158: Chapter 158 Mo Wen, Come Back
The light, like eternity itself, shone continuously.
That supreme and terrifying aura, like surging waves, rose higher and higher, becoming increasingly powerful and clear.
Lin Qingzhi stood there quietly like a statue, clutching the blood cocoon that was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation in her arms, without moving a muscle.
Her cold phoenix eyes had lost all emotional fluctuation at this moment; there was no fear, no despair, and certainly no surprise.
All that remained was an unprecedented tranquility and a gentleness like a spring breeze brushing against one's face.
She had finally, thoroughly, understood.
The glory of her past life, the honor of her past life, the... hatred of her past life—to her now, all of it had long since become passing smoke and clouds.
Those were nothing more than a dream that had long since ended.
Yet right now, this warm, constantly pulsing blood cocoon in her arms, which carried all her hopes and debts, was the only irreplaceable reality in this life of hers.
She was no longer that high and mighty "Ice Phoenix Empress".
She was merely "Lin Qingzhi".
An ordinary girl who wanted to protect, with all her might, the only reality in her heart.
She had also finally, thoroughly, recognized the position of Mo Wen in her heart.
It was no longer a simple matter of "debt" and "protection".
It was a kind of dependence and love, more complex and profound than she herself could put into words.
She carefully and gently pressed her cheek, smooth as mutton-fat jade, against the blood cocoon.
This blood cocoon seemed to possess endless magic; even though a long time had passed, it still continuously emitted dazzling light and scorching heat.
She closed her eyes tightly, focusing all her attention on sensing everything within the blood cocoon.
She could clearly perceive a powerful and vigorous life pulse beating incessantly deep within the blood cocoon.
This pulse was full of infinite vitality and energy, just like a new life about to break out of the cocoon, eagerly yearning to connect with the outside world.
Her face had originally been shrouded in frost, cold and indifferent, but at this moment, after feeling the beating of that life pulse, a smile gradually appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
This smile was so gentle, so natural, without the slightest affectation or disguise, completely from the heart.
This was the first time since her Rebirth that she had revealed such a genuine, warm smile.
This smile was like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and moving, making one unable to help but be captivated by it.
It was beautiful enough to make these eternally gray Desolate Ruins pale in comparison.
It was beautiful enough to move all the gods and buddhas of the heavens.
She slowly raised her head, her phoenix eyes, already soaked with tears, quietly gazing at the blood cocoon.
Then, she gently pressed a kiss full of endless tenderness and expectation onto that burning hot blood cocoon.
"Mo Wen..."
Her cold voice, yet carrying a hint of trembling that even she herself had not noticed, echoed softly in these dead silent Desolate Ruins.
"Come back."
And just at this moment—
The instant her voice fell!
That blood cocoon seemed to have heard her... summons!
"Boom—!!!!"
A burst of Chaos light, ten thousand times more brilliant, dazzling, and terrifying than any previous time, erupted violently from the blood cocoon!
The light shot up into the sky, completely tearing open a huge and hideous... hole in the eternally gray firmament of the Desolate Ruins!
The entire Desolate Ruins trembled violently at this moment!
The blood cocoon... shone brilliantly!
