Clutching the Flower Whisper Bead, Li Chengyi pondered a countermeasure in his heart.

'Should I take a gamble?'

He patted himself down, finding that everything he had stored away earlier was gone, destroyed in the final battle and who knew where it had flown.

'If there's no host, are Flower Whisper and Reverse Trace effective?'

He opened his palm, watching the purple Flower Whisper Bead roll slightly.

The golden light of Golden City illuminated it, faintly reflecting golden light and showing the patterns of the purple magnolia inside.

Hesitating for a moment, he finally gently turned his hand over, letting the Flower Whisper Bead fall straight down from the high altitude.

'The Silver Storm has no destructive threat to inanimate objects, so... just the Flower Whisper Bead should be fine.'

Watching the Flower Whisper Bead fall straight down, Li Chengyi's mood slowly returned to calm.

"Fall into the deep sea."

Waiting for an opportunity, and my next location.

Watching the Flower Whisper Bead completely fall into the black sea, he flew towards the Radiant Ark with the engraved ring.

After circling the golden ship, he found a gap where the ring could be embedded.

He gently pushed the ring in.

*Click.*

The entire golden ship trembled slowly, and golden lights lit up around it. Countless golden lights emanated from the ship's body, as if the entire ship had turned into a giant light bulb.

'Vessel Number Nine is about to depart... safety check complete.'

A deep male voice speaking the Black Sea language echoed above the deck.

Li Chengyi stood on the deck, feeling everything on both sides begin to recede. The sails billowed, and the ship began to sail towards the sea of clouds.

Golden City Saint Capital was slowly left behind.

He looked back at Saint Capital, if he could come to this place again next time, he definitely...

"Warning! No encrypted tower passage permit received. Empty Tower alert system activated. Ship is being locked on."

The male voice sounded again.

Li Chengyi watched as a semi-transparent shield gradually rippled around them, completely enveloping the entire ship.

And behind them, deep within Golden City, that door rippled again with residual golden light.

"You've got to be kidding me!?"

Li Chengyi's eyes widened, and he leaped up, using the last bit of his blood essence to borrow force and step into the air.

He saw, deep within Golden City, a golden light light up again.

A strong threat of death surged into his heart.

He no longer had enough blood essence and vitality. If he entered near-death again...

He would really die!

Die!

Die!

Die!??

Should he run!?

There was still time to run, but if the Radiant Ark was the only one, he would be trapped here forever.

At that time, the constantly increasing difficulty of the blind spots would eventually lead to his certain death!!

Looking at the golden light that was constantly brightening in the distance, Li Chengyi's mind went blank.

Since activating the Evil Flower, he had not encountered such a life-or-death crisis for a long time. His invincible power had allowed him to walk smoothly all the way to this moment.

But now...

Give up?

Or...

Time seemed to enter an extremely slowed state at this moment.

Li Chengyi's expression went from blank to clear-headed to determined, and finally to ferocious.

Countless faces, countless scenes, countless situations, flashed quickly in his mind.

But there was no way.

There was no way!

He couldn't stop that golden light, that terrifying light that even the Emerald Mother had been instantly repelled and disappeared by.

But if he abandoned the ship... the difficulty would definitely increase to a higher level. He couldn't get through it now, how could he expect to in the future?

Despair.

Sudden despair surged into Li Chengyi's heart at this moment.

The mentality he originally thought was safe jumped to the hopelessness of having no way out in the blink of an eye.

The huge gap caused an unspeakable anger to rise in his heart.

'No.'

'No!!'

'If this is my destined ending, then I absolutely will not allow it!'

The golden light force field frantically restored Li Chengyi's energy, and countless white blood essence squeezed out of his body, filling the surrounding area.

Moo!!

A giant figure emerged from the white mist, a massive deer-man over thirty meters tall.

It held a gray-white three-pointed halberd, the huge three-pointed halberd entwined with the threads of the Sword of Wisdom and Emotion, the top covered in golden light, coating the entire weapon.

'Soft Strength: Dragon煞 (shà)!'

'Flower Whisper: Fortress!'

'Heaven's Mandate...'

Li Chengyi raised the three-pointed halberd high, and the engravings on his chest lit up with white fluorescence.

Muscle fibers bulged, trembled, and released maximum strength.

"Rising Sun!!!"

"Kill!!!!"

In an instant, tenfold radiance erupted behind him, turning into a huge thrust. Under the terrifying full force, the three-pointed halberd broke through its limit, reaching an impact force of 60,000 tons, left his hand, and flew straight towards the golden beam of light that was shot out at the same time.

And at the moment of releasing his weapon, Li Chengyi covered himself in shadows, opened his mouth wide, and spat!

*Whoosh!!!*

The blazing black-red breath spewed out of his mouth, turning into a pillar of fire and rushing towards the golden light.

The golden light finally burst forth at this moment, silently shooting out.

The huge beam of light, hundreds of meters in diameter, was like a golden pillar piercing through everything, and slammed hard into the golden ship in mid-air.

Everything Li Chengyi released was like an ant shaking a tree, meaningless, and swallowed by the golden light in the blink of an eye.

And he himself was also swallowed by the beam of light in this millionth of a second and disappeared.

But...

His efforts were not in vain!

The position of the entire Radiant Ark had sunk at least dozens of meters compared to before he took action.

