“Brother, do you like it?”
Moli’s beautiful face glowed with anticipation as she eagerly awaited Xu Xi’s response.
“Yes, I like it very much,” Xu Xi said gently, reaching out to pinch his sister’s cheek. “This gift is incredibly helpful. Thank you, Moli.”
His words were sincere, devoid of superficial flattery.
This ti, the update to Eternal Tears that Moli brought was extraordinary. Among all its enhancents, the transformation of the Five Elents Spiritual Roots was the most beneficial to Xu Xi.
Previously, Xu Xi’s wood-based heavenly spiritual root was powerful but limited in scope. Now, it had evolved into a Five Elents Heavenly Spiritual Root, accelerating his cultivation speed by several tis.
Of the three extraordinary systems he practiced—cultivation, magic, and martial arts—his progress in the path of immortality had been the slowest. But with this new enhancent, there was hope that he could surpass his previous limitations. At the very least, it wouldn’t be as sluggish as before.
“As long as you’re happy, Brother. Your happiness ans everything to .” Moli said softly.
Her brother’s joy was her joy.
Seeing his gentle gratitude, she smiled brightly, stepping away with a cheerful bounce in her step.
“Goodnight, Brother,” she said playfully, her eyes reflecting Xu Xi’s face.
Under his watchful gaze, her figure gradually faded until she disappeared into the air.
Perhaps she went back to her room to rest, or perhaps she ventured into the chaotic void to sever worldly ties.
“Goodnight, Moli,” Xu Xi murmured, wondering whether he should talk to his sister about taking proper rest. Her obsession with her grand mission of cutting off worldly entanglents concerned him.
“I hope she listens,” he sighed.
Quietly, Xu Xi closed the door.
With a soft click, the lights in the bedroom turned off, and the warm glow was replaced by the stillness of darkness. Xu Xi lay down, pulling up the quilt and preparing to drift into sleep.
But before he could settle, a knock ca at the door—polite, rhythmic, and deliberate.
“Master , are you awake?”
The witch’s voice was calm and clear, like a gentle river lapping against the shores of the night.
“Krisha?” Xu Xi asked, already guessing her reason for visiting. He got out of bed and opened the door.
As expected, the gray-silver-haired witch stood there, hands folded and her expression as calm as ever.
“Teacher…” she began quietly. “I ca to give you a New Year’s gift…”
The night outside was vast and silent, devouring all sound except for the soft whispers of the witch and the wind’s faint howl.
“Krisha, are you referring to the crown?” Xu Xi asked thoughtfully.
The witch tilted her head, her empty gaze showing a flicker of confusion. A few stray strands of her silvery hair fell over her unusual-colored eyes. The aquamarine glow from the necklace on her chest shimred faintly.
She hadn’t expected Xu Xi to guess her intention.
“Teacher… may I?” Krisha asked hesitantly, her slender fingers brushing against the necklace adorned with countless crowns. A gentle light radiated from it.

Xu Xi stared in awe at the updated description.
“The perception of ti and space isn’t just fixed—it grows stronger every day, and it’s permanent?” he muttered, incredulous.
Even though he had prepared himself for this after the update to Eternal Tears, he still found himself dumbfounded.
Krisha blinked, her voice hesitant. “Master… don’t you like it?”
She had no idea how powerful her gift had beco, and she worried that Xu Xi might dislike it.
“I love it,” Xu Xi reassured her, shaking his head with a smile. “Krisha, this gift is incredibly useful to . Thank you for always thinking of .”
Her aquamarine necklace reflected a soft glow, mirroring her quiet happiness.
“Very well…” she murmured, her youthful face serene as always.
For a fleeting mont, her lips seed to curve into a faint smile, but Xu Xi wasn’t sure. It felt like an illusion—his consciousness and spiritual senses couldn’t confirm it.
“Sorry for disturbing your rest,” Krisha said, retreating with a polite nod. Her gaze lingered briefly on the Eternal Tears before she turned to leave.
“May you be well,” she whispered softly, her words like the lightest breeze.
Krisha disappeared down the dark corridor, the faint sound of a door closing marking her return to her room.
Now alone, Xu Xi no longer felt as sleepy. He glanced down at his “equipnt”: Eternal Tears on his left wrist, Dust Starlight on his right, and the Supre Crown around his neck.
These three supre items, gifts from three extraordinary won, empowered him in ways beyond imagination.
“Have I gone too far?” he wondered aloud, hesitating.
What had once been re tools for nurical enhancent had now grown into chanisms of unparalleled power. Across all planes and tilines, Xu Xi felt like he could stride unchallenged.
“Soft rice flow… is truly terrifying,” he mused, both amazed and overwheld.
