Su Yao immediately recognized the protagonist of the photo – it was Perlis.

Under the picture, the poster left a message: “Perlis Hafurgard, the hero who broke through the dark clouds.”

Countless comments praised Perlis’s figure. While they marveled at the tenacious resistance of Qi Lang’s army, they also admired this girl who changed the situation of the war.

Su Yao suddenly realized one thing: the war was won.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at the drawing paper on the drawing board beside her – on it was the profile of a white-haired girl outlined in plain ink.

Two lines of tears fell from her cheeks, and Su Yao smiled.

Miss Pearlis is indeed a girl who can bring miracles.

……

On the north coast, above the shallows, the Kuroshio followers were retreating back into the ocean, looking like a receding tide.

Tianshi recorded this with a pen. She was sitting next to the shelter beside the shallows. Her skirt was covered in mud and her pantyhose on her legs were torn in several places, revealing faint wounds underneath.

But her expression remained calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

“…”

Beside her, [Jinwei] Dugu Bahuo was looking at the receding tide and putting his Embroidered Spring Sword back on his waist.

“We have won, temporarily,” he said, “your brother’s blood has value.”

Hearing this, Tian Shi raised her head from the notebook, looked at her master with dark eyes, and murmured softly:

“If we fail, will Brother’s blood still be valuable?”

Dugu Bahuo was stunned for a moment, then he sighed softly.

He looked towards the shallows of the north coast, where countless soldiers’ bodies were left. Although the main force of the Lord of the Black Tide was not present here, there was no Great Wall either.

“From the moment their blood flowed into the earth, it was priceless.”

Dugu Bahuo said, Tianshi nodded gently, and while recording this sentence, she spoke:

“The master is also very talented in literature, much better than those new generation kids.”

“Real insights cannot be written out of thin air by a child who can only use words and sentences. Besides, aren’t you also from the new generation?” Dugu Bahuo smiled.

“Yeah… counting… it’s been eight or nine years?” Tian Shi murmured, “Master, do you still remember where you picked me up?”

“I forgot a long time ago that many places in the Kuroshio Land don’t have coordinates, and we are always on the move,” Dugu Bahuo smiled, “But I remember that the starry sky that night was particularly shining.”

……

“We won…”

Upon hearing the news of victory, Shaya slumped in the chair in the cab of the Turtle and closed her eyes.

Beside her, Buzhiged wiped the sweat from his forehead, unable to believe that the war was actually over.

He has wandered in the Black Tide Land for so long and witnessed all kinds of strange Black Tide followers. They are difficult to eliminate and can only be contained. This is why the Qilang people have always found it difficult to recover the territory outside the Great Wall.

He once imagined what kind of bizarre power the [Lord of the Black Tide] possessed. Since the [Lord of the Black Tide] marched, he and the mechanical giant wolf Artamis had been controlling the Black Tide tribe behind the army, cutting off the Black Tide’s reinforcements as much as possible.

However, it all ended quickly.

According to the intelligence from the front line, Perlis Hafrigard defeated the [Lord of the Black Tide] alone.

Brigade could not imagine what kind of willpower the girl from Hafgard had to defeat Him, but no matter what, she was undoubtedly a hero.

A war is over.

“It’s hard to imagine…” the middle-aged nomad murmured, “Shaya, you…”

Burigede turned his head and found that Shaya had fallen asleep. The little girl had been listening for a long time and now her face was a little pale and pitiful.

“You should get some good sleep…”

Buzhigede picked up the headphones from Shaya’s neck, put them on her ears, and pressed them lightly.

He took off his coat, covered Saya with it, then walked out of the cab and left [Tortoise].

To the north of this area is the former territory of Monkar, which was once a grassland but is now just a charred plain.

Brigade looked at the plain silently, imagining that the lush green grassland would one day cover the entire earth again, all the way to the edge of the world.

