Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

Well, as long as they're happy, it's fine if they stay a little longer. At least Xing can distinguish between good and bad people, but March 7th is different.

My brain might be a little slow to process this.

However, this time, the protagonist wasn't him, but Xing.

Helpless, Chen Jie had no choice but to follow Xing and examine every single afterimage.

"So that's how Cocolia was bewitched by the Star Core, and so were Sylva and Bronya. It turns out she had expressed her incomprehension to Cocolia a long time ago, hoping she would change."

Seeing this, the two continued forward. This time, there were no afterimages, but instead, a little kid appeared out of nowhere with his back to them.

Seeing the child with his back turned, Chen Jie was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm? The scent of preservation... is it the will of the first city builders? Or perhaps, the first Great Guardian?"

"This city is crying out; the forces that protect it are fading."

"The protective power is fading?" Upon hearing this, Xing blinked and turned to look at Chen Jie beside her.

However, Chen Jie merely shook his head slightly, offering no explanation, but instead analyzing what the other party had said.

The voice was a clear, cool female voice, free of any extraneous noise, which made Chen Jie even more convinced that the other person might be the first generation of the Great Guardian.

In the end, we were still unable to resist the will of the star core.

Instantly, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, waiting for the other party to continue.

Xingjian Chenjie was somewhat angry, but said nothing, so she stepped forward.

Cocolia has relinquished [Preservation].

"That's right, we have no right to blame them."

This time, Chen Jie spoke.

"No right to criticize? What a fine 'no right to criticize' statement!"

"Her decision to forgo custody is her personal matter. What does it have to do with the people of Belleburg? She wants to die, so why should she drag everyone in Belleburg down with her!"

"Everyone in Belleburg is working hard for a better tomorrow, and they are always praying for the day when the cold wave ends!"

"What right does she have to decide the fate of others, whether they live or die! How dare she deny everything the people of Belleburg have sacrificed! Everything they have done with blood and sweat!"

"You have no right to criticize without considering the consequences? Your words contradict the [protection] principle!"

At that moment, the sound stopped. Xing stared in astonishment at Chen Jie's furious face; it was the first time she had ever seen him so angry.

After a long while, the sound came again.

"This is because what we leave to our successors is neither faith nor wealth, but only boundless despair."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie sneered and strode forward, kicking the figure away.

The scene unfolded so quickly that even Xing was stunned.

"Choosing the wrong person is a mistake! It's one thing to make mistakes due to a lack of willpower, but to still be trying to absolve her of guilt now!"

"Alissa Rand, Cocolia really does imitate you perfectly, huh?"

P.S.: Some people might find this slightly inappropriate, so I'll briefly explain Cocolia's behavior.

You all wanted to survive and fought desperately for it, but Cocolia gave up after a single expedition to the Star Core, making her declaration of succession seem utterly ridiculous.

She thinks there's something wrong with the world, that is, it's trying to kill all of you who want to live. Put yourself in her shoes, how would you feel in that situation?

To put it more simply, a person, due to various reasons, loses his spirit and begins to take revenge on society. However, how innocent are those positive and motivated people who are killed by him?

Is Cocolia's behavior any different from this example?

Chapter 59 Flame Spear

"Alisa Rand? Who is she? Is she the one who just spoke?"

Seeing that Chen Jie was angry, Xing's expression also became serious.

Between the voice she just heard and Dust Calamity, if she had to choose whom to believe, she would undoubtedly choose Dust Calamity.

"Yes, the first High Warden of Beloborg, and also the name of that flaming spear."

"Star, go and pull out that Flame Spear. Well, that's not important. It's something the Amber King wants to give you."

Hearing this, Xing was confused: "Why would the Amber King choose me? Dust Tribulation, you've been seen by Him twice, you should know that, right?"

Faced with this question, Dust Calamity paused for a few seconds: "You are an outsider, yet you are willing to sacrifice your life for the future of Beloborg. This is the kind of 'protection' that the Amber King appreciates."

"The [protection] that the Amber King likes?"

Xing was a little confused. Didn't March 7th mean that "exploration" meant doing good deeds without expecting anything in return?

Why would the King of Amber "like" him?

"Cocolia was seduced by the Star Core after only one personal expedition; such willpower and resolve..."

"Star, in this situation, do you really think the Amber King will keep an eye on this planet? They've cut off their own escape route."

