Li Xiang and Ji Yanqing looked at each other and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
"The Source of Faith is born in a player's mind. It is formed from his experiences, emotions, and life. It will call out to the mature Level-3 Magician after the player's assessment. The main thing is to successfully communicate with the Guardian and confirm their faith. As they continue, the Guardian's power will become stronger and stronger," Ji Yanqing explained.
"Our faith is the source of our power when we fight. The stronger we are, the stronger we are. Because of the uniqueness of the Source of Faith, not only the Guardian has it. In fact, everyone has their own faith, but Xin Yi was just born … "
"The assassination tattoo on her body came from Ming Xu. It is the mark of the Mother Goddess." Li Xiang carried his daughter. The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss in his arms. She sucked on her little finger and looked at him curiously.
Even though Li Xiang tried his best to hide his aura, he still couldn't completely hide his high-level aura. However, Xin Yi didn't feel uncomfortable at all. It seemed that the Source of Faith was stronger than he thought.
Her little body contained a huge amount of energy. This was more fortunate than many people. Of course, it could also be unfortunate.
After confirming that Xin Yi was different and extraordinary, Li Xiang was even more determined to take her away.
He couldn't let her stay in the Seven Continents. It would be bad for Xin Yi and the others.
Also, only Li Xiang could teach her how to use the Source of Faith. Otherwise, it would be easy for something to happen during the process of cultivation.
After holding his daughter for a while, Li Xiang arranged for Chen Fan and his family to rest in the manor. Ji Yanqing was almost seriously injured because of Ming Xu, but it was a blessing in disguise that she saved her son. Now that she wasn't feeling well, Chen Fan didn't refuse. He pulled the unwilling Chen Xuanxuan towards the manor.
After they left, Li Xiang closed the door of the cabin in the forest and carried his daughter to the bedside. He quietly looked at Ming Xu. The girl who used to be his partner and was now his wife was sleeping soundly. She had never slept so comfortably in her life. She didn't have to worry about enemies, the environment, or any other variables. She just fell asleep like this.
Ming Xu's aura was still growing stronger, but the last of her and the Mother Goddess' aura had dissipated into the air, heading towards the Gate of Eternity.
Although he couldn't see her soul, Li Xiang knew that once she woke up, she would be a different person.
He didn't know if she had seen Xin Yi, and if she had thought of him at that time.
Li Xiang's heart was incomparably bitter. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her cheek, wiping away the sweat on her head. Then, he slowly placed Xin Yi at her side.
As if she had sensed her mother's aura, Xin Yi suddenly grabbed her mother's arm and rubbed her little head against her. With great difficulty, she hugged Ming Xu and fell asleep together with him.
Wife, daughter, home … Everything that was unattainable in his previous life had been perfectly realized in this life. Compared to the so-called so-called saving the human camp and reviving the seven continents, he cared more about this and was more satisfied.
This was what a person should experience, what a person should experience.
As the night deepened, Li Xiang also quietly fell asleep at the head of the bed.
.....
In the early morning sunset, light shone in through the window and slanted on the desk, reflecting mottled traces of light.
Li Xiang was startled by Xin Yi's crying. He jerked his head up and saw Ming Xu's pale face through the sunlight.
She leaned against the bed and sat quietly, holding the crying Xin Yi in her arms. She softly comforted her and hummed an unknown song, but it couldn't make her stop crying.
"Aiya, aiya, this little girl is so similar to you. She's just a little girl, but she's so angry." "Ming Xu," or Bai Lili, hugged her and smiled gently. Her face was full of charm and indescribable sexiness.
Her voice had changed. Although her appearance and body shape hadn't changed, in Li Xiang's eyes, she was exactly the same as Bai Lili.
At this moment, he finally knew that his Ming Xu had left.
As if she had sensed her father's sadness, Xin Yi, who was crying in Bai Lili's arms, suddenly stopped. Her little body turned slightly, and she actually reached out her little finger to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was stunned. He reached out his hand and gently held the little finger. A warm feeling spread through his body.
"You're indeed father's sweet little girl. You know how to dote on your father at such a young age." Bai Lili gently exhaled a breath of white air. The last traces of Ming Xu and the Mother Goddess disappeared from her body. Instead, it was replaced by the terrifying power of Level-9 and above.