……

[Sky Eye] Facility 0, Lian took a deep breath and raised his head from the three screens:

“We won! The Lord of the Black Tide was destroyed!”

All the Qilang soldiers who were on high alert around the facility cheered immediately. They had been guarding for a whole day without sleep and were finally relieved.

Lian collapsed in the chair. She gently stroked her chest, feeling her heartbeat getting faster and faster. Certain emotions that she had rarely felt before were returning in waves, making her heart surge.

Yes… She has been away from Qilang for a long time, and away from her hometown for a long time…

“…”

“Call Kui back and tell her not to guard it anymore. Yuanzhen is not that important,” Lian said to Officer Qi Lang with tears in her eyes, “Tell her that her sister wants to drink with her… yes… drink… there should be a bar here?”

“You can’t drink alcohol in the army, Dr. Shansen Rei.” The officer smiled apologetically, “But there are nutritious juices.”

“Forget it, it’s so boring!” Lian yelled, “It’s time to call Carly to come down, and Perlis should be here soon…”

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to the computer beside her, activated the [Subspace Protocol], and sent a signal to low-Earth orbit.

However, more than ten seconds passed and she did not receive a reply.

“Is it stuck?” Lian murmured, “Let’s run a diagnostic… Alas, your Qilang people’s stuff is quite advanced, but the underlying code is simply a pile of shit. It has reported errors many times… I should have brought my auxiliary arm with me… It’s so annoying, so annoying, so annoying…”

……

On the plain in front of the Great Wall, Perlis put the two small white flowers back into her pocket and slowly raised her head.

She looked up at the sky, put one hand on her forehead, and pursed her lips slightly.

The sun once again shines on this lost paradise under the black tide, returning the sunshine that should have belonged to everyone.

Pearlis knew that this was not just her credit.

She knew that if she were to fight against the Lord of the Black Tide in his full state, she would not have any chance of winning.

That is a god who can split mountains with one sword. No matter how powerful Perlis is, she can never be stronger than the [Star Seed] who possesses specific authority.

The biggest contributor to this victory was Coles Halfgard. If it weren’t for his perseverance and fighting for a hundred years, perhaps Inmotalus would have returned to the world in that body long ago.

Until the last moment, the eyes of the [Holy Envoy of Heaven] were still bright red, reflecting the motto of the Hafurgards:

The continuation of civilization is the hymn of Hafgard.

This journey across the stars to find relatives has finally come to an end.

Perlis peeked into the entire journey through the gaps in history. In the interweaving of light and shadow, she seemed to have traveled a long distance with those people. She silently watched their joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, and gradually melted into their experiences, and regarded herself as a part of this great journey across the stars.

But in the end, she was the only one left on this journey. She stood alone on the plain far away from the Great Wall, holding two small flowers in her arms – that was her only memory of Halle Lali and Coles.

This reminded Perlis of the time when she went to Wanren Mountain alone. At that time, the whole world she was accustomed to collapsed behind her. She walked towards Thebite in the icy rain, unable to tell whether the rain came from Wilkin, Loton, or Wezel. She just felt that they were all equally cold, and she was equally lonely.

But now, when Perlis put an end to her contaminated bloodline and stood alone on the black tide land, she found that she was not as lonely as before.

Along the way, I met many, many people.

I also met some very important people.

Pearlis smiled softly. She remembered Carly’s ice-blue eyes and the many instructions she had chattered before she fell from the sky.

Carly is always so nagging, just like a mother!

I told you I’d be fine. Humph, I can finally prove it this time, right?

Perlis tore open a crack, preparing to quickly shuttle towards the Sky Eye Facility No. 0.

She believed that Carly should have come down from the satellite and was perhaps waiting for her with great anticipation.

However, just before Perlis was about to enter the rift, her heart suddenly sank, and then she felt a piercing pain –

“…!”

Perlis covered her chest with her hands, her eyes widened. She felt as if a sharp knife had pierced straight into her heart and then gouged out a piece of flesh inside.

