Chapter 31: Social Isolation!
Over the next month, Xu Xingyue noticed that Lin Yi had changed!
That spirited young man, whose bones were filled with pride, became suspicious and paranoid.
Not practicing during the day,
Not sleeping at night
He shut himself off from the world, and from time to time, he would mutter strange terms like "true God" and "Lord of the Universe".
Xu Xingyue was very worried and even invited Lin's father and mother over to persuade him to see a psychologist.
Lin Yi rejected them all.
This is not surprising. Just like an ordinary person who suddenly wins a lottery of 1 trillion yuan, even if all they have is a ticket stub, they can't control their emotions!
What Lin Yi has obtained now is not 1 trillion yuan, but a supreme treasure whose value is comparable to billions of star fields of the entire human race!
Even with his unparalleled strength and the Star Tower, Luo Feng dared not reveal a single piece of information.
Lin Yi's current strength is only at the third level of the Planetary Realm, and he is only 18 years old. Naturally, the psychological pressure he is under is far greater than that of Luo Feng at that time.
Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune.
Under excessive pressure, Lin Yi's soul and will activated their self-protective instincts.
On the one hand, Lin Yi was very clear-headed; he knew who he was and what he should do.
On the other hand, he was also chaotic, unable to control his body or take concrete actions.
Like a walking corpse.
As news of Lin Yi's autism spread, Hong and Lei Shen were alarmed and rushed over to check on him. However, they were stopped at the door by the Life-Eating Vine and could only shake their heads and leave.
They knew that Lin Yi's condition was due to a powerful shock, causing his consciousness to shut itself off as a form of self-protection. There was no good way to help him except to wait for him to come out on his own.
Xu Xingyue takes care of Lin Yi's daily life.
A month later, two uninvited guests from the HR Alliance arrived: Sayya and Vinina. Upon hearing that Lin Yi was in trouble, they disregarded Lin Yi's warning that he was not allowed to appear in front of Xu Xingyue.
Sayueya and Vinina took the initiative to take care of Lin Yi's daily life. As long as Xu Xingyue wasn't too stupid, she could see the situation between the two and Lin Yi.
Normally, she would definitely be jealous and make a fuss, kicking Sayya and Vinina out.
Given Lin Yi's current situation, he simply doesn't have the inclination or the mood to tacitly allow the two women to exist.
……
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the depths of winter, with the Spring Festival approaching, the festive atmosphere grows stronger.
Xu Xingyue, Sha Yueya, and Vinina pushed Lin Yi to the third-floor balcony, where they sunbathed and enjoyed the fresh air as usual.
A strange thing happened. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, but a snowflake as big as a goose feather drifted down from the sky, slid down in front of Lin Yi, and landed on the ground.
Snowflakes streaked across Lin Yi's lifeless eyes, landing on the exquisitely tiled ground, slowly melting into liquid, and then vaporizing and disappearing without a trace as time passed.
His eyes moved slightly...
"Lin Yi, you were already exhausted in your past life. In this life, you've transmigrated to the Swallowed Star world, so why not enjoy yourself?"
"Lin Yi, with beautiful wives and concubines, and no worries about food or clothing, what more could he possibly want?"
"Lin Yi, aren't you afraid of pain and even more afraid of death? As long as you stay on Earth and follow the rules, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen will protect the Earth and let you die a peaceful and happy death."
"Lin Yi, what's so great about venturing into the starry sky? It's a bloody world where people eat each other, endless slaughter..."
"How wonderful it would be if things continued like this..."
……
"No, the life I have now is what I pursued in my past life. But I don't want to be bound by that in my future life..."
"Death is indeed terrifying, but the cycle of life and death, the submission of continents, the fall of celestial bodies, the rotation of the universe—everything is relative. The fear of death should only fuel our pursuit of the splendor of life!"
……
"I fear dying in agony, but I fear even more living a life of ignorance and confusion! Like this snowflake, arriving lightly... and departing silently!"
"A fleeting moment, and youth is gone!"
"If life is lived brilliantly, even a fleeting moment is eternal!"
"The flame of life burns eternally!"
……
Xu Xingyue, Vinina, and Sayueya were by her side, chatting casually as usual.
Suddenly, the newly elected councilor, Vinina, keenly noticed Lin Yi's unusual behavior. Following her, Xu Xingyue and Sayya, the two war goddesses, also noticed Lin Yi's strangeness.
The surrounding air gradually warmed up, and despite it being the dead of winter, a warmth reminiscent of early summer emerged...
"Madam, look!"
Vinina stared wide-eyed at Lin Yi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, in disbelief.
Xu Xingyue looked over and covered her mouth in surprise.
Wisps of flame, like sprites, seeped from his body and swirled around him.
A crimson domain gradually expanded... Although it did not show any aggression towards the three women, the fiery energy it contained, as deep as a turbulent ocean, still made them tremble with fear.
Life and death are separated by a single thought.
Suddenly, the fire domain contracted and returned to Lin Yi's body.
"Phew! Sorry to have worried you all!"
Lin Yi smiled and stood up.
"Ah~!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Xu Xingyue rushed into Lin Yi's arms like a fledgling swallow seeking refuge.
Lin Yi smiled and gently patted the girl's back, then smiled at Vinina and Sayya, who were standing to the side at a loss.
For the past six months, he has been conscious, but his body has been isolated from his mind. He knows everything that the three women, Vinina, Sayueya, and Xu Xingyue, have done... you could say they are extremely attentive!
He could understand why Xu Xingyue acted this way.
The fact that Vinina and Sayuea could do this was beyond his imagination.
Judging by actions, not intentions, he accepted the way Vinina and Sayueya acted and treated them as friends from then on.
Xu Xingyue broke free from Lin Yi's embrace and immediately shared the good news with Lin Yi's parents and other relatives.
That night, at Lin Yi's villa, they had a reunion dinner. After comforting everyone until late at night, Lin Yi finally had time to go to the quiet room on the third floor to reflect on what he had gained during this period.
"My charming ancestor was absolutely right in summarizing things: every cloud has a silver lining. This time, the harvest has been truly phenomenal!"
Lin Yi could hardly contain his joy.
The fire domain transcends the second level and enters the third level!
"Thanks a lot, Xiao Shi!"
"Only by placing me under the Bodhi tree every day can I comprehend the three realms!"
Lin Yi patted the even thicker golden vines. Xu Xingyue, Shayueya, and Vinina broke through to the next level, which was also due to their care for Lin Yi day and night. Vinina broke through to the planetary level, and Xu Xingyue and Shayueya also possessed the strength of a mid-level war god.
The Life-Eating Vine, having received its master's approval, affectionately rubbed against Lin Yi with its vines.
It knew that its master, Lin Yi, had a problem, but it didn't know what the problem was. It could only do its best to give its master the best things it had.
"Breakthroughs in any field are insignificant compared to the progress of my will!"
Lin Yi's eyes were clear, and his whole being became like a divine sword sheathed, sharp yet restrained.
