Chapter 1615
"In the story's end, the characters took their bow and stepped onto a journey with no return. The one who helped write the romantic ending, though not part of the play… she and her friends bade farewell and returned to the home beyond her story."
"Promise me one last thing, Star…" Xilian gazed gently at Star, "When you say goodbye, smile, okay?"

Azure Archive.
"Don't joke! How could I possibly laugh about something like this!"
Qin Xiang slammed the table with a "thud," though she had been trying hard to hold back, tears still swirled in her eyes, "The ending of 'As I Have Written'—discussing this now feels like a final farewell… can we not say goodbye? I don't want to see the Golden Bloodline Members' story end here!"
Qin Xiang finally understood Hai Se Yin's feelings back then.
The endless Fire Pursuit Journey… even without dramatic twists, just watching the Golden Bloodline Members' daily lives would make her very happy!
"They still aren't truly alive, so what matters most now is… time." Bai Zi slumped in the chair, head tilted back to gaze at the nebula in the Sky Curtain resembling a flower bud, "Give them enough time to grow, and Wengfaluo Si will gradually become what it once was. And before the Golden Bloodline Members are fully formed, they can remain in 'As I Have Written'."
Xiao You Xingye yawned lazily: "Mm… this ending is actually not bad, huh."
"Where is it not bad?" Qin Xiang bit her lip, "The stories in 'As I Have Written' are all to be told, Wengfaluo Si's story has already ended…"
"No~" Yegong lightly chuckled, "Correcting that—precisely, the story of Wengfaluo Si simulated by the Scepter has ended. From now on, it's a story belonging to a new Wengfaluo Si, a story of tomorrow about to begin."
"I just don't know how long it takes for Xilian's 'seed' to grow into a 'flower'—surely it won't take hundreds or thousands of years?"
—
"I… I promise you, Xilian." Star nodded solemnly, "Every star the 'Trailblazer' sweeps past will remember the name 'Wengfaluo Si'."
"Only you showing off? That's frankly too unfair!"
"San Yue Qi and Dan Heng arrived at some point in the Viewing Carriage, standing shoulder to shoulder with Star, 'We'll supervise her, we must keep our promise!'"
Dan Heng: "Leave it to us, Xilian. Your story will be sung across many worlds."
Xilian smiled reassuredly: "Overly complicated stories always strain belief. If anyone doubts the truth of this story… you all must stand up for us♪"
"Put a hundred hearts at ease! Even the toughest mouth can't withstand our six fists."
"Truly reliable, San Yue." Xilian closed her eyes, signaling everyone to hush, "Shh, you listen—"
Suddenly, Walter's voice echoed from midair: "…this place, a book was left behind?"
Xingqiri stroked the thick cover: "Its composition is similar to 'Memetic Essence,' but far tougher than ordinary memory bubbles."
Ji Zi: "Keep it safe. Perhaps it is Wengfaluo Si's final gift to the Galaxy."
Pam's footsteps panicked: "No, no, not good Pa! San Yue passenger, sleepwalking in Pa!"
San Yue's eyes flew wide: "Dream, sleepwalk?! Oh no, oh no, I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of everyone…"
Star wore a mischievous grin: "Now I have a reason to linger a bit longer."
"... The calculations you're running in your head, I heard every bit!"
Xilian placed 'As I Have Written' before Star: "San Yue, Dan Heng, Star… in the countless days and nights ahead, you must continue to be each other's most precious reliance. Everyone, it's time to go home♪"

Absolute Zero.
"Bili—"
Nicole gritted her teeth, scanning the bill Bili handed her several times, then slammed it hard on the table, "When we return to New Ai Du, you must strip off that flashy outfit and sell it for cash!"
"Alright Nicole, calm down first, at least Bili has helped us quite a bit these days." Ling pushed the coffee and pastry toward Nicole, trying to soothe her, but just as Nicole was about to pick up the coffee…
"Bang—!"
Entering was a team in Space Patrol uniforms, led by a high-ponytailed, sharp-eyed Mare person, gaze sweeping the room swiftly before settling on Nicole.
"Nicole De Mara, trouble come with me." Higgledy spoke in a strictly official tone, allowing no room for discussion.
Nicole's face "whoosh" turned white, she waved her hands frantically: "Wait wait wait! I haven't done anything lately?! I'm law-abiding, never cheated or defrauded…… uh, at least not on Ruos Kelifa! How come suddenly——"
"This is a routine check." Higgledy said lightly.
"Routine check? Check what?" Ling also curiously leaned in.
"Turns out it's the Store Manager, didn't expect you here too." Seeing Ling, Higgledy's attitude softened slightly, "Store Manager, you don't know. The Space Patrol is currently organizing manpower for checks, targeting Wu Luo Jing Zi. As long as you confirm they're not Wu Luo Jing Zi, they'll be released immediately, won't take much time."
"Wu Luo Jing Zi? Me? You guys got it wrong?!"
"Uh……" Ling also found it hard to believe Nicole was linked to Wu Luo Jing Zi, rather, she couldn't imagine Nicole becoming an Envoy related to the 'Memory' Mingtù.
"Could there be a misunderstanding? Or what is the Space Patrol's standard for judging Wu Luo Jing Zi?"
Higgledy paused, then leaned slightly, speaking in a voice only Ling could hear: "The check targets all pink-haired women under Ruos Kelifa."
Ling: "……"
"Pink hair is currently the biggest sign of Wu Luo Jing Zi." Higgledy straightened up, regaining her stern tone, "According to my intel, not just Ruos Kelifa, New Ai Du is also conducting similar checks. The more unknown the background, the higher the suspicion priority."
"What about Remiel?"
Higgledy nodded: "In theory she should be checked too, but her whereabouts are always uncertain…… Store Manager, you know that."
—
"Leaving here also means 'As I Have Written' will be set aside. No one can revise it anymore, nor continue writing it." Dan Heng reminded from the side.
"Don't leave any regrets, Star."
Star nodded, after making sufficient mental preparations, slowly turned the page——
