Chapter 435

This morning, before getting on the plane, Mei specifically bought a mobile phone to give to him. Well, this girl, just like Mei, is a wealthy young lady with financial freedom.

After finishing Mei's lesson, Bai Ge took a shower and lay on the bed, and then Elysia gave him a bear hug.

"Mei is really too bad, I hate Mei the most."

"Aili, lying doesn't suit you. The Elysia I know has always been an honest girl who stays true to herself. Besides, since it's a journey, we will inevitably form connections with people from all over the world."

"... Bai Ge, you have always been the Bai Ge who belongs only to me. I can share my flowers, my photos, and my time with Mei, but I don't want to give you to anyone else, and I don't want to embark on a journey alone."

Elysia buried her face in Bai Ge's chest and said.

Perhaps at the beginning, she could have traveled the world alone, but now she couldn't, because traveling side-by-side with Bai Ge was too wonderful and happy.

Elysia realized that this journey was very important to her. In the process, she felt she was being shaped, her heart was becoming complete, and her soul was becoming more dazzling.

This was a journey for her to find her 【True Self】.

However, even for such an important journey, compared to Bai Ge, it was not that important.

This was a truth Elysia had learned.

The most important thing about a journey is not the scenery and the harvest, but the person accompanying you on the journey.

"Silly Aili, have you forgotten?"

Bai Ge stroked Elysia's head and chuckled.

"Eh?"

"On the night before we set off, we promised that we would never leave each other on this road until we reached the end of the journey, to find the eternal paradise that belongs to you—no, that belongs to us. And... how could I bear to leave you?"

Bai Ge took the lovable girl before him into his arms and whispered the initial vow in her ear.

Elysia narrowed her eyes. Bai Ge's voice made her ears itch, and she subconsciously rubbed against him, just like a cat inviting its owner to play.

And after hearing Bai Ge's words, the girl's worry disappeared, and she bloomed with a smile more brilliant than flowers again.

"Sorry, Bai Ge, I just said something silly."

Yes, how could they separate?

Instead of worrying about this, she should think about where to go tomorrow and what to eat.

They will never leave each other until they reach the end, and the name of the journey is life, and its end is called death.

Therefore, only death can separate their joined hands, but... that will certainly not befall them.

"It's okay, goodnight my good Aili, it's getting late, it's time to rest well."

"Mm, goodnight Bai Ge, let's see each other in our dreams."

The two pressed their foreheads together.

Their gazes watched each other tenderly.

Finally, they closed their eyes with reluctance.

The two prayed that they would exist in each other's dreams tonight, and looked forward to the first thing they would see when they woke up tomorrow being his/her figure.

……………………

After that, Bai Ge and Elysia kept traveling, day after day, year after year. Gradually, their footprints covered the whole world, and they experienced countless encounters.

They had encountered a girl who aimed to be a classical music star and pursued art, a boy who dreamed of being a partner of justice and acted as a vigilante, and they had also encountered a brilliant magician, or perhaps an inventor? They had seen the other party's miraculous performance, and so on...

Those were encounters whose specific numbers could no longer be counted.

Bai Ge and Elysia had received kindness from strangers, and were warmed, moved, and encouraged by them.

They had also received malice for no reason, and were deceived, used, and betrayed by them.

They had slept in five-star hotels, and had made do on park benches. They had performed on the street to raise insufficient travel funds, and had been involved in countless troubles.

Perhaps this journey was not smooth sailing, but it was so wonderful and brilliant.

If life is compared to a book, and one day represents one page, then every page of an ordinary person is like a copy of the previous page, with little change.

But every page of Bai Ge and Elysia's book was full of new stories, new encounters, and new scenery. It had only been a few years, but it was countless times more brilliant than an ordinary person's life.

And in the process, the two also slowly grew up together.

"Bai Ge, do I look good today?"

In a clothing store in a certain city, a young girl wearing a white dress with pink edges and a straw hat asked the boy in front of her.

All the customers in the store focused their eyes on the two, because one was too beautiful and the other was too handsome, like a princess and prince who had walked out of a fairy tale.

Elysia's slightly curly pink long hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head. After several years, she had changed from a girl to a young woman, standing tall and moving. She grew up quickly, and now she possessed incredibly proud curves, and one smile was enough to topple a city.

