Chapter 1619

"Star: From now on, there will be no more farewells."

"Finally, only Bai E remained. He slowly rose to his feet: 'At last, the time to say goodbye has come. You were able to witness this moment… I am grateful, partner.'"

"'Can we still travel together, partner?'"

"'Of course. As long as *Ru Wo Su Shu* remains in your hands, Wengfaluo Si will always be with you. So, the last line I wish to write…' Bai E slightly lifted his head, his gaze seeming to pierce the front page and turn toward the boundless galaxy: 'Every person's heart holds a hero. Embrace it, then go chase the sun.'"

"'I hope those who read of him can summon the courage to face their burning lives.'"

"Bai E turned around, his silhouette gradually fading under the gaze of the starlight."

"'See you again at the next ash-colored dawn, partner.'"

"'Did you see it? Wengfaluo Si has finally welcomed the dawn.'"

"Dan Heng reminded from the side: 'The curtain call of the book's characters is complete. We… should also return to our own reality.'"

"San Yue Qi still felt some lingering attachment: 'But as those who experienced it, we can still add a few final strokes to this story, right?'"

"'Hmm, of course.' Dan Heng nodded slightly, and at the end of this story, he also left his own blessing: 'The pen will eventually break, the ink will eventually run dry, life will eventually fade, but thought shall endure eternally in the epic.'"

"San Yue also happily left her blessing on the front page: 'If time is an endless cycle—then forget the endless repetition of bitterness, and simply remember each joyful moment!'"

"——"

"Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan."

"Sigh..."

"Xu Changqing let out a long sigh, set his wine cup back on the table, and his face showed a trace of melancholy."

"Jing Tian slightly furrowed his brow, he turned his head to look at Xu Changqing, then at the sky curtain: 'Old Xu, I feel you've been acting strange today. You're not usually this mournful over spring's passing. It's hard enough to go out together for a drink, yet you've sighed several times already.'"

"'Isn't Wengfaluo Si's ending not so bad? Tumu was defeated, Huazuo was saved, and incidentally, we were saved too. Although the Golden Bloodline Members weren't revived, according to Xilian's words, they are at least on the path to revival. If this were our world, it would mean the Evil Sword Immortal was slain, the wounded city of Yuzhou began rebuilding, and everyone was lively and leaping about—a good thing.'"

"'Jing brother, you're right.' Xu Changqing fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: 'This ending is indeed good for Wengfaluo Si. But among all these people, only one was not mentioned.'"

"These words caused Jing Tian to instantly snap back to awareness, murmuring softly: 'Xilian…?'"

"'Exactly. Though parted from the other Golden Bloodline Members, whenever I think of the day Wengfaluo Si gradually takes shape and we reunite, I only feel it's been a long separation from old friends. But Xilian… she never mentioned what would become of her, which is unsettling.'"

"'Indeed, Xilian, while on the train, entrusted the star to carry Wengfaluo Si's story to the cosmos—clearly also a parting.' Jing Tian now realized something, discovering things seemed slightly off: 'Logically, she shouldn't need to say goodbye like the other Golden Bloodline Members, even if traveling with the star, that would still be acceptable.'"

"'Right, and Jing brother, don't you realize something?' Xu Changqing suddenly lifted his head."

"'What?'"

"'The prophecy left for Xilian only fulfilled its first half.' Xu Changqing took a deep breath, enunciating each word: 'You shall harvest at bloom, and the second half—'one like beginning and end born from conclusion'—has not been fulfilled.'"

"——"

"'Walking together toward tomorrow, we have never been parted.'"

"'Don't miss the Soul Society meeting! We won't wait for you on purpose!' After saying that, San Yue and Dan Heng's silhouettes vanished."

"'Goodbye, Dan Heng, San Yue~' Xilian gazed fondly at the already fully written *Ru Wo Su Shu*: 'We've arrived here—*Ru Wo Su Shu* is officially complete. We are its joint chief authors, Star.'"

"'When text leaves the author's hand and enters others' eyes, its meaning is no longer under our control. Leave the freedom of interpretation to every reader who opens it… Don't you find that very romantic? As for the meaning of this story in our eyes, let us keep it safely in our hearts…'"

"'Anyway, they've always been in silent understanding with you♪'"

"……"

"'Pam in reality gasped in shock: '…Wow! Three, San Yue passenger, you suddenly woke up, Pa! I was so startled I dropped the book on the floor!'"

"Ji Zi relieved: 'Welcome home, three of you. This 'pioneering' effort was also hard on you.'"

"Walter couldn't resist teasing: 'Counting the time you spent in Wengfaluo Si, the Soul Society's seniority might need to be rearranged.'"

"San Yue pointed at herself: 'Ah, I'm the first one dragged in! So, does that mean I'll become the big sister of the Astral Express?'"

"Xingqiri 'pfft' laughed: 'Even after enduring the baptism of long ages, San Yue Xiaojie still hasn't lost her pure essence.'"

"Dan Heng: 'Translated, that means no substantial progress.'"

"'——Hey!'"

"Star picked up *Ru Wo Su Shu* from the ground, held it in hand, and turned page by page. Dan Heng and San Yue also couldn't help but lean in: 'This is still… the first time I've been this close to examining this *Ru Wo Su Shu*…'"

"'Xilian Xiaojie's handwriting… soft yet with steel resilience.'"

"'…So it really has such particulars? Looks like I should also brush up on this knowledge.'"

"'You'd better just casually pick up a few books to get started.'"

"'Sounds like you're not hiding in your room every day scrolling on your phone, huh!'"

"——"

"JOJO's Bizarre Adventure: Rush Horse Wild Guy."

"'Everything's back on track. Looking back now, from going to a backward planet to replenish train fuel, to contacting the genius, resolving the plan for the First Genius's avatar Zandal, battling Tumu, saving Huazuo.' Johnny lifted his head to gaze at the boundless starry sky: 'Truly…… I've taken a very long detour.'"

"'Heh, Johnny…… travel isn't horse racing; occasionally taking a long detour isn't bad either.' Jolyne sat opposite him, poking the fire with a stick, watching the rising and falling sparks, Jolyne grinned: 'If you hadn't participated in Wengfaluo Si's tangled causality, avoided this long detour, and instead faced the newborn Tumu head-on from the start, you'd probably lose no matter what.'"
