When the tear turned into an ice crystal, the audience could almost feel Kevin's heart-wrenching pain, but he couldn't show it. He was the strongest warrior of the Previous Era and the pillar of the survivors.

"Su hasn't appeared in the main storyline either, so I guess..."

Sakura didn't finish her sentence.

But everyone knew what she meant; most likely, this web series was Su's debut, and also Su's exit.

"Old friends are passing away one after another, like leaves falling in the wind."

Mei sighed.

Kevin has had fewer and fewer friends along the way, and his mindset has probably changed a long time ago.

"If only I could be by his side..."

Upon hearing Mei's words, Kevin put his arm around Mei's shoulder tightly.

As a corporate slave, living a monotonous life between home and work, he doesn't see himself as some kind of savior, nor is he far from being like the character in the story. He only wants to stay with Mei forever and have a pair of lovely children.

"Adam... Yaqing, you've even thought of a name for Kevin's son. I wonder if Adam is actually happy about it."

"Vill-V smiled faintly."

The Adam she was referring to was the boy from the Aponia Sanatorium, who was now seventeen years old and used to follow Kevin around every day with Lyle, calling him "Boss Kevin."

"Adam and Eve, the first humans in the Eden in mythology."

"Eden?"

Elysia had never associated Eden with the Eden before, but now that she saw the survivors of the Previous Era leaving behind myths and legends, she suddenly felt that Eden and the Eden were inextricably linked.

"Yaqing, Kevin wouldn't have entrusted Adam to Eden to raise, which is why there's the Eden in the myth, would he?"

The more Elysia thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Who knows?

Yaqing smiled helplessly.

Eden did survive the Finality battle, but he did not survive the Finality.

That was the final swan song of the Previous Era.

"Fine, I won't say if I don't want to."

Elysia crossed her arms and turned her head away haughtily.

"The Observer Project... wasn't Su implementing the Ganges Project?"

Elysia was drawn to something else and asked in confusion.

"Ganges Project is a plan to save the current civilization, while Project Observer may be a plan that 'I' specifically gave to Su, and the object of observation... should be Kevin."

Mei said calmly.

"I?"

Kevin blurted out his question, but quickly realized that given the extent of "his" obsession in the story, he really needed someone to observe him closely.

"In other words, Kevin was also part of May's plan. She had long anticipated Kevin's change in mentality after her death. They truly are a perfect couple."

"Vill-V sighed."

"Brother Su did indeed seal Brother Kevin into the Sea of Quanta, but now Brother Kevin has broken free. What about Brother Su?"

Kosma once again silenced the crowd with a single sentence.

They wanted to skip this heavy topic.

But unexpectedly, Kosma brought it up again.

"Feel sorry."

Kosma keenly sensed the strange atmosphere, realized he had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized.

[Oh no, I think I said the wrong thing. I really shouldn't have brought this up. Will they be mad at me? The way Su-ge and Kevin -ge are looking at each other is weird. Why are they so quiet? I'm doomed. It's all my fault...]

Although Kosma only uttered two words, his mind was already firing off machine guns.

"Kosma, it's okay."

Su was the first to speak.

"Even at the end of my life, I am fortunate enough to be able to pass on my will and abilities. This is the inheritance of humanity."

Su Wen smiled.

Kosma immediately felt much better.

In fact, viewers can all sense that this web series should not be called Durandal Part 2. The first half tells the story of the sweet interactions between Durandal and Rita, while the second half is about the continuation of humanity.

This web series should be called "Inheritance".

"The flame burns eternally, a legacy for humanity."

Elysia recalled that although the main storyline was quite heart-wrenching and brought many people to tears, the story was full of educational value regarding the inheritance of humanity.

"How romantic, how praiseworthy."

"According to the timeline, what follows should be a story from hundreds or thousands of years ago in our current civilization."

Mei still cares about it to this day.

If Merlin is Kevin, then who is the Lake Nymph that Merlin is infatuated with?

Judging from the current plot, it is highly likely that...

Mei was very reluctant to admit it.

But during her university years, she genuinely mistook Su for a girl.

"It should be around the time when the Scarlet Bird Immortal appeared, around the time he killed Chi You."

The main storyline provides very little description of that period; it mostly comes from flashbacks. They are very curious about what earth-shattering things the survivors of the Previous Era would do in the present civilization.

Chapter 435 The Fairy of the Lake, the Finality Kevin?

[Late 5th century AD, the British Isles]

A child was running away, with two Honkai Beasts hot on his heels. He tripped over a rock and fell to the ground. He closed his eyes in fear, praying that someone would come to save him.

