"Mother!" Bronya rushed forward without hesitation and hugged Cocolia had fainted from exhaustion.

"Ah, another classic and touching scene of family affection."

March 7th whispered to Star, "As a member of the [ Trailblaze ], the train has traveled through many worlds, and we have witnessed too many partings and deaths."

"Is there anything else you want to say to her? This might be the last time you see her." Fulisina was still quite sentimental.

Bronya had a thousand words in her heart, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence. "Thank you for raising me to adulthood." Because of her future role Supreme Guardian, this was all she could say.

"It's over..."

"Mother... have you... won't you woken up from your dream?" Bronya looked at the unconscious Cocolia with a sorrowful expression.

Ye Yan surveyed everyone's condition; at least... Cocolia hadn't transformed into a sky full of stars as in the original story.

Death cannot absolve Cocolia of the suffering she brought to the Underworld.

"Wow, this Trailblaze... it's been tough, quite a challenge." March 7th exclaimed, then realized the most crucial problem. "Uh, but what about the [ Stellaron ]? Uncle Yang always handled that before..."

" Teacher Ye Yan, can you suppress the Stellaron with a flick on the forehead this time?"

Ye Yan clicked his tongue, "Of course you can. But... it seems some people are eager to try." After he finished speaking, everyone's attention shifted to Xing.

"In the battle just now, the hourglass blessed by the [ Eternity ] Aeon was completely useless." Xing walked to the Stellaron that had lost its light. Now, the troubling, seductive voice was no longer in her mind.

Xing took off the hourglass-shaped necklace hanging on her chest. Although she hadn't figured out its specific instructions, she had a vague feeling that... this hourglass pendant was definitely not as simple as she had imagined.

The hourglass burst forth with a dazzling white light the moment it touched the Stellaron. Before anyone could react, the Stellaron had vanished from their sight.

"Huh? What happened?" March 7th blinked, bewildered.

"Take a look at the hourglass," Ye Yan suggested.

Swish!

Everyone's attention was focused on the hourglass, where the upper half was emitting a golden light identical to that of the Stellaron.

"It's like... absorbing the Stellaron."

"Hey hey hey hey hey?!" Xing was startled and almost threw the hourglass necklace away.

"No way, am I going to be traveling with this thing from now on?" There's a reason why the Stellaron is called the " Cancer of All Worlds "—it's the kind of thing that everyone would despise upon seeing it.

"That's a contradiction. Don't you also have a Stellaron within you?"

"This is different!" Xing tried to argue, "I have to sleep with this thing with me every day, what if it explodes one day?"

Ye Yan patted Xing on the shoulder and assured him, "[ Eternity ] is a trustworthy publication. Don't worry about such a small problem."

After some casual conversation, the group got back to the main topic.

"Great! Now, the crisis in this world can be considered resolved, right?"

Dan Heng remained silent. "... The wind and snow are fierce and unlikely to stop abruptly."

"After the Stellaron is sealed, the Eternal Freeze will gradually subside. The Fragmentum in this world will no longer expand fiercely, but they won't disappear into thin air either. Jarilo-VI has the possibility of regaining its life, but that will take time..."

"That depends on their own efforts."

"Alas, fate is cruel. I really want to see the spring of Jarilo-VI... even just for a moment..."

Just as she finished speaking on March 7th, a cold wind brushed her cheek, and a voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Hello everyone, I wonder if this young lady believes... that a fleeting moment of Eternity is also [ Eternity ]?"

"Whoa! When did you arrive?"

Seeing that shiny blonde hair, Dan Heng's expression also turned ugly.

Upon seeing this man, the image of that smooth, white bar of soap involuntarily came to mind.

Dan Heng concluded that this was definitely spiritual pollution... He had truly grasped the terrifying nature of the Church of Eternity.

"Oh~ this place is filled with the scent of Eternity ~" Blake took a deep breath; this was the Eternity love he was obsessed with!

"Tch... disgusting." Fulisina retreated behind Ye Yan. This guy was unusually abstract today; she couldn't see the future of the Church with her eyes closed.

"Weren't you in the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone?" Seele asked, puzzled.

"You'll get used to it. Once you're associated with [ Eternity ], you'll be able to master the ability to teleport," March 7th explained.

Really? Why didn't I get it?

Xing clenched his fists, attempting to unlock the teleportation ability.

"Hmm?" Because Ye Yan's [ Eternity ] concentration was too high, Blake temporarily overlooked Xing's [ Eternity ] concentration, and thus focused his attention on her.

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

This gray-haired girl's background is a bit too complicated, isn't it?!

First, there's Blake's beloved Eternity and Trailblaze, then the newly awakened Preservation, and a touch of Elation...

Ugh... why is there still that nauseating smell of Destruction?

Blake's face instantly fell. He had originally wanted her to join the Church, but now it seemed...

Wait, what?! There are two more "Cancer of All Worlds"?!

Blake's face darkened further. Putting aside the fact that she was a rare multi -Pathstrider, you were out of the question as long as you were associated with [ Destruction ].

Block them! You absolutely must block them!

No! The hourglass necklace around her neck is actually from the same source as her soap—a gift from Ye Yan!

Doesn't that mean...?

This gray-haired girl... is qualified to be the [ Church Chair ]?!

Instantly, Blake's cloudy eyes became clear.

The possibility that Ye Yan was watching cannot be ruled out; Blake's mind has changed!

This is exactly the kind of talent the Church needs!

"Hmm. Join the Church!" Blake Chaoxing extended his hand, thinking he would let her succeed him as the Chair after he retired.

"Huh... huh?" Xing was stunned by the sudden turn of events, but fortunately she reacted quickly, grabbing Blake's large hand and preparing to give her acceptance speech.

"Perhaps only [ Eternity ] Emanator possess teleportation abilities." March 7th was still pondering this question.

Seeing Blake like this, even though she didn't know she was the same way, it made Fulisina want to cut ties with him.

"So... why are you here?" Seele asked, having met Blake a few times before.

"It's simple, because I heard this young lady's prayer." Blake looked sincerely at March 7th.

"Why?"

"As I just said: a moment of Eternity is also Eternity." Blake bowed politely to the people present.

"We can't let the chuunibyou elf steal all the limelight~" He lightly tossed his hair; if he didn't step in soon, he'd really be a sitting duck.

His gaze shifted to the unconscious Cocolia. "Poor thing, brainwashed by the [ Cancer of All Worlds ], it seems... you've already decided how to deal with her?"

Fulisina nodded, "Yes." Without hesitation, she told Bronya the ending of Cocolia:

"She will experience in full... the agony of those who died because of her, the agony they felt as they faced death."
