Leaving the Memories Behind; Acheron's Forced Kiss [First Update] (Continued)

However, Ji Yuan did not look too disappointed; on the contrary, he looked at these creatures with great joy.

"Well, at least there's food."

Even if the creatures you created die, you can't let them go to waste.

"You're going to eat these?" Yomikawa raised an eyebrow, looking at the fallen creatures. What did Ji Yuan use to create these creatures? Sand, stones, steel, and so on.

Is it really safe to eat organisms formed in this way?

Even the Yomikawa felt a sense of absurdity at this moment.

"I prepared these creatures beforehand; they are all edible." Ji Yuan then picked up a dark creature, tore off its skin to reveal the white flesh inside.

He put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Seeing the juice in his mouth, Yomikawa was also tempted. She followed Ji Yuan's example and picked up the dark creature, then ate the pulp inside.

Hmm, it tastes pretty good.

Yomikawa then picked up the remaining carcasses and said to Ji Yuan, "I'll cook these foods."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

At this moment Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that Yomikawa's name was Raiden Mei instead of Raiden Movie. If it were the latter name, even if he were given Aha's courage, Ji Yuan wouldn't dare to eat her cooking.

"Um."

Yomikawa then tied up her loose hair, looking even more like a wife than before. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, her expression gentle, and she rolled up her sleeves as she cut food. Ji Yuan could tell just by looking at her that the food would definitely taste delicious.

And indeed, his guess was right. Soon, Yomikawa made an extremely delicious soup and roast meat.

Dividing the food into two portions, Yomikawa handed one to Ji Yuan: "Here, have a taste. I don't know if my taste suits you."

Ji Yuan took a bite and instantly felt a sensation of deliciousness transmitted to his taste buds. Although the traditional cooking methods of Izumo the Celestial Ark Alliance, Yomikawa had transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary, making Ji Yuan unable to resist taking several more bites.

"It's really delicious."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but speak to Yomikawa.

"Yes, I'm glad you like it." Yomikawa smiled.

The two quickly finished their food. After they finished eating, Ji Yuan planned to help Yomikawa clear the table. However, Yomikawa took the initiative and collected all the tableware first.

"You should go do your own thing. I'll handle the rest."

Her movements were swift, giving Ji Yuan no chance to intervene, and she directly urged Ji Yuan to create new life.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan had no choice but to pick up the equipment and begin creating life forms that could resist the erosion of the void.

Yomikawa washed the kitchen utensils clean, and after finishing, she returned to Ji Yuan's side, kneeling and watching Ji Yuan actions. The abilities of life science were too profound for Yomikawa to fully comprehend.

All she could see was Ji Yuan constantly striving.

He was proving to himself that he could forge a new path.

Within his life-creating device, which resembled a rice cooker, life forms emerged one by one, and then resisted the erosion of nothingness.

However, just like the creatures created before, these new lives were also swallowed up and disappeared by nothingness.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground.

At this moment, Ji Yuan was also deeply lost in thought.

The erosion of nothingness is too intense; any life that appears in this Remembrance will be completely affected by nothingness and will eventually perish.

The ultimate fate of all living beings is death, and once death occurs, everything that has happened before becomes meaningless. Life has no meaning, only nothingness...

What exactly constitutes existence?

All things that exist will eventually disappear and ultimately vanish into nothingness.

Ji Yuan then created a new group of creatures.

These creatures inherit the Remembrance of their ancestors from generation to generation, and also possess an extremely rapid reproductive capacity. Can such inheritance withstand a moment of nothingness?

He didn't expect this to resist the void; he just wanted to see if his approach could lessen the erosion of the void.

However, his idea soon fell through.

Those newborn lives soon died.

After briefly calculating the survival time, Ji Yuan muttered to himself, "From birth to death, it didn't exceed fifteen minutes. This kind of creature with inherited Remembrance still hasn't shown a survival time that surpasses other creatures."

He has already tried dozens of methods, but still hasn't found the right path.

He was still thinking about what to do next when the aroma of food wafted into his nose again.

Ji Yuan turned his head and saw Yomikawa handing him a bowl of food.

She smiled like a married woman.

"It's time to eat again, Ji Yuan, you should eat first."

"...good."

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then took the food and began to eat. Yomikawa also ate beside him. As she ate, she watched Ji Yuan's slightly disheveled appearance, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.

After finishing his meal, Yomikawa didn't rush to wash the dishes. He simply put the utensils aside, looked at Ji Yuan earnestly, and asked, "Ji Yuan, do you want to continue eating after you're done?"

"Certainly."

Ji Yuan did not hesitate at all.

"Hmm." Yomikawa nodded slightly, seeing that Ji Yuan hadn't given up. Then she grabbed Ji Yuan and pressed his head against her thigh. Ji Yuan's strength was far inferior to Yomikawa's, and he was pinned down without resistance.

