To think you've found the answers so quickly! It is really—}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm in a hurry,\" Varian said with an impatient expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation with the system happened in his mind and hardly took any time. It wasn't the same case with this library spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{Y-Yes! Welcome to the highest floor of the library! You can access the juiciest gossip from here!}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pff!\" Varian almost tripped hearing those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gossip?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Varian threw further thoughts off his head and carried Sia into the sixth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, it was a relatively small room of fifty by fifty square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a small table with a pot, tea cups, and two chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room had a cozy feel to it that the other floors lacked. It's more 'alive' than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian quickly shifted his gaze to the two chairs. Without delay, he placed Sia on one of the chairs and he sat on the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa~\" A groan of relief escaped his mouth as a refreshing sensation spread throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind seemed to be swimming in warm water as it felt very comfortable. Finally, his divine paths…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Huh?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian noticed their circulation rate improved drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible healing energy entered his body and circled for injuries. Only after ensuring he had no injuries did it leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also another invisible energy tracing for any hostilities in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sia…\" Holding his breath, Varian observed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm~\" Her complexion improved noticeably. The face which was pale seconds ago now had a rosy complexion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vitality which was on the verge of disappearing was now slowly growing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Badum! Badum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heartbeat, which was almost non-existent a few seconds ago now reverberated in the silent room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa~\" Varian exhaled as he felt like a boulder was taken from his shoulders. His chest didn't feel heavy anymore and his heart calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her and bit his lips, \"S-Sia…\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Varian stood up and stood the closest to her he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his hand, he carefully scanned the hostile chi in her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the librarian's floor, the chi was heavily suppressed. It wouldn't be able to harm her as long as she sat on the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thread of aura shot from Varian and entered Sia. Like a snake, it slithered from her fingertips and reached the area of her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian scanned the area near her heart. His face crumpled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She...She's really…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chi was heavily concentrated near her heart. One mistake and it'd all be over. She was desperately trying to defend herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian took a deep breath and used his aura thread to catch a bit of the hostile chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled it out. He felt like he was playing tug of war. Except his opponent was a wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gritted his teeth and threw in more aura threads. With all his strength, he once again tried to pull out the strand of chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Varian's aura threads could be compared to cotton threads, then the chi was equivalent to a steel thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat rolled down his forehead as his chest heaved up and down, but Varian didn't stop trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent more and more aura threads until finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strand of chi started to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's feet planted themselves on the floor and he moved his hands back. He looked like a fisherman trying to drag a shark to the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strand of chi left her heart, reached her shoulder, and was about to go out when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's aura, which was busy fighting the hostile chi finally noticed another foreign aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a wild animal that fiercely protects its territory, it reached Varian's aura threads with great hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyebrows jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sia was awake now, she could direct her aura and even help him out. But now, not only was there no help but even resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her aura really attacked him, then he wouldn't be able to pull out the chi meaning it'd be back to square one again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Varian's heart grew nervous, something surprising happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's aura paused on his aura for a second as if it was scanning something. The next second, it actually started helping him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!\" Varian was surprised, but he acted quickly and pulled the chi strand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssssz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air turned hotter for a second before an orange light flashed. The room glowed for a moment and the chi mixed with the air's aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew~\" Varian wiped the sweat off his forehead and rubbed his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's one. Only nine hundred and nine-nine remaining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian started a torturous work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia felt like she was having a long dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dark all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar darkness that sheltered her when she was lonely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the darkness was bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An evil red invaded her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like blood flowing, the red flowed to every inch around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's face paled as she felt an unbearable pain the moment the red enveloped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...I don't want to die like this.\" Sia bit her lips as she fought against the undefeatable enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if heeding her call, the blackness that almost disappeared started to resist the red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried hard. She gave it her best. Even though when she felt like falling apart, she persisted with the sole belief that she shouldn't end like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...I braved myself to face him. Va...Varian had to go through so many things because he wanted to meet me. I need to at least talk to him one last time.\" Sia vowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her resistance against the unbeatable enemy continued but as time passed on, she realized the bitter truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'…I want to talk to him at least once.' She felt like crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the worst criminals had their last wish heard, but she…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As despair clouded her heart, a bright ray of light tore through the menacing red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"Sia felt all her fatigue vanish as she bathed in the white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The redness tried to move. It tried to devour her again. But she could see it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it continued encroaching on her bit by bit. Even with the pillar of white light, her death was just delayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sia wasn't willing to die. '…Just once! I want to wake up just once and say how much I missed him!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept fighting. If it was any other person, they'd have died over a dozen times already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sia never gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After living with him for so long, Varian rubbed off on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Never give up!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if rewarding her persistence, a change occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding white sun shot toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia closed her eyes instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next thing she knew, she was standing in a snow-white world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to the sight, Sia felt a comfortable warmness enveloping her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the whiteness started to disappear, as if melting away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woa\" Sia covered her mouth as she saw a world of spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without knowing why her lips curled up as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the spring was a white door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia took a step forward. Then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to bear it any longer, she ran towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So long…it was so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whole year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate flashed and Sia felt her foggy vision clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What appeared in her vision was the face she always dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without realizing it, Sia's voice shivered.\"V-Varian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1268,"2026-06-06T07:58:26.749Z",1,"novelbin.me","819e6f40b1c02b132cca62b752796b81f47869646ee460ae3ccfbb73c065ac50","divine-path-system-chapter-657","divine-path-system-chapter-655",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
