"It's impossible for a saint to do this." The God of Nature held Xiao Chen's arm tightly. "You actually mastered something beyond a saint in such a short moment?"
The divine power that passed through his body did not destroy Xiao Chen's body. As a "transit station" for the divine power in the parallel space, it gave him the opportunity to carefully observe the way the divine power operated, and then stepped into a mysterious state. Xiao Chen now felt that the severe pain had subsided a little, at least he could concentrate some energy on dealing with the God of Nature.
He said with difficulty: "I just... touched the threshold of super sainthood. But now it seems... enough."
The cage of the Forging Tower followed the actions of the God of Nature and trapped Xiao Chen inside. Since Xiao Chen successfully reduced the influx of divine power, the closure of the cage of the Forging Tower became much smoother.
Maya looked at the two people holding each other's arms as if they were wrestling and said, "If this continues, both of them will be trapped in the cage of the Forging Tower. Once the Forging Tower starts moving, I won't be able to stop them."
"Let me give it a try." Gawain had already completed his mission of using the crystal of the Tower of Swords, so he summoned the secret sword and attacked the arm of the God of Nature. The secret sword passed through the gap of the cage of the Tower of Forge and slashed at the arm of the God of Nature, but when it was only a dozen centimeters away from the opponent, the secret sword could no longer move forward.
The divine power that was stirring around the God of Nature blocked Gawain's attack. Gawain used all his strength to activate the secret sword, but the secret sword began to break and collapse in the violent trembling, and finally turned into fine powder. The divine power went back along the thread of Gawain's mental power that controlled the secret sword, knocking Gawain away. He landed in the far corner of the hall, spitting out blood and fainting.
Glade, who also completed the task, took out a staff and prepared to continue the attack.
Luo Ling hurriedly stopped them, saying, "No, you can't do it. Xiao Chen was able to fight against the God of Nature because he already had the ability to control a portion of the divine power. The rest of you can't do that. Maybe I'm the only one who can give it a try. After all, I've also crossed two worlds, and I've had close contact with divine power in that world."
"Tiantian, come and take my place." Luo Ling handed over the control of the Tower of Origin to Mei Tiantian and was about to run over there.
At this time, Lorenzo said, "Wait a minute, I have a solution! I have a rune that may increase your confidence. It can weaken the pain caused by the impact of divine power."
"Really?" Luo Ling stopped. If the pain was reduced, her concentration would be much higher. This was a very useful help.
"Really. Free your spirit."
"Then hurry up, there's no time!"
Lorenzo drew his hand in the air and then pressed a rune on Luo Ling's forehead.
Luo Ling felt a warm force flowing into her body. She turned around and took two steps, then felt extremely sleepy. She turned her head in astonishment and looked at Lorenzo, who had a calm expression as he watched her fall to the ground little by little, and then fell asleep on the ground.
"Lorenzo! What are you doing?" Maya shouted.
Lorenzo walked over and picked up the fallen Luo Ling, then looked up at Xiao Chen and the God of Nature in the sky and said, "There's no chance. Luo Ling would just die if she went over there, and we would lose three people."
"Then why did you knock her out?" Maya asked.
"Do you think she will be convinced by me? This moment is too hard for her, let her sleep peacefully. This is also what Xiao Chen meant." Lorenzo turned around and said, "Don't waste the opportunity Xiao Chen created for us. Soon his power will be surpassed by the God of Nature. Seal the cage immediately!"
"But..." Maya looked up at Xiao Chen. Her elven vision allowed her to clearly see Xiao Chen's expression. He was also looking at her and nodded to her.
Her eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to look at Xiao Chen. She lowered her head and continued to operate the crystal of the Forging Tower. Under her operation, the cage of the Forging Tower began to turn into a crystal clear polyhedron.
In the gradually closing cage, the God of Nature began to panic. His divine power surged wildly, and one secret sword after another popped out of his body. His strength recovered more and more, but Xiao Chen didn't know where he got the will from, and he held him tightly, and the God of Nature couldn't completely suppress him for a while.
He could clearly feel the solidity of the cage around him. Even with his current strength, it was impossible to break it in a short time. What was worse was that he noticed the flashing seal runes on the outside, which blocked any form of space teleportation. He had no way to escape.
It's not that he hadn't thought about using Xiao Chen as a bridge to go to the parallel world, but it takes time for the consciousness and divine power in his body to be transmitted. As the cage becomes tighter and tighter, the speed of transmitting divine power to the parallel world becomes slower and slower. If he barely escapes to the parallel world at this moment, what arrives there is not a god at all, but a residual soul.
In desperation, he shouted at Xiao Chen: "Don't you want to live? They are going to seal us both together."
As the cage took shape, the divine power flowing into Xiao Chen became less and less. The pain in his body was now bearable. He said, "There have been many sacrifices today. It would not be bad if I were the last one."
"But then you will have nothing. Think about how long it took you to reach your current level. Do you really want to give up all this for others? I now realize the value of people like you. Ask them to open the cage and we can have a good talk. I can give up my plan. What do you say?" The God of Nature finally changed his arrogant attitude and treated Xiao Chen as an equal opponent.
But it was too late.
"I don't believe you, Bermudo. All you are saying now is just to get out of trouble." Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "We have been together in another world for two weeks. I know what kind of person you are. Maybe in an ordinary life you can be a good husband and a good businessman. But your contempt for humans and your paranoia about nature will be infinitely magnified once you have the opportunity. I don't want there to be a 'god' above our heads that can threaten us at any time. I hope that humans can survive and develop more freely."
"How stupid. Even if I disappear from this world, will it really be a better place? You high and mighty wizards, huh, saints, great magicians, are still replacing the role of gods, but you are just many small 'gods'."
