The Time to Part Has Come; Every Story Must End. (Continued)

For example, she originally wanted to go to the island with Mei on the roller coaster, but so many things happened in the middle. This roller coaster can lead to the entire Elysian Realm, witness all the scenery, and then return to the starting point.

Then they went to the carousel that the Fairy Elysia loved most.

Elysia also loves carousels and once dreamed of making them part of the team-building activities of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, but she rejected the idea herself.

Since there are only twelve horses on the carousel, the person who is left behind will definitely be very sad. But today they don't have to worry about that. However, the empty seat still makes people feel lonely.

The amusement park also contains many projections of Elysia's memories—those of people who were once kind to her.

"Flame-Chasers? Team building? Carousel?"

The expressions on everyone's faces were like those of an elderly person on the subway looking at their phone.

They never imagined that the carousel would one day be associated with the team building activities of the Flame-Chasers.

It's especially unimaginable what a strange scene it would be if the irritable Kalpas and the cold Kevin were to sit on a carousel that children love.

It's so hard to hold back, really so hard to hold back.

"I thought Kevin was invincible at eating noodles during meetings, but I didn't expect someone to be even more valiant than him. Whose subordinate is this?!"

Little Knowledge's eyes widened.

"Report! Miss Pink Elf is one of Elysia's subordinates!"

Elysia cutely raises her little hand.

"Elysia, you still can't be flexible. Since there's one less seat, why don't we have one of us hold little Griseo? If that doesn't work, we can hold Mobius, since she's small anyway."

Vill-V really loves to watch the drama unfold.

Mainly, she really wanted to see the scene of the irritable Kalpas and the cold Kevin sitting on the carousel.

After all, you can't see the cold Kevin in real life. If the real Kevin were to sit on a carousel, he would probably be happier than Griseo, at most making people feel ashamed on the surface.

"Vill-V, if Mobius hears this, he'll fight you to the death."

Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She clearly has an enviable mature, sophisticated figure, but in the story, she becomes...

Any woman would care about that, let alone Mobius.

Eden, observing everyone's incredible enthusiasm for the amusement park, couldn't help but remark.

"Since everyone is so excited about the amusement park, why don't we wait for Yaqing to come back and go ride the carousel together?"

After Eden finished speaking, there was complete silence.

"Great!"

Elysia responded quickly, followed by Little Knowledge and Pardo, and finally Griseo.

The other people had complex emotions on their faces.

They're not young anymore; if they were to ride a carousel again, they probably wouldn't be able to hide their shame.

Finally, I returned to that familiar place.

The central platform of Eternal Elysium.

Let's draw the perfect conclusion at the very beginning.

Mei, however, showed a reluctant expression. After experiencing so much, her mindset had changed. She was reluctant to part with Elysia and with Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

Elysia could see Mei's reluctance, and she was also reluctant to Mei. They had just reunited, but now they had to separate again. But separation always comes, just like a story always has an ending.

"So, don't make that face... Mei, smile, okay?"

Elysia struggled to suppress her sobs and forced a smile.

She didn't want her separation from Mei to be filled with tears and sadness; she hoped it would be with smiles and joy.

Mei remained silent for a long time.

Is it really... coming to an end?

Her voice was exceptionally heartbreaking, fragile like easily broken glass, tinged with a sob.

Elysia nodded. After all, everyone's efforts were for this moment. She pretended to be strong and joked with Mei, saying that she would protect Mei and then return to reality, and congratulated Mei on successfully graduating from the Elysian Realm.

"Then... lift your head and walk proudly toward your future."

"I... I haven't..."

Mei choked up and couldn't speak, overwhelmed with reluctance.

"Not... ready to part ways yet? Actually... me too."

Elysia felt the same way as Mei, and tried to put on a gentle smile, leaning forward to look directly into Mei's bright eyes.

"Well, for our last moments... let's go on the roller coaster one last time. This time, let's go slowly and just enjoy the scenery, okay?"

Elysia had high hopes.

"Good."

Mei closed her eyes and agreed.

The moment of parting has finally arrived.

Viewers who witnessed this scene were immediately transported back to the moment when Kiana and Himeko parted ways in "Burning Flames Forever".

"I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to you..."

Kiana's choked sobs still echoed in my ears.

Even dreams eventually end...

Every story eventually comes to an end...

The simplest knife technique is achieved using the simplest method.

The mere act of parting was enough to cause the audience heartache.

"I never imagined that the time to part would turn out like this..."

Pardo's eyes were blurry with tears, and snot was running down her face.

The strong-willed Mei choked with sobs, her reluctance revealing her vulnerability like that of a fragile little girl.

