Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: I Do

When the Goddess of Life saw the silver-haired young girl, her eyes lit up. With her Divine King's vision, she could see that the moment the young girl arrived in this World, the surrounding life laws began to become active. Even the Ancient Tree of Life began to sway, exuding joy.

"Is this? The true meaning of life. This child has comprehended the meaning of life, which is truly remarkable."

"Moreover, this child's bloodline comes from an ancient Divinity of the life system. What a powerful bloodline, what a powerful unknown Divinity, even the Dragon God probably can't compare!"

From the silver-haired young girl, the Goddess of Life discovered too many things.

But what puzzled the Goddess of Life was that this child also exuded another kind of power fluctuation, which was the power of a Destruction-type Divinity, and it was no weaker than the life-type bloodline she possessed.

Destruction and life, simultaneously present in one child, filled the Goddess of Life with immense joy. She saw destruction and life in the silver-haired young girl, and she saw the possibility of her and the God of Destruction conceiving new life.

She and the God of Destruction were husband and wife, but due to the conflict between destruction and life, they had always been unable to conceive offspring. This had always been a regret for both of them, but the appearance of the silver-haired young girl gave her hope. Could this be the great auspiciousness indicated by the Life Prayer Ceremony?

If her idea was correct, then this was indeed a great auspiciousness for her and the God of Destruction.

Immediately, she looked at another spiritual body, which was the spiritual body of an ordinary person. Logically, the spirit should have dissipated the moment it left the body, but for some unknown reason, it had been preserved.

The Goddess of Life guessed that the starlight must have protected his soul, but now that starlight had clearly exhausted its power and could no longer protect the spiritual body.

At this moment, Liu Xing's body began to dissipate into points of light. Liu Ying's tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes. She was at a loss, not knowing what to do. She had no way to keep Liu Xing.

Liu Xing looked at his increasingly ethereal body and said lightly, "It seems my name wasn't chosen wrong. Liu Xing, a fleeting meteor, it's really fitting."

"It's just, Liu Ying, I might have to break my promise. You'll have to walk the rest of this path alone. I've reached the end of this journey and can't accompany you any further."

Liu Xing's tone carried a hint of regret. After finally meeting his paper-thin wife, he was still very much looking forward to his upcoming adventure with Liu Ying, but unfortunately, he was always a dead person, a dead person with only a soul body remaining.

But since he had already reached the end, there was nothing he could do.

Liu Xing was very open-minded. The only thing he couldn't let go of was Liu Ying. Liu Ying, whose fate he had influenced and who had gained his memories, he didn't know what her future would hold, or if she would be able to cure her entropy loss syndrome.

Liu Xing stretched out his right hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corner of Liu Ying's eyes, but he touched nothing. He withdrew his hand in disappointment. In the very end, how much he wished to touch his paper-thin wife from his previous life.

"Can't you, don't go!"

Liu Ying's tears flowed uncontrollably. She felt as if she was back on that battlefield, with the bodies of comrades and swarms of insects scattered across the entire planet, and that loneliness and sorrow of being the only one left.

Liu Xing showed a relieved smile and comforted her, "Don't cry. Death is not the destruction of life, but merely moving to another place. You must continue to live. Perhaps one day, you will see me in another place. When that happens, be sure to say hello to me!"

Liu Xing looked at the dim starlight, guessing that it must have consumed too much energy to avoid the Star God of Joy, otherwise the starlight would not have entered that dark spatial dimension.

Liu Xing chuckled, "Although I don't know if you have self-awareness, I still thank you for allowing someone like me, who should have died, to experience this fantastical journey, and for letting me meet Liu Ying. But alas! I must get off now. Goodbye."

Liu Xing closed his eyes, unable to bear seeing Liu Ying's sorrowful face, and sighed to himself, "In the end, besides regret, there's nothing left!"

"You annoying God of Fun, you have to take the blame for this, otherwise I could have accompanied Liu Ying for a while longer."

Liu Xing also felt a little sad. His paper-thin wife was by his side, yet he couldn't touch her, and they were about to part.

"Alas! Poor child."

An extremely gentle voice sounded at this moment. Liu Ying suddenly looked up, subconsciously pulling out a firefly-shaped transformation device from her right hand, and looked around vigilantly.

"Child, do you want to save him?"

The gentle voice sounded again. Liu Ying's body trembled. Although she didn't know whether the newcomer was friend or foe, she couldn't care about anything else now. She was helpless regarding Liu Xing's situation and could only grasp this last straw.

Liu Ying nodded without hesitation and said, "I want to save him, no matter the cost."

"Neither you nor he belongs to this World. This World has no imprint of either of you. Once he dies, his soul will be scattered, and he won't even be able to reincarnate. Although I can help him reconstruct his physical body, his soul is incompatible with this World, so reconstructing his physical body would be useless."

The gentle voice also sighed.

Liu Ying frowned, her eyes narrowed, and she tightened her grip on the wing-sheath transformation device in her hand, saying coldly, "Are you playing with me?"

"Don't rush, child. I still have a way to save him."

The gentle voice did not get angry because of Liu Ying's attitude, remaining as gentle as ever.

Hope ignited in Liu Ying's eyes, and her tone softened considerably, even carrying a hint of pleading, "Please tell me."

The gentle voice said, "He has no physical body, so he has no anchor point, but you do. Are you willing to accept my inheritance, establish a connection with this World, and share life with him?"

Liu Xing frowned, shook his head and said, "No need. Although I don't know what accepting your inheritance means, I just want to leave peacefully and not implicate anyone."

Although the owner of this voice might have good intentions, sharing life, at first listen, didn't sound friendly to Liu Ying. Liu Xing wouldn't do anything to harm Liu Ying just to stay alive. He had a will to survive, but for him, being able to see his beloved paper-thin wife and experience this fantastical journey was already enough.

"I am willing!"

Ignoring Liu Xing, Liu Ying said decisively.

It was just sharing life, not taking her life. She had nothing to hesitate about. For her, life was very important, and Liu Xing was also very important.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, having exchanged memories, they felt as if they had known each other for a very long time.

Liu Xing couldn't help but say, "Liu Ying…"

"Shut up."

Liu Ying glared at Liu Xing, looked around, and not finding the owner of the gentle voice, she asked loudly, "What should I do?"
