Let them go.

Aomo understands the seniors' pursuit of perfection, unable to relinquish the mindset that lets them say with a clear conscience 'I did my best,' 'I did everything I could,' but he certainly won't join them in that.

Let's produce: "Aomo can understand the seniors' strive for perfection, unable to let go of any feeling that would let them say with a clear conscience 'I did my best,' 'I did everything I could,' but he indeed will not go along with that."

It's not arrogance or recklessness; it's simply that, while dealing with problems early on, there is also a shortcut of bypassing running to achieve 'heart-to-heart communication.'

Monster cards.

It is both a common core component of the diverse training methods for the adult group and Aomo's main channel for deeply sensing their inner state.

Compared to other trainers, it's as outrageous as cheating, but after a few months Aomo has already 'promoted' many monster information containers to students at school.

If they don't understand this function or can't bring themselves to ask Aomo for help, that's their own problem.

Now making up for it in their own way is also appropriate, so let them go.

Aomo has more important matters.

Dream Cup. Long Distance.

Jingmen Racecourse, winter, clear, M.

Although there have been many bold statements, and further elaborated on the symbolic meaning of the Dream Cup. Long Distance being akin to a hero's final battle against the demon king, like a demon king subjugation war.

Let's produce: "Although there have been many bold statements, and further elaborated on the symbolic meaning of the Dream Cup. Long Distance being akin to a hero's final battle against the demon king, like a demon king subjugation war."

But for Aomo Lindun, the latter is not merely symbolic.

Although the meaning behind the Gate of Great Sin is far from being final for him, the concept of demon king subjugation is not far off. After all, no one stipulates that there can only be one demon king, right? A hero's life can face many demon kings, and can even become a demon king oneself; the issue lies with the concept of 'hero'... perhaps it's Xiao Lu, or perhaps Bi Ze could count, but in any case it's not that youth who would say 'I will become a monster here!'

We need to keep quotes. Use Chinese quotes? We'll use English quotes.

But fortunately...

Aomo: Bad news from the digital world, data activation is still steadily increasing; prepare to transfer to the digital world for battle at any time, don't get too immersed in Saichang, over.

Note Saichang is in glossary as Saichang. Must use that exact English form.

Thus: "Aomo: Bad news from the digital world, data activation is still steadily increasing; prepare to transfer to the digital world for battle at any time, don't get too immersed in Saichang, over."

Chao Cang Lu: Eh, okay.

Bi Ze: Ah? Really coming?

Thus, 'hero' is both a commendatory term and can be a derogatory term, because it often refers to those forced to rise up in revolt, so it is also often given the stereotypical traits of rashness, short-sightedness, and laxness.

The formation of stereotypes always relies on a notably observable base, and the current discourse is the best illustration.

As for exceptions...

Xiang Yuta: I and Gu Lite have been waiting with Shengjian Sang and them for your orders, Aomo Sang!

But need to keep punctuation. Let's produce: "Xiang Yuta: I and Gu Lite have been waiting with Shengjian Sang and them for your orders, Aomo Sang!"

Inner Sea General: Uh... that, Aomo, can I transform with you once more? Or... Kailifu, Sang? I want to help as before.

Let's produce: "Inner Sea General: Uh... that, Aomo, can I transform with you once more? Or... Kailifu, Sang? I want to help as before."

Some people are simply eager to try, which cannot be called a mature and competent performance, but others indeed have done enough to serve as a role model, prompting even a certain wanderer in the voice channel to voice praise.

Yes, this time Mr. Red Kai, who wishes to remain unnamed, was not late.

Although largely this is thanks to the human-emotional value of the Dream Cup. Long Distance—as the true finale for the four named horse girls under Aomo's command, many of Aomo's acquaintances came to show support for this reason.

【51】 It's even harder to say whether there are still many fans of Aomo in the Saichang stands.

Thus: "Although largely this is thanks to the human-emotional value of the Dream Cup. Long Distance—as the true finale for the four named horse girls under Aomo's command, many of Aomo's acquaintances came to show support for this reason."

It's even harder to say whether there are still many fans of Aomo in the Saichang stands.

Perhaps someone still harbors the idea of recreating last year's scene: attempting to witness Aomo's valiant battle in monster form in the astral realm from the best seats at the venue.

But it's hard.

Not to mention the association's emphasis on this Saichang, Aomo himself has also put great effort into preparing for its safety.

Among a large group of acquaintances who bought on-site tickets in the name of showing support, those pulled into the on-site security chat room could account for eighty percent.

Even Officer Mumu, who came from out of town with little police force to command, this pure atmosphere group also gets a share!

Originally it was the most observable personal network resource developed in Jingmen District, and it also allowed him to successfully apply for a new server rental qualification not inferior to the servers used in that earlier network war.

Although every second of the standby phase incurs a considerable cost, his networking leverage in securing sponsorship is also strong. Besides, even his old workplace, no other family cares more about the smooth organization of this event than the Symbolism family.

But if the Gate of Great Sin this time is also just a big thunder with little rain, a false alarm, then all these miscellaneous and extremely busy logistical preparations would be for nothing.

But by this point, Aomo Lindun's mindset will undergo a slight change.

Human patience is limited, and so is that of demons.

The first warning is to give you face; the second warning is to see if you're dangerous.

