Chapter 105.1: The Truth With Edaline (1)
The crystal lift descended rapidly.
In the lift that could theoretically only accommodate a single person, Rayne hugged Edaline and stuck close to this sister of his.
"My head kinda hurts..."
Edaline rubbed her forehead and said softly.
For some reason, her head felt increasingly uncomfortable as the lift descended into the depths of the crystal world.
For some reason, this unfamiliar crystal world gave Edaline a sense of déjà vu.
It was as though she had been here before.
A strong but inexplicable feeling surged in Edaline's body, as though something hidden in the depths of her body was about to awaken.
In reality, the pain was not something that Edaline could not endure.
However, what truly tortured her was that as the mysterious emotions in her soul intensified, her body seemed to be breaking free from her control.
"I can't take it anymore..."
Edaline grumbled softly, "Why did you bring me to this godforsaken place for no reason without even explaining why to me? Rayne... what are you trying to do?"
Rayne looked at his sister in his embrace tenderly. He felt that it was time to reveal the entire truth.
Rayne said, "Edaline, I have a question for you."
Edaline replied, "Ask whatever you want..."
Rayne: "Do you think there's really a possibility that there can be a demigod with a bloodline purity of more than 90% in this world?"
Edaline: "..."
Edaline fell silent and her expression turned complicated.
She had always known that something like that was extremely ridiculous.
It was not that she and Histia had not thought of this question.
However...
So...
Rayne was doing this for her the entire time?!
Edaline stared at Rayne in disbelief with a trembling gaze. "So, Rayne... that's the reason why you brought me here. Are you actually... trying to help me?"
Rayne smiled. "You'll be fine."
"Idiot...!"
Emotions surged in Edaline's heart and she suddenly wanted to cry.
She pressed herself tightly against Rayne's chest and whispered, "You should have told me earlier. I thought that you were just asking me to work for free... I even scolded you so many times in my heart."
Rayne was exasperated. "You're the one with a personality flaw for scolding me, isn't it? How is that my fault?"
Edaline said, "Fine... it's my fault. I apologize to you."
Rayne sighed. "After all, this matter is too difficult for you to accept. Therefore, instead of telling you the truth, I thought it was better for me to find an excuse to trick you over first."
Rayne understood Edaline's character. She was a strong-willed child. If she knew that Rayne was helping her, she would not accept his goodwill so easily.
However, if she was the one helping him, no matter how much Edaline resisted, she would not abandon her brother who was asking her for help.
That was the reason why Rayne only divulged the matter in its entirety now that he had reached the final step with Edaline and they were about to begin the divinity division operation.
After knowing the truth, Edaline was silent for a long time. At that moment, she no longer had her usual arrogance and merely leaned into Rayne's embrace obediently.
"Don't lie to me anymore in the future."
Edaline said gently, "No matter what happens to you, just tell me... I'll help you."
"Yes."
Rayne added softly in his mind.
If there's a future, that is.
At that moment, the lift had reached the end.
The lift doors opened and a cramped crystal cabin appeared before Rayne.
The cabin was lined with a large number of electron pipelines and there were machine chambers made of crystals on both sides.
In the middle of the machine chambers and the pipelines, there was a sealed cabin that could accommodate a single person.
