The cemetery of the Fire Moth Warriors.

Zhu Yufeng placed several bouquets of flowers in front of the graves of Himiko, Vincent, Raphael, and Immer. After standing silently for a while, he was about to leave when he saw someone who surprised him by appearing there.

"Qianjie," Zhu Yufeng said, revealing Lai Zi's name.

He almost blurted out, "I didn't expect you to come here," but he swallowed the words back. Just as in the previous life, Himiko had a tombstone erected for her in this cemetery, but few people paid their respects and it was left to decay, so too, in the turmoil of the Tenth Ritual in the previous life Fire Moth warriors, as individuals of the Tenth Ritual, didn't even have tombstones.

But this time, both of Qianjie's former and current lieutenants, Immer and Raphael, did indeed erect tombstones here.

As the saying goes, Mobius is all talk and no action, while Qianjie is all soft-hearted. Both of them played important roles for Qianjie in both his previous and current lives. In his previous life, Qianjie was trying to find the Divine Key made from the core of Immer's Law. If it weren't for my intervention, he would probably have had to dismantle half of the Tenth Divine Key. In the War of Finality, Qianjie held onto the Divine Key made from the core of Immer's Law from beginning to end, determined to fight his comrade to the very last moment.

Qianjie gave a low "humph" and walked past Zhu Yufeng with his head down. Zhu Yufeng looked at what Qianjie was carrying in his hand, which did not seem to be flowers and wine that ordinary people would bring when mourning the deceased.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yufeng decided to leave first.

If he could do it all over again, he couldn't stop Himiko from becoming the Seventh Law, nor could he stop the transformation of Immer and Raphael in the Tenth Law event.

Even though SEELE was rescued, along with Disaster, Hen, Blanca, and Klein...

Before the tenth incident, I had discussed it with Qianjie, but no matter what we said back then, now that it has actually happened, it's definitely not as simple as it sounds to those involved...

"Wait a moment." Qianjie suddenly spoke from behind.

Zhu Yufeng turned to look at Qianjie, Qianjie simply looked at the two bouquets of flowers placed in front of Raphael and Immer's graves and asked, "Did you put these things here?"

"That's right." Zhu Yufeng did not deny it.

After each legal case ended, he would visit the cemetery to leave a bouquet of flowers for those whose fate he had been able to change, as a way of paying tribute and as a reminder to himself.

"This is unnecessary..." Qianjie took out a few items from the bag he was carrying. "What do they have to do with you? Do they need you to deliver flowers?"

"But they are related to you, aren't they?" Zhu Yufeng said calmly. "Then naturally they are related to me as well. Just like Himiko, I can't change Himiko's fate. All I can do is come here after each legal case ends and do the only thing I can do."

As for Vincent, although he didn't have much interaction with him, he was the one who made him waver after he was reborn and regained the emotional fluctuations that normal humans would have.

At that time, he thought he was already the same as in his previous life, and would not be swayed by the death of any irrelevant person. However, Vincent's sacrifice for Ugar's appearance did give him a blow at the time.

Perhaps because he had suppressed his emotions for too long in his previous life, he found it difficult to control his human emotions during the period after his rebirth. He became somewhat sentimental and even somewhat confused about his emotional changes.

If we're talking about the influence Vincent had on me, it probably helped me rediscover some of the things that are inherent to being human.

Moreover, he was inspired by Ugar's appearance and was Ugar's sworn brother. Wasn't it only natural for him to come here to pay his respects to this warrior after every incident?

But... perhaps it is because I have gradually begun to regain my original humanity after Vincent's sacrifice, and gradually shifted my gaze from the distant sky to the people around me, that I now have such a greater obsession.

He had people he had to cherish, protect, and fight for: family, close friends, and lovers.

So perhaps I'm even more stubborn and deluded now than I was in my previous life...

Zhu Yufeng thought to himself, then watched as Qianjie placed the things he had brought in front of the graves of Immer and Raphael. In front of Immer's grave was a military halberd. Zhu Yufeng remembered this halberd. Whether in the Elysian Realm or after the Tenth Law of the previous life, Qianjie had always carried Immer's halberd with him.

At Raphael's tomb was a pocket watch... As Qianjie's adjutant, Raphael was responsible for Qianjie's paperwork. He always arranged his time in an orderly manner and also arranged Qianjie's time. In terms of getting along with others, Raphael was always easy to be around.

This pocket watch was something Raphael always carried with him to remind himself to keep track of time.

Speaking of which... pocket watches seem to have special meaning for many people. In her previous life Astaroth had a pocket watch that she cherished very much, which she had given to her. After the Tragedy of Binding, she always carried this pocket watch with her. Now she has the pocket watch that Vill-V gave her when she first started to recover.

Suddenly, Zhu Yufeng felt that he couldn't understand Qianjie's intentions. In the previous life, he had always carried Immer's military weapon, but in this life, he chose to place it in front of Immer's grave.

"That fussy man never lets his pocket watch leave his body." Qianjie chuckled. "Heh... After all, without this pocket watch, he's like someone who can't accurately manage his time... And then this time, he put the pocket watch on his desk."

Zhu Yufeng remained silent. Just as Seele had said, when she became Lu Zi, her consciousness faced the threat of Honkai. The Honkai was constantly Corrosion her mind, making her manic and unable to suppress the negative emotions within her.

If Qian Qianjie says so, then Raphael at that time might... no, Qianjie would say that because he is certain that Raphael still had human consciousness at that time.

