"Let me see... why is it so expensive!?"

There are several ways to travel through time in her system, but even the cheapest random travel method requires 1000 points.

"Where am I supposed to get so many points? This system is such a rip-off! Why do I have to use treasures to exchange for points? It would be so much better if I could exchange them using ores or something."

Xu Tianyun scratched her head and turned to look at the enormous crystal pillar formed by all of humanity.

"I wonder if this thing can be exchanged. It should be considered a treasure."

As she spoke, she approached the crystal, placed her hand on it, and summoned the system.

System: This item has no practical value and cannot be exchanged.

"Fuck you!"

Upon seeing the system's evaluation, Xu Tianyun blurted out.

However, this also dissuaded her from using this seemingly impressive pillar. Since the system said that this thing had no practical application value, it must be true.

"What should I do now?"

Xu Tianyun fell backward to the ground.

"Extreme pain!"

Then she suddenly noticed a problem—she wasn't wearing any clothes at all.

"I need to take care of the clothes I'm wearing."

Xu Tianyun got up from the ground, where she had just been lying, which had been charred black.

"Before we can deal with the clothes, it seems we need to solve the problem of the outer layer of flames first."

She tried to retract the flames, and they obediently followed her skin back into her body.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and Xu Tianyun couldn't help but shiver.

"I need to find some clothes; I remember there are clothing stores on this island."

Actually, there's no need to think too much about clothes. Although everyone in the world has turned into water and disappeared, the traces of human civilization remain. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all the resources in the world now belong to Xu Tianyun.

Of course, when Xu Tianyun returned to the small town and casually browsed for clothes she liked in a shop, she also thought about this problem. At first, she was inexplicably excited, but then the thought of the problem came to her mind: it was fine for a short time, but what if it went on for a long time?

"No matter what, the world is so big, I refuse to believe there isn't something of value here."

So, Xu Tianyun embarked on a global search for things that could be exchanged for points.

Seriously, she still found it.

She discovered that technology could indeed be exchanged for points, but the requirements for exchange were extremely strict. Only technologies that could not be found in the system could be exchanged. Whether there was a superior alternative was not important; the most important thing was that there had to be none.

Therefore, Xu Tianyun completely looted GHQ's database and obtained several hundred points.

"That's fucking shady!"

After converting the last technology exchange item in the database into points, Xu Tianyun sighed as she looked at the 800 points she had.

There are indeed many technologies related to the void, but the points that can be exchanged for each technology are very few. She didn't know why, and the system wouldn't explain it to her; she had to figure it all out herself.

"I still have 200 points. If I work a little harder, I should be able to succeed. And maybe I'll even get a lot of extra points, which will be for a higher-level teleportation."

At this moment, Xu Tianyun couldn't help but start fantasizing about which world she would go to to enjoy happiness.

However, she didn't know that this was just the beginning of a nightmare.

In the time that followed, Xu Tianyun visited every base and research institute she could find in every country around the world.

However, something despairing happened: very few of the technologies possessed by other countries could be exchanged for points. It seemed that apart from the technology related to the Void Virus, none of the other technologies could be exchanged for points.

"Why? Why did this happen?"

After visiting the last country with a name in August, Xu Tianyun raised this question.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe I'll be trapped in this world! There must be something I can exchange for points!"

Five years had passed since she first set out. In those five years, she learned to drive, sail, fly airplanes, and even weapons of war like tanks. She had played with quite a few of them.

In these five years, nature has also begun to exert its influence, and human civilization has begun to be obscured. For example, small animals have taken over human cities, and flowers and plants have begun to grow in various parts of the city.

For five years, Xu Tianyun lived a very comfortable life. Aside from having no one to talk to, she could do whatever she wanted, and she didn't have to worry about external threats. She discovered that her body seemed to be different from that of ordinary humans. In those five years, she never fell ill even once.

Similarly, animals in the outside world pose no threat to her. In fact, all the animals in the world are food to her, so she doesn't have to worry about going hungry at all.

At first, things were alright, but as time went by, loneliness gradually filled her heart. There was no one to talk to. To relieve this depression, she got a dog, which at least kept her from being too lonely.

However, she still wanted to leave this deserted world, but looking at the system, where she was short of dozens of exchange points, made her extremely anxious.

"What else can be exchanged? Is there nothing else besides technology?"

In fact, over the past five years, Xu Tianyun tried many things, but none of them worked. This broken system seemed to have decided that only things related to the void could be exchanged.

Gradually, Xu Tianyun traveled all over the world, frantically searching for things that could be converted into points.

Ten years have passed, and during a trip, her old dog, who had been with her for over a decade, finally met its end.

Seeing that her old dog, who had been with her since it was a puppy, had lived its entire life, and that she still hadn't found a way to leave, Xu Tianyun finally accepted the reality that she couldn't leave.

During this period, there were very few usable creations left by humankind on Earth. Although Xu Tianyun could exchange for corresponding technological information, it would cost points to do so, and Xu Tianying dared not waste a single point.

But now she has given up.

Standing before the grave of her lifelong companion, Xu Tianyun murmured to herself:

"Perhaps I should find a quiet place to spend the rest of my life."

