MingYue felt like part of her being had been cut off, screaming in pain as she couldn''t hold it back.
Vesa started pouring all the life force energy MingYue had stockpiled to recover her soul and body.
The backlash not only destroyed her Nascent Soul but also damaged parts of her meridian.
At this point, MingYue was barely conscious.
With Vesa''s current capability, healing MingYue''s soul took a heavy toll on her, forcing her to waste a lot of life force energy.
Even after using all the life force stockpiled by MingYue, it was still not enough.
And since MingYue was not conscious, she couldn''t actively use her own life force to heal. Sear?h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Vesa hurriedly sent a message to Alex.
At that moment, Alex was busy modifying a generator to accept Qi so it could be used in MingYue''s world.
He was experimenting with the material, testing which one could be used without affecting how the machine worked.
In the end, he used the moonlight ore he had gotten from the goblin hollow to make the generator part.
He was now waiting over a furnace to get the specific temperature he wanted.
Alex could use the Embershift Warhammer for this, but he decided not to since it was hard to maintain the temperature at a specific number.
He knew he needed to train a lot for this, but for now, he would just opt for existing tools that could do this easily.
A message then appeared in front of him.
[King, I need all your stockpiled life force energy for Queen.]
Even though her life was not in danger, damage to the soul could have unforeseen consequences; it could make her lose part of her memory or even change her personality.
As time passed, MingYue would recover her own soul since she had the trait of a vampire Progenitor, but Vesa didn''t want to take any chances in case some lingering damage persisted, and it would be a waste of time.
They didn''t know how long it would take for MingYue to completely heal, and now she also needed to recultivate to the Core Formation realm.
Alex quickly turned alert upon reading the message, but he didn''t waste time asking for the reason.
If Vesa asked for it like this, he was sure it meant an emergency.
''Go ahead, use it all; if not enough, tell me I will give some more,'' Alex replied in his mind.
He then stopped the furnace and went out of the facility to the forest to hunt for some monsters in case MingYue needed more life force.
On the way, Alex sighed.
He felt worried about what had happened to MingYue but even more so about his mother.
After returning from guarding Olivia, Patricia reported everything that happened to Alex, including what Olivia had mumbled to herself.
His eyes widened in surprise.
If it had been before what Olivia told him, he would already have run away to look for his mother, but now he realized going out like that would just put everything even more at risk.
Since he had heard Olivia already decided to tell him about it, he planned to wait and then tell Emily, too.
For now, he would try his best to get stronger as fast as possible.
Alex had already ordered another batch of high-grade mana crystals.
since he used his name and had dealings with the association, they processed his order, but that meant he needed another billion dollars in a week to pay for it.
Alex did this on purpose to put more pressure on himself.
He was also sure he would have enough money to pay for all of it since the association would have a huge order for the Storage Cube.
They had already asked Alex about the price, but he hadn''t given them any number.
Alex needed to make sure of a stable source for the Qi crystal and all the expenses first before calculating how much he would sell it for.
As Alex hunted for more life force, Vesa started healing MingYue''s soul.
Vesa did it carefully to make sure there was no lingering damage.
Thankfully, the life force from Alex''s stockpile was more than enough to heal her soul, with some to spare, but MingYue was still unconscious.
As MingYue lay on the ground, the secret realm core was still floating in the air near the Qi Vein.
MingYue had wanted to activate it to change the anchor to this location at first, but she had an epiphany and tried to break through, making her forget to activate the core.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the forest, Alex was in combat.
BANG!!!
Alex punched one of the wolf''s bodies, smashing it to pieces.
The body disappeared, turning into a life force that he absorbed.
He had already gotten information from Vesa that MingYue was all right now. Vesa had also told him what had happened.
This made Alex frown.
He felt guilty since the idea had come from him.
He felt he should have thought better before telling her a half-baked idea, even though it was her own decision.
As he kept killing monsters and gathering more life force, Alex unknowingly returned back to the place where he had talked with Olivia.
What they had talked about resurfaced in his mind, making him reflect again.
He sighed, knowing he could have done everything better.
With his ability, he could calculate how others would react to his actions, but doing that felt tiring for him.
This was why he hadn''t done it before.
But now, Alex felt it was just an excuse since his decisions had hurt the people around him.
Alex took a deep breath, looking toward the sky. He screamed from the top of his lungs, letting out all his frustration.
Feeling a bit better, Alex lay down on the grass, looking toward the twilight sky.
It was now noon when the sun started setting, turning the sky to an orange hue.
But his view of the sky changed into a round face looking at him with a smirk on her face.
"Did screaming make you feel better?" Olivia asked.
She was here because she was looking for Alex to talk about Luca, but instead, she had found him going out to the forest, hunting monsters left and right before he reached this place.
