My Endless Life.

Chapter 607 A Different Little World

Dazzling magic shimmered in the air.

Having experienced the magical world again, he is now more adept at using soul power.

He felt that he didn't even need to go to the next small world to completely control this part of the soul power.

Although it was a bit fast, and the amount of soul power he mastered was much less than he had imagined, it was still a good thing for Li Qi.

He should wake up soon.

However, to be on the safe side, Li Qi decided to go to the next small world first.

With a shift in perspective, the small world that had absorbed the soul power shattered before Li Qi's eyes, just like a game screen.

Once the image re-formed, Li Qi had already arrived in the next world.

However... this world seems a little different from the previous ones.

"Ronnie!! What are you doing?! Start it now!!!"

As Relic No. 5 was about to take off, it struggled upwards in the sky, and Carol's anxious urging rang out at the same time.

However, beneath Relic No. 5, the gathered mist seemed to be alive, entwining around the lowest part of Relic No. 5.

Relic No. 5 is an interstellar spaceship in the Misty World responsible for opening up the outside world and leading humanity away from the planet that has become a wasteland, and towards the stars in the universe.

According to the standards of the interstellar world, the spaceship is only at the planetary level.

Its volume is less than half that of a continent.

But taking all the remaining humans with them is still possible.

When Li Qi finally left the Misty World, Ronnie had already brought back the complete Relic No. 5. Before long, he would be able to take the rest of the people to the cosmos.

However, because Li Qi was rejected by the Misty World at the time, he could not see what the spaceship looked like after it took off.

Logically speaking, the small world shouldn't conjure up things that Li Qi hasn't seen or experienced before... so what's going on now?

"I'm trying! I'm really trying!! But this guy... this guy seems to be alive!!"

Ronnie, who was fused with and controlled by Core Five, had turned red in the face.

He tried his best to keep Number Five intact and to break free from the control of the mist monster below, but whether it was because Ronnie's strength was too weak or the mist monster was too strong, Ronnie was unable to break free from the monster's grip no matter what he did.

"Number Five! Can't you think of something?!"

Having exhausted all other options, Ronnie cried out for help to Consciousness Number Five, who was using the Mirror Flower Body nearby.

As the intelligent core of the entire Ark spaceship, Number Five had provided Ronnie with maximum assistance from the very beginning. He... now it should be her, with all computing power being used to power the Ark's propulsion system.

But it's obvious that doing so won't work.

Number Five remained silent, while the people inside the Ark were in complete chaos.

Standing beside Gel was Chris, Lich's mother from the Misty World. She stood on the edge of the window, looking down at the mist monsters that were trying to preserve all life on the Ark. She exchanged a glance with Gel beside her.

Neither of them said a word, but they seemed to understand each other's feelings. They both looked at Carol and Ronnie, and Chris said:

"Ronnie, Carol, open the hatch and let me down. I'll deal with that monster."

"Huh?! Are you out of your mind, Chris?!"

Upon hearing Chris's words, Carol, who could only watch helplessly, turned around angrily and said to Chris:
"You think you can handle a monster like that? Don't be stupid! Stay here with me!"

“Chris might not be able to handle it.” Gel stepped forward, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at Chris. “But together, we might be able to hold it off for a while.”

"Lengler, you too—"

Carol stared incredulously at the couple in front of her.

Chris and Gel had already made up their minds, and seeing that the two were determined, Carol angrily stepped forward and grabbed Chris's collar.

The petite, pseudo-loli girl was holding onto her like this, as if she were hanging on the other person's body.

However, no one laughed at Carol now, because anyone could see that Carol was very angry.

"You guys are kidding me!!" Carol stared directly into Chris's golden eyes, angrily pointing at Li Qi standing to the side:
"You abandoned this child for so many years! Now that the family is finally reunited, you're going to abandon him again and run away! Do you really care about Li Qi?!"

"..."

Carol's words were a wake-up call.

Chris and Gel remained silent, and even Richie, who was standing there, was too quiet to say a word.

Carol... After hundreds of years, Li Qi's impression of Carol had become very faint. He had even forgotten what kind of person she was, only remembering that she had pink hair and a body like a loli.

And... has a very straightforward personality... or rather, a short temper?

Apart from that, Li Qi couldn't remember much about her.

But at this moment, as Carol lashed out at Chris and questioned them about how to treat Richard, something inside Richard was touched.

Compared to Chris and Gel, whom he met last, Richie was more familiar with and closer to Carol. However, he was unable to tell her the truth and say goodbye properly until the very end, which was a great regret for Richie.

