Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 239 Luo Li: Stream of Life~, I'm in~
Luo Li wanted Liu Li to go back to the dimensional fragments and hide, but Liu Li insisted on participating in the battle, and neither of them could persuade the other for the time being.

Luo Li also considered using force to imprison Liu Li in the dimensional fragment, but Liu Li saw through her thoughts first.

"Trying to lock me up? Unless you seal off the dimensional fragment, I'll always find a way to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Li immediately felt a headache coming on. She knew that Liu Li was right; the upcoming battle would require the dimensional fragments to continuously provide energy to the fortress outside.

In order to transmit energy, the spatial rift needs to be open for a long time. In this case, even if Luo Li takes away the part of the plane fragment permissions that Liu Li possesses, she can still escape from the plane fragment through the spatial rift that transmits energy.

"you!"

Knowing she couldn't stop Liuli, Luo Li had no choice but to give all the items she possessed to her, keeping only the Heavenly Punishment Realm - Judgment and the World Tree Sprout that she couldn't give away.

"These are all for you! You must take good care of yourself! If you encounter danger, let Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, and Zhan Lan take the lead. Don't try to be a hero!"

Liuli listened patiently to Luoli's motherly nagging, feeling a warm glow in her heart. To ease Luoli's worries, she assured her, "Don't worry, if we encounter any danger, I'll definitely run to Zhang Jie, Zheng Zha, and Zhan Lan immediately."

The two openly plotted without regard for others, making Zhang Jie, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and others who had been watching the drama unfold and hoping for Luo Li's emotional setback feel like clowns.

"Damn it! Let's call it a day, we're not even going to watch this show!"

Zhang Jie threw the melon in his hand to the ground, got up and was the first to leave. Seeing that there was nothing to see, the others also dispersed, preparing to get a good night's rest and be fully prepared for the upcoming battle.

"(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~" Luo Li gave the middle finger to the back of her teammate who had just wanted to see her make a fool of herself, then pulled Liu Li back into the dimensional fragment, and then...

The night passed in the blink of an eye. When everyone woke up, the City of Oblivion was still in its dark state, where day and night were indistinguishable, without a ray of sunlight.

After the Central Continent Team had a short gathering, Luo Li, carrying everyone's blessings, came alone to Alice and Sephiroth.

"I'm here, we can get started now."

Alice listened without saying a word, then slowly walked to the dark riverbank, clasped her hands in front of her chest, lowered her head, and began to pray.

As the prayer ceremony began, specks of green light appeared on Alice, and the river before her seemed to respond by rippling.
The sight of the life stream, corrupted by Genova, responding aroused Luo Li's suspicions, making her wonder if it might be a trap set for the Central Continent Team.

But as the prayer ceremony progressed, the unpolluted, emerald-green life force emerging from the riverbed dispelled Luo Li's suspicions.

The life force emanating from Alice grew increasingly intense, completely enveloping her figure until she was almost invisible. However, in Luo Li's perception, Alice's aura grew weaker and weaker, just as Alice had said before, that she would dissipate as a result.

As the prayer ceremony drew to a close, Luo Li saw that the life stream that had been corrupted by Genova had completely returned to its emerald green color, and Alice's presence was almost undetectable.

Just as Luo Li was still wondering when to begin, Alice's voice rang in her and Sephiroth's ears. "The passage has been opened. It's time to set off. I wish you all the best."

With a final blessing, Luo Li could no longer sense Alice's presence. Then, the barriers of malice emanating from all directions dissipated, and Genova arrived to stop their actions.

"Hurry, He's coming!" Led by Sephiroth, Lori jumped into the green river. The instant she was submerged in the Stream of Life, she saw the Stream of Life in the distance being rapidly stained black by Jenova!
Before Luo Li could warn Sephiroth, she plunged into the depths of the Stream of Life through the passage opened by Alice. The endless stream of life instantly enveloped her, and records from billions of years of planetary history began to appear in Luo Li's eyes, causing her to lose herself in it in an instant.

Just then, a large hand pierced through the endless stream of records, firmly grasped Luo Li's right arm, and pulled her out.

After losing her memories of the planet, Luo Li shook her head, which was somewhat sluggish from being bombarded with a large amount of information, and finally understood why Alice had opened the passage and specially arranged for Sephiroth to guide her.

"Safiros. Thank you."

"No need to thank us. We don't have time to let you recover. Alice's power won't last long, and Genova could contaminate this place again at any time. We need to speed things up."

Only after Sephiroth reminded her did Luo Li realize that she was in a cave, and that the flowing water beneath her feet was a verdant stream of life.

"I remember we jumped into the Stream of Life, so how did we end up in an underground cave?" Lori, who was following Sephiroth upstream along the Stream of Life, asked the question that had been on her mind.

"This is to facilitate our exploration in the Stream of Life. Alice used her spirituality as a descendant of the Ancients to construct a landscape based on the flow of the Stream of Life."

In this way, we won't end up like you just did, completely lost in the record of the flow of life.

Sephiroth's tone was unusually urgent, giving Luo Li the feeling that something was chasing him. Was it Jenova? Luo Li turned her head to look behind her, then immediately followed Sephiroth.

The two moved quickly through the underground cave constructed by Alice's spirit, one after the other. If it weren't for the surrounding scenery rushing past, Luo Li would have thought that the two were standing still.

After an unknown amount of time, just when Luo Li thought the cave had no end, Sephiroth suddenly stopped ahead, leading Luo Li to believe that they had reached the end of their journey, the source of the Stream of Life.

However, this was not the case. After Luo Li passed Sephiroth, she was met with another fork in the road, where the two streams of life converged once more and eventually flowed in different directions.

Seeing this, Luo Li asked Sephiroth, "Why did you stop?"

"He came, and I have never truly gotten rid of Him. You have to walk the road ahead on your own. Remember, you can only find it by going against the current."

"Speak," Sephiroth said, drawing his longsword Masamune and flowing downstream with the stream of life, back into the darkness from which he had come.

Luo Li watched Sephiroth's figure disappear into the darkness, remembering his advice, and continued to go against the current of life.
