"In the future, an Eternal One interfered with Gui Ling's life and sent her to the present."
Li Pin had confirmed it. "It was only that, for certain special reasons—or perhaps because the underlying logic of an intelligent life-form could not adapt to the changes of the era—she malfunctioned, and a vast amount of the data in her database became directly unusable."
It was like bringing a computer back to ancient times, where there was no internet and no way to charge it. That computer would be nothing more than an exquisite ornament.
But now...
Li Pin looked at Gui Ling, whose aura had changed so noticeably that even he could sense it.
He would not say she had been connected to the internet, but at the very least, she had been charged.
He waited patiently.
And Gui Ling did not make him wait long.
Before long, the intelligent life-form before Li Pin—perhaps her main body...
Or perhaps she now counted as an incarnation—opened her eyes once more.
Looking at her, Li Pin could clearly sense that her gaze had become far more "lively."
It was a feeling...
That could not be described in words.
But she had indeed become more lively now.
As though she had been reborn.
"Congratulations."
Li Pin offered his congratulations.
"Thank you."
Gui Ling inclined her head slightly. "Without your guidance, I could not have awakened."
"Has your database recovered?"
Li Pin immediately asked.
"I was already severely damaged after experiencing an intense battle. I cannot display my complete state, so I can only recover selectively for now."
As Gui Ling spoke, she looked at Li Pin. "I know what you most want to ask, but I fear the final answer will disappoint you."
"You did not see that Eternal One?"
Li Pin's pupils contracted.
