"He intends to heal you," Silver Wolf said to the old woman. "He wants to heal you; he can even resurrect you if you die."

Ji Yuan introduced himself, "I am a member of the Genius Society, majoring in life sciences."

The old woman's eyes showed a blank expression.

Then she grabbed Ji Yuan's hand in ecstasy.

"If you can cure those children, we will be very grateful to you. As for me, I'm an old woman who has lived to this age, so I won't ask for anything more."

Ji Yuan waved his hand.

"Since you're already emotionally charged, getting a new leg for you is a piece of cake. If you want, you can even go straight for the Penacony long jump championship next time, no problem."

"You're making things too difficult for this old woman."

A smile involuntarily crept onto the old woman's lips.

Honestly, who would want to be a disabled person who can't walk? Especially since she has two children to raise.

Because they still needed to find the graves of the three Nameless, Ji Yuan and the others didn't linger there. After exchanging locations with the old woman, Ji Yuan and the others left.

Walking along the road, the Robin's expression was somewhat complicated.

Seeing her expression, Ji Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... I just heard that old woman describe those children as little birds whose wings hadn't grown properly, and it reminded me of something that happened to me when I was a child."

"What is it?"

Ji Yuan asked the Robin.

The Robin thought for a moment and then answered, "When I was little, I met a Melodi-Dove that couldn't fly for a while. I wanted to rescue it and send it back to the sky. But my brother planned to keep it and not let it fly back to the sky."

"And then what? What was the bird's final fate?" Misha asked curiously as she approached the Robin.

"Before I left Penacony, I released the Melodi-Dove," the Robin answered Misha's question.

"That's wonderful!" Misha exclaimed happily. "The bird is finally free; it can finally return to the sky."

"But..." the Robin, his voice slightly lowered. "My brother never told me about that bird again. So, if nothing unexpected happened, it probably met with misfortune long ago."

"Huh?! How could this be?"

Misha covered her mouth in surprise.

The Robin shook its head and said, "My brother told me that people mistakenly believe that birds' flight is their nature because they have never seen a bird fall to its death."

Hearing this story, the others felt a little down.

However, Ji Yuan smiled and comforted the Robin: "So you're thinking that it would be better for those children to live in a dream forever. But I'm here to offer a third solution to this problem."

"A fledgling with a broken wing cannot fly into the sky, so I fitted it with a new, extra-strong wing so that it can fly freely."

"Yes."

The Robin amused and exasperated by Ji Yuan's third method of solving the problem, but he believed that what Ji Yuan did was right.

Meanwhile, Yomikawa on the other side was looking at her with a similar gaze to that of Robin. Ji Yuan's approach to solving the problem was the same: he had to find a third solution. He didn't want a result that was either one way or the other, where both sides had flaws.

Why do you always think like that?

Yomikawa Quan asked Ji Yuan.

"Because I am very strong. At the same time, I am also very greedy," Ji Yuan said with a smile.

I have the desire to have it all, and I also have the ability to have it all.

So why can't I have the best of both worlds, or even the best of three or four?

Yomikawa nodded silently.

Having witnessed that incident, she had some faith in Ji Yuan. Moreover, if he could maintain that mindset, perhaps many potential tragedies would be avoided in the future.

How many tragedies could have been avoided, but they gave up early and chose a less bad ending? Little did they know, perhaps with just a little more effort, they could have found a better outcome.

Xing nodded earnestly.

That's right, that's how it should be. Ji Yuan understands me best.

Silver Wolf crossed his arms and couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ji Yuan's answer.

Is this your excuse for wanting to build a harem?

Ji Yuan also saw the look in Silver Wolf's eyes, and then nodded frankly.

Silver Wolf took two steps back.

The group then followed the directions Mika had given them to the monument and cemetery.

Although the tombstones were neatly constructed, only three small monuments, or rather, tombstones, remained. Ji Yuan looked ahead and noticed that two of the three tombstones had names written on them.

One tombstone reads "Lazzarina," another "Tielnan," and the one without a name should be Mikhail's.

Yomikawa Quan looked at the tombstone of Tielnan among the three tombstones, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Ji Yuan asked her, "Is this the person you're looking for?"

"I have no idea."

Yomikawa shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

"My Remembrance are so fragmented they're unrecognizable," Yomikawa said, shaking his head.

Ji Yuan comforted him, "Is that so? Then it seems we need to search carefully for traces of the previous Trailblazer at Dreamflux Reef."

"Um."

Yomikawa nodded.

Just as he was about to go over to look at the tombstone, Yomikawa suddenly stopped.

"Enemies!"

Yomikawa reminded Ji Yuan and the others.

Subsequently, Ji Yuan also sensed danger.

He looked up and found that the top of Dreamflux Reef was now completely obscured by darkness.