In the end, Xu Tianyun returned to the big island.

In 15 years, the island has completely changed, becoming a paradise for animals and plants, with human traces almost completely covered.

After clearing out one of the large houses, Xu Tianyun made it her place of residence.

Afterwards, she returned to the mountain where the Void Crystal Pillar was located.

Looking at the Void Crystal Pillar that hadn't changed in 15 years, Xu Tianyun couldn't help but feel a little envious of the human souls sleeping in the void.

She vividly remembered what Abigail had said before she left: that in this world, everyone's soul was sealed within this crystal pillar, and that their consciousness was living happily in a virtual world.

At first, she despised this way of achieving happiness, but now she is somewhat envious of the people here.

After that, Xu Tianyun settled down.

In the days that followed, Xu Tianyun lived each day in a daze. She kept many pets, cats, dogs, birds, and basically everything that could be kept as a pet.

She did this to keep herself occupied, but even with a large group of pets, the energy she expended was still not enough to make her completely forget her loneliness.

So she started looking for all sorts of things to do.

But as time went on, she became increasingly aware of the peculiarity of her body.

Her pets have died one after another, but her body shows no signs of aging.

"Am I destined to live an endless, lonely life in this world?"

This was the question that Xu Tianyun, who had lived alone in this world for 30 years, was asking. At the same time, from this moment on, Xu Tianyun began to harbor resentment towards Abigail for giving her such a body.

In fact, Xu Tianyun's original idea was to grow old and die alone, which would only last for a few decades. However, the current situation made her feel a deep fear from the bottom of her heart.

As for her current predicament, is there really no solution? Actually, there is: wait for the next transmigrator to appear. However, the probability of a transmigrator coming to this world and being encountered by her is extremely low, as anyone can guess.

However, after having this idea, Xu Tianyun decided to carry out a plan. She could not tolerate any opportunity to escape this desolate place disappearing.

So, for the first time, she used all the points she had saved up and spent a lot of them to build a system.

She named it the Sky Eye System.

The core of this system is an artificial intelligence that she redeemed, but her points could only buy a simple, idiotic AI that could carry out her commands. Her objective for this AI was to monitor the globe via satellite, constantly, and report back to her immediately upon finding any trace of humanity.

In the time that followed, she visited bases around the world again, using this artificial intelligence to access all the satellites that were still in operation in the sky, bringing them all under its control.

After completing this task, she returned to the Big Island once again to await the possible miracle.

However, fate did not favor her. As the days passed, Xu Tianyun felt increasingly miserable. Along with the growing pains, her hatred for Abigail also intensified.

Finally, Xu Tianyun couldn't remember the exact time, but she felt that it must have been 50 years.

Unable to endure the pain any longer, Xu Tianyun made a decision: she would merge into the Void Crystal. Even if she lost all her freedom and could only live in illusory happiness, it would be better than continuing to be lonely like this.

During this period, Xu Tianyun studied the Void Crystal and extracted the Void Virus from it.

Arriving in front of the Void Crystal Pillar, Xu Tianyun smiled as he looked at the towering pillar that seemed to reach into the clouds.

She then raised the Void Virus in her hand and injected it directly into her heart.

As the Void Virus entered her body, Void Crystals began to appear on her body, and the crystals expanded from the inside out. In this way, a crystal image of a young girl appeared here with a smile.

Xu Tianyun thought this was the end—either death or entering into a false sense of happiness. However, sometimes fate plays tricks on people.

To Xu Tianyun's surprise, for some unknown reason, the flame within her body began to melt the void crystals. Not only her, but also the void crystal pillars beside her were within the melting range.

Time passed, whether it was a hundred years or a thousand years, but at some point, Xu Tianyun regained her consciousness.

Just like waking up from a nap, she opened her eyes, but the surroundings had completely changed. However, Xu Tianyun felt no joy at being awakened again.

She stared blankly at the land that had crystallized, then stretched out her hand and plunged it directly into her heart without hesitation.

However, this action did not kill her; dark purple void crystals appeared at her wounds.

And soon, the crystals shattered, and her heart and the external wounds returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

What is meant by "living a life worse than death"? This is it.

To be born is painful, and to die is powerless.

In the days that followed, Xu Tianyun tried countless methods to kill herself: burning, drowning, jumping off a cliff, sinking into the sea...

Xu Tianyun tried every possible method, even attempting to enter the nuclear reactor directly. But even so, even if she were reduced to fragments and ashes, she would still be reborn in the void crystal.

In the end, she gave up. The only thing Xu Tianyun did in the rest of her time was to find the motivation to keep living. Hatred was one of them. Since she could not die, she would use this infinite time to find a way to leave.

Chapter 245 The Yog Bubble Finally Has a Role to Play

"Is it this memory again? I really don't want to recall it."

In a room that looked like crystal, Tianhuo opened his eyes.

After that, she began to study. She studied a lot, whether it was literature, economics, or technology; anything that could even slightly stimulate her mind, she would pursue it relentlessly. But even so, without realizing it, she felt that her mind was no longer normal, but she didn't care. If she really went mad, perhaps it would be a kind of happiness.
