"Speaking of which, would Eden be willing to sleep until 50,000 years later with me?"
He seemed to have never considered this question.
Eden loved him, but Eden also loved this golden era.
That's why the Eden in the game gave up her future, offering her final song for Elysia in the scorched earth filled with radiation, and also a final elegy for this golden era.
Between this era and him, Eden might not necessarily choose him.
After all, he had given up on saving the world from the very beginning.
Childhood sweetheart Eden belonged to him, but superstar Eden belonged to the world.
The childhood sweetheart Eden, who would eventually become a superstar, would not always belong to him.
Nor would she always choose him.
"What a difficult choice."
With many distracting thoughts, he chuckled and shook his head, kissed Eden's forehead, then put a flute to his lips and continued playing the Chang'an Melody.
The Eden in his heart would not choose him, who had given up on saving the world.
Therefore, he chose to try and save the world.
Even if he failed, he could ask Eden to run towards the future with him with a clear conscience.
And it wasn't necessarily a failure yet.
The survivors of the Previous Civilization were close to defeating the Herrscher of the End. As long as he could save more people with the Chang'an Melody, and leave more companions for them with what he knew.
Surpassing the Herrscher of the End was not impossible.
PS: It's hard to say who is being tested, but the Cocoon of the End will not give Ye Chang'an this chance. The title of the book has already given him away.
Chapter of Creation: Journey to a New World: 17. Eden Wants to Have Children Later
After staying in the protection of the army for seven days, Ye Chang'an and Eden boarded a plane back home.
Their trip was interrupted, and Eden had no desire to continue traveling.
Eden no longer wanted to experience such sudden disasters.
She was very afraid that she or Ye Chang'an would be forever swallowed by that disaster.
Although they had survived, she still didn't feel joy, only the panic of loss.
So after returning to school, she pulled Ye Chang'an and clung to him desperately, trying to feel the proof that they were still alive, and finally smiled exhaustedly.
"Chang'an, we're home."
"Yes, we're home."
Ye Chang'an smiled, closed his eyes peacefully under Eden's soft touch, and pondered how he should try to save the world.
Directly releasing the information he knew wouldn't work. Disaster talk would only be treated as a joke.
Even if it came true, it would only put him in a disadvantageous position, and he might even be captured by the military.
Eden's family background couldn't influence the military.
Therefore, his information still needed to be kept secret, at least until he possessed sufficient social influence.
As for the choice of fighting the Honkai... forget it.
He chose to save the world for Eden, so how could he put himself in danger? Losing his life would be a huge loss.
Moreover, he wasn't a master in terms of combat power. He could only bully MANTISes and Honkai Beasts, but facing an Arbiter would be suicide.
He didn't know the Tai Xu Sword God.
Of the Tai Xu Five Aggregates, he had only learned the Heart Aggregate and Form Aggregate. The Spirit, Soul, and Consciousness Aggregates were never taught to him.
In the words of Lin Zhaoyu and Crimson Cocoon: "These three aggregates are too far beyond you. Focus on cultivating your Sword Heart first."
To even think of touching higher-level things without even having a Still Water Sword Heart was a joke.
If you want to eat something in the pot, you need chopsticks first.
Therefore, he couldn't be the main DPS, nor could he carry the team.
Elysia could carry the team.
As for Kalpas... he was strong, but he probably couldn't be relied upon.
So, what Ye Chang'an could do currently was only support, supporting humanity to improve its Honkai energy resistance.
After the first Honkai outbreak...
"Chang'an, what are you thinking about? You're not saying anything. Are you tired?"
His contemplation was interrupted by Eden. This girl, who had recovered some of her strength, was secretly playing a trick, and the word "tired" was particularly loaded with meaning.
Ye Chang'an was displeased and immediately knitted his brows.
"How could I be tired? Even one more wouldn't tire me out."
Don't underestimate the physical condition he'd built up.
The only one who could get tired was Eden, and the only one who could beg for mercy was Eden.
In the end, Eden couldn't handle it anymore and fell asleep. Ye Chang'an didn't dwell on those messy thoughts either and closed his eyes to sleep.
Starting the next day, their lives became busy.
They had to prepare for a special concert.
They had enough songs, and there were many new ones that hadn't been performed yet, all of which had excellent effects.
While preparing, Ye Chang'an had tested the specific effects of the Chang'an Melody on students at the school.
It was still the same clueless testing method: inject them with Honkai energy until they developed Honkai disease, then use the Chang'an Melody to improve their resistance and suppress the Honkai disease.
The effect of the Chang'an Melody was exactly the same regardless of which instrument played it; there was no difference. It seemed the listening effect was consistent.
