Chapter 981: Chapter 85: Till We Meet Again Chapter 981: Chapter 85: Till We Meet Again Link didn’t wait.

“I” kicked Link’s consciousness out of the wondrous space that was immensely vast and yet immensely small before making a choice.

Immediately, Link and Jasmine awoke simultaneously from the “Soul Seizing” Magic Tool.

The Element Sage was not there, Mr. Xu Jing was not there, Lotson, Frist, Medici, and Elise Clark were also not there.

Link and Jasmine stepped out of the sleeping chamber of the “Soul Seizing” Magic Tool, embraced gently for a while, then left.

Taking out the best and most expensive foreign trade version of a starship from the civilization of immortals that he had wheedled from Lotson, Link took Jasmine towards the passage of the two universes.

After the starship had been traveling for a good while, Jasmine finally spoke up, “Is it all over just like that?”

“It’s all over.”

Link nodded, then vaguely explained, “This matter, in essence, had to be cleverly resolved.”

“Mhm.”

Jasmine also nodded, didn’t ask anything more, nor did she say anything further.

She just rested her head gently on Link’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep, feeling completely at ease.

This “Soul Seizing” journey into the remnants of Buddhism culture, although it didn’t help Link much in substance, still made Jasmine very happy.

Because she didn’t let Link face the pressure alone once again.

Because this time she stood by Link’s side, fighting shoulder to shoulder.

Link raised his right hand, gently wrapped it around Jasmine’s body, and also fell into a deep sleep.

The starship sailed for as long as they slept, quietly together.

They were doing nothing but accompanying each other, quietly sharing sleep.

One month later, the starship arrived at the passage between the two universes, and Link and Jasmine woke up together once again.

Side by side, they stepped out of the starship and immediately encountered Elise Clark.

“You two are not being fair.”

Upon meeting, Elise spoke with an annoyed tone, “For so long, not a single message sent, not a single message returned. If I weren’t paying attention, I wouldn’t even know when you’d arrive.”

Link smiled without a word.

Jasmine, however, let go of Link’s arm and went forward to embrace Elise.

The two girls quickly stepped aside, whispering secrets to each other, not bothering to include Link.

“How does it feel?”

Lotson’s voice suddenly appeared at Link’s ear.

“What exactly?”

Link smiled while feigning ignorance in his response.

Lotson waved his hand in front of Link as if to say, “You can’t fool me with that innocent act, little brother,” but verbally he asked, “How does it feel to finally let go of all your burdens?”

Link smiled brightly, “Relaxed. Unprecedentedly relaxed!”

“That’s good then.”

Lotson’s face also lit up with a brilliant smile as he echoed the sentiment, then shortly after inquired, “What plans do you have next?”

“Rest for a while,” Link responded thoughtfully, “I’ve been burdened for such a long time that my thoughts have become chaotic, my mind tense, and my actions without a proper method.”

“How long will you rest?”

“I don’t know. Maybe a long time, maybe just a day or two?”

“Hmm.”

Upon reaching this point in the conversation, Lotson fell silent, abruptly turned around, waved goodbye, and left.

Smiling, Link watched Lotson walk into the starlight, raising his right hand high and waving energetically.

From this gesture, Link deduced that “I” in the end still accepted the choice given by the remnants of Buddhist culture.

Either to achieve “Buddha Maitreya” or to become “Mother Peacock Ming King.”

People related to “me,” like Elise Clark, would from now on truly be independent.

People like Lotson would clear their last obstacles and regain their Saint Position.

This trip into the depths of the starlight was to amass resources before making a leap to become a Saint.

The next time they met, they could no longer relate as brothers sharing a bargain.

Nor could they address each other as reincarnated Saints.

They would have to address each other respectfully as Saints.

Jasmine and Elise’s whispering came to an end at that moment.

Hand in hand, they walked back.

“Returning her to you.”

Elise raised Jasmine’s left hand she was holding and presented it to Link, “Hold tight, don’t let go.”

Link took Jasmine’s left hand, held it tightly, and then asked, “Where do you plan to go?”

“To do what I should be doing,” Elise’s eyes were looking in the direction Link and Jasmine had come from, a Level Seven Great Sage aura becoming apparent, “There are many people waiting for me.”

Jasmine opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something, but then swallowed her words.

Link frowned slightly, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

Elise nodded calmly, her tone firm as she repeated, “I’m sure!”

Link pondered for a moment, then relaxed his frown, “As long as you’re sure. Do what you want to do, don’t be like me, always doing what you don’t want to do.”

“Mm.”

Elise replied, “Thanks for the advice, I will remember it well.”

After saying this, Elise walked past Link and Jasmine, heading the way they originally came.

Link and Jasmine turned around to watch.

After walking a distance, just as she was about to board her starship, Elise stopped, not looking back, but shouted loudly, “I’m glad to have known you, remember me, remember my name…

Elise.

Elise Clark.”

With those words, Elise’s figure disappeared.

Soon after, the starship started up, vanishing into the depths of starlight.

“Let’s go too,” Jasmine suddenly said.

“Yes, let’s go back,” Link agreed, then, holding Jasmine’s hand, headed for the passage between the two universes.

Some arrangement must have been made, for Link and Jasmine did not wait long before they were able to enter a passage used internally by the Supreme Council.
