When the bell of mourning rang, the temporary bubble that only existed for a night outside the present realm was shattered.
Countless illusions dissipated. In the empty world, the old creator slowly looked back and looked at everything that she had created in her life.
Now, everything would pass away with her.
This was the last moment of her death.
When she turned around, she saw a slender figure who had appeared out of nowhere. The black dress flowed on the ground like water, and the red gold embroidery outlined a complicated coat of arms that conveyed profound mysteries …
After so many years, she did not seem to have changed at all. Her smile was still the same.
When one looked carefully, it was difficult to see her face. One's eyes would only be lost in the thin halo, leaving no impression or memory.
However, one could feel the majesty that made one's soul tremble.
"Yo, long time no see!"
The woman who suddenly appeared smiled and raised her hand.
"Yes." Evelyn nodded and sighed softly. "Long time no see … Unfortunately, there is not much time left for me. What a pity."
She patted the place beside her. "Do you mind sitting with me for a while?"
"Of course."
The woman came forward and sat beside her. She looked at the wrinkles on her face, and her eyes became sympathetic. "It has been hard on you for so many years."
The old man shook his head indifferently. "For the Republic, isn't this something that should be done?"
"The Republic has been shattered, just like the Republic. I have reminded you on the day it was established. "
"But the mission still continues, doesn't it?"
The old man chuckled. He opened his backpack and pulled out the box that he had been carrying for many years. Then, he handed it over. "This is for you. I had thought that I would never have the chance to give it to you. However, it is great to be able to meet you."
The box was opened.
It was bright gold. It was a holy tree that seemed to grow out of gold, and the slender box was just one of its branches.
After so many years, it still carried a stubborn vitality that was difficult to extinguish, and its fragrance was still there.
The woman was stunned for a moment and looked up in disbelief. "You found it especially for me?"
The old man shook his head. "It is just in passing. Don't feel bad."
"… Thank you."
The box was carefully closed. She sighed softly. "At least there's one more possibility."
"It's not easy to hear your gratitude." The old man laughed heartily and patted his knee. "Although it's hard work, it's not a loss to be thanked by you once."
"How about you sacrifice yourself for the gods?"
Her slender arms intimately wrapped around the old man's shoulders as she asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you? Don't worry and make your wish boldly. I'm not the stingy type … "
"That's all."
The old man shook his head and thought for a moment. "It's not easy to see you. Why don't you accompany me for a while?"
"Isn't that natural?"
She held the old woman's gradually tired body and gently accompanied Evelyn by her side.
The two of them quietly stared at the shattered dream. They watched as the sky gradually dissipated, the earth collapsed, and everything disappeared into the darkness …
From the crack in the bubble, the magnificent light of the Emergence Realm was revealed.
The beautiful rainbow-like light reflected in the old woman's eyes, making her eyes seem as if they had been lit up, resplendent and flawless.
There was no loss, and there was no regret.
She just quietly stared at the world that she had spent her life guarding, as if she had seen this magnificent creation for the first time.
The pure eyes of a child were shining.
"Look —"
She murmured in a trance, "This world is so beautiful."
"Yes."
The gentle voice that accompanied her softly recited, "Look at the swaying world carrying the sky. Look at the earth and the ocean and the distant sky. Look at how everything sings for the future … This is the world that you have created, the era that truly belongs to you."
"This is the honor and reputation that you deserve in your life." The solemn and gentle voice told her, "I will witness you, just as you once witnessed me."
So, the old woman smiled.
She was satisfied.
As the mournful bell in the distance gradually dissipated, a crack quietly appeared on the old woman's face.
"Is it my time?"
"… Yes."
A pair of arms gently hugged her, stroked her white hair, and gently said goodbye, "Goodbye, my little Cheshire cat."
"Shouldn't it be goodbye forever?"
The old woman smiled and sighed softly, "Goodbye forever, my friend, goodbye forever …"
In the silence after the bell, she fell into a deep sleep.
Along with the bubbles, she sank into an eternal sweet dream.
She didn't wake up.
.

Huai Shi finally opened his eyes.
He felt thirsty and weak, as well as waves of dizziness.
It was as if he had a hangover, and he couldn't help but collapse. His Origin Substance had dried up — the Witch's Night had consumed too much of his Origin Substance. Even though he had an abundance of Origin Substance, he couldn't help but have a splitting headache.
He didn't know where he was.
Then, he saw the saddle bag that had appeared at his waist at some point, as well as the familiar ten fingers and the familiar ceiling.
He had returned home.
It was as if a lifetime had passed.
Although time was speeding up, the long, long experience still made him feel an indescribable exhaustion and sleepiness, as well as a deep sense of doubt.
Was he in a dream or in reality?
Was he the child of the past, the giant beast just now, or the young man now?
It was hard to tell.
While he was deep in thought, a white hand suddenly reached out from the side, holding a cup. It broke his daze and pulled him back to reality.
"Coffee, freshly brewed. Want some?"
