Chapter 292

Seeing that Ai Yue didn't want to ask any further questions, Seele breathed a sigh of relief—after all, what she had experienced before was really... magical, and she couldn't tell Ai Yue about it.

Mr. Ai Yue must have guessed something, which is why he didn't ask any further questions, right?

Subsequently, through Ai Yue's account, Seele learned the details of what happened.

"... Therefore, we must ensure that this timeline does not deviate too much from the existing reality."

Ai Yue concluded by saying, "Therefore, I would like you to help me complete the observation timeline part, is that alright?"

"Actually, I didn't quite understand it yet,"

Seele looked a little embarrassed, then nodded firmly, "But this is for our own good, so I will definitely do my best!"

However, at this point, Seele looked somewhat conflicted. "But, can I really do it?"

Seele knew very well that although she had been training hard, her strength was still very weak. Ai Yue's "observation" was a very important responsibility, and she was naturally worried about what would happen if she messed it up.

"Don't worry, this is a problem I need to solve."

Ai Yue extended his hand, revealing a gentle smile, "So, would you like to become my Herrscher?"

Chapter Fifty-One: Lilies, Absolutely Stunning!

Ai Yue's idea was simple: although Seele was the best candidate for the Observer, her current strength was indeed insufficient to support this crucial responsibility. After all, the Observer needed to anchor a timeline spanning thousands of years. Even if the burden could be reduced through auxiliary means, it would still put enormous pressure on her mind and spirit.

Therefore, it is necessary to improve Seele's own attributes—and among all the methods that Ai Yue possesses, "Herrscher" is probably the most effective and immediate way.

Of course, Ai Yue wasn't without his own selfish motives—he knew that Seele would one day become Herrscher of the Sea of Quantum, so since she was going to become Herrscher anyway, why not give her a chance? She wasn't that bad either.

Faced with Ai Yue's invitation, Seele naturally had no reason to refuse.

However, just as she was about to place her hand on Ai Yue's hand, she suddenly paused and then withdrew her hand. "Wait, I have a problem with that."

Ai Yue raised an eyebrow immediately. "What's wrong? Are you worried?"

He knew, of course, that there was another consciousness within Seele, since the last time he saw her, it was this Seele who came out to face him.

However, the second Seele (let's call her Black Seele for now, as is customary) usually only appears when she thinks Seele needs protection. So when the personality switch occurs at this time, Ai Yue can only assume that she still has some wariness towards him.

"I'll take care of this kind of thing."

Black Seele didn't explain much, "I won't let Seele take such a risk."

"Then you're mistaken."

This time, Ai Yue didn't give the other party a chance to react and took Black Seele's hand. "When did I say I had to choose between the two?"

"Huh?"

While Black Seele was still in a daze, she sensed that the surrounding environment was changing rapidly.

The castle was collapsing silently, and cracks were spreading across the sky and the earth, as if the whole World Bubble.

However, behind that crack was not the chaotic scene unique to the Sea of Quantum. Instead, a warm, pure white light shone down on her, making the girl feel as if a powerful force was surging up from within her.

However, Black Seele was not blinded by this feeling; instead, she became even more vigilant. "What are you planning to do?"

"Of course, I'll take you back first."

As they spoke, Ai Yue's figure had vanished from the spot, and the surrounding environment was completely replaced by white light. In an instant, only Black Seele and Suo remained at the scene.

Looking at the woman before him, Black Seele warily drew his weapon and silently stared at her.

She might trust Ai Yue to some extent because of their past relationship, but a woman who looks like this should never get close to Seele!

"Don't worry, it's just that our My Lord is getting a little impatient."

So didn't care about Black Seele's obvious wariness, but she also had no intention of provoking her future colleague. So she just smiled and explained, "After all, the matter has been resolved, so naturally we should hurry back."

If two people could observe the light they are in from an outsider's perspective, they would discover that it is traveling through the Sea of Quantum at an astonishing speed.

Just as Suo said, Ai Yue now felt a strong urge to return home. After all, the person had been found, but there was no way to pinpoint the sender's location, so naturally he had no reason to stay here any longer.

