Ji Lin Reborn, Chi You Destroyed (Continued)

Rather than sparing Chi You's life for this reason, it would be better to eliminate him directly to avoid future troubles.

"Don't give up! Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, never give up. I want to change this imperfect ending into the one I want—this is what my dearest teacher taught me."

"Bai Ge..."

"Don't worry, the real you can still be saved. Besides, Ji Lin, you've seen my strength. If Chi You dares to act recklessly again, I'll just finish him off with one more sword strike."

Bai Ge tapped the blades of his sword Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, against Surtr's. Although those two attacks weren't exactly normal attacks, he could still unleash them five or six more times.

Most importantly, he knew the plot and knew that Ji Lin was still in Chi You's body and there was still a possibility of saving him. If that was the case, then giving up like this would not be in line with his will.

"Bai Ge, who exactly were you just now?"

"Should we banish it to the Sea of Quantum now?"

At the same time, Mei and Welt also arrived.

The former's eyes held a clear look of admiration.

The latter looked at him with awe.

"You've come at the right time. I'm about to enter Chi You's body. Mei Welt, you two keep an eye on things outside and make sure this guy doesn't recover."

"Save someone? The person being saved from Chi You's body is Ji Lin, the Yellow Emperor sealed Chi You five thousand years ago?!"

Welt looked surprised. He always found himself surprised when Bai Ge was around. This boy was always so good at doing things that surprised people.

Mei didn't know much about the legends of Shenzhou Mei, and she held Bai Ge's hand with concern.

"Don't worry, Mei, I'll be right back. Besides, I'm a Shenzhou person, you know." (Although this Shenzhou isn't my home.)

"... Hehe, even if it were just an ordinary person, I believe Bai Ge would definitely go to save them. You are that kind of person."

Mei gave a helpless smile.

Doesn't she understand this person's character? Saving people doesn't need a reason for him.

Bai Ge paused for a moment, then raised his hand to touch the girl's hair and kissed the horn on Mei's head.

"I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

(I was going to kiss her forehead, but Mei's cheeks are poking me...)

Bai Ge arrived in front of the dying Chi You, kicked open its enormous, all-consuming maw, and rushed inside.

Chi You's body burned fiercely, but the flames of the Herrscher of Flamescion could illuminate this darkness.

After rushing for a long time, Bai Ge sighed. The space of Chi You's body was so vast that it seemed to have no boundaries. He even saw many island-like landmasses floating in this space.

"Ji Lin, could these be..."

"That's right, the land of Shenzhou was devoured by this beast five thousand years ago."

"What a damned beast! Tsk! I'd better hurry up and find them. Let me sense the direction of Chi You's 'Ti Que Mou Lan'... It's in this direction!!"

According to his memories from his previous life, Bai Ge remembered that the giant beast Chi You had three cores, two of which were sealed by Cang Xuan and Zhu Dan sacrificing their lives five thousand years ago.

The remaining core, or main heart, was sealed away by Ji Lin using his Xuanyuan Sword.

Relying on his Herrscher- level Honkai Energy perception, Bai Ge quickly identified the direction of the heart and immediately rushed towards it.

He arrived at his destination shortly afterward.

It was a dark red ground platform, and the huge purple crystal floating on the platform was Chi You's heart. The Honkai Energy fluctuations emanating from it were even comparable to those of a Herrscher.

When Bai Ge arrived, a voice appeared out of nowhere in his mind, and it was the same female voice he had heard when he pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword earlier.

"The one chosen by the Honkai is also the one who freed me from the thousand-year seal. I don't want to kill you, but if you insist on coming here to die, then I have no choice but to grant your wish."

"So this is really the voice I'm talking about."

The next second, a girl riding a black warhorse suddenly appeared before Bai Ge. (See image)

The girl's skin, which should have been rosy, was as pale as a corpse. Her once gentle right neck was now stained with a tyrannical golden hue.

Most of her ornate hair ornaments had vanished, and her beautiful hair had been cut off. The chaos within the red jewel on her forehead represented her impending doom.

