Chapter 138: Love that breaks through dimensions. Love is what has kept the galaxy from falling apart…

Pushing, violent confrontation, and fluctuations of supernatural powers collided violently in the air. The sudden interference caused the precision-operating array to shift its angle, and the originally orderly energy flow suddenly began to violently rush towards the wormhole!

Buzz——!

The energy-overloaded wormhole trembled violently, and then began to shrink and pulsate violently, triggering signs of collapse!

And Wen Yi is still there.

Gu Yifeng was pinned down by the soldiers, but he still tried to break free with bloodshot eyes: "Can't interrupt the connection——!"

The space around the wormhole began to become blurred and distorted. The rubble and scattered weapons on the ground suddenly floated up and were violently pulled into the air.

Visible, transparent ripples spread outward from the wormhole. Wherever they passed, everything vanished, leaving nothing behind. The two soldiers closest to them didn't even have time to cry out in shock before they were reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.

"ah--!"

"Run!!!" A roar awakened the panic in their hearts, and the psychological defenses of everyone present completely collapsed.

At that moment, the crowd instinctively fled frantically, yet death was even faster! Wherever the energy wave passed, people were reduced to dust as they fled, leaving behind not even a shriek.

The scene instantly turned into hell on earth.

The military suffered heavy casualties, some dead and some injured. Those who were lucky enough not to be wiped out were blown away by the energy, their bones broken and they lost the ability to move. They could only wait in despair for the next round of death.

Gu Yifeng was already very close to the wormhole, and with the overwhelming energy coming at him, there was no escape. The soldiers holding him panicked and let go of him, tumbling and crawling away.

Gu Yifeng did not move, but a calm smile appeared on his face.

"You...you're not going to run away?!" The soldier couldn't help but look back.

"Why are you running away?"

She was there, where else could he go?

Just as the terrifying energy wave was about to engulf him, an invisible barrier suddenly unfolded, enveloping him. Wen Chi, unknowingly, broke through the chaos, arrived behind him, and opened up this special area.

Wen Chi grabbed Gu Yifeng by the collar, pulled him back and away from the brink of death, and shouted angrily:

"Find a way to save her!!"

*

Inside the wormhole, the entire void vibrated violently. Wen Yi felt as if her consciousness was torn into countless pieces, so fragile that it could completely dissipate at any time.

"Heh..." A cold, mocking sneer echoed from deep within Wen Yi's consciousness. The light ball spoke sharply, "You keep claiming to be a member of the human race, trying to act as a bridge and protect their future."

"But it's clear that they don't think so. You were unwilling to 'betray' them, yet they tried without hesitation to close the passage and exile you and us forever in this void."

Every word the light ball spoke resonated in her mind, and Wen Yi could clearly empathize with them—ridicule, anger, disappointment, resentment, hatred. The emotional torrent of an entire civilization threatened to overwhelm her. She struggled to maintain the last shred of clarity in her mind, vaguely trying to perceive what was happening in the outside world.

What exactly happened?

Why betray her at this moment?

Her father, mother, Wen Chi, and Gu Yifeng all chose to give up on her?

She heard the humming sound of the wormhole collapsing, echoing desolately in the void. The humming sound was long and lasting for a long time, like wailing and crying. As she listened, she really heard the familiar roar falling into her heart.

"One-one——!"

The voice was familiar and warm, with the same firmness as always, like a bright lamp piercing the darkness, a warm current breaking through the frozen soil, and the Buddhist sound breaking through the confusion.

Wen Yi suddenly regained consciousness. It was Gu Yifeng!

He didn't give up!

The calls instantly pulled her back from the brink of collapse of consciousness.

Love has no sharp edge, but it is indestructible, able to split the barriers of time and space and reach her own latitude and longitude. All confusion and doubt are shattered in this cry.

Her consciousness no longer drifted with the tide, but once again floated above the myriad cones of light, gazing at them extending into endless time and space.

"I heard it." Her consciousness was calm and clear.

"What?" The ball of light flickered slightly.

"like."

"I only saw betrayal."

"In your highly developed civilization, can love be measured?" she asked suddenly with curiosity.

The ball of light flickered, as if it was thinking.

"...No, love is a power that we cannot understand, let alone control, despite exhausting all our technology."

Wen Yi smiled faintly in her consciousness.

"A power that you cannot understand or control is resonating with me across time and space at this moment, with an intensity that even surpasses the blood bond between us. Your seemingly primitive and backward civilization has survived because of this higher-dimensional power, which is why our galaxy has not yet collapsed."

“…” The ball of light remained silent.

"I'm here to uphold this love." She turned to the ball of light. "For those outside the wormhole right now, and for all beings on Earth worth protecting, now it's your turn. Are you willing to make the necessary compromises to preserve civilization's last hope?"

The ball of light flickered continuously: "What are your conditions?"

"The civilization of your galaxy is now only consciousness, not a physical entity. I am the vessel most compatible with you, and I am willing to be your 'body.' With my body, you can maximize your power and prevent this destruction. But once the situation stabilizes, you cannot forcibly invade, colonize, or destroy Earth. Let us find a way to a new beginning together. Beyond light years, the universe is endless, and there must be another way out."

The ball of light suddenly burst out with dazzling light.

After a moment, she heard the answer in her mind:

"As you wish."

The ball of light transformed into a rushing river of light, completely merging with Wen Yi's consciousness. Ancient wisdom, power, memories, and emotions flowed into her body like a warm tide, becoming the final echo of that ancient civilization.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a different world. The ripples in the air were the energy that had not yet dissipated. The once invisible existence turned into interwoven longitude and latitude in her eyes, clearly visible.

