Bronya closed her eyes, as if finally making up her mind. When she opened them again, she spoke slowly, "...Mother sacrificed herself to protect Beloberg."

"While Xing and Sanyueqi were in a state of confusion, Bronya slowly walked towards the device that once imprisoned the star core."

“From the traveler who descended from outer space, she learned the secret of the Star Core. She also knew that the first Great Guardian failed to destroy the Star Core…”

“…But she still decided to challenge this power beyond human imagination. The Great Guardian Cocolia sacrificed herself to dispel the haze that enveloped Beloberg.”

"This kid really gets things right away." Ningguang exclaimed in admiration.

"From now on, this is the truth... It not only preserves the reputation of the Great Guardian, but also preserves the hope in the hearts of the people."

"But what if someone becomes suspicious?" asked the secretary beside Ningguang.

"This is the northern snowfields of Beloberg. Aside from Xing and the others, who could have come here alone? Even Jeppard couldn't do it, I'm afraid?" Ningguang said leisurely. "This lie makes perfect sense and is extremely difficult to disprove."

"But why do you have to lie?" The secretary was still puzzled.

Ningguang chuckled quietly, "Hehe... Lying is to hide the truth, but often the truth isn't important. Just like Beloberg—whether or not the Great Guardian protects the people isn't important at all; what's important is making the people believe they are protected."

"Only in this way can people's hearts stay together... only in this way can they come together and things will be easier to handle."

Ningguang fell back onto the soft golden cushions and sighed deeply, "Otherwise, rumors will spread and alarmism will spread. If we're not careful... people's hearts will be shaken."

"When the Immortal Ceremony was held, the Emperor was assassinated and suffered a tragic fate. Overnight, the people of Liyue were in a state of panic. Fortunately..."

Ningguang felt her whole body tense up when she thought of the past, but when she smelled the alluring incense in the Jade Pavilion, her tense body immediately relaxed.

Fortunately, there is that traveler, the immortals, and this... old friend under her.

Chapter 72 Yuecheng Liu: Taking the children shopping, this scene is familiar to me

"In the eyes of many, my mother was an excellent guardian... If you want to preserve the truth, then preserve the mistakes, madness, evil, and dreams in my memory. Let me bear them."

“Since I am destined to take on the role of Grand Guardian… I must abandon my naive illusions.”

Bronya looked at the girl beside her with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Seele. Please keep this secret with me... until the end of our lives."

"Of course, I know what to do." Xier nodded to her with a firm look in her eyes.

"How about it? Are you envious?"

Watching the scene on the screen, Jinx nudged Hilco beside her with her elbow and said with a smile, "Aren't you a little disappointed that you didn't see the battle between the Lower and Upper Districts that you were so excited about?"

“…Hehe, how could that be?”

Hilco turned his gaze away from the screen, stood up, and walked toward her. He wasn't tall, but his shadow instantly filled the room.

"On the contrary, Jinx... I'm quite happy with the result."

He'd spent his entire life fighting Piltover, even sacrificing the interests of Zaun's lower classes by selling shimmer. He'd be willing to consider Beloberg's current situation, but Zaun had its share of filth and violence in the lower classes, but no "outsiders" like Xing.

There is no savior for Zaun... except the people of Zaun themselves.

If you want to gain the respect of Piltover, you need to let those high-ranking guys know the power of Zaun.

The lower and upper areas of Beloberg in the light curtain finally reconciled because of a common crisis called "Star Core"; if possible, Hilco also hopes that Piltover and Zaun will also face a crisis of similar magnitude to "Star Core".

The upper city and the lower city will work together to solve the problem... Then, the respect he wants will surely come.

But what exactly that crisis was, Hilko had no idea. Was it a catastrophic disaster? A city-state eyeing Piltover and Zaun? Or perhaps a deeply dangerous individual?

...It's hard to see through, but Hilco has plenty of patience.

However, there was one thing in the light curtain that really made him envious - looking at Seele and Bronya being so affectionate and in love with each other, he did not expect that a girl from the lower district could actually influence the decision of the Great Guardian. This was simply beyond his imagination.

If there was such a person in Zaun, who could marry a Piltover council member and become a bridge of communication between the upper and lower cities, then the thing he had been thinking about would probably be much easier to accomplish.

What a pity, what a pity...

"Xing, you suddenly appeared on the battlefield just now, holding such a cool weapon in your hand... What happened? Isn't it time to tell us?" Sanyueqi asked curiously."

"This is the second time I sacrifice myself for you, Sanyue..." Xing looked at her with deep affection.

March scratched her head awkwardly. “Uh…thank you? But that doesn’t quite answer the question…”

"She herself doesn't know, right?" Dan Heng crossed his arms and said calmly, "This isn't the first time. A similar thing happened when we faced the Doomsday Beast in the space station—remember Nanook's glance?"

