The reason Gu Xi hadn't refused Yun Ye's offer this time wasn't entirely because he'd used Li Ming, Wei Heng, and the others to threaten her. It was mostly because of the Superpower Seed.
No one knew that ever since her last superpower upgrade, Gu Xi had been constantly restraining herself from absorbing the energy of the Superpower Seed.
But this craving for immense power was a fundamental instinct for creatures of the universe, and restraining it was, in truth, very difficult.
Anyone else would have likely found it impossible. Only someone like Gu Xi could manage… The environment she grew up in had made her emotions and desires muted. Furthermore, she had truly stood at that peak before, so the position held no attraction for her. It was simply lonely at the top.
But even so, it was still incredibly difficult.
Ever since she absorbed the power of another Superpower Seed, both her sprout and her personal space had developed an almost instinctual craving for that energy.
