Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Princess Rayami
Alana slowly shook her head.
"It’s not that I don’t want to become one..."
Then she opened her eyes and looked directly at Felix.
Over the past few days, she had already pieced together bits of information from Ivy and the others.
She now understood something terrifying. Superior beings lived far longer than humans.
Even if she did not survive for three hundred years, she would still likely live for at least two centuries.
Her fingers unconsciously tightened slightly around Felix’s clothes.
During those hundreds of years... Felix would eventually grow old and disappear.
But she would remain alone. The mere thought caused unbearable sadness to fill her chest.
Her eyes gradually became moist before she whispered softly,
"During those two hundred years... you won’t be beside me anymore. I don’t think I can endure something like that."
Hearing those words, Felix fell silent.
After all, none of them truly knew what Ivy would need to sacrifice in order to transform Alana into a superior being.
The process itself was mysterious and dangerous, and there was no guarantee that Ivy would even be capable of repeating it multiple times.
Still, Felix understood one thing very clearly.
Right now, perhaps Ivy was willing to make sacrifices for Alana because Silas’s life was hanging by a thread. However, would she make another sacrifice later for Felix, too?
Nobody knew the answer.
Alana remained silent for a very long time.
Her eyes stayed lowered while countless thoughts battled inside her mind.
Finally, she softly whispered,
"I’ve made my decision."
Felix slowly looked toward her.
Even though worry filled his eyes, his expression remained gentle.
"Whatever you’re thinking... just remember something."
He carefully held her hands before continuing,
"Even if we only get to live together for a hundred years, that would already be enough."
Alana’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
Felix smiled faintly.
"We can create countless memories during those years. After that... you can simply move on and find happiness again."
The moment he said those words, Alana instantly choked on her tears.
Her eyes reddened immediately.
However, Felix continued speaking softly despite the pain hidden inside his own heart.
"Even if I die one day, our daughters would still remain beside you, right? Then later, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren would accompany you, too. So honestly... living for two hundred years doesn’t sound like such a terrible deal."
A small teasing smile appeared on his lips despite the heavy atmosphere.
"You’re basically getting a bargain. I won’t even be around a hundred years later to complain about it."
The moment those words left his mouth, Alana could no longer hold back her emotions.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she immediately stepped forward and tightly hugged Felix.
Meanwhile, Ivy remained waiting desperately near Silas’s bedside.
Her restless eyes continuously drifted toward the clock hanging on the wall.
Every passing second felt unbearable.
When only two minutes remained before the decided time, footsteps suddenly echoed from the hallway.
Alana had arrived. The moment Ivy saw her, she hurriedly stood up and almost stumbled toward her in panic.
Her voice trembled anxiously. "Have you made your decision?"
Alana immediately frowned slightly before speaking. "Stand up first."
Only then did Ivy realize she had unconsciously fallen onto her knees again.
She quickly stood up.
The next second, Alana took a deep breath before quietly saying, "I’m ready."
The moment Ivy heard those words, relief instantly overwhelmed her.
Tears of joy uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Her breathing became uneven while sobs escaped her throat, yet nobody mocked her for it.
Everyone understood just how desperate she had been moments ago.
Fortunately, Ivy had already purchased a transformation manual from Temporal Storage beforehand.
What surprised her the most was that Temporal Storage had not raised the price at all despite the urgency of the situation.
Instead, it sold the transformation manual for only ten million points.
At that moment, Ivy genuinely felt grateful from the bottom of her heart.
Not only toward Temporal Storage, but even more toward Alana.
Meanwhile, far away from them, someone else was quietly reporting everything to another person.
That person was Tammy.
Tammy slowly opened her eyes before using a secret communication method to establish contact with Princess Rayami.
Princess Rayami was Tammy’s true superior.
Officially, Tammy belonged to the imperial faction, meaning all of her actions and movements should have been reported to Princess Catalina, the woman overseeing the empire’s intelligence and military departments.
However, in reality, Tammy had secretly aligned herself with Princess Rayami long ago.
Soon, the connection was successfully established.
A beautiful woman with cold silver eyes appeared within Tammy’s vision.
The moment the communication stabilized, Tammy immediately began reporting everything.
She spoke about the mysterious system.
Yes, they had heard the mechanical voice in Silas’s mind.
After hearing the entire report, Princess Rayami’s expression gradually turned cold.
"That bitch cannot be allowed to live."
Her voice carried terrifying killing intent.
There was already intense competition for the throne among the royal heirs.
If another terrifying genius like Ivy appeared, especially one possessing such abnormal growth potential, Rayami’s standing would inevitably suffer greatly.
As that thought crossed her mind, her expression darkened further.
Then she calmly spoke to Tammy again.
"That system is most likely controlled by one of our enemies. It probably originated from one of the planets we’ve previously conquered. Someone must have already learned about our plans regarding Earth, so they secretly sent the system here to interfere."
Hearing those words, Tammy immediately nodded in agreement.
After all, a high-level system with such terrifying capabilities could not appear out of nowhere.
Someone powerful had to be backing it.
Princess Rayami then continued, "But for now, you need to alter the plan slightly."
Afterward, she began giving Tammy several additional instructions.
Once she finished, Rayami paused briefly before speaking in a colder tone.
"I’m trusting you by allowing you to occupy Ivy’s body eventually. But once you’ve had your fun, I want that body returned to me. Am I understood clearly?"
The moment those words were spoken, a terrifying wave of pressure instantly descended upon Tammy.
