Coma? System upgrade!

Unknown space.

Staring at the scene before him, Su Bai was deeply shocked.

That faceless light figure… what exactly was it?!

“What… what is this?” Su Bai couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The Ruler of Destiny didn't answer.

Because… he didn't know either!

Just as the two of them were pondering, the faceless light figure suddenly moved!

In the image, he raised his right hand and pointed into the air, his target… surprisingly… the unknown space where Su Bai and the Ruler of Destiny were located!!!

“This… this is bad!”

“We’ve been discovered!!”

“Poof!!!” Realizing this, the Ruler of Destiny quickly spat out a large mouthful of vital blood, attempting to forcibly close the image using the Origin within his body.

However, the power of that faceless light figure was too immense; even though the Ruler of Destiny tried his best, the space-time barrier was still breached!

The next moment, a purple divine light shot out from the faceless light figure’s fingertip, piercing through the world barrier at a speed transcending space and time, and striking… Su Bai’s glabella!

Seeing this, the Ruler of Destiny was greatly alarmed and shouted:

“child!!!”

Soon, a series of System prompts rang out in Su Bai’s mind:

“~Ding, congratulations, Host, you have acquired advanced Power of Destiny Law!”

“~Ding, congratulations, Host, you have acquired [Destiny Crystal]!”

“~Ding, detected that Host possesses [Destiny Crystal]…”

“~Ding, automatically consuming [Destiny Crystal]!”

“~Ding, consumption successful!”

“~Ding, friendly reminder: energy sufficient, System upgrading!”

“~Ding, System prompt: myriad heavens destiny system is upgrading…”

“~Ding, this upgrade is estimated to cost: ????????”

“~Ding, friendly reminder: Host, please note that all functions will be temporarily closed during the System upgrade! They will automatically reopen after the upgrade is successful!”

“~Ding, my dear Host, bye-bye~ mua~~”

Immediately after, Su Bai’s vision went black, and he lost consciousness… Xia Family.

Villa area.

Living room.

At this moment, Xia Qingyan and her mother walked into the living room, carrying dishes.

“Deang!”

After placing the last dish on the dining table, Ye Lingshuang smiled.

Looking at Su Bai “sleeping” on the sofa, she said with affection:

“Alright! Mission accomplished!”

“Qingyan, wake Su Bai up, let’s have lunch together!”

“This child…”

“He Cultivates too diligently; he’s so tired he fell asleep on the sofa.”

“He’s about to become a Human Race Great Emperor…”

“He must be under a lot of pressure, right?!”

Hearing this, Xia Qingyan blushed and nodded.

She prepared to go forward and wake up the “sleeping” Su Bai.

“Sister, sister, let Xiaoya do it!”

However, before she could step forward, Su Xiaoya, bouncing and skipping, ran to the sofa, grabbed Su Bai’s hand, and shook it.

“Su Bai Gege, wake up! Wake up! Time to eat!”

However, Su Bai showed no reaction.

Seeing his lack of response, Su Xiaoya was a little puzzled.

Tilting her head, she let out a soft “Eh?”:

“Eh? Su Bai Gege…”

“Why is there no reaction???”

Then she increased the intensity of her shaking, continuously calling out:

“Su Bai Gege, Su Bai Gege~, get up!”

Seeing this, Xia Qingyan and her mother exchanged glances.

They both saw the solemnity in each other’s eyes.

Because, generally speaking,

Su Bai, as a top Awakened One with strength reaching the ninth rank… would be able to detect even the slightest disturbance around him.

Thereby automatically exiting his “sleep” state.

But now… Xia Qingyan stepped forward and reached out to feel Su Bai’s breath.

The next second, her face turned incredibly pale.

“Mom, Su Bai… his breath is very weak!”

As she spoke, Xia Qingyan’s voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, she completely forgot that she was once the Ice Phoenix Empress, forgot to use an Empress’s perspective to judge Su Bai’s true state.

Her hand lingered at Su Bai’s nose for a moment, and in the end… she confirmed… that she… had not made a mistake.

She discovered in horror that Su Bai’s breathing was extremely weak, so weak that it was almost imperceptible, as if it could disappear at any moment.

Her heart sank, and countless possibilities flashed through her mind.

But each one made her feel uneasy.

At the same time, it made her feel puzzled and confused.

What on earth was the reason?

Su Bai… he was clearly just resting on the sofa… just now… he was still chatting with her mother… how could he suddenly faint… “Hmm? How could this be?” Ye Lingshuang quickly walked to Su Bai’s side and placed her hand on his wrist, trying to feel his pulse.

However, her expression quickly turned solemn as well.

Xia Qingyan’s judgment was correct; Su Bai’s pulse was indeed so weak it was almost imperceptible, as if his life force was rapidly draining away.

“Mom, Su Bai… is something wrong with him?!”

Her voice carried obvious panic, and her fingers tightly clutched Su Bai’s sleeve, as if this could pull him back from danger.

Ye Lingshuang did not answer immediately, her brows tightly furrowed.

A complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

After a soft sigh, she made a difficult decision.

She decided—

To give Su Bai her precious treasure, the [Heaven and Earth Reversal Medicinal Pill]!

Flipping her palm, a green Medicinal Pill appeared in her hand.

Description: Wow! This is actually a super rare SSS-grade recovery Medicinal Pill! It is said that after consumption, it can immediately restore all injuries and greatly increase the consumer’s basic attributes!

Looking at the green Medicinal Pill in her hand, Ye Lingshuang’s expression was complex.

To be honest, she really felt a bit reluctant.

She didn't have many top-tier Medicinal Pills of such a high SSS-grade.

The one she held now was bestowed upon her when she was a major general, after she led her subordinates to destroy a certain Demon Race secret base and obtained a secret intelligence report from within, which she then submitted.

It was not only extremely valuable but also held special significance for her.

She herself was reluctant to consume it!

However, she had no other choice now.

Emotionally, Su Bai was her daughter’s boyfriend, and she had watched him grow up. Moreover, he was about to get engaged to her daughter.

As Su Bai’s future mother-in-law, she couldn’t stand idly by.

Logically, Su Bai was about to become… a Human Race Great Emperor!

The Emperor Enfeoffment Ceremony was imminent; he absolutely couldn't afford any mishaps!

She even worried that this Medicinal Pill might be ineffective.

Without further hesitation, she immediately fed the Medicinal Pill into Su Bai’s mouth…
