Life is rarely perfect, and although I've always known that fate will always deliver a cruel blow when you're at your most triumphant, I never imagined that my greatest failure in all these years would be due to my own wife's adorable silliness.

Yuan Yuan rubbed his temples vigorously, beckoned to Luo Luo, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't say anything, come here."

Luo Luo looked timidly at Yuan Yuan and walked towards him step by step. Yuan Yuan did not urge her and looked at Luo Luo calmly.

Even if you walk slowly, you will eventually reach your destination. Luo Luo finally walked up to Yuan Yuan.

Like a child who has done something wrong, Lolo lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

"Xiao Yuan, right, um."

Before Luo Luo could finish speaking, Yuan Yuan, who was originally only the size of three fingers, instantly transformed back to the size of a normal person. Then, he cupped Luo Luo's face in his hands, revealed a sinister smile, and began to frantically rub her face.

"Ugh! I can't stand it anymore. It's just one failed experiment, what's the big deal? We can just try again. Why are you making that pitiful, timid face? You should just keep smiling like that silly face."

As Yuan Yuan roughly rubbed her cheeks, Luo Luo opened her mouth with some difficulty, uttering somewhat indistinct sounds.

"But, but Xiaoyuan has been planning this experiment for a long time."

A cold glint flashed in Yuan Yuan's eyes, and he increased the pressure on his hand again.

"You dare to contradict me? Lolo, you've gotten quite bold. Looks like you need to be taught a lesson."

PS1, I said, even if my book is "a bit" serious and I can't criticize it, it would be nice if you guys could at least sign in. I'm really worried because there's been no response at all.

For PS2, I recommend a book: Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- Seven Nights. Here's a brief summary.

As is well known at Roswaal Estate, Nanaya has three hobbies: honey, milk, and bullying his sisters.

Only a few observant people would notice Nanaya's three daily routines: catching up on sleep, drinking tea, and washing her sisters' underwear.

Emilia: Uh, Ana, isn't this just perverted?!

Rem (shaking her head firmly): This is my brother's kindness.

Nanaya: As expected, Rem understands me best! This is exactly how a brother expresses love to his sister! As a reward, Rem is lifted high and then tossed to the ground!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Helplessness

After calming down the idiot and coaxing her back home using a simple, crude, but highly efficient method, Yuan Yuan pushed up his glasses with a hint of helplessness.

"Mr. World Consciousness, are you still awake? If you are, say something quickly. If you are really asleep, I will call that idiot from earlier to wake you up."

"I'm awake, I'm still awake, powerful being from another world, please do not summon that lady."

Almost as soon as Yuan Yuan finished speaking, the voice of the world consciousness rang out.

The world consciousness, which had been completely calm and confident that it would never be hurt, was now terrified by Lolo. It had never imagined it could be injured so easily; its intuition told it that if that girl had wanted to, she could have easily killed it.

Therefore, even though it suffered a considerable loss at Lolo's hands, the World Consciousness didn't dare utter a single harsh word, quietly hiding deep within the world, fearing that it would be dragged out and killed by that terrifying woman.

After Lolo left, the world consciousness finally breathed a sigh of relief and planned to focus on healing the damage Lolo had caused him.

As for Yuan Yuan, although the world consciousness could sense that Yuan Yuan's true form was no weaker than its own, and even had a faint sense of eerie danger, the world barrier prevented Yuan Yuan from descending to this world in his true form. With only his clone, and given that the Blood Tide had been burned by Luo Luo, he could not pose a threat to the world. Therefore, the world consciousness was quite at ease ignoring him.

However, when Yuan Yuan said he wanted to summon Luo Luo, the world's consciousness realized that the reason for the terrifying woman's descent was the body model provided by Yuan Yuan. Moreover, judging from Luo Luo's behavior after her arrival, she clearly had some kind of relationship with Yuan Yuan, even an extremely intimate one. Given the relationship between Yuan Yuan and Luo Luo, the world's consciousness had no doubt that Yuan Yuan could summon her.

Having figured this out, the World Consciousness dared not delay for a moment. The instant Yuan Yuan finished speaking, it spoke up to indicate that it was still awake, fearing that Yuan Yuan might become impatient and summon that terrifying being again. To this end, the World Consciousness even used some time acceleration techniques on its own voice.

This time, without Yuan Yuan's prompting, the world's consciousness automatically created an ordinary male body and entered it.

Seeing the World Consciousness's eagerness, Yuan Yuan's smile grew even more helpless. Through this behavior, which could only be described as "obsequious," Yuan Yuan once again realized Luo Luo's power. He knew he needed careful calculation to have any chance of taking down the World Consciousness, while Luo Luo could terrify it with a single move.