"Cocolia's behavior is a defilement and denial of the Silvermane Guards and everyone else."

Shaking his head, Chen Jie shared his personal opinion, admitting that he had never truly understood it.

Someone comes to invade your home with a bunch of expendable troops, and you know they were brought by someone else, but you still wag your tail and beg for mercy.

This is something that dust and tribulations cannot understand or accept.

All he could understand was the determination to shed the last drop of blood for their homeland and to never allow any foreign invaders to set foot on it.

Instead of groveling before the abusers, they ultimately agree to their suggestions and assimilate into their group.

The figure who had been kicked far away listened silently to what Chen Jie said, speechless.

Xing nodded, seemingly understanding, "I think I understand a little bit."

Xing slowly walked up to the Flame Spear, reached out and grasped it.

In an instant, the entire Narrow Passage began to tremble, accompanied by Xing's roar and the flaming spear being slowly pulled out, the tremors growing increasingly intense.

With a burst of fire, that familiar, tall figure reappeared.

This time, He merely glanced at the dust and calamity before turning his gaze to the stars.

In reality, Star, wielding the Flame Spear, landed peacefully in the palm of the Creation Engine. Dust Tribulation's consciousness returned, looking at Star with a hint of helplessness.

"I still don't understand why I'm being dragged into this."

The faceless Mother of Illusion cried out in disbelief, "This is impossible!"

At this moment, she lost control of the creation engine and witnessed [Preservation] reappear, which greatly damaged her beliefs.

The group of people who rushed over saw Xing turn around and smile at them, and their negative emotions vanished in that instant.

On March 7th, she even struck a pose, saying, "We knew Xing wouldn't get into trouble so easily!"

Star, wielding a flaming spear, slowly pointed it at the Mother of Illusion.

"[Preservation] has made its choice!"

"Cocolia Rand, you need to pay the price for your selfishness and folly!"

Chen Jie, who was sitting at the back, ready to watch the show and pass the time, was somewhat stunned at this moment.

He doesn't recall teaching Xing any of these things, like applying knowledge to new situations? That shouldn't be the case, right? Is Xing that smart?

The Mother of Delusion was stunned, and immediately began to retort: ​​"It is you who are foolish!"

"You know nothing about this world, and you know nothing about its end!"

Bronya looked at the monster before her, her eyes filled with only determination and resolve.

Even if it's true, we will walk side by side into the darkness to face death!

"Instead of doing what you did, denying all of Belloberg's efforts throughout history and defaming the Silvermane Iron Guard!"

Witnessing Bronya's words, Dust Tribulation nodded in agreement.

"She could make a good leader."

"Hopefully, she won't become like the first Grand Guardian, or her mother, who treated the position as a mere privilege."

Under the watchful gaze of the dust and calamity, the Mother of Illusion, while dodging the attacks of the crowd, was suddenly struck by a punch from the Creation Engine, sending her flying.

Xing's eyes narrowed, and she assumed a charging stance, the flames swirling around her flaming spear burning to their fullest extent.

"Flame Spear, charge!"

The flames burned away the accumulated snow, and the blazing spear pierced the chest of the Mother of Illusion.

The flames, like maggots clinging to bone, instantly climbed all over the Mother of Illusion. Star blinked, seemingly not understanding what was happening.

The next second, the flames exploded, unleashing an even more powerful surge of fire that spiraled upwards like a tornado.

Startled, Xing hurriedly gripped her Flame Spear and retreated, her gaze slightly dazed as she stared at the Mother of Illusion, who was howling in agony within the fire tornado.

Then he looked down, staring in astonishment at the flaming spear in his hand.

"Does...do they still have this ability?"

As Xing turned around, everyone looked at her with astonishment.

Suddenly, the screams of pain within the fire tornado began to weaken and started to expand, looking as if it might explode at any moment.

"Get out of the way!"

Amid screams and panicked scrambling, the fire tornado suddenly exploded, engulfing everything in its path in a raging inferno.

March 7th quickly cast a shield around everyone's eyes and hands.

The snow evaporated completely in an instant, and the surrounding world transformed.

March 7th, having gotten up from the ground, quickly checked on everyone's condition.

"Are you all alright? You seem to be okay, that's good."

"Wait a minute, Cocolia... why has she turned into a giant ice block again? We heard her screams and we thought she was going to die!"

March 7th blinked in shock, then immediately stood up, drew his bow, and shot.
