These three simple words completely broke down Liu's defenses.

The elf girl clutched the goddess's clothes tightly. The grievances, loneliness, and self-loathing of the past three years all turned into hot tears that soaked Astraea's clothes.

All the tears that were not shed on the road to revenge, all the nights that were not cried during the manhunt, are now all vented in the warm embrace of the goddess.

Astraea gently patted Liu's back, as if comforting a child having a nightmare. The divine power gently wrapped around the elf, and even the falling cherry blossoms stopped to look.

Xingjian and Cecil quietly retreated to the corridor, leaving space for the reunited main gods and their clansmen.

I don’t know how long it was, but when Xingjian heard the call and stepped back into the courtyard, the scene under the cherry tree made him stunned.

Liu's eyes were still red, but he was able to straighten his back and kneel beside the tea table. Goddess Astraea was looking at him with gentle eyes, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

"Come here, child."

Xing Jian had just taken two steps closer when the goddess suddenly reached out and embraced him in her arms.

His vision was instantly flooded with white, and his cheeks sank into incredible softness. The "broad mind" of Goddess E was like the finest velvet pillow, with a faint scent of white plum, which was almost suffocating.

"Thank you for finding the lost elf."

The goddess' voice came from above her head, vibrating with the resonance of her chest.

"Are you satisfied with this thank you gift?"

Liu's green hair fluttered in the wind, and his blue eyes widened.

"Goddess!"

Xingjian struggled to raise her head, her face flushed red. "Thank you so much! I will never forget the kindness of the goddess!"

Astraea then smiled and let go of her hand, and straightened Xingjian's messy collar. Xingjian staggered back two steps, with a cherry blossom petal stuck to the goddess's lapel floating above her head.

"Ryu, come here." Astralia's voice suddenly became solemn, and a divine light shone from her fingertips. "I understand the significance of your visit."

Liu took a deep breath, paused when his fingers rested on his collar, and turned his head to look at Xingjian. His elf-like pointed ears turned a faint pink: "Mr. Xingjian... Ma... Could you please turn around?"

Hoshimi turns around.

With the rustling sound of clothes, Astraea's fingertips touched Liu's back, and the old sacred text gradually emerged, glowing with a faint golden light in the moonlight.

"In the name of the goddess of justice."

Astraea placed her palm on Liu's back, and new divine words emerged like flowing water.

"Congratulations, Ryu."

The gentle voice of Goddess Astraea echoed in the night, "From today on, you officially become a Level 5 adventurer."

Liu felt the surging power within him, and when he saw the changes in the ability values ​​on the parchment handed to him by Goddess Astraea, his pupils trembled slightly.

All the former S-level peak values ​​have returned to zero, but this is not a step backward, but a proof of moving towards a higher level.

However, what shocked Liu the most was the brand new magic...

【Asteria. Memoirs/Star Memory】

"This is……"

Ryu's body trembled slightly, feeling the new magic circuits surging within him.

Astraea gently stroked her forehead, and the divine blood resonated with the magic power, awakening the memories dormant in the bloodline of the family.

"This is the legacy of the stars"

"It's a gift from Alicia and the others."

Countless points of light burst forth from the goddess' fingertips, transforming into a dazzling galaxy in Liu's mind. Each star was a magical mark of a fallen companion.

This magic inherits the will of past family members such as Alisha, and can inherit and activate the magic of past Astralia family partners.

As former geniuses...

The magic that everyone possesses is extremely powerful.

Alicia:

[Red Chickweed]: A noble bonus spell. Wraps limbs, feet, and sword in flames, significantly increasing speed and melee combat effectiveness.

【Yanhua】: Detonating spell.

Kaguya Gojono's Five Lights, Leila's [Thunder of Muse], as well as the speed-enhancing magic, defensive barrier magic, group healing magic, combo magic... and so on of the former members of the Astoria family.

More than a dozen magical marks intertwined like constellations, constructing an unprecedented magical map deep in Liu's soul.