"Aili, you are the most beautiful no matter what."

Bai Ge offered sincere praise. After several years, he had also changed from a boy to a young man. His snow-white hair hung behind his head, and his golden eyes were noble and gentle. The temperament brought by seeing the world as a traveler made him look...

Of course, when the two stood together, the world seemed to brighten up. People shouted in their hearts that they were a perfect match!

"But why did you suddenly want to buy new clothes today?"

"Oh my~ isn't it because we are going to report to the organization soon? Of course, I have to leave a perfect first impression."

"Is that all?"

"... I also want Bai Ge to praise me for being cute."

"Hehe~ that's more like it, my Aili is the world's cutest."

Listening to their conversation as if no one else was around, the other customers in the store showed auntie smiles. Ah, ah, they had never met such a sweet, well-matched, and easy-to-ship couple, amazing!

And some people also noticed that on Bai Ge and Elysia's clothes, there was a silver badge with a burning wing on it.

Both of them had joined the MOTH.

As for the reason, it started three years ago.

……………………

At that time, Bai Ge and Elysia, who were preparing to go to the next destination, encountered an unexpected traffic control. All planes and buses to the next city were canceled.

Ordinary people could only wait for the traffic control to end, but these two thought it was a rare opportunity, so they simply revisited the feeling of walking to the first city at the beginning of their journey.

For the two who could go wherever they wanted in these years, free as birds, how could mere traffic control stop them?

So Bai Ge and Elysia spent two days crossing forests, climbing small hills, crossing rivers, and easily and happily arrived near another city, and then...

They saw a war.

Boom boom boom boom boom――!

The deafening sound of artillery fire was constant, but the target was not humans, but a figure suspended in the air.

But although it was a lone figure, facing the high-firepower carpet bombing of human weapons, it showed powerful, destructive strength.

Just with a wave of her hand, she constructed the same armed firepower as humans, easily annihilating the tanks, fighter jets, and soldiers present. However...

That was also her end.

When Bai Ge and Elysia arrived, they happened to see her finale. Several small nuclear bombs flying from the sky finally completely destroyed this figure.

"This, what exactly is this..."

At that time, Elysia was stunned.

Over the years, she had been to countless places with Bai Ge, and even encountered wars a few times. The two had even guest-starred as volunteer field medics and saved many people.

However, the war at that time was completely different.

This was not a war between humans.

It was a war between humans and gods!

"The First Herrscher, has it finally descended? Aili... this is Honkai, the ultimate test that humanity must face."

Bai Ge said with a heavy heart at the time.

The First Herrscher of the Previous Era, the Herrscher of Reason, was born. Unlike the Herrscher of the current era who was willing to fight for humanity, this was a pure incarnation of destruction, an executor of the Honkai Will.

The Honkai of this era had finally officially descended.

And its opening did not disappoint, causing the complete destruction of a medium-sized city and its surrounding areas. The already established MOTH spent two days and two nights exhausting the Herrscher's Honkai energy, and finally gave a fatal blow with small nuclear bombs.

Of course, MOTH also suffered heavy losses. They, who had always been fighting Honkai Beasts until now, encountered a Herrscher who mastered authority for the first time.

The modern army constructed by the Herrscher of Reason, which was not inferior to them, annihilated nine-tenths of the troops MOTH sent to the scene, including subsequent reinforcements.

"Bai Ge, tell me, what is Honkai, and what... is a Herrscher?"

Elysia couldn't believe the scene she saw, and instinctively sought answers from the boy beside her.

And Bai Ge also told her without concealment.

Everyone who sees Honkai has the right to understand it, and although they hadn't seen a Herrscher in these years, he and Elysia had encountered, and even solved, quite a few Honkai Beasts while traveling the world, so the young girl already had a certain understanding.

And based on Bai Ge's understanding of her, if he didn't explain it clearly, Elysia would definitely do some dangerous things to figure it out, so he explained the general content.

"Honkai is a test, a disaster, a crisis of life and death facing humanity. A Herrscher is the apostle it uses to destroy the world. In short... if we don't defeat Honkai, humanity and civilization will be destroyed because of it."

"!!!"

The unimaginable answer left Elysia stunned on the spot, and then she asked in surprise and confusion. ===== CHAPTER 436 =====
