Jungle was now silent.
No enemies… No sounds…
Only a gentle breeze… And two breaths — one heavy, one light.
Lin Yuan slowly stood up.
His body was still filled with pain… But inside him—
👉 A new power was flowing.
💀 "Heaven Devouring Bloodline stabilized…" 💀 "Current awakening: 47%"
He closed his eyes.
"This power…"
"This is not normal cultivation…"
"Are you… okay?"
A soft voice came from in front of him.
It was — Ye Lian
Now that the danger was over…
Lin Yuan looked at her carefully.
👉 And this time…
She looked even more beautiful than before.
The evening light was slowly fading away… And in its place, the soft glow of the moon appeared—
Which fell directly on Ye Lian's face.
Her eyes…
👉 Were no longer filled with fear… they were alive.
Her face…
👉 Like a sacred painting… one the world had never seen.
Her presence…
👉 Calm… yet deep.
Lin Yuan looked at her for just a moment…
Then looked away.
"I'm fine."
Ye Lian smiled lightly.
"You're lying."
Lin Yuan paused for a moment.
Then—
👉 A faint smile.
"Maybe."
🌿 AFTER THE STORM
Both of them sat in a small spot.
Burning pieces of wood around them…
And a small fire in between.
Ye Lian slowly said:
"I… am from the mortal world…"
"He captured me…"
"I didn't even understand what was happening…"
There was a slight tremble in her voice.
Lin Yuan stayed silent.
Then—
He asked directly:
"Do you know who you are?"
Ye Lian looked confused.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Yuan looked straight into her eyes.
👉 "You're not normal."
Silence.
The wind stopped.
Ye Lian's eyes slowly changed.
"You too…"
"Are not normal."
Both of them kept looking at each other.
As if they both understood the same thing—
👉 Both of them are different.
🧬 SYSTEM RESPONSE
💀 "Primary target confirmed…" 💀 "Primordial Yin Sacred Body…"
💀 "Synchronization condition approaching…"
Lin Yuan's heartbeat started getting faster.
"This moment…"
He closed his eyes.
And slowly said:
"Do you trust me?"
Ye Lian, without any hesitation—
👉 Nodded her head.
🌙 THE FIRST CONNECTION
The night had deepened.
Stars were shining in the sky.
The distance between them slowly decreased…
There was no hurry…
There was no force…
👉 There was only one thing—
Connection.
Two people from different worlds…
Had met on the same path.
And that night—
👉 Their fate became one.

💥 Level 10… shattered.

🌌 NEW BEGINNING
The first light of morning spread through the jungle.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
Everything felt different.
👉 Clearer
👉 Sharper
👉 More powerful
He looked at his hand…
Then—
Towards Ye Lian.
She was sitting beside him.
Calm…
But there was a new shine in her eyes.
"Now…"
She spoke softly—
"…we are together."
Lin Yuan looked at her.
Then—
👉 A slight smile.
"Now…"
👉 "We won't stop."
