Everything that followed was a natural progression.
Lin Muci, holding the cipher book, with Ling Qianhe’s assistance, contacted the high-level figures of the Chinese powers. They used the cipher book to negotiate with the United States, and the two sides reached an agreement to persevere for another fifty years.
And with fifty years, it was enough for humanity to find new directions.
Moreover, within the vast databases, she was gradually uncovering the possibility of the creator system's original code!
Having accomplished all this, Lin Muci turned to look at Ling Qianhe and asked him,
"Are we going back?"
"Actually, I'm a bit worried about Chaolu… I'm afraid she'll be bullied if she stays here. And although she has her family for company, I can still sense her deep loneliness…"
Hearing Lin Muci's words, Ling Qianhe immediately understood the implication behind them.
"You want to take her to our main world?"
"But her psychic ability is too terrifying. If it can't be controlled well, it will cause panic in that world."
"After all, she can enter other people's dreams. And in our entertainment world, apart from you and me, there are almost no other psychics. This also means that others cannot resist her abilities."
Lin Muci thought for a moment and said,
"I want to take her to the mecha beast-girl world."
"Let her go to school."
"In the mecha beast-girl world, they should be able to accommodate a psychic specialist like her. And since she is a psychic specialist, she should be able to pilot mechs, and her acceptance there will be higher. She won't be treated as an anomaly."
"Besides, she can materialize things from dreams. If so—"
Lin Muci paused and said seriously,
"If her abilities can truly develop to a certain level in the future, not just materializing inanimate objects, then perhaps she can also resurrect her family!"
Ling Qianhe silently watched Lin Muci. Lin Muci knew what Ling Qianhe wanted to say and preempted him.
"I know the probability is extremely small, even negligible… After all, her family might have been utterly annihilated, and even if new bodies are created, it's difficult to infuse souls again. But I think – perhaps her family's souls haven't completely vanished, but have always remained within her body."
"As long as she managed to retain a wisp of her family's soul back then."
"Even if she goes to the mecha beast-girl world, and in the future, uses the human alliance's super advanced technology to revive her family, it becomes a possibility."
"Having hope is always better than having no hope at all, and living a life of loneliness and isolation in darkness."
Ling Qianhe nodded, acknowledging Lin Muci's words.
The mecha world was indeed for this little loli.
It was a glimmer of hope.
When Lin Muci and Ling Qianhe found the little girl, Chaolu, they explained their intentions and their desire to take her away.
Upon hearing Lin Muci and Ling Qianhe say this, Chaolu tilted her head. The little girl didn't show much surprise. Instead, she pondered and asked them,
"Is your world better than this one?"
Lin Muci and Ling Qianhe exchanged a glance.
"Not necessarily better than this one, but it's a more expansive world. This world is in ruins and needs rebuilding. It might take decades for everything to return to normal."
"Do you have anyone or anything you still yearn for here?"
The little girl shook her head and replied almost without hesitation,
"No."
"I'll go with you."
Lin Muci had asked Ling Qianhe if it were impossible to bring someone out of another world in general, but this little girl was different. Because her awakened psychic ability was too powerful, it had already exceeded the world's capacity.
Therefore, she could directly transfer her consciousness—
To a comatose person in a parallel dimension.
As long as there was a suitable body, she could be reborn in that world.
And regarding this matter, the little girl Chaolu also showed great interest.
After all—
She was also curious if Ling Qianhe and Lin Muci could truly lead her to a new world.
…
Lin Muci and Ling Qianhe returned to the entertainment world first. Ling Qianhe had promised to bring the little girl Chaolu out, and he had indeed done so. However, as there was no suitable body at the moment, Chaolu was currently in a spirit form.
Ling Qianhe found a high-quality red jade bracelet for her to temporarily reside in.
According to common parlance, Chaolu had abandoned her former body and was now equivalent to… a ghost.
However, she herself didn't seem to care about this.
"As long as brother can see me, that's enough."
Both Lin Muci and Ling Qianhe could see Chaolu.
Chaolu adapted well to this world. Following Ling Qianhe and Lin Muci, she quickly understood their identities.
"Wow, you're so famous in this world…!"
"Everyone knows your identities!"
"This is amazing!"
Chaolu even found time to watch the works Lin Muci and Ling Qianhe had acted in. The little girl floated in mid-air and shed tears, sobbing, she said,
"It was so good… sob sob, I'm so touched… How can it be so good…"
"And your love story, brother and sister, is so captivating! Strong CP or whatever… I love you guys!"
Lin Muci: "…"
It was quite something that a ghost could be moved by her movies.
However, she and Ling Qianhe had to hurry to find a body for Chaolu and then send her to the interstellar world.
Because in her current state, if she remained in this world, it would cause great chaos.
Moreover, if her dark abilities continued to develop, it was possible that she could unknowingly plunge the inhabitants of Earth into dreams simultaneously… and those would be the most terrifying, insidious nightmares that could excavate the darkness deep within humanity's heart.
Lin Muci had also considered the possibility of letting Chaolu convey some truths, goodness, and beauty, and let everyone in this world experience a spiritual baptism.
Ling Qianhe, however, told her,
"She was born from darkness, so she cannot do that."
"Although her abilities are powerful, she needs a suitable guardian to lock them away."
"There is no such existence here. Only by returning to the interstellar world can there be a solution."
"That would also be a form of help for her."
So, despite her reluctance, Lin Muci had to send Chaolu to the interstellar world.
Moreover, that place could also find the most suitable body for her. After all, finding a body capable of accommodating her current powerful spiritual form was difficult.
And it had to be a human body—and one that had completely lost consciousness. Ling Qianhe said that in the interstellar mecha world, children who had gone through psychic storms were very suitable.
Their souls had been extinguished, but their bodies were very powerful.
Lin Muci always felt that Ling Qianhe's intention for Chaolu to go to the mecha world was not that simple.
She glanced at Ling Qianhe and suddenly asked,
"Do you want Chaolu… to help deal with the mother nest?"
