Chapter 1006: Tina Empress

The Fourth Rank deity's words sounded ordinary, yet within them lay an extremely domineering force, echoing throughout this divine realm!

All the surrounding divine lords could feel his aura of dominance!

"Then I won't agree."

Upon hearing the Fourth Rank deity's words, the Goddess of Eternal Night's expression remained terrifyingly calm, her tone devoid of any emotion whatsoever.

As if she had already transcended life and death.

"Fascinating! I'm even more interested in you now."

Hearing the Goddess of Eternal Night's reply, the Fourth Rank deity did not grow angry, but replied in the same calm tone.

Yet after speaking, he moved.

"Your realm is the Eternal Night Empire, correct? I happen to have a mark from there."

With that, the Fourth Rank deity extended his hand and swept it through the air.

A passage opened before him.

Then, from his body stepped forth an identical divine avatar, taking one step into the passage.

Above the capital of the Eternal Night Empire on the Continent of Gods, another passage blazed open, stretching tens of thousands of zhang wide!

As the passage opened, a terrifying aura surged forth.

Immediately, a divine avatar clad in black stepped out.

This divine avatar made no effort to conceal its power—its overwhelming presence, the unmistakable surge of a Saint Realm Fourth Stage, swept across all directions like a tidal wave!

"A Saint Realm Fourth Stage divine avatar!"

The moment this divine avatar stepped out, every surrounding divine avatar trembled.

One divine avatar cried out in shock.

A Saint Realm Fourth Stage divine avatar—no divine lord, not even one at the peak of the Third Level, could possibly manifest one.

Only a Fourth Rank deity could manifest a Saint Realm Fourth Stage divine avatar!

This Saint Realm Fourth Stage divine avatar meant a powerful, invincible Fourth Rank deity!

The surrounding divine avatars recoiled as if faced with venomous snakes and scorpions, scrambling to get out of the way.

Afraid of provoking this Fourth Rank deity!

Yet after descending, this Saint Realm Fourth Stage divine avatar did not strike immediately.

Instead, it took one step forward, its aura shaking heaven and earth.

It stood only ten kilometers from Empress Tina, its face expressionless.

But in the Heavenly Realm, a lingering gaze upon Empress Tina's Goddess of Eternal Night had changed its expression.

The meaning of this Fourth Rank deity was clear.

If the Goddess of Eternal Night refused, not only would she die—but Empress Tina would die too!

"What about now?"

The Fourth Rank deity said coolly.

The Goddess of Eternal Night's gaze sank.

"I give you three minutes to decide."

After speaking, the Fourth Rank deity fell silent.

Around them, all the divine lords dared not speak.

Even Lord Tianfeng and Lord Tianlong ceased their secret exchanges, fearing they might be overheard.

The Goddess of Eternal Night turned her gaze downward.

"Tina, use the treasure I gave you to break through and leave the Eternal Night Empire. Don't worry about me—I won't die…"

After conveying her message through revelation, the Goddess of Eternal Night withdrew her gaze.

Immediately, her aura began to surge uncontrollably upward.

The Fourth Rank deity watched her calmly, his expression unchanged.

On the Continent of Gods, Empress Tina, upon hearing the Goddess of Eternal Night's words, grew even paler than before.

She had long foreseen this day.

She could guess that her sister's breakthrough this time would likely fail.

Otherwise, she would never have gone to such lengths to stop the Goddess of Eternal Night.

"So it's finally here?"

A bitter smile appeared on Empress Tina's face.

This day had finally come.

She had done all she could—until now, the Eternal Night Empire had not fallen despite being besieged by ten great empires.

She faced the Saint Realm forces of ten empires and the divine avatars of ten divine lineages.

And she had not asked the Goddess of Eternal Night to grant even the slightest bit of power.

She had done everything within her power.

Yet events still unfolded toward the worst possible outcome!

"But I haven't lost yet!"

Empress Tina finally decided to enact the plan she had long prepared.

That was—to sacrifice her own most sincere faith, to become the Flame Lord's eternal holy maiden for life, and beg the Flame Lord to intervene once for her sister!

She did not ask the Flame Lord to ensure her sister's breakthrough to the Fourth Rank.

She only begged for her sister's life to be spared.

For Empress Tina, as long as her sister was still alive, that was the greatest comfort.

After all, in this world, her only closest relative was her sister!

Empress Tina closed her eyes and began to pray.

Beside her, the divine avatar of the Sacred Domain Fourth Rank made no movement.

He did not need to make any movement.

On the Continent of Gods, the Sacred Domain Fourth Rank was the pinnacle of power.

Absolute strength brought absolute confidence.

"So you've finally prayed to the Goddess of Eternal Night? But since the Goddess of Eternal Night hasn't broken through the fourth tier, she cannot help you at all."

Around her, the divine avatars of the pantheon did not know the situation in the Heavenly Realm and assumed Empress Tina was praying to the Goddess of Eternal Night.

Yet, the words in Empress Tina's heart were beyond their imagination!

She was praying to another powerful deity!

"Great Lord of Flame, I, Tina of the Eternal Night Empire, offer you my most devout faith, dedicating my life as your most loyal Holy Maiden; in exchange for your intervention, I beg you to save my sister, the Goddess of Eternal Night, Nina…"

Empress Tina prayed this over and over in her heart.

Yes, Empress Tina had added the Eternal Night Empire.

The reason was simple.

If her sister died, the Eternal Night Empire would cease to exist.

If that were the case, better to offer it to the Lord of Flame!

On the Continent of Gods, a prayer from a Sacred Domain being would draw immediate responses from countless deities.

A prayer from a Sacred Domain Third Rank being would likely draw an immediate response even from a deity at the peak of the third tier.

Even a Fourth Tier deity would typically choose to respond immediately.
