As the number of cycles increased, I could clearly feel the power of Ancient Jade waning.
At first, this change was subtle, like a gentle breeze brushing over the surface of a lake, almost imperceptible.
But each time I activated Ancient Jade to enter a cycle, the cold power emanating from its depths seemed to dim slightly.
This feeling filled me with unease.
The power of Ancient Jade did not come from nowhere; I should have realized that sooner.
Meanwhile, its predictive ability was becoming increasingly vague.
In the past, every time I initiated a cycle, Ancient Jade would always show me some blurred images—perhaps remnants of the past or projections of the future.
These images were crucial guides for my actions, like a lighthouse in the darkness.
But now, the images were becoming shorter and shorter, and sometimes I couldn’t capture any useful information at all.
This situation left me without a clear direction for the upcoming cycles.
"What if Ancient Jade's power is exhausted? Will I no longer be able to cycle?" This thought lingered in my mind.
It felt like a cold hand gripping my heart tightly, making it hard for me to breathe.
In order to understand the situation with Ancient Jade, I decided to change my approach and began researching its origins and functions, hoping to find a solution.
I started poring over the ancient texts left by my family, those heavy tomes covered in the dust of ages.
Although reading these ancient books required a significant amount of time, I was filled with anticipation.
Finally, in a book titled "Heavenly Secrets Record," I found some records regarding Ancient Jade.
The text mentioned that this type of Ancient Jade originated from ancient times and was said to possess mysterious powers capable of "defying fate" and even manipulating the flow of time.
However, this power was not limitless.
From the descriptions in the book, I also learned that the power of Ancient Jade came from a mysterious energy in the universe known as "Lingyuan."
Each time Ancient Jade was used in a cycle, it consumed a portion of Lingyuan, which was finite.
Once completely depleted, Ancient Jade would turn into an ordinary stone, unable to exert any effect whatsoever.
This revelation weighed heavily on my heart.
If Ancient Jade were to completely lose his power, everything would revert to square one.
Not only would I be unable to reclaim what had already been lost, but I might also fall into utter despair.
This consequence is something I cannot bear.
I realized that I must end this cycle as soon as possible; otherwise, what awaits me will be endless darkness and regret.
From that moment on, I began to cherish every opportunity within each cycle, daring not to waste a single moment.
Every choice, every action, I would carefully ponder and deliberate, ensuring they would yield the greatest effect.
At the same time, my collaboration with Xiao Ai became even closer.
She is a smart and reliable partner, always able to offer constructive suggestions at critical moments.
We worked day and night analyzing all the evidence, sorting through every detail, leaving no stone unturned.
Finally, through our efforts, we devised a comprehensive action plan.
This is a perilous road, yet it is currently the most likely choice for success.
We decided to submit all evidence to the relevant authorities in the next cycle, allowing them to intervene and break the deadlock.
However, this did not mean my stress was alleviated; on the contrary, I felt time becoming increasingly urgent.
The remaining strength of Ancient Jade was no longer sufficient to support many more cycles.
We must put our plans into action within this limited timeframe and ensure that everything goes flawlessly.
Every night, as I sat alone at my desk, gazing at the dimming light of Ancient Jade before me, I felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and heaviness.
This was not merely a game of racing against time; it was a battle against fate.
I did not know what the outcome would be, but I knew that no matter what, I could not back down.
