Time in a collapsing world

"All right?"

Hua walked out of the kitchen, the aroma of food wafting from behind him, "Let's eat first, Li, there's no need to rush."

"Okay, I'm a little hungry."

Yaeri could afford to wait for lunch, so she went into the kitchen with Destobia and Nozomi.

Today's lunch is white steamed buns with beef, and some other side dishes. It is considered a relatively sumptuous meal on Mount Taixu.

Although it is not as good as Tianming's, it also has a unique flavor.

"Li, do you want your sister to feed you?"

Looking at Yaeri standing next to the table with her short hands holding chopsticks, Desdobia teased.

"unnecessary."

Yaeri tightened her grip on the bowl and chopsticks a little and glared at Desdobia who was still busy eating.

Even though she was stared at by an eight or nine-year-old child, Desdobia didn't feel any aggression at all. "Li is really cute."

"hateful……"

After finishing their meal in a few bites, they went outside and looked at the transparent containers scattered all over the floor.

"It's a bit troublesome to take them all out..."

Desdobia said with a headache.

"No, leave it to me."

Yaeri shook her head and walked forward.

His eyes turned black and white, and invisible waves appeared. The collapsed crystals that were originally in various containers disappeared in a wave-like ripple.

Opening up [space]. Yaeri hadn't used her power in this area for a long time, so she was not very familiar with it.

At least by the time all the Honkai crystals were incorporated into the [Space], he had consumed too much energy and time.

Under the nervous gazes of the people behind him, Yaeri wiped the sweat from his forehead and activated his power once again.

At the same time, all the Honkai crystals that were taken into the [space] emitted a faint light, and then the purple energy was compressed and controlled, forming a thin stream that slowly flowed into the small hole that Yaegiri had specially opened in that [space].

The other end of the hole is directly connected to the black core inside Yae Ri's body.

"I hope I won't explode due to the high load~"

Comforting herself in this way, Yaeri turned around and gave her companions a reassuring smile, and then wholeheartedly welcomed the influx of a large amount of Honkai energy.

———!

When the first energy came into contact with the core inside Yaehime's body, he immediately clenched the transparent sphere in his hand, absorbing the Houkai energy while also consuming it.

Convert it into power and then restore the sphere in your hand that represents another [space].

Really, if he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have put so much effort into constructing this [space]. It's so tiring.

Yaezaki stared at the scene in front of him, as if he could see a progress bar that only he could see.

"One percent... Two percent..."

He kept repeating in his mind, concentrating on controlling the surge of power in his body.

When he counted to 50%, he suddenly noticed something strange - his body seemed to be unable to bear it.

Although the burden was not yet serious, it was enough to arouse his vigilance.

Immediately afterwards, the value soared all the way and reached 70%!

At this moment, Yae Ri, who had his back to Hua and the others, had a ferocious look on his originally cute little face!

I saw blue veins bulging on his forehead, cheeks and chin. These veins were wriggling under the skin like earthworms, as if they would burst at any time!

What is even more creepy is that among those blue veins, there are strands of purple liquid flowing. These strange liquids flow slowly along the blue veins, and wherever they pass, the skin turns an abnormal dark purple color, which looks extremely scary!

Eighty percent, the transparent sphere in Yae Ri's hand was already flickering, as if its existence was about to be erased.

However, as the price of achieving this step, purple blood actually flowed from Yae Ri's mouth and nose, but this blood was ruthlessly evaporated in an instant by the surrounding Honkai energy, as if it had never existed.

Ninety percent, Yaeri is about to collapse, but at this time the sphere has lost its substance, replaced by those familiar figures floating in the air like a mirage.

Alicia, Qianjie, Padu, Kosmo, Velvet and... Sakura.

These familiar figures lay there quietly, with their eyes closed, as if they were fallen into an endless sleep.

Some force forced them into this state, making them unable to wake up on their own.

However, as time went on, and especially as the connection with the Overworld deepened, some subtle changes began to appear.

First, someone's eyelids trembled slightly, then the fingers moved gently, followed by a tiny tremor in the body.

These signs indicate that they are gradually waking up from their slumber.

Everyone seems to recover at a different speed, but there is no doubt that they are all trying to break free from the darkness that binds them and return to the real world.

This scene could be seen clearly not only by Yaeri, but also bystanders such as Hua, Xi, and Destobia.

"Is this... almost successful?"

Xi suppressed his inner excitement and clenched his hands involuntarily.

"I can already sense the presence of Alicia and the others. I'm just a little bit away..."

Hua frowned tightly, staring at the phantom-like figures in the air without blinking. Even he, who was usually calm and composed, found it difficult to control himself at this moment.

"Since Li said that he can do it, then he can definitely do it. Everyone relax."

Destobia was keenly aware that Yaeji's body was trembling slightly, and she knew that Xi and Hua must have noticed this as well. However, they could only watch silently from the sidelines and could not intervene. In order to ease the tense atmosphere, she deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Ninety-eight percent, ninety-nine percent... one hundred percent!"

When she counted to the last number, Yaeri saw Alicia and the others who were originally in that [space] completely emerge and fall to the ground under the influence of gravity.

However, Yaeri no longer had the strength to catch them, and she collapsed instead.

Countless feelings of fatigue surged into her heart, and Yaeri's eyelids could no longer bear it and slowly closed.

The last scene he saw was that a fairy girl in mid-air woke up first. There was still a hint of confusion on her beautiful face, but the next moment, she suddenly noticed something and pounced on him.

Yae Li felt a fragrant breeze blowing towards him, and then his body was wrapped in a soft feeling. He could even feel the other person's rapid breathing and violent heartbeat, which made him completely relax from his originally nervous mood and fall asleep peacefully.