Li Qi remained silent, while Carol stared intently at Chris's face, which held both anger and sorrow.

This anger and sorrow are directed at Chris.

Chris avoided Carol's gaze and looked at Li Qi standing not far away. Carol didn't know, and even Ger didn't know, that the Li Qi standing there was not the real Li Qi.

He was merely a relic possessing Li Qi's memories.

It's called Adam III, a replacement left behind by Li Qi so as not to sadden the people here.

Chris knew this, but she couldn't tell anyone.

After all, Adam III hadn't really done anything wrong; he was simply strictly following the instructions left behind by Richie.

This is a source of pain for Chris.

She failed to take good care of her child, and in the end, she didn't even have time to spend with him, watching him pass away helplessly.

But she was unable to do anything.

Therefore, Chris has always wanted to leave Adam 3's side, because seeing Adam 3 would remind Chris of the real Richie.

Although Ger didn't know what had happened, he loved Chris deeply, so even though it saddened him to leave his child alone in the world, Ger still wanted to leave with Chris.

However, Carol's questioning left the two of them somewhat at a loss.

Chris couldn't bring herself to say anything about Adam III, and Gel also felt guilty towards Richie. The two fell silent.

"Why won't you speak!" Carol couldn't wait any longer. The mist monsters outside were still there; she didn't have time to chat with Chris about these trivial matters. She simply grabbed Chris's collar tightly and shouted angrily:

“Listen, Chris! If you and Ger just leave like this, abandoning Richie again, I will despise you! And have you even considered that even if you leave here, can you really handle that monster outside?”

It's in the middle of nowhere.

The monster, seemingly composed of all the mist, is preventing the Ark from leaving, and its strength is likely far beyond what the people on board the Ark imagined.

Chris and Gel leave to stop the Mist Monster; they might succeed, but failure is also possible.

If they fail, their sacrifice will have been in vain.

Is there no other way?
As Carol and the others were locked in a stalemate, Li Qi, who was near the window, looked at the mist monster outside and used his 'Spirit Vision'. In an instant, he saw through the rules contained within the monster's body.

...Do rules really exist?

The moment Li Qi saw the rules within the monster's body, he was quite surprised.

The existence of rules indicates that this small world is not simply something that Xinlian has created. But if it is not something that Xinlian has created, how could Li Qi, who cannot leave the consciousness space, go to the real small world?
As Li Qi pondered these thoughts, the Ark suddenly shook. Number Five, now using the Mirror Flower's body, looked extremely uncomfortable. Ronnie, who was controlling the Ark, also turned red in the face, and he practically forced out a sound from his throat:

"I...I'm about to...not hold on any longer—!"

"...We can't hesitate any longer, Carol!"

Ronnie's shout brought Chris back to her senses. She bit her lower lip and said to Carol with a determined look:

"We're out of time. Whatever the method, we should try!"

Seeing that Chris had made up her mind, Carol couldn't help but feel a little sad. She was about to say something to Chris when she suddenly heard a voice:
"No, perhaps we have another way."

“…Li Qi?”

All eyes turned to Li Qi, and Carol called out his name, looking at him in surprise.

Without explaining, Li Qi turned to Ronnie and said:
"Ronnie, send me to the lowest level."

"...Master, are you serious?!"

"Stop arguing and just do it."

Li Qi then turned around and glared at Ronnie. When their eyes met, Ronnie paused for a moment, then suddenly understood something.

Ronnie could actually sense that his master had been acting strangely lately.

Although he seemed no different from before, Ronnie felt that something about him was different... whether he had become gentler or lost his oppressive aura.

But now, Ronnie feels that his former master has returned!

Such an unquestionable tone made Ronnie almost hesitate to use the space inside the ark to transfer Li Qi to the lowest level of the ark.

"and many more--!"

Chris was also stunned for a moment when Li Qi spoke. Only when Li Qi's figure disappeared did she realize what was going on and quickly reached out to stop him.

However, her reaction was somewhat slow and late.

Ronnie has already sent Li Qi to the lower levels.

Everything happened so fast that Carol was caught off guard. Only after Richie disappeared did Carol glare angrily at Ronnie:

"You brat, what are you doing?!"

"Ah...but...but Master told me to take him down..."

"You just listen to whatever he says?! Damn it... Chris!... Chris?"

Carol turned to look at Chris. She had intended to say something to Chris, but when she saw Chris's current state, she couldn't utter a single word.

Because right now, Chris's face is covered in tears.
