"Selinda!" Li Jia and "Ambition" shouted at the same time.

Serinda fell to the ground, with four huge claw marks on her chest and abdomen from left to right. If this was her real body, her internal organs would probably fall out. However, even with her conscious body, such a heavy blow made it impossible for her to get up.

She supported half of her body with her elbows and turned her head towards Li Jia with great effort.

"Why didn't you leave?" Li Jia glanced at the crack. The crack was slowly shrinking, but it had not disappeared yet.

"Because I was waiting for you, but you didn't come." Serinda was very weak, but she laughed, "Sure enough, if I didn't come, your stubborn mind would have problems."

"I'm sorry... I suddenly feel ashamed to leave this world."

"Li Jia, you love me."

"certainly."

Serinda looked at Li Jia and said word by word: "So you are not allowed to run away. You must be a warrior."

Li Jia wanted to rush over to help her, but a sharp claw stabbed at her face.

Ambition said loudly: "Our work is not over yet."

Li Jia blocked the one-meter-long claw with both hands.

"I've changed my mind now."

"Then let's see who is more qualified to survive based on their real abilities. Ha! 'Warrior of Love', so disgusting." The young man pounced on him, followed by a violent attack.

After being strengthened by other dead consciousnesses, both Li Jia and Ambition have become supermen in this small world. Li Jia has only just discovered that he is much faster, stronger, and more powerful than in real life. Every punch and kick from him and Ambition can destroy everything around them.

However, he did not have much combat experience, while "Ambition" was much more skilled than him, and with the advantage of sharp claws, Li Jia was basically beaten. When he was still surprised that his punch had collapsed a pillar, "Ambition" had already left several scars on him. When he finally hit "Ambition"'s body, he found that the opponent had exchanged a minor injury for a major one, breaking one of his arms.

I really can’t fight! Once again, Li Jia was kicked out by the opponent, and directly knocked over three rows of bookshelves and buried in the pile of books.

“Give up. While you were obsessed with those magics, I was observing the fight between those mercenaries. Although I can’t be called a master of fighting, it’s no problem for me to leave you behind by several blocks. If this wasn’t a world of consciousness, you would have died long ago.” Sweeping aside two bookshelves, “ambition” slowly approached.

The word "ambition" startled Li Jia, who was struggling to get up. Consciousness world? He suddenly realized that he had overlooked the most important question, which was where to fight now.

Li Jia lay motionless in the pile of books, but her mind was calculating like lightning. Wait a minute, this is not the real world, nor the meditation world, but inside my consciousness, so everything is not objective. If the meditation world is an objective spiritual world, where my consciousness transforms my subconscious. Then this is a subjective spiritual world, which is my consciousness itself.

Here the world is me and I am the world. There is only one thing I cannot change, and that is Serinda's consciousness. Everything else is just a thought in my mind!

I have just been fighting with my creation power in the meditation world, but this has not unlocked my true power here. I can do much more here than I can do in the meditation world!

When Li Jia stood up from the pile of books, his broken arm was completely healed and all the wounds on his body had disappeared. He looked at the "ambition" that was rushing towards him, and his mind moved. "ambition" seemed to be restrained by an invisible force. It was waving its claws and claws in the air, but it could no longer get close to Li Jia.

"What's going on!" Like a drowning person struggling in the water, "Ambition" twisted and roared.

"There are too many things on you that don't belong to you." Li Jia stretched out his hand to "Ambition", and countless tiny points of light poured out from the body of "Ambition", and then flowed into Li Jia's hands like a stream.

"This is! This is my power." "Ambition" roared in the air. He used his claws to grab those light spots, but those light spots easily avoided him and floated towards Li Jia.

"I understand too. This is the essence of this world." "Ambition", who had failed to capture the light spots, suddenly came to his senses and imitated Li Jia, using his mind to influence those light spots.

Some of the light spots stopped under his disturbance and slowly flew towards him, but more of them still plunged into Li Jia's body without hesitation.

"What's going on! We should have divided the power of this world equally, why are you so much stronger than me!?"

"Because this is my world, and you are just an ant living in this world." Li Jia said, "Everything here is my memory, experience, and thoughts. Maybe you have witnessed a little bit, but that is not your life after all. If I give up, you may succeed. But..." Li Jia glanced at Serinda who was still struggling on the ground. Her wounded body made him regretful. "I found that I am not qualified to give up."