"There's no point in continuing to think about this. We decided to leave the star core to Walter and Jizi for now. We should focus on the matters at hand."

"Back in the lower area, a few people wanted to tell Natasha and the others about the good news of the Star Core Seal. However, after they announced the good news, Uncle Yang also sent a message to the Star Train family group chat:"

"They've successfully sealed the star core and are gradually clearing the shipping lanes. But the situation on Beloberg is far from optimistic. While the impact of the star core has largely subsided, whether it's the rift or the cold wave, it's unlikely the planet will be able to return to its former vitality a thousand years ago anytime soon."

"Their mission as pioneers has been fulfilled. At this point, all we can do is trust in the resilience and will of humanity."

"Ah, how could this happen..." Philen said with a dejected expression, "The Mingxing Star Core has been sealed, and the biggest problem has been solved."

"That's normal, Philen." Fulilian raised her hand and touched Philen's head, smiling slightly. "Look, the hero and I destroyed the Demon King decades ago, but even today, the continent is still affected by the Demon King's remnants."

"A disaster doesn't happen overnight, and its impact won't disappear overnight."

"Bronya and the others are now on the road to eliminating the influence, and we are also on the road to eliminating the influence of the Demon King." Hugh Tark said, "In a sense, we can be considered to be on the same path, right?"

"Yes, compared to Bronya and the others, we are more like Xing, Sanyueqi, Danheng and the others." Fulilian said with a smile, "They are pioneers, and we are adventurers. We are all people who explore new things... Once the matter of Beloberg is settled, I'm afraid they will also head to the new world in the universe."

"A new world?" Fearon lowered his eyes slightly, "...but I really don't want to leave Bronya and the others."

-

"Everyone decided to wait for the right time to pass this news to Bronya."

"It wasn't long before Natasha received word of the unsealing of the upper and lower levels. The passenger cable car, sealed for decades, would be reopened. Bronya also sent a message at this moment, hoping everyone would return to the upper levels for her succession ceremony."

"Of course Xing and the others wouldn't miss it. They, Natasha, and the other kids, Hook, took the first cable car together."

“The moment he saw the blue sky, Hook exclaimed, ‘Wow…! What a huge, blue roof!’”

"Natasha's voice was both sad and joyful: 'That's not a roof, Hook... It's 'the sky.'"

"These children are so pitiful. The things we see every day are so common, but these children from the lower class have never seen such novelties..."

This scene reminded Yue Chengliu of the first time he brought Cang Jiao to New Eridu.

At that time, she held Cang Jiao's hand and passed by many shops along the way. From beginning to end, Cang Jiao's eyes never left those colorful cakes and snacks.

"Sister Liu, what is this? Can I eat it?"

...In her memory, this was the most words Cang Jiao said to her that day.

At that time, she had not yet joined the Anti-Aircraft Section 6, and did not know how to deal with the little girl from the ghost tribe, but that day she bought all the snacks that Cangkaku wanted to eat. Seeing Cangkaku's satisfied look, she also felt an inexplicable warmth.

Is it a feeling of wanting to repay her?

Liu couldn't figure it out, but if she brought Hook, Clara and the others to such a colorful world, she would probably not be able to help but spend some money.

Using worthless money to exchange for children's priceless smiles - what in the world is more valuable than this?

Chapter 73 Sangbo Who are you talking to? Muzan: Don’t come over here!

"In the square of Beloberg, a large number of citizens gathered here. Bronya, despite her physical discomfort, preached to everyone about Beloberg's rebirth and the sacrifice of a great guardian."

"Amidst the cheers of countless people, Bronya was crowned the Grand Guardian."

"After the ceremony, Xing arrived at Krippenburg. After a brief congratulations, they informed Bronya that Yarilo 6 would not be returning to normal anytime soon."

"But unlike the loss they expected, Bronya didn't show much sadness. She believed that even without the core, this planet already had a future. Moreover, she also agreed with Mr. Walter. She believed in the will of the people of Belob and believed that this planet would be revitalized once again."

"They will always wait for the day when the pioneers return. Even if it takes another seven hundred years, the children of Beloberg will always look up at the stars and hold on to hope."

"Even if the ending isn't perfect, it's enough."

After leaving Krippenburg, Sanyueqi suddenly asked curiously, "Bronya said she's willing to wait another seven hundred years for us... So, Danheng, how old can the longest-lived human be?"

Dan Heng's tone suddenly grew solemn, as if recalling something. He sighed, "...endless. But, that can no longer be called human."

"Oh? Could it be that this Danheng has seen us elves?" Celie said with a little surprise.

