Chapter 145: Fusion! (First Update)

  PS: The first update is online.

  Splash!

  The water flowed apart in both directions, and a figure of a person who had been sleeping soundly slowly floated up from under the water.

  Lin Xiao's gaze swept over the other person's slender and delicate body, and in an instant, they had already disappeared into the lake with him.

  After searching for almost an hour, Lin Xiao finally found the zither lying at the bottom of the lake. When he discovered it, the signs of life on its body had become extremely weak, but Lin Xiao could feel that another unusual sign of life was slowly awakening within this body.

  "Wow!"

  A surge of spiritual energy swept away the thick white snow on the ground, and Lin Xiao placed Qin's body on top of it.

  "Victory or defeat will be decided in this one move!" Lin Xiao placed his hands on either side of the guqin's head, slowly closing his eyes as a thread of spiritual energy slowly seeped into the opponent's mind. Lin Xiao seemed to "see" two consciousnesses, one large and one small, within which one was already at a disadvantage, on the verge of being engulfed by the other.

  Of course, Lin Xiao knew that even if this large consciousness body swallowed another small consciousness body, but because there was no long-term fusion process, it would still lead to Qin's consciousness appearing intermittently. It can be said that this fusion only put the memories of the two consciousness bodies together, and did not truly fuse them into a single memory chain.

  In perception, Lin Xiao seemed to see a cluster of orange-red energy and a cluster of sea-blue energy colliding with each other. With each collision, the sea-blue energy would be stripped of some of its constituent parts by the other side. If this continued, it wouldn't take long for that cluster of energy to be completely consumed by the other cluster of orange-red energy.

  "Since it's already been decided, I'll help you out!" Lin Xiao's spiritual energy enveloped upwards, like a large hand, heavily striking the surface of that orange-red energy.

  "Wow!"

  He seemed to have heard a shrill and unpleasant whistling sound. The orange-red energy was suddenly directed at Lin Xiao with its spearhead, while the sea-blue energy didn't lag behind, quickly realizing that this was her only chance to turn defeat into victory, immediately launched a counterattack against the orange-red energy.

  Lin Xiao found that their chances of winning were not high despite being outnumbered.

  The orange energy cluster was extremely large, and Lin Xiao couldn't possibly inject all his spiritual power into the body of the zither. Gradually, the battle situation still tilted towards the opponent's side.

  If things really go on like this, I'm afraid that by the time it happens, not only will Guqin's consciousness be engulfed by the other party, but Lin Xiao will also be affected.

  "Let's give it a try, treating a dead horse as if it were alive!" Lin Xiao didn't expect that the Black Phoenix, who had just escaped from her predicament, would be so powerful. Even if he joined forces with Qin, they still wouldn't be her match.

  Fortunately, he still has a trick up his sleeve. If this trick doesn't work either, then don't blame him for not saving the situation. At that time, he won't be able to care about Qin's safety anymore and can only execute his original plan, destroying the two consciousness bodies during their fusion. That way, there won't be a situation where Hei Feng Huang takes revenge on him.

  As soon as he thought about it, Lin Xiao's spiritual power fluctuated immediately. A stream of information was transmitted into the orange-red energy mass in front of him.

  The next moment, Lin Xiao clearly felt the orange-red energy mass in front of him tremble slightly, apparently reacting to the information he had just transmitted. Seeing this, Lin Xiao hastily sent out another message.

  "Are you Huang Quan's brother?"

  Not long after the second message was sent out, a piece of information quickly fed back and was received by Lin Xiao.

  "As expected, even if the negative emotions burst out thoroughly, her own consciousness still exists." Lin Xiao secretly agreed with his own thoughts while also transmitting the third piece of information.

  "Little Phoenix, this consciousness in front of you is what you will become when you grow up. Can't you stop devouring her?"

  Very soon, feedback from Hei Feng Huang's side came again.

  "No! My body is mine, trapped for so many years, I want revenge, I want to destroy the entire world!"

  This time the information that came back was filled with violent emotions, Lin Xiao looked at it and couldn't help but feel a headache, as if it wasn't easy to persuade!

  "Little Phoenix, listen to Huang Quan's words, don't swallow this sister again. Later, Huang Quan will help you two merge your consciousness together, and then you'll know what your body has been through all these years, and you can also see the outside world."

  Lin Xiao tried not to stimulate the wound in Hei Feng Huang's heart, and instead chose some beautiful things to talk about, hoping to stabilize her emotions. Although he knew the possibility of success was low, Lin Xiao had no other choice but to try anyway.

  The consciousness of the zither seemed to know that Lin Xiao was suddenly appearing and communicating with the opponent, at this time did not make any moves that would stimulate the Black Phoenix again, but quietly stayed beside Lin Xiao's spiritual body, as if still observing the Black Phoenix.

