Just like in school, the difficulty of the subjects you study increases exponentially as you progress to higher education. When a person comes into contact with something beyond their ability, it is natural to feel a little apprehensive and even a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Bai Ze only remembered when Linglong pointed out this. He suddenly perked up, and a confident smile unconsciously appeared on his face: "Scared? I was the first existence in the universe with the fastest evolution skill, and on the first day that the soul record landed in the world, I defeated a first-order 30-level defensive evolutionary beast, and although I was only a level 15 unranked existence, I was probably the only one who killed a first-order beast that was about to evolve to a second-order beast in one blow...... It's only been a little over a month, and I've accomplished so many amazing feats, what's there to be afraid of? By the time I reach your level, I'll probably be strong enough to kick your ass! ”

My journey has only just begun, but so much has already been accomplished...... I'm going to achieve more and be strong enough to take it all into my own hands! Bai Ze's soul burned hot, and his spirit reached an unprecedented height.

He definitely didn't want the soul record to ruin his life again.

He absolutely did not want his loved ones to face any danger again.

Therefore, Bai Ze will become strong enough that no one will be able to tell him what is right and what is wrong. Strong enough to hold your own destiny firmly and not put it in someone else's hands.

"Huh...... That's the kind of confidence you should have. Linglong nodded in satisfaction. You don't know it yet, but you're much more powerful than you think. It's just that it's too early for you to realize it. Slowly, you will understand a lot of things, and everything is not as difficult as you think. You see, even one of the most powerful pieces of the firmament seems to be in a hurry to meet you. ”

"The strongest? Sirius? Bai Ze suddenly pricked up his ears.

"The fragment that contains part of the will of the Sky Wolf is undoubtedly one of the most powerful beings in the entire starry sky." Linglong nodded, with a serious expression, and even a little respect: "The Sirius is not only the brightest constellation that can be seen on Earth, but even in the darkest corners of the universe. Although it is not necessarily the strongest, there is no doubt that it is at least several times more powerful than the will of Scati that I have. ”

Bai Ze's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Linglong's every word will only make his expectations higher and higher, and also make him more anxious to get his own pieces of the sky.

Although Bai Ze had only seen a fragment of the sky so far, and it was estimated that he would only be able to look at it for a long time, the fragment containing the will of the ice and snow goddess Scati was already so terrifying...... How strong should the fragment containing the will of the Celestial Wolf be?

Even if it is not several times stronger than Linglong said, even if it is a little stronger, Bai Ze will cheer to the sky...... Damn, as long as it's as powerful as the pieces of Linglong, Bai Ze won't be able to sleep for a few nights with joy!

"You should hurry, though." Linglong's brows furrowed, and there was a rare worried expression on her face. "The Sky Wolf's Celestial Fragments, it will undoubtedly take a huge amount of power to reach a world that is not affected by soul records, just like the Earth back then, if you don't hurry up, the will left by the Sky Wolf may be gone forever."

"This ...... It's not good......" Bai Ze also frowned.

Although the Celestial Wolf Will Celestial Wolf Fragment had not yet reached his hands, Bai Ze had already regarded it as his own property in his heart, and he was naturally a little worried when he heard this.

Moreover, the Celestial Fragment containing part of the Celestial Wolf's will was so eagerly looking for him, so this quick fragment was probably the most suitable for him.

Although Linglong could see the worry in Bai Ze's eyes, and also saw that his mood was obviously much lower, it was the first time since they met that she didn't say words of encouragement to him.

In the past month, no matter how the environment has changed, no matter how dark Bai Ze's road ahead is, she has always guided him like a lighthouse, smiling and illuminating his every step.

But even Linglong knows very little or nothing about the Fragments of the Firmament. The only thing she knew was what she knew after joining the Demon Army, and even then, she didn't know much about it except for basic information.

"The Fragments of the Sky use soul power as a source of energy." Linglong analyzed quietly, looking at Bai Ze intently, making sure he understood every word he said. "The problem is, this kind of soul power needs a living being to provide it, after all, the Fragment of the Sky is the fragment of the stars left behind by the Supreme Being who once dominated all living beings, you know what I mean, right?"

Bai Ze nodded and said in a deep voice: "Xingchen is basically the wreckage left by an existence like the ice and snow goddess Scati, so that the universe will never forget her existence. As for the Fragments of the Firmament, they are part of the will left behind by such people...... This means that the Firmament Fragment is consuming the remaining soul power within. ”

Linglong nodded, her eyes sparkling. "The soul power left by the ice goddess Scati in the Firmament Fragment is very powerful, even the strongest one, after hundreds of thousands of years, millions or even billions of years, the Celestial Fragment should be able to cope with the slow loss of soul power."

"Time and space rift......" Bai Ze's eyes narrowed, and a trace of wisdom flashed in his eyes.

Linglong smiled slightly and nodded, "It seems that you have understood." When a fragment of the sky is on the verge of disappearing and losing its power due to the depletion of the soul power stored in it, the stars will open the space-time rift, attracting countless people to come. Omnipotent, trying to obtain a new source of soul power. ”

Now even if there is no Linglong to continue to explain, Bai Ze has a general understanding of the whole process.

"So you just said that the space-time rift that the constellations open, each constellation will only open once, isn't it?" Bai Ze sighed depressedly.

Linglong nodded again and said, "Exactly." Because that rift is the last effort to obtain the soul power provided by the holder, if not a single life can pass the trial and be recognized by the Pieces of the Firmament, then the Nakshatra will be sealed forever. Together with the fragments of the sky that have exhausted their soul power inside. ”

Basically, the Pieces of the Sky require a Soul Evolver to continue to retain the will. The bearer of the Firmament Shard, in exchange for continuous soul power nourishment, will gain a great increase in power, and will be able to use part of the power left by the existence in the form of will.

