**"Star Exhaustion Triple Kill! Skill Points: 10,000!"**
As a message came from Jiang Xiao's Inner Star Map, everything seemed to have settled. No, not yet.
There was still a clone of Hopkins in Dragon Cave, and Two Tails and the others were still holding two clones captive at Dragon Cave Base.
Nearby, several flowers grew from the earth. Their petals slowly closed, and their stamens lifted Hopkins's Star Pearl and slowly delivered it to Gaia's feet.
She said softly, "Child, may I..."
"Ah, go ahead and keep it." Jiang Xiao smiled and nodded. Ever since he had received the message from the Inner Star Map, his mood had brightened considerably. "Keep it as a memento. After all, it was yours, uh..."
Jiang Xiao did not know how to put it. After thinking it over, he ultimately chose to keep quiet.
Hopkins's Blazing Sun Star Pearl was useless to Jiang Xiao. His Star Slots were already full, and his Decoy could not use the Inner Star Map or absorb human Star Pearls and Star Skills.
If Gaia wanted to keep something to remember him by, then let her have it. It was only a lousy Star Pearl with fifteen Star Slots. Well, it was a terrifying Star Pearl with fifteen Blazing Sun Star Slots, all focused on offense. To be fair, if Jiang Xiao's Decoy could use the Inner Star Map, he would probably have taken off again.

Gaia said softly, "Thank you. I will bury it in the Alps, beneath my feet."
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao
