Kallen Reached Out to Catch a Fading Speck of Light: "The Stars Are So Close Today"

First, the body.

Then comes blood, bones, and Remembrance.

Finally, even the outline of the soul began to turn into Shattered Light, merging into that new World Lines.

Bei Bei clenched her fist. "He's already given so much, why would he abandon even his existence?"

"Because he wants to ensure there are no unexpected incidents," Tian Hen replied.

Bei Bei looked at him.

Tian Hen's gaze fell on the fading meteor. "As long as Otto exists, the old World Lines may leave echoes. As long as there are echoes, Kallen's rebirth cannot be called a true rebirth."

"So he pulled himself out of all time," Ye Yinzhu said softly, "Not dwelling on the past, not interfering with the present, and not entering the future."

"He didn't even leave himself a grave." Hai Long's voice lowered.

Niu Tian snorted coldly, but his expression was far from relaxed. "This approach is a bit too extreme."

"Absolutely?" Tai Tan said in a deep voice, "If it were you, would you choose to let everyone go back to the old ending with you?"

Niu Tian opened his mouth, but ultimately did not answer.

The golden meteor is still moving forward.

It passed through a vast, white space where there were no stars, no time, and no sound. Otto's figure finally emerged from the meteor.

He stood in the boundless Nihility, his long white hair blowing in the unseen wind.

The world behind us is being reborn.

His body had become so transparent that it was almost illusory.

Ahead, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the light.

Kallen stood amidst Flower Sea blooming flowers, a Knight's Lance in her hand. Her face held no tears, no sorrow, only the bright radiance of New Life.

She couldn't see Otto.

She didn't even know that someone had once stood on the edge of this Nihility, shielding her from the fate of the entire Old World.

Otto looked at her, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

The smile was no longer as wild as it used to be, nor was it calculated.

All that remains is a sense of relief after exhaustion.

"Can he still see Kallen?" Ji Dong asked in a low voice.

"Perhaps that's the final permission," Lie Yan said. "To let him see for himself that she really did survive."

"To see, yet not to acknowledge," Zi said slowly, "Is more cruel than to be completely blind."

Lei Xiang gritted his teeth. "If it's so painful, why not just walk over?"

"Because he no longer belongs to that world," A'Dai said softly. "If he goes there, perhaps everything will start anew."

"But he's just one step away," Xu Sanshi couldn't help but say, "Even if Kallen doesn't know him, at least he can stand by her side!"

Tang Ya glanced at him. "Is that still protecting someone? Or is it forcibly cramming your own regrets into Kallen's life?"

Xu Sanshi was speechless.

Zhou Weiqing touched his nose, unusually refraining from making any teasing remarks.

Otto raised his hand, as if trying to touch the figure in the Light Screen.

His fingers went through Kallen's shoulders.

There is no tactile sensation.

There is no temperature.

There wasn't even a ripple.

Kallen simply raised her head slightly and looked at the distant sky.

A golden streak of light flashed past her eyes.

She seemed to sense something and reached out to catch a wisp of light that was about to disappear.

The point of light lingered in her palm for a moment before transforming into a warm glow.

Kallen was slightly taken aback.

The stars seem so close tonight.

She smiled at the person next to her.

"Perhaps it's a blessing for you," the person replied.

"Blessings?" Kallen gazed up at the night sky. "Then I'll bless them too."

She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

I did not wish for honor, nor did I wish for Eternity victory.

She only said one sentence.

"I hope everyone can survive."

Otto, in the Void, heard it.

His eyes trembled slightly.

The next moment, the meteor began to disintegrate.

Countless specks of light peeled off his body, passed through the world where Kallen was, and fell into that brilliant starry sky.

He glanced at Kallen one last time, as if he had finally received the answer he wanted.

A man's voice can be heard in the video.

"Live on!"

The sound wasn't loud, yet it seemed to transcend time and space, reaching everyone's ears.

The Dragon Prince's expression changed drastically.

"That's an order."

The Dragon God shook his head. "No, it's a request."

"No." Tang San stared at the Light Screen. "For Otto, these were the last words he could say."

The golden meteor continued to burn.

Otto's body was reduced to half an outline, his face beginning to blur. He left no name, no suicide note, and no response to Kallen.

He simply gazed at that newly born world and repeated it once more.

"Live on!"

This time, there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Kallen, of course, didn't hear it.

But at that moment, she opened her eyes and turned to look behind her.

There was no one there.

Only a gust of wind swept through the Flower Sea, scattering petals everywhere.

"What's wrong?" the person next to him asked.

Kallen was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Nothing."

She turned around and continued walking forward.

She walked with unwavering determination.

There was no waiting for anyone, nor was there any looking back for any name.

Because she possessed the freedom that Otto had traded his entire life for.

"Is this what he wanted?" Tang Wulin's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes," Lie Yan replied softly.

He didn't even want Kallen to remember him.

"At least, I don't want her to stop because of me."

Looking at Kallen in the image, Gu Yuena suddenly said, "But he wasn't without his own selfish motives."

Everyone was taken aback.

Gu Yuena continued, "He wanted Kallen to live. This wasn't a mission bestowed upon him by the world, but his personal wish. He gave up everything just so that she could live according to her own will."

"So it's the Ultimate Selfishness," Rong Nianbing said slowly.

This statement made many people frown.

Ning Rongrong looked at him. "Giving everything to others, is that selfish?"

"It's precisely because he acted only according to his own desires that he was selfish," Rong Nianbing sighed. "He didn't ask Kallen if she was willing to accept it, nor did he give anyone a chance to stop him. He decided the outcome for everyone."

"He saw saving Kallen as his right," Tian Hen added.

"They also consider sacrificing themselves as their right," Ye Yinzhu said.

Tang San was silent for a moment, then said, "But sometimes, the most selfish thing a person can do is choose to live."

On the Light Screen, Otto's figure was almost transparent.

He watched Kallen's retreating figure, his voice as soft as a sigh.

"This is the most selfish thing a person can do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Imaginary Tree suddenly trembled.

Above the Tree Canopy, billions of stars simultaneously went out and then lit up again.

Otto's last traces were erased inch by inch.

His name has disappeared.

His Remembrance has vanished.

The proof that he once existed in a certain era has also disappeared.
