Chapter 240
She and Daowu still have a ten-year promise; he can't just abandon her like this!
Lianxin didn't know why she could extend Li Yang's lifespan, but if worrying could extend her lifespan, then it would be too easy for Lianxin!
"However..." Li Yang slowly calmed down and hesitated, "I should be able to return directly to my body, thus escaping this Spatial Rift, but you..."
She asked Lianxin intently, "Can you get out by yourself? Or do you need the God King of Space to take you out?"
The flames that had been burning in Lianxin's heart gradually cooled down.
He hesitated and said, "I probably... won't be able to leave on my own."
Li Yang's heart sank, but she was never one to be defeated by difficulties; she would only face them head-on!
"You still have memories from 900,000 years ago, right? Let me see them." Li Yang wanted to find clues in them.
Lianxin: "Mmm."
A thin, silvery-white thread slowly emerged from his fingertips and then wrapped around Li Yang's spirit.
Li Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It tickles!"
Lianxin: "..."
He hurriedly explained, "Because you are in a spiritual state, therefore..."
"It's alright!" Li Yang added, "It's actually quite fun."
Lianxin: "..."
He didn't say anything more, but quickly transmitted this memory to Li Yang.
Li Yang didn't watch that memory as if she were experiencing Time Rewind firsthand; instead, she received it directly and precisely.
The feeling in this moment is definitely not just about seeing.
It's not just about feeling what someone feels; it's about genuine empathy.
The Lianxin at that time was absolutely pure.
If there truly are gods in this world, this must be what it's like.
He has no desires, no "contamination," and no joy, no pain, no happiness, no sadness... He is unrelated to any emotion; he exists, yet it seems as if he does not exist.
At that time, the Lianxin was perfectly suited to this Spatial Rift.
Spatial Rift do not reject Lianxin.
The situation back then was far from what it is now, with occasional whirlwinds of nothingness engulfing consciousness.
The Lianxin remained in the Spatial Rift, as still as if the universe had long since perished.
Suddenly a voice rang out, saying, "Do you want to go find your friends? They're all waiting for you."
The "partners" here likely refer to the flower petals and Lotus Leaf.
The Upper Three Realms were able to easily take away the Flower of Evil and the Lotus Domain because they fell into the Kongzhi.
However, taking Lianxin away will not be an easy task for them.
This is why it took so long of research on the Flower of Evil before it was discovered that Lianxin had also been brought to Fenglie City.
The one speaking was the God King of Space; unexpectedly, his consciousness was able to penetrate this Spatial Rift.
As expected of someone who wields the Authority of Space, although he belongs to that world, he possesses the true ability to tear apart space.
But what he said was completely unfamiliar to Lianxin.
At that time, Lianxin couldn't understand what companions meant, and he didn't want to go find them.
His mission is to stay here and wait for the birth of a new world.
He was not interested in things unrelated to this.
The voice of the God King of Space was intermittent, and although Lianxin had no interest in it, she couldn't stop it from entering.
While he was in the Fenglie Main City, he couldn't hear what was being said outside at all.
But he couldn't stop the voice of the God King of Space, and that voice slowly caused the Spatial Rift to ripple slightly.
"Shall I take you to them?" The God King of Space also noticed this, and his tone became increasingly urgent.
Lianxin remained silent.
The God King of Space must have expended an immense amount of effort and thought, constantly disrupting the Spatial Rift, until one day...
A void storm rose from the Spatial Rift, and the Authority of Space, like a slender dagger, tore through space.
Li Yang: "!"
It wasn't Li Yang was surprised, but Lianxin who felt surprised.
He was far less curious than the Flower of Evil.
But faced with such a change, he couldn't help but look over.
It was in that instant that the God King of Space spotted him and forcibly dragged him out.
My memory ends here.
Li Yang pondered for a moment, then said, "If I want to take you out, there are two prerequisites. First, you have to want to leave..."
She surveyed the environment within the Spatial Rift and felt quite reassured.
If the God King of Space of yesteryear only stirred up a gust of wind in this Spatial Rift, then right now... this Spatial Rift is like a raging storm after a typhoon has struck!
Lianlian has also learned to say one thing and mean another.
They say they don't want to leave, but deep down they desperately want to leave.
Li Yang felt a sweet warmth in her heart, which manifested as a bright and cheerful expression on her mental body.
The bright color made Lianxin look at it again and again.
