Canglan swept her gaze over the solemn crowd. "Everyone, after this battle, we should understand that the duties of the Spirit Kings should not be limited to guarding our respective planets."
"We must unite and bring more star systems, more civilizations, under our protection."
"We must never allow the disaster suffered by the Four Great Star Systems today to be repeated elsewhere!"
However, her tone soon took on a note of grim reality. "But with our current strength, even if we all gather here..."
"To protect the countless living beings throughout this vast universe, I'm afraid... we are still far from capable of doing so."
Scarlett nodded at those words. "The task is unimaginably difficult, and the road ahead is covered in thorns. But that is precisely why we must do it!"
"The disaster of the Four Great Star Systems must never happen again! This is not only our responsibility, but the meaning of our existence!"
"Perhaps we cannot protect everything at once, but we can begin with the places within our reach."
"Pass the flame onward, and one day it will set the plains ablaze!"
"And the first step before us..." Scarlett's gaze fell once more upon the dying Tree of Life. "...is that we must find her!"
"To restore the Tree of Life, we cannot do without her unique divine power of revival! This is the key to turning the present crisis around!"
Canglan nodded heavily and added, "Her name is Mo Ruier."
"She possesses the divine power to revive all things."
"When spring arrives, she can restore vitality to a world locked in ice and make all things grow."
"When winter descends, she can also protect the seeds of all living things beneath the snow, allowing them to preserve their vitality and safely endure the long winter."
