Chapter 379 Newly Born Crystal Sprouts
In the bedroom, Yuan Bao was pale, with fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead, and his fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly.
The precise "Annihilation String" that just pierced through not only consumed a massive amount of spiritual power and spatial mysteries, but also, when it collided head-on with the viscous and insidious "Breath of Decay" pollution, it felt the cold malice that eroded the soul.
However, her eyes were sharper and colder than ever before, like the edge of a blade tempered by millennia of ice.
The crisis of the stolen Time Echoes hangs like a sword of Damocles over our heads!
My elder brother is just a stone's throw away!
The aura of the trapped little guardian spirit is becoming faint again as the contaminated layer is repaired!
Can't wait any longer!
We must make a concerted effort!
Her gaze instantly locked onto the potted green ivy by the window, bathed in the morning light, lush and vibrant—the result of her daily watering with the spiritual spring water imbued with the essence of the space.
"Spiritual spring water...the life-nourishing essence of space...the only hope for purifying decaying and polluted land..."
Yuan Bao's thoughts were like the most precise scalpel, instantly dissecting and revealing a feasible solution.
This requires an unprecedented and profound integration of her newly acquired spatial manipulation skills from the Hall of Mysteries of "Weaving the Void" with the primal power of the spiritual spring water in the real world!
"Little 9! Profound Hall Assist! Maximum Power Space Guidance Model! Target: Spirit Spring Water Origin Force Field! Guidance Path: Reality Dimension Coordinate Lock-in - Warehouse Anomaly Point Core!" Yuan Bao issued the command in his mind, each word carrying an unquestionable determination.
"Understood! Spatial guidance model loading! Spiritual spring water source force field analysis... Resonance enhancement in progress... Path locked! Warning! Cross-dimensional spatial guidance places a huge burden on mental power! And it is necessary to precisely avoid the shield area where Big Brother is located!" Little 9's voice was more solemn than ever before, and the torrent of data was running wildly.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath and raised his hands again. This time, he was not gathering destruction, but weaving life and purification!
The light flowing from her fingertips was no longer the silvery-white line of annihilation, but an extremely soft, pale silver light that seemed to contain the initial vitality of all things.
This stream of light is not purely spatial power, but rather the life purification string that she forcibly blended, purified, and guided by using herself as a bridge to combine MAX-level spiritual power, the spatial guidance model of the "Weaving the Void" mystery, and the essence of the spiritual spring water from the game world absorbed and contained deep within the roots of the potted green ivy.
This stream of light was even more delicate than the "Annihilation String," yet it exuded a pure aura that made the surrounding air feel fresh and the space seem to resonate with joy!
"go with!"
Yuan Bao lightly tapped the air with his fingertips!
The pale silver "String of Life Purification" silently pierced through the floor, ignoring the obstruction of matter, and precisely probed into the tiny hole that had been pierced by the "String of Annihilation" and was now being blocked by the frenzied backlash of pollution!
A corner of the warehouse.
The spatial folds, severely damaged by the "Annihilation String," resembled an enraged tumor. Dark purple contaminating energy surged wildly like boiling pus, attempting to repair the holes and rebuild the evil passage that extracted the "Time Echoes" from the woodland.
Inside, the faint, pure life force (the little guardian spirit) flickered like a candle in the wind, growing dimmer under the pressure of pollution, its message reduced to nothing but a desperate sob.
At this critical moment!
laugh--!
A pale silver stream of light, radiating boundless vitality and completely out of place with the surrounding deathly silence and pollution, like the gentlest hand of redemption, precisely and irresistibly probed into the closing hole!
hum!
The moment the pale silver "Life Purification String" touched the crystal fragment that was encased in pollution!
The miracle happened!
The surging, dark purple polluting energy, like boiling oil encountering its natural enemy, emitted an even more shrill "sizzling" sound!
But unlike the previous erosion of the space shield, this time, the polluting energy is being purified!
Where the pale silver light passed, the gray and withered hues were wiped away as if by an invisible eraser, revealing the faint yet pure silver-blue luster of the fragments themselves!
It is a vitality that originates from the very source of space, a unique rhythm of Crystal Forest!
"Ah...it is...it is pure...the source of life..." An extremely weak thought, filled with unbelievable joy and relief, like the slightest electric current, was clearly transmitted to Yuan Bao's consciousness along the pale silver light.
It was that trapped little guardian spirit!
Meanwhile, in Crystal Song Forest, at the heart of the Annihilation Storm.
The little sprite, who was exerting all its strength, even burning its own crystal scales to block the time flow of the Crystal Song Core and resist the continuous draining power, suddenly felt that the draining power, which was like a leech, disappear!
No, it's not just disappearing!
A warm, pure life force, so familiar and intimate to her, originating from the forest, flowed back to her like a spring of sweet water, weak yet steadfast, through some mysterious connection!
Although this force is small, it is like adding the purest firewood to a dying fire!
Om-! ! !
Beneath the little elf, the newly sprouted crystal bud and the entire core of the newly formed light domain suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly bright radiance!
The flow of time, which had been forcibly sealed off and almost frozen, began to flow again slowly but with unparalleled stability!
A wave of joy, originating from the core and filled with gratitude and rebirth, swept across the entire reviving light domain in an instant!
