The Consciousness Ocean, overflowing with radiance, had not sent any new darkness for some time.
After a violent surge, the conflict between light and darkness began to settle, maintaining a safe distance from each other.
Clearly, Ceruno and Mi Xue had reached some kind of consensus.
What was I supposed to do next?
Did I still need to keep purifying the darkness?
As I pondered, a cluster of consciousness drifted down before me and gradually took on Terra's form.

"What conclusion?" I asked.
"Ceruno has become an existence above all consciousnesses. She will negotiate with the Great Will as the Earth Crystal's representative..."
I cut her off. "Get to the point. I already know all that."
Terra closed her eyes, displaying a rare hint of sorrow.
"Miluno, we don't have the power to stop the Great Will from destroying the current world."

When I asked that, Terra merely shook her head and spread her hands.
"Who knows?"
Only Mi
