Collapse, survive

"I did it on purpose."

Fang Jie was open and honest, and the hand that had been pounding the ground was now feeling the touch of the girl's buttocks, which was excellent.

"Aren't you going to chase after them? Kiana and the others..."

"Don't chase."

Fang Jie was very firm: "Let them be. I'd rather worry about you. You look quite disheveled, Mei."

Bronya's questioning, "What about me? What about me?" was ignored.

Raiden Mei looked slightly embarrassed and glanced at... Durandal, who was even more embarrassed.

"I, I'm leaving first."

Durandal's gaze drifted: "Rita is still waiting for me."

Logically, she should have yelled at Fang Jie, after all, he was bullying a young girl like that...

But Raiden Mei is a Herrscher.

She's not a delicate kitten; if she wanted to rebel, she could have easily exploded.

But it's not the right time. Raiden Mei is still a cute girl now, not a red electric dragon, running rampant in the Land of the Dead.

She's being elbowed badly by Kevin right now.

"Don't leave."

Fang Jie was incredibly self-righteous. He was intimidated by Mebius, but also tolerated by Alicia. He had a pleasant conversation with Eden and even got along well with Velvi.

But, as expected, the Dengs should unite.

"Mei, the hero you were initially matched with wasn't Kevin, right? Why did you end up teaming up with him to fight him? No need to answer, I can tell at a glance. You need to learn to refuse Kiana. This is Kaslana's trial, and you don't necessarily have to find your answer from Kevin."

He's not a lawyer.

"You don't really reject Kiana either."

"But I'm stronger than you."

This map is much shorter than the map of Yan Kingdom. It hit Mei right in the heart, making the sullen Bronya laugh out loud.

Yes, that's exactly the feeling.

Fang Jie, that rascal, just when you think things are going well, he'll pull a fast one.

"Hey."

Mei could tell that it wasn't just a description of objective facts, but also carried a hint of boasting.

She pushed Fang Jie's hand away and stepped back.

"What are you laughing at? Where's your little bunny?"

He then angrily punched Bronya.

"Sister Mei, Heavy Bunny will receive more thorough strengthening and training, and become an even stronger assistant."

Bronya was stubborn, neither daring to go back to the Spiral Workshop nor daring to speak frankly.

As for Heavy Bunny...

It seems that Vilvi has been modified and added as a workshop assistant.

Watching them playfully bicker and get along so well, Durandal still wanted to leave. It wasn't that finding Rita was that important, but rather that she didn't want to...

waste time.

growing up.

Seize the time to grow.

Durandal is a very hardworking person, and in her eyes, the Land of the Dead is a good place to train, and her opponent is Kevin.

She has been left far behind by Fang Jie and desperately needs an opponent like him.

"No need to rush, Durandal."

Having completed a new gacha pool and developed a new strategy, Fang Jiezhi was not only proud of himself but also in a very good mood.

"The meaning of the Paradise of the Past is not just about making you grow, well, not entirely. In the words of a certain pink fairy lady who is as shy as a flower, — you who come after us will witness the footprints of our lives, the imprints of our souls, and find the answers you seek within them."

"The answer is such an ambiguous statement. It's good that you're not telling me directly. Rather than the answer, I'd like to ask a question."

Like Raiden Mei, Durandal is stuck at a certain point in her life.

Of course, she is less likely to be confused, after all, she is a straightforward and somewhat naive person who acts before thinking.

Raiden Mei's downfall is that she's too smart.

Fang Jie listened attentively, while Youlandail took a deep breath: "May I ask, what is the Paradise of the Past to you?"

"That's a good question."

Fang Jie also let Bronya get her way. She grabbed Fang Jie's hand, climbed onto his back, and "stood up" there.

Shenjin, what made you become like this?

Amidst this cutscene, Fang Jie candidly tells Durandal, "Paradise of the Past is the paradise in Alicia's heart. Although the conditions are limited, she has found her own 'answer.' — If paradise doesn't exist, then I will create one myself!"

Durandal didn't quite understand, after all, her knowledge of the Paradise of the Past was limited.

Currently, there's almost no exploration; it's all about finding Kevin to fight.

So Fang Jie wanted to stop her and suggest she take a different look at this paradise.

Fang Jie already had the answer, which was even known to the heroes long ago, some anticipating it, some waiting for it, and some taking the plunge...

