Chapter 25 We can do anything.
As the Golden Bloods channeled their power into streams of light, Xing also solemnly poured his own pioneering spirit into his book, "As I Am".
At the same time, a page of eternity was also merged into Onphalus. New life finally arrived.
Apart from the Golden Blood who possess all memories, the beings of Onphalus only retain the memories of their "last incarnation".
For ordinary people, this is not without its compassion—they don't have to bear the heavy, recurring epic, but simply embrace the new dawn before them.
Qingyuan watched quietly from the side, watching Xing being surrounded by people, watching hope turn into reality in her hands.
A strange emotion quietly crept into my heart, like a tiny thorn pricking the soft flesh of genuine joy for someone else.
It was envy. Even... there was a hint of jealousy that she herself loathed.
"How could I think like that!" She shook her head violently, trying to banish the dark thought.
But when she looked at Xing again—the center of the light, surrounded by gratitude and joy—that pure and flawless blessing could not flow out as naturally as usual.
That bittersweet feeling lingers stubbornly in my heart.
As the provider of that crucial light cone, Qingyuan's name was also engraved in Onfaros's epic of salvation.
Although she herself felt that she had not made any great contributions.
Bai'er is expressing his deepest gratitude to the Black Tower and Screw Goom.
The resolute Golden Clan member's eyes gleamed with the light of relief after surviving a catastrophe: "You didn't deceive us... Thank you, Onpharos has truly been reborn."
"If you want to thank someone, thank Qingyuan, and also that little pink-haired girl who will create the light cone in the future."
The Black Tower doll crossed its arms; the Great Black Tower had only recently been crowned, and its true form still needed to recuperate.
"This place... is quite interesting. However, the research samples have been collected almost completely."
She was always efficient; once she achieved her goal, she prepared to return home.
On the other hand, the conversation between Xi Lian and Chang Ye Yue was shrouded in a more complex and subtle atmosphere.
As Xi Lian processed the vast flow of information within the light cone, she whispered, "You will be trapped in an eternal cycle of reincarnation. From then on, Onpharos will be reborn."
So, it turns out I could be one of them. And from my current perspective, I can now confirm that the divine decree was indeed issued by you.
Chang Yeyue crossed her arms and smiled slightly. "According to the Light Cone, she came from the opposite side of 'nothingness'."
Xi Lian's gaze fell upon the somewhat forlorn Qing Yuan in the distance.
"Because she remembers your memories, the upgraded 'you' is able to project a faint trace of power and consciousness into the present to protect her."
"But there's a prerequisite," Changyeyue interjected, her voice calm yet undeniably sharp, "that the path forward must, over a sufficiently long period, be one that approaches the level I've ascended to."
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to continuously expend my power to protect her. The Star Jade and the train ticket, formed solely from the power of pioneering... aren't enough."
"So, you want me to take care of her in your place?"
Xi Lian pondered, a hint of worry appearing between her brows. "I have an inescapable responsibility. But the intertwined powers within her... are too astonishing, and too dangerous."
Could you tell me more? About her, about that "war of the gods" you mentioned?
"Most of what I know about her is the result of reverse deduction."
After all, I am not the Star God who controls memories, but merely... a slightly more powerful 'Pure Child Without Leaks'.
She paused, her voice lowering.
"Even though she has been corrupted by nothingness to this extent, I can still analyze some things and figure out what price she paid to protect all living beings in a future catastrophe."
When it was her turn to receive protection, she acted like this. It really shows that good deeds are rewarded!
"It's not that I'm unwilling to help," Xi Lian hurriedly explained, her ears slightly red, "I just want to mitigate some unknown risks for Onfaros..."
"Risk. Yes, you have a responsibility to the world first."
Chang Yeyue interrupted her, her tone calm but making Xi Lian's heart tighten.
"But the light cone you used to rebuild this world—from beginning to end, was not tainted by even the slightest trace of the erosion of 'nothingness'."
Xi Lian was suddenly stunned. Yes... I actually... I actually doubted the risks that she might bring while using the pure and innocent hope she brought to save the world.
"Ha. You don't need to feel guilty. Anyway, none of this 'has happened yet,' has it?"
These words seem to be spoken to Xi Lian, and also to a past version of himself.
"No...that's not how it is, I..." Xi Lian wanted to explain, but her mind was in turmoil due to the overwhelming emotional impact.
"Alright." Chang Yeyue's voice softened slightly, but it carried an undeniable sense of finality. "I didn't mean to blame you."
It's normal to feel mentally unstable after absorbing too much intense emotion from your "future self".
My request is simple: guide her so that she can rebuild her bonds with the people she cares about.
Her gaze also fell on Qingyuan, a barely perceptible hint of pain flashing in her eyes.
"On the train, I could clearly feel her sadness and loneliness. She knew every corner of the train and every one of us."
But to us, she was like an abrupt, unfamiliar visitor.
Even though I occasionally receive a little extra power projection from Fu Li because of her, I don't truly 'know' her.
She recalled that earlier, Qingyuan had naively and recklessly tried to lure her out.
She possessed power capable of shaking galaxies, yet, unwilling to harm herself in the slightest, she only defended and never attacked, ultimately being driven to the brink of despair bit by bit.
Chang Yeyue, or rather, the subconscious of the future March 7th that was mixed in at that time, felt a sudden pang in her heart.
Qingyuan would rather watch herself suffocate than hurt her, whether it was "March 7th" or "Long Night Moon".
Fortunately, I became interested in her at the time and explored and analyzed her memories and the light cone on her body, which prevented a major mistake from happening.
Otherwise, if he really did kill her... Chang Yeyue almost couldn't imagine the consequences.
That's why, seeing Xi Lian's brief hesitation just now, a nameless anger surged up within him. Go to eternal reincarnation!
Of course, reason quickly returned. On the one hand, she might not be able to gain any advantage on Onfaros's territory;
On the other hand, she did need Xi Lian's power to protect Qing Yuan together. Therefore, she could only forcibly suppress her resentment.
"You want to protect her personally? Our train crew would be more than happy to oblige."
Walter Young pushed up his glasses and looked at Xi Lian.
"But how do you plan to persuade the Immortal Boat Alliance? They seem to have other plans for Miss Qingyuan."
In order not to expose the deep connection between Changyeyue and the memory star god Fuli.
Xi Lian, citing the "future hidden dangers" revealed in the light cone, requested that Qing Yuan be temporarily left in Onfaros for her personal care.
As for the Immortal Boat, Xi Lian mysteriously curled the corners of her lips. Recalling Chang Yeyue's words, she replied, "Don't worry, a 'kind person' has already gone to persuade them on our behalf."
Soon, the answer was revealed.
Standing on the land of Onfaros, Qingyuan looked up at the magnificent array building that stood tall, its style seemingly familiar yet bearing local characteristics. Her lips twitched, and she uttered a sorrowful and indignant accusation:
"What's with this slightly modified version of the Qiong Guan Formation?! Silver Wolf—did you betray me again?!"
As if in response to her call, a familiar virtual projection jumped out joyfully.
The gray-haired girl stood with her hands on her hips, her face beaming with a smug "As expected of me" smile, her clear voice echoing in the air:
"That's right! It was me who betrayed you again!"
