501: Chapter 501 Farewell

Hua Liuli lowered her head.

She was silent for a long time.

Then, she raised her head.

"I'll go with you."

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because that phantom said that only by reaching Tier 14 can one break through the barrier of the Void Mirror. You haven't achieved a Breakthrough to Tier 14 yet!"

Hua Liuli was stunned.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

Because she knew that what Chen Yi said was the truth.

Although she was the array eye Host and possessed great strength, she was still some distance away from Tier 14.

In three days, it was impossible to achieve a Breakthrough.

"So, you have to stay behind!"

"Stay here and protect this world."

"Wait for my return!"

Hearing this, Hua Liuli's eyes turned red again.

But she bit her lip, not letting the tears fall.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

"That's my Liuli!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned and disappeared into the light.

---

The place where Chen Yi and Hua Liuli returned to was called the Chen Manor.

This manor was located near Chen Yi's hometown, Ye City, and was specially built by the Dragon Kingdom to thank him for saving the world.

It covered an area of three thousand mu, nestled against the mountains and by the water, with picturesque scenery.

The main building was a five-story Chinese-style structure with blue tiles, white walls, and carved beams and painted rafters.

The courtyard had a garden, a pond, a pavilion, a bamboo forest, and special facilities such as the snack kitchen specifically requested by Su Taotao.

Lin Mengxue, Luo Shiyin, Su Taotao, Yan Jiuyue, Hua Yuetong, Hua Xingtong, Chu Feiyu, Yun Zhiyao, Lilian, Black Rose, Shi Yuying, Emilia, Hua Liuli---

Everyone lived here!

Like one big family!

Chu Feiyu's parents had also been brought over and lived in the small courtyard of the east wing, planting flowers and raising birds every day, living a leisurely, warm, peaceful, and beautiful life!

After returning to the manor, Chen Yi gathered all The girls.

He told them everything that had just happened.

Including the truth about the Void Mirror, the invitation from that phantom, and the decision made for three days later.

After listening, The girls were collectively dumbfounded.

"Th---there's such a thing?"

"The Void Mirror, the hometown of world malice?"

"Does that mean there are many more things like ZERO?"

"And existences even stronger than ZERO also exist?"

"What did that phantom mean by inviting you to go there---?"

Chen Yi shook his head.

"I don't know! But it said that the answer to completely solving all of this is there."

"If I don't go, the Space-Time Rift might open again, and more existences like ZERO might descend!"

"At that time, this world will fall into chaos again!"

The girls fell silent.

They all knew what this meant.

Chen Yi had to go.

He had no choice.

But he hid one thing; he didn't tell them that only those at Tier 14 could enter the Void Mirror!

He didn't tell them that this time he could only go with Emilia!

Because he knew that if he said it, they would definitely cry and demand to go with him!

But their Rank was simply not high enough!

Going there would just be throwing their lives away!

Rather than being sad when parting, it was better not to tell them now!

Once he solved the matter there, he would return very soon!

By then, he would just have Hua Liuli leave a message!

"Don't worry, I'm a god now, what could happen to me?"

"Besides, with Emilia accompanying me, a Fourteenth Tier, Tenth Stage big shot, that's safe enough, right?"

Emilia raised her eyebrows beside him, but didn't speak.

She knew what Chen Yi was hiding.

But she understood his decision.

---

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early that morning, Chen Yi and Emilia arrived at Point Nemo.

That Space-Time Rift had indeed opened again.

It was palm-sized, just like it was three days ago.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and was about to speak.

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated frantically!

He took it out and saw the names of all The girls flashing on the screen at the same time!

Chen Yi froze for a second, then smiled bitterly and answered.

"Chen Yi! Did you sneak away?"

"Hua Liuli told us everything! Why didn't you tell us the truth?"

Chen Yi turned to look behind him.

Sure enough, a silver light lit up.

Hua Liuli's figure emerged from the light.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"I'm sorry--- they pressured me too hard, I--- I couldn't hold out---"

Chen Yi sighed.

He didn't expect he still couldn't hide it!

The very next second, beams of teleportation light lit up one after another!

All The girls appeared in front of him!

Their eyes were red, but they stubbornly held back their tears.

"Chen Yi---"

"Are we--- are we very useless?"

"Not even qualified to go with you---"

Chen Yi looked at her, looking at every one of them.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say some comforting words.

But nothing came out.

Because what they said was the truth.

Their Rank really wasn't enough.

Going to the Void Mirror would only make them a burden to him, and might even cost them their lives.

"I'm sorry---"

In the end, he only said these three words.

Lin Mengxue shook her head.

"It's not your fault! Promise me, you must come back!"

Chen Yi hugged her tightly.

"I promise you."

Then it was Luo Shiyin.

She didn't say anything, just hugged him tightly.

Su Taotao rushed up, buried her face in his chest, and said muffledly: "Brother Chen Yi, you must bring back something delicious!"

Yan Jiuyue walked over, her nine fox tails gently wrapping around him: "Little Brother Chen Yi, your sister will wait for your return."

Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong walked over holding hands, tears on their little faces, but they tried hard to squeeze out a smile.

"Husband, come back early."

"Husband, we'll wait for you."

Chu Feiyu hugged him gently, not saying anything, but he understood the thousand words in her eyes.

Yun Zhiyao held his hand and was silent for a long time: "Chen Yi, do your best!"

Lilian showed a relieved smile, as if she had already seen through everything.

"I saw you coming back!"

"Although I can't see the process clearly, the ending is good!"

"Go for it, trust your intuition, and everything will fall into place!"

Black Rose's vines gently wrapped around his wrist, and a small rose bloomed on the vine: "Take it with you; it will accompany you in my stead!"

Shi Yuying hugged her daughter and looked at Chen Yi: "Thank you for taking care of Tao Tao and me during this time. Please, you must come back safely!"

Finally, there was Hua Liuli.

She stood at the back of the crowd, watching him.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Then, she walked over, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him lightly.

"Come back alive!"

"Otherwise, I'll chase you all the way to the Void Mirror!"

Chen Yi smiled: "That goes without saying! Even ZERO couldn't stump me, and the Void Realm is the same!"

Emilia watched this scene from the side, rarely without an impatient expression.

She just waited quietly, waiting for Chen Yi to finish saying goodbye to everyone.

Then, that phantom emerged from the rift again.

"It seems you are ready now, aren't you?"