However, despite the helplessness, Yuan Yuan's level of confidence prevented him from experiencing negative emotions such as discouragement or disappointment.

After readjusting his expression to its icy tone, Yuan Yuan spoke again.

"Hello, Mr. World Consciousness. I forgot to introduce myself earlier, how rude of me. I am Yuan Yuan, please take care of me."

The world consciousness paused for a moment, then quickly introduced itself according to human etiquette.

"Ah, hello, I am the world consciousness of this world, my name is Four Seasons, nice to meet you."

"Four seasons? I never imagined that the world consciousness would have a name."

Nodding somewhat surprised, Yuan Yuan continued,

"So, Mr. Four Seasons, as you can see, my plan has been ruined by that lady because of my own mistake, so I have no choice but to change how I treat you."

Having calmly admitted his mistake, Yuan Yuan pointed to the sky and spoke in a cold voice.

"Before we continue our conversation, please take a look at things beyond our own world. I believe those things will make our conversation more enjoyable."

Although he didn't understand Yuan Yuan's meaning, out of fear of Luo Luo's reappearance, Siji still projected a portion of his consciousness beyond the world barrier. Instantly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and slid down his cheeks. Clearly, this well-crafted body truly reflected the world consciousness's fear.

However, his world consciousness had no time to pay attention to the condition of the body he was currently using; his attention was entirely focused on the world outside.

Beyond the barrier of the world, a giant serpent exuding a terrifying aura coiled silently. Through the aura emanating from it, the world consciousness easily determined that this was Yuan Yuan's true form.

However, this is not the reason why the world consciousness is afraid. Just as he judged before, although Yuan Yuan's main body is powerful, as long as he cannot enter the world, he cannot pose a threat to the world consciousness.

What truly terrified the World Consciousness were the enormous insects clinging to the giant snake. Simply by focusing its consciousness on a single insect, the World Consciousness understood its danger, for a chunk of its consciousness was instantly devoured from it.

Although the parts that were eaten away were negligible to the world consciousness, they still proved that these insects could actually harm it. Moreover, judging by their numbers, they had reached a point where they could pose a threat to the world consciousness.

"These insects you see are called Soul Absorbers. They are life weapons that I specially created for this plan. When not activated, they are no different from ordinary insects. Once activated, if given sufficient energy, they can reproduce rapidly, multiplying fivefold in thirty seconds."

Pushing up his glasses, Yuan Yuan spoke softly to the world consciousness, which was drenched in cold sweat. Although his voice was not loud, it sounded like thunder to the world consciousness at that moment.

"If the plan had gone smoothly, I should have completely gathered the blood tide by now, and then compressed it into the extremely dangerous 'Azure Blood,' which would have been a great threat to the world. At that time, it would have been to stop me..."

Although Yuan Yuan stopped, his world consciousness could still imagine what he hadn't finished saying.

“As the consciousness of the world, I will inevitably be severely injured due to the serious damage to the world, and the possibility of recovery is extremely small. For my own sake, I will definitely rush out of the world and into the void to stop you. At that time, if you can delay me for a while and prevent me from returning to the world, these insects will be able to completely devour me.”

Staring at Yuan Yuan in fear, the world consciousness seemed to be talking in a dream, recounting the future it had calculated.

If the World Consciousness had shown respect to Yuan Yuan earlier because of Luo Luo, now it felt only fear. It understood that even knowing Yuan Yuan's plan, it would be powerless to stop him if Yuan Yuan were to do it again.

Because there are simply too many ways to collect the bloodlines and souls of all living beings, if Yuan Yuan were to spend some time, he could recreate the scene he had planned. At that point, the fate of the world's consciousness would only have two possibilities.

One type is to cower in the depths of the world, watching helplessly as the world is destroyed, then helplessly falling into a slumber from which they are almost never to wake up, and ultimately dying in their slumber.

The other option is to break out of the world and then be completely killed.

P.S., I recommend a book: Dragon Raja: The Dawn Rises.

Chapter Seventy-Eight Exchange

Although most world consciousnesses would die in their slumber, that is before they awaken. Because they possess the ability to think, the instinct for life, and complex emotions no less than those of humans, awakened world consciousnesses naturally fear death and resist slumber.

"So that's how it is. You were planning to kill me?"

The world consciousness sighed, its expression turning somber.

"If that's the case, why bother preparing such a complicated plan? Wouldn't it have been much easier to just ask that lady to do it?"

A slight smile played on Yuan Yuan's lips as he adjusted his glasses and spoke softly.