He looked up and saw a delicate, impeccable face, as well as a slight smile on her lips.
Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh. "It's rare to see you like this."
"I went to see an old friend, so I had to put on some makeup." Crow shrugged. "Judging from your appearance, you must have gained quite a bit, right? Do you want some coffee? The kind with a sleeping agent added. "
Huai Shi climbed out of bed. He didn't take the cup, but he couldn't help but open his arms and hug her tightly.
Crow froze, as if she had been frightened.
"I haven't seen you in so long that I'm not used to it." Huai Shi awkwardly let go of her. He realized that he had been rude, and then said earnestly, "Thank you."
"Hm?"
Crow looked away and took a sip from the cup. "I don't remember doing anything good."
Ah, crap.
She suddenly realized that she had forgotten to add sleeping pills to the coffee …
Huai Shi left her there and rushed out of the basement. He ran into the living room and shouted into the kitchen, "Fang Shu, I'm back."
"Ah, Young Master, welcome back." The old man in an apron poked his head out. "Breakfast is almost ready. Do you want the eggs fully cooked or …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Huai Shi rushed forward and gave him a big hug.
The old man was stunned for a long time, and then he felt a little embarrassed. "Did something happen?"
"No, nothing. I'm just very grateful to you."
Huai Shi took two steps back and waved his hand. "I'm going out first. It's urgent. I'll come back for lunch at noon."
"Ah, Young Master, wait a minute. At least first …"
Before Fang Shu could finish, Huai Shi had already pulled his coat and pushed the door open. He ran wildly, dragging the bicycle that he had just repaired and pedaling with all his might.
He headed to the city.
He didn't know how Fu Yi was and if she was in any danger.
He had to confirm it. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
The bicycle that had just been repaired creaked under the rough pedaling. Huai Shi sped all the way and rushed into the city. He didn't even have time to stop the bike before he left it beside the stairs and rushed into the hotel.
"Ward round."
Without explaining, Huai Shi directly slapped his ID on the desk at the front desk. "Hurry up. Fu Yi should be staying here, right?"
This time, unexpectedly, the front desk didn't doubt his age. Perhaps he was directly convinced by the persuasive power of the soul link. He quickly pulled up the records and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Huai Shi frowned. "She's not here?"
He had clearly sent her to the hotel yesterday.
"No, Ms. Fu Yi did stay here last night." The front desk raised his head in confusion. "Five minutes ago, she checked out. She should have just left."
They brushed past each other.
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time.
However, according to the front desk, Fu Yi didn't seem to be abnormal. Instead, she seemed to be alive and kicking. She shouldn't have suffered any harm.
But to run away without even saying goodbye, she didn't have him as a good brother in her heart at all.
This suddenly made Huai Shi a little disappointed.
After walking out of the hotel, he felt a wave of fatigue. He sat on the stairs and stared blankly at the traffic in the distance.
The doorman didn't know what he wanted to do, but because of his ID, he didn't dare to drive him away. He could only stand in the distance and watch with some worry.
In the silence, light footsteps came from behind him.
A rather sturdy looking dog walked over, passed by him, stopped, and then skillfully raised one of its hind legs and sprinkled a string of liquid with a strong smell.
Finally, its tail wagged proudly and swung past the tip of Huai Shi's nose.
"Even a dog dares to bully me!"
Huai Shi woke up from his daze and couldn't help but be angry. But when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The classic black and white color scheme, the icy blue eyes, the unruly gaze and the devilish smile when he grinned, as well as the overly large physique …
Why did it look so familiar!
And why was this stupid dog looking at him with such disdain!
"Ah, Huai Shi! Huai Shi! Don't run around! "
In the direction of the parking garage, a panicked voice sounded, "Come back quickly! Ah, why did you pee! I'm sorry, I haven't bought a rope yet, sigh... Huai Shi, why are you here? "
"..."
Huai Shi turned back helplessly and looked at the embarrassed Fu Yi. He then looked at the husky that was playing happily at Fu Yi's feet, pointed at it, and then pointed at himself.
"What's your name?"
"... It's a long story."
Fu Yi awkwardly reached out and violently pulled the tail that was sweeping Huai Shi's face, and pulled the husky back.
After the prank, the husky even grinned proudly at Huai Shi, revealing a mouth full of small sharp teeth with a metallic color.
The behemoth in dog skin sneezed and squatted down obediently next to Fu Yi. Its noble head was raised, and its icy blue eyes were bright and full of expression, looking very majestic.
In the indescribable awkwardness, Fu Yi reached out and pointed at a rope that was exposed in Huai Shi's saddlebag. "Can you lend me the rope? It even chewed up someone's bumper just now … "
Huai Shi lowered his head, opened the saddlebag, and looked at the collar inside, and the dog in front of him.
He was stunned for a long time.
His expression gradually became very interesting.
In the end, the teenager's shoulders shook, but he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
It was as if he finally felt this little joke from fate.
He was overjoyed.