"For me, the Paradise of the Past is the cornerstone of the paradise in my heart. It's not just the Paradise of the Past. It's beautiful, but it can be even more beautiful. Yes, it can be even more beautiful. Perhaps this world has never been beautiful. Why should such beautiful people be buried, turned to ashes, and forgotten? The world shouldn't be like this."

Fang Jie has come to understand his own talents.

In the River of Oblivion, it is a miracle that someone is watching over the drowning, but he leaps across the waters of death and calamity.

More like a ferryman of the River of Oblivion than a guardian of it.

One step to heaven, one step to hell; the heart is like a mud fish.

Fang Jie calls it:

--【have】

He can explore what his "existence" specifically includes, even if the future is bleak and eternal.

It's difficult. Even in the galaxy, the miraculous method of transforming into a dragon, which attempts to save something, ultimately fails, causing even greater heartache.

But there is always a paradise that embraces everything. If it doesn't exist, then I and we will create it.

I can't do it, but we definitely can.

Durandal was asking questions, Raiden Mei and Bronya were listening in, and there was also her 'good sister' who hadn't gone far at all, and who would come back to check on them like a silly deer if left alone.

Fang Jie acts based on his own 'answer'—

“Let the songs that no one has ever sung begin to be sung again.”

To write a new chapter for stories buried in the dust of history.

A noble and pure soul embarks on a journey.

Therefore, he came here not to dismantle the paradise of the past with the power of the 'Origin'.

Instead, it joins the Land of the Dead, allowing everything that this place embodies—

"The beast of plunder, the free [empty dream]; the feather of crossing the dust, the steadfast [floating life]; the scroll of painting the world, the pure [stars]; the serpent of devouring the world, the loving [infinity]; the whistle of dawn, the willful [rising light]; the blade of shattering, the resolute [moment]; the eye of good law, the wisdom [heavenly wisdom]; the flame of destruction, the sincere [annihilation]; the box of foolish play, the miraculous [spiral]; the song of brilliance, the glorious [gold]; the threshold of deep sin, the loving [precepts]; the sword of eternity, the ideal [salvation]; and the flawless person, the returning [true self]."

"All of this,"

"We hereby praise and call for the return of all that is good in this world."

"handsome!"

Kiana's eyes sparkled, like Durandal's.

The stars were also shining brightly: "Handsome."

And, great lines, mine.

She excels at repeating a grade.

Alicia tilted her head: "Strange, I feel like..."

This seems to be one of many versions of farewell she had prepared for a long time. Oh dear, isn't this another version?

Kiana's eyes lit up for a moment, but seeing Fang Jie being held by Bronya and Mei so close... she frowned.

There are cows!

No, this timeline...

There are cows!

Seeing the idiot next to me still thinking he's 'handsome,' what are you 'handsome' about?

There are cows!

Was I really that silly back then?

She asked herself honestly: naive, reckless, foolish... and favored.

This one is more favored.

The brief three-year period has come to an end. Upholding this love, Kiana embraces the world and ascends to the throne of the gods.

She shook her head, thinking that this version of herself was probably useless; she hadn't received enough training and was not up to the task.

"You should feel ashamed, Kiana."

"Go away, you're so small but you have such a big mouth. What do I know about shame? I'm cute, that's enough."

Kiana waved away the inexplicable disdain, "Why do you look down on me?"

I'm so cute!

Kiana's eyes grew increasingly dangerous as she pondered whether she should teach her a lesson.

But then she felt helpless, realizing that she was acting inexplicably at this time.

sister.

She looked at Yulandel.

And my younger sister.

She looked at Xing.

The first one is understandable, but the second one...

Forget it, let's look at Alicia instead.

"Um, hello."

Compared to Velvi, she had met Alicia, who had embraced her as they journeyed to the Cocoon of the End. At that final moment, it was Mei and Bronya who, like a relay race, carried her to the depths of the Cocoon.

"Hi?."

Alicia wasn't stupid when Kiana approached; it was clear that Kiana's appearance in this paradise wasn't an isolated case.

In the end, I found the answer myself, broke free from the 'cocoon' that bound my fate, and ended the chapter with fond memories.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Velvi's smile and her tears...

Her expression wasn't obvious, but she was definitely crying.

They were rescued.

very nice.

how about you?

Girl who bears the weight of the end, what kind of story do you have?

We've come together here, and we have so much to say to each other.

Kiana, having already 'scummy' abandoned the little guy she had snatched, ran back to Fang Jie like a silly deer.

On the left, it's her.
