Vill-V laughed out loud.

"Yaqing, do you know who is trying to convey something to us?"

Does this mean that the Herrscher of Corruption will grow stronger over time as they come into contact with the network, or does it signify the end of the Previous Era and the increasing power of the current one?

Although its meaning is unknown, this little Easter egg has been discovered.

Vill-V was still very happy.

"Look, they lived so proudly, persevered to the end, and sang the praises of civilization with their lives."

The Herrscher of Corruption was left with only one eye, but it was extremely unwilling and wanted to launch a final counterattack.

Countless purple wires hurtled towards Elysia in the sky.

Elysia pointed her finger at her mouth, blinked, and a giant heart appeared on the Wiki, only to Herrscher of Corruption torn to shreds.

"This is the story of those called Flame-Chasers, the unfinished journey of 13 Flame-Chasers."

The 12 Signets behind her transformed into Elysia's power, turning into dazzling streams of light that Herrscher of Corruption was attacking, radiating a colorful and dazzling light.

"But visitors, your journey will continue, won't it?"

The multicolored streams of light represent each of the Flame-Chasers who fight alongside Elysia to attack the last "fortress" of the Herrscher of Corruption.

"Then let's follow our hearts."

The Herrscher of Corruption widened her eyes, wanting to continue using the power of rewind, and the scene cut off again, but how could Elysia allow it? She seemed to jump out of the scene and get very close to the audience.

"I already said we need to move forward."

Elysia's smile, in the stillness of time, seemed to be smiling at the audience.

Immediately afterwards, countless streaks of light struck the Herrscher of Corruption directly, and at the same time, the song "True" reached its peak once again!

Twelve Signets lit up around the Herrscher of Corruption.

This signifies that they fought alongside Elysia.

Both the music and the visuals reached their peak at this moment, bringing endless emotion and bringing tears to the eyes of the audience.

Only in this way can it be worthy of being a grand and magnificent finale to the Elysian Realm.

This was also the last time that the Flame-Chasers fought side by side!

Elysia raised her arms high, and a dazzling pink light gathered in her palm. The pink halo formed the goddess in the mural of Eternal Elysium behind her, slowly breaking through the mural and resembling the image of Big Pink Alicia.

"Follow the footprints under your feet and witness this journey of chasing fire."

The arrows coalesced once more.

Hope is the bowstring, and humanity is the arrow.

Elysia drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and the gigantic Pink Lily behind her struck the same pose.

"Finally, let us transcend the final act of the departed and create what we were unable to anticipate..."

The figures of Flame-Chasers flashed across the screen one by one.

At that moment, Elysia seemed to transform into light, becoming the arrow in Elysia's hand.

"Let's move to the future!"

As the arrow was shot, the song reached its high notes.

[Seeds Bear New Life When Flowers Dare To Fade]

The light arrow struck the Herrscher of Corruption's body without reservation.

At that moment, the Anti-Kevin Weapon 666 was also activated, and everything around it shattered, like a mirror, burning away all the memories that once belonged to him.

As everything faded away, Elysia gently cradled the last glimmer of light in her hands, carefully embracing it, before the scene plunged into complete darkness.

Goodbye, Flame-Chasers.

Goodbye, Elysia.

The screen was filled with these two sentences in the comments, obscuring the final darkness.

They typed those two sentences on the keyboard, almost with tears in their eyes and their fingers trembling.

Because they knew that the Elysian Realm had come to a complete end, and the journey they had once walked side by side would never be seen again.

With the grand and magnificent final curtain falling for the Flame-Chasers, the Elysian Realm came to an end.

Then, as the protagonists of this story, they were clearly very satisfied with the ending.

It's a bit of a shame that they didn't manage to be resurrected in the end.

"It began with Elysia and it will end with Elysia."

Eden sighed.

The first Flame-Chasers they encounter in the Elysian Realm will also be the last Flame-Chasers they encounter Elysian Realm.

Beginning with me, ending with me.

"I'm reluctant to part with it, I really am..."

Pardo's face was covered in tears and snot.

Only when it truly comes to an end will an overwhelming sense of reluctance well up inside.

She recalled every detail of her Elysian Realm. It ended just like that, Pardo felt incredibly sad.

"Pardo, get some paper to wipe it."

Sakura is actually a germaphobe. Seeing Pardo like this, her round, plump toes under her high heels were all clenched together.

"Thank you, Sakura-nee."

Pardo woke up and blew her nose.

"This is the best possible ending. Mei will always remember them, and they also have memories to help future generations solve the Herrscher of Corruption."

Kevin sighed.

