461: Chapter 461 The Eye of the Future

Tears slipped from Lilian's eyes, carrying a sense of relief!

The River of Time slowly converged, finally flowing entirely into Lilian's body.

The golden light around her reached its peak, then suddenly receded.

When the light completely vanished, Lilian slowly descended to the ground.

Just then, the System's notification sound rang in Chen Yi's mind.

[Ding! Lilian's favorability +1 point!]

[Current favorability: 100 points!]

[Ding! Lilian's favorability has reached 100 points. Congratulations, Host, for perfectly capturing the heart of the Spirit Beast Girl!]

[Reward: Enhancement Points +300!]

[Reward: special skill — Future Eye!]

[Future Eye is the exclusive skill of the Spirit Beast Baize; the Host cannot use it!]

"It's done!"

Chen Yi let out a heavy sigh of relief, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

This time coming to Eagle Country, he actually had dual objectives.

First, to help Lilian retrieve her complete power;

Second, to see if he could take this opportunity to bring Lilian's favorability to the maximum score.

Now, both goals had been achieved to Perfection; it was simply delightful!

Lilian opened her eyes; that pair of eyes was already completely different from before.

No longer filled with the confusion of occasionally seeing fragments of the future, but a clarity of being constantly connected to the River of Time.

She looked at Chen Yi, revealing an unprecedented smile full of confidence and tenderness.

"Chen Yi!"

"How do you feel?"

"I'm complete! I have finally... become my complete self."

Lilian smiled faintly, "Future Eye, is it? Let me see exactly what the future is like!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her pupils suddenly turned completely gray-white, with countless images rapidly flowing within them.

Three seconds later, her pupils returned to normal.

Lilian's expression became serious.

"Chen Yi, I see what ZERO wants to do."

"What does he want to do?"

"Just as we initially speculated, he wants his true body to descend into this world."

Lilian pointed to the surrounding lavender space-time energy barrier, "And these energy layers are actually the cornerstones of the arrival Formation he set up. It's not just here; there are a total of five such base points around the world, which together form a huge arrival ritual Formation!"

Chen Yi was startled: "Doesn't that mean that as long as we destroy these base points, we can stop him from descending?"

Upon hearing this, Lilian's pupils turned gray-white again.

It seemed she could determine future scenes based on a certain choice node.

Ten seconds later, she shook her head, and her pupils returned to normal.

"No! These five array eye cornerstones are interconnected; moving one affects the whole! With our current strength, it would take at least half a day to destroy one, and once ZERO notices we are destroying an array eye, he will immediately react—"

"React? Are you trying to say—"

"Launching an all-out attack in advance!"

Lilian explained, "He will abandon his safe arrival plan and use his existing forces to launch a total offensive against Dragon Country! In that future branch, Dragon Country's casualties... would be extremely heavy!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi fell silent.

He could imagine that scene.

ZERO controlled all national forces outside of Dragon Country. If he attacked with full force, even with myself and The girls, it would be very difficult to protect all the ordinary people.

"The best method—"

Lilian smiled and said, "Is still to follow the original plan: let you have a final showdown with ZERO's true body! In that future branch... we won."

"You saw it?"

"I saw many future branches... In most of them, as long as you can follow your own ideas, trust your own judgment, and trust all of us, we will inevitably win in the end!"

There is an iron rule for prophecy-type abilities—they can be understood but not spoken of!

If it is spoken of too specifically or accurately, it might instead influence the future path because the parties involved deliberately change their actions, causing the prophecy to fail!

Therefore, Lilian could not tell Chen Yi exactly what to do, nor could she reveal the key details of the final showdown!

She could only give a general guarantee—follow your own ideas, and there will be no problems!

And this guarantee was enough for Chen Yi.

"I understand."

Chen Yi revealed a relieved smile, "Since you have guaranteed it, I won't overthink it! I'll prepare as I should, and do what I need to do!"

Lilian also smiled: "Mm-hmm! I believe in you!"

"Let's go! Time to go back!"

"Mm!"

She finally looked around the memory field of this laboratory and said softly: "Mom and Dad... thank you! I will use this complete power to protect myself, protect Chen Yi, and protect everyone!"

As she spoke, the entire memory field began to slowly dissipate.

The scene of the laboratory gradually blurred and finally disappeared completely.

The underground returned to its true appearance—broken concrete structures, charred metal debris, and ruins covered in thick dust...

Only that silver-white safety storage cabinet still stood in its place, but the energy shield on its surface had disappeared.

However, its mission had been completed.

When Chen Yi and Lilian teleported back to Dragon Country from Eagle Country, it was exactly one o'clock in the morning.

There were no accidents, no ambushes; everything was calm to the point of feeling unreal.

Emilia walked out from the shadows: "How is the situation over there?"

"Lilian's Bloodline has fully awakened."

Chen Yi briefly recounted what happened at the research institute, including the space-time energy barrier and ZERO's possible arrival array eyes, "But we cannot destroy those array eyes for the time being, otherwise it will trigger an all-out war."

Emilia was thoughtful: "Mm, that is indeed the best course of action!"

"Let's rest first."

Chen Yi patted Lilian on the shoulder, "Tonight, I will accompany you alone!"

Lilian's beautiful eyes instantly lit up: "Really? Thank you, Chen Yi... No, Master!"

"Wow, don't call me that..."

Three hours later.

"Chen Yi, do you believe in fate?"

Lilian lay on Chen Yi, asking softly.

"I didn't before!"

Chen Yi answered honestly, "But now... when I see the research your parents left behind, see our meeting, and see them coming to my side one by one, I'm starting to think that perhaps there really is some kind of fate's arrangement!"

Upon hearing this, Lilian also smiled faintly: "I saw many future branches, but no matter which branch it is, we are always by each other's side! I was just thinking, perhaps this is the gentlest proof of fate!"

"Is that so? Then next, let me let you experience my tenderness!"

"Ahhh~~~~"

After Lilian fell into a deep sleep, Chen Yi also opened his attribute panel.

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Rank: Thirteenth Rank, Tenth Stage]

[Physique: 4420]

[Spirit Power: 4650]

[Enhancement Points: 2660 points]

Lilian and Chu Feiyu's favorability reaching 100 points brought him a considerable attribute boost.

But the Enhancement Points were still far from enough.

It really is a long and arduous road ahead!
