It seemed that Guardian Uryll and the Mother of Decay were indeed furious; otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to Elina's hand, causing such chaos for the Balance Envoy. Despite this, from the words of the Boundary Spirit, it was clear that the Balance Envoy still maintained a rather arrogant attitude in seeking help. It seemed to her that having Hǎo Yùn and the others help eliminate Elina was simply a matter of course. Hmph! This Balance Envoy was truly fearless even when facing danger! If it weren't for protecting innocent lives in the Divine Spirit Realm, I'd wholeheartedly cheer Elina on! Hǎo Yùn cursed silently in his heart.

However, despite his thousand grievances against the Balance Envoy, there were still things that needed to be done. So Dream Jia stepped forward and retorted, "Hmph! Didn't you just say we were unwelcome intruders and wanted to eliminate us immediately? If so, how do you have the face to come seek our help now?"

The Boundary Spirit coughed awkwardly, "Ahem! I don't deny my thoughts at that time. Because I sensed an unusually dangerous power from you. However, after Elina appeared, I quickly realized that the power emanating from the three of you, although dangerous, happened to be suitable for dealing with Elina. So I instantly understood that everything was as I expected. Besides wanting to find a way to vent their dissatisfaction, they sincerely do not want me to suffer too much harm. And the way to avoid me suffering too much harm lies with the three of you. As long as you intervene, Elina's illusions will be shattered."

Hǎo Yùn raised his eyebrows curiously and asked, "Oh? You said there's a dangerous power within us? What kind of terrifying power is this?"

"It's a power that I find extremely dangerous, but I can't see its true form. However, one thing is certain: this power within the three of you is a certain kind of powerful force innate and yet to be fully explored. Especially you, Hǎo Yùn. The power hidden within you seems to be the strongest. If this power can be activated, your potential will be fully unleashed, making you an extremely dangerous entity. Well, at least that's how I see it. By then, you may even be more dangerous than Elina." The Boundary Spirit answered bluntly.

Hǎo Yùn, upon hearing this, couldn't help but look down at his hands, as if trying to capture the powerful and dangerous force mentioned by the Boundary Spirit through his own hands. However, he obviously found nothing. So Hǎo Yùn forcibly suppressed his emotions and tried to explore the powerful force hidden within himself through his mental power. However, in the end, he gained nothing.

After Hǎo Yùn finished his self-examination, the Boundary Spirit continued in a calm tone, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the hidden power within you three has become unstable must be the doing of those two. I don't understand why they did this. But I am very clear that their actions were not solely to guide you to acquire the strength to defeat Elina and help me resolve this crisis. Hmph! Although they are completely obedient to me, they are obviously not compassionate people."

Hǎo Yùn also said with a tone full of doubt, "Honestly, they did indicate that the three of us could deal with Elina. But from start to finish, they never told us or hinted at how we should do it. Even if there is some special power within us that can confront Elina, we don't know how to use it. So, I also find their behavior suspicious."

Dream Jia continued, "Exactly. You should be more aware than anyone else of our situation after we left the Divine Spirit Realm. With just our combat power, how can we deal with Elina, who even gave you so much trouble? Otherwise, wouldn't you be tired? Help us figure out how to activate the power within us. Then we'll have a chance to get out of this predicament, right?"

The Boundary Spirit shook her head and said, "I only sense the presence of a force within you. As for how to activate it— even if I knew, I probably wouldn't act rashly like that. Because in my opinion, that would also be an extremely dangerous move."

Seeing the Boundary Spirit's dilemma, Hǎo Yùn couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Heh! Look at everyone, how ridiculous this Balance Envoy is! She's like someone who wants to drink milk but doesn't want to feed the cow. She only thinks about having others sacrifice for her, yet she's always vigilant and hostile towards those who help her, while expecting others to assist her wholeheartedly. Where in the world does such a good thing exist?! This Balance Envoy is indeed selfish enough! No wonder she's fallen into such a precarious situation today!

"Uh, they have reminded us more than once that everything depends on our choice. I wonder if this warning applies to you as well?" Dao Lao spoke up. Since the Boundary Spirit was a clone of the Balance Envoy, Dao Lao maintained sufficient courtesy while conversing with her. But having seen through the Balance Envoy's calculations, Dao Lao finally couldn't help but add a hint of sarcasm to his words.

"That's right, everything depends on our choice. Although we're not sure how to deal with Elina, we still hope to uphold true moral justice and help the Divine Spirit Realm to resolve this crisis to the best of our ability. That's why we took the risk of returning to the Divine Spirit Realm." Hǎo Yùn reminded. When he mentioned "true moral justice," Hǎo Yùn deliberately emphasized it to directly criticize the Balance Envoy and the Divine Spirit Realm, which had always been cloaked in absolute sacred moral and justice principles while secretly engaging in various despicable acts.

Now that the conversation had reached this point, Hǎo Yùn no longer hesitated but continued, "Of course, the reason why we took the risk to return to the Divine Spirit Realm is not just to deal with Elina. Besides that, we also want to do our best to save my two Earth worlds, to prevent them from the disaster brought by purification. Therefore, unless you promise me to prevent the destruction of Earth in the N38 spacetime line and Earth NX, and prevent the civilizations in these two Earth worlds from being destroyed, otherwise I will never choose to continue helping you deal with Elina."

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“Oh? Are you threatening me?” The Guardian Uryll asked in a tone of realization.

