Chapter 293: Planting, Transplantation, and the Dawn of Hope

Lín Jìn and Ling Yue faced the Observers who had broken into the Experimental Chamber, the atmosphere tense to the extreme. The Observers, like hungry wolves, showed murderous intent toward Lín Jìn and Ling Yue in their eyes, and the weapons in their hands flashed with cold light.

Lín Jìn gripped the Abyss Return Ruler tightly; the Abyss Return Ruler trembled slightly, as if excited for the upcoming battle. Ling Yue, meanwhile, cradled the Quantum Fetus, and the physical sword formed from coagulated breast milk was ready to strike at any moment.

"Your plot will not succeed!" Lín Jìn glared at the leading Observer and shouted loudly.

The Observer leader sneered, "Just you? In this Observer's territory, you cannot escape with wings." With that, he waved his hand, and the Observers behind him surged forward like a tide toward Lín Jìn and Ling Yue.

Lín Jìn's figure flashed as he took the initiative to attack. The Abyss Return Ruler in his hand turned into a streak of black light, Sword Qi crisscrossed, instantly repelling the few Observers who had rushed to the front. Ling Yue meanwhile dodged attacks while seeking an opening, preparing to deliver a lethal blow to the enemy.

The battle grew ever more intense, the Observers' attacks came like a raging storm. Though Lín Jìn and Ling Yue fought bravely, the Observers were numerous and seemed to understand their fighting style, and for a moment they became locked in a stalemate.

During the fierce fight, Lín Jìn suddenly realized that continuing this way was no solution; they had to quickly find the key to undo the Observers' plot, or everyone would fall into a dead end. His gaze fell on Lin Li's Crystallization body; when they previously breached the logical Firewall, this Crystallization had left a deep impression on him.

A thought stirred in Lín Jìn's mind, a bold idea emerged. He recalled that Ao Li had previously infused the power of a Nüwa Stone fragment into Lin Li's body, and that Lin Li and he shared countless ties; perhaps he could transplant his Seed Core into Lin Li's Crystallization body, using their blood relation to break the final Agreement Lock set by the Observers.

"Ling Yue, I have a plan, but I need your cover," Lín Jìn shouted loudly to Ling Yue during a lull in the battle.

"You say it, I will fully support you!" Ling Yue replied while deflecting the Observers' attacks.

Lín Jìn took a deep breath and said, "I will transplant the Seed Core into Lin Li's Crystallization body; perhaps it can break the Agreement Lock. You help me block these Observers."

Ling Yue nodded slightly, her eyes showing resolve. She controlled the Mechanical Uterus, firing a rapid series of powerful energy bolts toward the Observers. The energy bolts exploded amid the crowd of Observers, instantly filling the air with smoke and buying Lín Jìn a brief window of time.

Lín Jìn hurried to Lin Li's Crystallization body; although the Crystallization no longer possessed the offensive capability it had as a Firewall, it still exuded a cold aura. Lín Jìn paid no heed to anything else, focused his mind, and began to slowly draw his Seed Core out of his body.

The Seed Core emitted a gentle glow, carrying Lín Jìn's life force. The moment the Seed Core left Lín Jìn's body, he felt a wave of weakness, but he clenched his teeth, endured the discomfort, and carefully implanted the Seed Core into Lin Li's Crystallization body.

The instant the Seed Core touched the Crystallization, a strange light burst forth. The Crystallization began to tremble slightly, and the runes on its surface flickered more intensely. Lín Jìn watched the Crystallization anxiously, silently praying that his plan would succeed.

At that moment, something unbelievable occurred. Blood streamed from the Crystallization's eye sockets; the bright red liquid ran down its crystalline cheek, leaving streaks of blood on its glittering surface. The appearance of this blood seemed to signal the revival of Lin Li's consciousness.

"Could it be... Lin Li is returning?" a surge of excitement rose in Lín Jìn's heart.

This sudden change also distracted the Observers engaged in battle. Ling Yue seized the opportunity to launch an even fiercer attack; the physical sword formed from coagulated breast milk danced densely in her hand, repelling the approaching Observers one after another.

As the blood flowed, the glow of the Agreement Lock on the Crystallization dimmed gradually. Lín Jìn could feel the Agreement Lock being broken. Finally, after a flash of light, the Agreement Lock shattered completely.

At the same time, Lin Li's Crystallization body began to change. Its crystalline shell gradually became transparent, and the outline of Lin Li's body faintly emerged inside. Lín Jìn and Ling Yue watched this with delight, realizing that Lin Li might truly be returning.

And just as Lin Li's Crystallization was changing, the energy inside the Experimental Chamber began to surge wildly. The Observers realized the situation was dire and tried to halt Lin Li's revival. They rushed toward Lin Li's Crystallization recklessly, intending to destroy everything.

"We must not let them succeed!" Lín Jìn shouted, rallying his spirit, and together with Ling Yue blocked the Observers' attacks. The Abyss Return Ruler and the breast milk sword flashed again, engaging the Observers in a life‑or‑death battle.

Lín Jìn and Ling Yue knew that Lin Li's revival might be the key to breaking the Observers' plot, and they had to protect Lin Li at all costs. In the fierce battle, their bodies suffered multiple injuries, yet they still held their ground before Lin Li's Crystallization, showing no sign of retreat.

As Lin Li's Crystallization changed more dramatically, a powerful force radiated from it. This force, like an invisible storm, blew the surrounding Observers away. Lín Jìn and Ling Yue were also hit by the force, but they clung tightly to each other, striving to keep their footing.

Finally, the Crystallization completely dissipated, and Lin Li appeared before them. Lin Li's eyes were initially clouded with confusion, but soon cleared. She looked at Lín Jìn and Ling Yue, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Lín Jìn, Ling Yue, I'm back..." Lin Li said softly.

Lín Jìn and Ling Yue gazed at the recovered Lin Li, their hearts full of joy. Yet they knew the battle was not over; the Observers would not give up easily.

"Lin Li, as long as you're okay. But we still have to keep fighting to break the Observers' plot," Lín Jìn said, his gaze fixed firmly on the Observers gathering again around them.

Lin Li nodded, feeling the tense atmosphere around her. At this moment, she sensed a brand‑new power filling her body, a power seemingly linked to Lín Jìn's Seed Core and her previous Crystallization experience.

"Alright, we fight together!" Lin Li said, her eyes filled with determination and confidence.

The three stood together again, facing the multitude of Observers without fear. A yet more intense battle was about to erupt, and whether they could, by virtue of Lin Li's return and the newly gained power, break through the Observers' encirclement and continue their quest to thwart the Observers' plot remains uncertain…
