Obsession

Originally, he had long since lost his strong obsession with the God King position over the long years.

Countless attempts and setbacks led him to gradually give up on this unattainable pursuit amidst exhaustion and disappointment, believing that he would never be able to attain the God King position in his lifetime.

However, fate is always full of unexpected twists and turns. After a dark period, Yun Xi made a wish to him and paid the price of a precious Red Crystal.

And it was precisely because of this that he was only one step away from becoming the God King position.

But this seemingly insignificant distance is like an insurmountable chasm.

You have to understand that he has gone through countless hardships and trials to get to where he is today.

With success just one step away, how could he possibly be willing to give up?

Therefore, no matter how great the cost, he was determined to get his hands on the last Red Crystal he needed, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

When Yun Xi saw the simple words "I do," she deeply felt the determination of the Water God.

From another perspective, if the Water God only needs a single Red Crystal to exchange for a God King level protector, then without a doubt, this would be an extremely advantageous deal for Yun Xi.

This means that she will have a powerful ally with extraordinary abilities to protect her on her future path.

This was undoubtedly a win-win deal, so before the Water God Lin Yuan discussed this with Yun Xi, he didn't think she would refuse at all.

In his eyes, even if Yun Xi still had two or three Red Crystal, that number was far from enough to support her in successfully breaking through to the God King level in the future.

Given the reality, it would be better to hand over the Red Crystal to him, even if it's just one Red Crystal, in exchange for his full protection as a God King level being. Tell me, what kind of deal could be more worthwhile than this?

The same applies to the water god himself.

Because of the Red Crystal in Yun Xi's hand, he was able to extend his lifespan by as much as ten times.

Furthermore, within the entire Human God Domain, he became second only to the Chaos God King, becoming the number one person below the Chaos God King, and his strength and status were greatly enhanced.

With that thought in mind, Lin Yuan no longer hesitated and decided to tell Yun Xi everything.

He carefully explained all the pros and cons involved to Yun Xi, presenting all the circumstances without reservation, so that Yun Xi weigh the pros and cons and make a final decision herself.

As for whether Yun Xi had more Red Crystal that were enough to support her becoming God King level, Lin Yuan had never even considered that.

Because he knew perfectly well that it was absolutely impossible.

It should be noted that the rarity of Red Crystal far exceeds that of Purple Crystal in the Mortal Realm.

Although Purple Crystal is extremely rare, it is possible to find it by chance.

However, Red Crystal are quite different, because the Supreme Divine Realm, which produced Red Crystal, has been completely wiped out and disappeared into the long river of time. This means that the number of Red Crystal is almost constant and extremely rare, and obtaining new Red Crystal is practically a pipe dream.

From that time on, the world was known as "The Fall of a God." The extinction of the Red Crystal meant that no new God King level deity would ever be born.

This incredibly cruel reality, like a thick, dark cloud, pressed heavily over the entire divine realm, shrouding it in an inescapable gloom.

The gods' hopeful path of cultivation seemed to be ruthlessly severed in an instant, becoming rugged and difficult, leaving them without any clear direction.

For them, the road ahead is no longer a smooth one filled with light and hope, but one filled with endless uncertainty and confusion.

Of course, ordinary gods were unaware of all this.

After much deliberation, Yun Xi finally agreed.

She may have had some inner struggles and hesitations, after all, this was a major decision, but after weighing the pros and cons, she still made this choice firmly.

The moment she agreed, Lin Yuan couldn't wait to send her the System Contract he had prepared beforehand via the system email.

Just like sending messages in daily life requires Copper Coin, sending emails only requires the corresponding amount of currency, and the system will provide this service.

This scroll, which carried an important agreement— the System Contract scroll—was delivered to Yun Xi without any problems. With a somewhat solemn feeling, she opened it and examined it carefully.

The terms and conditions of the contract are clearly listed, each item is well-organized, and details the rights and obligations of both parties.

The Water God Lin Yuan has already signed his name.

Yun Xi carefully checked each word and sentence, not overlooking any detail. After repeatedly confirming that everything was correct, she picked up the pen and steadily signed her name.

In that instant, a mysterious and powerful force was activated, and the contract took effect.

The irresistible binding force from the system acted like an invisible bond, tightly connecting her and Lin Yuan together.

After learning how precious the Red Crystal was, Yun Xi finally understood why the system had provided her with such powerful Soul Guardian.

One Red Crystal —that's quite a price to pay.

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, filled with doubt. She wondered how many Red Crystal the mysterious entity behind the system would require to lower itself so much and expend so much energy to provide Yun Xi with soul protection, all in exchange for Red Crystal.

Yun Xi's heart was filled with endless doubts and intense curiosity.

Her mind was churning with all sorts of questions, her thoughts a jumbled mess. But she was also very clear that with her current strength and position, trying to explore the hidden secrets behind the system was simply a pipe dream, an impossible task.

Right now, what's more crucial and urgent for her is to focus on the contract she made with the water god Lin Yuan.

In addition, she also had to think about how to become stronger faster in the divine realm and achieve her own development and growth.

In the realm of the gods, every step requires careful consideration, and every decision can affect the course of her destiny.

While pondering this, Yun Xi quickly sent a Red Crystal to the Water God via email.
