The moment he opened his eyes, he saw before him the Sword of Soul Destruction come to an abrupt halt, and even that stone hand covered with cracks.

Like an iron grip, it clutched the impending doom from the sky, unwavering.

It clutched the impending doom from the sky.

Ji Jue!

Once again, he raised the absolute wall, standing in front of Wen Sheng.

And those eyes, seemingly smiling yet not, were watching her.

At this moment, just like that moment before, but yet not as good as that moment!

Wen Wen could almost imagine how lively it would be when this scene was relayed back to the Beishan Group... Maybe this time, the company would die a lot, huh?

Why do you always appear when I'm most eager to die?

However, all those complaints and accusations vanished without a trace upon seeing that smiling face, leaving only a sigh that seemed to be a relief: "Slept for a long time, Ji Jue."

"Yes, almost couldn't wake up, sorry."

Ji Jue wiped away the mud and dust on her face, his fingers sizzling and rapidly decaying under the uncontrolled Dragon Fire, turning into ashes.

It was as if a statue had been shattered to pieces.

Minerva's Matrix was on the verge of collapse, the soul shattered, the body broken, the destructive Dragon Fire spilled out like blood, continuously spreading, rapidly engulfing that familiar face until it was unrecognizable.

Such brutal devastation.

No matter how it's wiped away, the original traces couldn't be found.

The Mutated was rooted, unshakable.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

Wen Wen stifled the bitterness in her heart, self-mockingly sighed, "This is my true appearance. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone..."

"Huh?"

Ji Jue fell into a strange silence, wanting to speak but stopping short.

When Wen Wen squinted her eyes and looked closely, only then did she finally detect a trace of guilt and embarrassment on that familiar face.

"Well, actually, ahem."

Ji Jue lowered his head, unable to hold back his cough: "I had noticed it for a long time... Uh, I just didn't have the courage to say it."

"Huh?"

Wen Wen was stunned, unable to comprehend.

"After all, you see... It took so much effort to administer the drug, it's not like I can just do nothing, right?"

Ji Jue's eyes still wandered, boldly asserting: "But don't worry, while not a single thing that needed to be done was left undone, I didn't do a single thing that didn't need to be—poof!"

Before he could finish, his vision went dark.

Bam!

Wen Wen couldn't hold back any longer, using all her remaining strength to throw a punch at that close face—what needed to be done and what didn't? You should clarify one by one!

Completely uncontrollable!

She wanted to grab that dog's mouth, then slap it left and right, to retrieve the feelings she just fed to the dog out of his mouth again.

Immediately, however, she heard his voice.

"But don't worry, Sister Wen, I don't find it scary, nor is there any disappointment." Ji Jue looked at her earnestly, with no resistance or disgust, his smile unchanged: "If anything, I'd say you're more beautiful now than ever."

"...You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you?"

Wen Wen seemed to smile, shaking her head in regret: "I'll just take it as you comforting me."

Ji Jue was silent.

A helpless sigh, it seemed.

Then, without a second thought, he leaned down, and before she could react, that familiar face was already close at hand.

Before she could speak to change the topic, he blocked her lips.

Sudden!

Her eyes blinked intensely, opened wide, filled with confusion and incomprehension, instinctively wanting to glare, but everything before her was a blur.

In the diffusion of illusionary light, nothing was clear anymore, only those eyes close at hand, looking at her, making her instinctively panic, wanting to dodge, only to find there was no escape.

She had already fallen into a daze, her heart beyond control.

A sound of shattering came from Ji Jue's body, as the stone color on Wen Wen's body rapidly faded away, an even more intense petrification spread across Ji Jue's body!

Unreservedly, it swallowed all the uncontrollable Dragon Fire, propping up the soul on the brink of collapse once again, smoothing over all the scars, filling in all the cracks.

Emulating the Mutated Extraction of the Sky Rail System, using his own authority, he recreated the power of All-Domain Circulation Control, transferring all the negative effects onto his own soul through the exchange between spiritual qualities!

Thus, the exchange was completed.

At this moment, the tangible body turned to ash in the flames, but the soul reemerged from the ashes, bathed in the destructive fire of the Ruins, his smile unchanged, as if feeling no pain.

Admiring her confused expression.

"Now, at least, it proves I wasn't lying, right?"

The ethereal fingertip lifted, brushing across her cheek, causing the scorched charcoal to fall off, cracks to mend, and flesh to regenerate.

Restoring everything to its original state.

With the integration of streaming light, the ephemeral soul found refuge in her body, continuously injecting new strength, this time, the ravaging fire of the Ruins could no longer harm her in the slightest.

In the burning flames, that youthful face gradually changed, rapidly matured, returning to its original form, and even beyond...

Deep within the soul, the essence of the Ruins that was locked away layer by layer was once again released!

Yet under the dual suppression and control of two souls, that violent power exhibited a new transformation, seamlessly integrating into her being, requiring no further consumption of consciousness and soul to control, but circulating obediently, as if it was born that way.