The descent was a success … or rather, it had never failed from the beginning.
"Let this little girl follow me." Bai Lili hugged Xin Yi, and a rare gentle look appeared on her face. "Her talent is far superior to others. In the future, she will definitely be qualified to pursue the qualifications to become an eternal existence like us. Only I can guide her on the right path."
"Is it important to become an eternal existence?" Li Xiang suddenly looked up at her. That familiar yet strange face. Looking at "Ming Xu," his heart began to ache. "At the end of the Eternal River, what's behind the Eternal Gate? Is it really that important?"
"Of course. If you haven't been there, you won't understand. The so-called Seven Continents, the so-called world, are just cages in the eyes of those existences. We're all caged birds. Even the Disaster Camp outside the Seven Continents can't stop us. Humans are destroyed and reborn in one era after another, repeating this life, "Bai Lili looked at him and said casually." It's boring, it's endless, and there's no end. Only by leaving this place and going to the other side can we transcend. Only then can we find the true path of survival. The new world is the best place for us to return to. "
"Transcend … What happens after transcending? Even if you complete your new world, so what? What happens after that … "Li Xiang said word by word. He looked at her with a calm expression. He had no interest in those things.
"After transcending …" Bai Lili had never seriously considered this question. Everything she did was for the sake of becoming stronger and working hard for her so-called ideals. Completing a new world was already something that was close to impossible. After that …
"For the ordinary people living in the Seven Continents, whether or not this place is a cage, whether or not the Disaster Camp and the Human Camp are fighting is meaningful, and what changes will happen to the world are not important. No one cares. They just wanted to have a stable and peaceful life. They wanted to live happily with their family. They wanted to live a peaceful life like this for the rest of their lives, and that would be enough. If they can have such a life, so what if they're trapped in a cage? So what if they're used as pawns by the eternal existences? Is it really that blissful to become a supreme god and face ant-like creatures all day long? "
"In a world where no one exists, there's only you. You're facing countless ants. What's the point of such a life?!"
Li Xiang looked at her. He suddenly hugged Xin Yi and stood up. "Mom, I've never called you that. In your long life, I don't know what you think of the things I'm talking about. However, in my … life, these are all very important. They're much more important than what you're talking about. There's nothing about you in my memories. You keep saying that you love me and want to create a new world for me. However, from the beginning to the end, apart from leading me down this path and using me as a pawn to complete your new world and achieve your goals, you've never given me anything.
"Xin Yi doesn't need great power or a supreme status. What she needs is a father who can accompany her as she grows up … and mom. I don't need a new world, transcendence, or eternal existences. I just need Ming Xu, her, and our home.
"I'll take her to the sea of stars, to the Gate of Eternity, to find Ming Xu. It doesn't matter if you understand or not. From today onwards, from this moment onwards, I won't care about any of these messy things."
Li Xiang had never felt so determined before. He suddenly felt that he had transmigrated from his previous life to this place and become the current him just for this moment. He wanted to bring Ming Xu back from the Gate of Eternity and change a predetermined ending.
F * ck the eternal existences!
Seeing him leave step by step, Bai Lili, who was sitting on the bed, was shocked. Then, she felt relieved and laughed heartily. In the end, she hugged her body. She hugged this body that did not belong to her but had to host her soul and create a new world with her. She was alone.
Tears slowly flowed down her face.
.....
On the second day after Li Xiang left, the news of Bai Lili's resurrection spread throughout the Seven Continents.
At first, many people thought that it was a rumor. It was the tarot card survivors who were unwilling to give up spreading fear. However, when those who had the power of the Evil Seeds in their bodies chose to awaken and betrayed their original forces to submit to Bai Lili, they finally felt fear.
Bai Lili descended on the Seven Continents in the form of Ming Xu. The first thing she did after awakening was to activate all the Evil Seeds. Those who were willing to accept her gift and wanted to improve themselves betrayed their original forces as quickly as possible.
Of course, there were also some who chose to give up. Those who could face such temptation and give up could be counted on one hand. However, they were not punished by Bai Lili.
This was a two-way choice to begin with.
Most of the important departments of the New Polar Night were people with Evil Seeds. They were originally struggling in the Seven Continents as they were restricted by the White King's iron-blooded orders. Later on, there was Bai Dongxue's cleaning team, which was their natural enemy. Only the New Polar Night was willing to take them in.
