“Don’t speak recklessly,” Marika said, somewhat annoyed. “What does Radagan have to do with me? That loyal dog of the Golden Law merely used the power of the Golden Law to forcibly influence me and then separated from my body; it has nothing to do with my own will…”

"Okay, okay, I understand. You don't need to say anymore."

Lu Ye turned her gaze back.

Although she initially resisted with the haughty attitude of a princess, she soon nestled obediently in Renara's arms. Having abandoned her rare human body and adopted a doll as her shell, she was now like a doll in Renara's arms, exceptionally well-behaved. She slowly began to chat with Renara, and even a demigod would sometimes chat about everyday things, reminiscing about past experiences and events.

Looking at Rena and Lani in their current state, I found it amusing, but I still thought it would be better to fix the laws quickly, otherwise it would be fun if this place collapsed in a little while.

Meanwhile, Lani was unaware of Lu Ye and A Tui's approach.

Seeing this, Melina and Marika withdrew from the area, leaving the rest to them.

"By the way, why haven't those two guys shown up yet?" Lani suddenly complained. "I'm getting tired of keeping this space from collapsing."

"Should I take over?" Renara said. "Without the Golden Law as a foundation, it would be easy to maintain or destroy this place. You've lost your original body, so you can't unleash your power."

"No... I want to keep up appearances for a while longer."

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, A-Tui pretended to cough a few times.

Lani jumped up like a startled little animal, peeked out from Renara's arms, and saw Lu Ye and A Tui with mischievous smiles on their faces.

"When...when did you arrive?"

Lani was stunned and even forgot to climb off Renara.

"I don't know, but it didn't start when you said, 'Mom, don't hug me so tightly,'" Lu Ye chuckled.

"You've been here since then!?" Lani was both embarrassed and angry, and was about to scold the two of them when...

“...You have brought shame upon the witch Lani.” A-Mei spoke these words on Lani’s behalf.

Lani paused.

"How about that? Was my prediction accurate?" A-Tui proudly tilted his head back at Lu Ye.

"You two..."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Getting angry will make you have more wrinkles." Renara patted Lani's head.

"But I'm a doll... no, my body is a doll..."

Lani seemed to realize that there was no point in pretending to be dignified in her current state, and she immediately wilted.

"So, what should we do next?" A-Tu asked. "How do we complete that Law of Night and Stars? The Great Rune is gone, because it was originally just a fragment of the broken Magic Ring. The Magic Ring itself had no power, and the fragments were no exception... It can only be placed at home as a decoration."

Hearing this, Lani hesitated for a moment.

Meanwhile, Renara secretly stroked Lani's ring finger, then smiled sweetly at Lu Ye. It was a beautiful smile, but for some reason, Lu Ye felt a chill and goosebumps rose on his arm.

Lani understood what her mother meant. The Dark Moon Ring was now in Lu Ye's hands. According to the rules, when she led the Borderlands toward the Age of Stars and Night, which represented freedom, someone else had to step forward and become her king...

"Ah! I understand!" A-Tui said at this moment, "The new law also needs a king!"

Seeing how well A-Mei handled things, Lani felt somewhat relieved.

But she still had some hesitation about making Lu Ye her king.

It wasn't that she had any prejudice against Lu Ye, but she just remembered her previous conversation with him.

If one truly achieves their goal of chasing the night and the stars, the creatures at the border will certainly be free, but who will bear the consequences for all of this?

Yes, just like Marika.

She brought about the Golden Law, but ultimately destroyed it as well.

Therefore, one should also assume similar responsibilities.

Lani had already realized this.

"What era are we living in? Still following traditional laws?" Lu Ye smacked A Tui on the head in annoyance. "The old guard from the previous dynasty have all been abandoned, so let's stop talking about kings."

"Huh? What do you mean?" A-Tui was a little confused.

"It means there's no need for a 'king' anymore," Lu Ye said. "Isn't this so-called Law of Night and Stars meant to allow the borderlands to develop freely, undisturbed by external forces?"

"Huh? What if it all falls apart in the end?"

"Unless there's something like an uncontrollable will interfering, if things go wrong, you can't blame anyone else, right, Lani?"

Rena was taken aback, feeling that Lu Ye's understanding of the law seemed somewhat biased...

However, just as she was about to get straight to the point and say something like "be my son-in-law," Lani cleared her throat.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it,” Lani said. “You’ve come here to witness the arrival of the Age of Stars and to fulfill our promise.”

After saying that, she stepped out of the arms of the bewildered Renara, came to Lu Ye and A Tui, walked towards Marika's broken body, picked up Marika's severed head, and gently raised it high.