Going back to advance the plan as soon as possible is what he should be doing right now.

Therefore, in order to quickly return to the real world, Ai Yue no longer concealed his power. At this moment, he was like a dump truck running at full power, rampaging through the Sea of Quantum, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

Terrifying energy fluctuations echoed in the Sea of Quantum, and this violent turbulence gave rise to countless powerful quantum creatures. They all rushed toward the light, trying to intercept it, but none of them could withstand Ai Yue's overwhelming power for even a moment.

But this seemingly domineering behavior also conceals a certain will of Ai Yue himself.

The pure white light spread silently in the Sea of Quantum, but was quickly obscured by the dark and chaotic nature of the Sea of Quantum. However, the light did not disappear; instead, it merged into the World Bubble floating in the sea, injecting new power into their maintenance.

As the light gradually faded into the distance, on the coordinates of a certain World Bubble that once existed, a vague outline was slowly emerging from the chaotic background.

"That's quite an incredible amount of power. Now I believe he really can do it."

"He could have done it, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to establish this connection."

"Really? I thought our actions were part of that ending too."

"Of course not. Even without our intervention, a miracle would have made up for everything—but doing this would make the ending more perfect, so we naturally have no reason to stand idly by, right?"

"Anyway, it's up to you... What's next?"

"From now on, I'll just relax and be a spectator."

As the sound faded into the distance, the outline that rose from the Sea of Quantum annihilation dimmed once more, without causing the slightest ripple.

It's as if... it is itself part of the Sea of Quantum.

Ai Yue was naturally unaware of such matters, as he was preoccupied with his own plans.

With this reckless, straight-line acceleration, the originally winding and circuitous journey was compressed by Ai Yue into less than three hundred seconds. Before Black Seele and Seele could even reach an agreement in their argument, the surrounding light dissipated once again.

This time, a completely new world appeared before her.

"Welcome to the Abyssal Eye, which is just a hair's breadth away from the real world."

Ai Yue's figure coalesced again in the light, and he smiled at Seele, saying, "So, are you ready to become Herrscher?"

"Wait, I haven't convinced Seele yet,"

Black Seele frowned, clearly engaged in a fierce internal struggle with another version of herself. "Why is this guy so stubborn..."

"You two are the same, so neither of you should criticize the other."

Ai Yue stepped forward and placed his hands on her shoulders. "In short, why don't we talk things out face to face?"

Black Seele paused for a moment, then awkwardly swayed her shoulders. "What do you mean 'the same'? I was clearly doing this for her own good. Also, don't touch... huh?"

Before she could finish her last sentence, it turned into a gasp of surprise, because at that moment, Black Seele suddenly felt something strange about her body.

She could no longer hear the other Seele's voice, and besides that, a strange feeling arose within her, a mixture of emptiness and satisfaction, two completely opposite feelings, that made her mind go haywire.

What's going on? What exactly happened?

From Suo's perspective, things are "clearer".

When Ai Yue placed his hands on the girl's shoulders, she saw a pure white light emanate from her body. Then, Ai Yue slowly pulled his hands apart, as if he were trying to stretch the girl out or tear her in two.

What's even stranger is that he actually did it.

As Ai Yue moved, the girl's body grew wider and wider, eventually becoming almost twice its original size. It was at this moment that the light began to dim, revealing its true form.

Ai Yue really "torn apart" the girl—but there was no bloody scene, and the girl changed from one to two.

They were identical in figure and appearance. The only difference was that, compared to the first Seele wore a blue and white dress, the second Seele's clothes, although the style was the same, were mainly black and red, giving her a more fiery temperament.

He actually "pulled" another Seele out of Seele's body.

What did you do?

Seele, dressed in a black and red dress, seemed to be unaware of her own changes. After her mind returned to normal, she reached out and grabbed Ai Yue's collar without hesitation, demanding, "Where's Seele? What have you done to Seele?!"

After being unable to hear the voice of her inner self, Black Seele visibly became panicked.

