Chapter 1590: Bury Her
Everyone was stunned into silence for a long while by the Heavenly Earth G.o.d’s departure.
In the end, everyone burst into raucous cheers in unison!
“The Heavenly Earth G.o.d ran away? This is incredible!”
“We won!”
“What a hard-earned victory, waah… I thought we were going to lose on many occasions…”
“Heck, I thought we were going to die on many occasions!”
“It’s a pity about Raphaella…”
“Sigh…”
Everyone was either whooping with excitement and sighing with melancholy.
They were ecstatic about this victory, but they were also heartbroken that the warm and beautiful Raphaella had fallen and had left them forever.
In battles of this caliber, it was impossible that everyone would survive. In fact, it was already a ma.s.sively pleasant surprise that only one of them had fallen.
All of them tried to comfort themselves with those thoughts, but they were still unable to repress their sorrow.
Xu Xiaolan slowly descended to the ground, and An Lin emerged from his coffin. His footsteps were a little unsteady, and his face was very pale. He was clearly on the brink of unconsciousness, but he forced himself to remain conscious before turning his eyes toward the Ancient Dragon Empress.
Chen Chen also made his way over to the Ancient Dragon Empress.
Bai Ling piloted the Spatial White Fairy from afar.
The phoenix and the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird circled the sky overhead, illuminating the night with their dazzling exuberance.
Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, Tina, Xiao Hong, Sun Yuluo, the Fist Sage, and a bunch of other extermination team members made their way out of the aircraft.
The Ancient Dragon Empress’ storage ring flashed, and a beautiful woman appeared.
Her body had been restored to its original state, and her hands were crossed over her lower abdomen while her eyes were peacefully closed. Her skin was still just as glittering and translucent as ever, and her soft, white archangel robe accentuated the lithe and graceful curves of her exquisite body. She was like a sleeping Celestial Maiden, heartbreakingly beautiful and captivating.
Everyone’s heart throbbed with pain upon seeing her.
Most of them had come into contact with Raphaella before.
Back when they were learning the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques, the Ancient Dragon Empress was their teacher while Raphaella healed them from injuries and replenished their energy. She would be the first one to arrive on the scene whenever anyone was injured, and she would heal their bodies with her spell techniques and their hearts with her captivating smile.
Raphaella had left a very profound impression upon them, and no one would have expected that such a warm and kind-hearted woman would meet such a tragic fate in this battle.
“If it weren’t for Raphaella, I would most likely have already been killed in this battle.” Tears welled up in An Lin’s eyes as he heaved a forlorn sigh.
Xu Xiaolan nodded. “She healed our injuries, and even after her death, she focused her Dao Integration Stage reciprocation on us. If that weren’t the case, we would not have the power to combat the Heavenly G.o.ds…”
“She really was a very good woman.” An Lin sighed.
Xu Xiaolan nodded in agreement.
They were situated the closest to Raphaella when she fell, and they benefited most from her reciprocation. Not only did they experience Raphaella’s divine dao intent, but they also saw her entire life…
Raphaella had always been very kind-hearted since birth. She was averse to battle and would often help out her friends who had encountered difficulties.
She didn’t know how to fight, and the first spell technique she learned was a healing spell technique. She would be genuinely glad whenever one of her friends who was howling with sobs from the injuries they sustained would smile widely after being healed by her. As such, her conviction in learning healing spell techniques became firmer and firmer.
How wonderful would it be if everyone in this world no longer suffered from pain and illness… I want to become more powerful so that I can make everyone smile!
This was a very simple thought. All she wanted to do was to heal more people, but she didn’t realize at that time that this simple thought would take her on a journey that would span countless years.
She had saved and helped countless living beings in her lifetime.
Those afflicted by disease, poison, curses, bloodline issues…
Raphaella worked hard every single day to give these living beings a second chance at life and to show them just how beautiful life could be.
The reason why countless living beings revered her as the number one G.o.ddess on the Tai Chu Continent was not just for her looks, but it was more so for her unparalleled healing techniques that had saved countless living beings.
Raphaella finally became the first healing-type Dao Integration Stage living being on the Tai Chu Continent.
When the Heavenly Human Tribe invasion struck and the human race was faced with the threat of extinction, she was the first to stand up from the Holy Paradise to offer her help to the human race as she didn’t want to see a whole race be wiped out.
Even though the Light Wing Clan had always been very friendly with the human race, their higher-ups were actually quite conflicted about whether they should extend their a.s.sistance to the human race. Raphaella was the first to stand up and make her att.i.tude known. She had led the way and played a major role in swaying the entire Light Wing Clan.
After that, she joined the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect of her own volition and stepped onto the battlefield to combat the Heavenly Human Tribe United Army. She was prepared to sacrifice herself for the human race when she made that decision…
In the end, her life came to a premature end after she was a.s.sa.s.sinated by the Heavenly Earth G.o.d.
Raphaella was lying on the ground with green gra.s.s and beautiful flowers slowly peeking out from the soil beneath her.
The Ancient Dragon Empress half-knelt to the ground and caressed Raphaella’s cheek as she said in a gentle voice, “She told me that if she was to die in battle one day, she wanted to be buried on the ravaged and dilapidated battlefield so that she could transform it into a beautiful place again.”
Tears began to well up in everyone’s eyes upon hearing this.
The place where a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure was buried could draw the Spiritual Energy of Heaven And Earth to that place, thereby transforming it into paradise. Many mighty figures would choose to be buried at their own sect so that they could continue to bless their disciples even after death. However, Raphaella was instead requesting them to bury her in this hideous battlefield…
Her life had ended here, so she wanted to make this a better place.
“Just bury her here.” Chen Chen nodded. “I’ll set up an enchantment barrier that even the Heavenly G.o.ds won’t be able to break through. She’ll be very safe here.”
Everyone buried Raphaella and erected a tombstone for her.
The ravaged battlefield was nurtured by her body, and its vitality was being restored at a rate that was apparent even to the naked eye.
Slowly, the area within a radius of over a hundred kilometers became an immortal paradise with lush flora and exotic fauna. Furthermore, this change was still slowly extending further into the distance.
An Lin and the others were amazed.
Chen Chen bowed deeply to the tombstone before him. “Thank you, Raphaella. I hope you can continue on toward the Holy Paradise you yearn for and live happily there forever.”
Everyone also bowed deeply toward the tombstone.
They had nothing but the utmost respect for Raphaella.
The phoenix danced in the sky. Specks of flames fell like vibrant flowers from its body, creating an exuberant and romantic scene.
The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was also circling over the heavens, lighting up the night sky with dreamy, nine-colored light.
The two mythological beasts were mourning their fallen comrade in their own unique ways.
This was the funeral of one of the four archangels of the Garden of Eden, Healing G.o.ddess Raphaella.