Later on, this force became an indispensable part of the rise of the New Polar Night. On this day, more than 90% of the people chose to leave. They even abandoned their wives and children and went to Bai Lili's place to pledge their loyalty to her.
This was scarier than the spread of religion. The temptation of power to people was endless.
Especially for those Level 3 Magicians who could never reach the threshold of being a player. This was a chance to change and it was too difficult to give up.
It was something that you could not help but want to drink even though you knew it was poisoned. That was Hunting Sky's original words. She was also one of the few people who restrained herself and gave up on summoning and temptation. No one knew what made her give up.
However, after choosing to give up, the Evil Seed would leave her body and the benefits that it had brought her would no longer exist. Her abilities would be severely damaged and it would take many years for her to recover.
Every organization was terrified. Those who betrayed the organization used to be indispensable in their positions and knew many secrets. They were the core members that they did not want to be taken away.
The return of the Five Kings and the Level 9 players was thought to be the end of the matter. Unexpectedly, it was the beginning of a chaotic situation.
The Level 9 players returned and Bai Lili came back to life. Not long after, another piece of news was released. One of the three superpowers, the Katashafi Committee, announced that it was disbanding.
Thirty Level 9 players joined or formed their own organizations.
Meanwhile, the original Disaster Great Wall area and the border area were occupied by Lancelot's Poker Club. It became the nest of the anthropomorphic Disaster organization that was eyeing the Seven Continents covetously.
There were also rumors that countless rulers who had been sleeping for a long time were gradually awakening and were ready to make a move.
Wessex officially announced the formation of a superpower with the New Polar Night Alliance. Meanwhile, the military was separated from the control of Wessex and the Katashafi Committee. Under the command of General Othello, they became the only force that protected the humans.
The Five Kings became independent and the Aristocratic Alliance was also tied together. Some Level 9 players were parachuted in, while some simply merged and joined. They formed a superpower that only cared about its own interests and would no longer be under the Five Kings.
After Li Xiang left, the Seven Continents fell into an unprecedented chaos.
It was not until a few days later that many players found out the reason for this epic war.
Lancelot, the former Fool, and Bai Lili, the evil leader, were the only two people above Level 9 in the human camp. At the same time, they announced four methods to become above Level 9.
Among these methods, creating new descendants and consuming the Eternal Water were the two most difficult and unrealistic methods.
The former was only to pave the way for future descendants. No one was willing to do such a stupid thing, except for Bai Lili who had been above Level 9 for a long time. The latter was too difficult. There were only a few people who had crossed the Eternal Gate. In the end, Lancelot was the only one who had reached Level 9 after consuming the Eternal Water.
The others had all failed.
Compared to these two methods, the other two methods were obviously more reliable.
First, reach Level 9, become a Level 9 player, and then devour a powerful bloodline. Then, the target of Level 9 players would be the high-level humanoid Disasters, Dominators, and high-level life forms of the foreign world.
Or, it would be more extreme, like Fei Yujing, who became a Shared Eater in the early stage and continuously devoured others to slowly advance. This was more difficult, but it was more universal.
Once these two methods were announced, the Seven Continents were in complete chaos.
Everyone looked at each other as if they were food.
The epic war was about to start. The dispute between the Kings swept across the land.
The only person who was not related to the normal turmoil was wearing a black cloak. Soon, he arrived at the border, carrying a little guy who was waiting to be fed in his arms.
Li Xiang remembered that the first time he came to the border was with Senior Violet. At that time, Andrea was invincible in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he was already a Level 6 player. If he went all out, he could even match a Level 8 player!
He came to a dilapidated town. Xin Yi, who was in his arms, opened her beautiful big eyes, trying to observe the surroundings.
In the distance, the place where the Disaster Great Wall used to be was now a ruin. Further away was a dazzling sea of stars.
The crimson sea was full of blood and corpses.
Under these corpses, no one knew whether it was a human or a Disaster, a life or an end.
The melodious and beautiful song mixed with the trembling sound of the war drums entered Li Xiang's ears. Killing and blood splattered everywhere, but his gaze was gentle and firm, just like that, deeply looking into the distance.
It was as if he was looking at the person he loved.