“I think you’ve misunderstood. Killing you would only hasten the destruction of this world, and it would bring me no benefit whatsoever.”

The world consciousness was suddenly overjoyed, but then its expression turned blank.

"If that's the case, why did you go to such lengths to scheme against me? I've been asleep since birth, so it's impossible for us to have any interaction, let alone have any enmity."

"It's not just hatred that can motivate people to work hard; curiosity can also be a factor."

Facing the World Consciousness, which was practically asking "Are you bored out of your mind?", Yuan Yuan remained calm, seemingly not taking the World Consciousness's words to heart at all. However, he was already calculating in his mind how to properly discipline the World Consciousness once it fell into his hands.

"To be frank, my initial goal was to capture you directly, and then, through all sorts of inhumane research on you, like stripping you completely naked, I would analyze all your secrets, and then use what I had analyzed to promote the evolution of my own soul."

Although Yuan Yuan's expression remained calm, certain malicious words in his speech made the World Consciousness's face turn as ugly as a typhoon passing through.

Seeing the change in the World Consciousness's expression, a cold glint flashed on Yuan Yuan's glasses, obscuring the satisfied glint in his eyes.

"However, because of my idiot, I've seen a side of you that's different from what I expected, so I'm going to change my plans for you."

"Expectations? May I ask what my expectations are?"

Although he was afraid of Yuan Yuan, the World Consciousness interrupted him and bravely asked its own question.

"You actually dared to interrupt me? What gave you that courage?"

Pushing up his glasses slightly, Yuan Yuan gave the World Consciousness a strange look, seemingly surprised by its reaction. When he saw the World Consciousness's eyes, which held a certain longing, Yuan Yuan nodded in understanding.

"So that's how it is. After a long, endless slumber, once awakened and confirming there was no danger, the desire to communicate with other life forms became uncontrollable?"

"Uh, yes, my instincts told me I was safe. Although you still harbor some ill will towards me, it's not strong, so... I couldn't help myself."

Scratching its cheek, World Consciousness seemed somewhat embarrassed as it acknowledged Yuan Yuan's words.

"Your instincts are incredibly accurate and have a high level of resolution."

Yuan Yuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity, but he quickly suppressed it and chose to answer the question posed by the world consciousness.

"In my previous predictions, since the world consciousness does not have a physical form and has been dormant since its birth, it should not possess the various emotions based on the body and memories, and should be in a state of absolute rationality."

"Faced with a life devoid of emotion, possessing only reason, I cannot engage in any communication. Because I myself have entered that state, I know how dangerous life in that state is."

Yuan Yuan, whose face was already cold, became even more serious after saying this, causing the World Consciousness, which had just shown joy because its [desire to communicate] had been satisfied, to subconsciously become serious as well.

“If you are truly in a state of absolute rationality, then I will absolutely not cooperate with you, but will directly capture you and throw you into the laboratory.”

"However, judging from your series of reactions just now, you clearly have emotions. Although I don't understand the source of these emotions, it does make me feel more at ease and makes me want to change the plan and cooperate with you. After all, it will be much more convenient if the test subject is willing to cooperate in the experiment."

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan's expression softened. The reason he had been so cautious about this plan targeting the World Consciousness was because he believed that the World Consciousness was devoid of emotions. But now that he had confirmed that the World Consciousness, like ordinary intelligent life, possessed various emotions, Yuan Yuan relaxed.

At this moment, in Yuan Yuan's view, the world's consciousness was practically screaming "easy to deal with."

Pushing up his glasses slightly, Yuan Yuan pointed to the sky and continued speaking.

"You've seen my true form; it's in no way weaker than yours. And I've only taken a few hundred years to reach this level. Most importantly, I'm still progressing, running towards becoming even stronger. As the world consciousness, you're bound to the world, subject to its own power. You're as strong as you were at birth, with no possibility of further growth. You can only guard this world tightly, not daring to let it suffer even the slightest harm."

Staring intently into the eyes of the world's consciousness, Yuan Yuan's voice turned cold and hard.

"Are you satisfied with this kind of life? Of course you aren't. Becoming stronger is the instinct of life. Being unable to progress and only maintaining the status quo until death is unacceptable to any living being. Even if you are the world consciousness, this won't change. So,"

As he spoke, Yuan Yuan reached out his hand to the world's consciousness, revealing a smile that, though somewhat cold, was still beautiful.

"Why don't you abandon this indifferent world and come to me? You can help me with my experiments, and I'll help you become stronger and propel you forward."

The world consciousness opened and closed its mouth, but no sound came out. After a long while, it recovered and emitted a somewhat wavering, yet angry and fearful, voice.
