Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 177 Yue Kui bids farewell!

The air was filled with the faint scent of lavender, the sun shone brightly outside the window, and birds sang sweetly. The disaster that had occurred in the suburbs had no effect on the Nirvana Institute.

Bai Jingyu sat by Bai Yuekui's hospital bed.

Bai Yuetian is also here.

"The ecosystem is unlikely to launch any new attacks in the short term."

"I should go back to my village too."

Bai Yuekui said calmly, "Please be sure to notify me when the time-space portal opens next time."

After Nirvana's treatment, she is now out of danger.

Although Nirvana cannot cure her immediately, it is still possible to stabilize her condition by gathering the best medical resources in the Old World when she first vomits blood.

It's not as difficult as Dragon Bone Village.

“It’s time to go back to the village. We’ve been here for quite a while now.” Bai Yuetian rested his chin on his hand.

He said thoughtfully, "If we move the village to Jiuchuan, the villagers will no longer have to worry about the environment, and we will never go back to that rotten time and space again."

Bai Yuekui glanced at Bai Yuetian lightly.

"I want to go back to the village." She looked at Bai Jingyu and repeated her words.

Bai Yuetian nodded: "Let's go back!"

Bai Jingyu pursed his lips, and he read the true meaning that Bai Yuekui wanted to express from Bai Yuekui's eyes.

"Yuekui, don't you want to stay in Jiuchuan?" he whispered.

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

"Little sister?" He turned to look at Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui nodded.

She replied, "This world is beautiful and full of hope, but it is not my world after all."

“We can help each other, but I can’t abandon my hometown. If I leave too, there will truly be no hope for that world.”

Bai Yuetian looked puzzled.

He wondered, "What's so great about our world? It's full of Mana flowers, and you can run into a Devouring Beast every few steps. There's nothing to eat, drink, or do. How can it compare to this place?"

"Heluo stir-fry is your favorite!"

"You devoured the whole table of food that day; now all we'll have left when we get back to the village are mushrooms!"

Bai Yuetian looked at Bai Yuekui with hopeful eyes.

He hoped that Bai Yuekui would change his mind and stay in Jiuchuan in this timeline to enjoy a life of luxury, instead of going back to the cesspool and swimming naked in style.

Bai Yuekui was silent for two seconds, then shook his head.

"I want to go back."

“But I will make sure everyone in the village comes to Jiuchuan.”

“They have already sacrificed enough for that world. I once promised to take everyone to see a new world, and this is a way of fulfilling my promise.”

Bai Yuetian's brain seemed to freeze.

He had spent decades with Bai Yuekui during the apocalypse, and he could feel Bai Yuekui's unwavering determination.

but
"Why?"

Bai Yuetian said anxiously, "There has to be a reason. You can't just go back to suffer and be taken advantage of because that world is your hometown, can you?"

Bai Jingyu remains silent.

He was even more eager than Bai Yuetian for Bai Yuekui to stay, but his relationship with Bai Yuekui was too delicate, and he was worried that speaking up would have the opposite effect.

Bai Yuekui raised his head.

She first looked at Bai Yuetian, and then at Bai Jingyu.

"Grey, who killed my father, is still alive; my Abyss Keeper is still on the Lighthouse; Ash is still trapped in Crotori; the ecosystem has taken away everyone I knew in the Old World; the life iteration system is not complete; and I still have a plan to fight the ecosystem that I haven't implemented!"

"These are the reasons why I went back without hesitation."

“I don’t think going back would be a loss or a hardship. The suffering I’ve endured over the years has numbed me. I’m not afraid of more pain. I’m only afraid that I haven’t accomplished what I wanted to accomplish and that I haven’t fulfilled the wishes of those who died because of me.”

"so."

Bai Yuekui stared at Bai Jingyu's face and said, word by word, "Please allow me to go back."

"Yue Kui!" Bai Yuetian pleaded, drawing out his words.

“I know you want to save that world, but there’s an order to saving worlds. Wouldn’t it be better if we saved this easier world first, and then used the experience and resources we’ve accumulated in that world to save our own world?”

Bai Yuekui ignored Bai Yuetian.

She simply looked at Bai Jingyu quietly, waiting for his answer.

"I understand." Bai Jingyu nodded slowly.

"I will notify you when the time portal opens next time, so you won't miss it."

Bai Yuekui nodded.

Bai Yuetian looked at Bai Jingyu with a puzzled expression: "Dad, why did you agree to her so easily?"