The life of an elf is almost eternal... This is also the reason why the demons have always wanted to kill all elves. They use their almost infinite life to study magic and accumulate experience, making these creatures quite difficult to kill.

"Lady Celia... I disagree with you." Jian Ze said after thinking for a moment, "The universe where Xing and the others live has many worlds, and different worlds must have different humans."

"Perhaps there is a world where their lifespan is similar to that of elves."

"Well, that's certainly possible." Celie narrowed her eyes. "But if we really encounter a long-lived species... the top fighters in that world would probably be stronger than Seele, Bronya, and the others. After all, the lifespan of a Beloberg is far too short."

"Exquisite craftsmanship can only be turned into dust by time..."

Celie recalled Xi'er's astonishing skills. Looking across the entire continent, she feared there wasn't a warrior with better skills. Thinking that even such a talent was destined to grow old, her calm heart, like an ancient well, couldn't help but ripple.

At the same moment in the Demon Slayer world, Muzan was frightened by Danheng's words.

Endless life...isn't this what they are talking about?

Moreover, they cannot be called human beings, and they are just ghosts - although they have a human-like appearance, they have long gone against the identity of humans.

Could it be that Dan Heng knows the world they are in?

In an instant, all the muscles in Muzan's body were tense, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes turned blood red due to extreme congestion, as if countless red spiders were baring their fangs and claws in them -

He didn't want to face Dan Heng, Xing and the others...especially Walter and Ji Zi.

Muzan was certain in his heart that if they really met on a narrow road one day, he was ready to give up all the Upper Moons and even most of his body, as long as... they could give him a chance to survive!

"After taking pictures with Hook, Clara and the others, Xing was finally able to return to the Goethe Hotel and have a good night's sleep."

"The next second, the screen quickly shifted, and Sambo appeared in the center. From a distance, he was chatting nonstop with someone."

"—Yeah, it was a close call, but luckily, Sambo had an idea: Hey! I don't have to be the protagonist, right? Let's just be the clown wearing the mask."

"It turns out the Star Train crew is even more entertaining than I thought! You really like it? Hahahaha...it's a masterpiece."

"The perspective shifted, and he wasn't talking to anyone in the picture. Instead, he was chatting seriously with a broken TV."

"…No, no, I don't want to leave here yet. What? Epsyron? What kind of fun can there be in a place like that, filled with decadence and extravagance? 'The more happiness reflects human dignity, the higher the happiness'—that's what's interesting!"

"Well, bye. Say hello to the guys at the tavern for me, and don't forget to tell them to look forward to my next performance! Now I'm going to take my bow."

"As he spoke, Sambo suddenly turned around and bent down to greet me."

"For a moment, the green eyes smiled."

"It was as if he could see through the veil of light, seeing everyone in all worlds. He narrowed his eyes slightly... and his signature smile was revealed to all the viewers."

"This story is dedicated to you, my dear reader—I wonder if you have found it a little enjoyable?"

"--If you say no, then Sambo will be sad."

These two casual words immediately made countless people shudder.

The first to be hit was Muzan, whose entire body was shaking at a frequency visible to the naked eye. He was shaking so violently that the other upper-rank demons all felt inexplicable palpitations.

"M-Master Muzan..."

Douma took two steps forward and was about to speak to comfort him, but suddenly Muzan's right arm quickly expanded into a terrifying tentacle, sweeping across the floor in front of Douma with a "bang". Accompanied by a wisp of rising green smoke, Douma's lower body was instantly torn into pieces by the tentacle.

This is simply venting anger.

Although this attack would not kill Douma, the severity of the blow still made several upper-rank monks break out in cold sweats.

Veins popped up on Muzan's face, and he let out low growls from his throat. His tentacles pounded the ground continuously, making a deafening sound. "He's watching us! He must be hiding in some corner I don't know about...watching us!"

"He, he's observing... No, he must have some intention..."

"...Find him! Find him quickly! You must find him!"

Wuzan roared at the top of his lungs.

For hundreds of years, Muzan had never been seen losing his composure like this. Several of the Upper Moons were dumbfounded. Hantengu, the Upper Four, was already trembling and hiding. Yuhu, the Upper Five, was afraid, but he still mustered up the courage to ask:

"Sir, that blue flower..."

Before he could finish his words, a tentacle had already shattered the pot under him, strangled his neck, and slowly lifted him out of the pot.

The bright red in Muzan's eyes seemed to deepen.

"……What did you say?"

The tentacles increased their strength, and the sound of bones breaking could be faintly heard.

Yu Hu was trembling all over, but he knew in his heart that even if his neck was strangled, he could not resist, let alone be disrespectful. He could only humbly make a sound as thin as a mosquito and beg for forgiveness.

"Yes, yes, sir."
