"Is this...?"

Seeing her own body reduced to that of a loli, even Hong Ling, usually known for her composure in serious matters, couldn't help but gasp in shock, while Yao Yao and Yi Ren wore expressions of utter disbelief.

It must be remembered that given their cultivation levels, even if their power was compressed to its lowest ebb, they were protected by their own inherent laws. Even if someone could kill them, they couldn't alter their bodies or minds—especially Yao Yao, who possessed the power to overturn fate. Yet now, merely being illuminated by that light had transformed them from mature women into lolis, and they could even feel their internal strength gradually draining away... Such a thing was utterly fantastical before!

Although they had long known the power of the Mirror of Truth was immense and extreme, they hadn't anticipated it possessing such an ability. They had never heard of this before!

But fortunately, in her current state, Luo Tianyi still couldn't unleash the Mirror of Truth's true might; otherwise, things wouldn't have become so troublesome. However... even so, they had no hope of defeating Luo Tianyi before. Now, with their bodies shrunk and their strength diminished, could they still fight?

The answer was clearly no. Just

"I know you are powerful, so powerful that almost no one can stop you, but..." Luo Tianyi nodded, then shook her head again, "But I am different, because I am one with you. Even compared to you, I don't amount to an ant. Even if you gave your power to me, I couldn't use it. However, regarding control over this body, I have the same rights as you. So... if you insist on going down this path, I will personally destroy this body. Although I don't know how to fight, I can certainly detonate your power and destroy myself."

Hearing these words, the 'Luo Tianyi' instantly panicked and rushed to say, "No! You can't do that! Tianyi, have you forgotten your own wish? If you really detonate this body, how will you ever realize your aspiration?"

"But even if I don't do this, if you continue down the path that will only bring you future pain and regret, you will truly break down, and then I truly won't be able to do anything... But now, at least I still have something I can do; at least I can tell you that your true happiness is not this."

"So, please, stop doing such sorrowful things!"

Following Luo Tianyi's sincere cry, the 'Luo Tianyi' suddenly noticed that something new had appeared in her previously blank memories. Before she could process what it was, icy pain followed immediately, so intense it made her scream hoarsely, clutching her head and struggling violently.

At that very moment, a white, ethereal shadow rose from within her body, circling around her, and laughing softly, "Please listen to my song of happiness, if only it can reach you..."

The next second, the phantom opened its throat and began to sing softly. The lyrics were simple, the melody gentle; at first glance, unremarkable, but gradually, one could feel a warmth and healing quality emerging. As this singing entered the ears of 'Luo Tianyi,' it was clear to see her expression of agony slowly settle, finally becoming one of peace and serenity.

Even Hong Ling and the other two standing nearby listened intently.

If it were the original Luo Tianyi, her singing certainly wouldn't possess such power. But possessing the strength of the True Heart, even if she didn't know how to wield it, she could channel this power while singing, bestowing happiness upon those around her.

Not long after, the song ended, and the white shadow returned to the body. 'Luo Tianyi' was now completely calm. She looked at Hong Ling and the other two and finally said, "Tianyi, I understand your resolve. Fine, this time I will listen to you. I won't kill them anymore."

Luo Tianyi smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

Then, her soul once again sank into slumber.

"Hmph, lucky you!" Snorting coldly at Hong Ling and the other two, Luo Tianyi left without looking back.

Feeling her presence completely vanish, Hong Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, remarking with feeling, "Phew, I never would have thought we'd be saved by that little girl. Life is truly unpredictable."

"But speaking of which, didn't we go too far? She seems quite badly hurt," Yi Ren said with a hint of worry.

"When did you become so soft-hearted?" Yao Yao asked, puzzled.

Hong Ling, however, spoke up angrily, "What was too far? Everything we said was the truth. That woman always acts like everyone owes her something, yet she never realizes others were harmed because of her actions. If it weren't for her, how would he have ended up like that? And how would Qiqi have died, or the Time Traveler Corps been destroyed? Hmph!"

Hearing this, Yao Yao and Yi Ren exchanged awkward smiles.

Yi Ren frowned, "But both of them said they would keep it a secret from her. Now that we’ve revealed it..."

Hong Ling shot her a withering look, "So what if we told? I was the one most against keeping that secret from her in the first place!"

Yao Yao commented, "He might not react much, but if Qiqi finds out later, she'll probably be furious."

Hong Ling immediately retorted impatiently, "I don't care if she's angry or not! Is she going to kill me or something? Always putting on that poker face; I'd actually like to see what she looks like when she's angry!"

Listening to Hong Ling’s distinctly unapproachable tone, Yao Yao and Yi Ren dared not say more. They knew each other too well; Hong Ling’s current attitude clearly indicated... she was in a terrible mood! RQ
