After detaching from the previous world, Su Li returned to the Chaotic Space.
As soon as her figure materialized in the space, she immediately sensed something unusual.
The originally silent world seemed to have suddenly been infused with vitality, as if a breath of life had taken up residence.
Taken aback for a moment, Su Li’s face broke into ecstasy.
In a thought, she appeared next to the white cocoon that existed within the space.
Her hands trembling, she gently touched it, and the cocoon also shivered, responding to Su Li’s touch as though it recognized her.
The long-missed childish voice appeared in her Conscious Sea. Although still very weak, Su Li could discern that it was the consciousness of the little bug.
"Mom, I missed you so much."
The whining coo softened Su Li’s hardened heart.
After sensing for a while, the Cup King, who had also suffered a calamity, was fortunate enough as its Spiritual Wisdom soared to a great height.
But after sending out just that single wave of consciousness, the little bug exhausted all its strength and quickly fell into another round of deep sleep.
Despite this, Su Li was still overjoyed, and it seemed that the little bug’s recovery was just around the corner.
In the Chaotic Space, nourished by Chaotic Power, Merit Golden Light, and Faith Power, the soul of the little bug was still as thin as paper.
To fully repair the soul, she didn’t know how long it would be, but there was still hope, wasn’t there?
In the midst of Su Li’s joy, a tiny light beside the big white cocoon also trembled slightly.
But Su Li was so captivated by the little bug inside the cocoon that, in her excitement, she completely missed such a tiny disturbance.
As a result, she failed to notice that the artificial intelligence which had chosen self-destruction because of her also showed signs of reawakening.
Before she could investigate further, an unexpected disturbance occurred.
The entire space suddenly experienced violent turbulence, and a lightning-like bright light cleaved through the space, illuminating the dark void as if it were daylight.
For the first time, Su Li saw the full view of the space, imprinted in her eyes in that instant.
But in the blink of an eye, the disturbance disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, as if it had never happened.
Yet, in that instant of destruction, Su Li found that this place, no matter how she probed, seemed shrouded in darkness; in fact, it was a spherical space.
This section of the space was wrapped in a soft membrane, protecting it from external attacks.
Su Li could see that on the outside of this membrane, illuminated by that bright light, were not only ferocious Exotic Beasts but also terrifying Space-time Blades.
If it weren’t for the existence of that soft membrane, in less than a second, she feared she would have been eroded by these dangers instantly.
These revelations only deepened the mysteries in her mind.
The space she was in seemed more like it had been created by a Great Power.
But who had done this? Why did they do it? What was their relationship with her?
She always felt as though some invisible great hands were constantly pushing her forward.
Without time for more contemplation, a new Merit Master appeared.
It was a beautiful girl whose sense of familiarity, more than all the Merit Masters of the small worlds she had encountered before, made her feel close to her.
The familiarity Su Li referred to wasn’t the feeling of having met before, but to her appearance.
All the bodies she had inhabited were somewhat similar to her soul’s own appearance, so they were all very beautiful.
And this one, in particular, resembled the essence of her soul by seven or eight points.
Undoubtedly, such beauty, if placed in the ordinary world, would certainly be the object of astonishment and pursuit.
The pride of being spoiled and adored by people was also evident in the girl before him.
But now, her eyes were filled with determination.
"I will exchange all my Merit to ensure that he and I never meet again, life after life."
A sphere of light like a Little Sun shot toward Su Li at high speed and instantly entered her body.
Su Li was familiar with this golden light, but it was more comforting than what she had obtained before.
This was the light of worldly salvation. Considering its dazzling intensity, it was hard to know what the girl had done to receive a bit of recognition from the small world’s Heavenly Dao consciousness.
Judging by the girl’s concise statement just now, it was not hard to guess what she was up to.
People always fail to see through these matters of love.
To give up such great benefits for a little love seemed a bit too wasteful.
Anyway, Su Li felt pity for her.
-----------------------------
Another sunny afternoon, Su Gaoshi gently pushed his daughter’s door open to peek inside and, seeing the lump under the covers and hearing the soft sound of breathing, he quietly closed the door again.
Although the floor was carpeted, Su Gaoshi still tiptoed, fearful of making even the slightest noise that might disturb the sleeping person inside.
These days had been worrisome for him.
A week after her 18th birthday, his daughter had suddenly woken from her sleep in the middle of the night and had been unable to sleep ever since.
It was as if she suddenly had worries on her mind. During the day, her face was never cheerful, and at night she could not sleep at all.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, he would get up and hear the sound of sobbing coming from her bedroom.
He had wondered if it was because his daughter was at an age where she might be in love.
But, ever since she was a child, his daughter was extraordinarily intelligent and had always skipped grades in school.
Now at 18, she had already graduated from college.
Because she was younger than her peers, she had difficulty fitting in with many things, let alone dating. Su Gaoshi hadn’t seen her with any close male friends.
She had few female friends as well, and with his daughter in such a state, Su Gaoshi was at a loss, only able to worry.
When he asked her, she wouldn’t say.
Fortunately, she finally fell asleep at noon today.
After nearly a week of restless nights, even the strongest eventually run out of steam.
"Did our daughter fall asleep?" Mrs. Su stood at the top of the stairs and asked softly.
Su Gaoshi nodded, "Yes, she’s asleep... Prepare some nourishing soup for her later, so it’ll be ready when she wakes up."
Mrs. Su nodded in agreement, but her face was still clouded with worry, "Husband, what do you think is really wrong with our daughter?"
Su Gaoshi speculated, "Could it be because she’s studied too much?"
"She’s like she never went through adolescence. Girls her age are busy falling in love, chasing celebrities, wearing makeup..."
Su Gaoshi wasn’t sure and hesitantly said, "Maybe we should talk to her, let her relax a bit, and really enjoy herself for a few years."
"After all, she’s young, already a college graduate, and we’re not short of money. There’s no need for her to earn a living."
"I think that’s a good idea. Once our daughter wakes up, you can discuss it with her."
Meanwhile, at the base of the stairs, the girl in question opened her eyes the moment Su Gaoshi gently closed the door.
