However, everything must come to an end. When the shooting star disappeared and the beautiful music stopped, Bai Mo looked into the distance, facing the rising sun, and could see the beautiful land of Liyue.

Looking at the world, her eyes were filled with longing and a yearning for the unknown. But at the same time, she was also somewhat confused.

"You say this world is so beautiful, so vast, so warm. But why don't people want to take a good look at it?"

Bai Mo suddenly asked a question. Wu Qiu couldn't answer it, and felt a deep bitterness in his heart.

For Wu Qiu and his companions, traveling was fraught with inconvenience and hardship. But for Bai Mo, it was a dream come true.

"Don't worry, when you embark on your journey one day, you will also be able to leave behind your own beautiful memories. The future is bright. As long as you work hard, you will eventually reach the end of your journey and leave your own mark."

"Anything is possible in the future. Maybe people will accept you, and you can go wherever you want."

Wu Qiu offered words of comfort. Bai Mo turned to look at him, a gentle smile appearing in the morning sunlight, and said, "Thank you."

"I'm really happy today. Thank you for being here with me. Thank you."

Wu Qiu shook his head, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Bai Mo's body tremble, followed by a slight contraction in her pupils.

"what happened?"

Ying sensed something was wrong and stepped forward. Bai Mo, however, gave a forced smile and said, "It's nothing, I have some things to take care of, please wait a moment."

She turned and left. Wu Qiu and the others wanted to call her back, but they saw that she was in a hurry.

"No, her breathing is erratic, something's wrong."

Cang Yu was the first to react and wanted to chase after him, but as soon as he got up, he saw Bai Mo suddenly vomit a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh!" and at the same time kneel down and cough violently.

"Bai Mo!"

Wu Qiu and Ying strode forward. Cang Yu was even faster, arriving in front of him in a flash, only to see Bai Mo's body trembling slightly, his entire body curled up on the ground, his face pale and constantly convulsing.

Bai Mo appeared to be in great pain. Upon seeing this, Wu Qiu immediately went to heal her using the power of his Transformation Eye, but the power was pushed back out by a force as soon as it entered.

"What's going on? Why isn't it working? Why isn't the power of the Eye of Transformation working?"

Wu Qiu was incredulous, because the power of the Eye of Transformation had failed the first time.

Seeing Bai Mo in unbearable pain, Wu Qiu tried again and again, but it was no use, no use, still no use. The power of the Eye of Transformation was completely useless.

"hateful!"

Wu Qiu slammed his fist into the ground. Beside him, Ying held Bai Mo in her arms.

Feeling the girl's body convulsing, Ying was on the verge of tears. She truly felt sorry for the girl, but now that even Wu Qiu's Eye of Transformation was useless, what could they do?

Just then, Bai Mo, whose face was pale, seemed to feel a little better. Trembling, he reached out and grasped Ying's hand, whispering, "It's alright, don't worry, it'll be fine in a bit. I'm... okay..."

With Ying's help, she sat up cross-legged, surrounded by blue wind. Clearly, she was suppressing her body to recover as quickly as possible.

"What exactly happened?"

Feng Shan Jueyun asked, puzzled. Paimon followed up, "Could they be sick? Should we go see a doctor?"

Cang Yu shook his head. "You're not sick, and you're not injured. What's wrong?"

Wu Qiu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and his eyes flickered as he said, "Perhaps, I know."

"Zhongli once said that during the War of Kanria, she had health problems, which led to her defeat, defeat by the will of Heaven."

"But that was only the time Zhongli knew, or perhaps the time Zhongli knew about her health problems. So, what if her health problems actually started much earlier, and she also realized she didn't have long to live…"

Wu Qiu paused at this point. Feng Shan Jueyun, finally realizing the reason, spoke up: "In other words, her body is already experiencing problems. There's only a little over a year left until the Kanria War, which means she will die in a little over a year, even without the battle against Tianli."

