Inside a bubble tea shop at Oti Mall
Acheron watched Ye Yan arguing with the Masked Fools over the shop, then turned and left without hesitation.
"Huh? Your [ Emanator ] have all run away, aren't you going to try and stop them?" Sparkle turned her head to look.
Ye Yan said in a serious tone, "She is actually a hidden [ Galaxy Ranger ]."
Hehe~ Do you think I believe that?
"Simply put, she is a Self-Annihilator cursed by [ Nihility ], and could also be considered a half- Eternity Emanator."
Those Self-Annihilator are those who inadvertently step into the shadow of [ Nihility ] IX and thus lose their reason for existence.
The shadow of Nihility equally obscures the starry sky. Self-Annihilator may be born in any world. These pitiful people share a common characteristic: their various attributes of existence—body, cognition, Remembrance...—will gradually perish on their journey of Self-Annihilation.
The homeland of the Acheron suffered a catastrophic disaster long ago, and the entire world perished under the shadow of IX.
To defy her Self-Annihilation fate, she embarks on a journey to find a way to sever the [ Nihility ].
It is precisely by relying on a little bit of [ Eternity ] that she is able to walk safely on the path of [ Nihility ], and the loss of Remembrance and the disappearance of colors are also under control.
Beneath the shadows, only Eternity remains.
In that Tavern at the end of the world, whenever someone speaks of " Eternity," the Masked Fools transform into philosophical sages, engaging in debates specifically on this topic.
Some say: Existence is Eternity; others say: Nihility created Eternity.
Sparkle was eager to know the opinion of the [ Eternity ] Aeon himself on this matter, but instead received a cold shoulder in return.
"Let people explore these questions themselves. Next... about the three deaths, I can't believe you came up with such a method."
"What can I do? The Script that hunter friend gave me was all gibberish. Do you know how difficult that is for a director?" Sparkle sat at the table and Ye Yan.
Ye Yan's face immediately darkened. How could someone open a store without stocking up on goods?!
"Our shop operates on a pay-first, then ship. As for the goods... forget about all that stuff. You're already here, how can I explain to God of Elation if I don't rip you off?"
Seeing that Ye Yan didn't respond, Sparkle instantly got into character, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Waaah~ We're all working-class people in the Galaxy, and you won't even give me a cup of milk tea?"
Sparkle sighed helplessly, all the whimsical ideas in her mind becoming useless, because that person had repeatedly instructed her to make sure that these [three deaths] were carried out in the safest way possible.
What is the safest way...?
Sparkle turned her head to look at Ye Yan, staring straight at him.
"They say [ Eternity ] grants all requests, but could it be...?"
"Ten billion Credits."
Ye Yan placed his phone on the table and thoughtfully opened the payment QR code page.
"How much?! Are you kidding me?! You're a Aeon! How could you possibly lack Credits?!"
Sparkle stood up angrily. Even if she were emptied of all her resources, she might not have this much! She even went to Sampo to gather information, and it seemed that Ye Yan used to frequently rob the Interastral Peace Corporation with his own God of Elation.
Forget it, I'll believe that the problem lies with her.
10 billion Credits... Hmm, Giovanni should be able to come up with that; he's quite wealthy.
"One billion Credits."
Out of 'good intentions', Ye Yan still gave the Sparkle a discount.
"Please round it down to ten Credits, okay?"
Negotiations failed, and since Sparkle wasn't the controlling director type, she decided to let the actors choose the direction of the Script.
Although the Script was gibberish, my friend still gave her a brief overview of what was about to happen, such as the love and hate relationships within the Chicken Wing Boy's family.
At the Golden Hour, on her way to the Dreamscape Sales Store, Xing was startled by the billboards all around her.
"That startled me! The billboard actually moved?"
"Welcome to the [ Dreamscape Sales Store ], Trailblaze of the Astral Express!"
As soon as Xing arrived at the Dreamscape Sales Store, she was drawn to those eyes, as large as Cirrus.
"Wow~ Are you a distant relative of Cirrus?"
"You can call me Dr. Edward, and I'd be happy to serve you! Here you can experience all sorts of novel and interesting dreams—from those produced by Clock Studios to those donated by private individuals, we have it all!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is your first time in Penacony, is it?"
Dr. Edward rolled his eyes.
"Rest assured, Dr. Edward will provide you with meticulous assistance, helping you choose your first Dreamscape and fully enjoy the audiovisual feast that can only be experienced in dreams!"
"The analysis is complete! I think you'll love these two dream bubbles."
"These came from an anonymous private donation, and it's said that the Remembrance within... belong to the fallen Aeon Akivili and Aeon Yite. I can assure you, these two Dream Bubbles are absolutely perfect for you!"
Upon hearing the names of the two familiar figures, Xing became interested. "How many Credits should I pay?"
"Oh~ You don't need to pay. Dr. Edward promises that every new customer can experience a dream bubble for free. Dr. Edward will not make any changes to the authenticity of the dream bubble's content—a dream is a dream, enjoy it."
"Alright, which dream bubble would you like to choose?"
Xing thought for a few minutes, then said, "Let's start with Yite's my portion."
Thinking about it carefully, what if this [ Eternity ] dream bubble contains Ye Yan's unbearable past? Exploring the Aeon's past, she should be the first in the world to do so.
A blur appeared before her eyes, and Xing successfully entered this dream bubble from a first-person perspective.
"Wow! I'm Ye now... cough cough, I've become the [ Eternity ] Aeon?"
Dr. Edward's voice automatically rang in Xing's mind.
(I will not offer any interpretation or suggestive commentary on the contents of this dream bubble. Within this dream bubble, you will share the Remembrance of its owner and personally experience what they saw and heard.)
"(And for the vague parts in your dream bubble, your subconscious will actively retrieve similar concepts to fill in the gaps.)"
Inside the dream bubble, Ye Yan was looking at an elven girl dressed in pure white cultivation clothes and threw a bar of soap at her.
"■■■,■■■■■?"
"Ready!" The silver-haired elf was full of fighting spirit.
Xing fell silent for a moment. This first-person perspective was silent... was she supposed to provide her own voiceover?
"(Sorry. When I recorded this dream bubble, some of the audio tracks were already lost—perhaps even Memoria couldn't contain that ineffable sound.)"
"(But to enhance the experience, I can adjust the dream bubble, meaning you can choose to have it voiced by anyone—as long as you're familiar enough, I can perfectly recreate your subconscious!)"
Xing asked, "Is anyone's voice okay?"
"(No, it must be someone you know well—unless you don't care about the fidelity of the voice.)"
"(Okay, please make your choice! I will try my best to meet your needs.)"
"Ha! That goes without saying, just use the voice of March 7th, that'll make it funny."
