This morning, before boarding the plane, Mei specially bought herself a cell phone. Hmm, this girl is just like Mei, a financially independent young lady.

After finishing her lesson with Mei, Bai Ge took a shower and lay down on the bed. Elysia Alicia hugged her tightly.

"Mei is so mean, I hate Mei the most."

"Aili, lying doesn't suit you. The Elysia I've known has always been an honest girl who stays true to herself. Besides, since this is a journey, we will inevitably make connections with people all over the world along the way."

"... Bai Ge, you have always been like Bai Ge who belongs to me alone. I can share my flowers, my photos, and my time with Mei, but I just don't want to give you to someone else, and I don't want to embark on a journey alone."

Elysia buried her face in Bai Ge's chest and said.

Perhaps at first she could travel the world alone, but now she can't, because traveling side by side with Bai Ge is just too wonderful and blissful.

Elysia realized that this journey was important to her, and in the process, she felt herself being shaped, her heart becoming more complete, and her soul becoming more radiant.

This is her journey to find her true self.

However, even such an important journey seems less important compared to Bai Ge.

This is a truth that Elysia learned.

The most important thing about a journey is not the scenery or the rewards, but the people who accompany you on your journey.

"Silly Aili, have you forgotten?"

Bai Ge patted Elysia's head and chuckled.

"Huh?"

"On the night before we set off, we made a promise that we would stay together all the way to the end of the journey, to find the Eternal Pure Land that belongs to you, no, to us. And... how could I bear to leave you?"

Bai Ge embraced the adorable girl before him and whispered their initial vows in her ear.

Elysia narrowed her eyes. Bai Ge's voice tickled her ears, and she subconsciously rubbed against him, like a cat inviting its owner to play with it.

Upon hearing Bai Ge's words, the girl's worries vanished, and a smile more radiant than any flower bloomed on her face.

"I'm sorry, Bai Ge, I just said something stupid."

Yes, how could they have broken up?

Instead of worrying about this, you should think about where to go tomorrow and have fun, and finishing your meal would be more meaningful.

They will stay together until they reach the end, and the journey is called life, and its end is called death.

Therefore, only death can separate their clasped hands, but... that will certainly not befall them.

"It's okay, goodnight my dear Aili. It's getting late, you should get some rest."

"Okay, goodnight Bai Ge, let's meet again in our dreams."

Their foreheads touched.

Their eyes met tenderly.

Finally, he closed his eyes with reluctance.

The two prayed that each other would appear in their dreams tonight, and hoped that when they woke up tomorrow, the first thing they saw would be his/her image.

After that, Bai Ge and Elysia continued to travel, day after day, year after year, and gradually their footprints covered the whole world, and they also experienced countless encounters.

They encountered a girl aspiring to become a classical music star and pursuing art; a boy dreaming of becoming a vigilante and a champion of justice; and a brilliant magician, or perhaps an inventor? They witnessed each other's Miracle??? performances, and so on...

Those were countless encounters.

Bai Ge and Elysia had received kindness from strangers, and were warmed, moved, and encouraged by it.

I have also been subjected to unwarranted malice, and have been deceived, exploited, and betrayed by them.

They have slept in five-star hotels and made do on park benches. They have played on the streets to raise enough money for their trip and have been involved in countless troubles.

This trip may not have been entirely smooth sailing, but it was still incredibly wonderful.

If we compare life to a book, with each day representing a page, then for ordinary people, each page is like a photocopy of the previous one, with little change.

But every page of Bai Ge and Elysia's lives is filled with new stories, new encounters, and new scenery. It's only been a few years, but it's been far more exciting than a normal person's entire life.

And in the process, the two of them grew up together.

"Bai Ge, do I look good today?"

Inside a clothing store in a certain city, a girl wearing a white dress with pink trim and a straw hat asked a question to the boy in front of her.

All the customers in the store focused their attention on the two of them, because one was too beautiful and the other too handsome, like a princess and prince who had stepped out of a fairy tale.

Elysia's long, slightly wavy pink hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of her head. Several years had passed, and she had grown from a girl into a young woman, graceful and charming. She had grown up quickly and now possessed an incredibly alluring figure; her smile alone was enough to captivate a city.

"Aili, you are the most beautiful no matter what."

