Happy Birthday! (Finale) (Continued)

If Merlin were truly standing in front of him, he would have already thrown a punch without hesitation.

"There's one thing Master should be mentally prepared for."

Merlin looked at Yuxian seriously and said, "You... are already dead."

Yuxian frowned, not understanding the meaning of those words.

What does it mean to be dead? He didn't believe everything that had happened before was a dream; he believed it was all real.

"Don't talk so loudly, you know that's really asking for a beating?" Yuxian said coldly.

Merlin ignored Yuxian's harsh words and continued to look at him with a smile.

"Saying you're dead isn't entirely accurate..."

Yuxian clenched his fist tighter; he still wanted to hit him, after all.

"To be precise, it should be the Master of Chaldea, the last Master of humanity, the one you are now dead."

Yuxian asked, "So what am I now?"

"You now are the you we found from before the timeline, or rather, the you of the past."

Yuxian said, "He is not me."

"He is you, and you are him," Merlin said immediately. "You are essentially the same person, just in different timelines."

Yuxian didn't want to discuss these things with Merlin; everyone's understanding of such profound questions is different.

"It seems you don't think so." Merlin saw through Yuxian's thoughts. "But that's alright, it's not the point."

"So what's the key point?" Yuxian asked.

"The point is that Chaldea can never be returned to," Merlin said. "The moment you die, Human Order will be completely burned away."

"We used a great deal of effort to move the entire Chaldea, but some facts cannot be changed."

Yuxian: "Why are you telling me all this? Or rather, what do you want me to do?"

Merlin looked directly at Yuxian, "Find everyone, go back and save Human Order."

Yuxian remained silent. He had already guessed the answer. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Having taken on the identity of the Chaldea Master, he had to do what the Chaldea Master should do.

He was mentally prepared for this.

How did I die?

Merlin shook his head. "I can't tell you."

"Sigh..." Merlin sighed. "In fact, Dr. Roman rejected the plan. He thought you would still go down that path, but we felt that there might be a turning point. Miracles always happen."

"Why me, and not someone else? Since I'm dead, wouldn't it be simpler to replace me?"

"Because it has to be you." Merlin said with certainty, "You should be able to feel everyone's trust in you. It's not fake, everyone truly trusts you, and no one else could do that."

"You are humanity's last master, and that has never changed."

Yuxian sighed, "If a nobody like me becomes humanity's last master, it would be abnormal for humanity not to perish."

"Don't say that. We all think you are an excellent Master, very excellent!"

Yuxian rolled his eyes, not wanting to discuss this issue with Merlin. Being praised by Merlin was nothing to be happy about.

"One last question," Yuxian, holding up one finger, "Where are you?"

"I am in Chaldea, I have always been here."

This answer surprised Yuxian. He finally realized that the Magus of Flowers in front of him was not as easy as he had imagined, otherwise he would have already caused trouble.

But that didn't stop Yuxian from wanting to beat him up.

Upon learning the truth, Yuxian's mood became much heavier. A deadly turning point awaited him on his path, and he didn't know if he could overcome it this time.

However, that moment has not yet arrived; finding everyone is the task at hand.

Years later, Yuxian finally found everyone in Chaldea. With Merlin's help, finding people became much easier.

On this day, everyone in Chaldea gathered together in celebration.

Today is a special day.

Emiya brought out a huge cake from the kitchen, and the children were already drooling with anticipation.

The Chaldea restaurant was packed with people, filled with a lively and festive atmosphere.

"Happy birthday!"

Yuxian happily watched as everyone in the room celebrated his birthday.

This scene seems familiar.

No matter how dangerous the road ahead, at this moment he truly felt... happiness!

(The End! Hooray!)