Wu Qiu nodded in silence. Ying looked at Bai Mo, and after a long while, she spoke with difficulty: "She knew she didn't have much time left, so she secretly ran down the mountain, so she planned to travel in the future, so... she wanted to see this world properly in the last moments of her life, to see this world she longed for, but which didn't welcome her..."

"Go, embark on a journey destined to fail..."

Everyone fell silent. Wu Qiu found it all ridiculous. They were still talking to Bai Mo, talking about so many things, about the world, how big the world is, how wonderful the world is.

Wu Qiu even went so far as to tell her, "Your journey has begun, and you can reach its end. You can go wherever you want to go. People will be willing to accept you in the future, and the future will be bright. As long as you work hard, everything will be alright..."

"hehe."

Wu Qiu laughed; he found it really funny.

"Effort? Future? What's the use? What's the point of saying all that? I've painted a beautiful future for her, but she already has no future."

In this somber atmosphere, two figures appeared.

"Hehehe...Finally found you. Kill you all and go back to report."

Those were two demon gods, two level 83 demon gods, most likely sent by the demons to ambush them. The aura emanating from these two demon gods was terrifying, but it only spread within this area and did not attract the attention of others.

Wu Qiu and his friends were already in a bad mood when these two guys suddenly came to cause trouble, so everyone was looking at them with murderous eyes.

"Holy crap, something feels off."

The two demon gods instantly sensed something was wrong. Cang Yu, however, stood up, glaring at them through gritted teeth, "I'm really angry right now! Are you looking for death?!"

"Hmph! You hold her off, I'll go kill the others."

One of the demon gods spoke. Then, their auras grew stronger, clearly indicating that they were confident they could kill Wu Qiu and his companions.

But at that moment, Bai Mo's voice rang out.

"Wait a moment."

Just as a fight was about to break out, Bai Mo's weak voice brought the battle to a halt. She slowly stood up, then looked at Ying, whose face was pale, and said, "You can use the same power as me, right?"

Ying nodded and then said, "You should rest for a bit. We'll take care of these people. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Bai Mo shook his head, then met Ying's eyes, and then heard Bai Mo's weak voice in Ying's ear.

"Initiate the inheritance of swordsmanship."

Under Ying's surprised gaze, Bai Mo smiled and said, "Then, consider this my gift to you."

After saying that, she turned around and slowly walked towards the two demon gods.

“Sickly girl, so weak yet you dare to come up here, kill her.”

As they spoke, one of the demon gods gathered his power to kill Bai Mo. But in the next instant, everyone was stunned.

The two demon gods stared wide-eyed, while Wu Qiu and the others looked on in astonishment. Even Cang Yu was somewhat terrified as she stared at what was before her.

Unbeknownst to her, Bai Mo had already appeared behind the two demon gods. The sword on her back had already been drawn, but she was now slowly sheathing it.

At the same time, with a soft, not-so-loud sound as the sword was fully sheathed, the two demon gods didn't even scream; they simply vanished from the spot, dead.

Wu Qiu stared wide-eyed at what was in front of him.

White ink

42 level

That's right, 42. She was only level 42. No matter how many times Wu Qiu looked at it, she was still only level 42. But even at level 42, she instantly killed two level 83 demon gods.

Yes, this is her, this is her strength, this is Bai Mo...

Chapter 473: Companionship

With a single move—or more accurately, a single sword strike—Bai Mo killed two level 83 demon gods. Yet, she herself was only level 42.

Looking at Bai Mo, who had sheathed her longsword and was somewhat unsteady on her feet, it was clear she was very weak and could barely stand. But she didn't collapse; instead, she turned her back to the crowd and looked up at the sky.

Ying stared at her blankly. In that instant, all of Bai Mo's sword intent appeared in her mind, causing her swordsmanship, which had been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time, to be completely resolved in an instant.

She didn't know what was going on, but when she came to her senses and looked at Bai Mo, she found that Bai Mo had turned around and was looking at everyone, with a smile still on her pale face. At the same time, she took out the dried-out meat pie and took a bite.

