The water splashed softly.

There was none of the earth-shattering commotion they had imagined.

Li Yifei merely raised a hand, and an invisible force of Space Power enveloped Dugu Yan, lowering her slowly into the spring where red and blue met.

The force was gentle yet steady. It not only kept her from struggling violently in panic, but also ensured that her body would face the coming transformation in the most stable state possible.

The next second.

Sizzle~!

A sound so faint it was almost imperceptible, yet so terrifying it was beyond measure.

Dugu Yan's clothes vanished in an instant. There was not even a process of turning to ash—they were directly broken down, annihilated, and completely erased from space.

A flawless, exquisitely curved body, fairer than snow and unreservedly exposed, appeared in the spring—and in the constantly shaking livestream camera.

The Group Chat fell silent for three seconds.

Then, it erupted completely!

[World's Number One Princess: Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!! They're gone! They're really gone! Look away! Look away! But I can't control my hands! Screenshot! Screenshot like crazy!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: Hiss~ That figure~ Even I, a woman, am getting stu— No, wait! That's not the point! Aaaahhhhh!]

[Little Fox Demon: Th-this is the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye? That's terrifying! Then if it were a person~]

Before Hu Liena could finish speaking, Dugu Yan's body in the livestream suddenly tensed.

"Ughah~!"

An agonized groan, suppressed to the extreme, squeezed out from the depths of her throat.

It was not a shrill scream. It sounded more like a tremor erupting from the depths of her soul as her body endured a burden far beyond its limits.

Red and blue streams of light raced wildly across her skin. Her flesh was not dissolving; rather, the two extreme energies of ice and fire, guided by the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb, were being forcibly poured into every limb and bone in the most tyrannical, most thorough manner possible. They shattered her mortal meridians and reforged her flesh and blood!

Every inch of skin and every bone was undergoing a cycle of tearing apart and reconstruction.

The livestream camera shook violently along with her trembling. The image was blurry and indistinct, revealing only the vague outline of a body rising and sinking amid ice and fire, accompanied by unceasing, heart-wrenching moans of pain.

[A Little Goose: It hurts~ It hurts so much~ Brother Yifei~ I-I can't hold on anymore~]

Dugu Yan's chaotic thoughts sent out fragmented cries for help in the Group Chat.

[World's Number One Princess: Brother Yifei! Think of something, quick! Turn around and look! Yanzi can't hold on much longer!]

[Bunny Is So Cute: Sob sob sob~ She's so pitiful~ Brother Yifei, please save Sister Yanzi!]

With his back to the boiling spring, Li Yifei watched the flood of pleas and accusations on the Wristwatch projection. His expression remained calm, though a trace of helplessness flashed through his heart.

Turn around?

What could I do by turning around? Comfort her with words?

He grumbled inwardly.

With genetic remodeling at this level, pain was an inevitable price.

Any form of outside interference would only disrupt the balance of energy, causing all her previous efforts to go to waste—or even making her explode and die on the spot.

Turning around was merely meant to soothe the little girl's nearly collapsing sense of shame, so that her mind would not break down first and affect the subsequent physical transformation.

Did they really think that just because I turned my back, I couldn't see anything?

Mental scans, energy-field feedback, the Smartwatch's high-precision monitoring of vital signs—he had a hundred ways to "see" everything happening here, and every single one was ten thousand times clearer and more accurate than direct observation with the naked eye.

A bunch of naive little girls.

[Vital signs fluctuating violently. Cellular structure is undergoing high-intensity energy replacement...] [Mental power threshold has reached its critical point. Signs of willpower collapse are beginning to appear...]

The stream of data projected by the Wristwatch saw more clearly than anyone's eyes ever could.

He watched it all calmly, like an experienced surgeon observing a high-risk operation that nevertheless had to be performed.

The patient's wails and the family's tears could not make him waver in the slightest.

Because he understood that any softheartedness at this moment would be the greatest irresponsibility toward life itself.

True gentleness was not cheap consolation.

It was ensuring that she could leave this "operating table" alive.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong gripped the armrest tightly. Watching the figure tortured by pain and that cold, indifferent back, the flame called jealousy in her heart strangely subsided somewhat.

She suddenly understood.

That man was not tormenting her. He was granting her rebirth.

A rebirth she herself had never obtained, even after exhausting her entire life and giving up everything.

That realization left her feeling more defeated and powerless than a simple crushing disparity in strength ever could.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue's breathing grew heated.

From that indifferent back, she read an absolute confidence and control.

"He knows the outcome... He knew from the very beginning what the outcome would be."

"So all the pain and struggle during the process are merely necessary steps toward that perfect result in his calculations."

That posture of seeing through everything and controlling everything was the true "divinity" in her eyes.

Within the valley.

Dugu Yan's consciousness had begun to blur, and the trembling of her body gradually weakened.

She felt herself sinking into an endless, icy darkness.

[World's Number One Princess: She's stopped moving! Why isn't she moving?! Don't tell me...]

[Ghost Cat: Her life force... is rapidly fading.]

Just as the Group Chat fell into dead silence and everyone believed tragedy had already struck.

The man who had kept his back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye finally moved.

"Almost there."

Li Yifei murmured softly.

He sensed that both Dugu Yan's body and will had been tempered to the brink of collapse.

That was the limit a mortal body could endure.

And also... the best time for a miracle to descend.

He still did not turn around.

He merely slowly raised his right hand.

Then, before everyone in the Group Chat, a droplet of liquid appeared out of thin air at the tip of his index finger.

It was a green droplet beyond description.

It seemed to contain the life of the entire world in concentrated form. The glow it gave off even eclipsed the red and blue radiance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye itself.

Simply looking at it made one feel as if their parched soul was being nourished.

He flicked his finger.

That drop of "Water of Life" traced a perfect arc through the air, falling soundlessly and precisely toward the dying girl who was about to sink to the bottom of the spring.

The emerald liquid drew an almost imperceptible curve through the air before plunging precisely into the red-and-blue intertwined spring.

There was no sound, no ripple.

Like a drop of ink falling into the ocean, it dissolved in an instant.

But the next second, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye froze still.