Bai Jingyu took a deep breath.

He replied, "Yue Kui came into this world because she trusted me. I cannot let her down, and I will not force her to do anything she does not like." Bai Yuetian was speechless.

To be honest, he might be pleased if Bai Jingyu could firmly refuse Bai Yuekui.

Since only Bai Jingyu can open the time-space passage, as long as Bai Jingyu disagrees, Bai Yuekui cannot go anywhere, giving him time to persuade Bai Yuekui to change his mind.

But since Bai Jingyu agreed, there was no room for negotiation.

Bai Yuekui is going back to the village.

"What are your plans for the future? You must have thought about something this big by now, right?" Bai Yuetian asked dejectedly.

Bai Yuekui nodded slightly.

"Next time the time portal opens, if there's an opportunity, let's move everyone from Dragon Bone Village to Jiuchuan first."

She continued, "Then I will go to the lighthouse and extract the ASH from Crotori. With it and Master Lai by my side, the next round of the attack on the blood will not be delayed."

Bai Yuetian frowned as he listened.

He couldn't help but interrupt Bai Yuekui: "You, ASH, Master Lai, are you three going to carry out the next round of the attack on the bloody plan?"

"Isn't that enough?" Bai Yuekui retorted.

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

Is it enough?
In terms of survival, ASH's digital clones can simulate the magnetic field signals of the original Mana body, and the robots can repair the shielding towers, so even if the village is deserted, the existing territory will not shrink.

With no one in the village, Bai Yuekui won't be burdened by any unexpected events.

ASH and Master Lai can offer Bai Yuekui advice and strategies, and can also provide strong military support when necessary.

That seems to be enough.

Ultimately, it was never Bai Yuekui who depended on the village for survival, but rather the village that depended on Bai Yuekui for its existence.

Bringing everyone from the village to Jiuchuan liberated both the villagers and Bai Yuekui.

"And what about me?" Bai Yuetian asked.

Without hesitation, Bai Yuekui replied, "You stay in this world to help everyone integrate into Jiuchuan, and you also need to protect it."

"Our father," Bai Yuekui uttered with difficulty.

Bai Yuetian's eyes widened: "You don't want me anymore?!"

His face was full of disbelief, and his eyes showed a hint of grievance, like an abandoned puppy.

Bai Yuekui raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing?" she said in a deep voice.

“Someone needs to be with everyone during this time to help them adapt to life here. It’s either you or me, and Dad needs protection too. Do you want this world to repeat the same mistakes?”

Bai Yuetian was stunned.

"You stay here, I'll go back," Bai Yuekui said slowly. "It's not like we'll never see each other again."

"You guys go out."

"I'm tired."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and lay down.

A few seconds later, Bai Jingyu stood up first. He and Bai Yuetian exchanged a glance, then turned and walked out of the ward.

Bai Yuetian followed closely behind, dejected.

The two left the ward.

"Dad, are you really not going to try to persuade her?" Bai Yuetian asked, his face full of worry.

"She's all alone, and her illness hasn't been cured yet. What if she encounters danger?"

"Although she said she was going to the Lighthouse to retrieve ASH from the Kroto system, decades have passed in that timeline, and ASH has been fused with the Primordial Body for so long. Who knows what ASH is thinking now?"

Bai Yuetian's worry for Bai Yuekui was palpable.

His concerns are valid.

In the post-apocalyptic world, ASH and the original Mana are intertwined. Without server support, ASH might be infected by the consciousness of the original Mana, giving rise to some ideas that are detrimental to humanity.

Bai Jingyu sighed softly.

"If Yue Kui can shelter a village during a turbulent apocalypse, I believe she can protect herself."

"I'm also very worried about Yue Kui's illness, but this matter will take time."

Miracle K and Angel Potion have both been successful in their respective fields, but there are no successful cases of Nirvana injecting both of these drugs simultaneously, which requires further experimental verification.

Both of the two Kui were his daughters.

He couldn't let one daughter risk her life for the sake of the other.

He must ensure a successful outcome before he can administer these two medicines to the Moon King in this timeline, so that he can obtain healthy and powerful cells to help cure the Moon King in the post-apocalyptic timeline.

"Alas!" Bai Yuetian sighed deeply.

Bai Jingyu comforted him, "Don't worry too much. The spacetime tunnel is opened quite frequently, so even if we are separated in different times and spaces, we can still make contact often."

Bai Yuetian lowered his head, looking dejected.

"Can't you just stay?"