Actually, there's one more thing Kevin didn't say, which is the last scene. It felt like the old guy had gotten a rare Signets, and the drop rate was extremely high.

If this were a game, the Flame-Chasers' Signets would definitely be a rare item. If it were free, it would be very difficult to obtain, and if it were paid, the price would be very high.

Kevin nodded.

"Sister Elysia's last scene really resembled God, Love Gate."

He clasped his hands together in prayer.

Congratulations to Elysia on gaining another disciple.

"What god... I'm just an ordinary human being, just like in the story, I've always longed to become human."

Elysia blushed a little from the compliments.

"Hmm..."

Griseo was itching to draw this scene, but she didn't dare to open her backpack to get paper and brushes.

Blanca looked on with suspicion, wondering what was hidden in the backpack.

"This ending is indeed very good. It would have been even better if little Griseo hadn't died."

He sighed.

As the Herrscher of Corruption was dealt with, everyone lamented the demise of the Elysian Realm.

The next moment, the scene reappeared on the big screen.

It attracted everyone's attention.

Chapter 594 "There Will Never Be Another Elysia"

All the audience members were immersed in the sorrow of the destruction of the Elysian Realm.

But the story didn't stop there; it continued to play.

To their delight, the movie ended, but this time the rolling screen wasn't the usual pitch black; instead...

The movie's scrolling screen then appears in the lower left corner of the big screen.

Under the warm filter, one scene after another flashes through the performance of "True". Elysia's gentle voice gives people a complex emotion that is both happy and sad.

In the end, Elysia puts the Flame-Chasers back into her heart and gives them a dream called ideal.

Pardo feeding a litter of kittens—this is a dream of mortals, bathed in the afternoon sunlight.

Hua practices martial arts under the blue sky and white clouds; this is the dream of a warrior, the training of his apprentice.

Griseo painting with her parents by her side—this is the dream of an artist, a warm family.

Mobius in the laboratory with Klein, this is the dream of the Serpent Lord, and the redemption of the understanding one.

As the sun sets, Kosma plays the harmonica with his best friend under a big tree. This is a boy's dream: sunset, music, and friendship.

Cherry blossoms at the amusement park with my sister, this is a dream of falling cherry blossoms, and my sister's smile.

Su said goodbye to the patient; this is the dream of the enlightened one—healing, recovery.

The children around him looked at Kalpas, who was carrying a large box on his shoulder, with admiration. This was the Mad King's Dream, a porter at the sanatorium.

Vill-V, standing before the magician's table, extends an invitation; this is the Fool's Dream, the confident con artist.

Eden, singing under the starry sky, is the singer's dream, which will end with the times.

In a lush green garden, Aponia prays towards a beam of holy light in the sky; this is a dream of asceticism, suffering, and prayer.

Holding a baseball bat, Kevin charged towards the Honkai Beasts without hesitation.

This is a hero's dream, a fight for the belief of becoming a hero.

In the end, the fairy of True Self, amidst a sea of pink flowers, bathed in light, turned and smiled at the audience who had witnessed this, and the story came to a close.

Dedicated to the Flame-Chasers

[The Elysian Realm has come to an end]

Unlike his energetic performance, this rendition of "True" was extremely lyrical.

But it was this sentimentality that brought tears to the eyes of many emotional viewers.

This ending is like stabbing their already broken hearts in another deep wound.

This made them wonder if, without the existence of the Honkai in the story, Flame-Chasers would have followed the same path as in the ending.

"Ugh, cough, waaaaaah..."

Elysia cried uncontrollably, her body trembling, and the used tissues beside her piled up like a small mountain.

What is the definition of tragedy?

No one can say for sure, but Elysia believes that tragedy is about presenting all that is beautiful to others and then tearing it to pieces.

This is how the Elysian Realm developed.

It's just that the order has been changed.

First, it shows the tragic sacrifice of the Flame-Chasers, then it shows the magnificent resurrection of them by Elysia, and finally it stops acting altogether, creating a dream that is both real and unreal.

This is how the story should be told, and this is how they should act.

Without the Honkai, they wouldn't be legendary Flame-Chasers or those who fought against the Honkai; they would just be ordinary people, living happy, ordinary lives.

"This is simply unfair... How can anyone resist this? Waaaaaah..."

When Pardo saw the first scene, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

That was a scene of her feeding the cat.

Especially when Sakura and her sister go to the amusement park together, and Mobius and Klein are in the laboratory together, those past regrets and pains are presented in a different way, resulting in a perfect ending.

That was the scene they found most unbearable.

Seeing these beautiful yet almost unreal things always reminds them of the truly tragic end that Flame-Chasers Previous Era.

Sakura hugged Rin tightly.