She took a step forward, her figure emerging from the center of the doomed tunnel. The wormhole's collapse had reached critical mass, releasing enough energy to completely wipe Qingluan Mountain and even the wider area off the map.

As far as the eye could see, the place was completely silent. All that remained was distorted air and broken walls.

The apocalyptic scene made her frown unconsciously.

When Wen Yi appeared, all the members of the Wen clan in the distance felt it, their blood began to surge, and the power in their bodies boiled and resonated like never before, rising continuously, and finally turned into countless pure white beams of light, converging towards Wen Yi in the center of the field like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

She merged the power of the entire Wen family with the power in her own body, condensing it into an energy that was powerful enough to compete with the wormhole.

She landed gently, and an invisible force field spread out from her foothold. The violent energy that could destroy the world, when it reached the edge of the force field she had constructed, was like a huge wave crashing against a reef, being cleverly deflected, guided, and then disintegrated.

Instantly, the entire sky transformed into a flowing ocean of aurora, a torrent of multicolored energy that eventually flowed gently into deep space.

This process lasted for three full days and three nights. When the last trace of energy dissipated, the humming sound that had persisted for days finally ceased, and the distorted ripples in the air returned to calm.

The swirling wormhole closed silently like a wound, vanishing without a trace. The reactor had completely shut down due to the previous energy shock and entered a safe state. The entire Qingluan Mountain stood quietly in the morning light, the scars of time and space gently healed.

The sky finally returned to its original color.

The surviving soldiers walked out of the bunkers one after another and silently began the slow and arduous post-disaster cleanup and reconstruction work.

The energy coursing through Wen Yi's body gradually receded. She turned and looked at Gu Yifeng running toward her, with Wen Chi and his parents standing behind him. He stumbled amidst the rubble and nearly fell into the ruins, but Wen Chi quickly grabbed him by the collar, barely steadying him.

Until he finally ran to her, without saying anything, he just hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply. This kiss was trembling with the throes of surviving a disaster. His lips were wet and slightly salty. Before the kiss was complete, Wen Chi frowned and pulled her away.

Wen Yi didn't say anything, but instead grabbed Gu Yifeng's wrist. Sure enough, there was a hideous wound on his palm, bleeding profusely. It was caused when he nearly fell.

"It's just a minor injury, it's okay." He explained quickly, his voice hoarse.

"Are there any other injuries?" Her eyes swept over his body carefully. Now she could easily see the blood and vitality flowing under every inch of his skin.

"No, I'm fine, you..." Before she could finish her words, Wen Yi had already lowered her eyes, and lightly touched the edge of his wound with her fingertips. The torn palm of her hand began to heal rapidly, the flesh and blood reconstructed, and the skin returned to its original state in just the blink of an eye.

At this moment, her parents also stepped forward and hugged her tightly. Wen Yuran's voice choked with sobs: "That's great, it's over, everything is over..."

Wen Yi slowly shook her head, her gaze sweeping past her loved ones and gazing at the distant horizon. "No, it's not truly over yet." At this moment, although she retained her self-awareness, her life form had completely transformed. From the moment she voluntarily became a vessel, from the inside out, she was no longer herself, but a completely new being.

"The crisis at the nuclear power plant has been resolved, but my commitment has only just begun." She tried to hold back her tears and spoke calmly, "I must leave and find a new way out in the universe for my...other home."

Gu Yifeng was stunned upon hearing this. He had never imagined that after the dust settled, this would be the outcome that awaited him. From the ecstasy of the wormhole closing to the sudden separation at this moment, it was like falling from heaven to hell.

It seemed as if the heavens were always playing a joke on him. He wanted to hold her hand, but he didn't dare.

When he heard Wen Chi, he immediately asked her, "What do you mean? Where are you going?"

“…” She didn’t answer immediately.

The mother cried and asked, "Will you come back?"

"I don't know." She said softly, "Maybe I'll come back, but things have changed so much, we may not be able to wait until the day we meet again."

Gu Yifeng listened in silence. There were some things she didn't need to explain; he already understood them. She was about to venture into a galaxy beyond the reach of human technology, a desolate place where even light would travel for millennia. His body couldn't endure such a journey of exploration, and his life was but a fleeting spark in her long journey.

But hearing her voice speak of their inevitable separation felt like a stab in the heart. He was still standing because the knife had stopped the bleeding. He couldn't die, but he couldn't feel alive either. He had never felt so cold before, a cold that blocked his sense of pain and all his thoughts.

"Yi Yi..." After a long time, he called her with difficulty.

Wen Yi looked up at him, and Gu Yifeng also stared at her, with thousands of words stuck in her throat.

If it were any corner of the world, he would have dropped everything and followed her. But unfortunately, it wasn't. The place his lover was going to was beyond his reach. Perhaps he would die on the way before reaching another galaxy. He thought of many things he could do. They say a scholar is useless, and he was just an ordinary scholar. What could he do? His love was not worth mentioning. He truly didn't have the ability to accompany her to conquer the stars and the sea.

But he really couldn't bear to let Wen Yi go like this.

"I……"

Wen Yi seemed to understand his silence. She took a step forward, hugged him tightly, and gently patted his trembling back with her hands.

"I will remember you," her voice whispered in his ear, like a vow, "I can't take you across the stars, but my love is always there. I will always love you, no matter which galaxy I go to. As long as I breathe, I will remember you every day of my life." Her fingertips lightly touched his heart, and a faint light quietly sank in:

"I never forget it."
