As Owen and Leslie combined their power to activate the Divine Path Stone, filling Azure Kingdom with immortal energy, they both let out a slight sigh of relief.
In their perception, Azure Kingdom had already disconnected from the surrounding time and space, as if it now existed in an alternate dimension.
With this immortal energy present, Azure Kingdom could finally rest assured for the duration of the Millennial Cataclysm!
"While the Divine Path Stone grants us some security, it's still far from enough," Owen remarked, his gaze deep as he looked at Leslie.
Leslie nodded in understanding, her tone serious as she replied, "This Millennial Cataclysm arrived much sooner than expected. Azure Kingdom's strength isn't yet sufficient to launch an offensive against The Celestial; we'll have to find another way."
