After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Every time Ye Chen's fist slammed down, it was like a meteor falling to earth.

The surrounding snow-capped mountains collapsed one after another.

"We can't keep dragging this on."

Lin Chu fully activated the "Array" principle.

Golden array patterns spread out from the void like chains, enveloping Ye Chen completely.

Ye Chen roared and threw a punch, cracking a ravine dozens of miles long in the ice field beneath his feet.

Jian Li and Jian Shi attacked simultaneously, using the array technique to press down layer upon layer.

After an unknown amount of time, the struggle gradually subsided.

He eventually knelt on the ice, unable to move any further.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This tactic of restraining the enemy, preventing them from being killed, and only suppressing them with all one's might is far more dangerous than a life-or-death battle.

Liu Ying and Xian Yue turned pale, and Fu Yao's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

Lin Chu raised her hand, signaling everyone to retreat.

His gaze fell on Ye Chen, his brows furrowed tightly.

"He can't be saved."

Qinglian spoke softly, her face showing reluctance.

"That thing has become one with him."

Everyone fell silent.

Lin Chu could tell that Ye Chen's body was actually on its last legs.

Compared to a dead person, they are just one breath away from death.

Lin Chu stared at Ye Chen for a long while, and then a gentle white light rose around her.

The Art of the Holy Word.

Since comprehending the law, he has used this method less and less.

Firstly, the consumption is too great, and secondly, there really aren't many opportunities to use it.

But given the current situation, maybe we can give it a try, even if it's a last resort.

Lin Chu took a step forward, took a deep breath, and her lips moved slightly.

"May your soul return."

Fortune poured out like a river bursting its banks.

The four words, imbued with spiritual energy and fortune, transformed into golden sound waves that passed through the array wall and landed on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's body trembled violently.

The whites of his eyes gradually appeared in his dark red pupils.

A sliver of clarity returned.

"it works!"

Qinglian covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Chu's heart also pounded.

It seems I really underestimated this Holy Word technique.

I need to think about it carefully in the future and figure out how to fully utilize it.

"cough……"

Ye Chen slowly raised his head and forced an extremely ugly smile.

"Brother Lin... I'm sorry."

The voice was hoarse.

Lin Chu shook her head, her expression complex.

It's too late to save him.

The Holy Word technique could only temporarily restore his sanity, and that was only because Ye Chen's willpower had not been completely extinguished.

"you……"

Lin Chu opened her mouth.

Ye Chen shook his head bitterly.

"I know."

With trembling hands, he removed a dusty gray rope from his neck.

At the end of the rope was tied an antique jade pendant.

Ye Chen held the jade pendant in his palm and gently rubbed it with his thumb.

This young man, who was always unserious, always joking around, and even cursed while fleeing for his life, now had his head down, his gaze fixed on the jade pendant in his palm, and his shoulders trembling slightly.

"Little Stream".

"Brother... may have to break his promise."

Everyone fell silent. Qinglian, perhaps thinking of something, had already filled her eyes with tears.

Ye Chen supported himself on the ground and stood up, staggering slightly. Blood dripped from between his fingers onto the ice, creating a fine white mist.

He smiled at Lin Chu.

Brother Lin.

"I can tell that you are... someone I can entrust with my life."

As he spoke, he shakily took out two storage bags.

One large and one small, one black and one pink, placed in the palm of the hand.

"These things... the big ones are for you."

"There are some odds and ends inside, all accumulated over the years."

"It's better to give it to you than to leave it to rot on the roadside."

Lin Chu did not answer.

Ye Chen continued, "This one is for my younger sister."

"Inside are her everyday belongings, and... the dowry I left for her."

He looked down at it, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"Brother Lin, if... if one day you happen to pass by a place called Earth."

"If you can, please help me find her."

"Her name is Ye Xiaoxi."

"Her presence is etched within this jade pendant."

"If she's still here, please give her the small storage bag for me."

Ye Chen's voice grew softer as he spoke.

"If she's gone..."

"Then... let's keep them all."

Lin Chu looked at those dimming eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke solemnly.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye."

"If there is an opportunity."

"I will definitely find her for you."

Ye Chen's bluish lips slowly curved into a smile.

"I knew it."

"I won't misjudge."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two storage bags and the jade pendant floated up together and slowly flew into Lin Chu's palm.

"Brother Sikong... I've placed him under that tree."

He may still be in a coma.

"How to handle it is... up to you, Brother Lin."

Lin Chu nodded.

After explaining all this, Ye Chen felt completely relaxed.

In that moment of relaxation, the redness in his eyes returned.

The fingers curled uncontrollably, and the red lines under the skin writhed like a living thing.

He looked down at his hands and chuckled softly.

"It seems..."

"I'm not the main character."

The next second, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

"Trying to possess my body?"

"Do you really think I climbed my way up from an ordinary person to where I am today just because of luck?"

Then he nodded emphatically to Lin Chu and the others.

Then, he stomped down hard.

A large section of the glacier beneath their feet sank, transforming into a crimson meteor that streaked towards the distant horizon.

Lin Chu subconsciously raised her hand.

It stretched halfway, then stopped.

Watching that shooting star disappear into the vast expanse of snow and wind.

Everyone stood motionless in place.

A few breaths later.

A blinding light suddenly shone on the horizon, as if the entire sky had been torn apart for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a dull rumble rolled in.

Then, a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose from the horizon.

Lin Chu scanned it with his divine sense.

In the distance, countless cracks appeared, spreading outwards like a spider web.

However, it was soon repaired little by little under the laws of the Emperor's Road.

Lin Chu looked away and glanced down at the storage bag in her hand.

After a long silence, he finally spoke softly.

"Brother Ye, may you rest in peace."

After saying that, he prepared to put away the jade pendant and the storage bag.

Suddenly, the jade pendant trembled slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chu still infused a wisp of spiritual energy.

A crisp sound came from the jade pendant.

"Brother! I don't want to stay here anymore!"

Then came Ye Chen's voice.

"Okay, once I've saved enough money, we'll move out together."

"Can I get a kitten as a pet?"

"Can."

"I also want a big pink bookshelf to hold lots and lots of storybooks!"

"Anything is fine."

"Brother, why doesn't Mom want us?"

"Mom has just... gone to a very far place temporarily."

"Brother, please come back soon! I'll stay home obediently!"

"Brother, Sister Xiaoye secretly asked me what you like to eat today."

"What? You don't believe me! It's true! I'm not lying to you!"

"I overheard her telling someone that she was going to make you birthday noodles!"

"Brother, will it cost a lot of money to treat this illness? Or should we go?"

"I...I think I'm all better now."

"elder brother!"

"I'm not afraid, it doesn't hurt at all."

"I'll be good, I won't cry, and I won't cause any trouble for the nurses!"

"elder brother……"

The sound stopped abruptly there.

The wind rose again on the ice field.
