I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

"……I see."

Skadi slowly lowered her sword.

"[Blood relatives]...important."

Skadi glanced at the group again, then turned back, preparing to leave.

"and many more."

Mei suddenly called out to her and gave her a series of coordinates, which made Skadi turn to look at her.

"Go ahead, the person you're looking for is there."

Mei said expressionlessly.

"They're in the painting in the safe house. If you have contact with him... or Xiwang, you should be able to go in."

"........."

Skadi withdrew her gaze, then waved her hand, and several figures were quickly "spit out" by the azure seawater.

Those were people like Thousand Calamities and Kosmo who had fought Skadi before.

"Don't let them cause trouble if you don't want to bother your [blood relatives] anymore."

Skadi left with a nonchalant remark, and then, along with the azure sea, swiftly departed.

"...Mei, the place you mentioned... seems to be where the new people are stationed, right?"

"........."

"...Is it really okay to do this?"

"Of course."

Mei's voice was calm and indifferent.

"For the sake of humanity, any sacrifice is acceptable, any price is worth paying... I believe they can also realize this."

"........."

"...Take Qianjie and the others with you. The seawater is spreading too fast...Our last piece of land is about to disappear."

Mei's voice carried a hint of weariness... After Xiwang disappeared, their enemy seemed to have become the entire planet.

The seas overflowed, the winds howled, and the rain never stopped. The climate of the entire planet became extremely bad in a short period of time, rushing headlong towards becoming "uninhabitable for humans".

Even the Fourth Divine Key cannot change this weather or correct this climate in a short period of time; it can only be repaired slowly over time.

But... fortunately, the two complementary plans, "Utopia" and "Hibernation of All Things," give them enough time to wait for the world to recover.

The interior of "Utopia" has enough space to accommodate the surviving people, while the protection of the outside world can be left to the Fusion Warriors who use "Hypnosis of All Things".

If they are lucky, they may be able to set foot on this planet again at the right time, leave their "ideal world" and live here once more.

Even if all else fails... one can still eke out a living in an "ideal world".

As for the Fusion Warriors who use "Hypnosis of All Things"... besides protecting "Utopia," they have other plans, all of which are for dealing with special situations.

Oh right, there's also the issue of Alicia... Never mind, Mei doesn't care about it, nor does she want to. With Xiwang as a cautionary tale, Mei no longer wants to think about this issue too much.

That's it. Trust her, trust Alicia... That's fine.

However, what May was more worried about now was Eden, who had not returned from the moon... She simply sent a brief message informing everyone that she was still alive and had successfully reached the moon, and then... said nothing more.

As for the "song" left behind by Xiwang, the "song" that revolves around the surface of the planet... Mei no longer wants to think about it or study it.

She no longer wanted to doubt anything, no longer wanted to question anything; she... wanted to rest.

…………

On the moon, in the newly re-established lunar base, Eden, having completed communication with the ground, stared blankly at the "core" in his hand, and finally... as if he had made up his mind.

Get up and take a step.

Standing where he disappeared, I gripped the diamond-like "core" in my hand, pressed it gently against my chest, lowered my eyelids, adjusted my breathing, and then... softly began to sing a melody.

???~

The melodious singing drifted by, and the beautiful songs echoed here.

Even if no one appreciates her, even if no one listens, she sings with all her heart.

Eden believed that if it were her, she could also do it, merging herself into the song; if it were her, she would also go to his side.

After all... they are like twin stars, relying on and illuminating each other.

If only they could be together again, if only they could sing together again, and... stay together forever.

Golden light flowed silently, and golden notes quietly emerged.

However, at this moment, the translucent "core" in Eden's hand began to glow slightly.

Behind her, a familiar accompaniment quietly came, as if someone was behind her, and she could hear that familiar harmony in her ears.

"Xi Wang?!"

Eden, realizing this instantly, stopped singing immediately without being surprised and turned around, only to see the scattered notes.

But as a result, the songs she used for "dedication" were interrupted, and her idea of "dissolving into the song" failed.

Eden was quite taken aback and puzzled. He looked back at the beautiful blue star, his gaze lingering on the "Song" that circled it for a long time.

Finally, she seemed to have thought of something.

"How selfish... wanting to monopolize this huge stage all by himself..."

Eden looked down at the crystal-clear "core" in his hand, as bright as a diamond, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Alright... then, I'll give you a little leeway."

She spoke softly, gazing intently at the azure planet as if trying to etch its beauty into her very being. Then... she turned and followed the dancing musical notes, finding the painting.

That was the painting Gretchen gave to Xiwang. Now, with the combined power of Xiwang and Gretchen, the painting has completed its intended design, possessing a "world within a painting" and becoming an "ideal land".

The lively musical notes leaped lightly across the painting before disappearing without a trace.

"Thank you for leading the way... Xiwang."

Eden thanked him softly, and then... stepped into the painting.

Inside, the flowers are still in full bloom, the stars are still shining, the musical notes are still playing, and the radiance is still flowing.

Everything was frozen in that most beautiful moment.

Except for... him.

Except for... Xiwang.

But it doesn't matter, Eden doesn't care.

Eden will wait, waiting for the opportunity to take the stage, waiting for the chance to sing with him again.

Before that, Eden was willing to wait and watch his dazzling figure.

Eden is not alone, for it is accompanied by music and songs.

Although at this moment, she and Xi Wang... were in a very delicate situation.

They were so close, as if they could touch each other at any moment, yet they were also worlds apart, unable to reach each other no matter what.

Like two stars in the sky, they look very close, but are actually very far apart.

But... Eden wasn't worried.

Because she believed that she would definitely go to his side.

Because she knew he would always be by her side.

They... were the most dazzling "twin stars" of this era!

…………

wow-

The sound of the waves echoed softly, the seawater spread silently, and the sea level rose quietly, submerging everything.

This is the ocean's revenge.

"Won't you blame me, [blood relative]?"

Skadi held the tiny, bright red "fish" in her hands and asked cautiously.

"I just... killed your favorite [humans], and destroyed the 'ideal land' you prepared for them."

"You...aren't you blaming me, [blood relative]?"

The bright red fish swam slightly.

"Why were they killed? Because they questioned their blood relatives, because they were the ones who caused their blood relatives to leave, and in the end... they were punished."

Skadi's tone was full of resentment.

Then, the bright red fish swam around twice more.

"I see... Hmm, I understand... Thank you, [blood relative]."

Skadi smiled.

"Yes, that's right... Blood relatives are important."

[The fish] gently swayed its tail fin, swam away from Skadi's hand, and then darted a few times in her wave-like white hair.

"What's wrong? [Blood relative]? Do you like my hair?"

Skadi cupped the white hair on both sides of her face.

"Is it pretty? It's so soft, isn't it? Just like [Blood Ties], and in this respect, I'm just as confident as [Blood Ties], you know?"

"Sure~ If it's a blood relative, then anything is fine~"

"Hmm? You don't like my clothes? These were arranged by [Mother]..."

"Girls are more suited to wearing skirts? I'm not sure about that. I'll just do whatever my [blood relatives] say."
