[Jiang Mengli (looking at you with surprise, sending a message to you): Lin Qianxuan?]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): It's me.]

[Jiang Mengli (angry): I know it's you, but this is not the place you should be!!]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): But I still came.]

[Jiang Mengli (gazing at you, sighing): Then let's die together!]

Jiang Mengli didn't play games with Lin Qianxuan, exchanged a few brief words, and stood alongside the game character, confronting the Immortal Monarch opposite.

Your arrival moved Jiang Mengli, leaving her somewhat tongue-tied, but she has started to take your feelings for her seriously.

Whether out of gratitude or lust, at least there's someone important to her willing to face this together!

The current connection degree of Jiang Mengli's String of Destiny is 61%.

Tip: You have received a Sound Talisman [Aspiration].

[Aspiration: The heart aspiring for strength increases the speed of your Divine Power's display. (The speed of displaying Divine Power increases by 50%.)]

"Indeed, living and dying together is always the best strategy!" Lin Qianxuan said speechlessly.

When you walk towards death and have someone accompany you, no matter how that person is, you will inevitably feel some emotions.

Especially since, in Jiang Mengli's eyes, the game character might also somewhat resemble the shadow of the Dragon Head.

...

...

With the acquisition of the second Sound Talisman, the background scene changed accordingly, and background music played, carrying a bit of grandeur but suddenly lowering to focus on a certain point.

A past story is unfolding.

At this moment, Jiang Mengli was already in her early teenage years.

She was cultivating in the Grotto Heaven, while also witnessing the Dragon Head's invincible power that suppressed all worlds under its lead.

Such strength was what she aspired to.

And that figure also seemed to be something she admired.

At this moment, how much she desired to replace it or to fight alongside it.

Once again, the Dragon Head took her, subduing a formidable invading foe.

[When will I be like you?]

Jiang Mengli asked, holding the Dragon Head's palm.

The Dragon Head smiled.

[When you awaken.]

[Awaken to what?]

Jiang Mengli was puzzled.

[Responsibility and the principles of being human.]

The Dragon Head replied.

The greatest strength of the Dragon Head was never the power itself.

But the responsibility he bore and the posture of being human.

When he decided to shoulder the responsibility of civilization, the corresponding power was granted to him by the civilization behind him.

When he clarified his direction and understood his goals and ideals as a human, he was no longer confused, finding peace at heart.

However, these principles were not understood by young Jiang Mengli, or perhaps she had not grasped them in this way.

She only vaguely felt that suppressing everything was the power she was pursuing.

The Dragon Head's wisdom naturally understood Jiang Mengli's deviation, but he didn't forcibly correct her, merely smiling as he looked into the distance.

Every tree in the world has its own growth experience, he would not demand every tree to grow the same, not making every person similar to him, and he would not set any standard for right.

As long as it was allowed within the order of civilization, he found it reasonable and meaningful.

...

Tip: Jiang Mengli's information has been updated, and can be queried through the String of Destiny.

After reading this part of the Sound Talisman story, Lin Qianxuan stroked his chin, contemplating the change in Jiang Mengli's character.

The Dragon Head was too excellent and too great, causing difficulties for her to find a better existence growing up in this civilization after becoming human, leaving unavoidably some aspirations in her heart.

Moreover, the relationship between the two seemed not to be father and daughter, nor mentor and disciple, but more like siblings or Dao companions.

Indeed, although the Dragon Head enlightened her into a human, Jiang Mengli's essential Spiritual Light was truly an Innate Sacred.

The Dragon Head regarded her as a Dao companion.

It was precisely this attitude that might have led to some misunderstandings from Jiang Mengli....

Lin Qianxuan opened Jiang Mengli's personal information and saw a new memory inside, named [Moving Thought].

"Initiating thought movements?" Lin Qianxuan murmured as he seemed to gain some insight.

As he spoke, he also clicked to view it.

.....

By the side of Mengli Lake, the outwardly fifteen or sixteen years old Jiang Mengli looked at the Dragon Head who was fishing, seeming somewhat dazed.

Suddenly, the float moved.

She threw a stone, causing ripples on the water surface, scaring the fish away.

The Dragon Head glanced back at her, helplessly shooting a stream of water with a finger, hitting her forehead.

Jiang Mengli covered her forehead, pretending to be in pain, yet her eyes were full of joy.

She seemed to greatly enjoy such a time of companionship.

However, the Dragon Head stood up.

He looked towards the sky; another strong enemy was coming.

The Dragon Head vanished, leaving only a fishing rod, and the float bobbing disturbed by the fish biting it.

Jiang Mengli stared blankly, feeling a bit annoyed.

After a while, she looked towards a couple boating on the other side, where the man also coincidentally tapped the woman's head affectionately, causing a playful commotion.

Jiang Mengli touched her own forehead, blinking, seemingly pondering something.

...

"So it was a young girl's heart awakening..."

Lin Qianxuan showed a look of realization.

He thought there might be some unspeakable secret between Jiang Mengli and Dragon Head.

But now it seemed like just an early infatuation, a sudden one-sided admiration.

To be honest, he had also developed such feelings for quite a few pretty girls during his school days, but poverty and low social standing ultimately prevented those emotions from blossoming.

In fact, such early infatuation often dissipates over time.

When one matures, it's usually laughed off.

However, Jiang Mengli seemed too precocious to have moved past it.

Of course, the excellence of Dragon Head was also a factor.

.....

.....

Lin Qianxuan refocused his attention on the game.

