• After one and a half million years, the Angel Civilization had almost no one left in its rear, and its adults were too occupied with the war to raise new generations.

Over one million five hundred thousand years of war, countless heroes of Paradise Mountain fell as the Defiled World Army pressed the Great Wall. Jiang Yuu remained steadfast against eleven Defiled Kings until Annatania’s death finally broke through his composure; he recovered and buried her body, then vowed to win and bring her back.

• Remembering his conversation with Gael about the sacrifices behind civilization’s progress, Anwyn realized that civilization’s ultimate ascension was sacrifice.

Wounded and alone among his enemies, Jiang Yuu returned to the Grand Cemetery and stood beneath the Blazing Heaven Holy Banner as his will began to fade.

• Lucifer called on the warriors of Paradise Mountain to sacrifice themselves, then knelt beneath the Blazing Heaven Holy Banner and began to burn away her body and soul.
• Anwyn and the rest of the Angel Civilization joined Lucifer, and their sacrifices formed a Civilization Flower Crown that entered Jiang Yuu and healed him.