"Take a good rest before continuing to create life."

"This..." Ji Yuan instinctively wanted to get up and continue rolling, but Yomikawa's fingers pressed on the back of his head, and she said in a gentle, wifely voice, "If you want to get up, I'll just knock you out with my hand."

Ji Yuan: "..."

Why do you speak such harsh words in such a gentle voice?

Faced with this, Ji Yuan had no choice but to make a gesture of surrender.

"I surrender, I surrender, I'll just go to sleep now, okay?"

"Um."

Yomikawa nodded in satisfaction.

Ji Yuan then rested with his head on Yomikawa's lap.

Yomikawa, meanwhile, was staring intently at Ji Yuan's experiment.

She had seen many people resist the void before, but without exception, they only temporarily alleviated the void's erosion of them. No one could escape the shadow of the Aeon of Nihility 'IX'.

But looking at Ji Yuan's handsome face lying on her lap, Yomikawa sensed an unusual vitality emanating from him. His presence was striking even in this land tainted by nothingness.

Can he do it?

Or failure?

Yomikawa gripped the long sword in his hand tightly.

He wasn't one of those infected by the void; he fought against it entirely with his own burning passion. Yomikawa had already decided that if Ji Yuan showed any signs of being infected by the void, she would draw her sword and sever it all.

She had already fallen into the water; she absolutely could not let the people on the shore who were trying to save her fall in as well.

It is better to be unable to save oneself than to harm others.

Yomikawa reached out and gently stroked Ji Yuan's cheek.

About eight hours later, Ji Yuan woke up.

He rubbed his eyes, intending to conduct the experiment again. But just as he was about to begin, Yomikawa stopped him once more.

"Have a meal first, then do the experiment."

"Good."

Ji Yuan waited for Yomikawa to cook another meal before continuing his experiments.

In Yomikawa's Remembrance world, there seems to be no concept of time. Yomikawa always estimates the time to cook for Ji Yuan and then urges him to eat.

After finishing his three meals, Ji Yuan fell into a deep sleep again on Yomikawa's lap.

Yomikawa had been looking at him with gentle eyes the whole time, like a wife watching her husband leave for work, full of tenderness and anticipation. However, a wariness of emptiness remained in her eyes. But she concealed these worries and wariness very well, not wanting Ji Yuan to see them.

She only wanted to offer support to Ji Yuan in his current state.

With that thought in mind, she watched as the creatures that emerged from Ji Yuan's biological manufacturing machine died once again.

How many times has this happened?

Hundreds, or thousands...

I don't remember the details of the Yomikawa very well.

Her Remembrance wasn't so clear, but Ji Yuan, as a life scientist, remembered it very clearly.

"The 2,215th attempt failed; the method of infecting the surrounding area still yielded no results. Does this mean that nothing exists in the face of nothingness?"

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

No, that's impossible.

Ji Yuan absolutely did not believe that nothingness was predetermined, just as he did not believe that he was destined to die young.

My destiny must not be lost.

I am destined to exist.

The thousands of experiments he had conducted had left Ji Yuan feeling mentally exhausted, but his fear of his predetermined fate and his unwillingness to accept it invigorated him.

Ji Yuan's mind was racing.

Where there is nothingness, there must also be existence. What kind of existence lasts forever?

Even if their universe is destroyed, they will not be affected.

Ji Yuan thought of something else.

The Imaginary Tree.

The foundation that constitutes everything in the universe is filled with Imaginary Energy between galaxies, a existence even more mysterious than nothingness.

Can its existence resist nothingness?

Maybe!

Ji Yuan then thought of his conversation with his teacher Ruan Mei, about creatures made of Imaginary Energy, creatures that could rush into the Imaginary Tree.

No, simply entering the Imaginary Tree is not enough.

It must be able to leave an imprint on the Imaginary Tree.

The traces left by such a creature can endure as long as the Imaginary Tree; its traces will never disappear.

Its existence constitutes a part of existence itself. Even if the universe is destroyed and restarted, this trace will still exist alongside the imaginary number.

As long as it exists, it is not meaningless.

Is it difficult to create such a creature?

It's huge, incredibly huge, even bigger than I could ever imagine.

But it's not impossible.

If I think of that kind of creature, then it means that it must exist.

What doesn't exist in the past or present will exist in the future.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, his eyes filled with extreme excitement.

Yomikawa watched him from the side, feeling the dazzling presence emanating from Ji Yuan at this moment. Even the emptiness in her Remembrance seemed to recede at this moment.

He...

"I have an idea."

Ji Yuan said excitedly to Yomikawa.

"I'm telling you, there's no path in life that can't be changed. Listen to me, I'll lead you down a different path."
