Walking towards the front lines of the restricted area, Ye Yan turned back to look at Fulisina, who was already eating, and asked, "How does this planet's specialty taste?"
"The alien food tastes alright, quite delicious." After quickly finishing the sausage, Fulisina got down to business:
"I have come here hoping that you will deign to visit [ Paradise ]. A thousand years have passed... You can simply conceal your identity as you are now and go there as an ordinary interstellar traveler."
"Three more jumps." Ye Yan made the number three gesture. "You should be able to tell that I'm currently a member of the Astral Express. If nothing unexpected happens... three more jumps and I'll officially arrive at the Church."
"Then you can draw back the curtain... and reveal to me the [ Paradise ] that Blake and you have painstakingly decorated for a thousand years."
"I swear in the name of the [ Holy Maiden of Eternity ], I will never let you down!" Fulisina declared confidently, leaving Ye Yan speechless.
"I can tell, you really like the title ' Saintess '."
"Ahem! Who says a priestess can't be Saintess? Everything she does and says is carefully considered; please allow me to explain in detail..."
Seeing Ye Yan and the other person whispering behind him, March 7th wisely refrained from eavesdropping and patted Xing, who was looking for a trash can.
"Forget about those trash cans. Based on our past experience, let's just hope we don't run into any negotiation situations."
"Why do you say that? The art of language can only be fully revealed in the context of negotiation."
"Sigh~ You don't know, every negotiation-related situation ends up in a fight. But this time is different. We sent Dan Heng out in advance, and I believe he can definitely succeed in the negotiations."
"A taboo is taboo precisely because the truth is hidden within it. Cocolia fears that we possess this knowledge; she dreads the truth being revealed to the world."
Seele walked at the front, listening to the stories and experiences that Serval told her.
" Seele, to World-Saving, we have no choice but to take a desperate gamble. I've always been this stubborn; when I encounter something or someone I dislike, I stand up and fight back... and I will absolutely stick to what I believe in."
"Yes!" Seele empathized. "To World-Saving... to save Bronya!"
"Um... why is your attention all on Bronya? That kid really made some good friends during her trip to the Underworld."
Serval was taken aback; she even began to suspect that Seele was Bronya's favorite.
"An abandoned baby found by the gods, decades of nurturing, a mysterious ancient book... ultimately forged her status as Saintess —this is exactly the most common plot in novels!"
Fulisina vividly Ye Yan. Why do you think she's acting like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)? It all goes back to that unpredictable book.
Her hometown was Destruction by the Swarm... In the tenth Amber Era after Ye Yan found her, Fulisina opened her eyes again and found herself holding an unfamiliar book.
At first, she didn't pay attention and casually tossed the book away. Then, a magical force lifted the book up and flew back into her arms.
The book's title successfully caught her attention. "How to Attract the [ Eternity ] Aeon? Make Him Pay More Attention to You?"
(P. S.: Based on the personal experiences of the Masked Fools, I swear by the name of the God of Elation, the contents of this book are absolutely true... Please do not tell Him the specific details~ because we are 100% real! No refunds after receiving the goods~)
Upon opening the first page, Fulisina was immediately intrigued by the book's obscure and difficult language, and things quickly became unstoppable:
"The crown forged from the stars will eventually fade, but the tide of entropy surging in our blood has already inscribed the twin divine Prophecy of Creation and end!"
(P. S.: As soon as you say this to Him and see Him frown, you don't even need to think... He has noticed you! At this point, continue reading.)
"When the bells of heat Finality toll for the thousand and first time, Eternity becomes the universe's rebellious equation against Death Denial!"
After that, Fulisina found Ye Yan and, following the steps in the book, read it to him word for word.
Just as the book said, Ye Yan frowned... and asked her where she learned those cringeworthy words.
This is a holy book! It's practically a holy book!
"Ah... and what about that fox spirit from the Xianzhou you sent? Is there any special arrangement?" Fulisina added, afraid of missing any important information.
"Just make sure she's safely returned to the Xianzhou Luofu. As for the Tingyun... just don't cause any trouble."
Anyway, the next stop is the Xianzhou Luofu, where I'll be able to meet them again.
Upon arriving at the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone at the forefront, Gepard and the rest of the Silvermane Guards were already waiting. After seeing Ye Yan... their hearts finally settled down.
Huh? Why is my older sister here too?
Gepard's heart, which had just settled, jumped again. "Sister..."
"Stop. I know what you're going to say. Sorry, bro, I said I'd stand by them, and I won't waver!" Serval answered first, just as expected.
"Yes, yes, let's talk this out... Try not to fight. Our goal is the same as yours, Serval's, Bronya's: to Preservation this world! There's no reason for us to be enemies!" March 7th said, taking out Bronya's letter and handing it to Gepard.
"Ah?"
Gepard was clearly bewildered; this was how he started... making it seem like he was leading troops to capture them.
That said, they were really well-prepared!
"Um... everyone seems to have misunderstood something. I have no intention of being your enemy." He looked at Ye Yan; how could someone who helped the Silvermane Guards clear the Fragmentum be a bad person?
Gepard shared his thoughts with everyone. "Miss Bronya is the frontline commander. According to military regulations, when there is a conflict between the orders of the frontline commander and the orders of the Architects in the rear, they should remain in place and await further instructions."
"For the Silvermane Guards Guardians, the Guardian's command is supreme and absolute. But within the oath, there is something else that is equally important as her command."
"Without the people, the Silvermane Guards loses its meaning. The battle against the Fragmentum Monster is for [ Preservation ]. Mr. Ye Yan's improvements to the Silvermane Guards's weapons are also for better [ Preservation ]."
" Mr. Ye Yan has been kind to the Silvermane Guards, and as a garrison officer... I have no reason to fight you. If you can truly stop the ever-expanding disaster, then everyone in Belobog owes you a debt of gratitude."
"To continue north, they must cross an entire eroded Fragmentum to reach the snowfield on the other side. The Silvermane Guards can buy some time before the next wave of attacks arrives."
"Do you need any help?" Ye Yan asked. He didn't mind upgrading the weapon a second time, or rather, taking them along to fight the Fragmentum Monsters.
Gepard shook his head. "We can't always rely on outsiders for help. Only when we become strong ourselves... that's true strength."
"Indeed, I see the majestic spirit of the Lord of Preservation! Guardian, would you like to join the Church of Eternity?"