  Half a beat later, Hei Feng Huang's side finally fed back a piece of information.

  "When the time comes, who will be the one truly in control between me and Huang Quan?"

  Perhaps it was because Lin Xiao was the only person who had communicated with her for so many years, and the negative emotions of Hei Feng Huang had just burst out, but had not completely swallowed her rationality, that at this moment, Hei Feng Huang actually listened to Lin Xiao's words.

  But she was still a bit serious about it, however, this wasn't a big deal. Lin Xiao's confidence surged greatly after receiving Black Phoenix's response.

  "Little Phoenix, Huang Quan brother won't be biased towards any of you, so you can rest assured. And originally, you are one person anyway. When the time comes and you merge, it's just filling in the missing part that was originally lacking. At that time, you will be her, and she will be you. Do you want to have a chat with your grown-up self?"

  Hei Feng Huang fell silent for a moment, and it wasn't until half a beat later that she fed back a piece of information. This time, however, the information was something that even Lian Qin's consciousness could sense the meaning behind.

  "Are you me when I grow up? Why haven't you come to see me for so long?"

  At this moment, Hei Feng Huang looked like a wronged little girl, and even Qin, who had been somewhat confused and very angry before, softened her heart at this moment.

  Moreover, from the other party's information, she seemed to have seen some secrets that she didn't know herself.

  Is this powerful consciousness in front of her really herself when she was a child?

  Kotomi has lived with the Professor since she was very young and has almost forgotten about her past. The Professor told her that this is amnesia, and this news made her become somewhat of a loner for a while.

  But now she suddenly seemed to have grasped some sort of secret, as if things were not as simple as the professor had told her.

  Is it really just amnesia?

  Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh as he watched the two of them start communicating with each other.

  It's clear that everything is heading in a good direction, Hei Feng is telling Qin about her childhood memories, and Qin is also talking about her life after 'losing her memory', unknowingly, the two of them are pointing their fingers at Professor X.

  "Hey! Professor, this wasn't me, don't blame me!" Lin Xiao looked at the two people who seemed to be in cahoots with each other and couldn't help but silently mourn for Professor X for three seconds.

  Before long, it seemed as though they had communicated enough.

  "Yellow Spring brother, I promised to merge with sister's consciousness, I'm going out to beat that despicable Professor X!" The voice of Black Phoenix came in a soft and sweet tone, Lin Xiao hurriedly nodded his head with a smile.

  "Alright, you all come over here."

  The consciousness of the two converged in front of Lin Xiao as he intended.

  At the same time, Lin Xiao was also asking Lin Xiang in his mind, he himself didn't know how to perfectly merge the two consciousnesses, fortunately there was Lin Xiang, otherwise Lin Xiao would have been at a loss.

  "It's not that simple, you directly use your own spiritual power to wrap around the two women's consciousness bodies, don't let them resist, then slowly squeeze inwards, tell them to relax their memories, this way it will gradually merge."

  In the system space, Xīnér very quickly and directly told Lín Xiāo the answer.

  Lin Xiao immediately conveyed this meaning to Hei Fenghuang and Qin.

  "Remember, don't resist, let go of your memories, try to accept each other."

  A vast spiritual force seemed to weave a large net, directly wrapping the two consciousness bodies of Black Phoenix and Qin layer by layer. Fortunately, both of them listened to Lin Xiao's words and did not make any resistant moves.

  Lin Xiao was also curious, Hei Feng Huang this little girl because of the long loneliness and not understanding human emotions would believe in herself he could understand, but surprisingly Qin would also believe in himself, this is what surprised him.

  However, it was not the time to ask questions now. He wrapped the two consciousness bodies and began to shrink this spiritual force net little by little. In his perception, Lin Xiao clearly saw that the consciousness bodies of Black Phoenix and Qin changed from initial mutual rejection to gradual fusion.

  This process is obviously extremely slow, fortunately Lin Xiao has plenty of time, even if he spends several days and nights here, he won't have a problem.

  In fact, the whole process really took Lin Xiao a full two days and one night to thoroughly merge the two consciousness bodies together. Only at the last moment did Lin Xiao withdraw his spiritual power according to Xinger's instructions and exit Qin's brain.

  Opening his eyes, Lin Xiao blinked and looked at the face close to him. He seemed a bit tense, with both hands clenched together, and on this cold winter day, he was actually sweating.

  "Don't fail, whatever you do!" Lin Xiao silently prayed in his heart.

  Just then, a clear and pleasant ringing sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

  Ding!

  "Host, upon completing the quest 'Awakening of the Black Phoenix', will you receive the quest reward immediately?"

  Yes/No? (......)