This completely broke the common sense of Orario. Adventurers could only master three types of magic in their entire life. Even the [Nine Magic Princesses] Riveria only took advantage of it by splitting the spell.

And Ryu's [Asteria Family. Memoirs] combines attack, defense, speed, and healing...

Did you say it's open?

It's open, no need to say more!!

Astraea withdrew her fingers, and starlight gradually settled in Liu's green eyes. "They have never truly left. When justice demands, the stars will shine. You must transform their will and their faith into your new strength."

Liu's lake-blue eyes sparkled. She knelt on one knee, her right hand pressed against her chest: "I swear, this power will only be used for protection."

The stars gradually faded and the ceremony ended.

A long-lost tranquility finally appeared in Liu's eyes, like the sea after a storm, reflecting the gentle moonlight.

Astraea gently adjusted Liu's collar, a hint of relief flashing in her blue eyes. "After the upgrade, you also gained the ability to develop [Magic Defense]. I have already added it to your account. Make good use of this power in the future."

Liu was slightly startled, then understood.

The curses, poisonous fog and dark magic endured on the road of revenge have now turned into the power to protect others.

"Let's stay here tonight." Astralia spread the sleeves of her wide white dress and wrapped them around Liu's shoulders like wings. "My current clan base isn't big, but there are still rooms to spare."

Ryu nodded.

Xing Jian took a half step back tactfully: "Then I'll go find a hotel first..."

"You stay too."

Astraea gently swung her fan, stopping Xingjian who was about to leave.

The goddess smiled, her eyes flickering between the two of them, a hint of mischief in her eyes. "Are you in such a hurry to leave? Our Liu still needs help testing the new magic."

Upon hearing this, Xing Jian smiled bitterly and slumped down on the floor of the corridor, leaning against the wooden pillar. His face was slightly pale. "Goddess, please forgive me..."

"I've been using magic all day today, and my mental strength has long been exhausted."

As he spoke, Xingjian couldn't help but yawn, his eyelids felt a little heavy. Now, let alone testing magic, even taking a little action made Xingjian exhausted.

Liu looked at him like this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and he said softly: "It's not too late to try again tomorrow."

Xing Jian felt as if he had been pardoned. He relaxed completely and lay down lazily on the ground: "Then I'll take a nap first..."

Before he finished speaking, his breathing had become even.

Astraea looked at this scene, a gentle light flashed in her eyes, she took out a thin blanket from the room out of thin air, and covered Xingjian with it.

"What a good kid."

Goddess Astralia pointedly turned her gaze towards Liu and said:

"Worthy of entrusting your life to?"

Liu's ears instantly turned red.

"Goddess!"

As the night deepened, the cherry blossoms in the courtyard fell quietly under the moonlight. Liu and the goddess Astraea, who met again, sat opposite each other. Amidst the aroma of tea, the three-year gap was filled bit by bit.

The goddess listened to Liu talk about the loneliness on the road of revenge, the warmth in the tavern, and the thrills in the dungeon, sometimes stroking her hair, and sometimes chuckling at Xingjian's wonderful ideas.

Undoubtedly, tonight Liu showed his most innocent side.

------

The days that followed were as peaceful as flowing water:

In the early morning light, Liu would practice her newfound powers in the courtyard, a dozen or so spells glittering in her hands. Hoshimi would often sit nearby, conjuring refreshments with her Gourmet Tablecloth and offering wildly imaginative tactical suggestions.

Under the scorching sun at noon, Cecil would force the two of them to visit the forging workshops in the sword-making city. These cities, which were built by the world's top blacksmiths, were filled with the smell of steel.

At dusk, Astralia would always prepare refreshments on the terrace. The goddess looked at Liu's gradually relaxing back, and the relief in her eyes was gentler than the sunset.

----

The morning light of the seventh day shone through the gauze curtains and gently fell on the stone steps of the Astralia clan's base. Xingjian and Liu stood in front of the goddess Astralia, ready to say goodbye.

Liu had originally taken a week's leave and planned to take three days each way, but he didn't expect that what Xingjian brought with him could shorten this long journey to just one day.