She has the exact same appearance as Ji Lin (bbfe) from the Xuanyuan Sword, but their temperaments are completely opposite.

If I had to describe it, it would be like light and darkness, gold and black, White Seele and Dark Seele.

But the unfathomable malice, resentment, and despair were beyond even Dark Seele's reach.

Why have you become like this?

Ji Lin's remnant soul reappeared, and she looked at her other self with disbelief, pity, and compassion.

She's still alive, she really is still alive.

But perhaps from another perspective, she is already dead.

The girl who was originally brave and kind, who sealed Chi You with her own body, has now become such a dark and desperate figure.

"Why did it come to this? For thousands of years, I have been suffering alone in endless darkness in this cold, lonely place where I can't see a single ray of light. I have fallen into this state. Now, only hatred remains in my heart, hatred for what I once protected!"

Ji Lin said this, her tone filled with madness, sorrow, despair, and resentment.

She held a black Xuanyuan Sword and pointed it at Bai Ge.

It was as if they were considering how to kill him.

"So that's how it is. In fact... Chi You was acting according to your will just now, wasn't he?"

"Yes, that's right, you're a very smart boy."

Ji Lin readily admitted.

In fact, Chi You's consciousness had already been erased a long time ago. After all, even Judgment-Class Honkai Beast cannot maintain its self for thousands of years.

The consciousness of a beast is inherently less resilient than that of a human.

Ji Lin, who personally entered Chi You's body and sealed him from the inside, did not lose consciousness.

But Chi You's enormous body

It also became a prison to imprison Ji Lin.

Immersed in the millennia of sealing away Chi You, devoid of hope, warmth, and even a glimmer of light, the lonely girl's life slowly crumbled, transforming her into Ji Lin's dark figure.

How cruel fate can be.

Chi You's colossal body transformed into a cage that imprisoned Ji Lin for five thousand years.

Ji Lin's will, now corrupted by darkness, also took control of this Judgment-Class Honkai Beast, which was now just a shell.

The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself.

At this moment, only hatred remained in Ji Lin's heart.

She seeks revenge, revenge against what she once protected!

Upon sensing her dark will, Chi You, now only a shell, reacted, immediately rising to the surface after the seal was broken, intending to take revenge on this world.

"The Ji Lin of the past no longer exists. I am now just a vengeful spirit seeking revenge on the world. Your problems are over, right? Now you can die in peace."

Ji Lin pulled on the reins, and her black warhorse immediately charged towards Bai Ge, while the black Xuanyuan Sword, filled with murderous intent, also thrust forward.

Bai Ge lifted Surtr to block the stab, but did not launch a further counterattack.

His actions made Ji Lin frown.

"It seems you really want to die."

"I'm just confirming."

"What's there to confirm!"

Ji Lin Hei once again swung his sword down with all his might.

Having endured thousands of years of solitude, the Xuanyuan Sword, stained black by the loneliness of a young girl, possesses not only powerful Honkai Energy but also Ji Lin's despairing emotions.

Bai Ge seemed to be enduring and savoring her despair, catching her sword strikes again and again.

Clang!

He easily blocked the sword aimed straight at his chest.

Clatter!

He easily dodged the kick that came from the warhorse.

Whoosh!

He caught the sword energy released by the sweeping attack with his hands.

"Enough, that's enough, Bai Ge. Please kill this 'me,' please."

Ji Lin's remnant soul inside the Xuanyuan Sword said, unable to bear the sight.

In her eyes, the reason Bai Ge didn't fight back was because he still believed that he, who had fallen into darkness, could be saved, or because he was the ancestor of the Shenzhou people.

Ji Lin on the opposite side seemed to be enraged by his attitude, and the black-clad girl on the warhorse shouted.

"Why not fight back! I don't need your sympathy, nor do I need your salvation. If you don't kill me, Chi You, influenced by my will, will continue to take revenge on the world!"

"... Is it really revenge?"
