of other Eternal Realm cultivators. After all, he didn't really control the ancestry-level bloodline.
While he was lost in thought, a girl walked to him. She had hair put up in pigtails, a small round face, and a pair of eyes as pure as big black gemstones. She faintly resembled Margaret.
"Father, I want a hug!" The girl requested while stretching out her arms to Zen.
Zen held the girl in his arms and lifted her above his head. She giggled.
The girl was Salome, he and Margaret's daughter. She had been in the fairy palace after being born in his inner world.
After Zen had returned from the Other Shore, he enjoyed some rare leisure days and invited all the women out of the fairy palace.
Although Salome was less than two years old, she was intelligent enough to read over a thousand words under the guidance of her mother and the others. Now she could read some simple Sanskrit words on her own.
She had the ability similar to Geoffrey's, but she was much more obedient than him.
This was only the second time Salome had seen Zen, but the two of them didn't feel estranged from each other.
After playing with Salome for a while, Zen handed her to Margaret. Only then did he catch Letitia's glance and notice her. She stood not far away with eyes filled with sadness.
Geoffrey had been in the Deleting Space for a long time, but there had been no news about him yet.
Previously, Zen tried to communicate with Ziya through the Descending Ring and failed.
Letitia grew more worried with each passing day that Geoffrey's condition remained unknown.
Zen walked towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder. Letitia looked up as she smiled tearfully. Zen held her in his arms, comforting her.
He couldn't go to the Deleting Space and he couldn't do anything to help. He felt helpless as he could only place his hope on Ziya.
