As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Seventeen kilometers away from the Tower of Babel, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in the calm space, as if a stone had been thrown into the water.

Immediately afterwards, a circular ripple spread out rapidly and formed a circular channel with a diameter of about two meters in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Xilin's figure slowly emerged from the passage. And on her shoulder, Chenyuan sat steadily.

"Wow, that was really dangerous! I have to say, Walter Young is truly amazing. He can't let his guard down for even a moment."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he jumped off Xi Lin's shoulder and then stretched comfortably.

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Xi Lin glanced at him disdainfully, crossed her arms, raised her chin proudly, and said, "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? Just a mere human. If that attack was his full strength, I think blocking it would be a piece of cake!"

In response to Xilin's confident remarks, Chenyuan simply shook his head helplessly and casually replied, "Yes, yes, you are the best. There is nothing in this world that can stump you."

After saying that, he ignored Xilin and began to carefully observe his surroundings. Soon, Chenyuan's gaze was drawn to something not far behind them.

It was a massive object, shaped like a giant egg, standing there silently. This enormous "egg" was entirely a deep black, its surface shimmering with a faint light.

"Hmm, it seems we've finally reached the end of our journey." Chen Yuan said, leaping onto Xilinna's shoulder again, then pointing a finger at the enormous egg not far away.

"Look, do you see that? That's the ultimate purpose of this little guy bringing you here. Let's go take a look."

"Do you need to tell me?" Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Xilin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain, but she still followed his instructions and slowly walked towards the mysterious giant egg.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "I don't know what this thing is. Just one glance from afar gave me a strange feeling that I can't quite describe."

Just as Sirin reached the giant egg, the small Honkai Beast suddenly burst out of her clothes without warning and flew straight into the giant egg.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Upon seeing this, Xilin hurriedly and subconsciously reached out her right hand to grab it. However, to her great surprise, her palm easily pierced through the hard shell of the giant egg, as if it were a phantom.

Xilin stared in astonishment at everything that was happening before her, momentarily at a loss. Turning to look at Chenyuan perched on her shoulder, she saw him nod gently, and only then did Xilin feel relieved.

After taking a deep breath, Xilin swallowed hard and encouraged herself, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just a strange egg..." Then, she mustered her courage, carefully lifted her right foot, and gently stepped into the giant egg.

The next second, the entire scene was completely transformed, as if it had been suddenly twisted by an invisible hand.

Celine stared in astonishment, quickly looking around. However, the sight that met her eyes made her heart sink to the bottom. Apart from the boundless black space, there was nothing else.

"Waaah...waaah...Mom...don't leave me alone..." Just then, another heartbreaking sob drifted over from afar.

The crying was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Sirin's heart, causing her to tremble involuntarily.

"Mom..." The voice was broken and filled with endless loneliness, like a child lost in the darkness desperately calling out for his mother.

Upon hearing that all-too-familiar voice, Sirin was stunned, as if struck by lightning. Countless images flashed through her mind in an instant.

Immediately afterward, a strong impulse surged into her heart, making her disregard everything else and without hesitation take off running wildly in the direction from which the sound came from.

Time seemed to lose its meaning here, and Sirin felt no fatigue at all, just kept running, with only one thought in her mind: she must find that voice!

After an unknown amount of time, a faint glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the previously pitch-black space ahead. This light seemed so insignificant in the darkness, but to the anxious and distraught Sirin, it was like a beacon in the darkness.

"Mom..." The voice came again, this time clearer than before, and the helplessness it contained pierced Xilin's heart even more.

He stopped abruptly and anxiously looked around. After a while, he finally spotted a small figure huddled in a corner not far away. The figure looked so lonely, and the small shoulders were trembling slightly.

"who are you?"

The figure trembled slightly, then slowly raised its head. What came into view was a young yet haggard face.

Her once smooth and shiny hair was now a mess, and her beautiful eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she had just experienced a heart-wrenching cry, and for quite some time.

"Mommy...don't leave me..." the little girl pleaded in a tearful voice, each word striking Sirin's heart like a heavy hammer.

Just then, a hospital bed suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the little girl, and a blurry figure was lying on the bed.

Although the person's face was not clearly visible, the cold instruments around them indicated that the person's vital signs had disappeared.

"No..." This time, not only the little girl, but even Celine beside her couldn't help but cry out. Their voices intertwined, and at the same time, two lines of clear tears uncontrollably slid down their cheeks, dripping onto the ground and splashing up tiny teardrops.

"No... I'm all alone..." the little girl cried out again, her body trembling uncontrollably from extreme helplessness.

Xilin bit her lip tightly, trying hard not to cry out, but the torrent of tears betrayed her true feelings.

Amidst this bleak atmosphere, the tiny Honkai Beast appeared on the hospital bed without anyone noticing. Immediately afterward, the surrounding space began to distort violently.

With a piercing tearing sound, the space finally shattered completely, turning into a raging, dark blue flame.

"That's right, Sirin." A seductive voice emanated from the azure flames. "Tear open the hearts of humans, let them feel endless pain and despair, only then can you become a true Herrscher..."

"Tear..." The moment these two words reached her ears, Xilin's delicate body trembled, and she involuntarily reached out a jade-like hand and gently pressed it against her heart.

Her lips parted slightly, and she muttered, "Tear everything apart... tear... the human heart apart!" Every word was filled with endless resentment and hatred.

However, just as Celine was immersed in this emotion, a strong arm reached out without warning and hugged her tightly.

Chen Yuan raised his head, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at the raging flames before him. "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that!"

Perhaps it was the warmth of Chen Yuan's embrace, or perhaps it was the inexplicable soothing power of his words, but Xilin felt a jolt in her heart and instantly sobered up from that almost frantic state.

She slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, gazing pitifully at Chen Yuan before her. Tears streamed down her fair cheeks like pearls from a broken string.

"Chen Yuan?" Xi Lin called out the other person's name softly, her voice filled with confusion. At this moment, she was like a child lost in the darkness who had finally found a glimmer of light.

"I...don't want to be alone anymore..." Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face again.

"Of course you won't be alone, my little princess," Chen Yuan said gently, his words full of affection. Then, countless symbiotes suddenly erupted from his body.

These symbiotes surged forth like a tidal wave, rapidly climbing towards Sirin. They intertwined and merged, quickly covering Sirin's body.

"Trust me...it absolutely won't!" Chen Yuan emphasized again, while tightening his arms to hold Xilin firmly in his embrace.

"Um……"

Meanwhile, inside the Tower of Babel, Einstein was intently examining the massive Honkai Furnace. After a thorough inspection, Einstein slowly straightened up and turned to face Walter Young, who was standing not far behind him.

"Lord Alliance Leader, with your abilities, are you able to sense her exact location at this moment?"

When faced with Einstein's question, Walter Young slightly adjusted his glasses, gently shook his head, and answered in a solemn tone.

"That... I'm afraid it's difficult to do. As it stands, she has already left the vicinity of the Tower of Babel. With my own power alone, it's almost an impossible task to accurately sense her location."
