"Let's do it soon,"

Ling Xi said thoughtfully, "Besides, we probably can't make it too grand. After all, Sushang, you know Fu Hua's identity. If we reveal it, it will only bring us trouble, so..."

Ling Xi spoke to Li Sushang in the gentlest tone possible, "How about the three of us getting married? If you think it's not lively enough, Sushang, then..."

Ling Xi smiled and added, "After we get married at home, we can hold a second ceremony at the Memory Sword Manor, is that alright?"

Ling Xi understood Li Sushang's thoughts; after all, she certainly wanted to make it a grand affair, letting more people know about it, but...

If we do that, then the only option is a wedding with Li Sushang. As for the Immortal... that's impossible!

Because of what happened ten years ago, Mount Tai Xu has finally become so quiet, and the Immortal has finally ushered in a leisurely life. If she were to make a high-profile appearance in the world now, she would definitely be annoyed to death in the future.

Therefore, Ling Xi only wanted the three of them to have a simple wedding. Of course, if Li Sushang wanted it, he could hold one with her at the Memory Sword Manor, but the one at the Memory Sword Manor could only be Li Sushang.

But Ling Xi certainly wouldn't treat Fu Hua unfairly. Keeping everything simple now is for convenience, and when the material conditions are sufficient in the future, they will have a grand wedding!

However, there might not be just three people by then, after all...

Well, Ling Xi just counted a few times and then realized that the current number of people... even if they duo queue every day, the number of rounds in a week is not enough!

Forget it, it's five hundred years from now anyway. I can figure out a solution slowly over these five hundred years. There's always a way out!

"Mmm... okay."

Li Sushang had no objection to Ling Xi's suggestion, since Ling Xi had already made it very clear and had taken everyone's feelings into consideration.

"Sushang, this is just a preliminary plan."

Seeing that Li Sushang did not refuse, Ling Xi smiled and said, "Let's discuss the follow-up later. Anyway... how about we have a proper discussion after I return from this mission?"

"Okay!"

Li Sushang nodded earnestly, smiling happily, "Master, then we'll wait for you to come back at home. When you come back... we'll get married, okay?"

"Puff..."

Ling Xi immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then...

"Not good!"

As a transmigrator, Ling Xi had no desire to set a flag that would mean certain death if she went out!

"Hehe..."

Li Sushang seemed to have sensed something as well, but just chuckled and said, "Then... Master, come back soon. Let's talk about the wedding after you get back. Come on, Master, let's eat! Eat a few more pounds!"

Ling Xi "..."

Go ahead and breastfeed me as much as you want...

Chapter 594: This time, I traded one for one with the Divine Key!

The next day, Ling Xi flew to the East Sea on his sword again, and then, following the location sent by Little Klein the day before, successfully arrived at the location of Star of Eden.

Although Ling Xi could see the black vortex ahead from more than ten nautical miles away, the Star of Eden had not yet fully returned to this world, but it had already begun to affect the surrounding space.

"Hmm, it's alright, the gravity is rather weak..."

Ling Xi sensed it for a moment and felt that this wave should be secure. After all, even Herrscher couldn't kill Star of Eden at normal power, so how could it pose a threat to him?

"Beep beep..."

Suddenly, the communication connection was established.

"Ling Xi, it seems you've arrived at the designated location."

Using satellite positioning, Little Klein could easily determine Ling Xi's location.

"Um!"

Ling Xi nodded silently and said, "But Xiao Ke, are you sure Star of Eden hasn't returned to our world yet? I can clearly feel the surrounding space being drawn in."

"Yes."

Little Klein calmly stated, "The space where Star of Eden is located has not yet been completely swallowed, so Star of Eden itself still exists in another space. However, its gravity has begun to distort reality. If we were to bring it back to our space, then..."

"Its third velocity escape range is about 200 kilometers. After one day, due to the expansion of mass, this range will reach 300 kilometers, and on the third day it will reach 600 kilometers. About a week later, the entire Earth will be enveloped, and after another week, the Earth will completely disappear!"

Ling Xi "..."

"So fast?"

Ling Xi found the story increasingly absurd. Luckily, she had woken up during that time; otherwise, the world might have been destroyed!

Indeed, the butterfly effect is terrifying!

However, Ling Xi suddenly thought of a question and asked, "According to the rate at which Star of Eden devours, shouldn't it have finished devouring the other space long ago? Why has it taken more than four thousand years to devour it?"

There are two reasons!

Little Klein explained, "First, the speed at which Black Hole devours objects increases proportionally. It starts out small, but it multiplies over time. Second... which is what I'm about to tell you, and it's also very important to you."

"Um?"

Ling Xi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What is it?"

"Ling Xi, you should know about the Black Hole effect and the time dilation theory, right?"

Little Klein. slowly explained, "Because Black Hole devour everything, including light, and the closer an object is to the speed of light, the slower its relative time will be. In other words..."

"In our view, it took four thousand years for the Star of Eden to devour another space, but in reality, for that space, it may have only been a few hours or minutes."

"Relativity, right..."

Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully. Although she had mainly been learning Gene Science from the Doctor, that didn't mean she didn't understand relativity, so...

"Klein, you mean..."