Ambition gritted his teeth and fought with Li Jia for the light spot, but as Li Jia's thoughts became clearer, the power gap between the two of them in the fight for the light spot became larger and larger. The light spot that he had called back before once again abandoned him and ran towards Li Jia.

Ambition found that as his body gradually dissipated, his power to control the light spot became weaker and weaker. He said anxiously: "Wait, we don't have to fight like this! You can keep me. My determination and my will can help you accomplish many things. I am willing to be your subordinate and help you deal with things you don't want to do. As long as you keep me, it's like... like installing a small program in the system!"

Li Jia shook her head and said, "I don't want to be schizophrenic."

Ambition's body collapsed, and all parts of his body scattered into spots of light, leaving only a fist-sized black mist floating where the heart was. Li Jia reached out to grab it, and the black mist formed a human face, begging: "Leave me, let me help you!"

However, Li Jia no longer wavered. He grabbed the mist and squeezed it with his hand. A scream came from the palm of his hand, and his "ambition" was no longer there.

"Selinda!" Li Jia ran to Serinda, squatted down, and gently supported her back.

"You idiot, bastard, coward. You've done me a terrible job." Serinda's breath was not smooth, and it was difficult for her to speak.

"Yes, sorry. I was distracted for a moment."

“But I hurt you first, so we’re even.” Serinda snorted.

Li Jia looked at Serinda, whose body was not intact at all, and tried to repair her body with his mind, but this was completely useless in his conscious world.

"Take me out of here first. I don't want to be in your head anymore."

"Okay." In one thought, the entire campus in the conscious world collapsed, and they all turned into light spots and entered Li Jia's body. Li Jia and Serinda were covered by diffuse light spots for a while. When everything dissipated, Li Jia and Serinda had returned to Serinda's meditation world.

"What's going on?!" Li Jia screamed when she saw the corridor of the castle. Originally, Serinda's castle world was more like a strangely built house, but now, the whole world was shaking and trembling. Whether it was the walls or the corridors, there were many cracks of different sizes. It seemed that it would collapse at any time.

"I've fought too much. Li Jia, in your consciousness, I've fought against countless distracting thoughts. I'm so tired." Serinda leaned in his arms and said softly.

"Don't worry, if I can save you the first time, I will be able to do it a second time."

Serinda put her hand on his. She shook her head and said, "Don't do that. I don't have the strength to save you a second time. You have returned to your own body, which can provide you with enough nutrients. Look at yourself, what have you become?"

Li Jia then realized with horror that his body had shrunk a lot and was only about the size of a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Go back quickly."

"But here! I feel like it will collapse at any time." Li Jia looked at the world around her anxiously. This castle world seemed to be in the middle of an earthquake. "I want to take you away!"

Li Jia carried Serinda on his back and walked towards the portal according to his memory. He was only as tall as Serinda's chin, and it was very difficult to carry her on his back. Not to mention that there were broken roads and ruins everywhere along the way.

"Li Jia, tell me, if my world collapses, will we be imprisoned in my body together?" Serinda asked on his back.

"Don't say that. I won't."

“That’s truly the fusion of the two.”

"Don't be silly."

"You are a fool, so it is natural that stupid things should be said to you."

"I'm a little timid, but not a fool." Li Jia continued to move forward with difficulty.

"That's what a coward is. In fact, when I was alone in your mind looking for you, I used all the curse words I knew on you. You will never know the feeling of watching the person who loves you turn into a monster and want to kill you again and again."

Li Jia remained silent. He found that he didn't know what to say.

"When I came out of the transmission channel and found that you were looking for death, I wanted to split you in half on the spot. If it weren't for that monster blocking the way, you would have died." Serinda laughed when she said this.

Li Jia also laughed.

"But now I have a very strange feeling, as if all the hatred I had before is gone." Li Jia felt that Serinda's arms around him became stronger.

"Thank you!" he said.

"No, thank you!" she said from behind him.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at where the portal was supposed to be, but there was nothing in sight except a dangerous wall.

"The road... is indeed blocked." Li Jia said dejectedly.

He felt the arms around his neck tightening a little, and a warm stream flowed down from Serinda's face, across his neck, into his collar, and by the time it reached his heart, it was already ice-cold.

But at this moment, a halo of light flashed on the wall. The halo quickly turned into a door. A head emerged from it.

Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two people in such a mess. He smiled and asked, "Where are you going? Do you want a ride?"