The game character and the Immortal Monarch across from Jiang Mengli, with a cauldron suspended over his head, observed them both.

[King Jing (looking at you with admiration): A fine Divine Power, but unfortunately, your Dao Practice is too shallow. Yet, her tribulation is too great for you to bear. Being a True Immortal is not easy; leave now to avoid this causality.]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking his head): I owe her too much. If I don't risk my life, I'm afraid I cannot repay her.]

It was not only said in the game; in reality, Lin Qianxuan felt the same.

Jiang Mengli sought revenge for Chen Long'Er, guided him, advised him on the gravity of matters, sheltered his cultivation, gave him a Magic Technique, Elixir, granted him Town Guardian privileges, gifted him a Dragon Pearl, Grotto Heaven... The generosity, from beginning to end, was overwhelmingly heavy.

If he could indifferently watch Jiang Mengli die, it would truly damage his Dao heart.

If in ten simulations he couldn't save Jiang Mengli, Lin Qianxuan felt he would actually go to the Spiritual Qi World himself, seeking that eleventh possibility.

Even if the cost were death!

[King Jing (nodding): Fine, then I will fulfill your righteousness.]

After saying this, in the next scene, he attacked.

No unnecessary flourishes, just a simple punch.

But that punch carried infinite majestic power, neither shaking the void nor emanating Profound Light, just a punch sufficient to crush the enemy.

His will, his Great Dao was fully embodied in that punch.

Suppress all enemies, quash all techniques!

Spiritual Light appeared on Jiang Mengli's body, releasing an elusive palm, hard to discern between reality and illusion.

On the game character's side, the Dragon Horn Spear pierced forward, utilizing a previously demonstrated Divine Power, evolving into a world, equally grand and magnificent, overwhelmingly powerful, crushing all techniques.

Under the augmentation of the Sound Talisman, this Great Dao Divine Power was executed much faster than before, and in an instant of release, the entire world was formed, ready to strike.

Under King Jing's Divine Fist, Jiang Mengli's elusive palm was completely shattered.

In one punch, distinctions between reality and illusion were obliterated.

Or rather, whether real or illusory, it was all crushed in one punch!

The game character wielding his all-destroying spear followed closely.

The world created by Great Dao and numerous Divine Powers collapsed under that punch.

King Jing's Cultivation far exceeded Lin Qianxuan's imagination.

The terror of that punch also left Lin Qianxuan aghast.

"Boom~!"

The game character was forced back, the Dragon Scale Immortal Armor on him flashing with Profound Light, protecting him from harm.

On the other hand, Jiang Mengli wasn't so lucky; the Spiritual Light on her dissipated, her aura rapidly declining.

She had been using a Secret Technique to barely contend with the restrained King Jing, and now with the game character arriving and King Jing getting serious, she was naturally defeated in one move.

Lin Qianxuan opened his mouth, wasn't this screwing things up?

(Estimating in his heart how strong King Jing was.)

[In your heart, you secretly estimated the strength of the Immortal Monarch before you. In your feeling, his Dao Practice was at least over three hundred layers, possessing five different Great Dao auras, significantly exceeding your own strength.]

Lin Qianxuan momentarily found himself speechless.

What kind of concept was this?

The game character, under the Sound of Destiny, might have combat power multiplied a hundredfold.

But even with a hundredfold increase, the Dao Practice was about the level of a True Immortal Hundred Layers, mastering only Dragon's True Flame, far from comparable to King Jing.

However, the level of the Immortal Artifact in his hand was quite high.

The Immortal Robe's defense was strong, not even broken by King Jing.

[King Jing (looking at the Dragon Scale Immortal Armor on you and the Dragon Horn Spear in your hand): What a pity. If it were him here personally, relying only on an Immortal Armor and an Immortal Soldier left behind by him, you can't protect her.]

King Jing was clearly referring to Dragon Head.

Obviously, Dragon Head had carved out a piece of sky in the Spiritual Qi World back then.

Precisely because of this, numerous Immortal Monarchs were very apprehensive, previously afraid of the hidden cards left by Dragon Head on Jiang Mengli, thus hesitant.

Sadly, Dragon Head did leave something for Jiang Mengli, but it was not protective measures, but the top-tier treasure [Hidden Heaven Divine Jade], and it was triggered at an untimely moment.

After a lament, King Jing's power surged again, attacking the game character and Jiang Mengli with full force.

This punch was far stronger than the previous one, the Great Dao's suppressive power causing Lin Qianxuan in front of the screen to feel difficult to bear.

If even the previous punch couldn't be withstood, let alone a punch like this.

However, Jiang Mengli rushed forward without a word, simultaneously transmitting a message at light speed.

[Jiang Mengli (transmitting to you): Run!]

Her entire Spiritual Light was pushed to the extreme, brilliant golden light blossoming at the core. Vaguely, Lin Qianxuan could sense the very high essence of this light.

Jiang Mengli's true form was Innate Spiritual Light from Chaos, wrapped by the Spiritual Qi World while still gestating. That golden Spiritual Light was her essence, a unique creation in Chaos.

If categorized, this kind of thing would be among the top rarest in Immortal Treasures.

At this moment, Jiang Mengli was evidently planning to use her own origin as the price to secure a retreat for the game character.

However, the game character did not choose to flee.

His entire aura connected with the Dragon Horn Spear in his hand, countless True Flames pouring into it desperately. Vaguely, an intent revived from the spear.

He was evidently activating the Artifact Spirit, preparing to fight through it!