Ling Xi suddenly realized something: the closer an object gets to Black Hole, the faster its speed increases, while the flow of time slows down. So, wouldn't that mean...?

If you were to get close to Black Hole, one minute of your time might be equivalent to several days, months, or even... hundreds of years in the outside world!

"Yes."

Little Klein knew Ling Xi understood his meaning and said, "Ling Xi, after you perished together with Chiyou last time, perhaps it wasn't 4200 years before you were resurrected, but rather because... time was slowed down in the space you were in, therefore..."

"Your resurrection might only take a few minutes or days, but in normal space, 4200 years would have passed!"

Ling Xi: "..." This is ridiculous...

"If I take back Star of Eden this time, how much time will pass in the real world?"

Ling Xi now understood why Klein had said this was a very important question for him, because... this question really was important!

Black Hole... time acceleration. Who knows, after I reclaim Star of Eden, hundreds or even thousands of years might have passed in the real world!

"I'm not sure about that, because the flow of time is different in different regions of Black Hole!"

Little Klein shook his head and said, "For example, at the center of Black Hole, time is almost stopped. However, the Black Hole formed by Star of Eden is not a true Black Hole, so it naturally cannot achieve that level of stability, but..."

"If calculated at the maximum flow rate, the time flow rate in the core area of Star of Eden is approximately one hundred years per minute, so... that's why I suggested you finish it within five minutes."

Ling Xi "..."

Why didn't you mention this problem yesterday?

Ling Xi seemed somewhat helpless. She thought that retrieving Star of Eden would be a simple task, but she didn't expect... there were so many pitfalls involved!

The time dilation effect, in particular, is absolutely awful!

"Feel sorry..."

Little Klein lowered his head and said softly, "Because I didn't think the power of Star of Eden at normal power could achieve this effect before. I only just discovered it myself. Ling Xi, can you check the time with me?"

As she spoke, two holographic images popped up in front of Ling Xi's eyes, and then Ling Xi realized that her time was now five seconds behind the time at headquarters...

"Ling Xi, if you're unwilling, then we can take another approach!"

At that moment, Little Klein. declared righteously, "Awaken the Doctor!"

Ling Xi: "..." You're copying me, aren't you?

Ling Xi was about to say something, but then...

"Sizzle sizzle... dudududu..."

Little Klein has vanished, and communications have been cut off...

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Before Ling Xi could react, he suddenly realized that the sky... had darkened. This was because all the light in the surrounding space was rushing towards the black dot in front of him. This was...

"Oh no, it seems the return of Star of Eden has been brought forward..."

Seeing this, how could Ling Xi not know what had happened? Although the safest course of action now would be to leave the area and consult with Little Klein, but...

No, it's too late!

Ling Xi flew directly towards the center of the wormhole. As long as he could retrieve Star of Eden, this disaster would be over!

Because Little Klein instructed him that he only had five minutes, Ling Xi had absolutely no time to waste. Enduring the incredibly strong gravity around him, he recklessly moved closer to the center of the wormhole. Star of Eden, it's right here, give it to me...

Touch!

Staring at the powerful gravitational pull, Ling Xi felt her speed incredibly slow, but she still stretched out her right hand, and finally...

Ling Xi successfully touched the Star of Eden...

Then...

Ling Xi's hand shattered and disappeared...

Ling Xi "..." "Protruding!"

Holy crap, Little K, you tricked me! You said I could handle it...

"Give me... a recycling!"

So, Ling Xi leaned against the Star of Eden once more, but her body kept disappearing, until finally...

The moment I touched the Star of Eden!

Recycle!

Almost reflexively, Ling Xi put it into the System Space. Finally, Star of Eden disappeared, the wormhole disappeared, and everything... returned to peace. But Ling Xi... seemed to have disappeared too?

Chapter 595: The Truth, and Sirin's First Encounter?

"Oh, there are even test subjects. Where did they come from?"

"Didn't I pick this up when I went out a few days ago? You don't know, this little guy was able to survive in an environment with such Honkai Energy intensity. He is definitely an excellent test subject."

"Is there any problem with where it came from?"

"Don't worry, we're in charge here, and do you really think any test subject will leave here alive?"

The conversation around her woke Ling Xi up; she felt... a little dizzy.

When Ling Xi opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a white laboratory. Her hands and feet were fixed to the experimental table, and the conversation she had just heard came from the two researchers in white coats next to her.

"Hmm? You're awake?"

One of the researchers saw that Ling Xi had actually woken up and smiled slightly. "Looks like this thing is effective after all. It managed to wake him up even though he had been unconscious for several days."

"Let's take him back now that he's awake. He can participate in the experiment tomorrow!"

Another researcher offered a suggestion.

"Yes, guard, take him back, and remember to keep a close eye on him."

The first person readily agreed and immediately ordered the guards to send Ling Xi back.

Ling Xi: "..." Good grief, have I become a guinea pig again? This is definitely a perfect match for my profession!

However, I'm just the Doctor's guinea pig. Those two, just disappear...

Ling Xi instinctively wanted to use Honkai Energy these two to kneel down!

Ling Xi: "???"

Damn, where's my Honkai Energy?

Ling Xi was immediately bewildered, because when she tried to awaken the Honkai Energy within her, she received no response. She had experienced this same feeling when she first met Yingyingying. Could it be...?