"Ha! Threatening? Do I need to threaten you? I just feel that one of those Earth worlds is where I was born and raised, and the other is a place I swore to save with all my might. So, morally and logically, I cannot stand by and watch them face destruction. I'm not a person of grand ambitions, nor do I view things from a higher perspective or a broader scale. As an ordinary mortal, all I know is if my Earth worlds are destroyed, this world loses its meaning to me." Hao Yun said firmly.

The Guardian Uryll listened carefully to Hao Yun's explanation, then gazed at him with a profound face filled with galactic star maps for a while before speaking, "Firstly, it wasn't us who led your Earth worlds to destruction, but her repeated mistakes that led her step by step towards destruction. We only ensure that she can continue to contribute to the Divine Spirit Realm in the final stages of her life."

"Secondly, even if the beings there die, with the help of the Soul Guides, they will reincarnate and return to where they belong. Those beings will not perish with that Earth world, they will only embark on a new journey amid the destruction. These are facts you know and can witness. So, I don't think you need to be so concerned about that Earth world and the beings living there. As a former priest of the Divine Spirit Realm, no matter where you go in the future, you should have a broader perspective and view the life and death of the mortal realm from a higher angle."

Hao Yun didn't rush to refute the Guardian Uryll, but asked again, "Even if what you say is true, what about the beings killed on Earth NX by you?"

The Guardian Uryll shrugged helplessly and sighed, "Ah! Those poor folks aren't my subjects, so there's nothing I can do for them. However, during the transplantation of Earth NX, I will try my best to ensure that the civilization there does not suffer complete destruction. After all, preserving more lives as much as possible will be very useful for rebuilding Earth worlds in timeline N38."

"So, must the vast majority of life on Earth NX die in vain?" Hao Yun asked coldly.

Once again, the Guardian Uryll shrugged and replied, "There's no way around it. Sometimes, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. Just like your sister's people. To ensure the stable development of the Divine Spirit Realm, didn't your sister's people make a lot of sacrifices? I can only say that their sacrifices are worthwhile and will be remembered by me. That's also why I will do everything possible to ensure the continued growth and development of the Divine Spirit Realm. I don't want their sacrifices to be in vain, and I hope to console those lost souls with a more powerful Divine Spirit Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Hao Yun knew there was no point in arguing further with the Guardian Uryll. So he responded with a sneer, "Huh! Unfortunately, I'm just an apprentice assistant who tracks mold spirit energy. Although nominally I once belonged to the priesthood of the Divine Spirit Realm, I have always been a combination of half mortal and half divine spirit. Therefore, the part of human conscience inside me will drive me to protect the Earth world."

"Furthermore, since I have left the Divine Spirit Realm, there is no need for me to overlook the life and death cycle of the mortal realm for the benefit of the Divine Spirit Realm. My values now are very simple—to judge this world with true justice and morality. Any attempt to bring disaster to this world for personal gain will be a thorn in my eye. If there's even a one-in-ten-thousand chance, I will do my best to prevent such despicable acts from happening!"

After unabashedly accusing the Guardian Uryll face-to-face, Hao Yun suppressed his increasingly angry emotions and continued, "You use the excuse of not easily interfering with the operation of the mortal realm to refuse to help my Earth world avoid its fate of destruction, while at the same time trying every means to extract every last bit of remaining value from there and then discard it. Your ingratitude is simply shameless to the extreme! Look at the innocent beings in those two Earth worlds that you killed with your own hands. What right do you have to claim yourself as a saint who shelters the entire world in peace with absolute divine justice and supreme morality? In my eyes, you are just a hypocritical tyrant who uses a glossy appearance to hide bloody crimes, deceiving the world with sugar-coated bullets, so that you can better enslave this world and sacrifice it for your own benefit!"

Having openly confronted the Balance Ring with everything he had, Hao Yun finally suppressed his emotions and asked, "So, please give me a reason not to save my Earth world? And give me another reason why I must help you deal with Elina?"

The Guardian Uryll calmly responded, "Your ideas are very extreme and very dangerous. It's not that I can't refute you, but I don't want to argue."

Hao Yun was obviously dissatisfied with the Guardian Uryll's reply. Just as he was about to question her further, the Guardian Uryll raised her hand to signal him to calm down. She then chuckled, "Hmm... very good, very interesting! I seem to understand why they coincidentally chose you like this. However, I must say, I reserve judgment on your above questions. Of course, I also hope you won't rush to conclude my actions, but also maintain a reserved attitude towards what I do. Because your future path may be very long, why rush to say things now? Of course, the premise for you to reach that point is to make the most correct choices."

Hao Yun disliked the Guardian Uryll's seemingly cryptic responses that didn't really address anything. However, the Guardian Uryll didn't think much of it, as she believed she had made herself very clear. So, she decided to end the topic and gracefully walked a few meters away from Hao Yun and the others, then spoke again, "Very well. I promise your request to temporarily spare those two Earth worlds. However, I want to clarify that although I may spare your Earth world for now, it's only temporary. Because even if I don't include it in the purification task anymore, it will still face destruction in the near future. Its fate is sealed, and even I cannot change that fact. But you don't need to worry too much, given the current situation is very special. Therefore, I will use a special clause that I set up when creating the Divine Spirit Realm to reset the fate of your Earth world once, giving it a chance to take another path."
