For a moment, Xiao Chen felt a kind of powerless fear. This feeling has not been felt for a long time as his strength has become stronger. He now thinks back that he has been a little proud in recent days and has not even imagined his own failure. But today, he was really just a little bit away.
That's really thanks to that red petal.
At this time, Luo Ling seemed to have a telepathic connection. She looked back at him and asked, "Have you figured out Adriana's situation?"
"No, the flowers of the other shore that she transformed into in my meditation world have withered a lot, but today after she used her own power, I discovered that those flowers contain her soul power. Maybe she never left, but fell asleep in my meditation world. After all, the Spirit Tower is good at magic related to the soul, and it is not impossible for the soul to change its state and fall asleep.
Her state seems to be somewhat similar to that of the spirit servants. Master Kona guessed that perhaps turning into a flower form could reduce the consumption required for her existence to a minimum. Otherwise, if she entered our meditation world in her powerful saint form, it would probably make it very difficult for my meditation world to operate. When my realm is further improved, such as reaching the saint level, she can be resurrected from these Manjusaka flowers.
I just don’t understand why she didn’t tell me.”
Luo Ling smiled and said, "Because there is no point in telling you. Maybe she thinks that would only add a lot of pressure to you. It won't help you improve your realm at all."
Xiao Chen said: "No matter what, I do owe her one today."
"We all do." Luo Ling said, "Today, for a moment, I felt a little regretful."
“Do you regret taking the risk?”
"Yes. Exploring these ancient ruins is actually a very risky thing. Every year, countless adventurers die in those ruins without knowing it. Compared with the tower we are exploring today, their ruins are just child's play.
We were so close to following in their footsteps.”
"I can understand it 100%, but it's still a little surprising." Xiao Chen said, "You know, although you look like a young lady, your aura is definitely that of a female warrior... Oh, no, a queen."
"What does that mean? Do I have to play the role of a strong woman?" Luo Ling pointed her finger at the ground, and snowballs flew up, rushing towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen dodged hurriedly, but two more snowballs hit his head.
"That's an instinctive fear, understand? Although our souls can travel through the world, we don't know about the abilities of demigods. If the main consciousness is confined somewhere, only our psyche is alive outside. If the main consciousness is destroyed by it, then a part of us is truly dead.
Xiao Chen brushed off the snow on his head, walked over, and gently embraced her: "Okay. You don't have to think too much. Even the bravest warrior will get scared. If he's not scared, it must be because he didn't have enough time to think."
Luo Ling said: "I'm just a little afraid of the God of Nature. Alderon is only a demigod of his. If he is so powerful, can we really defeat the God of Nature? Don't you have this worry?"
Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "How can that be possible?"
"I'm really not worried."
Xiao Chen grinned and said, "Of course I am afraid. In fact, I am more afraid than you, because besides worrying about myself, I am also worried about you many times more!"
"The cheesy love talk is so sour that it's unbearable to hear."
"However, just now, I suddenly realized one thing. Are all the people who have accomplished something in history really fearless and worry-free at those critical moments?" Xiao Chen looked at Luo Ling with burning eyes. "I think it is impossible. They must be as scared and worried as we are! They may even be worse than us, and they may be scared to death. But for various reasons, they still made their own choices.
We humans are creatures that constantly hesitate and deny ourselves. Even the most determined heroes have moments of hesitation every day. Those who take the first step have simply learned not to make choices when they are hesitant or afraid.
Our history is a history of overcoming fear step by step. When the ape came down from the tree, when humans picked up the fire, when Homo sapiens walked out of Africa, when those tribal leaders were ready to conquer the surrounding areas, when the First Emperor raised his army to unify the world, when the Age of Exploration set sail, when the martyrs raised the flag, were they really not afraid? No, they were afraid like you and me, and now. We are just like them, ready to overcome fear. "
"You use parallelism quite well, don't you?" Luo Ling sneered, "I was just complaining, but you're giving me a lecture. Or are you actually trying to convince yourself?"
"You've discovered everything. Can you give me some face?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
However, Luo Ling suddenly hugged him tightly. He wanted to say something, but her fingers pressed on his lips. They hugged each other tightly in the snow for a long time: "I don't know why, even though I know that what you said is nonsense and I didn't listen to it at all. But... but I still feel much better. Thank you..."
"No need..." Xiao Chen was once again held in the mouth by Luo Ling. She leaned her head against his shoulder and whispered, "Don't say anything. It will only take a moment. In this moment, I will become the female warrior who follows you to fight."
Xiao Chen hugged her and felt a wet spot on his shoulder...
A week later, everything in the Tower of Broken Souls was cleaned out, and everything that could be taken away was packed into personal storage space.
The Chinese Tower even took down the mirrors that were used to refract the light of samsara.
Xiao Chen did not build a teleportation array here. After the things in the car were emptied, the value of this island and this tower would be almost consumed.
The Soul Forging Tower now looks like an empty stone tower when viewed from the inside.
After all the equipment that had been moved was sorted and checked, Xiao Chen and his team would cross the ocean again and embark on the journey back to the Pearl Islands. A few days ago, Mao Kai reported good news to them through the ship's communication method. After several modifications, the Xingtian was finally able to sail a long distance in the Raging Sea on its own. When the Houyi returned to the Pearl Islands and received the same modification, they could cross the Raging Sea to the Western Continent.
