Chapter 256 (continued)

Lianxin: "This is my mission. I've been preparing for it since the moment I was born."

"Your mission is truly noble."

"Is it grand?" Lianxin asked, "But I feel it's like you humans trying to build a house..."

"How can that be the same? A house is so simple!"

But I also possess more power than humans.

"Ah, that's right! Since you have such a mission, you must have corresponding powerful abilities... Wow, Lianlian, you're amazing!"

Lianxin: "..."

Li Yang said excitedly, "Then let me tell you more about the 'knowledge' of our world, so you can use it as a reference, okay?"

Lianxin: "Okay!"

They stayed together for a very, very long time.

Originally, they were just communicating through a great distance, but as Li Yang's self-awareness grew stronger, Lianxin actually brought her to the "castle".

Upon seeing the countless lotus seeds, Li Yang exclaimed in surprise, "They look... so delicious!"

Lianxin warmly invited her, "If you'd like to eat some..."

"I'm not even human anymore, how am I supposed to eat?"

"Try it, it's okay. These lotus seeds don't belong to Mother, so even if you eat them, it won't harm her."

"Then I won't be polite!" Li Yang said expectantly.

She didn't know how to eat lotus seeds, since she didn't have a human form at all, but she desperately wanted to try one.

Black, Power of Chaos enveloped a lotus seed...

Li Yang: "Wow, this is really delicious."

"You look like the soil is wrapping a seed..." Lianxin had been observing her, and because Li Yang had told him a lot about their world, he came up with this description.

But he soon realized that this meant Li Yang was like mud... which was clearly not a good description.

Before Lianxin could explain, Li Yang chuckled and said, "That's true! In our world, lotus seeds are just seeds, and I'm now a super Invincibility mud ball!"

Lianxin smiled and said, "Isn't 'mud' a bad word?"

"Not really!" Li Yang. "Without fertile soil, no plant can grow strong. If I can make lotus seeds sprout, then that's good mud."

Lianxin: "But lotus seeds... won't sprout."

Li Yang: "Lotus seeds indeed don't sprout, but I've actually... gained a lifespan!"

Lianxin: "?" He didn't understand what Li Yang meant by that.

Li Yang herself found it hard to describe. She said, "I'm definitely not in a living state, after all, I'm just a mass of Power of Chaos, but from the lotus seed, I felt a life force... It feels a lot like when I was alive! So, I have 'life' now."

Lianxin exclaimed in surprise, "How amazing! Your color has faded a lot!"

Li Yang: "Quickly feel it, does the harm I caused your mother lessen?"

Lianxin: "..."

"Has it not gotten better?"

"It seems like a little bit."

Li Yang: "Then I'll put in more effort. Once my color fades further, maybe I won't hurt the Lotus Domain anymore!"

Lianxin: "Mmm!"

Li Yang remarked with emotion, "Although I've never farmed before, I feel like a diligent old farmer right now, harvesting hope from the seeds."

Lianxin: "These things are passed down through generations of your ancestors, so even if you haven't experienced them personally, they're still subconsciously ingrained in you..."

Li Yang lingered around a lotus seed, eating it for a very long time.

They spent countless years together in the castle.

Until that day comes.

They are parting ways.

Lianxin sensed that she was about to leave.

He has grown up and matured; he is going to create his own world.

At the same time, he also had to say goodbye to Li Yang.

Li Yang was happy for him and said, "Go for it! You can definitely do it. The new world can't be as boring as this place. There must be lots and lots of people... or maybe not people, but definitely living beings!"

Lianxin and said, "I... I can't take you with me..."

Li Yang: "It's nothing!"

Her tone was very light, as if she had already realized this, and now she was simply offering her Lianxin. She said, "I was already dead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have this time of 'living,' so... I'm already very content."

"But I promised you," Lianxin said anxiously, "I want to create your world, I want to take you with me..."

"Go ahead and do it," Li Yang said. "Perhaps you'll create a new world, and I can 'infiltrate' it too."

As she gained a deeper understanding of the Lotus Domain, she said, "A small amount of infiltration won't harm you, right?"

"But..." Lianxin knew that Li Yang was trying to comfort her. With so many countless worlds, how could she possibly find the world he created?

Li Yang: "Don't give up. As long as we think of each other, we'll meet again."