"Master... we succeeded!" The little elf's eyes instantly welled up with tears, its tense body almost collapsing, but the light in its emerald eyes shone astonishingly bright!
She clearly sensed the source of that feeding force: it was the fragment of her compatriots who had been polluted and imprisoned!
And the one who saved it was its owner, Yuan Bao!
In the real world, in a corner of a warehouse.
The pale silver "String of Life Purification" is like a living vine of light, gently yet firmly wrapping around the contaminated fragment of Crystal Song.
Wherever it goes, the dark purple pollution melts away like ice and snow, emitting a desperate wail, and is completely decomposed and purified!
As the pollution was quickly removed, the pure silver-blue light emitted by the fragments grew brighter and brighter!
It is no longer a lifeless "foreign object", but like a gem that has been wiped clean of dust, it has regained the vitality of the space!
The core of the fragment, that miniature, distorted warp cage, shattered and dissipated with a soft "pop" under the illumination of the purifying light, just like a fragile soap bubble!
A phantom, no bigger than a palm, translucent silver-blue in color, shaped like a curled-up glowing sprite, with two pairs of broken crystal wings on its back, was finally revealed!
Its light was extremely faint, and its crystal wings were covered with spiderweb-like cracks, clearly indicating that it had suffered great torment in the polluted cage.
At that moment, instinctively, as if grasping at a straw, it tightly hugged the pale silver stream of purifying light, its small body trembling violently from fear and the immense shock of being rescued.
Yuan Bao's "sense of emptiness" clearly "saw" this scene.
A pang of pain shot through her heart, and she gently manipulated the purifying light stream, carefully enveloping the fragile little life as if a mother were cradling her newborn infant.
"Don't be afraid, you're safe now." Yuan Bao's thoughts, like the gentlest breeze, brushed against the little guardian spirit's consciousness.
The little guardian spirit trembled, struggling to raise its head. Its eyes, composed of pure light and filled with bewilderment and immense gratitude, gazed in the direction from which the purifying light stream extended—that was where Yuan Bao was.
It seemed to want to convey something, but it was too weak and could only emit a faint halo of light, conveying pure dependence and reassurance. Then the radiance of the entire phantom quickly dimmed, as if it had exhausted its last bit of strength, curled up in the embrace of the purifying light stream, and fell into a deep self-repairing slumber.
Yuan Bao carefully guided the purifying light stream, slowly retracting it along with the crystal fragment that had been restored to purity but was significantly smaller in size and had a much more subdued radiance, as well as the little guardian spirit sleeping within it.
As the last wisp of pale silver light disappeared from the corner of the warehouse, the cold, deathly folds of space also vanished without a trace.
The bluestone floor remained intact, as if the terrifying events of just moments ago had never happened.
Only a faint, yet incredibly fresh, scent lingered in the air, like a forest after a rain shower.
Yuan Bao's bedroom.
The pale silver light flowed back, condensing into a soft, fist-sized ball of light above her palm.
At the core of the ball of light was a miniature, pure fragment of the Crystal Song. Inside the fragment, the tiny phantom of the guardian spirit slept peacefully, its faint aura rising and falling gently with the rhythm of its breath.
Yuan Bao let out a long, silent sigh. His face was as pale as paper, and his body swayed slightly. A strong sense of dizziness and the stinging pain from the exhaustion of his mental energy surged over him like a tide.
The actions she had just performed, whether it was penetrating or purifying and guiding, had consumed almost all of her mental energy.
But as she looked at the ball of light in her palm, radiating a pure aura of life and space, her eyes were filled with a warm sense of relief and a chilling lingering anger.
Home is safe for now.
The crisis in Crystal Forest has been temporarily averted.
This little guardian spirit has been saved.
however……
“Extracting the echoes of time from the woodland… using the contaminated fragments as anchors and straws…” Yuan Bao’s eyes sharpened like ice once more as she gazed at the sleeping little life within the ball of light, and also at the pure fragments.
Who is the enemy?
How did they manage to contaminate fragments of Crystal Grove and project them into reality?
What is the purpose?
Is it merely the extraction of power, or is there a deeper conspiracy?
How many more such "anchor points" are there?
Beneath the calm surface of the lake, deadly undercurrents are already surging.
The line between reality and games becomes blurred like never before in the face of malice.
Yuan Bao knew that this silent war had only just begun.
Downstairs, Yuan Ma's booming voice rang out: "Baby! The steamed dumplings Qingqing left for you are getting cold! Are you done with your work? Come down and eat!"
Yuan Bao quickly suppressed all his sharpness, his face instantly switching back to its usual gentleness. He carefully put the ball of light containing the Crystal Song fragments and the guardian spirit into a jade box temporarily reinforced with spatial mysteries.
"Coming, Mom!" she called out, her voice carrying just the right amount of relief, as if she had just finished her "busy" work.
Pushing open the door, a warm smile graced her face, as if the silent life-or-death rescue that had just taken place in the real world was merely a brief moment of contemplation.
Only she knew that beneath the calm surface of her daily life, the string of vigilance was stretched to its limit.
Inside the jade box in her palm lies a sleeping ally from another dimension, and a chilling mystery pointing to the mastermind behind it all.
