"What conspiracy do you have?! Why are you allowing her to increase her strength? Do you know her purpose in gaining power is to deal with the Divine Spirit Realm?" Dream Jia asked seriously. She noticed Elina not only attempting to approach their protective shield but also blocking their path towards the central hall.

"Hmph, even though my strength has greatly increased, Dream Lord's hunting bullets would still pose a considerable threat to me, wouldn't they?" Elina faced the dark, hollow barrel of the gun and spoke.

Then, Elina subconsciously rubbed her left shoulder and, with a tone full of resentment, said to Hao Yun, "But compared to Dream Lord's hunting bullets, I am more afraid of Hao Lord's dagger. Hmph, you really hurt me badly! However, it seems that with your current physical condition, you probably can't launch such a fierce attack again using the Mold Spirit energy, right?"

"Hmph! How would you know if you don't try? Can you be sure I won't hurt you again? Or are you just going to stand there and face my attack head-on?" Hao Yun used provocation.

Elina sneered, "Hmph. Hao Lord, you're really stubborn like a dead duck! Don't forget, my power still lingers in your body! Although these powers are forcibly sealed within you, at such a close distance, I can still vaguely sense your physical condition through them. So, even if I drop all defenses, you may not be able to hurt me at all."

Then, Elina's tone changed, "However, based on past lessons, I shouldn't be overly confident. After all, unexpected things happen! Therefore, it might be best and safest to use the Mold Spirit energy sealed within you effectively to deal with you."

"What do you intend to do? Do you want to forcibly control me using this Mold Spirit energy?" Elina's words made Hao Yun visibly uncomfortable. At the same time, Hao Yun immediately raised the defense level of his Mold Spirit energy pursuit system as much as possible and ordered the system to monitor his own condition at all times. Once any abnormalities were detected in the Mold Spirit energy imprisoned within him, he would immediately direct this energy towards the Yin Ling Realm Armor, allowing the armor to convert this part of the Mold Spirit energy into usable energy.

"Sigh! I also want to do that! But unfortunately, the divine power that forcibly sealed those Mold Spirit energies within you is too powerful. Even now, it would require considerable effort on my part to control them, especially since I have to attack you through this protective shield. Fortunately, the Mold Spirit energy sealed within you is very familiar with your current physical condition and has informed me of these details."

"In this way, I can still find a way to deal with you! However, if I do this, I will have to reluctantly abandon those Mold Spirit energies sealed within you! But luckily, the Mold Spirit energy formed here is so rich that it can compensate for the loss caused by not having the Mold Spirit energy in your body, allowing my body to grow in a more complete form. So, let those Mold Spirit energies accompany Hao Lord on his journey in peace! This is also the small price I must pay to kill you!" Elina said regretfully.

"You say Mold Spirit energy can form here? But isn't Mold Spirit energy a unique life form from the darkest space? Are you saying that Mold Spirit energy can be generated here?" Dao Lao asked with a solemn expression.

"Mold Spirit energy in the darkest space is nurtured, but the Mold Spirit energy here is manufactured. These two are completely different in nature," Elina corrected.

"Mold Spirit energy can be manufactured here? How is it made?" Dream Jia continued to ask. In her impression, only energies like bad luck that had negative attributes could be manufactured, while Mold Spirit energy was a unique species that fed on these negative energies.

After a brief thought, Elina pointed to Elsie and said, "Let me explain it to you this way. When they carry out purification tasks in this Dark Chain plane, they actually need the combined action of two powers to complete the purification, making the world originally belonging to the Dark Chain plane leap to the domain of the Divine Spirit Realm. During this period, one of the powers they need is the ancient divine power from the Divine Spirit Realm, and the other power is the unique medium synthesized here by extracting bad luck and using the Dark Chain plane, which has the affinity for Mold Spirit energy, but does not have the life characteristics of the original Mold Spirit energy. This unique Mold Spirit energy can only be used as a catalytic energy and cannot be directly transformed into a living species."

Elina licked her lips and continued, "Because these Mold Spirit energies need to meet the requirements of the purification task, they have a very high grade. This also makes them a precious energy source that can be rapidly grown by consuming excess Mold Spirit energy manufactured during purification tasks, and my strength will surely increase rapidly until I ascend to a level comparable to real miracles! No, I will even become an existence beyond miracles! Hmph!"

Elina became more and more excited as she spoke, so much so that by the end, she couldn't help but admire her hands, which were gathering powerful energy. Her overflowing enthusiastic emotions caused the energy emanating from her eyes to accelerate, and the energy vortexes swirling around her body became restless, even causing the space around her to tremble violently under the influence of the powerful energy.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

"So, tasks like purifying Earth are just a cover-up. Helping her obtain more Mold Spirit energy is your true purpose, isn't it?" Dao Lao's face darkened as he questioned Elsie, understanding now why Elina's strength had grown so rapidly. Dao Lao became even more certain that Elsie and the others must have hidden some secret purpose while carrying out purification tasks.