As for reciting and chanting it silently… it seemed to have no effect on these students at all.
Yet, reciting and chanting it silently worked for himself and Eden.
He didn't understand, but he didn't care. It worked when played for others anyway.
So, all he had to do was play.
But having only this one seemed like it would get boring quickly.
"Eden, is there a way to create more songs similar to the Chang'an Melody?"
He went to ask Eden for help, thinking that if Eden could modify the Sword Heart Art into the Chang'an Melody, she should be able to modify the Chang'an Melody into other songs.
As long as the effect was consistent, the wide variety of songs would be enough to sustain the public's rotation of listening.
"Chang'an, composing is your job. You can modify it yourself. I believe in you."
Eden was busy writing lyrics, so Ye Chang'an had to figure it out himself.
Diligence could make up for lack of talent. He should be able to do it.
If he couldn't, he'd conquer Eden first and then beg her to modify it.
Even after conquering her, he still had to beg. He loved Eden that much.
[Your special concert with Eden was held at the Binjiang Gymnasium and was a huge success.]
The gymnasium, capable of holding tens of thousands of people, was packed to the brim on the day of the concert. Ye Chang'an felt a bit awkward stepping onto such a stage for the first time, but Eden performed perfectly without any stage fright.
As expected of a woman destined to become a global superstar, Ye Chang'an felt inferior.
"Chang'an, Chang'an, we succeeded! We really did it!"
That night, Eden was so excited she was jumping around, making it impossible to believe she was the gentle and dignified singer on stage.
She only seemed to reveal this lively, girlish side when she was with Ye Chang'an.
Ye Chang'an felt happy and gave Eden a big reward.
The success of this concert increased their popularity. With just one concert, they had become a top-tier singer duo, even winning a prestigious music award.
Neither of them felt much about winning the award, but they dreaded the interview afterward.
A crowd of people with cameras and microphones swarmed in front of them, their flashes blinding.
The host liked to ask tricky questions, which annoyed Ye Chang'an so much he wanted to hit him with a flute.
"Mr. Chang'an, there's been a lot of discussion online recently about your relationship with your partner. Some say you're just ordinary childhood friends with no deeper connection; others say you've already promised each other a lifetime together and will officially tie the knot in the near future. Which of these two statements is correct?"
The host finally asked a normal question. Ye Chang'an and Eden exchanged a smile and kissed passionately in front of all the media.
"I guess I don't need to answer anymore, right?"
He looked at the host with a brilliant smile. The host quickly responded with congratulations.
This was undoubtedly a public announcement of his relationship with Eden to everyone.
As celebrities, this wasn't exactly appropriate.
But they didn't care if it was appropriate or not. The fact was the fact, so why hide it?
Being open about it would save a lot of trouble, preventing people from fabricating baseless rumors.
Ordinary celebrities needed scandals to generate buzz; they didn't.
Those who liked their music would naturally give them the attention they deserved.
"By the way, Chang'an, when are we getting married? After we become a superstar duo?"
On Ye Chang'an's 19th birthday, Eden asked curiously.
"We'll get married when we reach the legal age."
The legal marriageable age in the Mu Continent was 20, for both men and women.
"Ah, that early? Speaking of which, you don't happen to want children really early, do you? Can we wait a bit? I heard that women gain weight after giving birth."
Ye Chang'an's mouth twitched. He thought about the first Great Honkai, which hadn't occurred yet, and shook his head.
"We'll only have children after things have settled down."
He didn't want his child to be born into the apocalypse like Griseo.
Speaking of Griseo, he thought he'd seen a girl who looked a lot like her at one of the concerts.
Chapter of Creation: Journey to a New World: 18. Mobius is Out of White Mice
After breaking into the A-list, Ye Chang'an and Eden's careers became increasingly busy.
Tianyin Media arranged a global tour for them, ambitiously aiming to turn the duo into superstars of the era.
This small company didn't have the capability to create superstars, but after being acquired by Eden's family, it did.
Tianyin Media was no longer considered the boss; it was merely a logistics team serving the [Sleepless Chang'an].
To enhance their social influence, Ye Chang'an proactively spoke with his father-in-law about the matter, which led to the current situation.
He had his own plans and didn't want the management company dictating things.
He decided where the concerts would be held.
And his choice of tour route was quite interesting.
"Wherever disaster strikes, that's where we'll hold our concerts."
This was Ye Chang'an's selection criteria.
In the early days of the Honkai in the Previous Civilization, disasters like the Honkai were concealed. There were no leaks whatsoever online.
For instance, the minor Honkai incident they had recently experienced was under a gag order.
