My Endless Life.

Chapter 606 Where did you come from?
In this fantasy world based on a gambling world, there is only one way for Li Qi to improve his strength.

It's gambling.

If you lose the bet, you gain nothing, but if you win, a portion of your soul power will drift from your opponent and land on him.

The stronger the opponent he fights, the faster Li Qi's soul power increases.

Although this match is not the final, it is still crucial. If Li Qi can win this match, his share of soul power in this world will probably be maximized.

after all……

He was eliminated in the quarterfinals that year and was unable to advance further.

The winners of this semi-final are Jin Ming and Zhou Chenxing, one of the top four in the previous competition, plus the guy who seems to be the protagonist of this competition. The two of them won.

Li Qi, on the other hand, was defeated by the two due to insufficient ability.

As for Bai Shuangshuang... she was able to arrive here smoothly entirely thanks to her divine intervention skill at a crucial moment.

However, in this particular duel, Bai Shuangshuang's divine intervention came a little late.

Despite scoring a furious number of points at the end, they were ultimately unable to close the gap with the top two teams.

So how can we win this time?
Li Qi stared at the cards in front of him, deep in thought.

To win and gain soul power, Li Qi cannot use abilities outside of the prescribed range. In other words, he must use the same abilities he used in the competition as he does at the card table.

Hearing, along with thermal perception and emotional perception that have not yet evolved into 'spiritual vision,' are the only things Li Qi can use.

With just these abilities, it's absolutely impossible to defeat the overpowered Jin Ming and Zhou Chenxing, unless... Li Qi can make good use of everything on the field.

Thinking of this, Li Qi turned his gaze to Bai Shuangshuang.

Bai Shuangshuang has great potential.

Although Li Qi seems to have a stronger 'gambling ability' than Bai Shuangshuang in this world, in reality, once Bai Shuangshuang activates her divine descent, even Zhou Chenxing, the protagonist of this world, would probably be inferior.

After all, Zhou Chenxing is still just a mortal. How can a mortal defeat a god?
The problem is that Bai Shuangshuang's divine descent is very unstable; it is usually only activated when she is disheartened and desperate.

But this girl is an optimist, so even if she loses, she won't be too upset.

Unless… she’s been targeted to the extreme.

"I'm sorry, Shuangshuang."

Although it was just a fictional character and Bai Shuangshuang herself wasn't there, Li Qi still felt a little apologetic towards her when he thought about what he was about to do.

He observed the current situation of the game, barely able to discern the direction of the game through Zhou Chenxing's fog, and sensing the cards he needed.

Then, he launched an attack on Bai Shuangshuang.

.........

Within the shimmering white barrier of soul power, Li Qi's soul was enveloped.

Xinlian was outside the barrier, gazing at Li Qi who was inside.

She wasn't lying, even though it was a fantasy world she created that placed Li Qi within it.

However, during the stage when Li Qi was absorbing soul power, she really had no way to observe Li Qi's situation in the small world.

In other words, she has no idea what Li Qi is thinking, who he cares about, or who he is concerned about.

There was one thing Kexinlian hadn't told Li Qi.

That is, while Xinlian was helping to build the small world, she was also absorbing the portion of soul power that the Black Dragon gave to Li Qi.

Xinlian did this so that Li Qi wouldn't leave her behind.

"You finally found a successor, don't think you can just get rid of me like this."

Xinlian, absorbing soul power, muttered to herself.

She couldn't remember how long she had been in the pitch-black ocean; it was a number she couldn't estimate.

All she remembers is the feeling of being trapped there, completely empty and lonely.

Every time Xinlian briefly regains consciousness, she wonders when she will be free, and sometimes she even thinks about simply formatting her memories.

At least this way she won't be in so much pain.

Thanks to Li Qi's appearance, she was rescued from the seemingly endless confinement. Therefore, Li Qi's feelings for Xinlian were actually quite special.

Yes, Xinlian chose Li Qi partly because of the love in Li Qi, and partly because Xinlian herself had her own ulterior motives.

Ke Xinlian truly never intended to harm Li Qi.

As the only successor over the years, how could Xinlian possibly be detrimental to him?

She just didn't want Li Qi to abandon her.

It's not about liking or loving anyone; it's simply that I'm afraid of being alone and don't want to go back to being by myself.

Therefore, Xinlian would not allow Li Qi to leave her.

However, Li Qi's consciousness is about to transform into the soul power of the Soul Realm. This cultivation method is completely different from that of the interstellar world. Once Li Qi successfully transforms it, he will break away from the inheritance of Xinlian.

This is irreversible.

Because the inherited mecha was integrated into Li Qi's consciousness space, and the main component of the consciousness space is the consciousness inscription engraved on the soul.

When the inscription is completely erased, consciousness power becomes soul power, and the consciousness power space will also cease to exist.

