The moment Zhang Yue opened his eyes, he saw the one who killed him, the peak-rank Transcendent Main God Xingtian, standing right in front of him.
Even though he was lying on the ground, he immediately used Flash to pull distance from Xingtian.
He grabbed his staff, pointed it at her, ready to fight at any moment.
However, Xingtian didn't seem hostile toward him.
She lowered her sword and looked at Zhang Yue calmly.
Zhang Yue also seemed to realize something.
He lowered his staff and dropped his battle stance.
Because he suddenly remembered one thing.
Xingtian's power was so overwhelming she could kill him in one strike.
Facing such an enemy, even if Zhang Yue fought with all he had, there was no way he could win. Fighting would only be pointless resistance.
Besides, the fact that he was still alive meant Xingtian hadn't truly tried to kill him back then.
But the system had clearly announced his death.
How could he still be alive in such circumstances?
Just as Zhang Yue was trying to make sense of it, Xingtian opened her mouth and said, "Don't be surprised. I'm the one who resurrected you."
As she spoke, she demonstrated it to Zhang Yue on the spot.
She swung her long sword.
Whoosh!
Flames burst to life on the blade.
Next, sparks drifted off the sword, floating outward and landing on the bodies of the Thirty-Six-Wing Armageddon Black Dragon, the Purgatory Skeleton King, the Apex Devourer, Cherry, and the Ice-Sealed Throne.
In the next instant, all five pets came back to life.
Zhang Yue was utterly shocked by what he saw.
"You actually have resurrection abilities?"
But that wasn't the key point.
The key point was: she could ignore the resurrection restriction of the Divine Tomb and revive the dead.
According to the rules of the Divine Tomb, once a professional dies inside, resurrection becomes impossible.
That was why even though Zhang Yue had resurrection scrolls, he didn't revive after Xingtian killed him.
Clearly, the reason he was alive now wasn't because his scroll activated, but because Xingtian revived him with her own power.
But Zhang Yue didn't understand, "You killed me, and now you revive me. Why did you do that?"
Xingtian walked leisurely around the great hall.
With each step, her overwhelming aura made Zhang Yue feel as if she could tear him apart at any moment.
This power was terrifying.
Even the aura of the ten great ferocious beasts and emperor-rank bosses didn't come close to one-tenth of Xingtian's.
"There are too many eyes watching you," Xingtian looked at him and said, "What we need to do next cannot be seen by anyone."
Hearing this, Cherry instantly flashed in front of Zhang Yue, guarding him, glaring angrily at Xingtian, shouting, "I won't let you hurt my master again!"
Xingtian smiled gently, "Relax. I won't hurt you, nor will I hurt your master."
"Because your master saved me. How could I possibly harm the one who saved my life?"
Zhang Yue understood what she meant.
Because earlier he had been livestreaming, with billions watching him worldwide.
Xingtian had done all of this to cut off Zhang Yue's connection to the outside world.
"Next, I will take you somewhere. Best if no one knows about that place," Xingtian said, "So the best way is to let everyone believe you died in the Divine Tomb."
"Then no matter what we do next, no outsider will know."
For some reason, Zhang Yue felt uneasy hearing that.
But Xingtian's resurrection power was simply too heaven-defying.
"You can resurrect people infinitely?", Zhang Yue asked.
"Yes," Xingtian said, "As long as the death time doesn't exceed ten minutes, even if it's a permanent death, I can bring them back."
"Die one hundred times, I can revive them one hundred times."
"Die one thousand times, I can revive them one thousand times."
Zhang Yue was completely stunned.
'What kind of broken power is this?'
It meant as long as death didn't exceed ten minutes, someone could die infinitely and still be revived?
This was too unbelievable.
But another question came to his mind, "Since you're so powerful, why were you trapped in the Divine Tomb, sealed inside a painting, unable to save yourself?"
Xingtian didn't answer that question. Instead, she asked, "Didn't you feel anything strange from the moment you stepped into the Divine Tomb?"
Zhang Yue thought carefully, "I felt like… something was watching me the whole time."
Xingtian said, "Remove the 'felt like.'"
"It was me watching you."
Her words sent chills all over Zhang Yue's body.
"You… weren't trapped in the painting?"
Suddenly, Zhang Yue seemed to realize something, "So you were never trapped at all. Sigh!"
"I was observing whether you had the qualifications to enter the Divine Realm with me," Xingtian said, "Everything you experienced before this was merely my test for you."
"The Divine Realm?"
"What kind of place is that?"
"What exactly are you? Are you a professional or an AI?"
Xingtian looked at him, "Why don't you ask whether you passed the test?"
Zhang Yue was quiet for a moment, "Since you revived me, I guess that means I passed."
Xingtian smiled.
That smile was enough to make countless men lose their souls.
"You're quite smart," she said, "Yes, you passed. Congratulations."
"And congratulations to me as well."
Zhang Yue still didn't understand, "So can you answer my questions now?"
"Same as you," Xingtian said, "I'm a professional. I'm a human from the real world, not a being born of the otherworld."
This shocked Zhang Yue greatly, "You're a professional?"
"Then why were you trapped here?"
"That goes back two hundred years," Xingtian walked up to him, her deep eyes shining like the stars and sea, "Let me take you somewhere."
"There, you will learn everything you want to know."
Zhang Yue asked, "Where?"
Xingtian looked back at him, "The Divine Realm."
With that, she walked out of the hall.
And Zhang Yue, carrying endless questions about her and this place, followed behind her.
Soon, they arrived before a massive golden light curtain.
Zhang Yue stepped into it together with Xingtian.