Bai Ge offered sincere praise. Years later, he had grown from a boy into a young man, his snow-white hair flowing down his back, his golden eyes noble yet gentle. The air of a traveler who had seen the world gave him a refined and elegant appearance.

Of course, when the two stand together, the world seems to brighten up, and people in their hearts exclaim that they are a perfect match!

"But why do you suddenly want to buy new clothes today?"

"Oh dear~ I'm about to go to the organization for a report, so of course I want to leave a perfect first impression."

Is that all?

"... I also want you Bai Ge, to say I'm cute."

"Hehe~ That's more like it. My Aili is the cutest in the world."

Listening to their oblivious conversation, the other customers in the store couldn't help but smile like doting aunts. Ah, I've never met such a sweet, well-matched, and adorable couple before! Awesome!

Some people also noticed that both Bai Ge and Elysia had a silver badge on their clothes, depicting a winged creature in flames.

Both of them had now joined the Moth Chasing Fire.

The reason for this goes back three years.

Bai Ge and Elysia, who were on their way to their next destination, were suddenly caught in a sudden crisis when all their plane and bus journeys to the next city were canceled.

While most people could only wait for the traffic restrictions to end, these two thought it was a rare opportunity to relive their experience of hiking to their first city at the beginning of their trip.

For the two who have been able to go wherever they want to go in recent years, as free as birds in flight, how could mere traffic control stop them?

So Bai Ge and Elysia spent two days traversing forests, climbing hills, and crossing rivers, easily and happily arriving near another city, and then...

They witnessed a war.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The deafening roar of artillery fire never ceased, but the target was not humans, but a figure suspended in mid-air.

Although he was alone, the figure displayed overwhelming power in the face of the carpet bombing of human weapons.

With a mere wave of her hand, she conjured up firepower comparable to that of humans, easily annihilating the tanks, fighter jets, and soldiers present. However...

That was her last.

When Bai Ge and Elysia arrived, they witnessed her demise. Several small nuclear bombs flying from the horizon ultimately destroyed her figure completely.

"What... what is this...?"

Elysia was stunned.

Over the years, she and Bai Ge have been to countless places, even encountering war zones several times. The two of them even served as volunteer field medics, saving many lives.

However, the war at that time was completely different.

This is not a war between people.

It is a war between man and God!

"The First Herrscher has finally arrived, Aili... This is the Honkai, the ultimate test that humanity must face."

Bai Ge said this with a heavy heart.

The First Herrscher of the Previous Civilization, the Herrscher of Reason, was born. Unlike the Herrscher of the Current Civilization who are willing to fight for humanity, she is the embodiment of pure destruction and the executor of the Will of Honkai.

The Honkai of this era has finally officially begun.

Its opening did not disappoint, causing the complete destruction of a medium-sized city and the surrounding area. The already established Moth Chasing Fire exhausted the Herrscher's Honkai Energy in two days and two nights, and finally delivered a fatal blow with a small nuclear bomb.

Of course, the Moth Chasing Fire also suffered heavy losses. Until now, they had been fighting against Honkai Beast, and this was the first time they had encountered Herrscher who wielded power.

The modern legion constructed by the Herrscher of Reason is no less formidable than theirs, and the troops sent to the scene by the Moth Chasing Fire, including subsequent reinforcements, are still less than 90% complete.

"Bai Ge, tell me, what is Honkai, and what is Herrscher...?"

Elysia could hardly believe what she was seeing, and she instinctively looked to the boy beside her for answers.

Bai Ge also didn't hide anything and spoke his mind.

Everyone who has seen Honkai has the right to understand it. Although the Herrscher hasn't seen one in the years, he and Elysia have encountered and even dealt with quite a few Honkai Beast while traveling the world, so the girl already has a certain level of knowledge about them.

Based on Bai Ge's understanding of her, he knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, Elysia would definitely do something dangerous in order to find out, so he gave her a general overview.

"The Honkai is a test, a disaster, a life-or-death crisis facing humanity. The Herrscher are its apostles used to destroy the world. In short... if the Honkai is not defeated, humanity and civilization will be destroyed because of it."

"!!!"

The unexpected answer left Elysia stunned, and she continued to ask questions with surprise and confusion.
