Symbiosis
When Xiang Jinyang woke up from a deep sleep, the first thing he sensed was not the improvement of his own injuries, but the resonance lingering deep in the core of the rules, which had become solid and stable.
It was no longer weak, no longer requiring his deliberate maintenance. It was as natural as breathing, as constant as a heartbeat, gently yet powerfully connecting him to the source of He Yuan, forming a perfect, internally circulating energy circuit.
He slowly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is no longer the dilapidated scene of broken walls and collapsed rules in memory.
A gentle light filled the vision. Above the sky, silvery, regular veins harmoniously intertwined with the blue, radiant rivers of code, forming a dynamic and magnificent dome. The earth beneath my feet was solid and warm, with newly formed spiritual plants and clusters of crystals gleaming with a metallic sheen growing in a patchwork pattern. A clear stream meandered through, its dancing points of light resembling lively spiritual fish and the gentle, darting flow of data.
Is this... still Jintian Realm?
Xiang Jinyang was somewhat dazed. This space still retained some of the characteristics of the Jintian Realm, but it also radiated an unprecedented, vibrant vitality and a strange charm that perfectly blended with a cold precision.
"woke up?"
A familiar voice came from beside me, with a hint of imperceptible concern.
Xiang Jinyang turned to see He Yuan sitting not far from him. He still looked the same, his features sharp, but the sharp aggression surrounding him had subsided into a deep tranquility. He raised his hand and tapped in the air. Countless fine silver codes, like docile spirits, blended with the surrounding environment as his fingertips moved, subtly adjusting the stability parameters of a newly generated rule.
His movements were skillful and his expression was focused, as if he was born to be a part of this space.
Seeing Xiang Jinyang looking at him, He Yuan stopped, turned his head, and a shallow, genuine smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "How do you feel?"
Xiang Jinyang thought slightly, sensing his own state. While his core of rules was far from restored to its prime, the feeling of weakness on the verge of exhaustion and the bone-chilling cold had completely disappeared. In its place, a warm, endless vitality slowly nourished him through the bond of resonance, slowly nourishing the damage he had suffered over eons.
"...Very good." He replied softly, his glazed eyes clearly reflecting this new world and He Yuan's figure, "Here..."
"It's our 'new system,'" He Yuan said, his tone tinged with the slight pride that only a technician could muster. "It's a stable architecture built based on our fundamental resonance frequency. I call it—'Spiritual Harmony Realm.'"
The world of telepathy.
A little spiritual communication, dual-core symbiosis.
Xiang Jinyang silently recited this name in his heart, and a strange warm current quietly flowed through the lake of his heart.
"You fixed this place," he stated, his eyes scanning the rules and codes that coexisted harmoniously.
"No," He Yuan shook his head and corrected himself seriously. "It's 'we.'" He pointed to a strange plant not far away that was half spiritual vine, half data light vine. "Look there. My code provides the optimal structural support model, but it's your Heavenly Dao vitality that truly brings it to life and allows it to continue to grow. We are both indispensable."
His gaze returned to Xiang Jinyang, with pure admiration and undisguised joy: "You look...good now."
It is no longer pale and fragile, but as warm as jade, faintly revealing its inherent brilliance.
Xiang Jinyang felt slightly embarrassed by his gaze, subconsciously avoiding the overly direct gaze. A faint pink tinged his ears. He lowered his head, looking at his own hands. His fingertips moved slightly, and a wisp of silver rule power imbued with new strength flowed through them, naturally interspersed with a few subtle streams of blue code that resonated with his essence.
They no longer conflict, but blend harmoniously like the yin and yang fish.
"It seems that the compatibility issue between 'bug' and 'administrator' has been preliminarily resolved?" He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at He Yuan, with a very faint, almost imperceptible hint of ridicule in his eyes.
He Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He didn't expect Xiang Jinyang to bring up this offensive word he had used to define them.
"It's not a solution." He stood up, walked to Xiang Jinyang, squatted down, and looked at him at eye level, his eyes deep and focused, "It's an upgrade."
"We are no longer a 'system' and a 'bug,'" he said, extending his hand and gently brushing away a strand of silver hair that fell from Jinyang's cheek with his fingertips. "Instead, we form a more advanced, unique... dual-core system."
His fingertips had a slightly cool touch, but Xiang Jinyang felt the skin being touched was a little hot.
