The moment Lu Nange asked that question, the whole world... froze.
She saw that Lu Beiye's tear tracks were still glistening, and his mouth was slightly open... Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, and everyone else, all their movements, were frozen in time.
Even the dust particles floating in the air seemed to freeze in place under the light.
Only Lu Nange can still move, think, and feel her own heart beating.
"This is..." She looked around, her voice unusually clear in the absolute silence.
"Nan Nan! I missed you so much!"
A cheerful, almost exaggerated electronic sound rang out, and then a ball of light the size of a fist appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Nange.
Yes, yes.
"It's me! It's me!" The ball of light bounced up and down happily twice.
"Yes, yes, what's wrong with A-Ye and the others?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, Aye and the others are fine. I just temporarily cut off the flow of time in this small world so that I can talk to you."
It flew around Lu Nange once: "Nannan, now that Hei Ba has been sent back, there is a temporary vacuum in the regulatory authority of this small world."
The main system has authorized me to temporarily manage the operation and maintenance of this small world!
Lu Nange's gaze passed over Youyou and landed on the charred, withered piece of wood: "You're acting as the agent for this world? Then can you bring Zhizhi back to life?"
The sphere of light suddenly stopped moving up and down.
Lu Nange's heart sank: "Can't...?"
"No, no, no!" Youyou quickly denied, the ball of light spinning rapidly: "Nannan, don't misunderstand! On the contrary! Zhizhi is still alive!"
"What? You're saying Zhizhi is still alive? Where is it?"
"Nan Nan, it's here!"
As soon as Youyou finished speaking, a faint emerald green light suddenly appeared at the top of the charred, withered tree trunk.
Immediately afterwards, the green light slowly detached from the dead wood, rose up, and finally transformed into a seed the size of a black bean, with a bright green color all over.
The seed fell into Lu Nange's palm.
“Zhizhi…” Lu Nange’s voice choked with emotion.
"Nannan, Zhizhi is not a native plant of this world."
It was originally one of the 'core of life' in other small worlds, a special existence with self-awareness that was born by chance in the operation of billions of universes.
When Black Tyrant invaded that small world, he stole the not-yet-fully-matured Black Tyrant and forcibly transplanted it into this world, attempting to transform it into his own energy source, surveillance system, and weapon, in order to better control this small world.
However, although Black King contaminated the branch with a program when he activated it, the branch's life essence was too high and it was not completely controlled.
Instead, it retained its purest intelligence during several resistances, and after meeting you, it chose you as its master and family.
Now that Black Overlord has been defeated, the pollution on Zhizhi has also been largely cleared away during the battle where her very essence was exhausted.
However, as the 'origin of life', it has its own responsibilities to fulfill, and it needs to return to its original small world to maintain the life cycle and balance of that universe.
If it remains here indefinitely, neglecting its duties, its essence will gradually wither and eventually disappear completely.
Lu Nange's tears fell, landing right on the emerald green seed in her palm.
“I understand…” Lu Nange lowered her head and looked at the seed: “As long as I know it’s still alive, that’s enough.”
"Nan Nan, don't cry! I can... uh, I can... apply to the main system and see if we can find a way to keep Zhizhi by your side!"
After all, you, Zhizhi, and your friends were the top heroes in eliminating the Black Tyrant and saving this little world. The main system might show you some leniency...
"Is it okay?" Lu Nange suddenly raised her head.