The feelings that should have been there would pop up on the spot.

Although Li Qi could drive her in the usual way, it wasn't as smooth as when they were one. So Xinlian came up with a solution.

Consciousness and soul power are, in a sense, interconnected.

Because they all use the power of the soul, there's no reason why the power of the soul couldn't do what the power of consciousness can do.

Since the consciousness space no longer exists, we should find a way to create a soul space. To create a soul space, we first need to accept the soul power in Li Qi's body.

Therefore, Xinlian proposed the idea of ​​creating a miniature world.

On the surface, it was to allow Li Qi to better accept the soul power, but in reality, it was to use 'transfer' as an excuse to swallow a portion of the dissipated soul power.

Of course, Xinlian wasn't lying either.

Her actions did indeed allow Li Qi to quickly absorb soul power and wake up; she simply didn't say everything.

"We need to hurry, the consciousness inscription is getting weaker and weaker."

Xinlian raised her head and looked at the runes engraved in her consciousness space, murmuring softly to herself.

The inscriptions that Li Qi had engraved on his soul through the cultivation of consciousness are now gradually fading as he absorbs his power.

The traces of consciousness are gradually being erased, and new power is being generated.

As a 'foreign object' within Li Qi's soul, Xinlian also felt that the force that rejected her was gradually increasing.

She had to quicken her pace.

Otherwise, when Li Qi fully wakes up, it will also be the time when she completely leaves Li Qi's body.

Having absorbed almost all the soul power, Xinlian is now trying to leave her own place in Li Qi's body, following the method of constructing a space of consciousness.

Even if the powers look similar, as long as they are fundamentally different, it is extremely difficult to achieve this.

Xinlian has completed the general outline, but the most crucial part remains elusive.

Because... the core of the final part needs to be connected with Li Qi's soul power.

She wanted to store it in Li Qi's dantian in the form of a magical artifact, but this required Li Qi's permission...

"Can't I live without him...? What should I do now?"

Li Qi has been in the contrived small world for an unknown amount of time. Judging from the speed at which his soul power is disappearing, he should wake up soon.

If he can't resolve this before he wakes up, given Li Qi's wariness of Xinlian, he will absolutely not let Xinlian enter his body again.

Then, Xinlian will truly be abandoned!
"Ugh!! This is so annoying!!! Do you dislike me that much?! What's wrong with accepting me for a moment?!"

"that--"

"You've been wary of me from the very beginning, why are you so suspicious! I would never harm you!"

"Um... um... hello?"

"What are you doing! Can't you see I'm thinking—"

Xinlian, whose "death is imminent," was already extremely agitated, and then there was a voice constantly chattering in her ear, which made her even more agitated.

But when she turned her head and looked at the girl who had appeared beside her at some unknown time, Xinlian suddenly froze. Her big, self-made eyes widened in shock, almost bigger than light bulbs.
"Who are you?! How did you get in?!"

This is Li Qi's consciousness space; logically, there shouldn't be any other people here.

But now, right there in Li Qi's consciousness space, a 'soul entity' with long black hair is standing beside Xin Lian, blinking at her.

Where did this girl come from?

When did she appear?
who is she??

Xinlian had countless questions flashing through her mind.

Until the girl introduces herself:

“My name is Li Qiao. I’m sorry, I woke up here, so I don’t know how I got here… But don’t worry, I’m not a bad person, I’m his sister.”

As Li Qi spoke, he pointed to himself, who was enveloped in a faintly transparent sphere of light.

Even though her appearance had changed and her temperament was completely different, Li Qiao could still recognize at a glance that the person lying in the ball of light was her younger brother, Li Qi.

But Li Qiao also knew that Li Qi's name was different in each of his incarnations, so she did not say Li Qi's name directly, but only said that she was his older sister.

"…elder sister?"

Xinlian was stunned.

Li Qi comes from a large family, so it's normal for him to have several older sisters.

But the girl in front of him didn't look like a member of the Xel'Nak family at all. She didn't resemble anyone from the Xel'Nak family, and she looked completely different from Li Qi.

How could she possibly be Li Qi's sister?

But... this is indeed Li Qi's consciousness space, and unless someone is extremely important and close to Li Qi, they really can't enter here...

"and many more……"

Regardless of whether this girl is Li Qi's sister or not, the fact that she is here means that Li Qi has absolute trust in her.

Furthermore, since the other party was cultivating consciousness power, although it was very weak, it was indeed the rudimentary form of consciousness power. Upon noticing this, Xinlian's eyes immediately lit up.

She immediately moved to Li Qiao's side, grabbed her hands, and asked with intense gaze:
"Your name is Li Qiao, right? Would you be interested in piloting a mecha with your brother?"

My current feelings are being expressed through a roundabout approach.
