Chapter 175

So, the Cang-Sang Galaxy wasn't destroyed?

The broadcast was very clear: the Cang-Sang Galaxy provoked Lin Qi first, and Lin Qi destroyed it afterward.

It also said there was almost no formed matter left in the galaxy.

Obviously, that didn't include the Cang-Sang tree.

Then where did this thing in front of me pop out from?

Miss Miss Jingliu had heard rumors that there might be a second Cang-Sang tree.

But even if one really existed, it couldn't possibly be on a planetary scale like this.

The key is...

It grew from that small tree in Lin Qi's palm!

Is this really a feat a mortal can achieve?

"You just asked me if there were other means to purge the root of the Abundance. I can give you two answers now."

Lin Qi continued, "One is physical means. I truly cannot destroy an Aeon yet, but I can certainly handle Her creations."

"The other is to leave it to time."

"The Cang-Sang tree you see right now is something I cultivated over these past few days using a remnant root."

"Unfortunately, time was limited, and I had to isolate the influence of the Abundance, so this is all I could achieve."

As he spoke.

Lin Qi shook his head, his tone regretful.

But these words left Miss Miss Jingliu and Luo Sha speechless.

Is this something a human can say?

Being able to cultivate it to this extent is already beyond human capability, isn't it?

Calling him an Aeon might be a stretch.

But a "demigod"? Definitely!

At this moment.

Miss Miss Jingliu could no longer remain calm.

It was hard to imagine that, with her state of mind, there would ever be a time she couldn't stay composed.

Because she had caught the key point in Lin Qi's words.

Time?

Even by the most conservative estimate, counting from ten years ago when Lin Qi started targeting the Wingweavers until now, the speed at which he cultivated the Cang-Sang to the size of an asteroid was astonishing.

Not to mention that Lin Qi said this was the result of just these past few days?

What does "these days" mean?

It certainly wasn't over half a year; even a hundred days would be too long!

So...

Can Lin Qi control time?

After reaching this conclusion, Miss Miss Jingliu became even less able to remain calm.

She even harbored an unrealistic fantasy.

What if it could be applied to people?

"Doctor, I... may I follow you?"

Miss Miss Jingliu stepped forward and said with utmost seriousness.

Hearing Miss Miss Jingliu's words, Lin Qi was somewhat surprised.

"Are you no longer pursuing the eradication of the Abundance?"

Miss Miss Jingliu shook her head and said, "The two matters do not conflict. Although my Mara-Struck state is not perfectly controlled, it has given me ample time. I can set the Abundance matter aside for now."

"Oh?" Lin Qi glanced at her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "It seems you have something more important than eradicating the Abundance?"

"Yes!" Miss Miss Jingliu nodded, not hiding it.

She replied.

"If possible, I want to resurrect someone. I know it is difficult, but it is hard to say if this person is truly dead. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!" Miss Miss Jingliu answered.

"By the sound of it, this is no easy task. But do you think it's a bit too simple to just follow me and expect me to help you?" Lin Qi teased.

Miss Miss Jingliu was silent for a moment, then spoke with absolute seriousness.

"I swear by the Reignbow Arbiter, regardless of whether Dr. Lin Qi can fulfill my wish, as long as the Doctor tries with all his heart, I shall be the Doctor's blade for the rest of my life! May this body serve the Doctor and slay all enemies who dare to invade!"

Hearing this, Lin Qi was even more surprised.

Clearly.

The person Miss Miss Jingliu wants to resurrect is even more important to her than she is to herself.

For this, she did not hesitate to offer herself.

Of course.

She also kept a guard up; it was that Lin Qi must "try with all his heart."

But whether he is trying with all his heart, she actually cannot tell.

Lin Qi could easily just put on a show.

And then he would gain a "gold-medal fighter."

Lin Qi estimated her strength to be a cut above Firefly's before her enhancement.

As for whether to accept her request...

Lin Qi pondered briefly and nodded.

"I accept your request."

[Common Influence Points +2000]

[Plot Influence Points +1000]

The system's notification arrived as expected.

112. Nine-Tailed Fox? Miss Miss Tingyun's Choice! Modification Complete

The system's notification sounded at the right time.

Lin Qi was not surprised by this.

Because it was obvious that Miss Miss Jingliu was also a plot character.

So her defecting to him would also add points.

The amount was quite considerable.

Although it didn't reach the level of the Astral Express crew, considering there might be more to come.

Even if Miss Miss Jingliu didn't do things for him, it wouldn't be a loss for Lin Qi.

Additionally.

The secrets on Miss Miss Jingliu were also worth researching.

The Mara-Struck state, the Aeon's blessing, and the person she wanted to "resurrect."

All of them were.

And for Miss Miss Jingliu, the fundamental reason for serving Lin Qi was not because Luo Sha's plan might fail.

That was only one aspect.

The more important reason was that Lin Qi might be able to fulfill her wish.

Although the possibility remained low.

She was willing to try.

By comparison.

Making the Abundance pay the price had to take a backseat.

Afterward.

Lin Qi had the maintenance robots repair the ship Luo Sha had arrived on, only this time, he would be returning alone.

Miss Miss Jingliu, however, boarded the *Azure*.

"It's a few days' journey from here to Jarilo-VI. You can rest on the ship first. Once we arrive and I have some free time, I'll help you solve your problem. I think... you're not in a huge rush, are you?" Lin Qi smiled.

"No matter."

Miss Miss Jingliu returned to her calm demeanor, shook her head gently, and said, "My matter is not urgent. The Doctor should finish his own affairs first, then handle mine."