Li Yang then said, "The first condition has been met; now it's time for the second condition."
Her expression hardened, and she said, "We still need to obtain the Authority of Space!"
The last time the God King of Space lured out the Lianxin, it consumed half of the Authority of Space.
Although 900,000 years have passed, it's nothing to those Divine Venerable.
Especially the damage to the Authority of God... let alone 900,000 years, it might not be able to be repaired even in 9 million or 90 million years.
But it doesn't matter, I only need half anyway.
However, the current problem is how to lure out the God King of Space.
The God King of Space has already sacrificed half of his authority to bring out Lianxin, but asking him to give up the other half would be even more difficult.
Even if Daowu tried to persuade him with the promise of a new world, he might not agree.
It's even possible that the God King of Space went into hiding after Lianxin returned to the spatial rift.
How can we lure him out?
This, ironically, became the most difficult part.
Lianxin: "Fellow Daoist, I can actually sense that half of the Authority of Space."
Li Yang's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What do you mean?"
Lianxin took her hand and said, "Come this way."
Li Yang has difficulty walking alone in the Spatial Rift, but if Lianxin holds her hand, a snow-white protective shield will protect her.
The space was much smaller than Li Yang had imagined, probably only the size of a basketball court.
Of course, this is her subjective feeling, and the actual situation cannot be judged based on subjective feelings within the limitations of human cognition.
Lianxin led her to the border, where there was a very thin and long mark.
Li Yang exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."
"That's right," Lianxin said, "900,000 years ago, the God King of Space tore open this mark and dragged me out."
"You mean, there's still half of the Authority of Space on this mark?"
"I can sense it, but I can't use it to leave."
Li Yang, always quick-witted, already had several plans in mind. She said, "Let me first try to sense this half of the Authority of Space from the outside... If that doesn't work, we can use it to lure the God King of Space!"
Chapter 240
Li Yang acted immediately.
She said to Lianxin, "I'll go out and try to sense this half of the Authority of Space."
Lianxin: "Fellow Daoist, please be careful."
Li Yang: "You too!"
Lianxin smiled and said, "There's no danger here for me."
Li Yang glanced at the task to eliminate the Heart Worm... Although she had abandoned it, the task remained there and did not disappear.
This wasn't a bad thing for Li Yang; on the contrary, it allowed her to become aware of Lianxin's state to some extent.
She pointed to Lianxin's chest and said seriously, "How can you say there's no danger? What if you've forgotten again?"
Lianxin: "!"
He said softly, "No."
"Don't underestimate the enemy," Li Yang instructed Lianxin Xin, "This spatial rift is constantly trying to accommodate you, and it might affect you again after I leave... Anyway..."
Remembering what Lianxin had said to her when she was mentally corrupted, Li Yang said to Lianxin, "Stay here and keep thinking of me, okay?"
Lianxin understood Li Yang's meaning; she knew Li Yang was afraid she would get lost in this Spatial Rift, but... but...
He responded very softly, "Okay."
He couldn't say any more. He dared not let himself have too much emotional fluctuation, as this would make the void storm in the Spatial Rift even more violent, which would undoubtedly be dangerous for Li Yang.
Li Yang smiled and said, "Wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, she began to sense her body and easily escaped the spatial rift, returning to the Single-Leaf Skiff.
Unbeknownst to her, the moment she left, the Spatial Rift unleashed a void storm ten or even a hundred times more violent than before.
After the suppression came an even more frenzied counterattack.
Lianxin was unaffected by these illusory storms, but he dared not look at these tangible manifestations of his own state of mind.
The Flower of Evil had been anxiously waiting. Sensing Li Yang's return, he immediately entered her Spirit Sea and asked, "How is it? Did you find it?"
In comparison, Chen Ri was much calmer. She never interfered with Li Yang's plans; she only offered support and companionship.
Li Yang: "Found it, but to bring Lianlian out, we still need half of the Authority of Space."
The Flower of Evil gasped.
[Shock Points from the Flower of Flower of Evil increased by 50,000 points.]
[Shock Points from the Flower of Flower of Evil increased by 50,000 points.]
There were too many things that shocked him; half an Authority of Space was actually nothing.
He was shocked that Li Yang could actually walk through spatial rifts, and he was even more shocked that Lianxin actually chose to come back with Li Yang.
You're completely blinded by greed!
Li Yang briefly explained the situation, then asked the Flower of Evil, "Can you sense that half of the Authority of Space?"
