Chapter 1467

Re: Starting Life in Another World

"The last time seeing Aglaea was Miss Haseyin's eternal farewell in this life; watching the girl who grew up from childhood gradually become the leader of the Fire Pursuers, and then die…… What kind of feeling would she have in the end?"

Emilia lowered her head, the layer of watery light floating in her eyes gently swaying. She also began to understand why Haseyin used intoxicating song to hallucinate herself—if she remained constantly awake, the news of the Golden Descendants' deaths would come one after another…… she herself would be the first to collapse.

At the Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela banquet, the Golden Descendants…… eventually all turned into foam. She became the loneliest person in the world.

"The emptiness and confusion in Haseyin's heart are probably not entirely due to life experiences; the 'Void' path simulated by the 'Ocean' also influences her." Subaru looked at the girl locked in water in the sky ceiling, and a question also involuntarily rose in his heart: "If so, what is the driving force of the 'Void' path?"

"Who would know this kind of problem? But are you trying to infer, via the driving force of the path, what characteristics the forces walking this path probably have?" Betty instantly saw Subaru's thought and said lightly, "But the forces of 'Void' seem not many; the main one appears to be the 'Ninth Agency' mentioned earlier by Miss Huangquan."

"The Ninth Agency she calls the 'End of Void'; honestly, I think believing in the Void star god is itself quite 'Void', after all He doesn't even glance at anyone."

Subaru leaned back on the sofa, shifting to a more comfortable pose, "Betty, I guess… they're probably researching the Void star god; on the Void path, it's like a ticket with no return—those who walk it will ultimately become part of Void…… Huangquan wants to go there probably because the Ninth Agency holds the method of 'return'."

"This is a city of celebration, with endless song echoing in the air. Golden Descendants, demigods, and mortals all come from all directions to attend the feast."

"It is beautiful and splendid, in the banquet resounding with the drama of the sirens. The sirens once wished the banquet would never end, yet they witnessed the music stop and people disperse."

"As a fish, born only to go with the flow, whether following violent waves surging or diving into the currents of the Star Sea."

"Until a thousand years later, the wandering fish from beyond the heavens finally took their seats——"

"Little gray fish, I like the banquet. And you?"

……

Having seen the king's gift, she fulfilled the demigod's destiny. The tide in her chest receded, her finale approaching.

Light poured from the cave's crevice, that was the sunlight piercing the sea surface. She could not restrain her yearning for light, swaying her tail as she swam toward the fissure.

In the deep sea a thousand years ago, the sirens also resolutely rushed to shore. Wherever they passed, schools of fish followed, accompanying the princess's funeral procession.

At the moment she leapt out of the water, she felt the waves raised by laughter. The faint remnants of her companions appeared and disappeared, the merriment on shore just as she wished.

"Duanfeng Marquis's blade tip cut earth-beast meat, Donglin Marquis threw an ice cup that frosted. Yanshi Marquis poured her full mead, Yin Feng Marquis unfurled a new scroll of poetry……"

"We've been waiting for you, the tardy musician."

"Goldweave's silver needles hung in midair, weaving her beautiful attire. Hailiqula received the nonexistent gift, salty water dampening the new clothes."

"She knew this was not real, just as the world she loved was merely foam in the Star Sea."

"Even so……"

"She swallowed the rosy light in the cup, intoxication flowing from her fingertips into the melody."

"In the drunken haze gifted by her mother, in the hallucination bestowed by that intoxication, in the feast granted by the hallucination……"

"I also want to fully enjoy the banquet."

Sober, she opened her final performance.

——

Qin's Moon: Tian Xing Jiu Ge.

Zixuan Pavilion, deep in the elegant pavilion, candlelight swaying red.

"Is this Miss Haseyin's ending in this life?" Zhang Liang stared, lifting his head, seeing countless Golden Descendants from past banquets walking toward Haseyin; the scene was dreamlike and illusory, like moonlight reflected in water.

Han Fei leaned sideways against the desk, gently shaking the cup with its dregs, looking up at him: "How is it, Zifang, you can't bear to part with Miss Haseyin?"

"That's natural." A hint of sorrow crossed Zhang Liang's face; he sighed long and shook his head: "Although the Star can use the ritual sword to rewind time, letting everything start anew, Miss Haseyin's fate will not change because of it—her sovereign will still choose sacrifice, she will still endure a thousand years of solitude…… sigh, Han brother, you've always been open-minded, but I find it hard to let go lightly."

"Zifang, every Golden Descendant has their own fate; in my view, she fulfilled her mission, received the gift of her beloved, then walked toward the end of this life in the illusion…… though there remain regrets, it is also the best outcome among thirty million worlds."

He raised his head and drained the remaining wine in one gulp; unlike Zhang Liang's dejection, Han Fei's eyes showed a hint of anticipation: "However, Zifang, this time the Star's time reversal could indeed bring the full memories of this life, Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela, and Haseyin. Moreover, Laigushi himself has been restrained by the two geniuses; if nothing unexpected happens…… the next Fire Pursuit Journey will be the smoothest."

"Perhaps we could give Miss Haseyin an ending gentler than this life?"

"The musician plucked strings in the spring, the swirling skirt raising water waves, stirring up countless pasts."

"She sang of the once-sober Titan, the princess accompanying the queen roaming the azure sea. She sang of the vigorous monarch, the knight accompanying Caesar in conquering the solemn city-state."

"She sang of the heir who answered heaven's call, the demigod bearing a thousand-year vigil for the hero. She sang of that little gray fish, the sword banner restraining the world-ending tsunami to save the lord."

"She sang of herself, a cup made of bone and strength, always waiting for people to dispel the void in the cup, filling her with the mead of fate."

"She sang until her voice hoarsened, the spiritual water in her embrace dried up."

"The mead drained, the notes scattered. The banquet illusion shattered accordingly. Before the silent shore, she revealed a smile before turning to foam——"

"Fish from beyond the heavens, we will sink into the past."

Because she has seen the sky beyond the cave, she is willing to believe in the future promised. Embracing a faint hope.

"You must carry the new sun and swim toward the distance."
