Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 1240 Things That Matter

"Alright, alright, at least we're out now, so I can't complain anymore. Let's go to that Spirit Crystal Land you mentioned, isn't it the place where we destroyed the King of the Evil Clan?"

"No, the original Spirit Crystal Land has actually disappeared, because it was essentially just the sum of energy at the Earthly Sovereign level. In addition, during the first hundred years of the Dou Qi Continent's spiritualization, spiritual energy could not immediately fill the entire Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, the development of the original Spirit Crystals also accelerated their demise, and they disappeared completely in less than a hundred years."

"The current Spirit Crystal Land is actually a result of the Jianmu tree taking root and the spiritual energy becoming abundant."

"Essentially, it is the reaction caused by the excessive concentration of battle qi and spiritual qi that produces spirit crystals that are almost solid. Their value is no different from that of pure supreme spiritual liquid. For this reason, the place where the new spirit crystals are formed is no longer under the roots of the Jianmu tree, but at the confluence of the spiritual veins of the Central Plains."

"...So, in that case, your plane was also invaded by the evil race."

After setting off again, Lin Jing looked down and saw that the strange silver-gray metallic crystals that were gradually appearing in her field of vision were increasing. She couldn't help but ask a question.

"Indeed, it was a race called the Devouring Spirit Clan that invaded about 50,000 years ago."

Xiao Se recounted the history he knew, including the efforts of his ancestors, the choices his father made, and the final battles—all of which were mentioned in the biography his mother had compiled.

"So this is ah."

"Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case, but I myself am not a person who personally experienced that era. All I know is the records that have been preserved."

"Eh? Really?"

Lin Jing murmured, "So, you're quite good at telling stories?"

"...I guess so. After all, the stories themselves are other people's lives that are different from mine. My elders told me many stories since I was a child."

"My sister is too."

Xiao Se's slightly delighted reply amused Lin Jing, and the girl in the white dress in front of her covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "You can't stop talking about your sister. I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of person the legendary princess will be."

"Could it be that you like your sister?"

"Of course, we are blood relatives and compatriots who know each other best."

Xiao Se did not let Lin Jing's slightly different answer distract him. Instead, he readily admitted it, making Lin Jing feel quite embarrassed.

"Hmm...that's quite frank."

"Speaking of which, your father, Martial Ancestor..."

"Isn't that something that's already widely known throughout the world? Or do you want to hear the details or some interesting stories? Although I can't describe it as vividly as you do, I do know quite a bit of inside information."

Lin Jing smiled slightly, her beautiful features carrying a hint of humor.

"Then it's better to get down to business first."

Xiao Se raised his eyes. In the place where the roots of the Jianmu trees in the land of guidance could still be seen with the naked eye, countless silver-gray crystals rose from the ground, and a high platform was built above them, where countless powerful people gathered.

A beautiful figure watched Lin Jing turn back and breathed a sigh of relief, then waved to her.

"My mother is really something, she doesn't feel comfortable letting me go anywhere."

"Isn't it good that your aunt is worried about you?"

"What's so good about it... They still treat me like a child all day long."

Lin Jing waved her hand, looking rather troubled, but before she could finish speaking, the boy's reaction seemed a little off.

"...It's certainly a good thing to be able to worry more."

Xiao Se, however, did not think this was a bad thing.

"That's a strange reaction." "Hmm?"

Seeing Xiao Se's somewhat bewildered expression, Lin Jing couldn't help but nudge him and say, "Your expression suddenly changed so strange... Did I say something wrong?"

"……No."

Xiao Se shook his head. Whether rationally or emotionally, he had no intention of blaming Lin Jing for this.

only……

...I'm so worried.

Xiao Se couldn't help but recall the time when he fought against the Maha Ancient Clan. When Maha Tian appeared, he was almost half a body left when his mother's voice rang in his ears.

My impression of my mother is largely based on that moment.

"You still say you're okay? This expression doesn't look like you're alright at all."

Lin Jing put her hands on her hips and lowered her body: "We're practically friends you can talk to, so it's okay for you to confide in me, right?"

"It's nothing, I just lamented that our two mothers have such different personalities."

Xiao Se shook his head, seemingly trying to dispel the thoughts in his mind, but it wasn't just a perfunctory gesture.

"Of course, after all, although my mother is not bad either, she is a woman who is as capable as my father and whose strength is said to be on par with the Yan Emperor. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is the most unconventional woman in the world, right?"

Lin Jing sighed, her gaze towards Xiao Se now showing a hint of sympathy: "Both your parents are unparalleled experts, you must have a heavy burden on your shoulders, right?"

"No wonder you have such a large number of achievements that have been passed down for hundreds of years at such a young age."

"I'm not too bothered by that, but I can't help but care a little."

Xiao Se shook his head. Whether it was the battles of the Maha Ancient Clan, the unification of the entire Sumeru Realm, or the conquest of the Demon Realm over the next few hundred years, even if he lost his hands and feet or his body was torn apart, none of it was a reason for him to feel lost.

"what?"

"...How exactly does my mother view me?"

Xiao Se lowered his voice.

"Eh?"

"What are you talking about... Of course we treat you like a son. You are, after all, the strongest person in the Endless Fire Domain after the Empress. Your reputation has been known for at least a hundred years. Even the most demanding parents wouldn't have any complaints about you, right?"

Lin Jing clearly couldn't quite understand Xiao Se's predicament.

"...If that's all there is to it, then that would be perfect."

However, for Xiao Se, Lin Jing's answer was clearly somewhat unconvincing.

"...Oh, really, don't always make that face. I'm only good at making my dad angry, and I'm not good at comforting people."

Lin Jing scratched her hair in frustration.

"It's nothing. After all, it was just my own overthinking. There's no need to worry about it."

"Ahem... That's true—but if you're so concerned, why don't you go and ask him yourself?"
