"I will make him pay a hundred times more painfully than you."
He Xi shook her head, lifted her head from his embrace, her face still streaked with tears.
"He wants the genes you left in my body... He doesn't dare to face you directly."
"So they came after us...those of you who had your seed implanted..."
Lin Ci understood instantly.
He thought of Qilin.
Fortunately, before leaving Earth, she left behind the chubby boy to protect her.
Otherwise, he had no doubt that the Space Principal's next target was Qi Lin.
"How do you feel now?"
Lin Ci looked at her pale face and felt heartbroken.
"My divine body... was completely disintegrated by him..."
He Xi's voice was filled with disappointment.
"Now, I'm no different from an ordinary person."
Lin Ci fell silent.
He understood that in this world, whether it was the Taotie, the demons, or even Karl, they were all just minor troublemakers.
The only thing that truly poses a deadly threat to the native inhabitants of this universe is space itself.
In fact, after learning the news from Carl, Lin Ci had already conceived the idea of "binding and commanding the spirits" of the Space Principal.
He used the power of the "Eye of Aurora" space in an attempt to locate the other person by reciting their name.
But the result was that he was not teleported to him, nor did he appear at his location.
Lin Ci inquired with the system.
The answer he received made him frown.
The Space Principal is a very special kind of "consciousness entity".
He was almost one with the "Heavenly Way" rules of this world, omnipresent yet untraceable.
There are only two ways to catch him.
First, he revealed himself voluntarily, exposing his true form.
Second, it is to destroy this world and forcibly force his consciousness out of the collapsing rules.
But he won't show himself to you on his own initiative.
Lin Ci, however, has the power to destroy this place.
Looking at He Xi in his arms, he thought of Keisha and Liang Bing fighting far away, and of Qi Lin on Earth.
He couldn't possibly destroy this place.
That leaves only one last method.
Lin Ci's gaze fell on He Xi's face in his arms, and his eyes became incredibly deep.
He already had the only answer in his heart.
A crazy, yet the only feasible answer.
He gently lifted He Xi's chin, making her look into his eyes.
His voice calmed down, but carried an undeniable resolve.
He Xi tilted her head slightly, her beautiful blue eyes reflecting her handsome and serious face.
Do you want to be with me forever?
Lin Ci suddenly asked.
This question seems somewhat out of place in this atmosphere.
But He Xi smiled, and although the smile still looked weak, it was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Of course I do."
Her answer came without the slightest hesitation.
Lin said goodbye to me, saying that I would leave again, but promised that our next meeting would be forever.
Lin Ci's gaze grew increasingly gentle.
"I have a way to keep you with me forever."
"Even immortal and indestructible."
"And it will give you... power similar to mine."
A hint of curiosity flashed in He Xi's azure eyes.
"what way?"
Lin Ci stared into her eyes and said, word by word.
"I need you... to die."
"Then, I will take your soul away."
The entire palace fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
The air seemed to freeze.
Either of these two words is enough to send a chill down the spine of any living being.
Lin Ci thought he would see shock, fear, or even a trace of doubt in He Xi's eyes.
After all, it sounds too far-fetched and unbelievable.
However, he saw nothing.
He Xi's eyes remained clear, still filled with complete trust in him.
She didn't even ask why.
She simply looked at him, and then, with all her might, flashed a radiant smile once more.
"I am willing."
These three simple words carry more weight than any oath in the universe.
Lin Ci's heart skipped a beat.
He had prepared countless explanations to tell her.
This is the only way to quickly restore her strength, and even make her stronger, enough to deter space from attacking your ideas.
He wanted to tell her that by becoming his spirit, she would gain half of his power and become truly immortal.
But at this moment, all the words were stuck in his throat.
Faced with such pure trust, any explanation seems pale and powerless.
He couldn't help but speak up.
"I did this so that you would have the power to fight against space..."
A cool, soft finger gently touched his lips.
She braced her weak body and tried to get closer to him.
Those deep eyes held a tenderness that could melt anything.
"You don't need to explain."
Her voice was soft, with a slightly hoarse quality that was heartbreaking.
"I believe everything you say."
"I will always believe in you."
Lin Ci could no longer utter a single word.
He suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
Ten thousand years of waiting and longing have transformed into this absolute trust that transcends life and death at this moment.
"It won't hurt."
He whispered a promise in her ear.
He Xi nodded in his arms, her body completely relaxing.
She felt no fear of death whatsoever.
Yes, there was only an unprecedented peace, and the anticipation of soon becoming one with the one I love.
Lin Ci gently picked her up and carried her slowly to the large, soft cloud bed, where he carefully laid her down.
He gently tidied her disheveled silver hair and smoothed the wrinkles in her pajamas, his movements as tender as if he were handling a rare treasure.
He Xi lay on the bed, quietly watching him.
Looking at everything he did for me.
Unbeknownst to her, a single, glistening tear slid down her cheek.
Those weren't tears of sadness.
"I'm ready."
She spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of relief.
Chapter 158 Karl: Did I get slapped hard?
Lin Ci's hand gently stroked He Xi's cold cheek.
He is ready.
A destructive energy began to gather in his palm.
