Chapter 1604
Accompanying the Golden Bloodline Members' voices saying "See you tomorrow," time seemed to begin reversing.
One by one, extinguished stars reignited, like sparks being retrieved one by one. One after another, piece by piece, the Star Sea awoke from deathly silence, colors returned from the void, and the entire universe resembled a giant tree uprooted and replanted, completing in an extremely short time a long, irreversible healing.
After thirteen heartbeats, the universe returned to its original state.
"If the scenery in your memory has blurred……then reach out and touch it."
Like a seed that had slept too long, finally awakened by the first ray of spring sunlight after a long winter. A brand-new world was gestating in the radiant nebula, emitting brilliant light.
And in that light……Xilian gently took hold of the star's hand.
"Then, let it become the strength of the spirit once more."
Xilian smiled faintly at her, then led her forward in a run……leaping down from the high platform!
"Boom—rumble—rumble—"
The next second, the Star-Sea-formed Star Train roared through space, charging toward that brilliant nebula!
Light instantly became dense and warm, the train as if immersed in a sea formed by gathered starlight. And as the train sped, Xilian suddenly took the star's hand, reaching out to touch the barrier ahead that had once been like water.
"My partner, on the next page we write together, we need only do one thing."
"For this long, sorrowful, nearly futile story……"
The olive branch and crystal hair ornament on Xilian's head suddenly sprouted a sheet of white gauze. Countless stars gathered in her palm, condensed into a tiny point of light, held aloft——
"Write a truly gentle ending."
——
Dragon Clan.
"Reshape the universe? How, how could that be……?"
Inuyama Ga was completely dazed; he never imagined Xilian could possess such power—reshaping the universe is something only the Star God Fu Li could do, right? Isn't Xilian an Envoy?
"Could this be a bit too exaggerated?" Miyamoto Shigeo also found it utterly unbelievable. The Iron Tomb wields power beyond Envoy-rank, shattering the entire universe with a single strike—could it be that Xilian now also possesses power beyond an Envoy, directly restoring the whole universe?
This power, I fear, has already come infinitely close to that of a Star God?
Star God……
One Iron Tomb, one Xilian. Miyamoto Shigeo still experienced for the first time such a level of battle so directly. Though the Cosmic Locust Plague was only felt within the Simulation Universe, simulation remains simulation—no matter how realistic, it still differs vastly from reality.
"Now thinking about it, the essence of Wengfaluo Si's 'Ages' prayer is probably to reshape the past through 'memory.'" Yuan Zhi Sheng turned to look at the others in Shan Jian Tian, "Just now Xilian already reshaped the entire universe; strictly speaking, she who possesses this power is probably already the 'First Envoy' beneath the Star God."
"Then between her and the Iron Tomb, who is stronger?" Fengmo Xiaotaro asked anxiously.
"Since she is the 'First Envoy,' she must certainly be stronger than the Iron Tomb." Inuyama Ga replied, "But the power difference between them is probably not large—maybe six to four? If Xilian can subsequently revive others as well, she might reach seven to three."
"Your conclusions are too optimistic." Sakurai Nanami adjusted the half-frame glasses on her nose, "This 'First Envoy' I think is still debatable; you also don't know how many times the Iron Tomb's universe-sweeping attack can still be unleashed, nor how many times Xilian's power to restore the universe can still be used. If the Iron Tomb's heaven-destroying, earth-shattering shot is merely its ordinary combat move, then Xilian might also be helpless when the time comes?"

Qin Shi Ming Yue.
"So 'the final Recreation of the World' means this!"
Tianming happily pulled Gai Nie's sleeve, "Uncle Uncle, 'Recreation of the World' really created the whole world! No, not just one world……Xilian created countless worlds! And perhaps even our world has been restored!"
"But the problem is, shaping the entire universe through 'memory'—isn't that something only the Star God Fu Li can do? Why can Xilian also do it?" Seeing Xilian reshape the entire universe through memory, Duanmu Rong, though also happy, felt doubly puzzled, "Previously Kafka said a Wu Luo Jing Zi would ascend at the end of time to become the master of 'causality'; if that refers to Xilian becoming Fu Li, then what is Fu Li's current state?"
Xilian is simply too strong……the shock of her recreating the universe for herself even surpassed that of Iron Tomb's universe-destroying shot. If Iron Tomb has already surpassed ordinary Envoys, then what about Xilian? At this moment, even if she hasn't become a Star God, she likely has come infinitely close to one, right?
"I never thought the gap between Envoys would be this large." Gai Nie sighed deeply, "I thought generals like Jing Yuan and Feixiao were already outstanding among Envoys, but I didn't expect Xilian has already begun to touch the threshold of the Star God."
"The memories of Wengfaluo Si's three thousand million worlds grant her Envoy power, while the memories of all beings in the universe let her advance further on the path of 'memory,' reaching an unprecedented degree." Duanmu Rong lowered her head in thought, "Then do the other Wu Luo Jing Zi still need to compete with Xilian? The only one who can currently ascend to godhood seems to be her alone."
——
"Ahead are four barriers."
"White, blue, gold……"
The Star Train successively smashed the first three barriers; for a moment, barrier fragments flew around the train, and then——the fourth——
"Boom——"
Under this impact, the entire train body was forcibly twisted by immense force, its elongated body desperately compressed by inertia, shaking out a red lightning bolt!
But the final barrier was already covered in fine cracks, like a spiderweb stretched taut. The next second, the train vanished, and the star was flung outward by this immense force.
"The Huoyouzhe……has never been 'Destruction'! Rather, it is breaking through the cage……"
The star gripped the bat tightly, and golden flames blazed fiercely upon it!
In that instant, the silhouettes of countless Golden Bloodline Members appeared one by one before her eyes: Bai E's body riddled with wounds, Ti An's smile before dissipation……those in Wengfaluo Si's three thousand million world reincarnation, advancing forward one after another, using their lives to continue the Huoyouzhe's every moment.
"Their will, their belief, their 'tomorrow'——"
"All gathered in the star's hand."
"——Pioneer!"
Accompanying the star's roar, she swung the bat and smashed hard that final barrier, forged from hatred and destruction!
"Boom——!!!!"
Through the shattered barrier, Xilian's gaze saw Dan Heng and San Yue Qi instantly revived on the battlefield where they had previously dissipated!
"Then, let that brand-new future……"
The star landed steadily, pointing the bat in hand directly at the Reforge Object Master——
"As 'we' have written!"