"Moreover," He Yuan's fingertips slowly moved downwards, lightly touching Xiang Jinyang's heart, where his essence resonated, "this 'bug' of mine seems to have obtained the highest administrator's...full 'access rights'."
His words still contained technical metaphors, but the meaning behind them was so ambiguous that the air seemed thicker.
Xiang Jinyang's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, and the heat on his cheeks threatened to spread. He wanted to retort, to maintain the aloofness of the incarnation of Heaven, but he found that before those eyes fixed intently on him, all his defenses were useless.
He could only turn his head slightly, pursed his lips, and whispered: "...nonsense."
However, his tone did not contain much reprimand, but rather sounded like helpless indulgence.
He Yuan chuckled softly and stopped pressing. He stood up and pulled Xiang Jinyang up with him.
"Let's go," he held Xiang Jinyang's hand, interlocking their fingers naturally, "I'll take you to see our 'Spiritual Realm'."
Palms touching, warmth blending in. It's no longer just a transfer of energy, but also a close connection.
He Yuan took him for a stroll in this new world.
They walked across grasslands where streams of data flowed, and the points of light would intimately surround their feet.
They stopped in front of the waterfall constructed by rule runes and code matrices, watching the silver and blue light interweaving and pouring down, magnificent and extraordinary.
They even discovered a small orchard. Half of the fruits on the trees were spiritual fruits full of spiritual energy, and the other half were translucent data crystals condensed with pure energy.
Like a child showing off his own work, He Yuan enthusiastically explained to him the ingenuity of every design detail—where the optimal energy circulation algorithm was introduced, where the most pleasant environmental parameters were simulated, and where the artistic conception of "tranquility" and "vitality" that he had grasped from Xiang Jinyang's rhythm of heaven was embedded...
Xiang Jin listened quietly, looking at his energetic profile. The cold ruins in his heart seemed to be filled up little by little, and dyed with warm colors by this vibrant scene and the other party's unconcealed joy.
He used to be the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao in this world, overlooking all living beings and maintaining order, but he had never truly "felt" the birth and growth of a world as he did now, and as a participant and owner.
All this is because of the "resonance" between them.
Because they are... together.
He Yuan stopped under the giant tree that was nurtured by starlight and algorithms.
The giant tree is lush with branches and leaves, half of which sparkles with star-like light, and the other half flows with a quiet code glow. Countless flexible tendrils of light hang down, like natural curtains, covering the space under the tree into a private and peaceful area.
"Do you like it here?" He Yuan turned around, still holding his hand, and asked softly.
Xiang Jinyang looked up at this miraculous world built by their joint strength, and at the incredible existence in front of him that pulled him out of eternal loneliness.
Thousands of words surged in my heart, and finally turned into an extremely light but weightless word.
"……happiness."
The moment he finished speaking, he saw thousands of stars suddenly light up in He Yuan's eyes.
The light was so intense, so focused, it almost melted him.
He Yuan slowly tightened his clasped hands, shortening the distance between them.
So close that you can clearly feel each other's breath and count your own reflections in each other's eyes.
"Xiang Jinyang," he called his name, his voice low and gentle, with a solemn sense of ritual, "I don't know what the correct 'procedure' is for loving a person... or rather, loving an existence."
His words still bear his unique stamp.
"But I've detected that when I resonate with you, my core operating efficiency will surge abnormally, accompanied by a large amount of redundant and pleasant data flow that cannot be analyzed by normal logic."
"When I saw you come back to life, my memory was completely filled with signals of 'satisfaction' and 'relief'."
"And when I think about being able to coexist with you like this in the future... all my calculations point to the same result—"
He paused, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to carve the appearance of the person in front of him into the deepest part of his soul.
"—That is, I want to always have the 'highest access' to you. Not as an intruder, but as... the only 'symbiont'."
He raised his other hand and gently stroked Xiang Jinyang's cheek with his fingertips, his movements filled with care and cherishment.
"Would you like to...authorize it?"
Xiang Jinyang stared at him in a daze, listening to this confession which was wrapped in the most bizarre "code love words" but was more sincere and moving than any oath.
The frozen lake of my heart completely boiled.
All hesitation and reserve vanished at this moment.
He stood on tiptoe slightly and took the initiative to press his slightly cold lips against He Yuan's mouth, which was filled with astonishment and ecstasy.
Use one action to give the most direct answer.
Authorization approved.
Telepathy,
This life will never change.
