I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

Using this power, Duanmulian regarded the concept of "distance" as a constraint that trapped herself, and easily crossed billions of light years to the other side of the universe.

"So strong..."

Duanmulian, standing on an asteroid in the deep starry sky, couldn't help but marvel at the strength of this supernatural power.

As long as it is used properly and developed well, this power has extremely powerful versatility.

However, this power does not belong to him.

Because of Shion's desire, she awakened her supernatural powers, so the connection between the two became deeper.

He told his incarnation about his current situation.

Although she had no synchronized memories, Honglian found what Duanmulian described incredible.

[Incarnation: Red Lotus]: It is incredible that such a thing could happen in such an ordinary world.

[Interior scene: Duanmulian]: I find it incredible myself as well. I didn’t expect my ability to awaken in this way.

[Incarnation: Red Lotus]: Because of Shion's desire, the dire situation in your inner world has been temporarily alleviated, but her desire cannot save you.

[Interior scene: Duan Mu Lian]: I know, so my feelings towards her are very complicated.

[Incarnation·Red Lotus]: Are you in love?

[Interior Scene·Duan Mu Lian]: I don’t know…but I am sure I have a crush on her, and I don’t know how to treat her.

[Incarnation·Red Lotus]: Is that so... Then how do you feel about this awakened power?

[Interior Scene·Duanmulian]: I like it very much, but this power cannot give me the freedom I want. I am sure that I have a longing for freedom, but I am not simply craving for freedom.

The wings of a caged bird could not take Duanmulian to the place where he felt free in his heart.

What he longed for was not just simple freedom and the end of his own destiny and obsession.

and---

"Boom!"

His and her hearts were beating together, and Duanmulian couldn't help but feel a strange emotion rising in her heart.

Because through Shion's emotions and her desires, he saw the truth that the girl longed for more.

The concept of freedom is not simple, just as he said at the beginning - if the heart is trapped, the world is a cage; if the heart is at peace, a small room with low tiles can be a paradise on earth.

The place where Shiyin feels at peace is not just outside the western-style house.

There are also people around her who make her feel at ease, such as her sister Erica, and... Duan Mulian.

Shiyin felt at ease when she went out with her sister, and there was another kind of peace of mind when she was with Duanmulian.

Therefore, Duanmu Lian is actually an important part of the freedom that Shiyin desires.

[Incarnation·Red Lotus]: That girl made you see the direction of your heart's desire, just like you are an important part of her desire. I guess... our desire should also include her, after all, hearts are mixed together.

[Interior Scene: Duan Mulian]: So...

[Incarnation·Red Lotus]: First look at the past clearly, face your past squarely, and figure out what is behind you. Then your heart will probably be able to move forward with confidence. No, you will be able to find a reason to move forward no matter what!

Seeing these words, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but recall what Shiyin had said to her frankly.

'I want to prove that Erica's tenderness towards me is valuable and meaningful.'

He also wants to prove that the countless efforts we make have value and meaning, but he doesn't just want to prove it.

So, look back at the footprints you left behind.

Duanmulian made up her mind, and then contacted herself in the God's Throne World through the chat group, asking him to send her something.

Five minutes later, a large instrument with a peculiar shape appeared in front of Duanmulian.

He raised his hand and activated the instrument.

In an instant, a force of interference from higher dimensions spread throughout the universe at a speed that even the speed of light could not reach.

In the higher-dimensional space, it seems as if a giant hand is manipulating and folding the entire universe.

The universe stopped expanding and collapsing, and was solidified and compressed into a larger area.

"Kakakaka!!!!"

When Duanmulian finished operating the instrument, the entire instrument suddenly disintegrated and separated, and directly sank into various parts of the universe.

Then, the vision in front of his eyes began to stretch into straight lines, making him escape from this universe.

..........

The interior view of the chat group space.

Duanmulian came to the eternal world holding a cosmic marble in one hand.

The marble in the palm of your hand is the universe where Shiyin exists.

He made the entire universe into a marble universe and brought it back.

"Lian Jun?"

In the eternal robbery, a voice exactly the same as Erica's was suddenly heard. Duanmu Lian turned his head and saw Yuko Amemiya looking at him with a gentle smile on her face.

This sound made him relax unconsciously.

At the same time, when I heard Yuko's voice, I couldn't help but think of Erica.

Both of them are gentle and amiable women.

"Yuuko, why are you here?"

Seeing the girl in front of him, Duan Mu Lian couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile on her face, and then asked with a curious tone.

You have to know that this is not the memory universe where Yuko Amemiya is.

"Come out and relax."

Yuko Amamiya trotted over to Duan Mulian, looked him up and down with a smile, and suddenly said something that made Duan Mulian's eyes twitch:

"Lian Jun looks like he's been through a lot. With that look in his eyes... is it possible that he has some emotional problems?"

"......"

"Ah, they actually guessed it right!?"

Although she used a surprised tone, there was no surprise in Yuko Amamiya's eyes. Instead, there was an expression of "as expected".

You have to know that she is a master of emotions recognized by most people in Naraka: Bladepoint.

She once guided other lovers out of confusion and taught them to cherish each other. Naturally, she also guided and taught Duanmulian in emotional matters.

