Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"Thank you..."

"Thank you all..."

Faint voices of gratitude in various languages echoed within the hearts of every warrior, and Bai E too heard those voices reaching out from the depths of their souls...

[Your "Emotional Absorption" has absorbed a large amount of gratitude, transforming it into a significant increase of Spiritual Energy, +1055/155.]

[Souls yearning for freedom deeply bless you, and your "Spiritual Black Hole" has captured a large number of dissipating soul fragments, successfully converting them into 9520/520 Spiritual Energy that has been added to your reserves.]

Since ancient times, how many souls have suffered within "eternity"?

Fierce flames burn from the outskirts of the garden towards the deepest core, purifying the countless chaotic eggs dotted around with its sacred fire.

After the eggs break, there is rebirth.

An endless sense of fulfillment filled Bai E's Spiritual Body, with the existing "Emotional Absorption" and "Spiritual Black Hole" capturing all the "energy" they could and turning it into the purest Spiritual Energy, merging into Bai E's own will.

To maintain stability, the Spiritual Body, of course, couldn't suddenly absorb an excessively large power in its entirety.

But with an original maximum of 575 points of Spiritual Energy and an increase of 675 points in the limit, the capacity of Spiritual Energy reserves instantly broke through the 1000-point threshold.

The 1000-point threshold is the greatest division between second-tier and third-tier Spiritual Energy practitioners.

Of course, practicing Spiritual Energy has never been about quantity over quality.

There are some with strong wills but modest talents who have forcefully increased their reserves of Spiritual Energy over long periods of practice to exceed 1000 points, yet they still couldn't reach the threshold of the third tier.

However, at this moment, Bai E felt an overwhelming rush of pure Spiritual Energy forcibly squeezing into his body.

The available Spiritual Energy exceeding ten thousand points completely enveloped his Spiritual Body at that moment, with the most refined mental forces forcibly compressing Bai E's own Spiritual Energy to its limits.

It has never been recorded in history that a Spiritual Energy practitioner breaking through to the third tier in the manner that Bai E was now.

Yet under the sheer amount of pure power that belonged to Bai E and exceeded ten thousand points, his Spiritual Energy realm was almost brutally pushed to the third-tier level.

[After countless purifications of your soul, your soul has transcended sanctity. Starting now, your level of Spiritual Energy has entered a brand new realm...]

[Your Mystique +3.]

Third-tier Spiritual Energy, at one's command.

Even in the material world, third-tier Spiritual Energy practitioners can already achieve feats like flying through the skies and burrowing through the earth with just their own abilities, omnipotent.

The entire soul is unbound, no longer restrained by any rule.

The core manifestation is having significant resistance to the laws of the world.

Even against places that the world deems impossible, they can force open a path that belongs exclusively to themselves with their own strength.

Of course, there is a hierarchy in abilities.

As Spiritual Energy practitioners delve deeper into the third tier, the development of their third-tier abilities will also reach its zenith.

For Bai E, who had just stepped into this realm, he only felt a peculiar sensation.

These sensations, they come from... himself?

His own... Spiritual Black Hole?

Within the black hole, there seemed to be something... with its own volition, a little creature?

The changes in will were as quick as lightning, a mere thought and Bai E's "gaze" locked onto the "Spiritual Black Hole," which, although constantly binding his soul, was yet ethereal and showed no display in the outside world.

...

"How did so many people suddenly come in?" The Spiritual Body of Garuda still retained the traits of being an elf.

"I don't know…" The Spiritual Body of the white-haired girl Feier Ade, whose body was now controlled by Nova, skillfully maneuvered her own body and flew towards the vast numbers of Spiritual Bodies appearing in the pure white space, "Hello, I'm Feier Ade. Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

As the awareness of the souls, whose clarity was gradually fading, reached this place, they felt incredibly confused about where they had arrived. The masses of Spiritual Bodies curiously asked the white-haired girl before them, "Excuse me, where is this? What's happening to us now?"

"As for where exactly this is, I'm not really sure either, but if you go in that direction, it seems you can reach a pitch-black area that always gives me a feeling of danger, so we haven't explored it too much," Feier Ade bowed, showing plenty of apologies, "After all, I only arrived here a little earlier… than you all."

"That pitch-black area you mentioned, it is the higher-dimensional space." From among the vast number of newly appeared Spiritual Bodies, a small figure stepped out.

Once freed from the human body riddled with scars, the girl's Spiritual Body became even more flawlessly immaculate, like a piece of creamy white luminous jade from the human world.

"Glatis…"

"Lady Saint…"

The other Spiritual Bodies around the girl's Spiritual Body respectfully cleared a space around her, so that upon her appearance, she shone brightly as if surrounded by stars.

As soon as this human girl first appeared in the garden filled with rot and stench, the countless souls trapped in the chaos of limbo felt as if their battered and cracked souls finally received the first taste of refreshing dew after an eternity.

The first release from the torment, confusion, and pain filled the souls with a comforting warmth, allowing those whose mental fortitude had been strained for countless centuries to finally have a complete rest.

Even though such a rest didn't last too long…

But every soul that had been cleansed by this dew knew there was a girl called "Glatis" who once briefly shared the relentless torture of pain they felt.

The girl capable of sharing the pain of others naturally also had the ability to sense that pain.

Glatis, upon seeing the endless souls constantly wailing in agony, instantly shed tears from her tender heart.

And she also decided to use her strength as much as possible, to provide them with even a little bit of warmth.

It's just that her limited human strength was ultimately not enough to protect those innumerable souls, and the girl who almost burned herself out contributing this much also burned through all of her own essence.

Seeing her so resolute and considering her talent to be rare in the world, the great demons who endlessly tried to coax her into joining the Eternal Family tossed her into the so-called "loving father's" embrace, hoping his ultimate Divine Power and broad heart would completely transform her.

However, the transformation did not go smoothly.

The moment her body entered the pot, her former human body was instantly corroded until nothing was left.

Only a crystal-clear Spiritual Body remained, turning over and over in the soup filled with Divine Power and various germs.

The girl's Spiritual Body, which cried out in pain, remained as pristine as ever, unblemished by any of the germs.

Instead, traces of Divine Power invisibly steeped into the depths of her soul.

Through the embrace of the "loving father," for the first time, Glatis gained a glimpse of the true nature of the world.

Her eyes swept around her.

This pure white space, though it trapped their Spiritual Bodies here, did not subject them to any imprisonment or assault.

Even the essence that made up the pure white space did not have the natural sinful erosion like the chaos eggs in the Eternal Garden.

Where was this?

She did not know.

But to give these souls, which should have dissipated, a peaceful and warm refuge was already the greatest gratitude they could offer…

Until… an icy and eternal sun, at some time unbeknownst to them, descended from the dazzling white light above into this pure white world.

The cold light had no warmth but brought a sense of tranquility to the heart.

"Thank you for your rescue," Glatis bowed deeply towards the light…
