Chapter 701: Embers Rekindled

Deep in the Atlantic Ocean waters, inside a Sai ren ju dian.

Hai Lun Na sat at the console, looking at the screen ahead, and said to Feilong beside her, "Qin Ge Commander has already set out; we can also act."

"Understood." Feilong lowered his crossed arms, looking at the few figures ahead, and said, "After this operation ends, we will likely enter Qin Ge's Gangqu, so make up your minds; don't change your plans last minute, otherwise the scene will surely be ugly."

"You don't need to look at me; I already thought it over when I decided to join this plan." Gneisenau smiled and said, "Being able to fight side by side with Bismarck's people and watch her grow is wonderful."

"Same here; I originally planned to appear in the Guandao waters, but you stopped me, otherwise my side would now be surrounded by many destroyer sisters." A graceful beauty said this; although her words weren't graceful, she had a somewhat lovesick air.

Feilong frowned, "Royal Ark, although I don't want to comment too much on your preferences, but after going to Qin Ge Commander's Gangqu, I still hope you restrain yourself."

I don't want the reputation of our Embers to plummet in your place.

"Cough... rest assured." Royal Ark coughed slightly and said solemnly.

"Hmm." Feilong nodded, then looked at the figure beside Royal Ark, "Scharnhorst, how about you?"

"As long as he meets the standard of an excellent commander, I don't care." Scharnhorst said.

"This point, after spending so much time together, I can confirm." Feilong said, "He is a responsible and accountable commander; the Sentinel Project does have some risks, but he has avoided those risks, continually following the optimal solution algorithm."

"If that's the case, I think we'll get along pleasantly in the future. However, my personality is rather direct, as you know." Scharnhorst said.

Feilong did not answer; these things can only be gradually understood through future interaction, and others saying so is useless.

"And you, Fu Sang?" Feilong looked at Fu Sang ahead and said.

"As a future guide for us Sentinels, I wish to give blessings; if I can accompany by its side and witness its growth, that would be my honor." Fu Sang replied.

Feilong nodded, looking at the figure beside Fu Sang, "Shancheng... you should pay attention to your words and deeds; you and Qinglong are the same, because previously the Cube's over‑activation caused a rampage, and now, after being restabilized by that adult, it has appeared."

But it still retains some irritable temperament, so I don't want your temperament to cause trouble for Qin Ge Commander.

"Feilong cares a lot about that commander, don't you feel moved too?" Shancheng said with a laugh.

"Moved?" Feilong shook his head, "This is merely a soldier's respect for a commander, and he has proven himself to be an excellent commander."

"Really?" Shancheng laughed and said, "But I still think it's not enough, far from enough; you know we will later face the Xing Hai, which is not as stable as this world."

"But rest assured, I will train him well, so he becomes a truly excellent commander."

Hearing Shancheng's words, Feilong nodded and then looked toward Qinglong beside Shancheng.

"Don't worry, I will control my Cube and keep an eye on him. This is a rare opportunity, and we can fight side by side again, Feilong." Qinglong said.

"Hmm." Feilong nodded, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Afterward, Feilong looked at the figure beside Qinglong, "Memphis, how about you?"

"It's already decided; there's nothing more to say, after all we exist for this very purpose. Now there are no regrets; being able to fight for our future is what I look forward to." Memphis said.

"Then let's do it this way." Feilong said, looking at Enterprise standing on the other side, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Enterprise shook her head, "No... let's act; this is the beginning of everything, and also the moment when our Embers truly ignite into flame—whether we become fire depends entirely on you."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded and then vanished into the Sai ren ju dian. At this moment, only Enterprise remained in the outpost; she looked at the spot where everyone had stood, and for the first time a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

An ethereal voice came from behind Enterprise at that moment, "I haven't seen you wear such an expression for a long time—how long has it been?"

"Do you also have things you can't remember, Zero?" Enterprise turned her head and saw Observer Zero standing silently behind her, gazing at her.

"Although I can directly contact Laplace's Demon, even Laplace's Demon cannot calculate how many temporal singularities you have actually crossed.

"However, I'm sure if the Creator saw you like this now, they would certainly feel relieved." Observer Zero said.

Enterprise gave no reply, but simply turned her head to look at the place where everyone had just left.

After a long while, she slowly opened her mouth, "From the moment I was first born in that world, she has always taught me human behavior, telling me that even as a warship I can have dreams."

"Even later, in such perilous situations, she has always remained hopeful toward me; at that moment I decided I could not betray her existence."

"Actually, there's one thing I've never told you: the Creator and the Arbiter have already been resurrected." Observer Zero said.

"What!"

At this moment Enterprise couldn't control her emotions and directly turned to face Observer Zero before her.

"This is a fact, don't forget: that adult masters the Life Equation, and any life that has survived in that world cannot escape his grasp.

"However, the reason I didn't tell you is because that adult believes that world must not repeat its mistakes, so they altered the memories of those two individuals.

"Regarding everything after the Cube appeared, they remember nothing of it—not you, not us.

"Now they are merely two top scholars, striving to restore the primordial world with their own efforts." Observer Zero said.

Enterprise's eyes softened, "Not remembering is better; I also don't wish to make them relive that. Then may I go see them?"

"Yes, but what identity would you go with? An Embers warrior? A ship's representative? Or a child of the Creator?" Observer Zero asked.

Enterprise hesitated a moment, then raised both hands, "I don't know; perhaps this is a luxury—I don't know if I'm worthy to stand beside them again."

"That adult knows you will hesitate; he left a sentence for you."

"What words?"

"As a friend."
