The real world's major overturning scene was unknown to Qin.
At this moment, he had already fallen into the gentle embrace of Lesser Lord Kusanali, fast asleep.
...
"This is Lesser Lord Kusanali's dream?"
Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, gazing at this unfamiliar world.
But his expression gradually turned grim.
It was completely different from the serene forest he had first seen Lesser Lord Kusanali in.
Here, the sky was filled with an ominous darkness, churning and distorted.
A cold, uneasy feeling spread, slithering through his body like a venomous snake.
"What exactly happened here?"
Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly.
Lesser Lord Kusanali was clearly a benevolent deity, but this place...
"The world... has forgotten me..."
Chaos, pain, madness.
All sorts of unimaginable negative emotions, like whispers by his ear, pierced the depths of his soul.
Simultaneously, the world surged with blackness, about to consume Qin Yu.
"Where are you!"
Qin Yu shouted to Lesser Lord Kusanali, while backing away from the encroaching darkness.
His intuition told him that if he was engulfed, it would be over!
"I'm sorry... for letting you see me like this."
"Surprised, aren't you? The God of Wisdom who can't maintain her self."
"Heh... how laughable..."
Lesser Lord Kusanali's weak voice trembled as she spoke.
As she said this, she shared some of her knowledge.
Qin Yu finally understood everything.
"How could this be...!"
He shook his head, his face etched with pity.
It turned out that Lesser Lord Kusanali's divine body had long since perished, leaving only her soul.
And the struggle against the forbidden knowledge that corrupted the World Tree meant endless suffering.
Five hundred years had already passed...
This gentle goddess had been trapped here all along, only choosing to confide in someone today.
"It's alright, Qin Yu."
"Now that you're here, end all of this for me."
"Together with our child..."
Lesser Lord Kusanali's voice rang out again, as if offering comfort.
As soon as she spoke, Qin Yu was startled and instinctively turned his head.
Thump.
A white-haired loli hugged his waist, nuzzling her little face against him.
"Brother Qin Yu."
Nahida looked up, her slightly joyful expression tinged with worry and anticipation.
My Sun, please save Lesser Lord Kusanali.
This sentence almost escaped her lips.
But Nahida bit her lip and held back.
She didn't want to see her only Sun put himself in danger.
"Nahida."
Qin Yu ruffled her head, his gaze gentle.
He reached out and picked her up.
"It's dangerous here, I'll take you to find your mother."
"Then we'll leave here together, alright?"
Nahida gazed at Qin Yu, his expression earnest, her eyelashes trembling.
My Sun, you're so cunning.
Such tender words...
How could she refuse?
"But... it's very dangerous, Nahida can't help."
She hugged Qin Yu's neck, her voice barely audible.
The Sun's warmth was still reassuring.
Nahida desperately wanted to contribute.
But her true form was restricted by the Akademiya, making her powers difficult to wield.
So unwilling...
Boom!
The world around them began to churn with darkness.
Boundless malice set its sights on Nahida, who shared the same origin as Lesser Lord Kusanali.
Qin Yu smiled upon hearing this.
"You know where Mom is, right?"
"Mhm."
Nahida pointed in a direction.
"Then why do you say you can't help?"
Qin Yu smiled, his tone feigning dissatisfaction.
Little angels should be happy, wearing smiles.
As for the remaining troubles, he would handle them.
After all...
"Just like your mother, I have also mastered divine powers."
His casually spoken words sounded like he was discussing a trivial matter.
But in other words...
Qin Yu was now a man with one foot already in the realm of gods.
Crack--!
In the chaotic world, a magnificent thunderclap resounded.
"Brother Qin Yu, you're so amazing..."
Nahida blinked her bright, shimmering eyes, hugging Qin Yu tighter.
Such powerful Electro energy.
It was more effortless than when he had used Lesser Lord Kusanali's power on the sea.
Was it because of the Electro Archon's originalalbeit heart?
"..."
Qin Yu extended his hand, and purple lightning surged around him.
Boom!
Amidst the booming sounds, the darkness was directly torn apart, revealing a dilapidated passage.
The end of the path led to the World Tree.
Qin Yu chuckled, "That's it?"
Under the lightning, evil receded.
This was the partial divine power he had touched upon after absorbing the Electro Archon's originalalbeit heart.
His abilities in the real world could also be reflected in dreams.
But clearly, his abilities were not limited to this...
Faint, melodious singing echoed.
"Singing?"
Qin Yu blinked, somewhat surprised.
Having encountered divine powers multiple times, his perspective was already vastly different.
This intangible power that cut through the chaotic will was also a divine power.
He recalled the pure white auditorium, the memory of playing music with an angel-like maiden.
This time, it was Collei who was helping him.
Could her identity also be related to a deity?
"Huu... focus."
Qin Yu cast aside his doubts; now was not the time for contemplation.
With the assistance of two divine powers, he possessed absolute confidence.
Lesser Lord Kusanali, my wife, I will definitely rescue you!
You wouldn't want to see your daughter suffer, would you?
"Brother Qin Yu, I want to help too."
Emerald green energy flowed into Qin Yu, it was the pure life energy left by Lesser Lord Kusanali.
The Nahida-brand power bank was back online.
"Thanks, Nahida."
In Qin Yu's eyes, three beams of light merged.
He now possessed the power of three divine abilities! httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Wait for me."
Qin Yu murmured, transforming into a storm and rushing forward.
Various Anemo talents were used in conjunction, directly ignoring the terrain.
Crossing mountains and traversing ridges?
They didn't exist for the happy wind-wielder.
"Qin Yu... why are you..."
Lesser Lord Kusanali's voice rang out, filled with surprise.
She had been observing Qin Yu all along.
She had been worried...
But now, seeing the chaotic darkness dissipate wherever Qin Yu passed, finding no match for him.
This was an absolute crushing of power.
Did the aloof Electro Archon secretly give Qin Yu special tutoring?
"Rumble!"
But there was not much time for Lesser Lord Kusanali to react.
With a deafening roar.
Guided by Nahida, Qin Yu stepped through the shattered, dark sky and arrived directly before her.
"Mrs. Lesser Lord Kusanali!"
"Ching——"
Several lightning strikes were unleashed, directly shattering the seals of darkness.
Lesser Lord Kusanali's body went limp, about to collapse to the ground.
Qin Yu reached out and embraced her waist, pulling the gentle, water-like beauty into his arms.
Now, he was on her left and right.
This mother and daughter finally met.
"Mom, I finally saved you!"
Nahida exclaimed joyfully.
She channeled her life energy into Lesser Lord Kusanali.
"Yes, we made it in time."
Qin Yu looked at Lesser Lord Kusanali nestled in his arms, a sigh of relief escaping him.
The darkness of the World Tree had dissipated, it was over.
"Qin Yu... you've come."
"What a warm feeling."
In his embrace, Lesser Lord Kusanali stirred, slowly lifting her face.
She was still as devastatingly beautiful and gentle as ever.
But...
In Qin Yu's shrinking pupils, he saw something different.
It was Lesser Lord Kusanali's gradually delighted, almost pathological smile.
Finally, she would be free.
"Here, 'kill' me."
"My Sun..."
