"I never imagined I would meet so many people in the future, and know their wishes..."
"... But how could fate reveal such a thing?"
Dodora Mi asked, "What are you worried about?"
"Didn't you just say that the great calamity of Amphoreus is coming? If that's the case, Cyrene and I should have stayed in the Aedes Elysiae. How did we end up meeting all sorts of people?"
"The disaster will eventually pass; perhaps they have arrived at the Aedes Elysiae."
"Isolated villages will become humanity's last refuge... that makes sense. It's a truly hopeful answer, I like it."
Xing then changed the subject, "Who knows... maybe... disaster is the reason you embarked on this journey."
"If that's the case, then... who will protect everyone in the Aedes Elysiae?"
Phainon sighed and looked at Cyrene: " Cyrene, can you give me that ' Savior ' card?"
"Although the voices, faces, and desires it foreshadows are still too distant for me right now..."
"But I always felt a voice calling to me, urging me to pick it up. Or perhaps, only after I pick it up will I truly know its weight."
"" Savior "."
' Lygus ' suddenly appeared behind Xing and slowly spoke.
"It's a pity, a lament—even if fate decreed that the boy would bear the weight of the world in the future, he could not become the hero who brought the dawn."
"What are you talking about... Do you think I'm the one who ' World-Saving ' the world?"
Xing was getting a little impatient. "You, did you come here specifically to spoil the plot?!"
"Follow them, Lord Star. Witness the first step taken by the man who was destined not to be a hero on the path to World-Saving."
A blood-red sun, withered straw, a burning village—
At this moment, the boy felt as if he were standing at the end of the world.
"On the day the Black Tide struck, the hesitant boy finally set off, heading towards the first battlefield with his companions."
"And in the distant future, on the land of Amphoreus, the footprints of heroes will be etched: he will wield his sword and, in the epic of gold, write an immortal poem."
As the first rays of light rose above the horizon, a wounded boy stood on the scorched earth, silently burying the victims one by one...
"Together with his hometown, his past, his name."
Just as Xing was about to immerse herself in the experience, the scene before her eyes suddenly shifted, and she and ' Lygus ' were back inside the " Vortex of Genesis ".
"Why did you cut the video? You don't want us to see it, do you?!"
Xing stood with her hands on her hips, her heart still burning with excitement!
"Hehe~ Consider this my pre-viewing warning. Are you truly ready? Allow me to solemnly remind you: once you uncover the true face of your Remembrance..."
"Once the course of the world has begun, there is no turning back."
Xing nodded, and ' Lygus ' continued, "Since Your Excellency has made up your mind, then let us witness it together."
"As the sole audience member of this ' Eternity ' theater, I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival, which is why I must show you all this."
"I believe that, since you have been bathed in the gaze of that Aeon— "
' Lygus ' raised his arms, 'You will surely be able to make the fate of Amphoreus, which has been frozen, flow again...'
Seeing that Xing did not respond for a long time, ' Lygus ' continued, "Feeling bewildered? As you can see, this scene is exactly the final chapter of the play ' Amphoreus '..."
"This was created by man alone, and it is also the last ' Eternal Recurrence ' this world will ever experience."
"Look: standing beside the swordsman is the very man he sometimes calls his partner, sometimes his comrade-in-arms, the 'nameless hero' who has vanished without a trace in history—"
"Etc."
Xing suddenly raised his hand, interrupting ' Lygus's ' speech.
" Teacher Ye Yan, didn't you say... you hate Riddlers the most?"
She looked at ' Lygus ' with a look of utter incomprehension.
"Um?"
"You might have fooled me in March 7th, but I won't."
Xing explained, "I don't know if you deliberately revealed a flaw, or if you wanted me to tell the truth, but in the Aedes Elysiae, there are many meaningless milk teas and Eternity elements."
"And there's one more thing that's easily overlooked, Teacher Ye Yan: I am the ' Eternity ' Emanator."
Xing ripped off the hourglass-shaped necklace, not to mention her " Eternity " artifacts. Even if ' Lygus ' was just an empty shell created by Ye Yan's energy, she could still sense it.
This made Xing suspect that Ye Yan did it intentionally. She needed to confirm His current stance: was He the " Eternity " Aeon Yite, or the Nameless Ye Yan?
To this, ' Lygus ' chuckled softly, removed his mask, and an unexpected female voice rang out.
"Ugh, this isn't fun."
star:?
Upon seeing the true face beneath the ' Lygus ' mask, Xing froze on the spot.
"This is boring. I should have just let Ye Yan come by himself." Silver Wolf was still chewing on his Lil' Twist Bubble Gum when he greeted Chaoxing.
"Huh--?!"
Why you?!
