Chapter 387: The Moment of Harvest!
```
Xu Yi's brain exploded with noise the moment the flood of unfamiliar memories rushed in, and he lost consciousness.
"Honey, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!"
"Dad, wake up! I'll be good from now on, I won't make you angry anymore!"
The sound of weeping by his ears was heartbreaking. Xu Yi slowly awakened, vaguely feeling that he had forgotten something, but whenever he tried to recall it, his temples throbbed with pain.
"Husband, you just scared me to death!" His wife clasped her chest, her body trembling slightly with residual fright.
"Dad, you're finally awake!" His daughter's face was streaked with tears, her eyes as red as a rabbit's.
Xu Yi looked at the "wife and daughter" before him, reached out to touch them, but suddenly stopped halfway.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the reluctance in his heart, and stood up from the bed, walking towards the windowsill.
"Daddy! What are you doing?" His daughter looked at him, puzzled.
Xu Yi suddenly smiled, his expression gentle, "I am very thankful for the happiness you've given me these days, but I'm sorry, someone else is waiting for me to return!"
"Daddy! Don't you want me anymore?" His daughter seemed to realize something, and her crying broke down, her sobs gut-wrenching.
Xu Yi gritted his teeth and forcefully turned his head away.
A voice in the depths seemed to tell him that there was only one chance, and if he hesitated, he would fall again and never have another opportunity.
He violently opened the window, and without looking back at the calls of his wife and daughter, he jumped out.
"What if all the memories in his brain were false? What should he do then?"
The moment he jumped out, a thought flashed through Xu Yi's mind.
He thought of his wife and daughter weeping after his death, his parents collapsing, and he immediately regretted it, but it was too late, falling from a twelve-story building, he was bound to die.
His body collided with the hard concrete ground, blood splattered out, but Xu Yi's consciousness did not fade; his soul soared higher and higher until he was completely awake.
"Just a little more! Just a little more!" Xu Yi's breath was rapid, as if trying to suck in all the air in the world into his lungs.
It had been so incredibly dangerous just now; had he hesitated even a second longer, he would have remained forever trapped within the Ice Crystal's illusionary realm.
The moment he jumped out the window, he had already regretted it, but since he had chosen to jump from the building, once he leapt out, there was no room for second thoughts, which allowed him to break through the illusion.
The "Memory Bomb" he had set up undoubtedly had taken effect, with "reality of the world" as its fuse; as soon as he began to doubt the reality around him, the fuse would ignite, and the bomb would explode.
Those surging unfamiliar memories were the effect of the Memory Bomb.
But logic dictated that given the frightening effects of the Soul Stealing Ice Crystal, there should have been no chance for the Memory Bomb to detonate at all.
Last time he entered the Gate of Truth and was sucked into the Serpent of Finale, he never awoke, never once doubting the reality of the world from beginning to end.
Xu Yi looked towards the system panel, where a new notification had appeared.
[Divine Transition Progress: 100/100, Soul Crystallization complete; your soul has gained the trait: "Immortal Purity".]
Whether it was his self-induced slumber or the setting up of a "Memory Bomb," they were mere tricks; his trump card was actually the system.
That raises a critical question: when does the system issue notifications?
You should know that the system doesn't have a timer function, and it only sends "strong notifications" for some vital content, like the previous activation of Divine Transition.
To resolve this issue, one must go back to "Divine Transition."
Divine Transition is like a dam built over a river, exceptionally sturdy, but as soon as the first crack appears, the integrity of the dam is greatly reduced.
The first activation of Divine Transition is the most difficult, after which the difficulty plummets.

He was devoured by Isoson and suffered Mental Contamination when Divine Transition was activated—even the Soul Stealing Ice Crystals could advance the progress.
Before being pulled into the Gate of Truth, the progress of Divine Transition had already reached 91%. He was confident he could reach 100% before his soul was annihilated.
As he predicted, but what he couldn't anticipate was that even the system's "strong prompt" could not pull him out of the illusionary realm.
"But all phenomena have traces to follow!"
Although the system's prompt did not awaken him, it still provided hints within the dream.
The system message appeared at "09:09", so within the illusionary realm, the alarm clock kept going off at "09:09" repeatedly.
It was because of this anomaly that he began to doubt, which triggered the Memory Bomb and offered him that slim chance of survival.
It took a long while before Xu Yi had the energy to check his own condition. When he saw the state of his being, he felt as if he could sweat bullets in fear.
His soul had previously been reduced to the size of a fingernail, and now it was only the size of a grain of rice. If the progress of Divine Transition had been any slower, he might have truly dissipated into nothing.
"Divine Light" kept washing over his soul.
If it had been before, he certainly wouldn't have withstood the Divine Light, but due to Soul Crystallization and acquiring the trait of "Immortal Purity," the mere remnants of his soul were excessively sturdy.
"Finally, I'm not a glass cannon anymore!"
Xu Yi couldn't contain his joy; from now on, he no longer had to worry about his soul being instantly snuffed out.
Moreover, the trait of "Immortal Purity" played a very important role in his moment of clarity within the illusionary realm.
"Immortal Purity" not only made his Soul Core extremely durable but also allowed him a certain level of "Poison Resistance," which to a certain extent weakened the effect of the Soul Stealing Ice Crystals.
"Now it's time to reap the rewards!"
Xu Yi could hardly hide his excitement as he turned his head to look. On the desolate land of the Gate of Truth, four figures floated: the charred corpse, Freddie, Oss, and Isoson.
"There's enough here for a game of mahjong!"
Xu Yi looked at the charred corpse, whose Soul Split inside had already been annihilated—not due to the Baptism of the Gate of Truth.

He knew the Soul Split couldn't withstand the Baptism, so before entering the Gate of Truth, he had the Soul Split completely disintegrate into the Soul Stealing Seed.
Instead of allowing it to be annihilated by the Baptism, it was better to make a final contribution.
Xu Yi flew out of the mouth of Isoson, who was immersed in the illusionary realm and utterly unaware of any outside changes.
His soul flew into the charred corpse's body and landed in the True God's Thread.
The moment he touched the True God's Thread, a tide of pure soul power surged towards him.
Previously, he was unable to absorb a large amount of power from the True God's Thread because his soul was too weak, "Insubstantial and Unreplenishable." Now, he had no such concerns.
A large number of Soul Stealing Seeds flew out, entering every corner of the charred corpse. Supported by the huge soul power and with no interference from Freddie, he smoothly took control of the charred corpse.
The charred corpse moved its fingers and then raised its legs—it was Xu Yi getting used to the new body.
The reason why he allowed the charred corpse to enter the Gate of Truth was simple: he himself did not possess the ability to devour, so he had to borrow a nest to hatch the egg.
The charred corpse approached Freddie, opened its mouth, and suction generated on its own. Freddie's Remnant Soul was drawn in, a "Magnetic Attraction" between the primary body and the soul.
Right when Freddie was about to be devoured, he desperately awoke for a moment. Xu Yi was a bit surprised; that's the power of a domain soul, such a small stimulus could make Freddie react this way.
But it was all too late now; at that moment, Freddie was too weak. Under Freddie's desperate gaze, the charred corpse devoured him.
As the Controller of the charred corpse, it was equivalent to him having devoured Freddie. Xu Yi's soul shook violently, a burning sensation emerging.
