Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

Chapter 318 Light Wormhole

The waiting process was not smooth.

In the star map of the planetarium, two stars that were originally very close to each other had separated at some point. Although it was only a tiny gap in the eyes of everyone in the Moon Hall, it would be magnified hundreds or thousands of times on the scale of the starry sky.

Sitting there doing nothing and waiting for the next group of people to return seemed to be particularly long and endless.

Fortunately, the intelligence team finally found clues in the thick materials.

In the ever-changing endless starry sky, space will be distorted under the influence of various factors. If there is no reliable connection between the starting point and the end point, they will be affected by the distortion of space. Just as the universe continues to expand, they are moving forward while also moving backward.

In the second round, they set out from the Moon Hall with ropes tied to them, and luckily avoided the influence of space distortion.

But not this time.

Starting from the 'main entrance' of the planetarium, we encountered this obstacle.

The information mentioned that only light can propagate in a straight line with minimal resistance.

Another part of the exploration team also searched everywhere in the Moon Hall, and finally found a similar record on a mural somewhere.

The passage of light can smoothly connect the two ends.

This is a hint.

Smart people immediately thought of building a light wormhole to create a shortcut for the trapped members of the Astrology Hall to return.

All the light magicians were called away, including Ying Youyou. They suddenly took on an extremely important task, which was to collect magical knowledge from limited information and build a magical passage connecting the Moon Hall and the Astrology Hall.

This is obviously an almost impossible thing to do.

We soon encountered an obstacle.

There were very few things mentioned in the limited information, and this task was equivalent to asking them to create a magic from scratch.

"It connects the Moon Hall and the Star Hall... Isn't it the planetarium?"

Ye Jiyan's words immediately awakened everyone who was stuck in a bottleneck.

They were so focused on the contents of the documents that they forgot there was a ready-made example in front of them. Instead, Ye Jiyan, who was watching on the side, was the first to figure it out.

A group of people crawled back to the planetarium, recording every rune and every symbol carved on it.

They are all reference answers.

……

……

Ivy sat in the rest area between the columns. Seeing that their investigation had finally yielded a clue, she couldn't help but relax.

Ye Jiyan came back.

"Your magic is improving rapidly," he said.

It sounded like a compliment, but Ivy was not very happy. To her, the real compliment should be that Ye Jiyan knew nothing about her creation of an illusion clone.

"Can I hide it from you?" Ivy asked.

Ye Jiyan was silent for a moment.

"If you were in better shape, I wouldn't even notice."

This answer does not seem to apply now.

But Ivy was indeed not subject to excessive scrutiny. She didn’t know whether Ye Jiyan didn’t want to or couldn’t.

Probably the former.

Ivy held his chin in frustration: "Do you think I'm being stubborn?"

The answer is obvious.

The gem shattered faster than in the second round, but the backlash she suffered did not weaken. If it was her in the second round, she would have been covered in blood and fainted. Now, she not only remained conscious, but also maintained the magic of the illusion clone.

"You have your own considerations."

"Well, because...it will get worse in the future."

Her condition won't get better.

Although she would soon have a large reserve of backlash gems, that was how she felt.

Ye Jiyan had seen her miserable state in the second round, but he did not say anything about her concern, nor did he make any jokes. Instead, he asked very seriously: "Do you want to live?"

A very straightforward question.

Until now, the fact that she had a short life span had been kept as a secret. Ye Jiyan might have noticed it, but this was the first time it had been pointed out so directly.

Ivy didn't know what to say for a moment: "Is it too early to ask this now?"

Do you want to survive?

It sounded like she was going to die.

Although her life span has been greatly reduced, she should still be able to live for a while.

"not early."

"?"

Where's the reminder?

Ye Jiyan smiled. He reached out and rubbed Ivy's head: "Your sense of touch needs to be improved."

"?"

Can she feel this? Her illusionary clone can't be so crudely made...

“Oh.” Although he had doubts in his heart, Ivy still responded honestly.

"Just tell me, do you want to or not?" Ye Jiyan continued the previous topic. His voice sounded serious and formal. "This is very important."

……

Do you want to survive?

...Of course I did.

She just felt helpless about the current situation. Her wasted lifespan was nowhere to be found. The only choice left for her seemed to be to leave it to fate, and she agreed to the conditions of the head of the Shi family.

But she wants to live.

She also wants to grow up with everyone, to witness her own future, and to become stronger.

Just give her more time.

She wants time.

Ivy lowered her head and said softly, "Yes."

"it is good."

A pamphlet was placed in Evie's hands and she looked up.

"I will let you live."

At this time, deafening cheers were heard not far away. The surface of the planetarium changed. A whirlpool-like darkness replaced the starry sky, and light particles continued to pour out.

The light wormhole seemed to have been successfully established, and everyone was in joy, waiting for the other group of people from the Astrology Hall to return.

Ivy was confused by Ye Jiyan's words.

"Wait." She grabbed Ye Jiyan's sleeve, "What are you going to do?"

Ye Jiyan looked at her: "You also heard my prophecy."

"……heard it."

"You will forget everything"

But what does it have to do with the current conversation?

Evie couldn't figure it out.

Ye Jiyan continued: "I found a way to maximize the benefits."

In this series of confusing conversations, Ye Jiyan seemed to have made an important decision.

"What do you need from me?" Evie asked.

He shook his head.

"All you have to do is wish me success, and then return it to me when the time is right." He pointed at the booklet in Ivy's hand.

“Can I take a peek?” Ivy had been curious about what was inside before, but he didn’t expect that it would be temporarily stored here with him.

"Okay." Ye Jiyan agreed generously.

He was so frank, it seemed that there were no secrets recorded in it.

Ivy naturally wouldn't open it in front of him. She held the booklet in her arms with care.

Her sight passed over the planetarium that was glowing with stars, and she suddenly realized that this was the Moon Hall, a place where treasures were exchanged for prices under the witness of the Moon Spirit...

She seemed to know what Ye Jiyan wanted to do.

He always makes the right and reliable decisions. Since he said he can maximize the benefits, then there should be... nothing to worry about, right?

"I wish you success...brother."
