Chapter 240 Part 2: The Morning After, Charlotte’s Questioning, the Essence of Dream Weaver (2)

Chu Yuanqing glanced at the sunlight outside the window and whispered to herself:

"The limit of my soul has been increased. My lifespan has theoretically grown by three months."

"But… while completing the restoration, the pressure on the ‘pure white’ suddenly doubled, making these 90 days just an illusion that continues to decrease at all times."

"So, the actual effect of the last 90 days may only be 9 days, or even lower."

"Moreover, just like the progress of restoring the lantern, there is a diminishing return. Unless a more effective restoration occurs again, the limits of the soul will not be raised, and it won’t affect my lifespan."

In conclusion, restoration may extend life, but the requirements are very strict and the stability is too great.

Chu Yuanqing did not feel disappointed.

Ever since the truth about the ‘Dazzling Stage’ project came to light and Esther extended the invitation to the ‘Lighthouse,’ she has been quite indifferent about the limits of her lifespan.

The authorities have obtained the approximate time for the collapse of the "Pure White." To ensure that nothing unexpected happens, "Dazzling Stage" will certainly announce the final chapter of this project to the whole world before the deadline arrives.

To put it simply, she has decided to die on that stage.

The reason she still cares about her lifespan now is for Charlotte, for her lovely daughter, for the other young idols in the team, and to give humanity a little more time.

However…

Charlotte will probably be very disappointed, right?

Chu Yuanqing looked at the marks left by someone lying on the other side; she gently touched the sheets, still warm to the touch. The person’s fragrance lingered in her nose, like delicate jasmine and fresh morning dew, reminding her of last night’s passionate roses.

It’s so strange; we have only been apart for less than an hour, yet I can’t help but miss you.

…

…

Saint Stephen’s Basilica, the underground central chamber.

This super AI is checking the data, pulling up satellites and various countries to conduct a detailed analysis of the drastic changes happening to Pure White.

Last night, the long-silent Pure White High Wall, which people had gotten used to, suddenly lit up with a wonderful rainbow glow, primarily showing shades of blue, mixed with deep black, cherry pink, and emerald green, creating even more brilliance and resonating with a roaring sound of waves.

This phenomenon was extremely frightening, causing many nations in Donghong Federation and Sacred United Country to collectively go on high alert, ready to activate the worst-case emergency plans, only relaxing from the highest alert when it was determined that it was not a massive collapse before returning light.

Dream Weaver Rabbit has already held a meeting about this change once.

Unfortunately, as in the past, people who cannot understand the source of Disaster also cannot grasp the changing patterns of this miraculous creation called Pure White.

Hmm, in fact, it is difficult for anyone to guess the truth behind it.

After all, in the art of language, it can be described as a pure and innocent young widow finally stepping onto the ladder of adulthood, transforming into a mature wife.

Esther’s serious guess:

"The rate of collapse has slowed down, but it gradually tends to return."

"If the Celestial Office’s Astrolabe did not make any observation mistakes, it is very likely because the one who spoke to me is working hard to buy more time for humanity."

"But if those colorful glows are forces assisting the Pure White to continue suppressing the world, does the sound of the waves reflected around the globe represent the enemy he is fighting against?"

Yesterday, all the witches maintaining the Astrolabe in the Counter-Magic Bureau participated in a huge observation related to the survival of civilization.

This large-scale magical technique carried the blessings of three thousand seven hundred ninety-six flower languages, almost encompassing all the fateful weights represented by witches in Tarot; it can not only observe the fortune and life and death of individual witches but also predict the future, simulate the world, calculate data, and observe destiny to some extent.

Esther, the Dream Weaver, is the underlying logic of this technique. She created a wondrous state where data and magical power coexist using flesh, light, and soul, carrying the blessings of all flower languages and forming the cornerstone of miracles.

Of course, her essence is not just the Astrolabe; it also includes a technological marvel called Dream Weaving. The combination of the two brings the power to coordinate information from around the world and the potential to serve as a link between nations.

Yet, such a creation, during the observation of Pure White last night, foresaw its own future destruction and had to stop midway, regrettably lingering outside the door of truth.

The Dream Weaver understands that the one who created Pure White would never harm humanity; the only thing that could make her sense danger is an element deeply entangled with Pure White yet distinct from it.

That sentence seemed to express a truth, leaving a huge wave of shock in the observer’s mind, and its source must be the first factor leading to the collapse of the [pure white]!

In short, it is an unknown enemy of humanity.

Just as Dream Weaver Rabbit continued to imagine, strange footsteps were heard inside the room.

Charlotte crossed the quantum light cable and glanced at the silver-haired, red-eyed girl in a bunny girl outfit, who was pouting unhappily in the center of countless projections.

"If you can’t give me a reason to work overtime, I will definitely get back at Little Dream with a prank!"

How frustrating! This morning was supposed to be a wonderful time with Little Qing, and I could have seen so many expressions from Honey Qing that she wouldn’t normally show! Now, getting out of bed feels like such a loss.

Besides… besides, after both of us gave our pure selves that night, just to leave immediately is just as bad as not having a honeymoon after the ‘wedding night.’

The bunny ears on Esther’s head twitched. Although she was theoretically unafraid of threats, because it was Charlotte, even as a super AI and magical creation, she still found it very tricky.

After all, Miss Saintess is the kind of person who can create a bunch of strange magic spells when angry. Considering her magical properties related to conceptual systems, regulation-type, and time-space, she could truly bully artificial intelligence.

Charlotte, the scary witch!

The silver-haired girl with red eyes replied calmly:

"I put on the bunny outfit you liked."

Charlotte firmly disagreed:

"Not enough! Although the Little Dream is indeed a beautiful girl, no one can compare to my Honey Qing."

Dream Weaver held back the strange feeling of being force-fed love, and said softly:

"I helped you apply for the permission, and it has been approved. Chu Wang Shu has the permission to hold the Light Stone now."

After hearing this, Charlotte requested an additional endorsement from the gift of "Dazzling Stage" before nodding in satisfaction, saying she reluctantly forgave the annoying Dream Weaver Rabbit.

Esther breathed a sigh of relief, wondering why she had no way of handling Charlotte. She quickly got to the main topic and stated:

"I came to find you because, first, the ‘Pure White’ has changed, and the progress of the ‘Dazzling Stage’ project will be faster, so you need to be mentally prepared in advance."

This is the news that the officials have kept from Charlotte.

Of course, it hasn’t been kept secret for long, since Chu Yuanqing told Dream Weaver Rabbit this news less than a month ago.

Dream Weaver’s tone became a bit serious, and continued:

"Second, because…"

"We have discovered the plans of the Church of the Gods."
