Aside from Vera, Qing Shuang and Liu Li, Lilith had already recovered to half-step Totem strength with the help of the Snow Woman.

The Snow Woman's ability can alleviate the aftereffects brought by excessive use of Divine Patterns, but this recovery has its limits.

For example, Lilith, limited by her current realm, can only recover to half-step Totem level.

Meanwhile, Liu Li and Vera, being only Monarch Tier One, were able to fully recover during the treatment.

At this moment, the Snow Woman's face was filled with disbelief.

She slowly approached Lilith, her voice somewhat stiff as she quietly asked:

"Lilith... what kind of monster is this Gu Xing exactly?"

"Why is every one of his Guardian Beasts so terrifying?"

She paused, as if still digesting everything she had just felt, and continued:

"His Guardian Beast is just at Monarch Tier One... how could it possibly release the aura of half-step Totem level?"

"This...is just too outrageous!"

Hearing the Snow Woman's words, Lilith turned her head and gave her a deep look.

Half-step Totem level?

Lilith's mouth twitched slightly.

If the Snow Woman knew that Gu Xing had already slain multiple Totem level enemies while still at Commander Tier Nine, she would be shocked beyond measure.

However, the Snow Woman is her friend after all, and Lilith is aware that if they continue to stay in the Snow Domain, the Snow Woman will sooner or later be completely targeted by the Demon Race.

This insect invasion likely has the shadow of the Demon Race behind it.

Persuading the Snow Woman to sign the Beast Taming Contract with Gu Xing is actually the best choice at present.

But...

The Snow Woman has always been averse to humans, directly proposing this request might have the opposite effect.

"Xiao Xue, you've misunderstood something."

Lilith's tone was unusually serious, "To Gu Xing, what's truly powerful has never been his one Guardian Beast."

Seeing her unprecedented seriousness, the Snow Woman was taken aback.

Lilith slowly continued:

"What is truly powerful... is Gu Xing himself."

"His talent has long surpassed the limits of your imagination."

These words were not an exaggeration.

Gu Xing possesses two major talents—

"Sovereign" and "Soul-devouring," either of which is enough to put an ordinary Beast Master at the top of the world.

Yet he possesses both.

What is even more shocking is that Gu Xing has also gained the recognition of numerous Divine Patterns.

After all, he is their Beast Master.

Even if Guardian Beasts like Liu Li have gained the recognition of the Divine Patterns, they would still be unable to truly utilize the power of the Divine Patterns if Gu Xing himself does not obtain the acknowledgment of the Divine Patterns.

However, in the last battle, Lilith clearly realized—

No Guardian Beast encountered any hindrance in invoking the Divine Patterns.

This can only mean one thing:

Gu Xing has obtained the recognition of all the Divine Patterns.

This is an almost unbelievable fact.

Every Divine Pattern contains extremely powerful strength, and if Gu Xing can gather the power of all Divine Patterns within himself...

Lilith could hardly imagine the terrifying power he could unleash.

Under Lilith's reminder, the Snow Woman once again turned her gaze toward Gu Xing.

It's not that she didn't hear the implied meaning in Lilith's words—

She is hoping that she signs a contract with Gu Xing.

Lilith has never been one to exaggerate.

If she says Gu Xing's talent far exceeds imagination, then it must be a fact.

But...

To have her sign a contract with a human she's only just met, she still finds it hard to accept.

No matter how strong the other party is, she is still unwilling to easily give up her own freedom.

So she deliberately avoided the topic, instead lightly waving her hand—

The next moment, an insect that was struggling appeared in her palm.

This insect was a sample brought back earlier by the Snow Guardian, only of Commander level, yet extremely ferocious.

Even sensing that the aura of the Snow Woman and Lilith was much higher than its own, it continued to struggle relentlessly, attempting to attack them.

Seeing this, the Snow Woman's brows furrowed slightly—

This is precisely what makes the Insect Race so difficult to deal with.

They are extremely aggressive, unafraid of threats, not fearing the strong, and only with complete extermination can their offensive be stopped.

She handed the insect to Lilith, speaking with a heavy tone:

"Lilith, this is the main Insect Race invading the Snow Domain this time."

"Look... do you have any way to counter it?"

Lilith reached out to try using the Blood Law for control.

However, the next moment, she frowned tightly.

In principle, when facing a Commander-level existence, she would only need to lightly activate the Blood Law and could easily reverse their blood flow, causing them to explode.

After all, almost no creature entirely lacks blood within their body, manipulating blood has always been her forte in defeating enemies.

But upon executing it herself, she suddenly realized—

The blood within this type of insect is scant to the point of nearly non-existent!

As Lilith's expression changed, the Snow Woman's face also darkened.

Earlier, the Snow Woman still had a sliver of composure left in her heart.

After all, Lilith possessed the ability to control blood; the numerical advantage of the Insect Race should have been meaningless in front of her—

As long as Lilith was healed, relying on her power, even if they couldn't obliterate the Insect Race entirely, they could certainly fend off their offensive.

But now, she realized, maybe she had oversimplified everything.

Gu Xing also locked his gaze on the insect in the Snow Woman's hand, attempting to probe for weaknesses with Spiritual Power, but was surprised to find no flaws at all.

He turned to look at Qing Shuang and Liu Li.

Liu Li softly spoke:

"Master, the Fire of Destruction is effective against them, but if there are too many..."

She didn't continue speaking, but her meaning was clear.

Qing Shuang also nodded, her Netherworld Ghost Qi could cause damage, yet its effect was equally limited.

Gu Xing's brows furrowed tighter.

He had already witnessed firsthand the near-infinite numbers of the insect swarm; if he couldn't find an efficient way to solve it on a large scale...

This time, they might truly be in danger.

Yet suddenly, Vera, who had been quietly standing behind Gu Xing, spoke up:

"Master, to deal with these insects... I think I might have a way."

Gu Xing was startled by her words.

Since Vera's Life Energy erosion and destruction capabilities weren't outstanding, he hadn't asked for her opinion before.

But now...

"Vera, what method?"

As soon as he spoke, the Snow Woman, Lilith, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on Vera.

Vera didn't hesitate a bit, she stepped forward, gently extended her fingertip.

A soft green glow flowed out of her fingertip soundlessly, merging into the insect that was still furiously struggling.

Almost the next instant, the insect stiffened abruptly, then its movements slowed rapidly, the fierceness in its eyes gradually faded, and it finally sank into complete silence.

This scene left everyone present utterly shocked—

They could clearly feel that Vera had hardly used any force to casually put an end to this stubborn member of the Insect Race.

The Snow Woman couldn't help but urgently ask, "How did you do that?"

Vera looked to Gu Xing, seeing him nod slightly, she finally explained softly:

"Although these insects have abundant Life Force, their control over their own Life Energy is extremely weak."

"And I...happen to be adept at manipulating Life Energy."

She didn't need to say much, everyone instantly understood her meaning—

The Insect Race lacks wisdom, so they are fearless unto death, but this also means their Life Force is extremely crude.

This leaves what seems a perfect Insect Race a fatal flaw.

Realizing this, hope lit up in everyone's eyes.

If Vera can easily control the Life Energy of these insects, then does it mean...

This crisis has a solution?
