Chapter 183 Self-Destruction of the Mind
"Everyone has entered the Life Scale." Hua Ling looked at the stable Life Scale in front of her and cast a spell: "Ye Luoli Magic, light and shadow are the form, fragrance is the spirit, and the spirit is the form!"
Strands of power were drawn away from everyone and injected into Xinling Doll's body.
"The ceremony has begun." Mandora looked at the shrunken Xinling, a triumphant smile appearing in her eyes.
To think that Mandora is simply being resurrected is to underestimate her.
"How could this be?" Not long after, Hua Ling suddenly noticed that the previously stable Life Balance had begun to shake: "The power is unbalanced. Isn't it enough to just extract the power from the Saint-level Fairy?"
Hua Ling didn't realize that it was Mandora who was behind it, so she had no choice but to continue extracting the immortal power from Yan Jue, Pang Zun, and Du Xi Fei.
However, as time went on, the balance of life and death not only failed to become balanced, but became even more severely unbalanced, rapidly draining everyone's strength.
"No, something must be wrong!" Even if Hua Ling was slow to notice, she sensed something was wrong. In order not to hurt them, Hua Ling immediately decided to withdraw the Life Scale: "Ye Luoli Magic, withdraw!"
"Don't stop!" Mandora flashed behind Hua Ling, pressing her staff against her back. "Sister hasn't been resurrected yet. If we stop now, the power we just extracted will be wasted!"
"But I can't use magic that saves people to harm them. If this continues, everyone will be in danger!" Hua Ling forcefully mobilized her fairy power to retrieve the Life Scale: "Ye Luoli Magic, Life Scale, retrieve!"
However, the Life Scale did not disappear; instead, after shaking even more violently, it began to draw away everyone's immortal power even more rapidly.
Not to mention the little fairies and Ye Luoli warriors, even the four Saint-level fairies were exhausted because too much of their fairy power had been drained.
"What's going on? Why can't my Life Scales stop?" Hua Ling never expected that she would ever lose control of her magic.
Even if her spirit is locked up and she has lost her freedom, she is still a Saint-level fairy who governs life, and this situation should not have occurred to her.
"Mandora, did you do something wrong?!" Hua Ling turned to look at Mandora behind her and finally realized the source of the problem.
"Isn't it a bit too late to realize this now?" Mandora revealed a triumphant smile. "Since everyone has entered the Scales of Life, I'll tell you the truth."
“Princess Ling, the immortal power you absorbed wasn’t used to revive my sister at all; it was transferred to me through the mirror.”
"And I also control your life balance through the mirror placed on your sister, making it impossible for you to stop absorbing power."
"And so, a continuous stream of power flowed into me."
As Mandora spoke, she gathered the power she had just seized into her palm and deliberately showed it to Hua Ling.
"So that's why no amount of immortal power is enough?" Hua Ling questioned, "Why did you do this? What is your purpose in absorbing the immortal power of the Lingxi Pavilion Master? Don't you truly want to revive Fairy Xinling?"
“Sister? Of course I will revive her.” Mandora said with a displeased expression, “However, the Ye Luoli warriors have stopped me time and time again and ruined my plans. The Lingxi Pavilion refuses to lend me the power of the Lingxi, but lends it to humans instead.”
"Therefore, I will make them all pay the price!"
“How could that be? The Lingxi Pavilion maintains balance and is the most impartial entity!” Hua Ling was still determined to argue her point: “We will neither interfere in the affairs of the human world nor favor the fairy realm.”
"Your so-called just Lingxi Pavilion no longer exists," Mandora said disdainfully. "Since that's the case, you might as well give me all your power!"
"So what do you plan to do? Are you really going to drain everyone's life energy?" Hua Ling's focus was always on life: "I absolutely cannot tolerate so many lives being lost."
“This is the price they have to pay,” Mandora said bluntly. “If you can’t maintain the balance, then let me take your place!”
"Mandora, I won't let you succeed!" Hua Ling watched as one person after another fell on the Life Scale, and finally made up her mind: "As long as I destroy my own mind, the caster will be gone, and your Mirror Spell will no longer be able to control my Life Scale!"
"Princess Ling, you can't do this!" Mandora cried out in alarm. If the Mother of Life, who governs life, were to pass away, no one could save lives anymore.
"The Flower Breath Restoration Technique is a life-saving magic. If I stand by and watch someone die, what kind of Mother of Life would I be!" Hua Ling said, gathering immortal power in her hand, about to destroy her own mind.
