Chapter 2048
“Ling’er.” Tianming slowly descended, reaching a height no one else had dared to other than Feiling. His face was practically pasted against the water’s surface, and his robes had already dipped inside.
The lake’s surface was like a mirror. The face it showed was Tianming’s own, a face with black and gold pupils, a maturing appearance, a profound gaze, and unconcealable longing. His hands touched the lake, feeling the water’s coolness. His nose also touched the water, making droplets travel along its bridge that made him look like he was crying.
“Don’t go in!” Xiaoxiao’s anxious voice was growing tinier.
Kunlan Realm’s water had already crawled all over Tianming.
The reflection of his eyes was filled with the pain of longing. “Ling’er, will I ever be able to see you again in this life?” The water droplets on his face looked like tears and his hands that were touching the lake shook. Tianming had never felt so bad.
Suddenly, his eyes widened. The reflection also vanished and a beautiful image formed in the depths of the lake. She quickly arrived in front of Tianming.
Ten slender, snow-white fingers broke the surface of the lake and interlaced with Tianming’s own. A peerlessly beautiful face appeared. She smiled, revealing her dimples and her nose met Tianming’s as well.
“I’ve missed you, Big Brother.” Her voice, clear and gentle, entered Tianming’s ears. The mist and water droplets on Tianming’s face formed a distinct contrast with her smiling face. The girl in the water’s dress fluttered, like she was flying. She was like a blue butterfly, mesmerizing to the eyes.
“I missed you too.” Tianming’s heart quickly melted as he looked at the face that was so near to his. He intended to use his hands to pull her out.
“However, you have to wait for me a while longer. I’ll give it my all to come out alive to see you again,” she said as Tianming used his strength.
Tianming’s hands left the lake, bringing only water with them. The lakewater spilled out between his fingers, returning to the lake.
There was nothing left but water ripples in front of him. It had simply been a fantasy.
“Ling’er!” Tianming’s heart suddenly felt empty. He had believed that she had returned just now, but it was simply an illusion. “Calm down! Calm down! She’s waiting for me!” He breathed in great, heaving breaths, calming himself down. Although she hadn’t returned yet, she was still alive and had given him hope.
“Ling’er..” Tianming’s heart returned to a peaceful state and he also gained a new strong hope and belief. “She’s staying strong, so I can’t be the one who gives up.” His eyes stared into the lake’s surface.
“Li Tianming, look at it from over here!” Xiaoxiao’s voice was finally clear.
“Eh?” Tianming turned his head and saw her waving at him. He flew over and landed on the lake bank.
“There’s an image!” Xiaoxiao agitatedly said.
Tianming looked over and realized the mist above the lake was roiling as it formed the image of a scene. “This is the information Ling’er is sending me!” He hadn’t been able to see it while he was within the mist.
“That looks like a city.” Xiaoxiao pointed in a certain direction.
“Yes, it’s Perpetia City! I see her!” The mist had formed a snow-white city. There was a figure with wings flying above the city. The wings endlessly expanded and shone with various colors. Every feather seemed to be a complete wing itself. She seemed to be fighting. Who was her opponent?
Tianming suddenly noticed a rotating black pillar opposite the city. It looked hollow, like a well. A black leech-like bug crawled out from the well. Using the city as a point of reference, it must have been massive.
“That’s the Well of Reincarnation!” a voice said from within Xiaoxiao’s lifebound space.
"How do you know?" Tianming hurriedly asked.
"I don't know. The name just popped up in my head," the Archaionfiend said.
"What’s it doing?" Tianming anxiously asked.

"Who knows?" the Archaionfiend heartlessly answered.
"What do you know then?"
“That bug is a cyclic bug. They eat aberrations that aren’t in the cycle of reincarnation. I seem to remember being chased by one before,” the Archaionfiend said.
“Anything else?”
“No! Unhappy? If I knew, would I be wasting words with you and hiding in some godforsaken place like this?” the Archaionfiend sniggered. It was still the same as always, acting like it deserved a beating.
The cyclic bug that had crawled out immediately focused its attention on Feiling.
This was just an image formed from mist. It was sometimes clear and sometimes didn’t even have color. Tianming could only continue watching.
The cyclic bug crawled onto the city, battling Feiling as it tried gnawing on the buildings.
Then the mist shifted and the scene changed!
Tianming clearly saw Feiling being swallowed up by the cyclic bug. The bug triumphantly roared, then grew countless short legs and began crawling back toward the well.
“Haha, she’s done for!” The Archaionfiend roared with laughter.
“Shut up!” Xiaoxiao immediately activated the Bloodrose Curse, making it shriek in pain. However, that didn’t change how Tianming and Xiaoxiao felt like a knife was being twisted in their hearts.
Suddenly, the white mist in the form of the cyclic bug burst apart, revealing a colorful divine light. Like a caterpillar breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, a pair of radiant wings spread out. Feiling had survived.
The mist that was formerly the bug gathered together and shrank down, forming a pink crystal in her hand. It was difficult to imagine that ugly leech-like creature turning into something so pure and flawless.
“Wait a moment!” Tianming looked at the pink crystal before looking at the city walls. The walls were inlaid with at least tens of thousands of such crystals! “That means Feiling has killed tens of thousands of cyclic bugs already.…” He was stunned.
“Monster! That woman’s a monster, killing even cyclic bugs!” the Archaionfiend yelped, shaken. It was the one that was the most frightened of Feiling.
However, this scene had let Tianming relax. “I have to wait for her!”
At that moment, the small egg inside his lifebound space suddenly came out and faced the pink crystals on the city walls.
“Jijijiji!” It let out noises as it excitedly looked at Feiling and her pink crystals.
Tianming was startled. Was this yet another Primordial Chaos Beast linked to the Lord of Perpetia? Or was it linked to the cyclic bugs?
