As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the landscape, Yun trudged wearily through the front door, his exhaustion palpable. His wife greeted him with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling with concern. "How was your day, my love?" she asked, her voice gentle as a summer breeze.
Yun let out a deep sigh, his shoulders sagging in relief. "Tiring," he replied, his voice laced with fatigue. "Just another long day at the office."
She nodded sympathetically, her hands already moving to prepare dinner. "Come, wash up and we'll eat together," she said, her voice soothing as a gentle brook.
Yun nodded gratefully, his eyes already looking forward to the warmth and comfort of their dinner together. He washed up quickly, the cool water reviving him slightly, and then joined her at the table.
As they ate, the tension in Yun's body began to ease, replaced by a sense of contentment and peace. His wife chatted about her day, her words light and effortless, and Yun listened intently.
After dinner, they adjourned to the balcony, where his wife had already set out coffee and a plate of sweet treats. The night air was crisp and cool, filled with the scent of blooming flowers, and Yun felt his heart fill with joy and gratitude as they sipped their coffee together, watching the stars twinkle to life in the night sky.
Yun and his wife stood there in comfortable silence, taking in the breathtaking view. They watched as flying cars zipped past, their lights twinkling like stars. The flying islands drifted lazily through the air, their lush greenery a stark contrast to the steel and glass towers that pierced the sky.
The teleportation portals, both small and large, pulsed with a soft blue light, their gentle hum a soothing background noise. The small portals, connecting each city, and the large ones, linking each country, were a marvel of technology. And it was all powered by a never-exhausted energy source, a true wonder of their world.
As they gazed out at the futuristic landscape, Yun felt her's hand brush against his. He turned to her, and she smiled softly. He took her hand, and they stood there together, lost in the beauty of their world.
The stars began to twinkle in the night sky, and the city lights danced in time with the pulsing portals. It was a moment of perfect peace, a moment that Yun and his wife would cherish forever.
In this serene and futuristic world, they found solace in each other's company.
Her's eyes shone with pride and admiration as she gazed at Yun. "This is all possible because of you, Yun," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "If you didn't make that decision at that time, it would have taken millennia for humanity to develop like this. You accelerated our progress, and now look at us!"
Yun's face flushed with humility, and he looked at her with gratitude. "It's because of you that I made that decision, my love, Ariana" he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "You inspired me to think beyond the boundaries of what was thought possible. Your love and support gave me the courage to take the leap."
Ariana's expression softened, and she reached out to touch Yun's face. "We make a good team, don't we?" she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Yun nodded, his eyes locked on hers. "We certainly do," he replied, his voice filled with emotion. "Together, we can achieve anything."
As they stood there, basking in the glow of their love and the wonders of their futuristic world, Yun knew that he owed it all to Ariana. She was his rock, his muse, and his everything. And he knew that as long as they were together, they would continue to shape the future and make it brighter than ever.
800 Years Ago
Yun's eyes widened as he stared at the system's interface. "System, system, what's happening? It's already been 200 years, and nothing has happened!" he exclaimed, his voice laced with frustration.
System asked. [ Now what happened? Why are you making a fuss, Yun? ]
Yun's face twisted in disbelief. "How can a human live beyond their lifespan? You're the one who's supposed to have all the answers!"
System was confused and asked clarification. [What are you talking about, Yun? ]
Yun's patience was wearing thin. "I am talking about my wife, Ariana. Her lifespan was supposed to end 200 years ago, and I have no idea when she will... well, you know."
System posed a question. [ My friend, Aren't you happy that she's still alive? ]
Yun's eyes flashed with annoyance. "What are you talking about? Of course, I'm happy! Who wouldn't be overjoyed to see their beloved person alive? I'm just a little curious, that's all."
[ I see. Well, Yun, it seems we have a mystery on our hands. Some mysteries needs to be buried forever and you don't need to know about it. ]
Yun's curiosity was piqued. "But I want to know about this mystery," he pressed, his voice firm.
[ It's related to your personal life, Yun. I don't want to delve that deeply to discuss this mystery. ]
Yun's frustration grew. "I say I want to know," he insisted, his words laced with determination.
[ Are you sure about this, Yun? ]
Yun's jaw clenched, his teeth gritted. "I am sure. Tell me now."
[ Sigh! Very well, listen carefully. It's because of Universal Energy. ]
Yun's confusion deepened. "Universal Energy? That's my inner energy and it has no lifespan extension function. If it did, how could it affect Ariana?"
[ Your repeated unions with Ariana over the past 3000 years have created a harmonious balance of your Yin and Yang energies. With each union, your Yang energy, symbolizing creativity and assertion, has intertwined with Ariana's Yin essence, representing receptivity and nurturing. This celestial dance has allowed your Universal Energy to resonate within her, leaving an indelible mark on her being.
The Yin receptivity embracing the Yang assertion, as the body's life force is channeled into the ultimate expression of pleasure, has gradually transformed Ariana's genetics. This transformation has enabled her to transcend mortality, expanding her lifespan. Though not entirely immortal, her existence has become a testament to the balancing forces of Yin and Yang. ]
Yun's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowed in confusion. "System, I don't understand. Can you explain it in a way that makes sense to me?"
[ Of course, Yun. Your Yang energy, Yun, is the spark that ignites the creative potential within Ariana. As the Yin and Yang energies merge, your Universal Energy is released, infusing her being with the essence of life. This union of opposites has created a symphony of cosmic proportions, harmonizing the forces of creation and receptivity.
The residue of your creative potential has gradually accumulated within Ariana, transforming her genetic code. This transformation has allowed her to tap into the Universal Energy, expanding her lifespan. Though still subject to the natural cycle of birth, growth, decay, and rebirth, Ariana's existence has become a shining example of the balancing forces of Yin and Yang. ]
Yun threw up his hands in frustration. "I can't understand any of this! What's this union, Yin-Yang, and all this other stuff?"
[ Sigh! Think of it like this, Yun. Your inner energy is Universal Energy. When you make love with Ariana, you're not just releasing your own genes, you're also releasing Universal Energy. And even though you've stopped the pregnancy, the residue of that Universal Energy still enters Ariana's body. ]
Yun scowled, still confused. "So, what does that have to do with anything?"
[ That residue of Universal Energy changes Ariana's very being, increasing her lifespan. It's like a spark of life force that infuses her with vitality and energy. ]
Yun's eyes widened, finally starting to understand. "So, our love making is like a transfer of life force?"
[ Exactly, Yun. Finally you understand. ]
Yun's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Then, how much lifespan does she get? Can you tell me?"
[ Yes, I can. After analyzing her, I can provide you with that information. ]
Yun's face lit up with excitement. "Then, analyze her!"
[ You need to kiss her for 2 minutes. This will allow me to scan her life force and determine the extent of the lifespan increase. ]
Yun's brow furrowed in confusion. "Why? How does kissing her help?"
[ The energy from your kiss will enable me to access her life force and analyze the resonance of your love. This is the condition to analyze her lifespan. ]
Yun's face broke into a wide grin. "Really? That's all I need to do?"
He eagerly turned to Ariana, who was watching the exchange with a curious expression. Yun leaned in, his lips meeting Ariana's in a tender, loving kiss. The seconds ticked by, and Yun lost himself in the warmth of their embrace.
As the 2 minutes passed
[ Analysis complete. Ariana's lifespan can't be measured. ]
Yun's eyes widened in disappointment. "What do you mean, can't be measured?" he asked, his voice laced with frustration.
[ Yes, Because... ]
