Chapter 580 The Reason for Two Worlds

The whole process was fleeting, but the pain it brought to Lin Xiyue was unprecedented.

"Ugh—ah—"

Suddenly, Lin Xiyue let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Her small body convulsed in waves, and the painful sound seemed to emanate a painful vibration from the air.

At this moment, little Lin Xiyue had lost all expression, her face filled with pain.

The pain was so intense that even her nerves, which had become dull and unresponsive from the prolonged torment, could not withstand the excruciating agony. She couldn't help but tremble and spasm uncontrollably.

All of this is because the suffering she endured this time was far more than just physical pain; it was a gnawing and tearing from the depths of her soul.

This kind of pain, which penetrates to the bone, cannot be easily endured by sheer willpower alone.

Not to mention, Lin Xiyue was just a four or five-year-old child at this moment.

Even though she has always lived in a slum, she is much more mature and experienced than other children her age.

They also have great patience and luck.

However, no matter what, little Lin Xiyue was ultimately just a young and ignorant child.

Under such excruciating pain, let alone a small four or five-year-old child, even a strong adult man would probably find it difficult to endure.

[Just hang in there a little longer~~ It'll be over soon, very soon, just bear with it a little longer.]

The system didn't care whether Lin Xiyue could hear its own voice or not, and still comforted her.

Seeing Lin Xiyue's miserable state, the system immediately increased its operating speed again.

In just a few seconds, the system successfully separated Lin Xiyue's soul from the spiritual power contained within her body.

Meanwhile, the poor, petite girl had already fainted and was unconscious.

However, the horrific sight of her face contorted in agony and her body's skin and bones seemingly collapsing came to an abrupt end.

[Phew—thank goodness I was quick!]

The system raised its hand to wipe away the non-existent beads of sweat on its forehead and exhaled a heavy breath as if a great weight had been lifted from its shoulders.

Now that things have come to this, it can finally slow down a bit and begin to carry out a series of more meticulous and thorough follow-up processing tasks.

The system first performed detailed actions on Lin Xiyue's soul.

It split it into two parts of different sizes. Under the system's operation, the smaller piece of the soul gradually merged and permeated with the separated energy.

As time went on, these energies gradually became aware of the existence of this relative soul and produced an instinctive reaction.

The energy began to actively nourish and protect this fragile soul, and at the same time, it subconsciously began to repair the wounds that had just been split in the soul.

At the same time, the larger portion of the soul was taken into the system's possession.

After observing for a moment, the system quickly mobilized all its energy, gathering the vast majority of it into one place and tightly wrapping it around the larger fragment of the soul, as carefully and firmly as a dutiful mother hen protecting her chicks.

Immediately afterwards, the system, along with the soul fragments, rushed without hesitation into a spatial portal that the system had opened on its own.

After the system successfully passed through and disappeared without a trace, the small body of Lin Xiyue left behind did not fall into silence.

On the contrary, the hideous wounds on her body were slowly healing and returning to their original state at a visible speed under the influence of the powerful energy that kept surging from her body.

Beyond her memory, upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue finally felt a surge of understanding: So that's how it is!

She finally understood why she ended up in an orphanage on Earth, where she spent her childhood.

Perhaps it was because the system left all its abilities on Feng Mingxing's body when it took her away that Earth seemed able to barely accept their existence.

However, at this moment, Lin Xiyue was still unaware of how the system had managed to give her soul a physical body again, allowing it to thrive on Earth.

Faced with numerous mysteries, all she can do right now is to continue working step by step to piece together those fragments of memory.

Only after all her memories have been fully integrated can she wake up and ask the system how it did it back then.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiyue witnessed a heartbreaking scene—the small figure (which was a part of herself) who appeared dull and slow to react due to the loss of most of her soul.

After confirming that she was no longer in pain, she slowly stood up.

Then, dressed in blood-stained clothes, she walked with slightly unsteady steps, closely following the calico cat that had returned to look for her earlier, and together they walked towards the familiar, simple shack.

In her memory, little Lin Xiyue spent about a week with that adorable calico cat.

However, this difficult life did not last long before things changed.

Once, when they went out to find food, they were fortunate enough to be discovered by the director of the orphanage, who happened to find the two of them, a human and a cat, who depended on each other for survival.

The kind-hearted headmaster decided without hesitation to take Lin Xiyue and the calico cat away together.

However, cats are not allowed to be kept in welfare homes, so the calico cat was sent to an animal shelter to wait for a new adopter.

Meanwhile, young Lin Xiyue was taken to the welfare home by the director, and after completing the necessary procedures, she officially began living there.

In the days that followed, Lin Xiyue quietly looked back on her memories of the orphanage.

Although the kind and amiable old director showed her a lot of care, there were many children in the welfare home, and there were also many other staff members who needed to be assigned work.

Therefore, it is really difficult for the dean to take care of every child at all times by himself alone.

Therefore, although Xiaolin Xiyue was born with an adorable appearance, with red lips and white teeth, and an innocent and naive demeanor, she often showed a dull and listless expression, as well as an attitude of having no interest in the outside world, which made her gradually become an "oddball" in the eyes of the other children.

For any group, being an "outcast" often means being rejected and bullied.

As a result, little Lin Xiyue was often bullied by other children in the orphanage.

Fortunately, because most of her soul is not in her body, she doesn't have many reactions and therefore hasn't been bullied to the point of developing psychological problems.