It was these dozens of meters that allowed the engraved ring embedding location at the core of the ship to avoid the fate of being destroyed by the golden beam of light.

*Boom!!*

The masts and building towers in the upper half of the golden ship were all cut off and dissolved by the golden beam of light.

The lower half, however, borrowed the force to accelerate, a semi-transparent light curtain rippling around it, and in an instant, it rushed into a semi-transparent vortex.

*Pfft.*

The ship completely disappeared into the vortex and disappeared.

The golden beam of light penetrated the vortex and continued to fly towards the distant horizon.

And the previous golden ship had completely disappeared.

Earth-Moon · Suiyang.

Inside Eternal Peace Garden, a pure white crescent moon suddenly lit up in mid-air on the green lawn.

*Crack.*

The crescent moon shattered, turning into countless white fragments that scattered.

As the fragments fell, a blurry human figure quickly emerged from faint to clear.

It was none other than Li Chengyi, covered in burns, even his hair burned away.

His body was covered in gray-white bone, covering the vital parts of his body. His eyes were charred, and his entire body was ninety-nine percent severely burned. His ears, nose, and mouth were almost melted and stuck to his face. Only his bare legs could barely support his body.

"Quick! He's out! Send him to the base immediately!" The people from Mingyuan Corporation had been waiting for a long time. Seeing his tragic state, their expressions changed drastically.

Rainbow Candy and Little Brown were both on the scene. Cinderalla directed professional medical personnel to step forward and gently place Li Chengyi on a stretcher.

"So hot!!"

A medical worker's gloves even began to smoke.

"Apply coolant!"

*Hiss.*

Coolant for cooling was evenly sprayed on Li Chengyi's body, emitting large amounts of steam.

"Don't worry..." Li Chengyi opened his dark eyes. Although he couldn't see anything, his mind could still sense the surroundings and form images in his mind.

"I'm fine."

"Yi-ge (older brother)..." Rainbow Candy approached the stretcher, looking at Li Chengyi who was wearing an oxygen mask, with a worried expression.

"You're injured like this and you're still saying you're fine?"

"At least I'm still alive," Li Chengyi said, revealing a strange smile.

His whole body was severely injured, and the blood essence and blood in his body were exhausted. He had reached the point of being like a dying lamp.

But...

As long as he was still alive... with his terrifying vitality, everything could be restored.

"Rest well. If you get through this time, the difficulty will probably be greater next time. You can't rely on walking the line like this again," Cinderalla said solemnly from the side.

"...Yeah," Li Chengyi closed his eyes. In fact, at the last moment, he could feel that his survival was entirely dependent on one of the two crescent moons he had accumulated before.

In that instant, all his consciousness drilled into one of the crescent moons, and then watched his body being burned to ashes.

Then the golden ship carried his consciousness into the transparent vortex and completely escaped.

After returning to reality, the crescent moon reshaped his body, and he regained control of his body.

"Next time..."

"Next time... it will never be like this again."

Become stronger.

Must become stronger!

Use any means!

At any cost! Become stronger than any being!!

Strong enough to never fall into such a painful situation again.

Never had there been a moment when Li Chengyi's desire to become stronger was so strong.

"Where's Pan En?"

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked aloud.

"He's seriously injured and still in a coma. His body is far less strong than yours, so his recovery is very slow after being injured. He's still in a coma and suspected of having brain damage," Cinderalla replied. Mentioning Pan En, he also felt a little inexplicably emotional.

After all, he was just an eight-year-old boy. Even if he was precocious, even if he had savior-like abilities.

But he was still just a child who had been slightly strengthened by the Flower Whisper Bead.

"Then, what about Big Bear?" Li Chengyi asked again.

"She hasn't come out yet..." Rainbow Candy's eyes revealed a hint of worry.

Li Chengyi was somewhat silent.

Pan En's brain damage, the recovery of the brain marrow, has always been the biggest problem in modern technology.

Even his various abilities are a huge difficulty for restoring brain marrow.

It's not just as simple as restoring the shape, but the information contained in the brain tissue is too much, restoring the tissue is simple, restoring the information contained inside is the difficulty.

"Let's go," Li Chengyi said in a low voice. "Big Bear still has one crescent moon left, she'll be fine."

"Yeah, I believe her," Rainbow Candy nodded, seriously, as if she was also trying to convince herself.

"Don't worry... Give me a day, I'll help her out!" Li Chengyi said seriously.

He was a Flasher, now that Pan En was not around, Big Bear's matter was caused by his decision to increase her blind spot difficulty, so... he would not ignore it.

"Yeah!" Rainbow Candy managed to show a smile.

Not far away, Little Brown leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette with his head down, without saying a word.

Cinderalla sighed, seeming to see his son's team from back then.

Before long, Li Chengyi was quickly sent to an underground base in the suburbs by aircraft for all-round recuperation.

A large amount of nutrient solution and drugs to accelerate healing were injected into his body.

He also completely fell into consciousness, and fell asleep to quickly repair his over-exhausted mental strength.

*

In an unknown underground palace.

Big Bear ran wildly, her chest heaving violently, shaking, her cheeks flushed, her physical strength had reached its limit.

The biochemical beasts she had released before had all been wiped out, and now only she remained after being modified.

The red dress was torn off most of the skirt by her, turning into a miniskirt.

Anyway, there were no living people here, so she didn't care about exposing herself.

Surviving was the first priority.
