The last string that was tied loosened.
That clear and beautiful voice reappeared in Jiang Cheng's mind.
"Boss, I'm back."
Gu Qingwan closed her eyes slightly, the corners of her lips curving upwards. When she opened her eyes again, the seven-colored light disappeared, leaving only the gaze that Jiang Cheng knew best.
"……good."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath to calm his excited heart, closed his eyes, and felt the newborn Gu Qingwan.
With just a slight sense, he could detect Gu Qingwan, who coexisted with him in his mind.
This is completely different from how I felt before.
Gu Qingwan used to be an independent individual, but now she has become an appendage of Jiang Cheng.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were born of the same parents.
What Jiang Cheng wanted was Gu Qingwan's complete obedience to him.
"how are you feeling?"
Having waited so many days, Jiang Cheng was eager to explore the mysteries of the Heart of the Universe, so his expression turned serious again, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is there something wrong?"
"Boss, I feel very light, as if I have been freed from many constraints and ties. I am very good now."
Gu Qingwan looked down at herself, her eyes crinkling as she stood up from the control panel.
Although she was completely naked, Gu Qingwan, as she appeared before Jiang Cheng, was so pure that no one could harbor any evil thoughts.
She calmly tapped the ground, took a step forward, and placed her slender white fingers on Jiang Cheng's shoulder: "Boss, thank you for your hard work."
Although she uttered only six simple words, the gratitude and obedience in her eyes made Jiang Cheng realize that everything had changed.
Now, he has finally achieved the result he wanted.
Gu Qingwan belongs only to Jiang Cheng.
Now, they no longer need to communicate verbally; with just a thought, they can sense what the other is thinking and what they want to do.
Seemingly sensing Jiang Cheng's thoughts, Gu Qingwan slid her fingers down his shoulder and all the way to his arm.
Jiang Cheng also turned his palm over and caught Gu Qingwan's delicate white hand.
Their movements were fluid and seamless, as if they were perfectly aligned, like shadows of each other.
As their fingers intertwined, Gu Qingwan took a step forward and embraced Jiang Cheng.
A miracle occurred at that moment. A hazy, pale light suddenly filled the basement, illuminating the suspended mechanical arm. Jiang Cheng's body and Gu Qingwan's mechanical form began to react; their entire bodies shattered, transforming into countless tiny molecules that covered their boss. These chilling molecules transformed into layers of scales, settling on Jiang Cheng's neck, arms, and back, then climbing to other parts, forming another layer of hard skin, resembling the alloy armor of the Snow Maiden.
Gu Qingwan disappeared; she transformed into a suit of armor.
Jiang Cheng opened his eyes again.
He looked thoughtful as he saw himself in the mirror. The adaptability of the Heart of the Universe was indeed extremely strong. By combining with machinery and implanting the physical concept of separation and attachment from the host, he had created a super mecha that was unprecedented and would never be repeated.
Gu Qingwan brought him more than just the silvery-white scales covering his appearance.
He gently stroked the cold and resolute scales, and Gu Qingwan's gentle smile appeared in his mind.
"Boss, you can experience it for yourself."
She guided Jiang Cheng to close his eyes and begin to perceive the distance.
Under Gu Qingwan's guidance, Jiang Cheng's mind seemed to be flooded with endless environmental perceptions, and surging power continuously poured into Jiang Cheng's body.
The vastness of the universe flashed before his eyes. Compared to the mysterious galaxies, Earth in its remote corner was insignificant. It was magnificent enough in the eyes of humans, giving carbon-based life the opportunity to awaken consciousness. But there were countless kinds of life, and human consciousness was just one of the most insignificant of countless miracles.
He seems to have raced from the origins of humanity all the way to the present moment.
The Big Bang, Origin, Extinction...
Humanity is incredibly vulnerable in the face of certain extinct races.
The more Jiang Cheng experienced all of this, the more dazed he became.
With a "whoosh," time seemed to stand still all around.
His senses detached from his body and rushed off into the distance.
Even though Jiang Cheng was standing in the underground laboratory, he could clearly hear the entire contents of a phone call being made by a man in a villa area in the distance.
"Okay, send me the file later, I'll process it when I get back..."
"clatter!"
Meanwhile, the sound of the cat's light footsteps catching Jiang Cheng's attention.
He only needed to concentrate to know that the kitten was about to jump out the window and explore the backyard.
"Splash—"
A sound of water pulled Jiangcheng away from his thoughts.
A kilometer away, the moat's waters rush against the riverbanks.
"Boss, look."
Gu Qingwan chuckled softly, gesturing for Jiang Cheng to continue experiencing it.
"That's... a fish..."
Jiang Cheng only needed to spare a little attention to capture the entire process of the big fish chasing the small fish.
The small fish in front swung its tail, stirring up the silt at the bottom of the river and making the water extremely turbid, while the larger fish pursued it frantically from behind. Jiang Cheng could clearly feel the sharp teeth and the fish's mouth opening and closing, almost biting the terrified little fish.
