Mingxi's urgency seemed to materialize.

She could disregard her own life, but she couldn't ignore Emerald Green's safety.

And their only hope now was that infuriating Origin of Life and Destruction.

The Origin of Life and Destruction, quietly slumbering in her mental sea, seemed to hear the girl's call.

Finally, amidst various intense stimuli, it awakened!

Suddenly, it began to spin.

“Buzz—!”

The life and death energy surging into her body resonated violently, as if responding, yet also struggling.

A barely audible tremor emanated from her brow.

A powerful and irresistible suction force spread from Mingxi.

The Origin of Life and Destruction acted like an energy transfer station, beginning to divert the surging energy within the flower sea, easing the energy torrent that exceeded Emerald Green's carrying capacity, and simultaneously transmitting the energy it transformed into Mingxi's mental sea and body.

Mingxi could feel the excess energy, like a bursting flood, continuously pouring into her.

These energies were far more violent and chaotic than she had imagined; the Origin of Life and Destruction trembled violently as it absorbed them, as if it could explode at any moment.

Moreover, even with the Origin of Life and Destruction converting life and death energy, there was still overflowing life and death energy surging into Mingxi's body.

Mingxi's body also began to undergo changes; her skin would sometimes flush with a healthy glow, and her muscle lines visibly became taut and powerful.

At other times, it would turn pale and transparent, as if it would dissipate into nothingness the next second.

Excruciating pain surged in waves, a hundred times more intense than walking through the flower sea.

She felt as if her head was about to burst open, with tumultuous waves in her mental sea and various lights flashing chaotically.

This was a sign that her brain region was being forcibly developed under the Impact of energy.

Her entire body was also undergoing a complete transformation, with her strength rapidly increasing, but accompanied by the tearing sensation of bones and muscles reorganizing.

But this was just the beginning.

“Ah!!!”

No sooner had her body completed its transformation than it rapidly disintegrated and split under the Impact of chaotic energy.

Then, it quickly repaired itself under the nourishment of the Origin of Life and Destruction, and was transformed and reorganized again!

Once.

Twice.

...

Countless times.

This pain was inhumane; even someone with Mingxi's strong willpower couldn't help but scream shrilly during each decomposition and reorganization.

“Jinlan!”

Watching the girl's tragic appearance and listening to her hoarse cries of pain, Emerald Green's eyes were bloodshot; it wanted to help her but found that it didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

The energy within its body was still violent, but the pressure had suddenly decreased, giving it a moment to breathe, yet it also made it more clearly understand the pain Mingxi was currently enduring.

“...I...I’m...fine, uh—I...I’m fine!”

Even though she was overwhelmed, Mingxi still managed a faint smile.

“Don’t...don’t...worry...”

“Let’s...work...together...add, add oil...”

Mingxi spoke so intermittently, not because the pain was too great, but because of her body's continuous decomposition and reorganization.

“Jin.”

Emerald Green gritted its teeth, its gaze becoming even more resolute.

It couldn't let down the Little Human's efforts!

One person and one transcendent began to fully confront the crisis at hand.

Mingxi began to focus all her attention on guiding the Origin of Life and Destruction.

It was painful, but Mingxi knew very well that if she could endure it, the benefits she would gain would be no less than when the Origin of Life and Destruction first entered her body.

Both her brain region and physical abilities would experience leaps and bounds of progress.

So, let it hurt.

Things easily obtained are often less beautiful.

“Boom—!” 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Emerald Green also seized the opportunity Mingxi had created for it.

After Mingxi bore the brunt of most of the excess energy, the energy vortex within its body slowly stabilized.

The Ashura God Foundation, which was being constructed, also restabilized, its dark golden light surging wildly but healthily, firmly locking in the remaining energy and slowly beginning to digest it.

Mingxi and Emerald Green were like two insatiable sponges, embracing and soothing the turbulent energies.

Time passed minute by minute.

They stood silently in the flower sea.

From sunrise to sunset, and from moonrise to moonset.

The evening glow painted them with golden edges, and the morning dew dampened their hair.

And the flower sea also quietly changed with the passage of time.

The originally overly saturated colors, almost overflowing, seemed to be diluted.

The deep green lost some of its vibrancy, gaining a gentle warmth like lake water.

The dark gray was no longer as profound as night, instead revealing a faint gray tone, like brushstrokes blurred in an ink wash painting.

The flow of energy also became smoother.

It was no longer a surging torrent, but more like a tamed river, flowing quietly among the flowers, with a calm and unhurried rhythm.

The fragrance of the flowers in the air was still rich, but it no longer felt oppressive; instead, it gained a touch of sweetness.

“Master, it’s done!”

“Jinlan Asura’s God Foundation is complete!”

At this time, Mingxi's body decomposition and reorganization had also slowed down, from an initial three-second cycle to now half an hour.

The rotation speed of the Origin of Life and Destruction also slowed down.

And Guangguang's words also indicated that their crisis had finally been successfully overcome.

She began to retract her overflowing mental power and started to soothe the clearly agitated Origin of Life and Destruction, allowing it to fall back into slumber.

The awakening of the Origin of Life and Destruction had its benefits for her, and naturally, its drawbacks.

Just like when it first infused her body, she awakened a special physique because of it, but also only had four years of life because of it.

This time, it absorbed a large amount of life and death energy, transforming her body again, and her lifespan would likely be compressed once more.

“You guessed right, you now only have two years left.”

Guangguang sighed.

Four years was already tough enough, but now, it was almost halved.

Is it really possible to break through the limit within two years?

Alas.

Her master was too emotional and too fated to suffer.

“It’s okay, it’s much better than dying today.”

Mingxi, however, was calm.

The pressure was indeed great, but who could say that this improvement wouldn't be equivalent to two years of normal cultivation?

“Boom—!”

After Mingxi's condition stabilized, a bright light shone from Emerald Green's chest.

That was Emerald Green's already formed second energy core, the Ashura God ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Foundation.

A powerful and terrifying sense of strength emanated from this core, instantly flowing through Emerald Green's entire body.

The pain of being torn by two forces disappeared without a trace, replaced by a sense of completeness, control, and a majesty that was somewhere between divine and demonic.

Emerald Green felt this brand-new core within its body.

It was not a heart in the traditional sense, but a hidden energy core that perfectly integrated life and death, serving as its source of power.

Although it hadn't evolved yet, it could clearly feel that it had become stronger.
