Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 754: The White Sword's Decisive Move

...
"What are you saying? Li Qingran plans to head to a miniature world for some training?!"
The Sword Bearer creased his forehead while glaring at the enormous golden eye.
What on earth had transpired?
For what reason would she suddenly dash off to a miniature world just to train?
Li Qingran served as the karmic link that he had deliberately set up for Chen Huaian. One could argue that absent Li Qingran acting as the spark, he wouldn't have managed to identify the precise world where Chen Huaian resided. Moreover, it was exactly due to the intensifying karmic tie between Chen Huaian and Li Qingran that he could smoother guide the Cangyun Realm closer to Earth Star.
Yet, with the Cangyun Realm's resources dwindling more and more, the bond to the Small Thousand Worlds had inevitably grown frail.
At present, even though resource scarcity is easing thanks to abundant Celestial Jade Marrow...
The Cangyun Realm draws nearer to Earth Star, drifting ever farther from those Small Thousand Worlds...
In the past, amid the Cangyun Realm's resource drain, the Dimensional Gate couldn't reliably direct a traveler to any specific Small World.
With the Small Thousand Worlds now severed from the Cangyun Realm, the Dimensional Gate's ability to dispatch anyone to a Small Thousand World remains in serious doubt.
For the merging of these two worlds, Li Qingran holds utmost significance.
She plays an equal vital role in mastering Chen Huaian.
Prior to the full merging of the worlds, Li Qingran has to stay alive and secure. No errors can occur.
Thus, upon hearing this update, his immediate thought was that complications arose.
Still, every demand hides a root cause. Grasping the true motive behind the requester's desire allows for crafting the ideal response.
"Show me whatever foolishness Chen Huaian is scheming this time!"
Before the Sword Bearer, a sand table materialized. He sharpened his focus.
Not peeking was one thing, but one glance sent chills through him.
"How come Chen Huaian is reduced to half his form?!"
"Who dared to wound him in such a manner!!!"
White Sword knit his brows, his gaze brimming with murderous aura.
Chen Huaian must not perish.
Should Chen Huaian fall, the whole scheme crumbles to nothing.
Yet Chen Huaian possesses aid from the Electronic Girlfriend game and a bizarre artifact like the Sect Summoning Token. How did he end up thrashed to this extent?
Upon closer inspection of Chen Huaian's state, he realized the man had invoked a special divine ability.
Right now, his form was regenerating through the Phoenix's Nirvana flames. And it was this very peril that left Li Qingran frustrated and anxious over her power, sparking her resolve to venture into hazardous zones for swift cultivation gains.
[Upper Corpse, do we halt Li Qingran?] The giant golden eyeball transmitted this inquiry.
"This poses a real challenge..." White Sword rubbed his nose bridge.
Chen Huaian faces no grave peril. Three days in the Cangyun Realm will restore him to full strength.
Nevertheless, having brushed death so closely, Li Qingran's will to embark on this trip burns fiercely. Simple excuses won't sway her.
"Li Qingran gaining power isn't always a downside." Following deep reflection, White Sword shaped a plan in his thoughts.
Employing the Electronic Girlfriend game to block Li Qingran from a Small Thousand World would seem overly contrived, risking her doubts.
Chen Huaian isn't dim-witted. Suspicion toward the Electronic Girlfriend game has already taken root in him.
Merely, his current prowess falls short, forcing him to lean on the Electronic Girlfriend game for the moment.
Though distinct beings, they stem from a common origin, lending their traits some overlap.
Should the day arrive when Chen Huaian requires no further aid from it, he'll swiftly step beyond the game's influence.
White Sword held firm conviction on this matter.
Hence, Li Qingran's training expedition to a Small Thousand World demands not obstruction, but enthusiastic backing.
World fusion represents a highly elusive notion.
It doesn't involve realms colliding explosively and merging like amoebas consuming one another, the inferior one falling victim.
The first phase of world fusion involves glimpsing the shadowy outline of the other realm.
The next stage sees these shadows and illusions solidify into tangible forms.
For instance, Earth Star perceives the spectral image of Cangbo Mountain. As integration advances, Cangbo Mountain fully manifests on Earth Star.
In the same vein, Earth Star's surroundings will emerge within the Cangyun Realm.
During this period, beings from both realms gain pathways for interaction.
And those pathways emerge from the 'illusions' shifting from ethereal to solid.
Fusion commences in the Lower Realm, as base energies adapt more readily between worlds.
The toughest integration lies in the Upper Realm. The Cangyun Realm's Upper Realm and Earth Star's Immortal Realm fuse last.
This also heralds a massive conflict.
Currently, White Sword gears up for that colossal battle.
Long ago, eradicating all immortals bolstered his might and secured the Cangyun Realm's endurance.
Today, fostering immortals likewise enhances his power and ensures the Cangyun Realm triumphs in the fusion.
In the midst of that war, monitoring Chen Huaian might prove impossible for him.
Then, Chen Huaian will require a profound ally, one of utter trust, to serve as his guardian.
Who fits better than his bedside companion?
Li Qingran—that's the perfect choice.
Alone, the Moon Shadow Sect falls short in safeguarding Chen Huaian, yet Li Qingran can manage it.
For Li Qingran bears the Cangyun Heavenly Dao's Destiny Energy blessing. She could rise to supremacy over the entire Cangyun Realm.
Unless he intervenes personally, she'd stand as an unmatched cultivator, unbeatable in Cangyun.
White Sword fiddled with the giant golden eyeball.
He seems to command the Heavenly Dao, yet he only wields the instrument governing heaven and earth's laws.
But the Cangyun Realm's origins, the cosmic Dao Rhythms' workings, the cosmic Destiny Energy's selections...
These lie beyond his grasp.
He too exists within this cosmos; he hasn't absorbed the cosmos into his being.
He attempted it once, only to fail.
Surrender isn't an option.
Ascending beyond the world to higher dimensions remains his ultimate aim.
Having mulled over these matters.
White Sword let out an involuntary sigh: "If Li Qingran seeks greater strength, dispatch her to the deadliest Small Thousand World."
The giant golden eyeball flickered, struggling to grasp the intent.
Why would Upper Corpse, desiring the survival of Li Qingran who harbors Destiny Energy, opt for such peril?
"Never underestimate Li Qingran. She emerged from our Heavenly Secrets divination as a key figure. As someone pivotal to both worlds' fates, she won't perish lightly in threats... Plus, the Electronic Girlfriend game remains at hand."
The Sword Bearer gave a cold huff: "That boy Chen Huaian may lack impressive cultivation, but for Li Qingran, he'd go all out. He'll aid her through trials... On this, we needn't fret. Allow events to unfold naturally."
The giant golden eyeball dipped in agreement.
Having been nearly fully refined by White Sword, it followed his lead without question.
It merely proposed ideas from time to time.
With White Sword's choice set, it turned to devising how best to relay the directive to the Electronic Girlfriend system.
"One more thing." White Sword paused in thought, then continued: "With resources flowing into the Cangyun Realm, bolster ties to the Small Thousand Worlds. Draw them into the fusion with Earth Star at the same time. Plus, the Small Thousand Worlds can yield numerous immortals.
The Upper Realm lies desolate now, without even menial workers.
Haul up every Small Thousand World. Force all those ancestors and ancient beasts to ascend and labor under me!"
