    Chapter 178: Unbind the System?

    Perhaps this is fate.

    Yu An’s eyelashes were wet, and after a moment, he wiped the corner of his eye before continuing to ask, “What do you need me to do?”

    The key in the Saintess’s hand was different from the other two he had obtained. The power on it was extremely strong, easily causing drastic changes.

    Clearly, over the years, the Saintess had done something to the key, allowing it to preserve those dark powers.

    If he didn’t stop it, the entire world would probably be destroyed.

    Lan Yin slowly looked at him and said, “Introduce that dark power into Jinsheng’s body. Yu An, your mission in this world will be complete.”

    “What do you mean…”

    For a moment, Yu An suspected he didn’t understand the words.

    “These keys have passed through too many people over the millennia, and been spied upon by too many, and have long been tainted with impure power. Only by dissipating the dark power first can you touch the last key.”

    In the previous hundreds of cycles, she had already found ways to eliminate a lot of the impure power from the other two keys.

    But the one in the Saintess’s hand was the most widely circulated and the strongest. Moreover, her cycle ability was limited and couldn’t affect the power of the Space-Time Bureau’s key.

    In other words, the key that the Saintess used to absorb the impure power in those cycles where Xie Jinsheng was manipulated to destroy the world would be preserved and enter the next cycle along with it.

    Perhaps that was why.

    The Alpha gradually became aware of the cycle event.

    Yu An understood what she meant.

    She wanted Xie Jinsheng to become a container to carry the impure power.

    No wonder, when he asked her what the cycle was about, and what to do if he couldn’t collect all the keys, her answer was vague and humorous, telling him to do what he could and not be too obsessed.

    It turned out that those were just to dispel his desire to continue questioning.

    “This is the last cycle, there are no more chances,” Lan Yin said very slowly, her voice trembling. “Jinsheng has half of my bloodline, and he also possesses the ability to stay in the space-time rift. My energy… will also do its best to protect him.”

    Over the years, she had recalled countless times.

    If she could have come back earlier, would Jinsheng not have become the way he was later? But after thinking about it again and again, perhaps all of this was destined.

    Just like her, no matter how many times she restarted, she would choose to give birth to Jinsheng at that moment. She also didn’t regret using the cycle to change his fate.

    There was a moment of silence in the sea of consciousness.

    Lan Yin heard the well-behaved and soft youth beside her suddenly say, “Actually, there is another way. I am also a host…”

    Lan Yin was stunned when she understood what he meant.

    “I also want to protect him.” Yu An met her eyes, his pupils slightly wet, without any intention of retreating. “If it succeeds, my ‘death’ can allow me to escape the fate of being a host, and from then on, I can be with the person I love; if it fails, he won’t have to remember me…”

    The fall of a host wouldn’t be remembered by the people of the small world.

    Moreover, because his weapon had been sealed, and he couldn’t use the Space-Time Bureau’s power, he had become accustomed to traversing the small worlds with his bare hands for many years. Even if he accidentally entered the space-time rift, the probability of him returning would be higher.

    “So, thank you.” Yu An looked at her and said softly, “Mom…”

    This was what he wanted to call her.

    It was also what he was calling for Jinsheng.

    Before Lan Yin’s energy shadow could react, Yu An had already broken free from the sea of consciousness.

    A ringing sound surged, followed by 089’s voice: 【Host, what happened to you just now! I called you for a long time and you didn’t respond!! Ahhh, the Saintess has gone crazy, and has been rampaging for several minutes!】

    Yu An raised his head and realized that the sea was now a storm of rain and thunder, but the boat was strangely on fire.

    Clearly, the Saintess had been using her abilities randomly.

    “Where is the Saintess?” Yu An asked.

    For some reason, 089 felt that the host’s tone was a little strange and quickly pointed. 【Host, look quickly! She is in mid-air, and her body is covered with a lot of black power… Damn, what is this? It seems a little dangerous–】

    Before he could finish speaking, the host headed over there.

