Gu Yuena immediately used spatial elements to seal the liquid in her mouth, then lowered her head and pressed her lips against Tang Wulin's, despite the fact that there were so many people watching.

The elixir formed by the flower flowed through her lips and into Tang Wulin's mouth.

Many of the spectators were quite befuddled by what they were seeing. Even in the Tang Sect, only Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin were aware of just how potent a miracle-worker the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower was.

After the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower was fed to Tang Wulin, his body immediately shuddered slightly, and his bleeding suddenly ceased.

Immediately thereafter, a layer of reddish-golden light began to glow from her body, and at the same time, the Beautiful Silk Tulip suddenly appeared beside him amid a flash of pink light.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately said in an urgent voice, "Use your aura to stimulate his aura to make full use of the flower's medicinal effects! Hurry! The Lovesick Heartbreak Flower will only work best when it's paired with the aura of the consumer's true love."

Gu Yuena faltered slightly before immediately holding Tang Wulin tight in her arms and pressing her own cheek against his. She was warming his body with her own while slowly injecting her soul power to stimulate his aura.

With the injection of her aura, the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower quickly began to take effect.

What was first to display a change was Tang Wulin's aura, which gradually became more peaceful, and he seemed to be very calm in Gu Yuena's arms.

The sharp aura of Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift was also slowly affected by the medicinal power of the flower.

Of course, the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower itself wasn't able to oppose the fearsome aura of Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift, but it could stimulate Tang Wulin's own bodily functions to their maximal extent.

As a result, Tang Wulin was healing at several times the original rate, and even though his body was still being damaged, the rate at which it was healing far exceeded the rate at which it was sustaining further injuries.

Thus, he gradually entered a stable condition, and most importantly of all, he now had a heartbeat!

Under the miraculous effects of the Lovesick Heartbreak Flower, his heart had been reconstructed, and through the injection of Gu Yuena's soul power, the sharp aura of Heavenly Saint Abyssal Rift was being nullified bit by bit.

At this point, both Yu Guanzhi and Zhang Huanyun had already arrived on the battlefield.

The human army had suffered unprecedented losses in this battle. Many Limit Douluos had fallen, including the masters of the Battle God Hall and Douluo Palace. Furthermore, the three naval fleets had been wiped out, and the human army had also suffered extremely heavy losses.

The only ones left who could lead the human army were Yu Guanzhi, Zhang Huanyun, and Gu Yuena.

Yu Guanzhi stood and watched as Gu Yuena treated Tang Wulin, but all the hope had left his heart.

After the three federal fleets and almost the entire human army had been wiped out by the Holy Lord, it was as if Yu Guanzhi had instantly aged 10 years.

He had just received an emergency enquiry from the federal government. Understandably, the entire Douluo Continent was quickly entering a state of panic due to the sudden onset of worldwide darkness, and the government was no exception as it frantically tried to understand what was happening.

All Yu Guanzhi could do was broadcast the scenes unfolding on the front lines straight to the federal government, and the final image of Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin's sacrifices was broadcasted right before he had come here.

This was an unavoidable disaster.

Regardless of how much mental fortitude Yu Guanzhi possessed, there was simply no confidence to back it up.

He wasn't really in fear; for him, death wasn't something to be afraid of.

Chen Xinjie and Dong Zi'an were able to sacrifice themselves for the federation, and he was also capable of the same thing.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the human army, he was unable to secure a future for the human race, and he felt like a failure.

Every tactic and resource available to him had already been exhausted, and there were no longer any chances left.

It was all over.

So what if Tang Wulin could be successfully treated? Could they really defeat the Holy Lord? It was clear from the earlier clash that this would be impossible.

The Holy Lord was countless times more fearsome than Demon Sovereign, and even the Douluo Continent's planar ruler was powerless against him.

Gradually, Tang Wulin's heartbeat began to become more vigorous, and the vitality returned to his body.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon sensing this. Thankfully, he had been resurrected. His breathing began to even out, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Only then did Gu Yuena allow herself a sigh of relief.

She stood up with Tang Wulin in her arms before turning to Yu Guanzhi. "Everyone is exhausted. Regardless of what happens in three days, everyone currently needs rest. We won't give up; even if there's only the slightest chance left, we definitely can't give up."

A determined look appeared in her eyes as she spoke, and her determination cut through the miasma of despair in Yu Guanzhi's heart.

These young people were still as determined as ever; how could he allow himself to wallow in despair?

"You're right. We'll take these three days to arrange all of our forces. Even if we die, it has to be on the battlefield."

Gu Yuena nodded before rising up into the air with Tang Wulin in her arms, flying toward the mountaintop where the secondary tree of life had previously stood. The encampment of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect was still intact.

Gu Yuena's determination seemed to be infectious, and it instilled a little bit of hope in everyone.

Indeed, even if the world were about to end, they still had three days left, and they had to do something in these final three days.

...... 

At the federal government.

"What do we do?"

That was the question being asked by every member of parliament, but no one had the answer.

Who could've imagined that this would be the final outcome? The broadcast of the most important scenes of the battle had just concluded on the big screen.

Who could be blamed for this current situation?

Everyone had done everything that they could, and so many people had perished all for a chance at securing the final victory.

Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin had joined forces to defeat Demon Sovereign, but who could've anticipated the arrival of the Holy Lord?

This plot had been brewing for 6,000 years, and it was finally being realized.

Most importantly, there was no way that all of his could be hidden from the general public any longer. The darkness that had descended upon the entire world had already sent the whole population into a panic, and the human army had been utterly decimated.

There were still three more days left, three more days before the seal that Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin had sacrificed themselves to create would be broken.

Once that happened, the world would perhaps come to an end.

"There's no point in holding this meeting! We only have three days left of our lives; we can't afford to be wasting any time here. No matter what we do, it's completely hopeless," a parliamentary member from the Eagle Faction roared.

"It's over, there's nothing we can do. Our troops did nothing wrong; they defended the continent with their lives, but the enemy is just too powerful. They've done everything in their power, yet it's simply not enough; we don't even have any further troops that we can send to them as reinforcements."

All of the parliamentary members' voices were filled with horror and despair, and the vast majority of them were scurrying around like ants on a hot frying pan.