Win-win...... However, after Bai Ze understood all this, he became more and more worried.

"The constellation where the Sirius is located has probably used an astronomical amount of soul power to find the best candidate, that is, you, and there are many more soul powers trying to contact you." Linglong calmly analyzed, patted her red lips lightly with the tip of her index finger, and then continued.

"Even if it is one of the most powerful pieces of the firmament, making such a move will undoubtedly greatly shorten the lifespan. There may be a lot of time in comparison. But I think you'd better hurry. Seize every opportunity to level up, or Sirius' will threatens to be gone forever. ”

Bai Ze was silent. He's basically done what he can, and he really doesn't know what else he can do to get stronger faster.

In the space of more than a month, he went from nothing to an existence that was about to reach level 50 and established his own faction. This progress can be described as appalling no matter how you look at it!

He even endured all kinds of anxieties and worries day and night, trying to resist the constant annoyance that he had to lead thousands of survivors; It's all about getting the smallest overall boost and coming out stronger in the long run.

He gets very little sleep.

However, Bai Ze is not a person who likes to complain or make excuses. So, he looked up at the brightest star in the sky and said firmly, "Okay, I'll figure it out." ”

No but, no hesitation, no procrastination. Linglong looked at him with a smug smile and nodded: "That's how men should be, no wonder that little woman named Wu Yijun likes you so much." ”

Bai Ze rolled his eyes and didn't discuss these inconsequential matters for the time being. So, he began to carefully digest all the new knowledge he had just acquired, and also analyzed in detail the new knowledge he had just learned about Linglong.

As he immersed himself in his thoughts, Linglong remained silent and continued to look up at the starry sky in the distance. Her eyes contained mixed emotions, and her slightly hot red lips let out a faint sigh.

She also needed time to think about a lot of things that were slowly changing.

……

The night passed quite peacefully.

Bai Ze didn't close his eyes all night, and even when he was thinking about countless things in his mind, he didn't forget his main purpose here. To protect the safety of Shangguan Bingxue, Shangguan Bingxue will remain in a coma for the next 24 hours.

The mana in Shangguan Bingxue's body was constantly trembling violently, and her soul began to slowly absorb the lightning-like energy in the Thunder Light Fruit. When that lightning-like energy was completely digested and absorbed by the mana, she could finally awaken and gain the Action Skill Order 2 Lightning Movement as a reward without taking up valuable Action Skill slots.

Although the moon has set and the sun has risen, there are still several hours before Shangguan Bingxue opens his eyes again. After all, she had only eaten the Thunder Light Fruit at dusk the day before.

Therefore, until late in the afternoon, Bai Ze had to stay by her side all the time, just in case of an accident.

The current Shangguan Bingxue is so weak that even the weakest survivor can shoot him in the head. Because she doesn't have a passive skill bronze skin that can protect herself against small and medium-caliber bullets like Bai Ze.

If something happens to her during this time, not only will she lose her trust in Bai Ze, but Bai Ze will most likely lose this powerful and valuable ally.

In order to prevent accidents, Bai Ze stayed in Shangguan Bingxue's room for a whole day.

A maid wanted to enter the house, but Bai Ze drove him out directly. Soon, Xiaofeng walked in, carrying the hot food prepared for him.

Xiang Feng lingered beside Bai Ze for a while before leaving the room.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, about 24 hours had passed since Bai Ze protected her in Shangguan Bingxue's room.

Just when he was thinking about when she would wake up, Bai Ze felt a slight mana fluctuation in the room, his muscles tensed instantly, and he stood up suddenly.

However, in the next second, he relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The eyelids dotted with slender eyelashes, contrasting with the silver hair of the beautiful woman lying on the bed, trembled gently for a moment, and finally began to open slowly.

Her blue eyes were unfocused and her body was hot, making her feel very uncomfortable. Before Shangguan Bingxue could recall what had happened, a message flashed through the retina.

[Congratulations! You've learned the 2nd Action Skill Level 5 Lightning Move! 】

Shangguan Bingxue read the skill description, understood its function, closed his eyes again, and sighed in his heart.

In this way, in just one day, she gained an incomparably powerful skill by eating a strange fruit that changed according to the world's mana. Even her strongest skill, the Ice Crafting Technique, was only a first-order fifth-level skill at the moment, but it was already so powerful. Shangguan Bingxue couldn't imagine the power of this lightning movement skill.

Even Cai Jingyi, who was much weaker than her, was able to injure the primeval second-order giant bear thanks to the ability of this fruit. That alone can imagine how scary the skill would be if it was used in the right way at the right time.

Shangguan Bingxue realized that the gift Bai Ze gave her was too precious.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Bai Ze standing by the window about three or four meters away from the bed.

Bai Ze was still wearing black armor, and there was a dent mark on the sofa, indicating that there were people sitting not long ago. But more importantly, she realized that to leave a mark that hadn't completely disappeared, it would take a person to sit in the same position for hours on end.

"You've always been here?" Shangguan Bingxue asked calmly. Even she didn't notice that when she spoke this time, her tone was not as cold as usual.

Bai Ze didn't look at her. Instead, he looked at the sunset through the window, and said unhurriedly: "Since you trust me so much and entrust me with your life, there is only so much I can do...... Since you're awake, I'll go first. ”

Without waiting for an answer, he went straight to the door.