But at that moment, another hand reached out from the side and pressed on her shoulder.

"I'm here, Seele."

The owner of the hand spoke gently, but his tone betrayed an undisguised confusion, "But how could we..."

Black Seele turned her head in surprise and saw that familiar face looking at her with an expression of confusion mixed with joy. "Xi, Seele?"

She ignored Ai Yue and turned to reach out and rub the girl's face, as if to confirm the authenticity of the scene.

"Wait, wait, don't hit so hard!"

Faced with Black Seele's actions, Seele protested softly while trying to stop him, saying, "You're hurting me, Seele."

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself..."

Black Seele then released the other person in a daze, looked down at her own hand, and the realistic touch said it all. "It's not a dream... But how did I do that?"

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at the man before them—though they couldn't quite understand it yet, it was clear that the other was responsible for all of this.

"Just a simple exercise of power."

Ai Yue didn't take it to heart, but observed the two girls in front of him with great interest, who had gone from being one body with two souls to twins. "How do you feel? Is there anything you're not used to?"

"It's... it's good."

Seele smiled shyly, "Thank you, Mr. Ai Yue."

"No, wait, this isn't right!"

Meanwhile, Black Seele reacted and stood in front of Seele, shouting, "Quickly turn us back!"

"Why?"

The person who asked the question wasn't Ai Yue, but another Seele who was being shielded behind Black Seele. At that moment, she seemed to become brave, reaching out to press Black Seele's shoulder and making her turn around to face her. "Isn't this better? You should also have your own life!"

"I don't need that kind of thing!"

Black Seele shook her head, a hint of confusion and unease in her voice, "Doesn't this mean we're separated? If that's the case, I won't be able to protect you all the time!"

"That's not right, Seele. I know you've always thought we're one person."

In response to Black Seele's answer, Seele shook her head, "But that's not actually the case—we're family, Seele."

"You did not exist to protect me; you are another Seele, a complete person with your own will and thoughts."

Seeing the somewhat bewildered Black Seele, Seele smiled sincerely, "I've wanted to hold your hand like this for a long time."

Watching the two girls gazing into each other's eyes with genuine affection, Ai Yue smiled with great interest.

To be honest, Black Seele is indeed the kind of character with high offense and low defense. She looks tough, but she is always the weaker one when facing Seele. On the other hand Seele usually looks gentle and weak, but she is very strong inside and is often the one who is truly responsible for making decisions between the two.

In the usual way the plot unfolds, Black Seele is usually persuaded by Seele in the end, and while he says he can't do anything with her, he obediently helps her achieve her goal. However, even though he knows the ending, Ai Yue is still very interested in the process.

Ah, that's what makes the scene interesting!

"My Lord,"

Just then, Suo quietly leaned close to his ear and said, "Shouldn't we give them some space at this time?"

"What do you know?"

Ai Yue scoffed, "Isn't this scene interesting? Tell me honestly, do you want to see it?"

"Of course I want to!"

Suo reminded her, "But if you continue like this, won't it damage your image in their eyes?"

Considering the lofty image he had always cultivated, Ai Yue ultimately chose to maintain his persona over simply observing the drama, quietly giving the two of them some alone time.

However, he didn't have to wait long, because the two Seele quickly reached a consensus and shifted their attention back to what they needed to do next.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Mr. Ai Yue."

When Seele led Black Seele by the hand to Ai Yue knew that things were unfolding as usual. So, looking at Black Seele's awkward expression, he deliberately gave a subtle smile, "Oh, this Seele isn't being stubborn anymore?"

Who are you talking about—

Black Seele wanted to retort loudly, but she felt the other hand, with its fingers intertwined, suddenly tighten its grip. Not quite used to this way of being together, she blushed and turned her head away. "Hmph, this is just to fulfill Seele's wish!"

"I understand, I understand."

Ai Yue gave a teasing smile. "So, you should be ready, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Ai Yue."

Seele smiled and raised the hand that was intertwined with hers with Black Seele's, saying in a gentle yet firm tone, "Please let us become your Herrscher together!"