Elina quickly explained on behalf of Elsie, "Ah, Master Dao, there's really no need for such suspicion! Things aren't as complicated as you imagine. We really just have a simple cooperative relationship. While they can manufacture Mould Spirit energy specifically for purification tasks, it's still Mould Spirit energy, which naturally repels Divine Officials. So, even if the officials of the Divine Spirit Realm are powerful, unless they're like Lord Hao willing to sacrifice themselves to forcefully drive this Mould Spirit energy, they'll struggle to efficiently harness it."

"In such a scenario, not only are they unable to fully utilize the functionality of this Mould Spirit energy, but they also inevitably cause a lot of it to be wasted. They need to spend a great deal of effort creating more Mould Spirit energy while executing purification tasks. Consequently, their workload not only increases significantly but also severely impacts their efficiency, forcing them to purify under constant pressure."

Elina patted her chest proudly and continued, "Thus, my role becomes evident. After all, manipulating this Mould Spirit energy is a breeze for me. Moreover, due to my unique dual-cultivation physique, I still retain half of my divine power. Hence, I can serve as the perfect link between this Mould Spirit energy and divine power, ensuring a stable and smooth operation, significantly enhancing the efficiency of purification work."

"Hmph! That sounds good, but don't forget, you've gained considerable power from this!" Dao Lao reminded.

"Hehehe, of course, I've done them a big favor! If it weren't for my timely involvement in this purification task, they probably wouldn't have completed it on time. So, it's only fair for me to request a tiny bit of compensation, right? Anyway, our relationship is really straightforward; we simply mutually benefit from each other," Elina replied.

Elsie nodded in agreement, "That's right. As long as they assist us in completing the task smoothly without causing trouble, we generally welcome them to join us. Moreover, we try to satisfy their needs and offer sufficient compensation. Anyway, for the successful completion of the purification task, these rewards are trivial."

Dream Jia looked surprised at Elsie's statement, "Trivial? She betrayed the traitor of the 13th District of the Divine Spirit Realm for the power of Mould Spirit energy! She's an important fugitive in the Divine Spirit Realm! Instead of helping us capture her, you're providing her with conditions to enhance her strength and allowing her to further grow. Do you realize that your actions not only seriously violate the regulations of the Divine Spirit Realm but also pose a significant danger to the entire Divine Spirit Realm?!"

Even faced with Dream Jia's severe accusation, Elsie remained nonchalant, "For us, as long as her current actions aid us in completing the purification task, that's enough. As for her other issues, you can resolve your disputes with her after our task is completed. By then, we won't interfere at all. After all, those are matters of your surface system, not concerning our underground system. Of course, first you have to survive until our task is completed."

Seeing Elsie's tone suddenly turn cold, Dao Lao asked cautiously, "Oh? What do you mean by that?"

"It's simple. Since you're unwilling to accept our proposal, naturally, we can't let you leave here alive. Because the matters of our underground system absolutely cannot be known to the outside world. Moreover, you have already nurtured a rebellious intention among the officials," Elsie replied, simultaneously signaling to Elina.

Understanding Elsie's words, Elina immediately burst forth with immense energy. This energy dispersed and continuously struck the walls around the hall. Soon, faint purple energy seeped from the cracks in the walls. This purple energy tightly locked Elina's released energy and formed a layer of magical energy around the hall, enveloping the entire hall inside an energy shield.

Soon after, Hao Yun received a message from the Mould Spirit Energy Pursuit System — Mould Spirit Energy supply insufficient, Subterra Spirit World Battle Armor about to cease energy absorption operations. Hao Yun immediately realized Elina's intention: using this magical energy-wrapped shield to counterattack the energy shield she had created around Hao Yun and isolate the hall and the Mould Spirit Energy outside. As a result, Hao Yun's Subterra Spirit World Battle Armor not only could no longer use Mould Spirit Energy within the base to supplement energy, but also lost its longer-lasting stamina. Moreover, the defense strength of the protective shield was weakened to some extent.

But the subsequent negative factors were not limited to this. Just after Elina's energy shield was formed, the magical energy attached to the wall gathered into several purplish-black energy conductive chains, simultaneously shooting from multiple directions towards Elina's body to connect Elina and this magical energy-wrapped energy shield together. Seeing this, Hao Yun and the others immediately understood that Elina's purpose in this move was to isolate the hall from the Mould Spirit Energy while ensuring she could continue to absorb the Mould Spirit Energy outside the hall through these energy conductive chains, providing her with sustainable yet sufficient power to deal with the energy shield they had set up for her.

Watching the gradually forming energy shield, Elsie sighed with relief, "Well! You've finally set up the isolation layer. If this continues to be a stalemate, I won't have anything to talk about!"

"Hmph! Don't you want to be quick? Isn't it because your base's divine power shelter is too strong that I have to brew enough time to hold up such an isolation array?" Elina said unceremoniously and made a gesture of making the cleanser, which would the.
