Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

"So you are here..." Above the Pinocchio Theater, a man slowly walked out from the shadows, walked slowly to a masked girl and sat down together.

"At least in the Pinoconi area, it shouldn't be difficult to search for me, right?" Chu Qing said calmly, looking at the bustling crowd in the distance.

Some people in the crowd are shouting about the superiority of their products, while others are spending money like water in the hope that they can get everything they want without restraint in this beautiful dream.

"You seem to have caused trouble for that fool." Huang Quan said.

"Well, I don't like her self-righteous style, which always thinks she sees through everything. I also don't like her attitude of treating people as puppets on the stage and manipulating them unscrupulously." Chu Qing said.

"I thought there would be some deeper reason."

"Maybe... But it's been so long, I may have forgotten the deeper reason. I just wanted to do it. Why? Are you looking for me to help you do it?"

"There's no rush. The dream has just been shattered by me, and that group of people have just fallen into the 'Land of Exile'. Everything now is the same as in the last dream, and no changes have occurred yet." Huang Quan said.

Chu Qing nodded without saying anything further.

Maybe she is not a taciturn person by nature, but everything that happened in the past has made her what she is today. Perhaps when she has some free time to relax, she can catch a glimpse of her hard-earned nature.

The Fourth Abundance War...is coming soon...everything...is the same...

At least, it's still the same now...

"A traitor from the Immortal Boat - I never thought that Luofu Immortal Boat would produce such a traitor. Are you worthy of your parents?"

"I am really disappointed, General..."

"I knew from a young age that a child like this who doesn't strive for progress has absolutely no hope, but I didn't expect her to have such a bad character... Even her mother died at her hands. What a wicked child!"

"Really? Master Fu Xuan is so young, yet..."

Chu Qing tightly grasped her chest, the oppression almost made her unable to breathe. The nightmare of so many years has come back again, and it has come back again...

There is no way to defend oneself against the accusations of the masses...

"What's wrong with you?" Huang Quan looked at Chu Qing, who was suddenly trembling all over as if possessed by a demon. She had seen such emotions before - fear, resentment, and disappointment. She had already gone further and further on the path of nothingness and had long lost these emotions, but that did not prevent her from understanding them.

"Nothing... " Chu Qing let out a breath.

"Then let's not talk about this. What concerns me is that you don't seem to be affected by this dream. As far as I know, perhaps only nothingness can resist the interference from dreams." Huang Quan looked at Chu Qing.

This is what she has always cared about.

A messenger who suddenly fell into a dream showed no signs of being assimilated by the dream. Apart from nothingness, what other destiny could do this? Unless...

"Because, I'm already dead..." Chu Qing said with a faint smile.

She said the most incredible words calmly, as if it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

Yes... besides nothingness... there is only death...

Huang Quan had basically guessed it. Although she failed to see through Chu Qing's original destiny in their initial encounter, she could still see clues. Even if she didn't guess it directly on the spot like Hanabi, she could probably guess it after spending more time with him in the future.

After all, there are only eighteen known destinies in the universe. Excluding the many that have already perished, the remaining options are very small.

She knew nothingness very well, so she naturally knew that Chu Qing had not stepped into the shadow of nothingness. She still had color, although it was dim, but it would not fade with time like her, leaving only black and white, and then nothing at the end.

The Envoy of the End... is truly a very rare existence.

From this point of view, it is similar to her being the Emissary of Nothingness. Others believe that Void Star God IX cannot possibly even glance at mortals, so there is no Emissary of Nothingness.

And at the end, he travels backwards in time all his life, comes from the end, harvests all things with the will of the Last King, and finally passes away completely at the designated time.

If we say that Huang Quan is the guardian between the human world and the underworld.

Then, Chu Qing is the ferryman of the underworld, or the god of death.

If you want to see these gods of death, perhaps you will only have the chance to see them before you die. At other times, it is almost impossible.

"I have completed the targets ordered by His Majesty and harvested enough undead. Now it's my time." Chu Qing said, "Before I completely perish, that's all my time."

"How much time do you have left?" Huang Quan asked.

It is a truth that the dead cannot stay in the world forever. But as the end of life that is closest to death, it is not too surprising that there is a way for them to stay in the world and watch over us.

"It depends on the situation. I come from the End of the World and travel back in time. The more I interfere here, the closer I am to complete death and disappearance. I don't know exactly when that will come."

"We are really similar in this respect. I don't know when the day will come when I will completely fade away." Huang Quan sighed.

Everyone sees that the Messengers hold supreme power over destiny and are above all other living beings, but few notice the scars they bear from carrying the weight of destiny.

They are all moving further and further down the path to their destined death.

But at this moment they intersect.

In this vain Pinocchio dream.

"Then just take a good look at the present. At least, you can still grasp it. Can you tell me your real name? Huang Quan should not be your real name. In exchange, I will also tell you my real name." Chu Qing said with a smile.

"A name... It's so long ago that I almost forgot it... If a dead sea patrol ranger hadn't asked me about it, I wouldn't have thought about it before." Huang Quan followed Chu Qing and looked at the bustling crowd in the distance.

Those who are immersed in beautiful dreams are still living for an imperfect tomorrow.

Knowing that all this will be meaningless when you wake up, you are still willing to deceive yourself.

"You and I will both perish completely in the near future. Isn't the so-called name meaningless?" Huang Quan asked.

"Yes... But the meaning may not only exist in the future, but also in the present and perhaps in the past."

"Raiden·Wangchuanshou·Mei. This is my name, a name that even I don't know if it's correct."

"Mo Xueji, a mark that originally carried good wishes but was stained with blood."

Chu Qing took off her smiling mask and then looked into the distance silently. She had a face similar to Fu Xuan's, but more serious, less childish and more lonely.

The two of them were silent, remembering the answer that might be meaningless.
