Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

Urged on by the children, they all arrived at the lawn of the manor ten minutes later, accompanied by butler Kyle, Kelly, and a dozen or so intelligent robots they had brought along to help.

"Mommy, can we watch the fireworks now?"

"Mommy, we're on the lawn, but we didn't see any fireworks!"

Little Carp Baby cutely raised her little arms and stretched out her pink little hands to cover her eyes, saying sweetly, "Do I have to cover my eyes to see the surprise Mommy prepared?"

Little Qibao grabbed his father Mo Junlin's hand: "Daddy, let's find a surprise together."

Mo Li was completely charmed by her little ones' series of actions. For a moment, she felt a "thud" as if something had struck her heart.

She looked tenderly at the children and beckoned to them: "Come here, little ones, Mommy is going to show you a surprise."

The cubs quickly came to her side, their obsidian-like eyes wide with curiosity, their raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttering playfully, their little heads tilted up as they looked at Mo Li.

"Mommy, the babies are ready!"

"Hehe, get ready for a surprise!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, the little one can't wait!"

"Mommy, the baby didn't blink."

"Mommy, baby doesn't do it every time."

Mo Li smiled gently, "Okay, little ones, watch carefully, don't blink this time." As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it lightly.

The next moment, all sorts of fireworks appeared on the previously empty lawn in front of them, large and small, in various shapes...

"Wow, wow, Mommy is so amazing! Can you go get it now, baby?"

"Mommy, can I have one of these?"

"Yes, yes, baby wants it, please, Mommy."

"Daddy, Daddy, come quick! Mommy's surprised! We need to help, it's too heavy to move."

"Quick, quick, I can't wait any longer, I need Daddy's help."

Mo Li pointed to the area she had specially set aside for the children: "These are for the children to play with. The ones over there are too dangerous. Let the robots and dads set them off." Then, she patiently explained to the children that the fireworks would make a loud noise when they exploded, and there were other things too... Finally, she gently patted their little heads: "Children, you can't run around. You have to stay with Mommy and Daddy so we can enjoy the beautiful fireworks together."

Little Junbao: "Mommy, can we watch and play at the same time?"

Little Carp: "Will it be dangerous? Little Carp is afraid of pain."

Mo Li picked up a sparkler and lit it in front of the children. The sparkler emitted a dazzling light, and she said softly, "You see, it's not dangerous. Mommy will keep it with you. Don't worry. Let's play together from now on, okay?"

"Your dad and the robot butler are all ready. Let's start the countdown now, and then we'll see some beautiful and dazzling fireworks!"

"well."

"Baby wants to countdown with Mommy."

"Yay! We'll be watching some beautiful fireworks soon!"

Sometimes, little ones are just that amazing. They are truly full of curiosity about the unknown and beautiful things, and want to explore and appreciate them endlessly.

"4"

While counting down with the kids, Mo Li gave each of them a sparkler. When it was Ming Huang's turn, she gave her a handheld Gatling gun sparkler: "This one suits you better. I'm sure you'll like it." Ming Huang was a little surprised: "I have one too?"

“Yes, today is the New Year, so naturally we should all have a good time together as a family.” After a pause, she continued, “Tonight you are not a female war goddess, but simply yourself, the Phoenix.”

These words stunned Minghuang. Fireworks seemed to explode in her mind, even though they hadn't seen their family fireworks show yet. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she looked at Moli with a strange expression, muttering to herself, "I am just me, Minghuang."

Yes, she always wanted to move forward, to keep striving, to stand higher and higher. Along the way, she lost so much. Unexpectedly, she had unknowingly lost her true self.

When exactly did the title "Goddess of War" become her absolute synonym? And she, in order to live up to the worship and trust of all the people of the Central Empire... and to defy the title of Goddess of War, rushed to the battlefield, time and time again walking on the edge of life and death, fighting endlessly with those disgusting insectoids.

These things seemed to have become her everything: fighting, fighting... When she opened her eyes, it was an endless battle, and the murderous aura around her grew heavier and heavier.

The final countdown number, "1," echoed in her ears. She snapped out of her gloomy mood, her lips moved, and she silently counted "1."
