Ji Jiayu tilted his head to look. It was Nie Lanxi!

When Ji Jiayu saw Nie Lanxi, a steady stream of divine power was transmitted into his body through Nie Lanxi's palm.

This divine power was peaceful, unlike the one he had previously inspired.

Under Ji Jiayu's gaze, Nie Lanxi's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Stop, you don't have to do this." Ji Jiayu immediately shrank his shoulders and tried to break free from Nie Lanxi's hand, but Nie Lanxi's hand was like an iron clamp, clamping his shoulders and immobilizing him.

"If you have time to argue with me, you'd better hurry up and finish the Split Sacred Beast," Nie Lanxi said.

Ji Jiayu stared into Nie Lanxi's golden eyes without any fluctuations, his emotions extremely complicated: "I really don't need it."

Nie Lanxi remained unmoved.

Ji Jiayu could only sigh lightly, injecting the divine power Nie Lanxi had transmitted into his divine circuit. The divine power of Zhongzheng Peace repaired its sacred circuit and finally merged into the Sacred Radiance Ball.

The beam of light that had shown everyone before reappeared, lifting their spirits, but also making them even more uneasy.

Because they saw that Nie Lanxi was also fighting to the death.

At this moment, everyone in Qiming City was faced with a life-and-death choice. "Rush!"

People shouted and rushed towards the Rift Holy Beast.

In the Qiming Hall, Luo Ying, who sensed everything happening in the outside world through her spiritual power, had a somewhat complicated expression. Although she thought that humanity had destroyed the purity of the light race and disliked humanity, she did not underestimate humanity in her heart. This time, hundreds of thousands of people collectively awakened and attacked the Split Holy Beast, which made her admire her to some extent.

Across from Luo Ying, the head priest of Qiming looked solemn, and he no longer had to look at Luo Ying.

His heart bled for this city and for the great people of this city. He prayed for them in his heart, even though he knew that the final outcome of Enlightenment City would not change.

High Priest Qiming closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes filled with hatred for Luo Ying. In the blink of an eye, another half hour had passed.

Ji Jiayu had used up the last of his Yuan Wen, his body weak, his hair gray, and he was as weak as a dying man. Nie Lanxi was also nearly exhausted, with only the last sliver of strength left to protect himself and Ji Jiayu.

They fell from heaven to earth.

Ding Lu and Ye Zihang, who had noticed them earlier, came to their side almost simultaneously and firmly protected them.

The humans nearby also gathered around.

This suddenly made Ding Lu and Ye Zihang nervous, but Ji Jiayu said weakly, "It's okay. If someone nearby has ill intentions towards me, I can sense it."

Ding Lu and Ye Zihang breathed a sigh of relief.

Many humans gathered to protect Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi, fearing that members of the Light Supremacy Sect would suddenly appear and sneak attack them. Furthermore, many members of the Guangming clan still hated Ji Jiayu. Despite the current critical situation, it was inevitable that some of the Guangming clansmen with broken minds would harbor malicious intent.

"Thank you, everyone." Ji Jiayu looked around and smiled weakly. "We should thank you!"

"You really didn't have to do this."

"You've made us feel bad like this, and I haven't had a chance to repay you."

"But I still want to ask, is there really no way at all? That's the sacred pearl!" Ji Jiayu sighed lightly, "No."

If there was, Ji Jiayu would definitely not hesitate to try. "Then let's do our best!"

The nearby humans and light races completely abandoned all false hopes and began to trade their lives for damage to the Split Sacred Beast.

There was a human who ignited his entire body's divine power, casting a sacred technique that exceeded his own cultivation, causing his divine circuit to collapse and die.

There was a mixed-blood child who broke through in battle and became a seventh-level Ming Sheng. He constructed a sacred portal with a sacred cornerstone, and without having time to learn a seventh-level sacred technique, he directly used the sacred portal to strike a split sacred beast, resulting in its bones being shattered.

There was a member of the Light Clan who ignited his own element, activating the sacred patterns around his body, and struck a split sacred beast like a falling sun.

All this wasn't enough.

Seeing this scene, Ji Jiayu's eyes reddened.

Everyone was in despair, and he could only sit here and do nothing. This made his breathing rapid and his heart beat faster.

He mobilized his spiritual power to touch the Holy Radiance Orb, summoning it in front of him, and stared at it with his eyes, as if he could find the way by looking at it.

Nie Lanxi also saw the Holy Pearl.

The people protecting Ji Jiayu from all directions looked at the Holy Pearl. Suddenly, the Holy Pearl moved.

Ji Jiayu's pupils shrank slightly. He wasn't controlling the Sacred Pearl; it was moving on its own.

As it moved, the remaining voters throughout Qiming City felt a warm current emerge from their bodies.

Soon, they saw the warm current, which was a thin, hair-like line of pale gold. It shot out from their right fingertips and floated into the sky. In just ten seconds, the entire sky was covered with it. Then, they gathered into a river, winding toward Ji Jiayu.

Specifically, it was the sacred pearl in front of him.

The entire city, whether human, light race, or mixed race, all stared at the golden river at this moment, watching where it flowed.

They realized that something big was about to happen.

In the Qiming lobby, Luo Ying frowned. Through the heavy walls and ruins of the city, she "saw" the scene of the golden river flowing toward the Sacred Pearl, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

As a high-ranking member of the Sacred Sect, a Moon God-level powerhouse, although he hadn't participated in the Holy Light Plan or the Selector Plan, he knew some things. For example, the conditions for selecting the person in charge of the Holy Light Pearl were extremely stringent, and possessing various positive and outstanding qualities was one of them.

Most people in Qiming City had been assessed by the Selectors, and no matter how poor they were, they were compatible with the Holy Radiance Pearl. The degree of compatibility was initially determined by the amount of special energy belonging to the Holy Radiance Orb in the Selector's body. This special energy normally lurked within the Selector, but at this moment, under the active summoning of the Holy Radiance Orb, it all gathered from the Selector's body towards him.

This was an immense power.

Under the influence of this golden river, the Holy Radiance Pearl began to buzz and vibrate, releasing fine golden light particles, which fell in front of Ji Jiayu and condensed into a cube.

The golden river grew wider, and the golden light particles became more and more numerous, and finally, the cube revealed its true form.

It seemed to be a door.

This golden gate wasn't tall, but it gave one a feeling of immovability like a mountain. It stood there, behind it a boundless expanse of gold.

The moment this door appeared, the entire world was covered in a faint golden hue, and all darkness and shadows were illuminated, even things that were originally invisible to everyone.

Upon seeing these things, everyone's eyes widened, their mouths gaped open, and they almost forgot to breathe.
