Chapter 1073

"Understand... perhaps."

After witnessing the beginning and end of that era, she could even affirm that she understood why the man before her had become what he was today better than at any other time.

"But understanding does not mean agreement."

"Ancestor Kaiwen, everyone has the potential to become a hero."

"But you... should not demand that everyone become the 【hero】 you have chosen."

"The result of such a thing is not what she would want to see."

Ancestor Kaiwen: "Raiden Yayi."

"There will never be a second Elysia."

"The result she wanted to see was never 【here】... 26"

"It was in you."

Ancestor Kaiwen's words seemed to imply something.

But at this moment, no one could understand the meaning of his words.

Yayi also could not understand.

She only thought that Ancestor Kaiwen had become completely obsessed and could not be persuaded.

She understood Ancestor Kaiwen, but she would never help Ancestor Kaiwen complete that so-called 【Stigma Project】.

"It seems... I have lost the final meaning of remaining in this world."

"So, the true purpose of you recruiting a Herrscher to join World Serpent back then..."

"I have already completed it, haven't I?"

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

But soon, they all reacted.

And then... their eyes grew hot.

They remembered the enthusiastic appearance of the Pink Fairy Miss when Yayi first entered the Elysian Realm.

After finishing all the plot of 【Elysian Realm】, they naturally knew the significance of Yayi to Elysia.

To be precise, it was Yayi's identity as a Herrscher that held important significance for Elysia.

A small joke Elysia made before she passed away—if you meet a Herrscher who stands on the side of humanity like me in the future, you must tell me~

A single sentence that Ancestor Kaiwen remembered for 50,000 years.

Even if she was just a memory construct in the Elysian Realm.

But Ancestor Kaiwen still found a way to recruit Yayi into World Serpent and sent her before "Elysia."

As if saying: Look, your sacrifice was not in vain.

The screen was filled with tears.

Yayi and Bronya in front of the live stream almost couldn't hold it together.

The main story is just like this...

If you're not careful, it will make people feel EOM.

"Then, let it be so... Raiden Yayi."

"As the 【Lord】, I allow you to leave World Serpent."

With this, this short segment of the plot came to an end.

Yayi stared blankly at the stage selection interface, silent.

Although she already knew this plot when recording the voice lines.

But when watching it again from the audience's perspective, it was still hard to bear.

After a long while, Yayi took a deep breath.

She clicked on the next stage again.

When the loading animation ended.

When the scene unfolded again, it was a conversation between Raven and Ancestor Kaiwen.

Still the same as before, speaking in riddles the whole time.

Ancestor Kaiwen actually asked a strange question like 【Why do birds fly】.

And Raven's answer was 【Birds fly because they are birds】...

But the answer Ancestor Kaiwen wanted to hear was—【Birds fly because they want to fly; this is the destiny they created for themselves】.

Although they didn't understand it, the players knew this must be a foreshadowing, right?

Just like previous chapters.

Every time the plot starts, there is foreshadowing buried.

Could this conversation between the two be related to the 【Identity Project】??

After this plot segment, the perspective was finally placed on Yayi.

After walking out of the underground tunnel, Yayi's identity was no longer a member of World Serpent.

Seeing this, the players were actually quite expectant.

Where would Yayi go after leaving World Serpent?

That would naturally be returning to Schicksal, returning to the Hyperion!

After so long, Yayi and her former companions could finally be together again; how could this not be exciting?

By then, it should be full of sweetness, right?

Immediately, the audience began to look forward to the subsequent plot development.

"Raven, is there something you want to say to me?"

Within World Serpent, the only person who could be called a 【friend】 to Yayi was Raven.

And now that Yayi was about to leave World Serpent, Raven was the only one who came to see her off.

The two walked from the underground base to the surface wilderness, and then followed the shepherd's path into this city of ruins.

During this relatively long journey, the two hadn't said a single word.

Until Yayi asked that question just now.

"Who knows," Raven shrugged, her gaze looking into the distance:

"If we keep walking forward, we'll be in Schicksal territory."

"If I really had decided what to say, I should have made it clear to you from the start."

"..."

After another silence, Yayi asked softly: "Are Xiao Kong and the others doing well?"

Raven nodded: "Of course, after these days, they all have a bit too much energy."

As if thinking of something, a smile appeared on the corner of Raven's mouth.

"Do you know? Last time I went back, I saw the villa's wallpaper covered in all kinds of graffiti."

"There was even a stick figure rolling on the ground, and they all said that was me."

Seeing this, everyone smiled.

The matter of Raven's island villa... was truly quite joyful.

Whether it was Yayi in the game or Yayi in front of the live stream, both burst into laughter.

Raven seemed to really not care about the island villa anymore.

The audience's somewhat EOM mood was also dispelled quite a bit by this plot.

Then next...

Is Yayi going to leave here, head to Schicksal, and reunite with Kiana and the others?

However...

The story did not develop in the direction the players wanted to see.

In the conversation between Yayi and Raven afterwards—

Raven told Yayi that she needed to complete some tasks personally assigned by Ancestor Kaiwen.

Keyword—personally assigned by Ancestor Kaiwen.