"I hereby swear that all life, all souls, are about to enter the age of stars, and will follow the laws of the moon to begin a journey of a thousand years. All beings, in this age without laws, contemplate deeply. The bitter cold night will leave you, and you will step into the darkness of fear, loneliness, and bewilderment. Then, in the long process of contemplation... find your own path."

As Lani announced this, a huge full moon emerged from the darkness ahead, radiating a cold, serene light amidst the icy darkness.

"Lani... what will you do next?" A-Mei asked.

“I will leave with the law and return freedom to the creatures of the borderlands,” Lani said. “Thank you for your hard work along the way.”

Lani's law is not gold, but stars, the moon, and the night. She wants the law to be far away from this land, so that even though life and soul are always connected with the law, the law only needs to watch over them from afar.

Although the Supreme Will and the Golden Tree themselves were not benevolent, Lani learned a lesson from the Golden Laws of this Golden Age.

The whole reason for the collapse of the law is that it can be altered, touched, and destroyed.

Ideally, the best option would be to prevent the beings in the borderlands from seeing, perceiving, believing in, or touching the law, so that the law cannot be altered or affect the beings in the borderlands.

Alone, carrying the law, he begins a journey spanning a thousand years.

This also corresponds to the statement about the Dark Moon Ring that Lu Ye possesses.

"—All the loneliness beyond the darkness belongs only to me."

Rena's expression was somewhat somber.

She had long understood her daughter's thoughts and aspirations, which is why she was so excited when Lu Ye obtained the Dark Moon Ring. Because as the King of Law, he was qualified to go to the other side of the starry sky with Lani, so that Lani would not be lonely.

"So, you're going to leave the border area, right?" A-Tui asked.

“Not bad.” Lani nodded.

A-Mei stepped forward and suddenly opened his arms to silently embrace Lani.

Lani was a little surprised, but she did not refuse the hug, and her cold hands touched A-Tui's back.

A moment later, the two parted ways.

A-Mei placed a small object into Lani's hand.

Upon closer inspection, it was a doll resembling Lani, but the workmanship was rather rough, clearly handmade.

"This is something I made after consulting with Blazer and Darylwell, and I hope it can be there for you in my place."

Although A-Mei was a bit silly, she knew that traveling alone with the Laws far from the borderlands and through the vast starry sky would probably be a very lonely thing.

"Thank you," Lani smiled gently, "Although it can't compare to what I made myself, I will cherish it."

"Oh? You make your own dolls too?"

“To be precise, it’s not me, it’s the Snow Witch,” Lani said. “I made this doll body myself in the first place, and I also make some little things in my spare time.”

Later, I heard that Blazer had started some kind of club, so I changed my approach and started sharing my experience... I just didn't expect that some guy would actually do better than me, but I didn't want to oust him, so I let Blazer..."

Hey! So it turns out you were the one who kicked Darylwell out all along!

Lu Ye couldn't hold back any longer.

However, he still stepped forward and gave Lani a hug.

"Goodbye," he said softly.

"Goodbye." Lani gently rested her head on Lu Ye's shoulder.

“By the way, did you know that ‘goodbye’ also has another meaning?” Lu Ye suddenly said.

"I don't know, what is it?"

"It means we will meet again."

Afterwards, Lu Ye and A Tui left the place.

Before the throne, Lu Ye promised to come and take A-Mei and Melina home later... Of course, A-Kil and Smarag were no exception, because the two of them ultimately failed to turn back into dragons and decided to cause trouble for Lu Ye.

As for Marika... she has returned to Ame's summoning bell.

[Returning to the main world...]

After a brief farewell to everyone, Lu Ye disappeared.

A moment later, Yakiel flew away with A-Tui. After all, they were revolutionary comrades, and it wouldn't be right not to take A-Tui and Melina with him. Besides, A-Tui's skills had been getting better and better lately...

On the other side, inside the Golden Tree.

Is this okay?

“I have made up my mind, Mother. I will carry the law into the night sky alone.”

Looking at her daughter's expression, Renara didn't say anything in the end, but gently kissed Lani on the head.

"Take care, my daughter."

"You too, Mother, we will definitely meet again someday in the future."

After Renara left, Lani's figure gradually became ethereal.

She is about to take the law to the night sky.

This isn't about running away; it's about taking responsibility.

The border area is like a piece of meat. The Golden Law previously occupied it, and even if the Golden Law is kicked away, other wolves will still be eyeing it and trying to snatch it away.
