72. We hope you will join us.
Soon, Ji Yuan's senses returned to the universe where his main body was located.
His first feeling was emptiness, extreme emptiness, as if his body had been hollowed out.
Along with it came a sense of goodwill emanating from the universe.
"No, what did you do with my power?"
Ji Yuan's face immediately darkened, and he was utterly speechless.
He had a vague feeling that the "travel expenses" for using the Web of Life were actually not that high, and it was more like some being had taken his power and used it to maintain the Web of Life.
As if sensing Ji Yuan's displeasure, a mysterious force told him that there would be compensation in the future.
Now I'm even more at a loss for words. They've already started making empty promises, saying there will be compensation later. How long later is "later"?
Well, Ji Yuan didn't care about that anymore. The goal had been achieved. The biggest gain was the channel anchored to the Web of Life. This thing would be of great help in studying stable travel through the multiverse.
Furthermore, the recovery of one's own power is very mysterious; sleeping is equivalent to recovery, and the concept of light can also lead to rapid recovery.
In a sense, he has far greater vitality than any dimensional demon god. Whether it is physical light or conceptual light, as long as there is light, he is immortal. He is incredibly sinister.
The moment his consciousness returned to his body, Ji Yuan first felt a strange sense of weightlessness, as if he were floating in the air.
He then suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wanda holding him up, her face filled with terror and tears in her eyes.
"Damn it, I'm so weak I could barely take off."
He quickly regained some strength and landed safely on the ground.
Wanda stammered, "Mr. Ji Yuan, what... what's going on?"
She was now wondering if she was dreaming or hallucinating; how could a person be held in someone's hand as if they had no weight?
Ji Yuan gave an awkward laugh. Who would have thought that his power would be stolen, leaving him completely drained? He said, "If I said I was Superman and just went to save the world, would you believe me?"
Wanda rubbed her eyes and said, "I believe you, you are Superman."
She doesn't care about being a superhero or anything like that, as long as she's alive.
Ji Yuan didn't care whether Wanda believed him or not. He desperately needed to sleep to recover his strength, so he said, "Wanda, I need to sleep to recover my strength. I need to sleep for at least 24 hours. I'll tell you the details after I wake up."
"If you need anything, you can ask Jarvis and Bronsky. I'm heading back now."
After saying that, Ji Yuan quickly returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell into a deep sleep, rapidly recovering his strength.
After he fell asleep, Wanda came to the room several times, checking his breathing and listening to his heartbeat to make sure he was really alive before leaving with a little relief.
Ji Yuan, who never dreams, actually had a dream during this recovery.
In the dream, there was a being whose face was indistinct. It said, "Thank you for your contribution to maintaining the structure of the multiverse. We hope you will join us."
Although Ji Yuan was dreaming, his perception of the dream was very clear. Before he could ask who it was, the faceless being disappeared.
He couldn't help but wonder who the visitor was.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a specific guess, but what I was sure of was that the other one was more powerful than I am now.
Entering dreams is something the strong use against the weak.
There's no use thinking about it now. We'll probably know who it is when it evolves again.
However, it is a long and arduous task. The evolution progress on the data panel is only 1% at present, which is why Ji Yuan is thinking of disposing of the corpse in the multiverse.
We really can't keep up with this; the evolutionary progress is just not going to be able to keep up.
...
Sure enough, he slept for exactly twenty-four hours, and his strength was fully restored.
Feeling the power within his body, Ji Yuan opened his eyes and prepared to get up. He quickly stopped in mid-air as soon as he stood up, because if he had reacted any slower, he would have hit his head on the ceiling.
Wanda was sitting to the side, holding a cell phone. The timer on the screen showed exactly 24 hours, not a minute more or less.
Wanda exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Ji Yuan, you're not lying to me, it really is twenty-four hours."
Ji Yuan leaned back in his chair and said, "Why would I lie to you? Did anything unusual happen while I was gone?"
Wanda shook her head and said, "No, everything is the same as usual."
In fact, during these days of observation, more and more refugees were gathering at the base, but the distribution of supplies did not decrease at all, and the rebels did not dare to approach the base.
It's understandable that the rebels don't dare to come, but what Wanda can't understand the most is where the supplies are coming from. So many days have passed, and she has never seen any vehicles transporting supplies, but the supplies in the basement are still plentiful.
Furthermore, Ji Yuan's room was very spacious, with no place to hide anything, so where did all that food come from?
She was very curious about this.
"Is there anything you want to ask?" Ji Yuan asked.
Wanda's eyes darted around, but instead of asking a question, she said, "I want to eat strawberry cake."
Ji Yuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected that they would ask for cake. However, there was no cake in the room right now; the cakes were all in the refrigerator in Hell's Kitchen.
However, considering that Wanda would have to learn magic sooner or later, it wouldn't matter if she knew about magic now.
So Ji Yuan gently drew a circle in the air with his finger.
To Wanda's astonishment, a faintly glowing opening appeared in the air, leading to the refrigerator on the other side.
Ji Yuan smiled and took a cake from inside and handed it to Wanda.
Wanda's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape. She instinctively took the cake, then exclaimed incredulously, "What... what is this?"
What happened yesterday and today has undoubtedly shattered her worldview.
"This is magic." Ji Yuan smiled faintly. Wanda's chaos magic is still in an unstable state and will only erupt in times of crisis. He plans to awaken her after completely clearing the darkness from Wanda's heart.
Imagine a top-tier magical talent, equipped with the theoretically strongest magical tome—how powerful would Wanda become?
Moreover, with Ji Yuan's support, her future is promising, truly promising!
"Magic?" Wanda asked doubtfully. "Does magic really exist in this world?"
During her most difficult days, she prayed that if she had magic, she and Pietro wouldn't go hungry, and she could save her hometown.
Wanda asked hopefully, "Can I learn it?"
Ji Yuan shook his head.
Wanda visibly became disheartened.
Ji Yuan smiled and said, "If you trust me, then wait a little longer."
Wanda's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
