It longs to be born.

But her world was dead.

She was no longer capable; she was no longer capable of responding to this insignificant will to survive.

'Click, click, click'—

The Philosopher's Stone's resistance grew stronger, but so did the number of cracks on its surface.

Li Aili showed no reaction; she held Arthur's body, feeling the remaining warmth slowly dissipate.

She heard Albert ask again, "Ellie, will you come with me to the 'New World'?"

Li Aili slowly raised her head and glanced at Albert.

Albert's handsome face melted away, revealing horrifying white bones.

Startled, he stepped back, too wary to approach again.

The weakened soul fire stared at Li Aili, "What a pity, I feel sorry for Arthur."

He then slipped onto Gilmanoa's body. "Go quickly."

Li Aili slowly lowered her head, looking down at Arthur's face.

His face was covered in blood, the dried blood obscuring his incomparably handsome features.

Li Aili gently and slowly wiped away the dried bloodstains with her sleeve, as if handling fragile porcelain.

Completely disregarding the Philosopher's Stone, which was desperately trying to survive in her mind.

Are you crazy?! Are you going to die with this guy?!

It seems to be the mentor who taught her the alchemy of life...

But it doesn't matter anymore.

It seems that Li Aili has built a small prison in her heart.

She imprisoned her consciousness within it, wanting to think of nothing, listening to everything, and asking nothing.

It was as if she would break down and go insane if she left that cage.

The last soft 'click' sounded.

The Philosopher's Stone, which was just one step away from completion, shattered completely.

Li Aili, imprisoned in a cage, saw a 'red rain' fall on her world.

A tiny fragment landed on the prison deep within consciousness, stubbornly trying to reach Li Aili's consciousness within...

The unformed Philosopher's Stone, having mustered its last strength to reach this place, was locked outside by this solid 'barrier'.

It looks like it's about to completely disappear.

I can save him!

This sentence was like a pass that allowed unimpeded passage. The fragment, caught off guard, 'thudded' through the barrier and landed in Li Aili's hand.

A flicker of emotion appeared in Li Aili's lifeless eyes.

With only one breath left, the Philosopher's Stone dared not waste any time and went straight to communicating with its master—

...

In front of the water curtain of the Alchemy Academy, the vice dean of the Gold and Stone Academy was almost bald from being pulled by the dean of the Life Alchemy Academy.

"Aaaaaah! If I'd known this would happen!!! Even if it meant being imprisoned for ten thousand years by the Higher Dimensions Joint Punishment Council, I would have interfered with that small world's timeline!!!"

The loli-like dean took a bite out of the dwarf vice-dean's head.

Two streams of blood flowed down instantly.

"It's broken! It's broken!!!" The dwarf vice-dean ignored his bleeding head.

He saw the Philosopher's Stone of the genius student about to shatter, and at that moment, he wished it was his own skull that was broken.

The instructors in front of the water curtain were in complete chaos.

"I'll go get her!" The usually composed dean of the herbalism academy immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to tear open space to rescue his precious student.

As a result, the space here was sealed off.

The only person capable of suppressing the deans, besides the old principal who was lying in a rocking chair, was none other than the old principal.

Merlin stared into the void.

"Countless stars fall, and countless stars will be born."

"If this is her choice, we cannot forcefully change it."

Until the final 'click,' all was silent before the water curtain.

The first to leave was the hot-tempered dwarf headmaster of the Goldstone Academy, who yelled, "Foolish—!"

Then, one after another, the deans of various colleges left.

As Merlin said, there are countless geniuses.

They would feel sorry for the student, but they also knew that instead of going to great lengths to save a genius against the student's wishes, it would only lead to enmity.

The more talented a person is, the more terrible the consequences of going astray in the future.

Finally, the instructor from the Life Alchemy Academy sat cross-legged in front of the water curtain, staring blankly at it. "Old man, you saved me back then, why couldn't you lend her a hand? I've only taken a liking to one student after all these years..."

Merlin sat up, his eyes behind his half-moon glasses no longer half-closed, but staring intently at the water curtain.

The dean of the Alchemy Academy of Life belatedly looked at the water curtain.

Then, the last small piece of the Philosopher's Stone completely turned into dust.

Then an alchemical heart was quickly conceived.

It grew rapidly, nourished by the previous fragments of the Philosopher's Stone, and finally, it smoothly transformed into the Philosopher's Stone.

The dean of the Alchemy Academy of Life was so frightened that he jumped three feet high.

"She...she...she!!! Heavy?!?"

This is the first time I've ever seen someone whose Philosopher's Stone can be regenerated after it's been shattered!

Merlin had already stood up from the recliner.

His eyes shone brightly. "...A miracle, it's a miracle."

...

The newly formed Philosopher's Stone resembles a joyful bird.

Even now, Li Aili still can't believe that she actually did it.

Finally, the Red Philosopher's Stone told her that there was a special Philosopher's Stone that could save Arthur, and even save this broken world.

That Philosopher's Stone is called—Miracle.

Whether or not a 'miracle' can be created depends on how much love Li Aili has for Arthur and how much she truly desires to save the world.

Unexpectedly—

The former red Philosopher's Stone, now rapidly fluttering 'Miracle Philosopher's Stone'.
