Chapter 2538: Evolving Relationship

Zi Jing did not deny Lu Yin's allegation. After several near-death experiences, the temptation of having a Progenitor submit to her had been enough to shift her personality.

Lu Yin stared off into outer space as he considered things. "How much longer until the antimatter particle sequence is developed?"

Zi Jing shook her head. "I can't answer that. It could go fast or slow. This research has already been divided into several dozen areas, and all of the Transcendent Universe’s greatest minds have been put on this project. The Energy Research Group I was part of was supposedly disbanded, but the truth is that the members were all reassigned to other research groups. The research did not actually stagnate during my absence, and instead was only temporarily paused at a certain stage. With my return, it only took a few months to reach a breakthrough in the research progress.

"This is the fruit of the Transcendent Universe never slacking off over many years. All I actually did was confirm their research."

"Yet without you, no matter how thorough their research, it would have been useless. They can’t conduct an experiment without performing it on an entire universe, and when it comes to analyzing a universe, I don't believe the Transcendent Universe can fully analyze even the smallest universe in a short amount of time," Lu Yin said.

Zi Jing denied nothing.

"Continue as you are. As for how long I'll stay hidden within the Sixverse Association, I’ll head back after I gain a full understanding of them. If possible." Lu Yin smiled. "I'll take this research with me."

The comment did not surprise Zi Jing at all. She understood Lu Yin quite well. "Even if you take the research with you, even if you take the entire research group with you, the Fifth Mainland doesn’t have the ability to complete an experiment. The Fifth Mainland doesn't even have the capability to fully analyze a universe. Even the Transcendent Universe has only managed to analyze itself and the Cloudflow Universe so far, and just those two are already the result of countless years of effort that can be traced back to the time of the Daosource Sect, or even further."

"It doesn't matter. If the Fifth Mainland can't do it, then I'll just get the Transcendent Universe to do it for us," Lu Yin replied as he looked at Zi Jing. "From now on, we are in a cooperative relationship."

Zi Jing looked at Lu Yin. This evolution of their relationship was too sudden, and she needed time to adapt to it. She could also refuse to accept the change and simply continue to help Lu Yin for the time being, and then follow him back to the Fifth Mainland when he returned, holding him to his promise to protect her. Zi Jing believed Lu Yin would keep that promise. However, could she accept that future? She thought back to the excitement of the researchers when the experiment had succeeded, as well as the miserable state of the indigenous creatures of the Cloudflow Universe, the powerful Cloudflow’s despair, and the perfect woman’s words.