Now in her eyes, Yuko Amamiya could feel the strong and confused atmosphere of Duanmu Lian just by looking at her.

"Yuuko, you're really perceptive."

Duan Mulian smiled bitterly and shook her head, with an expression that said she couldn't hide it from you.

Yuko Amemiya proudly puffed out her chest and slightly raised her head, looking very happy with Duan Mulian's praise.

"I have a lot of experience, including emotional experience."

"After all, as I get older, I naturally have more experience..."

"Hey!"

Yuko Amamiya suddenly raised her foot and stepped on Duanmu Lian, forcibly interrupting his words. Her fair face puffed up and she said angrily, "That's a forbidden sentence, Lianjun, and don't try to divert attention or the topic. Sasa~~~ Hurry up and share your love experience with big sister!!!"

Duanmu Lian, who was stepped on, sighed helplessly. After hesitating for a while, she told Amemiya Yuko about her own affairs.

He told Yuko Amemiya everything that happened in his ordinary world.

Five minutes later, after listening to his experience, Yuko Amamiya's expression suddenly became serious and solemn, and an indescribable powerful aura and pressure spread around her.

She looked at the marble universe in Duanmulian's palm with a deep gaze.

Then——

"Lianjun! Have you rejected that child's affection?"

Yuko Amemiya looked at Duanmulian in front of her and asked this question in a gentle and serious tone.

Duan Mulian shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"No."

"The one who went too far was you."

Yuko Amamiya frowned slightly upon hearing this, then sighed, with helplessness in her tone, and said softly: "You opened that child's heart. Now if you don't close it or pull her out, she won't feel good, and you won't feel good either."

Obviously, in Yuko Amemiya's view, a small part of the problem can be solved by just being a little more proactive, but Duanmulian's heart and character are not capable of doing that.

It is unlikely to make him fall in love with someone on his own initiative without some unexpected things as a bond.

Even Yuko Amamiya herself was able to succeed because of the help of a certain witch.

Duanmu Lian also has tenderness in her heart, but it needs to be dug out. Every woman in Eternal Tribulation has a different way of digging it out.

"I almost hurt her. If I continued..."

"You don't want to hurt a girl. This doesn't fit your character. You wouldn't have cared about it before!"

The words that Yuko Amemiya suddenly said loudly made Duanmulian feel deafening.

She was reminding him that you have changed.

Only now did he realize how inconsistent the reasons he gave were with his own cold, cruel and nihilistic character.

Are you afraid that a girl will get hurt?

If you don't care at all, why would you take pictures of her to see if she's hurt?!

".....Yuuko...what should I do?"

Duanmulian clenched the marble universe in her hand, not knowing what to do.

He was going to enter the reincarnation now, but to be honest he didn't know what to do with Shion.

"Leave the marbles behind. I'll prepare everything else for you. Take Yuko with you to say goodbye. If you can't get over that hurdle, you'll be close to death."

Suddenly, a familiar and cold voice was heard. It was the memory Ren wearing glasses, who was also Yuko Amamiya's husband.

He came up to Duanmulian and grabbed the marble from her palm.

Then he raised his hand and gently pushed Yuko Amemiya, and amid the girl's surprised cry, he turned into a stream of light and entered Duanmulian's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

Looking at herself in front of her, Duanmulian took a deep breath and stepped into the marble universe.

Memory Lian played with the marbles in her hand for a while, then sighed to herself and said:

"'I'm really an idiot. My heart and soul are already mixed up. How could I possibly abandon that girl? Don't you think so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several memory lotus figures with female companions suddenly appeared here with smiles on their faces.

Everyone looked at the marble universe with different smiles in their eyes.

"It's really stupid. The reason for moving forward is obviously not that complicated, but as a man, you actually let the girl take the initiative."

Standing next to a memory Lian who was wearing what looked like a school uniform, a woman with long apricot hair, a pair of beautiful brown eyes, a cyan headband on her head, and a black dress, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

"ah?"

The doll-like girl with silver hair, white skin and wine-red eyes let out a cute cry, then looked blankly at the memory Lian beside her, wondering, "Lian isn't very passive."

“Ahem, Julie, I’m from the front group. My inner emptiness and mental condition haven’t been so serious because of the accumulation of reincarnations.” The memory Lian who was standing next to the silver-haired girl laughed awkwardly.

Because of constant reincarnation, although the split soul has no memory, traces will inevitably be left behind.

Therefore, the later Duanmu Lian was born, the worse her inner and mental state was. She was very extreme and nihilistic.

In this regard, Darien deeply realized how stupid this guy Duanmulian was.

She stretched out her hand unhappily and pinched the soft flesh on the waist of the demon god Lian beside her, muttering:

"This guy was also very harsh on me at the beginning."

"Uh... Darien, although I was wrong, you can't blame me entirely. After all, I was one of the last group."

Demon God Lian did not dare to resist the sanctions imposed by his wife. After all, he was not gentle at all at the beginning.

As the predecessor of the present Duanmu Lian, he understands Duanmu Lian's inner state very well.

The aftereffects accumulated from countless reincarnations are really heavy. Coupled with the fact that the other party has to take an extreme path, the journey becomes even more difficult and dangerous.
