Why did you consume all at once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel, realizing what happened, abruptly raised her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeterred by Blood Dew consumption, Li Min simply discarded the fragments, closing the only eye that seemed useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, vigorous vitality surged from her broken body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body visibly straightened; her previously drooping arm gained strength, and even her other eye sparked back to life upon reopening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had the feeling of having taken a powerful tonic, no wonder Rachel had sent this despite facing a slim chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Fu Qian remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, although the substance was greatly replenishing, it clearly had no dispelling effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the chaotic scales and horns on Li Min’s body not only did not reduce, they even looked more vivid and fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It won’t make much difference to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a leap, she landed gently on the cliff’s edge, her voice sounding much more normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was a person named Delanlay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of someone who knew herself too well, it was too hard to hide anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After years of acquaintance, Rachel fully understood what her friend meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly did not believe her own claims of having everything under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a self-proclaimed hopeless situation, she drank three bottles of Blood Dew in one go, hoping to regain some strength temporarily to help herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were slightly misty, yet she quickly controlled her emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy is not only skilled in various survival skills, but his strength is also remarkable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But as a newcomer, Lann didn’t trust him much and asked me to monitor his every move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I didn’t take it too seriously, he seemed perfectly normal and that was what I reported back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unexpectedly, Lann was right; the purpose of Delanlay joining seems solely to eliminate harm; everyone on the boat got contaminated by the blood of Curse Abyss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the time you captured the Mermaid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Min listened very carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is he now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He disappeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened afterward? This threat alone doesn’t seem enough for you to decisively enter the Sea of Ashes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, Li Min’s worldly experience was rich, and her clarity under temporary revitalization was indeed sharp as a tack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the strange part, that guy seems strong enough that he even prepared a Sea God in advance, and right after the contamination, we were instantly attacked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel gave a bitter smile, describing the scene of being attacked twice consecutively by tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am very certain it was a Divine Being, but its behavior was odd, not as vicious as the legendary Sea God, but more like it was taunting us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or driving you away…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her face was hideous, one could still feel Li Min sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving away…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Rachel felt the confusion in her heart clear up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment she murmured to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It never intended to kill us, it just wanted to drive us here, every attack was to eliminate our other options…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why? What does it mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it a game of cat and mouse? Or giving us a chance to repent? Honestly, I don’t think It is that merciful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think so either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Min shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not even sure what you encountered is the legendary Sea God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That thing, although famous, is essentially just a brutal animal, and compared to driving you here for amusement, it would rather burst in and tear you to pieces in the Sea of Ashes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, our decision to hide here was still correct…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s annoyance seemed to lessen a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was right, but do you think that with that guy’s performance, does it matter to him whether you have the Curse Abyss’s mark?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Min let out a hoarse laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m more than half sure that even if you were clean, It would still be waiting outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the desperate situation described by Li Min, Rachel unusually smiled lightly after a long silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll stay here with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve been here so long, there must be many places you can show me around, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Ran Hui suddenly became broad-minded, no wonder it’s said that experiences lead to growth; her spiritual state has improved too quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the communication between the two, Fu Qian felt emotional, yet his thoughts drifted to the hunters at the login point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they weren’t too disappointing, they must be making similar deductions and reaching similar conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you can’t rot here like me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Li Min strictly criticized this suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There must be a way! First, we need to figure out what that thing is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay here, don’t go anywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment she appeared to have made some decision, instructing Rachel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you going to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel was startled, sensing a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to take a look outside the Floating Island, to confirm what that thing is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s response in her haste was almost a shriek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a Divine Being!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, I’m not afraid of death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Min laughed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you staying here, or are you going to be a burden to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing her intimate friend’s temperament, Rachel was speechless in face of the two options given by Li Min.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’m indeed very familiar with this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swifter than before, Li Min’s body dived into the water while speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just going to observe the perimeter, it won’t be too dangerous—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she finished speaking, Li Min’s body jumped back with even greater speed and immediately dragged Rachel to frantically retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, amidst deafening sounds, the cliff where the two were originally standing was shattered by a giant tentacle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1123,"2026-06-03T07:51:01.631Z","2026-06-03T07:51:04.811Z",1,"novelbin.me","cd609fd9fa94521c55e320ffa549afeeca5ef4d29557a2c08ec45bc90763ee07","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1133","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-1131",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
