~7 min read 1,224 words

"You shall reap at the time of blossoming, just as the end gives birth to the beginning." Xilian slowly closed her eyes, "It seems the time of parting has come."

"Taizi, are you leaving? It's alright, I'll wait for you to come back. What you taught me today, I will study seriously."

"So speaking, I still haven't answered you what 'love' is." Xilian slowly turned around, "But actually, dear friend, before I met you, the 'compassion' factor didn't understand 'love' either. Until I used my trembling voice, in this small room, to tell you all the sorrowful stories, and told you: I love them, I love everything in this poem."

"The story comes, passes, goes and returns. Let us reunite, and let us part. Finally, it leaves behind a seed, a reason. Even if the tree withers and all things fall silent……some feelings remain, still worthy of being remembered."

Saying this, the figures of Star and Dan Heng appeared behind them, Xilian looked at them with full anticipation.

"Look, the light is coming in. The light of the 'Savior' will shine upon Wengfaluo Si."

"Hmm… although I still don't understand. But people believe in Taizi." De Miu Ge imitated Xilian's tone, slowly opening her arms toward her, "Let's look forward to it. Next time we meet, it will be my turn to tell you the story of 'love'♪"

Xilian smiled knowingly: "Then I must look forward to it well? Since that's the case, I want to make a promise: I want to give you my pen, my books, and even my name, all together."

"Please treat them as beautiful blessings. When I first wrote poetry, I gave myself this pen name: 'Xilian'. I hope words are like pebbles dropped in water, cast from the past, sending ripples toward the future. In the stories you write, perhaps it cannot be avoided, there will still be sorrow and tears destined to fall."

"But, can you promise me? To forever be a gentle flower, when the stars look upon you……"

Xilian placed the back of her hand behind her, slightly bowed, her smile like a flower.

"Just smiling, just loving."

——

Ha Li Er Er Potter.

"You shall reap at the time of blossoming……could the 'blossoming' in this divine revelation refer to De Miu Ge, this 'Memory Flower'? When she blooms, that is also when Xilian 'reaps'."

"Wait, this prophecy——"

Hermione kept thinking and grew more frightened, the first half of the prophecy clearly indicated the fate of Xilian and De Miu Ge, but De Miu Ge is the 'Envoy' of 'Memory', could there be an even higher 'Existence' that, as early as thirty million ages ago, had already prophesied the fate of the Memory Envoy?

Star God Fu Li?

Hermione violently shook her head. She couldn't even say what she was denying, she just felt this guess was utterly absurd.

"You've noticed too, haven't you? This is a prophecy that, as early as thirty million ages ago, 'foretold' the fate of the Memory Envoy." Ha Li Er Er slowly closed the notebook in his hands, slightly tilting his head toward her, "Besides Star God Fu Li, there is probably no second person who could have done this?"

Ron stared wide-eyed, unable to believe his eyes at the two of them: "But Fu Li would give to humans——no, to be precise, not even humans, but rather a string of electric signal prophecies?"

"I know this is hard to believe, but perhaps this is the answer." Ha Li Er Er spread his hands, "And compared to this, I am more concerned about the second half of the prophecy: 'Just as the end gives birth to the beginning.' How should the end give birth to the beginning? Shouldn't it be the beginning moving toward the end? Why is it reversed?"

——

"Hmm."

"De Miu Ge closed her eyes, slowly clasping her hands together, as if carefully holding a small lamp, gripping the faint light in her palm."

"Of course, this must be a romantic story unlike any before."

Xilian gazed at her with a bright and gentle smile……until her body began to gradually turn transparent, finally dissolving bit by bit in this light.

"You think so too, right♪"

"Hmm, just like flowers blooming and falling, I speak, you listen. I await my reaping, becoming the nourishment for the next flower to bloom. And you will set forth, holding that star, together with her, planting an endless flower sea on the last page."

"And our story, will lie quietly among the flower clusters, just like every ripple of 'Memory'……"

"That poem titled 'As I Have Written'."

A purple star streaked past Xilian's head, passing through the gate of the Great Tomb. Xilian did not hesitate, she stepped forward, following that same star as it passed through the door.

"Thus, 'my' story ends here."

Behind the door, countless memory fragments floated in the sky, they were like mirrors shattered by memory, each piece reflecting a similar yet different her.

Xilian's body kept changing as she advanced, her mature form began to become petite, finally, upon passing through a mirror surface, she turned into a tiny, pinkish Mimi——

And she, finally, grasped that star.

"From now on, it is 'your' story."

The star turned its head in the train, only to see a fluffy creature floating beside itself, it looked like a pink rabbit, with blue eyes that seemed to glitter with a bright star.

"Memi~"

——

Absolute Zero.

"Strung, strung together! Connected end to end, this is what happened when Mimi met Star!"

Ling stared wide-eyed in surprise, for a moment she actually felt choked up: "So this is it……Brother, it really is this! De Miu Ge has always accompanied Star, the Thirteenth Titan has always been by Star's side!"

"Yes, Ling. Mimi is De Miu Ge, everything is just as the Black Tower Lady said, De Miu Ge, who had just joined the Wengfaluo Si calculation process, was extremely weak, and during her adventure with Star, she continuously gathered Wengfaluo Si's memories bit by bit into 'As I Have Written', her own memories also gradually recovering……so her language system would slowly recover."

Until seeing this scene, Zhe Ye finally came to a sudden realization.

"The reason Mimi is attracted to Star is also because she has a Star Core in her body? From the moment Star entered Wengfaluo Si, De Miu Ge has already begun responding to her. Da Xilian became Xiao Xilian, then to Mimi, memories continuously fading……then through Wengfaluo Si's experiences, Mimi gradually grew again into Xiao Xilian, then into Da Xilian after the Recreation of the World. The memories of thirty million ages have all become nourishment for De Miu Ge."

"Taizi is truly amazing! But……" Nom's tone suddenly shifted, seeming to become dejected again, "Will we still be able to see Taizi in the future? I am also very reluctant to part with her."

"This is……"

Looking at Nom's sorrowful expression, Ling wanted to speak but held back, everyone present clearly understood, that prophecy is absolutely fulfilled. Taizi, she has already 'reaped' at the time when De Miu Ge 'bloomed', any attempt to bypass the prophecy is essentially futile.

It's just unclear what the second half of the prophecy means, could it be that the Xilian embodied by Mimi must take her place to fulfill it?