Just then, a red laser beam pierced through the Honkai Beasts.

"Don't be afraid, you're no longer safe."

Upon hearing Su Wen's voice, the child opened his eyes, only to see a Honkai Beasts charging menacingly towards them, just a few steps away. He looked terrified.

Just at this critical moment, as the Honkai Beasts' claws were about to touch them, they were suddenly frozen. Kevin appeared and told Su that all the Honkai Beasts nearby had been wiped out.

To express his gratitude for saving their lives, the child invited Kevin and Sue to their village.

Kevin didn't say a word, and simply leaped high into the air.

"Could it be... that he is the legendary magician...?"

The child was greatly shocked by what he saw. He remembered the "big sister" from earlier and chased after her. He saw Su standing on the water, with the water constantly surrounding her body.

"The fairy in the lake..."

"Pfft."

Elysia was the first to burst into laughter.

Suppressed laughter rose and fell.

They had expected it, but when it was actually presented before their eyes, it was still irresistible.

"Pfft, big sister... hahahahaha."

The heavy atmosphere was instantly broken.

Kevin had just looked sad, suddenly burst into a wide smile.

"So... the fairy in the lake is Su."

Mei glanced at Su with a teasing smile.

The usually gentle and calm Dr. Su was now covering her face with her hands, too ashamed to look any longer.

"Brother Su, with your long, flowing hair, it's no wonder people mistake you for an older sister."

Hen patted Su on the shoulder, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten up.

"Yaqing!"

Su opened his eyes.

"What's wrong, Lake Fairy?"

Faced with Su's angry glare, Yaqing chuckled, her voice irritating and utterly irritating.

The nickname "Fairy of the Lake" will probably stick with Su Liang for a long time.

"You...!"

The usually gentle Su was so angry that she broke down, her finger trembling as she pointed at Yaqing, as if she would faint at any moment.

"So, this child is King Arthur?"

Upon closer inspection, Vill-V realized that this was clearly an ordinary child, completely different from King Arthur in the story. However, this was to be expected, as myths would inevitably deviate from their original form as they were passed down through generations.

"I'm afraid so. That Sword in the Stone must be the Judgement of Shamash."

Mei replied with a sentence.

The scene shifts to the shelter, where only Sue, Kevin, and Hua are seated around a huge round table. Hua, who is far away in Shenzhou, is represented by a virtual image.

The Seed Project is still ongoing, but it no longer teaches people of this era advanced technologies beyond their current understanding. The Ark Project has not contacted Earth for 15 years, and all other projects have failed.

Only the three of them remained.

In Kevin's view, if even the three of them— the Stigmata Project, the Ganges Project, and the Seed Project —fail, then the civilization of this era will still be doomed to Finality.

After the meeting ended and Hua's image disappeared, Kevin told Sue that he was ready to carry out the Stigmata Project.

Su was shocked. He knew that the Stigmata Project was the last resort, and even if it succeeded, humanity would pay a heavy price.

But in Kevin's eyes, it was now a matter of life and death, as both the Seed Project and the Ganges Project had failed.

Kevin left, telling Sue to come find him at their usual spot once she had figured things out.

Su lowered his head, recalling the companionship between the two people over thousands of years, as well as Mei's last wish and the promise he had made.

"I will stop him!"

Su opened her eyes, her purplish-red pupils gleaming.

"In the end, it still came to this..."

The smiles on the faces of the crowd, who had been laughing at the sight of the fairy in the lake, gradually froze upon seeing this scene.

Mei sighed.

"Alas, the Honkai is truly evil, turning once close brothers into enemies, fighting with swords, and causing loved ones to be separated by life and death, forever parted from each other."

"Bad Yaqing, is this the sunny, cheerful, and positive story you were talking about?"

Elysia's face puffed up like a pufferfish as she accused Yaqing.

"I actually think it's pretty positive. I've wanted to see Sue and Kevin fight for a long time."

Yaqing smiled broadly.

Everyone's expressions were very strange when they heard this. Why would anyone want their two best friends to fight? What kind of peculiar fetish is this?

Kevin rolled his eyes.

"Come on, I'd rather beat you up than beat up Su."

Kevin's clenched teeth were a genuine expression of his emotions.

Yaqing hid behind Mobius, peeking out half of her head.

Of the three bosses, who is Kevin most afraid of? It has to be Mobius, because he knows that no matter how much trouble he causes, Mebius will not really punish him, and Vill-V is too lazy to care about him.
