Chapter 242

~6 min read 1,050 words

That means the Qiong Sang star system wasn't destroyed?

The broadcast was very clear: the Qiong Sang star system provoked Lin Qi first, and Lin Qi destroyed it afterward.

It also said that within the star system, there was almost no formed matter.

Obviously, that didn't include Qiong Sang either.

Then where did this thing in front of us come from?

Jingliu had heard rumors that a second Qiong Sang tree might still exist.

But even if it truly existed, it couldn't possibly have a planet of such a scale.

The key point...

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

Is this really something a mortal could achieve?

"You just asked me if there are other means to eliminate the root cause of Abundance. Now I can give you two answers."

Lin Qi continued, "One is physical means. I indeed cannot destroy the Aeon yet, but I can destroy His creations."

"The other is to leave it to time."

"This Qiong Sang tree you see now was cultivated by me over these past days from a remnant root of a Qiong Sang."

"Unfortunately, time is limited, and I must also isolate it from the influence of Abundance, so I can only achieve this much."

Saying this,

Lin Qi even shook his head, his tone full of regret.

But these words left Jingliu and Luo Sha silent.

Is this what a human can do?

To cultivate something to this extent is already beyond human capability, okay?

Saying it's like an Aeon might be a bit of a stretch.

"Demigod" is absolutely fitting!

At this moment.

Jingliu could no longer remain calm.

It was hard to imagine that with her state of mind, there would even be times she couldn't stay calm.

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

Time?

Even taking the most conservative estimate, counting from ten years ago when Lin Qi first acted against the Winged People until now, cultivating Qiong Sang to the size of a small asteroid, that speed is still incredibly astonishing.

Moreover, Lin Qi said this was the result of just these past few days?

What does "these past few days" mean?

It certainly isn't more than half a year; even a hundred days would be too many!

So...

Can Lin Qi control time?

After reaching this conclusion, Jingliu became even more unable to calm down.

She even entertained an unrealistic fantasy.

What if it could be applied to people?

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

Jingliu stepped forward and said with utmost seriousness.

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

"You no longer pursue severing the Abundance?"

Jingliu shook her head and said, "The two matters are not in conflict. Although my Demon Yin Body is not perfectly controlled, it has given me ample time. I can put the matter of Abundance on hold for now."

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

"Yes!" Jingliu nodded, hiding nothing.

She replied.

"If possible, I wish to resurrect someone. I know this is difficult, but it is hard to say that person is truly dead. But as long as there is a sliver of a chance, I will not give up!" Jingliu replied.

"From the sound of it, this is no easy task. But you merely wish to follow me, and expect me to help you? Isn't that a bit too simple?" Lin Qi said mockingly.

Jingliu fell silent for a moment, then her tone became infinitely serious.

"I swear by the Lord of the Divine Bow: regardless of whether Doctor Lin Qi can fulfill my lifelong wish, as long as the Doctor makes a sincere attempt, for the rest of my life, I shall be the Doctor's sword! May this body be able to cut down all enemies who dare to attack the Doctor!"

Hearing these words, Lin Qi was even more surprised.

Obviously.

The person Jingliu wanted to resurrect was, to her, even more important than herself.

For this, she was willing to offer herself.

Of course.

She also kept a little caution: it was that the Doctor must make a "sincere" attempt.

But whether he was sincere, she actually couldn't tell.

Lin Qi could simply pretend.

And then he would obtain a "gold-medal enforcer."

Lin Qi estimated her strength to be a notch higher than Firefly before her enhancement.

As for whether to accept her request...

Lin Qi considered it briefly, then nodded.

"I agree to your request."

【Ordinary Influence Points +2000】

【Plot Influence Points +1000】

The system's notification arrived as promised.

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

The system's notification sounded at the right moment.

Lin Qi was not surprised by this.

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

So when she threw her lot in with him, it would add points.

The amount was quite considerable.

Although it didn't reach the level of the Trailblaze Crew, considering there might be more later.

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

Besides.

The secrets on Jingliu were also worth studying.

The Mara, the blessing of the Aeon, and the person she wanted to "resurrect."

All of them were the same.

And for 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 fulfill her lifelong wish.

Although the possibility was still not high.

But she was willing to try.

In comparison.

Making the Abundance pay the price had to come later.

After that.

Lin Qi had the maintenance robot repair the spaceship Luo Sha had ridden, but this time on the return trip, it would be just him alone.

Jingliu boarded the Azure Star.

"It will take a few days from here to Jarilo-VII. You can rest on the spaceship first. Once I have time, I will Help you solve the problem. I think... you are not in a hurry, right?" Lin Qi smiled.

"It is fine."

Jingliu returned to her calm nature, shaking her head lightly, "There is no need to rush my matter. Doctor, just handle your own affairs first, and deal with it later."
