Si Yu chuckled: "If we don't die today, how about we start dating tomorrow?"
Luo Yue shook her head: "You kissed me, and our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is officially established from this moment on."
Holding Luo Yue, Si Yu rolled over to dodge another sneak attack and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
He certainly didn't come out to die on purpose, but he had to hold out until the final boss came out before he could call for reinforcements, otherwise it would all be for nothing.
But with Luo Yue by his side, he wondered if he really wanted to take such a big risk.
Fortunately, Luo Yue wasn't a pampered girl. The two of them dealt with wave after wave of attacks, and just when they were about to give up, Si Yu saw the figure surrounded by zombies in the center.
He lay back on the ground, panting heavily, with Luo Yue in his arms: "As expected of Nie Qu, he's fucking hard to kill."
The zombies stepped aside, revealing the purple-eyed leader in the center—it was Nie Qu.
They no longer wear the same research gowns they've worn for years, and their appearance is no longer that of middle-aged people.
The man who appeared was tall and well-fitting in a suit, standing out in the post-apocalyptic world with his neat appearance and handsome features, looking like a young man in his early twenties.
Especially her pair of purple eyes, which exuded nobility, and the way she looked at Si Yu with a natural disdain, as if she were looking at some lowly creature.
"I am committed to changing the world, elevating human genes, and making them comparable to higher-dimensional beings, so I will naturally find ways to avoid being eliminated in the process of evolution."
Si Yu collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, but laughed wildly: "Indeed, no matter how you look at it, you are unparalleled, so I have no right to deny your vision."
"But I want to say... sometimes when your thinking is too advanced, you won't be accepted by the vast majority of people."
"At least... the extermination of most of humanity in exchange for the evolution you mentioned, I find that disgusting. I don't want to waste my breath on you. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Pressing the signal device in his hand, a vertical spatial rift appeared next to Si Yu.
At first, a black line appeared out of thin air, then the black line was pulled apart, revealing An Sang and the others sitting in the Sang Palace.
Luo Yue's eyes flickered slightly; it was indeed pre-arranged...
They looked at each other across the distance, and An Sang said politely, "Father, it's been a long time."
Nie Qu sized up the man who was both strange and familiar, and said with a smile, "I never thought a daughter would turn into a son. Asang always manages to surprise her father. Did you know I wasn't dead?"
An Sang shook his head: "I don't know, but I have a feeling that you won't die so easily, and my brother won't die so quickly either. What kind of deal is there between you?"
"A deal? Hahaha, didn't you always know that An Xiuqi only wanted to go home from the beginning, while what I want is... to transcend humanity and enter a higher-dimensional world!"
"You've been waiting for me today, and I've been waiting for you too. The crystal has been divided, hasn't it? Then let's reverse the universe and go back to before the destruction of Canglan. Jingxing, what are you hiding for?"
A menacing man appeared, his eyes now completely black, standing amidst the horde of zombies, yet no one dared to approach him.
An Sang got up and stepped out of the torn space, standing firmly in front of Nie Jingxing.
A crystal appeared at the heart, about half the size of a fist, crystal clear and as pure as the cleanest spring water at the mountain peak.
Yu Wei and Lin Changli appeared, their brows furrowed. They couldn't understand what was going on either.
Nie Jingxing and Nie Qu reached out at the same time, wanting the crystal, but An Sang narrowed her peach blossom eyes and held it in her own hand.
Nie Jingxing remained as taciturn as ever, uttering only two words: "Give it to me."
In contrast, Nie Qu was much more humane and began to explain: "If you give the crystal to Jing Xing, An Xiuqi will be resurrected, but in the way that he will be completely devoured by Jing Xing."
"Well... to be precise, it will become nourishment, and Jingxing will be free from any obstacles, becoming a complete high-dimensional life form."
Ansang calmly asked, "What difference would it make if I gave it to you?"
“Give it to me, and An Xiuqi will survive as an independent individual. I will help him completely annihilate Jing Xing. With the power recovery and my assistance, he can travel through time again to return to before the Canglan Star was destroyed.”
"You're willing to divide your power again, which means you care a lot about this older brother, so you must be willing to give in."
"For An Xiuqi, the shattered Canglan is an indelible nightmare. He is the royal blood of the Canglan high dimension, and his inherent pride makes it impossible for him to accept the fragmentation of his territory."
“Every second he spent on our planet was a disgrace to him. If you don’t want to go back, we can let you go, but you can’t stop your brother from sacrificing his life to achieve your great cause.”
Yu Wei clenched her fists and murmured, "So it was another scheme. There must be a reason why he gave his crystal to Kong Sang, right? Otherwise, he could have just joined forces with you to eliminate Nie Jingxing directly, without having to go through such a roundabout way."
Nie Qu said helplessly, "His crystal is already on the verge of collapse due to his repeated attempts to jump through timelines. It needs Asang to warm it with her own body to regenerate it."
"But this can't be considered a scheme. At least you've completely integrated, which has brought a new life to Asang."
"Dad plans to go with An Xiuqi to see the world ruled by higher dimensions. If possible, I can study time tunnels so that you can live there too. Asang, grant Dad's wish and also grant your brother's wish."
An Sang burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes filled with contempt.
"I'll grant your wish... What are you? On one timeline, I did something stupid. This time, the power is in my hands. How I decide to control my life is none of your business."
The crystal crumbled into dust in her slender hand. An Sang tilted her head, staring at Nie Qu's stunned, smiling face with a playful expression: "Surprised?"
Nie Qu frowned: "You don't have the power to divide? The crystal is fake."
"No, I broke up, but because of the memory recovery from the previous timeline, my emotions are quite unstable."
"One minute I feel like I hate you guys to death, and the next I'm thinking about all the things that happened in this timeline. I think I'm getting depressed."
“I divided my power and then swallowed it back, swallowed it and then divided it again. Last night the crystal was completely separated, but suddenly I don’t want to be separated from my brother anymore.”
"What do I care about going home, what do I care about Canglan? I don't want to please anyone else, I want you to please me!"
"When I have no power, I am timid in everything. Now that I have power, why can't I do whatever I want? Isn't the law of survival of the fittest?"
“Only when flesh and blood and soul are together are we truly intimate, so I don’t intend to give him a body and instead take all the power back.”
"Looking back now, I was right after all. My brother is leaving, how can that be? I need my brother!"
The last sentence was surprisingly spoken in a female voice, as if she were coquettishly pleading with her brother...
Nobody thinks An-san is normal right now; he's a complete yandere.
Luo Yue's hair stood on end. She clung tightly to Si Yu, feeling a lingering fear for her past reckless advances towards An Sang.
A deathly silence fell over everyone except Lin Changli, who didn't seem to care. He put his arm around An Sang and said with a smile, "Sang Sang is so clever. This way, she can keep her brother by her side, and he's obedient and well-behaved. It's the best of both worlds."