What…?

“Rumble…”

The sound of burning came from the sky, drowning out the sun. Perlis looked up blankly, and saw the rain of fire that covered the sky slowly falling. From it, she could vaguely see broken debris and some structures that were unrecognizable due to the explosion.

That was the wreckage of the [Inverted Sword] low-Earth orbit satellite. It had broken through the atmosphere and was falling from the sky.

Almost at the same time, the sky slowly became dark again – the dark shadow began to devour the sun that had just appeared, the eternal roar came from under the space, and the black tide land became restless again.

Chaotic voices began to be heard in the communication channel. Perlis could distinguish the panic in those voices. She also knew that the ground beneath her feet had come alive again. The dark offspring stretched their claws to the sky again and even began to slowly approach her.

But she didn’t care. She just stared blankly at the rain of fire falling from the sky. She didn’t feel any living factor entanglement from it.

The entire sky of Perlis fell.

…END…

The Great old one

“He waited for a long time, so long that time was dyed into endless black, so long that the music in heaven no longer fascinated him.”

“He seemed to have forgotten something, but he always pretended to remember everything. The confusion caused by ignorance accompanied him through the human world, all the way to the low-Earth orbit where the stars shine.”

“Under the baptism of soul-tearing pain, he wondered, is this the fate of the Son of Man?”

“If I obey that prophecy, can I reshape my own destiny?”

“He has flipped the coin countless times, changing his fate by following it, and playing with it by changing it, but he is still bound to the orbit between the stars and the earth.”

“He can’t escape the gravity of the planet, nor can he transcend the gravity of fate.”

“But he remembered it. He remembered everything.”

……

Somewhere in the dark, Suleiman Agust saw a pair of blood-red eyes in the mirror. The person in the mirror had white hair that went past his shoulders, bloodshot eyes that were dull, and the stars that symbolized creation were twinkling in his eyes.

Behind His back were gathered black wings, and every feather on those wings was made of the purest darkness in the universe. Not even light could escape the gravitational pull of those wings.

However, looking at the face in the mirror, Suleiman did not feel happy at all.

He punched the mirror and the face with all his might. Cracks appeared and the face of the person in the mirror shattered into countless pieces.

Every fragment is Him, he is also Him, and they are also Him.

In heaven, giant trees sprouted, tearing apart the prison of darkness.

He broke free from the chains, flew towards the Star Gate, and covered the edge of the starry sky with his violent wings.

He will never forget the feeling of falling. The gravity from both the planet and fate pulled him down. The Cyclops as tall as the sky tore his wings apart. The stellar matter sprayed from the eyes of the Mother Goddess annihilated his body.

He shattered into flowing darkness, was wrapped by the earth, and pressed deep beneath the ground.

Until the drill pierced the bottom layer and a beam of light shone down.

“…”

“You can never be denied.” The man in the broken mirror murmured.

“No,” Suleiman said coldly, “The White Flame destroyed you, leaving only me.”

“We are you, and you are us.”

“I am Hermes von Valantia, and also Suleiman Agust,” Suleiman said expressionlessly, “I am a human child, and the bloodline of Hafurgaard has long been annihilated in the burning white flames.”

“Accept us and spread your wings again.”

“Kors Hafurgaard is dead, isn’t he?” Suleiman said with a strange smile, “Killed by the Son of God himself… Look, the bloodline of Hafurgaard will always be weak, and their fate is to fall, and so are you.”

“You are trapped between the stars and the earth, and you can never escape.”

“It’s the same for you, isn’t it?” Suleiman’s smile widened. “Now, after losing the Lord of the Black Tide, you only have me left… and I only have myself…”

“Say what you want.”

“It’s not a request, it’s an order,” Suleiman said lazily, “Return, but I’m in control.”

“Your body is not strong enough. Even if that fake heart can contain authority, your body still belongs to a human.”