Based on the information currently available, Raphael should be considered a leader among the Thousand Law Enforcers. He was quite involved in this turmoil, and the losses caused by this turmoil were not significant. In fact, the Thousand Law Enforcers' strategic arrangements seem somewhat ridiculous. If Raphael had orchestrated this, as a seasoned warrior and the backup strategist for the Qianjie Calamities, Raphael tactical planning would definitely not have been like this... Considering Qianjie's words, it's likely that Raphael deliberately guided the Thousand Law Enforcers to act this way to minimize the losses suffered by the Fire Moth.

Unfortunately, there's still one fish that slipped through the net, and we don't know where it is.

Furthermore, it's clear that Mobius and his group are hiding something from me again.

"And then there's Immer... this time he's really fought that thing to the bitter end, hasn't he?" Qianjie said, arms crossed. "He risked his life just so I could deliver a message to you."

"A message?" Zhu Yufeng looked at Bi Qianjie. "What is it?"

Qianjie's voice became somewhat irritated. "I don't care about all that talk about what has been done and what will happen again, or what has been done and what will happen again. Anyway, that guy said he absolutely had to tell you!"

That line again...

In other words, the message that Mobius and the others were keeping from him might also be the message that Raphael asked them to convey before he died.

"I don't know what that means, but that guy was already having trouble speaking properly back then, yet he insisted that I tell you this." Qianjie said, looking at Immer's tombstone. "That guy... humph, probably for this little thing, he would even try to become a Thousandth Herrscher... Raphael too! They're both really... humph, but in the end, at least they were warriors, and they died in a way that a warrior should."

Zhu Yufeng began to ponder deeply. This sentence had appeared too frequently lately. Even when Immer could Qianjie speak, he insisted that Qianjie relay this sentence to him, saying that this sentence would inevitably have its significance in the future.

If we interpret it literally, it probably means that a sexual act that has already happened will definitely happen again, and a person who has done a sexual act will definitely do it again.

Immer made sure that Qianjie would relay this message to him, which further confirmed that the message was closely related to him.

The Tragedy of Binding, the Final Banquet, and the War of Finality...

If this is something that already exists, then what about something that has already been done?

After only a moment's thought, Zhu Yufeng had already arrived at the answer to the question in his heart. However, the correctness of this answer still needed to be confirmed, but once it was confirmed...

"After this, have you considered moving into the villa that Nahamah and Eden funded for us?" Zhu Yufeng asked again. After the Tenth Herrscher incident, he hadn't really checked where Qianjie had gone. For Qianjie, this turmoil had once again cost him his comrades and adjutant. Qianjie was also a very sentimental person. Although he always seemed to find Raphael annoying, if he really found Raphael annoying, why would he go on vacation as Raphael suggested?

The two toughest mouths in the Elysian Realm Mobius and Qianjie.

"Tch... I have no interest in taking care of any little kids," Qianjie said.

"That's not something you need to worry about. Lilim is quite obedient," Zhu Yufeng said with a smile. He was telling the truth. Lilim was very well-behaved in front of him, Lilith, and Astaroth. However, if it were someone else who was with her... like Pardo, she would have been teased by Lilim quite a bit...

This child ultimately inherited his mother's scumbag nature.

Hmm? No resemblance to myself? It's definitely more like Lilith's personality traits. Am I really that sleazy? At most, a little bit cunning~

As for Lilim's education, there's no need to worry. She learns everything very quickly, which completely crushed Rin, who was trying to tutor her as an upperclassman. This indirectly spurred Rin to start studying harder and more intensely in class, leaving Sakura dumbfounded...

Nahamah exclaimed that this woman was destined for greatness, but when he and Abaddon sat together watching some of the children from the Fire Moth, their expressions changed... it was almost like they were picking a son-in-law and hadn't found anyone they liked...

No, isn't this my daughter? You guys care about her more than I do, her own father?

And then there's Beifengge. Even Lionel couldn't help but come over and complain to him about when Beifengge started leaving work on time and refused to work overtime at all...

Actually, this guy came to play with Lilim right after work...

When did the Fallen Angel become like this?. jpg

As an android, Lilim grows much faster than normal humans. When the first stigmata discovered her, she looked to be only three or four years old, but the Present is almost the same age as Griseo the Present... As a result, Lilim cannot attend school normally, although she doesn't need to.

Is it because the core of the Herrscher of Reason within her body enhances her intelligence? Or is it because her mother, Lilith, inherently possesses an abnormal level of intelligence? Or perhaps both?

"Hmph... Fine, I'm used to being alone. I don't want to be bothered by all the noise you guys make every day." Qianjie snorted coldly. "You deal with your own feelings. And..."

Qianjie placed his hand heavily on Zhu Yufeng's shoulder, his voice hoarse and low. "You... you should value your own life more, otherwise even if you die, I won't let it go. I haven't settled the score with you from the last life!"

"Even when the meteorite called 'The Finality' falls, we will eventually have to make a choice," Zhu Yufeng said calmly. Qianjie's level of threat no longer had any effect on him, although it was more like Qianjie's unique threatening concern than a threat.

"Heh... So you want to have a real fight with me the Present, Feng?" Qianjie's voice began to become extremely warlike and aggressive.

"If you want to confirm my will and answer, I'm always ready, Qianjie. But if you lose, you'd better move in and live with us. After all, we were once Flame-Chasers together."

"Ah... then let me see just how much you've recovered compared to the Present then!"

On the other side.

"If that day comes eventually, of course I will go with Boss Yu Feng. Death has never been anything to fear for me." Mostima leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and said, "After all, my boring life as a piece of trash only became meaningful after I met Boss Yu Feng."

"Heh..." Lilith chuckled softly, "Don't worry, when that day comes, we'll all be on our way with Maple."

"Does this count as you promising me?"

"Yes, I promise you, if that day comes, I will give you my life."
