I want to capture the heroine after traveling through time

Just as Ling Linyi was about to use all her might to forcibly capture the person in front of her and temporarily detain him in the system's prison, she couldn't help but secretly groan inwardly. Because she knew very well that if she allowed Han Qiu to continue this madness, with her current strength, she would not be able to easily resist.

Thinking back to the past, if he still possessed the power of the Sky Spirit, subduing Han Qiu would be a piece of cake, even as easy as crushing an ant. However, times have changed, and now he has lost this powerful force.

This mysterious System Prison was, in fact, a precious reward bestowed upon her by Emperor Lian. The entire System Prison was formed entirely from the power of a tiny fraction of the Sky Spirit within Emperor Lian's body. Currently, having completely lost the power of the Sky Spirit, Ling Linyi could only utilize half of the System Prison's capabilities, relying on the single, still functional System Boundary Token given to her by Emperor Lian. A rough estimate, given the vast disparity in strength between herself and Han Qiu, suggested that at best, she could only successfully control him for approximately twelve hours.

A small, exquisite square golden box lay quietly in Ling Linyi's jade-white palm like a dazzling pearl, emitting a mysterious and dazzling light. This seemingly ordinary box actually held a hidden secret—it was the system prison transformed from the power of Emperor Lian's half-body, the Sky Spirit!

Looking closely, one could see tiny strands of energy slowly flowing across the box, like nimble little fish. These energies came from the lingering might of the Sky Spirit. They surged endlessly, as if possessing a life and consciousness of their own.

However, today's Qiongling seemed particularly unusual. Its power was fluctuating intensely, as if spurred on by something, becoming unusually active. That power surged back and forth across the box, leaping excitedly, as if eager to break free and display its true power.

Ling Linyi naturally understood the reason. She knew that the reason the system prison was so restless was entirely because it had sensed Di Lian's presence. Ling Linyi treasured every item Di Lian gave her and carefully kept it.

Ling Linyi painstakingly kept these treasures in pristine condition. Almost daily, she used a magical liquid called "Water of Embers" to cleanse and maintain them. This "Water of Embers" was a precious resource, painstakingly sourced from countless small worlds, specifically used to nourish and preserve the Sky Spirit power left behind by Emperor Lian.

Moreover, this precious "Sky Ember Water" itself has a shelf life. Therefore, every hundred years, no matter how many hardships and obstacles she encounters, Ling Linyi will resolutely embark on the journey to find a new "Sky Ember Water." With her wisdom and courage, as well as her deep love for Di Lian, she always succeeds in obtaining the freshest and purest "Sky Ember Water," ensuring that the objects that carry beautiful memories will continue to shine brightly.

In the long river of time, the long passage of time slipped by silently. Once, perhaps the faintest traces of the Willful Sky Spirit still lingered in the System World, but now, after countless years of change, no trace of the Willful Sky Spirit can be found. Furthermore, even the majority of the Sky Spirit within Ling Linyi's body, originally preserved by Emperor Lian to preserve his life, has vanished completely under the ravages of time. And without exception, these Sky Spirits were used by Ling Linyi to perform the Soul Summoning and Searching Technique.

You know, in this seemingly endless torrent of time, the Soul-Guiding Searching Method is Ling Linyi's only way to find Di Lian! She has always firmly believed that Di Lian is no ordinary person, so how could he be easily wiped out by a mere forbidden artifact? With this unwavering belief and unwavering persistence, Ling Linyi has never given up on the pursuit of Di Lian's whereabouts.

However, in recent days, Ling Linyi had no other options. Despite immense reluctance, she resolutely summoned a wisp of Sky Spirit power from an item gifted to her by Di Lian. This act was undoubtedly her last remaining hope. God knows what hard work pays off. After countless hardships, Ling Linyi finally achieved her wish and successfully found the Di Lian she had longed for! In that moment, all her hard work turned into tears of joy, spilling over this land filled with stories.

Ling Linyi looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with anxiety, thinking to himself: I finally found Di Lian, no matter what, I can't watch this world destroyed! She looked solemn, and without hesitation, she raised her left hand, and a dazzling light instantly gushed out from her palm.

As the light gradually converged into a massive cube, it became the legendary System Prison. It resembled a mysterious and powerful fortress, emitting a terrifying aura. The cube rapidly rotated in the air, each rotation accompanied by a dazzling interplay of light and shadow.

Then, Ling Linyi gently waved her right hand, and a system emblem, gleaming with a strange light, appeared out of thin air. With lightning speed, she flung the emblem into the system prison. In an instant, a tremendous surge of spiritual power erupted like a surging tide.

This force, as if possessed of life, rapidly spread across the surface of the cube. In the blink of an eye, a dazzling light emanated from the cube's perimeter, interweaving and merging, ultimately forming an incredibly solid cage.

Hanqiu, thrashing about frantically on the ground, was unaware of the impending danger. Only when a cage descended from the sky, trapping her, did she finally awaken, but it was too late. The cage held her tightly, preventing her from moving. Simultaneously, it began to radiate a scorching heat, its once cold metal rapidly becoming a crimson glow, like burning charcoal.

Ling Linyi stared intently at Han Qiu, who was engulfed in blazing flames. Her gaze was like a torch, as if she wanted to sear her deep into her eyes. The flames danced and raged, reflecting the resolute look in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, as if gathering all her strength. Then, she suddenly clenched her left hand, a slight stinging sensation in her palm. At the same time, she uttered a clear and loud cry: "Retreat!"

Along with this cry, a shocking scene occurred—the originally enormous cage began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye! Its volume became smaller and smaller, and it quickly deflated like a deflating balloon.

Han Qiu, trapped within the cage, was naturally no exception. Her body shrank as the cage shrank. In the blink of an eye, she was compressed to the limit and finally disappeared completely within the tiny cube.

Just then, the room had just returned to a brief calm, but the next moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound echoed in the quiet room, seeming particularly abrupt.

Then, the door slowly opened, and in walked Li Xilian, who had come to bring hot milk to Ling Linyi and the others. The moment she stepped into the room, she was completely stunned, staring blankly at the mess before her.

The once spacious, tidy, and spotless room had now become a horrific sight, unrecognizable. The walls were crisscrossed with cracks of varying depths and lengths, like a hideous spider web crawling across the surface. The floor was littered with a variety of broken energy crystals and fragments of varying sizes. Some of these fragments flickered faintly, while others were dim and lifeless, as if they had lost their life. Furthermore, large patches of charred, inky black remained on the ground, emitting a pungent odor that was nauseating.

The most striking thing was the nearly half-destroyed structure of the house. Once solid and sturdy, the beams and pillars were now shaky and crumbling, some even collapsing to the ground, sending up clouds of dust. A massive hole had been torn in the roof, through which sunlight streamed in, creating a dazzling beam of light. The scene was truly horrifying. It was hard to imagine what horrific event had befallen this place to leave it in this state; it was as if it had just experienced a horrific disaster.

"Uh... what?" Li Xilian stood at the doorway, her beautiful eyes wide and filled with astonishment. She stared at the scene in a daze, muttering to herself, "Did I open the door incorrectly? How could this happen?" After all, her house was built with the most durable building materials in the universe! Not only was this material incredibly strong, capable of withstanding all kinds of powerful external impacts, but it was also extremely fireproof and explosion-proof, practically flawless. So, why had a perfectly good room suddenly collapsed in half? This was truly unbelievable!

Uh……

Ling Linyi was numb, but fortunately, she had already learned the ability to erase her memory and then restore the room.
