Although he couldn't break through her defenses, the Nine-Tailed, which wasn't a combat-type, actually managed to land a hit on him.

This wasn't because Nine-Tailed was particularly strong; it was simply that Bai Ge hadn't been able to react in time.

"I'm in terrible shape. Just from not sleeping for a while, my reflexes have dropped so low that I can't even dodge the Honkai Beast's beam. But this level of weakness shouldn't have much of an impact..."

With the physique of Chimera Fusion Warrior, coupled with the healing power of the Herrscher of Life and Death, Bai Ge, regardless of his mental state, will at least not easily fall into physical fatigue.

He originally intended to return to the combat command center, but before he knew it, Bai Ge found himself in the Golden Courtyard. Upon entering, he discovered that Eden and Aponia were home today.

"Hmm? Isn't Seele home?"

"Those two said they went out to buy groceries, huh? Bai Ge, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

The moment Eden and Aponia saw him, their expressions changed instantly, and they rushed over.

"Uh, I'm fine, I'm okay. I just got a really powerful ability from a Honkai Beast and I've become a little stronger. How could I be in any trouble?"

"But Bai Ge, you look terrible right now."

"Huh?"

Bai Ge was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked at the mirror in the courtyard and was then frightened by his own reflection.

At this moment, his Golden Eyes were very dim, and there were deep dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a panda or Klein. Clearly, his spirit had reached its limit.

"You've been working too hard. Take a good rest during this time. I'll talk to Mei about it later."

"I'm fine, I'm just... a little tired."

Now that things have come to this, there's no way to hide it no matter how hard you try. No matter how well you talk, your face is the best evidence.

The moment he admitted he was exhausted, Bai Ge collapsed as if he had lost all his strength. Fortunately, Aponia caught him in time to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"Bai Ge! You should rest!"

"... Take a rest."

The White Youth smiled bitterly. If he could, he would like to close his eyes and sleep for three days and three nights, but now tragic memories kept flooding his mind.

This is the price for remembering all the Honkai events in the cycle of reincarnation; now, his head is throbbing so badly that he can't sleep.

Although he could be freed by erasing these memories with Feather of the Wind, Bai Ge couldn't do that until he reached the Herrscher of Finality, as this had been verified through several reincarnations.

Compared to the Moonlight Throne and enduring the attack of the Finality, one can absorb some of the Finality Power and then counterattack.

Bai Ge burned his memories to release the Great Void Sword God, which could shut it down for the longest time.

In order to ultimately change his fate, he needed to keep the Herrscher of Finality offline for as long as possible.

Moreover, in addition to his memories reaching their limit, Bai Ge's soul is also in a state of flux. Although the "Heart of Eternity" attribute prevents him from wearing down and ensures that his soul will not break down no matter how much time passes.

But...

Sometimes it's easier for people to be broken.

Because of the effect of the [Heart of Eternity] attribute, Bai Ge can always maintain his true self, which means that no matter how much time passes, he will not change his temperament, become obsessed, or go crazy.

This is also what Misteln had previously marveled at: the reason why Bai Ge was able to remember all the tragedies and still maintain his true self.

Otherwise, if she had to bear the weight of an entire era's tragedy, even Elysia would probably turn to the dark side.

"Eden, can you do me a favor?"

Helped down on the sofa by the two women, Bai Ge was so exhausted that he didn't want to move a single finger. He even felt that breathing was a very strenuous task.

"Okay, Bai Ge, you go ahead."

"Tell us anything we can do... no, anything you want us to do."

Eden and Aponia looked at Bai Ge with concern.

They didn't know when it started, but whenever they saw Bai Ge, they couldn't help but feel heartache. They didn't know why they felt this way, but... they both had a strong urge to make this person "stop".

"Could you sing me a song? I want to sleep but I can't, my mind is a mess, but if it's your singing, Eden, it should help me relax, so..."

"I understand. If it's for you, Bai Ge, then I'm willing to sing anytime," Eden said without hesitation.

"Then I'll do what I can. Please don't think about anything else, please get some rest, please don't push yourself so hard..."

Aponia sat down on the sofa, then let the White Youth rest his head on her lap. She then used her discipline to constantly restrain Bai Ge's thoughts.

Although Aponia's words were like invisible chains, this constraint made Bai Ge feel quite comfortable, and the tragic memories that kept surfacing stopped at this moment.

Incidentally, because the people of Aponia are so incredibly large (Level I), after resting his head on her lap, Bai Ge found that two giant mountains had blinded him.

But before he could think about it further...

457 seconds later, the golden song came.

The sundrops

As the setting sun...

Nightmares-climb-top

Nightmares climbed onto the roof.

Wings-flip, and-the-world-stops,

Butterfly wings flutter, and the world comes to a standstill.

Sharing-gems-and-rum-worth-ofdiadem,

Even if the world is given fine wine and precious treasures,

But-noone-can-free-from-suffering,

But even that couldn't save a single person from their suffering.

I-used-to-witness-all-wonders,

I have witnessed all the Miracle???.

Ive-anticipated-the-earth-sunder,

I also foresee the catastrophic end.

Engraved-dcipline-from-principles,

Inscribe the precepts into the principles.

Fairest, come-with-your-shapeless-hopes,

The most beautiful one, descend upon us with your invisible hope.

I-pray-for-the-oath-made-of-gold,

I pray that this vow will last as long as gold.

The heavenly music was incredibly beautiful, truly deserving of the name Eden. Listening to the golden song, Bai Ge's lips involuntarily curled up. At this moment, he felt as if his soul had been cleansed and refreshed.

Bai Ge is someone who can drink without getting drunk, but Eden's songs can captivate his soul.

And to be honest, he never wanted to remember those tragedies; if possible, he wanted to forget them all. What Bai Ge wanted to remember from beginning to end were always those beautiful memories.

(That sounds so beautiful. Looks like I'll have to trouble Eden to sing for me every night from now on... I want to have a sweet dream.)

As consciousness gradually sank into darkness, the White Youth, lying on Aponia's lap as a pillow, shed a single, glistening tear from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Bai Ge finally fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping face of the boy in front of them, Eden and Aponia both breathed a sigh of relief. The two girls touched Bai Ge's white hair and then kissed him on both cheeks.

Then...

"The rest is up to you, Aili."

"Take good care of Bai Ge, he needs you."

The two spoke to the pink figure around the corner.

"Yes, Eden, Aponia, thank you."

After thanking her, Elysia took over Aponia's place and let Bai Ge rest her head on her lap.

First update! Requesting monthly votes for the new month!

If all goes well, we can go to the Current Civilization tomorrow.

Golden Courtyard.

"Bai Bai, it's been so long since we've spent time alone together, hehe~ it feels like we've gone back to when we were kids."

Elysia gazed tenderly at the boy on her lap, a special look she only showed to Bai Ge, filled with her love, longing, and blessings.

She skillfully combed Bai Ge's snow-white hair, recalling one of her favorite things to do as a child: tying her pink hair together with Bai hair while he was asleep.

"Without realizing it, we've already come this far."

Elysia gently stroked Bai Ge's sleeping face, feeling quite emotional. It felt like just yesterday that the two of them embarked on their journey.

They witnessed countless beautiful sights, formed connections with many people, and ultimately discovered the truth of the world, deciding to embark on the battlefield against Honkai in order to protect what is beautiful.