    089 had a bad feeling for some reason.

    In that instant, through the flames, the corner of Yu An’s eye caught a glimpse of a familiar, slender figure. The clear scent of sandalwood mixed with ice-type abilities surged over.

    Bringing a solemnity that even the wind and rain couldn’t resist.

    It was Xie Jinsheng.

    It seemed that even Duan Mei hadn’t stopped him.

    In those past times hidden in the corners, Xie Jinsheng had done so much for him, so this time, let him protect him once.

    At the moment their eyes met in the wind, rain, and fire, Xie Jinsheng paused slightly. Seeing this familiar figure again, his heart, which had been in a state of panic for several days, should have finally calmed down. However, he didn’t know why seeing the little Omega suddenly made him feel even more dull pain and unease.

    “An’an.” Xie Jinsheng subconsciously wanted to walk towards Yu An.

    But he saw the youth looking at him, tears silently falling from the corner of his eyes, and smiling at him.

    Then, in Xie Jinsheng’s line of sight.

    He saw that thin body suddenly turn and head towards the center of the lightning and thunder storm.

    Xie Jinsheng’s heart stung, and his head suddenly split with pain. Something flashed through his mind rapidly–

    In the snow, the youth was covered in blood, and the jasmine-scented body in his arms gradually became cold… and a large number of more beautiful, more unfamiliar, yet very familiar images and memories poured in.

    Xie Jinsheng covered his head, a fishy sweetness in his throat, as if he could cough up blood. His shoulders tensed and trembled, his eyes bloodshot, but in the pain and chaos, he gradually remembered everything.

    So.

    He once had a wife named Little Jasmine.

    And Little Jasmine was his An’an.

    While Xie Jinsheng was in pain, he disregarded everything and rushed towards Yu An’s direction. Countless tentacles drilled out uncontrollably, as if wanting to grab some illusory and scattered light.

    But in the wind and rain, he saw such a scene.

    He saw countless dark powers surging towards the little Omega, as if treating him as some kind of container. In an instant, the youth’s face was terribly pale, his lips were bloodless, and his whole body was trembling and convulsing.

    That so frail and delicate body, bearing such great pain, didn’t cry out in pain.

    “An’an!” He shouted like crazy.

    But countless indescribable colorful powers converged into a barrier, isolating him.

    Until the filth completely dissipated, the Omega fell from mid-air covered in blood.

    Xie Jinsheng quickly hugged the youth tightly in his arms, his voice trembling. “An’an, don’t die, I finally found you, I finally…”

    Saw you again.

    After a long while, Yu An’s eyelashes trembled, and the strength in his body was dissipating. He used almost all of his strength to raise his blood-covered fingertips to touch his face, his voice weak with a smile:

    “Jinsheng, let’s… play a game.”

    When you close your eyes, count to three.

    I’m going to hide.

    This time, you don’t need to look for me.

    “Let me find you…”

    Even if I’m stranded in the space-time tunnel, I will find my way back, see you again, and fulfill those promises I once made to you.

    089 had crashed as early as the time of the accident and was directly thrown out.

    The physical little ball hurriedly grabbed Xie Jinsheng’s clothes so that it wouldn’t be shaken dozens of meters away. Realizing something, it hurriedly shouted to the little pretty: 【Host! Host, don’t!】

    “Unbind with System 089?”

    Yu An’s consciousness paused for a long time, seeming to be somewhat nostalgic. Countless memories and bits of life flashed through his mind. Finally, he slowly raised his hand and clicked on a virtual button.

    “Confirm.”

    Consciousness gradually dissipated, Yu An completely closed his eyes, and at that moment, he was in a trance and couldn’t tell whether what was hitting his face was rain or not…

    Within the Space-Time Bureau, a dazzling shooting star streaked across the sky and fell without a trace.

    Yes, a host had fallen.
