Chapter 1572

The stronger the guilt, the stronger the hatred toward Nan Nu Ke in the heart, and likewise, the power of Tumu will grow stronger with the anger of these three million ages. Xiao Jiu Wo gave a "hehe" laugh, floating onto Long Tao's head, "Tea Kettle, aren't you feeling scared?"

"Hey hey, don't scare him at a time like this." Ling Huan walked in holding an insulated cup, sat down beside Long Tao, and crossed her legs, "I'm still very confident about this battle against Tumu."

"Huh? How did this guy suddenly become so optimistic? Weren't you just saying not long ago that you wanted to move to an air-raid shelter or refuge or something like that?"

"Because I've figured something out." Ling Huan gently moved her index finger, "First, in the ending shown by Kafka, none of the endings are linked to the 'death' of Erudition Venerate. Even if the Astral Express didn't come to Wengfaluo Si, the worst outcome would be Black Tower becoming Emperor Three Generations."

"In other words, Tumu may be strong, but it's always been calculated to death by Erudition Venerate—no matter what, Zandal's plan won't succeed—this is the future Ailiou saw."

"That makes a bit of sense..."

"Now lying ahead are two endings: the first is Xilian freezing the entire universe, the second... well, that naturally means successfully killing Tumu? Now it's like cheating on an exam, peeking at your neighbor's answer, but not knowing the specific solution process."

"... Yes. Please believe us, lost souls. After crossing three million cycles of reincarnation, now, every Fire Stealer's light is enough to illuminate the path ahead. I beseech you, rest in peace here..."

Xia Die slowly extended her hand, and saw the Fire Stealer's body gradually turn into a handful of yellow sand, like a sand tower blown apart by the wind, silently returning to the earth.

"From that sorrowful soil, blooms the flower of enlightenment."

And at the place where he had just knelt, clusters of tender little flowers pushed their heads out from the cracks in the dry earth, very beautiful. And beside the flowers, there was a jar filled with gold coins, purple and yellow in color.

San Yue's expression was somewhat wistful: "No earth-shaking, mountain-moving, yet unexpectedly calm..."

Xilian: "Perhaps, 'Kaesulana' has already resolved its regrets."

Dan Heng reminded: "There's still a possibility that the seal he set up isn't just this one."

"Then, I too should set off with you all." Xia Die held out a purple flower to Xing, "Please take this Antiling Flower. I think, if anything could speak of 'Xia Die''s story... this ordinary yet strong flower is already sufficient."

"..."

Wandi beside them suddenly gave a light laugh.

"Perhaps you still remember, Your Excellency Wandi. When you traveled with Xing in that life, you said to me... 'Control what you can control, when the inescapable fate descends...'"

Wandi nodded: "Then use that strong will to resist its manipulation."

"I think I've already done it. In the ranks of the Fire Stealers, marching forward with head high and chest out... bidding farewell to the Death Name—'the maid of the next life, Xia Die'—hoping this forbidden name may be remembered by the starry sky..."

"And then, to live like humans..."

Xia Die's body turned into golden light that faded bit by bit before everyone's eyes.

"... to die like humans."

The Valkyrie of the End.

"Xia Die is a flower, Sai Feier is a gold coin, so Wandi is the jar? And this jar's color scheme—won't it be based on Bai E's aesthetic?"

Zeus stroked the little tuft of beard on his chin, momentarily at a loss for words. Bai E is excellent in every way, but this aesthetic...

If Bai E could one day truly head toward the Galaxy, he really should enroll in a class outside to improve his aesthetic sense. After so many years beside Aglaea, he's made no progress—it seems he's developed an aesthetic understanding all his own.

Probably even Venus would shake her head seeing it...

"Old Master, do you still remember that question you raised back then?" Shiva looked toward Zeus sitting in the main seat.

Zeus's hand, which had been twisting his beard, suddenly paused.

Why is the civilization of Wengfaluo Si so similar to theirs? Whether in architectural style or culture, even the names of these demigods like Aglaea... are all exactly the same.

Thinking of this, Zeus really feels a bit embarrassed. Earlier, when the Train Group first entered Wengfaluo Si, he boldly claimed he had been to Wengfaluo Si, that its civilization was spread by him, he just couldn't remember it himself.

"Old Master even went to spread civilization in the Scepter before, tsk tsk... being able to return completely intact from the Imperial Scepter is quite impressive."

Zeus still remembers Shiji's mockery back then; now his bluster has been exposed by the truth... he only feels his old face slapped, burning hot with pain.

"Alright Shiva, let's not bring up that question again." Zeus deliberately coughed, "For now, the Tumu issue is still the most important."

"Why are you being so sentimental?" Sai Feier asked suddenly.

"Sorry, just a habit."

"The road ahead was blocked by a giant stone. Sai Feier looked up at the stone, couldn't help but ask curiously: 'What a huge ball. Whose turn is it to perform?'"

"Xing tried using the Oluoniis Prayer to make the ball move backward, but after chanting the prayer for a long time, the ball showed no sign of moving."

"Sai Feier patted Xing's shoulder: 'No movement at all, Gray Child, haven't seen you in a while, have you regressed this much?'"

"'By the way, Sai Feier Miss, do the Dolos people... all like ball games so much?'"

"'Of course we like them—wait, that's not the point! The point isn't, is this guy blocking the road?'"

"'The 'Ages' Titan is someone else...'"

"Everyone turned in unison to look at San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue, who then realized, clenched her fists and rubbed her palms: 'Oh right, is it my turn to go out? Watch me! This fresh "Ages" divine power—'"

Xilian reminded her: "The Oluoniis Prayer, do you still remember it?"

"'Of course, don't underestimate me...'"

San Yue Qi Yue Yue Yue Yue Yue closed her eyes, extended her right hand toward the giant stone: "Uncover the memory's blanket—"

"'—stir up the ripples of the past!'"