Despite Elysia feigned strength, the story eventually comes to an end. She comforts Mei, telling her to look ahead, for that is her future.

No matter when, parting is always the most heartbreaking. The Burning Flames Forever once more, and the Eternal Elysium returns once more.

They knew, of course, that after this parting, Mei would probably never see Elysia again.

But even though they had just reunited, they were about to have to part again.

They witnessed Mei's encounter and trust with the Flame-Chasers, which led to the formation of their bond. The Flame-Chasers' successive sacrifices were all for Mei's successful resurrection of Elysia so that she could attend the Last Banquet.

What should have been the happiest time turned into the saddest moment because of parting.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

"Hey lady, what are you doing with so much tissue? Are you going to the bathroom?!"

A hint of doubt appeared in Ling's reddened eyes.

Sakura remained silent, only continuing to pull out tissues.

As a long-time viewer, she knew perfectly well that what she was seeing was just an appetizer; given the screenwriter's personality, the real punch was yet to come.

"Separation means growth, which is an indispensable part of the experience. Kiana is like this, Mei is like this, and I suppose Bronya is like this too."

Mei sighed.

Although they disliked seeing these scenes of separation, they had to admit that parting always brings growth, and it was precisely because of these partings that they were able to truly understand the value of the Elysian Realm.

Kevin silently wiped away his tears.

He didn't want others to see him cry.

Perhaps this is what makes a man proud.

No wonder Kalpas always wears sunglasses even when watching movies in such a dimly lit atmosphere; he must have been prepared for it in advance.

"Question Kevin, understand Kevin, become Otto!"

The screen was filled with the same sentence in the comments.

Bishop Otto, lead us to the Imaginary Tree one more time!!!

The audience has come to understand Kevin. At first, they thought Kevin was crazy, but now they think, "Why is Kevin so crazy?"

If they experienced everything Kevin went through, they probably wouldn't just be obsessed, they'd break down.

The roller coaster slowly moved forward.

Elysia and Mei talked a lot, Alicia revealing her true feelings without reservation. She wanted to use jokes to distract Mei, to prevent the farewell from being too sad, and to prevent the separation from being immersed in tears.

Mei noticed Elysia's little thoughts immediately and pointed out that Elysia's half-joking change of topic was just a way to hide her true feelings.

"You really... can't lie at all."

Elysia's expression froze for a moment, her smile more painful than a grimace. She could have pretended to be strong, provided she wasn't pointed out.

"Mei... if you keep talking, I'm really going to cry, okay?"

Elysia sighed deeply, her sobs becoming increasingly difficult to conceal.

"I didn't want to say goodbye to Mei... because girls look prettier when they smile. So... you made sure to remember what I looked like when I smiled, right?"

"Yes, I will always remember... always... keep it in my heart."

Mei nodded, though she herself was also feeling uneasy.

"Yes, you must never forget. My lovely face, my sweet voice, every single word I've ever said to you—remember it all!"

Elysia's voice trembled, but she still tried her best to appear normal, put on a sweet smile, and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"But... even if you really forget, it's okay."

Mei didn't reply, but a tear rolled down her fair face.

"Mei... why are you crying! Do you want me to give you a big hug?"

Elysia concealed her reluctance and changed the subject with a joking voice.

"I didn't cry."

"No?"

"No."

"Really, no?"

"... It's really gone now."

Mei stopped crying and started laughing.

"Haha~, yeah, that's good. Like I said, Mei looks better when she smiles."

Normally, Mei and Elysia's interactions would create a sweet atmosphere, but at this moment, their hearts were breaking.

Especially the people in the Golden Courtyard.

Because of the Flame-Chasers, their sense of identification with the characters was stronger than that of ordinary viewers. So, it was as if they were really seeing a close friend who was about to be separated from them forever.

Elysia wiped away the tears on her face with her hands.

"I really hate to Mei, but in this situation, I win, even though Mei brought up this topic first."

Elysia forced a smile.

"Wow, I didn't expect Mei to cry. She didn't shed a single tear when she parted with Kiana, but she cried so hard when she parted with Elysia."

Kevin used jokes to distract himself.

"Does that mean Elysia is more important to Kiana Mei?"

Fu Hua shook her head.

"That's not quite right. Mei joined World Serpent so that Kiana could survive. The two birds may be separated for a while, but they will eventually reunite. But it's different for Elysia. Although No. 666 can destroy the Herrscher of Corruption, the side effect is that it completely erases the Elysian Realm."

"This parting will be the last. The two are fundamentally different."

Kevin was helpless.
