Chapter 241

"My advice is that you cannot afford to provoke an Aeon, as they are not mere mortals. Your idea is good—using an Aeon to deal with an Aeon," Lin Qi warned. "But how could a mortal ever hope to fathom an Aeon? Even if you succeed in the end, the result will certainly not be perfect. Perhaps the Abundance will fall, the Swarm King will not be resurrected, and the Finality will not arrive, but what if you die in the process?"

"Thank you for your warning, Doctor!"

Luo Sha hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

He did not pay much mind to Lin Qi's final remark.

After all, stepping onto the path of the Abundance was a move born of helplessness.

If he had a choice, he certainly would not have chosen this path.

But in order to sever the Abundance—

He could sacrifice everything, including himself.

As for the potential War of the Aeons...

Just as Lin Qi said, it was merely a guess; Luo Sha did not believe he could achieve such a thing.

Seeing that Luo Sha seemed to have made up his mind,

Lin Qi knew he was still preparing to head to the Xianzhou.

At the same time,

the system's notification sound did not ring out.

Clearly, Lin Qi's appearance this time had not changed much.

It was not as impactful as saving Tingyun.

Just as Lin Qi was lost in thought,

the system suddenly chimed in.

【Ordinary Influence Points +1000】

【Plot Influence Points +500】

Hm?

It still added points?

Where did the change occur?

Lin Qi was somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that Luo Sha changed his mind?

"Dr. Lin Qi, I have a question I would like to ask you. Would it be convenient for you to answer?"

It was Jingliu who spoke.

She had remained silent ever since her identity was exposed by Lin Qi.

Only her shifting expressions revealed that her inner heart was not particularly calm.

Lin Qi's heart stirred, and he made a big guess.

It must be that her thoughts had shifted.

That was why the points increased.

"Go ahead and ask; I will try my best to satisfy your answer."

Jingliu parted her crimson lips slightly and said, "I want to know if there are other ways to clear the plague of the Abundance? It doesn't necessarily have to be the Abundance Aeon itself; its creations, or the influence it caused, would also suffice."

"For example, the Mara-Struck?" Lin Qi countered.

Jingliu nodded, saying nothing more, only looking at Lin Qi with a pair of beautiful eyes.

She seemed to be seeking an answer from him.

Lin Qi was not stingy with his answer, saying:

"There are."

"The Aeon is hard to deal with, but Its creations are still manageable."

"You should know of the Arbor."

Jingliu nodded again, though she was somewhat confused as to why Lin Qi brought this up.

But the next second, her expression changed once more.

The change was extremely dramatic.

Or rather...

she was dumbfounded.

Lin Qi's palm suddenly manifested a small tree; its form was incredibly peculiar, as if rooted in the void, with branches extending into various regions, appearing as if it could jump through space at any moment.

Jingliu was not at all unfamiliar with this small tree.

In her rich combat experience, she had fought the Wingweavers a considerable number of times.

Thus, she was very familiar with the characteristics of the Arbor.

Clearly,

this small tree in Lin Qi's palm was the Arbor itself!

But this was her first time seeing the full appearance of the tree.

Previously, she had only ever seen its branches.

However, this alone would not have been enough to shock Jingliu, as it could have been a model.

But when that small tree began to gradually enlarge, becoming larger than a warship, and even comparable to an asteroid, she could no longer remain calm.

What kind of method was this?

To be able to take a miracle of the Abundance and make it one's own?

Could a genius truly be this terrifying?

At this moment,

the shock in Jingliu's heart was beyond measure.

She was certain that this Arbor was real.

It truly had the ability to jump through space!

"Doctor, can you command the Wingweavers?" Jingliu asked, suppressing the shock in her heart.

"Command?"

Lin Qi found it somewhat amusing.

However, before he could speak, Luo Sha, who had also recovered from his shock, explained:

"Miss Jingliu, you may not be aware, but Dr. Lin Qi's fame-making battle was the leveling of the star system where the Arbor resided, so no matter who the Doctor commands, it is impossible for him to command the Wingweavers."

As he spoke,

Luo Sha even took out his phone to show Jingliu the report from ten years ago.

【Interastral Peace Broadcast: According to the latest news from this station, the homeland of the Wingweavers, the star system where the Arbor was located, has vanished under Dr. Lin Qi's Falling Star Spear.】

【Explorers at the front report that there are no longer any signs of life in that star system, nor are there any formed celestial bodies; there is only countless annihilated matter and immeasurable cosmic dust. Perhaps they will gradually aggregate under the influence of gravity to form stars again, but without external interference, this process might take billions of years. In other words, Dr. Lin Qi's single strike sent the Arbor star system back to the beginning of the universe!】

【The Interastral Peace Corporation, the Xianzhou Alliance, the Family... and other factions have jointly declared that Dr. Lin Qi's actions were a legitimate act of defense, as the Wingweavers were the ones who offended first. Moreover, the Wingweavers were already a scourge to the universe; the Doctor's actions were truly an act of justice! Let us express our strong condemnation of the Wingweavers!】

News story after news story from the past flashed before Jingliu's eyes.

It left her astonished.

Her eyes widened significantly as the news flashed by.

Although she had already formed many expectations regarding Lin Qi's reputation as a genius,

Lin Qi's destructive capability still exceeded her imagination.

This was not some clever trick to destroy a star system.

It was truly achieved with just a single weapon!

*Hoo~*

She exhaled softly.

Jingliu had to admit that even though she had lived for over a thousand years, this was the first time she had seen someone so "ruthless."

Although Aeons were even more powerful, the behavioral logic of an Aeon could be inferred according to their Path.

For mortals, they would almost never encounter a situation where an Aeon would personally descend to deal with them.

But Lin Qi was different.

He was a mortal who had mastered the destructive capability of an Aeon!

Additionally,

there was another question that troubled Jingliu.
