Duoya's face twisted, her blue eyes filled with fear and shock: "What did you do to them?"

Luo Xi looked at Duoya calmly. The power of the Heart of Poseidon flowed through her body, giving her unprecedented confidence. "I just let them sleep. Once the power of the Heart of Poseidon is restored, they will be able to lift the curse."

Duoya was silent for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the abyssal beasts suspended in the water. They had once been her most powerful weapons, but now they lay as peacefully asleep as infants. She exchanged a glance with the shadow beside her, finally giving up resistance and sighing softly, "You win."

"I will open a space-time channel for you and send you back." Duoya's voice was filled with reluctance, but also with a hint of relief. Her fingers gently stroked Mingying's arm, as if drawing strength from it. "But remember your promise - when the energy of the Heart of the Sea God is restored, come back and lift the curse for my people."

Mingying stood beside Duoya, his dark brown body as steady as a mountain, his black tail gently swaying in the water. He said nothing, but his deep eyes remained fixed on Duoya, as if he would always stand by Princess Duoya's side, no matter how many storms they faced.

"I'll be here, waiting for you." Duoya stared at Luo Xi, her aqua-blue eyes flashing with complex emotions, including reluctance, admiration, and anticipation for the future. "For the sake of my people, I can let go of the grudges of the past."

She extended her slender fingers, cutting through the water. Space twisted and tore before her, revealing a rift leading to the present. Blue light spilled from the crack, illuminating the dark waters of the temple.

Luo Xi nodded in agreement, her fingers unconsciously touching her chest, where the Heart of Poseidon beat, resonating with her own. Although Yu was dead, she knew that, in the long river of time, he would be reborn in various time and space. One day, they would meet again.

Luo Xi stared at the door of time and space before her. The blue light flowed, like a gate to the unknown. She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and prepared to step through.

"I can't go with you."

Falcon's voice exploded behind him, hoarse and low.

Rosie's head whipped around, her eyes widening. "What?"

Falcon avoided her gaze, veins bulging across his bronze skin. His fingers were clenched into fists, nails digging deep into his palms. The full lines of his muscles, stretched to the limit, revealed a ferocious beauty.

"The evil will of the Heavenly Dao is still within me." He clenched his teeth, the sound almost squeezed out of his throat, "I feel it, it's waiting for the opportunity."

"We can figure this out together." Rosie reached out, trying to touch his arm.

Falcon took a step back, escaping her touch.

"No." He shook his head, pain flashing in his eyes, but quickly replaced by determination, "You saw it, I almost hurt you. If I can't control myself next time..."

Kyle stood aside, watching with cold eyes. A flicker of approval flashed in his amber eyes, and his black hair drifted in the water, revealing an inhuman indifference.

"He's right." Enzo spoke calmly, his black hair floating in the water. "The evil intentions of the Heavenly Dao are no small matter. It's wise for him to stay."

Falcon stepped forward and grasped Rosie's shoulders. The normally sharp-tongued man's fingers trembled slightly, and the muscles on his bronzed face tightened. He forced himself to look her in the eye.

"Look, I'm going to fix this." His voice was low and undeniably firm. "And then I'll come get you. I promise."

Luo Xi bit her lip: "How did you find me?"

"I will find you." Falcon repeated, a forced smile on his face. "No matter where you are in time and space, I will find you."

He loosened his grip and took a few steps back. His bronze skin shone coldly in the water, and his tall figure seemed lonely.

"wait for me."

Rosie's throat tightened and she nodded.

"Time is running out," Princess Duoya warned, anxiety flashing in her azure eyes. "The passage won't last much longer."

Kyle pulled Rosie over, her black hair floating in the water. "Let's go."

Rosie took one last look at Falcon, then turned and followed Kyle into the passage. Mike and Lu Ye followed closely behind, and Enzo hesitated for a moment before following suit.

At the entrance to the passage, Rosie suddenly stopped. Her heartbeat quickening, her blood boiling, she turned abruptly and rushed back. Under Falcon's astonished gaze, she stood on tiptoe and pressed her soft lips against the corner of his mouth.

"I'll wait for you." Her voice was as light as a feather, but as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Falcon's body froze, and his breathing became irregular.

Rosie turned and walked into the passage. Behind her, Kyle, Mike and others also entered one after another.

At the last moment before the passage closed, she turned back. Falcon stood there alone, his fingers lightly touching the place he had been kissed. A flash of crimson in his eyes flashed before being forcibly suppressed.

Their eyes met, separated by time, space, and light years, yet they seemed within reach.

Walking through the tunnel feels like being torn apart and then reassembled.

Luo Xi felt dizzy, and countless broken images flashed before her eyes...

These images shattered and dissolved in the long river of time.

I opened my eyes and found myself in the Abyssal King City. Familiar buildings, an unfamiliar silence. The once bustling streets were now deserted, all the abyssal beasts had been left behind with Princess Duoya in the other world.

At the corner of the street, a lone figure stood with his back to her...
