He floated above the sea of consciousness, shaking, the light was very dim, like an oil lamp that might go out at any time.
The light of the Great Luo Golden Scripture slowly faded, returning to its original gentle state.
However, the thing was not completely relaxed; a circle of faint golden light still surrounded the icy blue ball of light, like a cage, locking it firmly in place.
David gasped as his consciousness regained control of his body.
He opened his eyes and saw Jiang Xuelan looking at him worriedly, her forehead covered in sweat.
“How are you?” His voice was shaking.
David opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his voice very hoarse.
“I’m fine.”
He sat upright, closed his eyes, and once again felt the situation in the sea of knowledge.
The icy blue ball of light was still hovering above the sea of consciousness, trapped by the golden halo.
He no longer tried to take over the body, but remained there quietly, like a wild animal locked in a cage.
Faint mental fluctuations radiated from that ball of light.
“I admit defeat.”
It was Bei Mingyuan’s voice, a hundred times weaker than before.
“The Great Luo Golden Scripture protects you. I can’t take your body. Save my life. I can be used by you.”
David was silent for a moment.
He didn’t want to leave this threat alone.
However Bei Mingyuan was the ancestor of the Ice God lineage and Jiang Xuelan’s ancestor, so he could not make his own decisions.
He opened his eyes and told Jiang Xuelan the situation in his subconscious.
After listening, Jiang Xuelan was silent for a long time.
Then, he let out a soft breath.
“Save his life.”
His voice was soft, a little tired, “After all, he is my ancestor. And… he is now trapped and poses no threat to you. Keeping him may be useful in the future.”
David thought for a moment and nodded.
He spoke to the ice blue ball of light in the back of his mind: “I will spare your life, but you must behave in my mind’s eye. If you do anything inappropriate again”
He didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear.
The ball of light shook slightly.
“I understand, thank you”
The icy blue ball slowly sank into the depths of David’s sea of consciousness, where it fell asleep under the golden halo of the Golden Scripture of the Great Luo.
David opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xuelan.
“The problem is solved.”
Jiang Xuelan looked at him, her eyes filled with worry, relief, and a hint of indescribable emotion.
“In your sea of consciousness resides an ancient ancestor who is like a god.” His voice contained a hint of a bitter smile. “How does it feel?”
David thought for a moment and said seriously, “It’s a bit crowded.”
Jiang Xuelan was silent for a moment, then smiled.
The smile was faint, but more sincere than before.
“Let’s go.” He stood up and stretched out his hand. “Go back and rest. Your body needs proper care now.”
David took her hand and stood up.
The two walked side by side towards the Tree of Life.
The golden leaves swayed gently in the evening breeze, producing rustling sounds.
The aurora borealis floated slowly above their heads, the pink and purple light covering them both like a soft blanket.
Deep under the lake, Guixu’s seven eyes slowly opened slightly.
He watched the two figures disappear into the distance, remaining silent for a long time.
Then, he closed his eyes and sank back into darkness.
The dark blue lake returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