Lianxin: "!"

Li Yang said gently to him, "Go, Lianlian! Trust in fate; we will meet again someday."

Li Yang spoke with great certainty, as if he had already glimpsed the future.

But actually, she was just Lianxin.

She knew better than Lianxin that she could not leave the Lotus Domain, much less find the world that Lianxin had created.

However, it's always good to have a glimmer of hope.

Lianxin will go and create a new world, and in that new world, many, many more "Li Yang" may be born.

Lianxin will not be as lonely as she is in the Lotus Domain.

He will gradually forget her.

Thinking this way, Li Yang felt that everything was the best arrangement.

She began to feel a growing sense of accomplishment.

Isn't this a form of inheritance?

She was clearly dead, far removed from her own world.

Yet, in this wondrous place, I encountered a pure Lianxin.

She told him what her world was like... and he was actually inspired by her description to create a similar world.

And so, the "world" has been passed down in this wondrous way!

At that time, Li Yang did not know that the probability of creating a new world was extremely low.

Lianxin didn't tell her about this terrible failure rate.

They gave each other hope, expecting a miracle to happen.

Lianxin left the Lotus Domain, constantly searching for opportunities to create new worlds within spatial rifts.

Before he could figure anything out, he was forcibly pulled out of the spatial rift.

By then, Daowu long since come to loathe everything. He looked down at the familiar yet unfamiliar Pure Lianxin and felt a sharp, stinging pain.

Daowu n't want to communicate with Lianxin, as it would stir up his long-buried memories.

Lianxin saw the "person" that Li Yang had told him about, but he keenly sensed malice.

This made him very uncomfortable.

He didn't want to talk to them because Li Yang had told him that there are very, very bad people among people, and that these bad people would do very, very bad things.

If he is unable to resist, then he should not expose himself.

In the long span of 900,000 years, there was only one existence that made Lianxin willing to expose herself, and that was the remnant consciousness of the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor wanted to rescue Lianxin, but she was already exhausted and powerless to do anything.

She couldn't even utter a complete sound, and only the pure Lianxin could faintly "hear" her.

Lianxin: "What's wrong? Are you trapped too?"

Human Emperor: "..."

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Human Emperor: "..."

"Is this your Fortune Spirit?"

"... Yes."

"You want me to help you peel it off?"

"May I?"

"If you lose it, you will disappear completely."

"It... has... a... mission..."

"What mission?"

"Have no idea..."

"Then what should we do?"

"I'll listen to... you..."

"Your Fortune Spirit cannot exist independently; Fortune Spirit needs a host, so..." Lianxin thought, "Finding a host is its mission!"

Human Emperor: "Yes... you can..."

"Then what kind of host should we look for?"

"I'll listen to... you..."

A name instantly surfaced in Lianxin's mind.

But Li Yang had told him that there are countless people with the same name, and that didn't necessarily mean it was her.

So, how do we define "her"?

Many memories surfaced in Lianxin's mind, but the clearest one was undoubtedly Yangzi's joy after Li Yang clung to Lianzi.

That was the most vibrant moment for Li Yang, and also the best state he had ever seen Li Yang in.

Lotus seeds... but there are almost no lotus seeds in the Astral Realm...

But Li Yang told him that lotus seeds are plants... and there are plants in the Astral Realm...

Plant nourishment lifespan...

Her longevity keeps her vibrant!

Li Yang died and then came back to life; this is a resurrection!

What else?

Firm!

She was more determined than anyone else!

Her will to survive was strong; she possessed an invigorating vitality!

Lianxin sketched out Li Yang's features in her mind, and then carefully told the Human Emperor Fortune Spirit them.

Lianxin knew that Li Yang was not in this Astral Realm, and that she was trapped in the Lotus Domain and could not escape.

But in Lianxin's heart, Li Yang was the very best "person".

The Human Emperor needed his advice, and the only "model" that came to mind was Li Yang.

However, this was not enough, because the Human Emperor was in too poor a condition and her Fortune Spirit could not remember these things.

Lianxin spent a very long time repeatedly telling the Human Emperor Fortune Spirit and emphasizing these points.

Perhaps some information was lost, but it revealed very crucial information.

He even unconsciously transferred his memories to the Human Emperor Fortune Spirit.
