Silent Confession

"You don't seem to reject my words?"

The smile on the corner of Ling Ye's lips grows even more confident. "Do you want me to marry you?"

As soon as those words leave his mouth, Luo Li snaps back to reality. Her expression turns cold once again. "If you manage to survive, then we'll talk about it."

The moment she finishes speaking, she instantly regrets it.

What the hell?

Did she really say that herself?

What does that even mean?

Isn't this the same as telling Ling Ye that she wants him to survive? That she wants him to win?

That she wants him to marry her?

No!

How could she say something like that to Ling Ye?

Without another word, she turns swiftly. The space around her distorts, and in the next instant, she vanishes.

She leaves not because of fear—but because she's afraid of what else she might end up saying.

She never told Ling Ye that she is pregnant.

And now, she has missed her chance.

---

On his Void Throne, Ling Ye watches her departure, amusement flickering in his eyes.

"This woman… does she really want to marry me?"

He chuckles.

Actually, if he thinks about it, it wouldn't be a bad thing, would it?

She is qualified to be his woman.

Still… something feels different about her today.

But he can't quite place it.

Luo Li is at the pinnacle of the Extreme God Realm, while he himself is a half-step into the Boundless Realm. Yet, because she deliberately concealed it, Ling Ye doesn't notice anything unusual.

He has no idea that she's pregnant.

All he senses is that she seems… gentler.

Yes.

Even though she still acts proud and cold, deep down, there's an inexplicable softness to her aura.

He smiles and lets the thought go.

The number one beauty in the heavens and the myriad worlds is quite interesting.

She appeared before him suddenly—only to leave just as quickly.

Why?

She rarely leaves the Purple Cloud Immortal Realm, so why did she come here just to see him?

She knew she couldn't kill him, yet she still tried?

Luo Li wouldn't waste her time on something meaningless.

Then… what was her reason?

Was she seeking accountability?

Ling Ye lets out a chuckle and dismisses the thought.

Responsibility? That's not something he's considering right now.

He waves his hand, and several rare materials appear before him—treasures he has collected from across the heavens and the myriad worlds.

Spirit Stones, Star Divine Iron, Ocean-Calming Pearls…

Each one is a legendary material with immense power.

Only such treasures can be used to forge the body of an Extreme God.

"It's not enough."

Ling Ye murmurs to himself.

These materials alone are sufficient to create a powerful body at the Extreme God level.

But if perfection is possible, why settle for less?

He plans to gather one final ingredient before beginning the forging process.

Just as he is about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly echoes in his mind.

"Master, I found a way! A… very special way."

It's Zhuge Qingchan.

Hearing this, the corner of Ling Ye's mouth curves into a faint smirk.

He didn't expect this little girl to actually succeed.

It seems his judgment was correct—she truly is a genius of the ages.

This saves him quite a bit of trouble.

His figure vanishes instantly.

---

Across the sea of stars, within the towering Library of Infinite Worlds, Zhuge Qingchan waits inside an ancient, majestic building.

Hum…

A distortion in the blood-colored space signals Ling Ye's arrival.

"Master Demon Lord!"

Upon seeing him, Zhuge Qingchan hurries forward, her face filled with excitement.

Because she… she actually found a way.

A way to fix the location of rebirth.

In other words, a method to determine a rebirth site in advance.

"You really didn't disappoint me."

Ling Ye's voice is calm, but there's a trace of approval in his eyes.

Zhuge Qingchan's face flushes slightly, her heart skipping a beat.

To be acknowledged by Ling Ye…

To see him smile at her…

A wave of happiness washes over her.

"Speak. How does it work?" Ling Ye commands.

Zhuge Qingchan hesitates for a moment before saying, "I… I didn't find a way to merge the two paths of rebirth."

Then she bites her lip and continues, "But I did find a method to fix reincarnation."

"That's more than enough." Ling Ye smirks.

As long as he can control the location of his rebirth, that's all that matters.

"Mm!"

Zhuge Qingchan nods and waves her small hand.

With a flicker of her spiritual power, she projects a massive, glowing map into the air—a complete representation of the Chaos Universe.

"I studied countless ancient texts and discovered that some people have attempted fixed rebirth before," she explains.

"But none of them succeeded."

"However, through records left behind by predecessors, as well as numerous reincarnation cases, I discovered something—"

"Rebirth can actually be controlled."
