Chapter 1632

Marusil spoke through sobs, uttering harsh words, though she knew she could threaten no one at all.

When she saw the Golden Bloodline Members all rise into the sky, that scene instantly inflicted a great trauma on her fifty-year-old heart; she even once doubted she would never forget Opherus in this lifetime.

"Star placed a ring on Xilian's ring finger... that ring, is it perhaps the ' ' of Opherus?" Leos suddenly asked.

"Well, handing Opherus's ' ' to the hand of the Opherus Heart also counts as giving this story a complete period."

Though spoken lightly, Qierchake only felt his heart hollow and empty, unable to muster energy for anything; the long Opherus Journey, a god-slaying plan concerning the First Genius, a cosmic crisis concerning their life and death, ended just like that...

It was as if bidding farewell to an old friend of many years. Their story had ended, yet about tomorrow's, a new story, no one knew when it would begin.

The worry over those future "death knells" for all of Opherus, the reluctance toward the whole of Opherus, and the regret over Xilian's inability to walk toward tomorrow—countless scattered thoughts, like embers of a campfire blown by the wind, floated back and forth in his heart, never landing anywhere solid.

It was like having a grand and long dream; upon waking, only an empty room remained, and outside the window, the stars still twinkled as before.

""Let this final page remain wordless.""

""I will wait on the flyleaf for you to begin anew.""

""Xilian slowly opened her eyes, gently gazing at Star.""

""When the train's blue light vanished into the horizon, Xilian, sitting beneath the tree, also gradually faded amid the dappled tree shadows, ultimately dissolving into a gentle ripple, returning to tranquility.""

""On the train, only a copy of 'As I Wrote It' lay quietly in a wreath, with a feather pen and Star's glove resting peacefully atop it.""

""This is what Opherus left behind, the gentlest testament of this long journey.""

Cheng Long's Adventure.

""Don't let Opherus end here, sob sob sob!""

Xiao Yu had just wiped her tears dry when she began shaking Cheng Long's shoulders desperately, "Uncle Long! Quickly think of a way! Don't let Opherus's story stop here!"

"Me, me?" Cheng Long pointed at himself, "Xiao Yu, stop shaking, where could we decide such things? Opherus's story has already reached a conclusion; the urgent matter is for you to quickly compose your feelings."

"But my mood is terrible." Xiao Yu drooped her eyebrows, head bowed and spiritless, pointing at her chest, "I feel as if a part of me is empty, lost and forlorn... I thought defeating the Iron Tomb would allow everyone to go to tomorrow, but if Xilian cannot go, I, I... how can I accept this ending? I simply cannot accept it!"

Previously, she had heard on TV that "in a person's life, only regret runs through from beginning to end"; when she first heard it, she didn't feel it, but now that "regret" truly descended, she knew how heavy these two words were.

"Xilian... will I still be able to see her in the future?" Xiao Yu suddenly recalled her earlier mention of November eleventh, on that day she liked most, wondering if a miracle would occur?

"Probably difficult, at least direct communication with her person is impossible." Cheng Long regretfully shook his head, "Perhaps during the time the Star Rail returns to reality, the Xilian within Opherus has already undergone several cycles of reincarnation."

"How could this be... there must still be a way, Uncle Long. Isn't the Star God a supreme existence? Erudition Venerate! If there is a future opportunity to connect with Erudition Venerate, could we see a way to save Xilian from His mind? The Star God is so powerful, there must be a way!"

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, on the verge of tears again, Cheng Long helplessly sighed, raised his hand, and rubbed Xiao Yu's head: "If you wish to see Xilian again... perhaps you truly must pin your hopes on the great power of other Star Gods, or a miracle."

""Mi... Mimi Mimi...""

""Mimi... Mimi!""

Mimi slowly opened her eyes, discovering she was outside the Ming Yun San Xiang Dian, all around empty, everywhere broken walls and ruins.

""Mi...... this... where... where?""

Mimi helplessly scanned her surroundings: "Mimi... lost..."

Suddenly, she heard a loud roar nearby, and even the ground beneath her feet began to tremble slightly, startling her greatly.

""——Mi!""

""Scare... scare mouse......!""

""Sound... where...?"" Mimi, afraid, drooped her ears, yet a hint of curiosity rose in her eyes, "Afraid... but... go... see?"

Mimi walked through the long corridor, discovering ahead a sealed and blocked great door.

""Door... heavy... pass... can?""

As expected, when she arrived before the door, the stone door seemed to receive some kind of induction, layer by layer opening, allowing her to conveniently arrive beneath the outer city wall of the Ming Yun San Xiang Dian.

""Road... broken...""

""Help... ages...!""

The next second, the broken road, under the power of ages, restored to its original state, and some illusory figures of children also appeared in the center of the road, just as a thousand years prior.

As Mimi continued forward, Dan Heng's voice sounded from outside the door.

""Indeed failed... now only we can rely on.""

Mimi felt somewhat strange: "Person... behind door?"

""Door... startled...... quietly... Mi!""

"..."

""... First need to find a safe place as a base. From the surrounding buildings, and this statue, Opherus surely has civilization..." Dan Heng turned his gaze toward the train belching fire behind him, "Bad news is, they may harbor hostility toward outsiders.""

""Mi...?""

"The story, completed at first encounter."

""As if fated, Star seemed to sense something, slowly turning—"

""Countless times reuniting with you, each time as if first seeing. Each time, 'love' will break through the stubborn cycle of reincarnation......"

""Fly toward the pink tomorrow♪""