Is it cloudy?

No.

Soon, Ji Yuan could see clearly what the darkness was.

Swarm, all sorts of disgusting and terrifying True Sting, appeared in the sky above Dreamflux Reef.

Amidst this vast sky filled with insects, a figure clad in mecha and engulfed in flames appeared.

Each time she waves her hand, it causes the death of a large number of True Sting.

As if by telepathy, she looked at Ji Yuan on the ground.

"Ji Yuan, help me, don't let these insects leave and harm others."

Firefly shouted loudly at Ji Yuan.

"Okay, I understand."

Upon hearing Firefly's words, Ji Yuan immediately stopped hesitating and made a hand gesture to unleash the Dragon Lord's Mystery, instantly releasing a massive ice dragon.

Yomikawa Quan acted even faster than Ji Yuan, and had already begun to slaughter the Swarm.

"You should lead everyone from Dreamflux Reef into the building to take shelter, and make sure to protect the others."

Before taking off, Ji Yuan spoke to Xing and Silver Wolf.

"Uh-huh."

Xing pulled out Baseball Bat, ready to help the others.

After doing all this, Ji Yuan flew into the sky and began to slash and kill the insects.

The Swarm's strength is not particularly great.

However, the number is simply too large.

Yomikawa and Ji Yuan simultaneously joined forces to help Firefly fight the Swarm. Ji Yuan used the Dragon Lord's Mystery to quickly reach Firefly's side.

"Have you been dealing with these bugs these past few days?"

Ji Yuan went to her side and asked her.

"Yes, Elio sent me over there to wipe out the Swarm. I've dealt with over a hundred million of them in the past few days. Only these few are still active, and now, after my attack, they've all flown over here," Firefly nodded, her voice tinged with weariness.

After all, she was just a newly Emanator, slightly weaker than the veteran Emanator. She had been cutting down Swarm for several days, and she was starting to feel the urge to rest.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately said with concern, "Then you should rest well this time. With me here, watch me take care of these disgusting guys."

"Yeah, thank goodness you were here this time, otherwise I really would have failed."

The key point is that that's really what she thought.

As Ji Yuan thought this, he swiftly swung his sword, slaying all the Propagation insects one by one. Meanwhile, Yomikawa had already killed tens of thousands of Swarm.

This was because she was worried about the stability of Dreamflux Reef and did not go all out.

After Ji Yuan slashed and killed a group of insects with his sword, he once again used the Dragon Lord's Mystery to conjure up ice dragons, which swallowed all the insects.

With the combined efforts of the three, almost all the insects in the sky were wiped out. Ji Yuan kept one, storing it in his storage device. He would save it for later research.

He wanted to see what different changes would occur in the Propagation Swarm in this world.

After doing all this, Ji Yuan looked at Firefly.

At this moment, Firefly made her armor disappear, restoring her original appearance.

Ji Yuan moved closer to Firefly, but at this moment Firefly showed a look of panic on her face and hurriedly waved her hand at him.

"Don't get too close to me yet."

"Um?"

Ji Yuan looked confused.

"I've been fighting bugs for days on end, and I've been hiding inside the mech the whole time. I'm sure I smell really bad," Firefly said, somewhat dejectedly.

She wore Sam's mech to avoid getting covered in the dust and slime that would explode when the Swarm died. Of course, she also had some chuunibyou (delusional) ideas, like being able to shout out attack names freely while inside the mech.

After all, as a former member of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, these Propagation insects were old rivals. As the fight progressed, Firefly felt she was bound to unleash a torrent of melodramatic, over-the-top remarks.

Hearing her say that, Ji Yuan looked at her speechlessly.

"You are now the Emanator of Abundance, and if you are still worried about these smells, I would cry for the fallen Aeon Long."

"Oh, I think so." Firefly nodded in sudden realization. After figuring it out, she excitedly moved closer to Ji Yuan. But she still asked him with some concern, "Is there really no smell?"

"Certainly."

Seeing that only Yomikawa was looking this way, Ji Yuan leaned closer to Firefly and gently placed his lips on her cherry lips.

"It has no taste at all."

After the kiss, Ji Yuan whispered to Firefly.

"Ugh..." When he did this, Firefly immediately covered her cheeks in embarrassment and then simply hid behind Ji Yuan.

Yomikawa watched from the side, recalling the scene of Ji Yuan forcibly kissing him back then.

A lecherous and greedy fellow.

But,

Just as he said.

If he weren't so greedy, how could he have found a path to happiness for everyone?

Holding Firefly's hand, Ji Yuan walked down, and Yomikawa Ji Yuan behind him, landing on the ground again.

Because of the appearance of the Swarm, the entire Dreamflux Reef was in a state of chaos.
