The reason why Shen Xiyue's clone sacrificed herself to save Mo Tianyun is not simply because the two were in love and understood each other. More importantly, Shen Xiyue's clone is a spiritual clone created from the Heart of Protection.

And Shen Xiyue's protective heart is what she wants to protect—Mo Tianyun!

Then why did Shen Xiyue say earlier that the heart of protection is enough to represent her true heart?

That's because after the heart of protection has completely transformed, it becomes the original heart, also known as the original heart!

The heart of protection is the most important and fundamental heart of the strong in the civilization where Shenxi Yue is located.

This civilization, because of the existence of the Guardian Spirit, is a civilization capable of giving birth to miracles.

Protecting what you want to protect, protecting the weak, protecting all living beings, protecting yourself, protecting everything you want to protect, and transforming all of this into your driving force to move forward, unleashing unparalleled potential at critical moments, and rapidly improving your realm and strength—this is the unique ability of the Heart of Protection.

It may seem ethereal, but it is actually quite common in the universe.

Especially when faced with a major disaster, everyone's protective instincts can be unleashed to safeguard their homes, friends, and loved ones, easily turning the tide of battle. This is the intractable and terrifying power of the protective instincts!

But it was precisely because of this protective heart, and the miraculous mechs that required this protective heart to operate, that the civilization Shen Xiyue belonged to encountered that disaster...

That catastrophe was enough to overturn the entire civilization!

(Sigh, it's been really tough writing this far. The groundwork was laid from the very beginning of the book. Thank you all for reading on and supporting me so much, preventing me from abandoning it!)

(Chapter 48, which describes the specific effects of the Guardian Heart, is the longest and most meticulously crafted. Chapter 242, which explains that the Miracle Mech requires the Guardian Heart, along with at least four other powerful hearts, to gain piloting privileges, is also a detail and a foreshadowing.)

(This book often receives no comments, and no one asks about the details I describe. It's really frustrating, and for an author, that's worse than death!)

...

What is a miracle?

Beyond miracles lies divine intervention!

A single miracle can change the course of a person's life, and a divine miracle has the potential to make one a god!

Aren't the so-called gods just virtual beings conceived by inferior civilizations?

And aren't the abilities possessed by higher life forms the same as those of lower civilizations, which are called gods?

What kind of god is there in this universe?

Actually, there really is.

However, there is no true god in this universe now!

The greatest hope lies in the civilization race to which Shen Xiyue belongs, the civilization race known as the Miracle Civilization and the Miracle Clan!

Happiness came too suddenly, and Mo Tianyun was secretly overjoyed.

He also responded warmly to Shen Xiyue's embrace.

The two were affectionate for a long time before finally reluctantly letting go of each other.

Shen Xiyue, in particular, blushed shyly and avoided looking at Mo Tianyun again.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the two, who are not yet married, experienced a dramatic increase in their feelings for each other upon their reunion.

"Xiyue, what exactly happened? I have many questions, can you tell me?"

Mo Tianyun suddenly asked.

After all, the Miracle Mech, the Divine Moon herself, the Divine Moon clone, the Sixth Gate, collecting Zerg crystal cores...

Mo Tianyun was still completely baffled by the connection between them.

Shen Xiyue should be able to give him the answers to all these connections now.

"Well, Tianyun's current strength is already close to that of a universe expert. It's time for him to experience the vastness of this universe. So I will tell you everything I know!"

Shen Xiyue nodded, but the fact that one eye was white and the other black still made Mo Tianyun somewhat unaccustomed to her current appearance.

"Xi Yue... the way you look..."

Mo Tianyun asked.

"Hatred has consumed me. The only reason I can remain rational is because you are by my side... If I ever lose you again... Xi Yue will surely fall into a vengeful demon..."

Shen Xiyue spread her black and white wings, which were both holy and eerie.

"The power of the Angel of Life and the Angel of Destruction, that is, the power of life and destruction, has been condensed in the wings on my back. Once they all turn black, I will be a fallen angel of destruction!"

“Tianyun, I know you are very curious about my civilization, my race, my origins, the core of the miracle, and even this universe.”

"Then I will explain them to you one by one."

Shen Xiyue closed her eyes and paused for a moment before continuing:

"I come from the Miracle Race of the Miracle Civilization. I don't know how many years ago, the Zerg universe invaded our universe, and the Miracle Civilization was the first civilization they planned to attack. In that battle, my father and mother both perished, and countless powerful members of my race also died under the claws of the Zerg!"

As Shen Xiyue recalled that scene, tears of pain streamed down her face again.

"Xiyue, stop talking. I don't want to hear this. I don't want you to relive those painful memories!"

Mo Tianyun reached out and wiped away Shen Xiyue's tears.

"Then let's communicate using mental energy; that will be faster."

Shen Xiyue immediately sent out a mental message.

"The Miracle Mech was the mech that Father God once controlled. Before he fell, he used all his remaining power to send me out of the Zerg's encirclement and gave me the core of the Miracle Mech, telling me to take the core with me and not fall into the hands of the Zerg."

"I ran and ran, risking serious injuries, and finally escaped the encirclement of the Zerg. Due to the severity of my injuries, I had no choice but to enter the sixth space of the core of the miracle and create a spiritual clone. I sealed away a part of her memories, which is the me you met before. She is responsible for collecting life energy to heal my injuries."
