Chapter 1116: Weng Falos 3.1 (162)

"If the person who helped Ti Li Xi Bi E Si no longer extends a hand to her, it must be some Gate City Priest who was assisting from the shadows, right?" Su Shi calmly looked out the window, neon light passing through the glass, casting an orange outline on her profile, "... A thousand years later, that kind-hearted helper who worked behind the scenes has probably already passed away."

"... What a pity, but still thank that kind-hearted person for the help that allowed her to successfully embark on the Fire Pursuit Journey." Ai Yin eagerly leaned in, "Speaking of which, if the Ti Li Xi Bi E Si who set out back then faced the present Ti Ning and Ti Bao, what do you think they would say?"

"Probably they'd feel proud of themselves." Deng closed his eyes, "If her mother could also see this scene, she would certainly be proud of her as well."

"The proverb of fate reveals to Ti Li Xi Bi E Si: 'You shall become a thousand fragments, withering in foreign soil.'"

"So, if you feel lost, return here. I left my Weiyuan from the departure here, waiting for you—myself—to pick it up again."

Ti Ning reached out to the "self" in that memory, gently saying, "Don't worry, although *we* have long become accustomed to loss, only resolve and oath, Ti Li Xi Bi E Si will never forget. Every one of *us* has not forgotten either."

"The Fire Pursuit is a journey of continual loss; amid all that, life is trivial. The lamb's hot blood will not flow in vain, just as I and my mother."

Ti Li Xi Bi E Si: "Spilled libation must be repaid, just as my right hand gripping the sharp blade is not an empty ritual."

"Cross the myriad gates of Janus, and then, *we* shall once again—"

"Riding the west wind, spread wings and travel far."

Bai E: "This… is your answer."

"Indeed, in the name of the three aspects of fate: this is my answer, with no regret. Now, whether the gods are pleased or not… I will rush toward human suffering. If I truly can break through the world's shackles of darkness…"

Ti Li Xi Bi E Si turned and walked toward the mountain gate. Countless youthful voices overlapped with hers, as if a thousand years of time echoed from the other side.

"Let us reunite at the fragrant flower-scented end of the west wind."

Light Era 3760, Long Night Moon.

"The Saint of Janusapolis" Ti Li Xi Bi E Si, to quell worldly calamities, bore the fireseed, becoming Janus's Demigod. She passed through the "Gate of Ten Thousand Paths", splitting into a thousand messengers, delivering the creation divine decree across the land of Weng Falos.

After a hundred years of arduous journey…

Light Era 3870, Freedom Moon.

Humanity's Fire Pursuit Journey officially begins.

Offer blessings to a beautiful world.

"Ugh… I feel like crying."

Hui Hui covered her face, her nose feeling a bit sour.

She wasn't sad for Ti Li Xi Bi E Si, nor because she saw death. She was merely watching the thousand-year fire-pursuit history of Weng Falos, witnessing everyone's resolute, death-as-home attitude… When the weight of history slammed into her, that surge of emotion nearly overwhelmed her tear glands in an instant.

Within the Adventurers' Guild, many had already started wiping away tears, and A Ku Ya even moved straight into the stage of drowning sorrow with wine, clutching a bottle while sobbing and drinking.

"This is the source of Weng Falos's Fire Pursuit Journey," He Zhen said, gazing at the rolling black characters in the sky, unable to help but sigh, "From Ti Li Xi Bi E Si's departure to the start of the Fire Pursuit, a hundred years passed. Who knows how many Ti Bao have perished because of it…"

"Yet as the Gate Path Demigod, she has excellently fulfilled her mission. By the divine decree she linked all humanity together… Unfortunately, even so, Aohema still has many people opposing the Fire Pursuit Journey to this day."

Da Ke Ni Si, after a deep sigh, suddenly clenched her teeth, gripping her "click‑click" sounding fists: "... I really want to bind all those who oppose the Fire Pursuit Journey, then bring them here to repeatedly watch Ti Li Xi Bi E Si's experiences!"

"Especially that Ke Xia, he also opposes the Fire Pursuit Journey, right? To change his mind in the future, we must win him over. This scene from a thousand years ago must be shown to him in person!"

"Lord Ti Bao, do you still think… that everything will improve by tomorrow?"

Ti Bao nodded, "Hmm, Ti An would say the same."

Xia Die looked at the doll in the basket with a forlorn gaze, "Forgive my intrusion, but… Lord Ti Bao, you clearly know that the phrase 'see you tomorrow' is merely a kind lie. I don't want your strength to be just a forced smile of loneliness."

"A Die, that's not a lie," Ti Bao turned, looking seriously at Xia Die, "*See you tomorrow*… is the greatest prophecy in the world."

Xia Die paused, "Prophecy…?"

"Listen: on this land, at every moment, in every corner, someone awaits this prophecy's fulfillment. To bring tomorrow to the new world may be only a few heroes. Yet the prophecy that leads everyone toward tomorrow belongs to every person of Weng Falos."

Xia Die lowered her head despondently, "But not everyone gets a chance to reach tomorrow. How can such words be called a prophecy?"

"Because people believe it will come true. People try to believe it will come true," Ti Bao closed his eyes, speaking softly, "Even though the world now teeters on collapse, everyone still gives their all, striving to go farther, toward tomorrow."

"Precisely because of this, a guiding saint points the way to tomorrow—so the prophecy of Janusapolis appears in the form of a 'Gate Path'. Fate is not a result, but a process. It is not a flower that grows at the end of the road…"

"Rather, after crossing the gate, people head toward the sea of flowers, forging their own path."

"See you tomorrow… is the greatest prophecy in the world. What a romantic line♪"

Ailixiya sat on a swing, gently rocking her legs, gazing far into the tranquil scenery of the paradise, "Even now, as the apocalypse approaches, there are still people who hold hope for tomorrow. When civilization teeters in darkness, light continuously springs forth. This is the kind of humanity and world I love."

Kai Wen looked at the doll-shaped Ti An in the sky, sighing deeply, "Indeed, from the moment Ti Li Xi Bi E Si became a Demigod, she knew she was racing toward the death foretold in the prophecy. Yet she still stepped onto the journey without hesitation,..."