"The meat pie was delicious, thank you... This is my thank-you gift..."

Wu Qiu looked at Bai Mo in disbelief and said, "I don't know. You're so strong, why did you leave? Why didn't you leave this world sooner? You should know that if you wanted to leave, no one could stop you."

Bai Mo shook his head, looking at the sky and whispering, "I don't know. Maybe I'm running away from something. But what am I running away from? All the heavens and myriad realms, all the races, I don't know what I should do, what I should do. Maybe, just dying quietly like this, without making a sound, without anyone noticing, is the best thing."

"But……"

She gave a bitter smile as she spoke, "But I can't do it. I also have things I want. So, in the end, I still did it, even though it's selfish."

No one understood what she was saying; perhaps even she herself was just going by gut feeling and didn't quite grasp it. But Wu Qiu understood, and understood it very well.

Whether it's the first story told by the system or the second one told by Kong later, these two stories may be different, but they both revolve around one thing: Bai Mo's divine fragments.

That might be the origin of everything. As long as it appears, all races and demons will fight over it, resulting in countless deaths. Even if it only affects the mortal realm, the number of deaths is calculated based on the number of living beings in an entire world.

Perhaps, even in death, Bai Mo was aware of this, so if her divine fragments came to life and took human form, they would subconsciously hide away.

They would die little by little, without attracting anyone's attention, because only in this way could they avoid fighting and prevent anyone from dying.

But, just as Bai Mo said at the end, she also has things she likes, she can be selfish, she will do things for herself, and she will feel wronged because of loneliness.

Therefore, she felt very selfish because she would kill many people. So she never thought of going out, until now, when her life was coming to an end, she finally chose to be selfish for herself this once.

Shaking his head, Wu Qiu looked at Bai Mo and said solemnly, "Don't worry, it won't happen, at least not to you here. Go, go on a trip, go to the places you want to go, do everything you like."

"If you trust me, Bai Mo, don't hold back and enjoy your life."

Wu Qiu knew very well that the system and the demon were now vying for that very important main fragment. The one in front of her was probably just an ordinary fragment. Although it was still important, she would never let the system and the demon interfere with her now. After all, if she got the main fragment, the other fragments wouldn't be able to escape either.

"Thank you, I will."

With a slight smile, Bai Mo looked at the rising sun and finally asked, "Are you leaving...?"

When Wu Qiu and the others realized that it was almost time, they all took a reluctant look at Bai Mo.

Bai Mo knew it was time, so he said, "Thank you for being with me. It's so good to have met you and become your friends."

With a wry smile, Wu Qiu looked at her and said softly, "Goodbye."

As he spoke, the jade pendant in Wu Qiu's hand began to glow, eventually lifting them up little by little. A crack appeared in the sky; if they went through it, they could travel to three thousand years in the future.

As they were about to enter the crevice, Wu Qiu shouted to Bai Mo one last time, "Sister Bai! No matter what happens in the future, you will always be the person I admire most! Goodbye, and if possible, I really want to see you again in the future."

After saying this, they all entered the crevice and left the place. Below, watching all this, Bai Mo still had a smile on her lips, but just as they all disappeared, she finally couldn't hold back anymore, her voice trembling as she spoke: "If only I could live to see that day..."

Inside the rift, the group wasn't in a particularly good mood either. After all, they all knew that Bai Mo would die, and that he would definitely die in the future.

She shouldn't have died. But the world is just that unfair; it was like that before, and it will be like that in the future.

They floated along the crack for a long time, until finally, when they all emerged from the crack, they saw the world below.

It's still Liyue, but it's much smaller. The houses are much smaller and much simpler. Compared to the later bustling Liyue, it's really like a village, which isn't surprising.

"Is this what it was like three thousand years ago? It's completely beyond our imagination."

Ying couldn't help but speak up. Cang Yu then said, "Yes, that's right, this must be three thousand years ago. I remember it very clearly, there's no mistake."
