The End of the World: Chaos

Yang Yi sat in a quiet laboratory, with numerous instruments and materials scattered on the table. The faint light shone through the window lattice onto his body, revealing a tired and focused look on his face. After a whole day, Yang Yi finally gained a preliminary understanding of the mystery of the Soul Gem.

"Yang Yi, are you okay?" Li Wenjing gently pushed the door open and saw that he was immersed in his work, so she couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Well, Wen Jing, I'm going to think about this matter soon." Yang Yi raised his head slowly, his eyes flashing with excitement, "The power of this soul gem is far more complicated than I expected. Although its essence can be analyzed within a day, the secrets within it may take more time to explore."

"I know you've always been addicted to this, but you still need to take care of your health." Li Wenjing walked over to his side and reminded him softly, "You've been working for a whole day, you should take a break and have a meal."

Yang Yi smiled helplessly and stood up to tidy up the clutter on the table. "I understand, but it is still a step away from the final result. I think if I persist for a while longer, I can complete it." Speaking of the Soul Gem, he couldn't help but ponder his previous discovery.

"You are really naughty." Li Wenjing pouted with displeasure, "Don't you have anything else to think about besides scientific research? When we first met, we played together every day or watched movies together, but now we are all in the laboratory. I am really worried."

"Haha, Wen Jing, what you said makes sense, but this fact is more important." Yang Yi was deeply concerned and smiled slightly. "The Soul Gem is closely related to many things and affects our future. I think mastering the power of this gem can bring us closer to the unknown star field."

Li Wenjing sighed, with a look of disappointment in his eyes, "I understand, but if you keep pursuing it, you will end up sick from overwork!" His voice sounded particularly gentle in the empty laboratory.

Yang Yi was silent for a moment, then he realized that he had ignored the feelings of the people around him. "I'm sorry, Wen Jing, I have never considered the relationship between you and me. Maybe taking a short break and going out for a walk will help me think more clearly."

"Then it's settled! Come quickly, I'll take you to taste delicious food." Li Wenjing smiled brightly, took Yang Yi's hand and walked out.

The two walked on the street, the night breeze gently blowing on their faces. Li Wenjing seemed to sense the tension in Yang Yi's heart and asked softly, "Yang Yi, how is the research on the soul gem going?"

"It's OK. I have analyzed its two forms." Yang Yi paused, thinking of his previous discovery, and excitedly said, "One is the form of an ordinary gemstone, which is extremely stable; the other is its unique form on a certain planet, as if it is an existence beyond the soul."

"Existence beyond the soul?" Li Wenjing asked curiously, with a puzzled gleam in his eyes.

"However, I have never fully understood what that form is." Yang Yi frowned slightly, "But I can sense that this form seems to be different from the nature of the soul. Its deep-level nature can even be called a high-level existence."

Li Wenjing thought for a moment and realized that this was an incredible discovery. "In this case, we need more in-depth information! Perhaps the literature on this special form can help you understand it better."

"Yes, Wenjing, you always see the key!" Yang Yi's eyes flashed with admiration, and he held Li Wenjing's hand, "I am so lucky to have you by my side."

After dinner, Yang Yi and Li Wenjing strolled in the park, with the breeze blowing and the stars twinkling. They decided to take a break and sit on a bench.

"Yang Yi, I want to ask you, do you really intend to master the power of the Soul Gem?" Li Wenjing asked seriously.

Yang Yi sighed slightly, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, "However, it is not just for himself, but also for us and the future... Its power can bring countless possibilities, but it also hides dangers. To be able to control this power is not only a matter of skill, but also a test of the soul."

"If you can bring benefits to all living beings, I will support you." Li Wenjing suddenly said, "But I still hope that we can go hand in hand on this journey."

"I never thought you would say this." Yang Yi looked at her with emotion, "Having you by my side makes me feel more courageous to face everything."

"I will be happy if you are willing to go with me." Li Wenjing smiled slightly, with stubbornness and warmth intertwined in her eyes.