As for the third time?

There won't be a third time.

But this is not the 'boy who cried wolf' scenario; rather, he wants to rally a lineup no worse than during the second warning and break through directly!

The nature of the matter has changed, and his busyness has come to an end.

In that case, there is no reason not to take the initiative!

The demon's mind already has some calculations, but at this moment before anything begins, he is willing to put forth a little trust, believing that the breakthrough in the Hei'an region will respond to his expectations.

That is also an 'expectation' for his own fate's trajectory.

There ought to be a calamity.

Although he is an advocate of the notion that 'there should be no fate in this world,' this is merely his manifestation of disliking and loathing fate; it does not mean he will cover his eyes and pretend not to see the fate's evidence that is already extremely clear to him.

Especially concerning himself.

For myself, the past year and a half can be said to have been an experience of never finding peace; its big and small events, some were self‑caused, some were self‑encountered, some were even self‑sought, but regardless of the reasons, they have all contributed to my unfathomably rich experience, which has become, in the words of my classmate Xiao Lin Li Qi, the 'manufacturing' opportunity of constant tribulation.

【78】 To be frank, he doesn't dislike it—this is built on having made preparations.

Thus: "For myself, the past year and a half can be said to have been an experience of never finding peace; its big and small events, some were self‑caused, some were self‑encountered, some were even self‑sought, but regardless of the reasons, they have all contributed to my unfathomably rich experience, which has become, in the words of my classmate Xiao Lin Li Qi, the 'manufacturing' opportunity of constant tribulation."

To be frank, he doesn't dislike it—this is built on having made preparations.

So at the very beginning, Molisen's mishaps were repeatedly called by him the 'trench opening'.

Thus: "So at the very beginning, Molisen's mishaps were repeatedly called by him the 'trench opening'."

After that, his rapid growth and swift adaptation allowed him to excel, and now he is like Xin Tiao Qian meeting Alexander Kailifu, Xiang Yuta meeting Gu Lite, Mancheng Chazuo, Ailisuzhi, and others meeting himself; in that once peaceful yet boring life, he pieced together a no‑longer‑dull puzzle.

Chao Cang Lu: Eh, okay.

Thus: "After that, with rapid growth and rapid adaptation gradually reaching excellence up to now, he is like Xin Tiao Qian meeting Alexander Kailifu, Xiang Yuta meeting Gu Lite, Mancheng Chazuo, Ailisuzhi, etc., meeting himself; in that once peaceful yet boring life, he pieced together a puzzle that is no longer dull."

We need to keep the structure.

The desire that makes eyes gleam is merely the most superficial craving; true longing is an itch that spreads from the marrow to the limbs. That instinctive throbbing, before having ever received sufficient thorough satisfaction, is still tolerable, still merely a natural part of living in this world.

A plain and ordinary life is still life; there's nothing impossible about it.

Even if you are rotting, as long as you haven't come into contact with sufficiently vivid things, and as long as you aren't aware that you are rotting, you can still lead a rotting life that occasionally brings small joys.

Just as the saying goes, 'Instinct endures Hei'an, as long as one has never seen light.'

But everyone has already seen it, and also come into contact with it.

Having seen that dazzling, variegated radiance, and having come into contact with those that cause one's life trajectory to shift abruptly, thereby stepping into a realm that is both uncharted and yet distinct.

When preparation is not timely, that often becomes a series of crises, and will even turn into a series of blows.

But when you are fully prepared, it will be a wonderful adventure that you can still talk about with delight even countless years later.

You should pray.

Pray that at that time you are not sad about it, and pray that at that time you still have that vivid and exciting feeling with you.

For this, you should perhaps hold fast to the people and things that set you on that path.

But what if you were pushed onto that path by a fate that seems illusory and ethereal?

——Then don't let it be illusory and ethereal.

When he used thought as his pen, logic as his ruler, and further gained from a senior a deeper understanding of cause and effect, he felt that fate could be made tangible, could be sorted out.

As long as he is determined thus, as long as he puts into practice what he excels at and has learned, and as long as he keeps his goal focused solely on himself, then he will not only see clearly, but also look forward to the future with great expectation.

Whether it is a calamity or an opportunity to reap something new, it ought to be decided by oneself, as is the case now:

"Like strong light shooting into the eyes, letting an entire generation close their eyes to feel the despair of an eclipse! Dazhenhan!"

"Crushing monsters, breaking the curse of generational transition, the hegemon of the end of the century! Great opera!"

"Great common sense! Defeating countless outsiders, the emperor who wrote the magnificent book of the righteous path on the racetrack, Ludaofu Xiangzheng!"

"The beginning of the golden chapter! The performer who sweeps the grasslands with the wind of freedom! Or perhaps the avenger who continues the fate of the twin stars' conflict! Qianming represents!"

Tuohai: The active peak has already exceeded the previous observation range; it seems it really should be today.

Against the backdrop of that impassioned and stirring commentary, whose style differs from before and is more like a battle arena introduction, the helpless yet somewhat serious report voice is also being transmitted over the channel.

Thanks to Aomo now opening up upgrade permissions, Xiangyu Tuohai's words let him, without many words, cause countless people to tense their nerves.

Thus the battlefield they each must head to also gains a corresponding outline.

Like the sudden clarity at the center of a storm.

And purity.
