Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

If this continues, and we still find nothing in this maze-like rift, anyone would probably go crazy, right?

Fortunately, hard work pays off. After about a few minutes, they finally found something -

"Look! Is that the 'Great Guardian' over there?!" March 7th suddenly shouted, pointing at a figure in the distance who was walking towards a higher place.

“…Mother?!”

Bronya was even more excited than March Seven, and she immediately chased after him. Unfortunately, the final result was not satisfactory.

Chapter 63 The final sound of fate is approaching——

"Unfortunately, this is just an afterimage... some kind of residual energy copied from the Rift."

When everyone gathered around the figure that March 3 had pointed out, they realized that it was just an illusion like that projected by a D projector.

Based on the characteristics of rift replication and the unstable spatial properties, it is indeed very likely that such a thing will happen.

"Mother..."

After seeing this image and looking at the cold expression on Cocolia's face, Bronya, who had been firm in her belief, immediately became depressed. After all, she couldn't understand why her mother would make such a choice.

......Is she really completely controlled by the star core?

"I say, you are so hesitant just because you saw a useless illusion. If you see the real person later, won't you stab us in the back?"

Seele didn't tolerate this kind of pretentious girl at all. She went up to her and started to output the essence of the lower-level culture, which taught Bronya a lesson so much that she kept looking at her toes. After a few seconds, she raised her head again.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back!"

"Tsk, it would be best if it could be like this."

For some reason, the two of them seemed to be born incompatible and would always argue about anything...but usually it was Seele who taught Bronya a lesson.

"Alright, alright, sisters, stop quarreling like a couple. Since this shadow appeared here and walked in the direction ahead, it means that the route I led is completely correct. We can find the star core if we continue to move forward."

Little Ai Li stopped the quarrel between Bronya and Seele in a very novel way, and even successfully steered the topic back on track.

"Who is a couple with this guy from the upper class district?!"

"I...How could I possibly do something like that?!"

The replies were so uniform, and you still dare to say that you are not a young couple?

Little Ai Li rolled her eyes and gave the three people behind her a look that said "see, it's just as I expected", before she gave Bronya and Seele a cute smile again.

"I understand, I understand~ Then two sisters, let's go now~"

This family will break up sooner or later without my little Ai Li!

After about ten minutes, everyone finally arrived at the true end of this rift - it was a long staircase leading to the top of a distant mountain. It felt like in the era when Yalilo-VI had not yet been affected by the star core, it was possible that this place was some kind of tourist attraction.

"We're here! Our destination is just ahead! Right now, the fate of the entire world and civilization is in our hands... Come on, everyone. We have to climb all 100 steps in one go!"

Looking at the staircase that seems to have no end, and then looking at Ellie's short legs now... it is obvious that compared to Cocolia and the star core, the long staircase in front of her is the biggest and most terrifying challenge for her to reach the finish line.

"So... the place ahead is where everything will be decided?" Xier hesitated for a moment and looked at her companions beside her: "Strange, I thought I would be scared or nervous, but I'm not. The only feeling I have now is... it's a little unreal?"

“Does a pioneering journey always end like this?”

Xing, who also had the same feeling, turned her head and looked at Dan Heng beside her, and the other party also gave her the answer very considerately: "The train passes through one world after another, and we are just passers-by, witnesses of a story. We always avoid being caught up in the waves that determine the survival of the world... but there are times when we can't help ourselves."

Being involved in a moment that determines the survival of the world means that they must bear the due responsibility and pressure. So generally speaking, they choose to deal with the star core in a slightly low-key manner and then leave.

"In other words - Xing, you're extremely lucky on your first pioneering trip!"

Sanyueqi smiled and added: "A pleasant adventure doesn't have so many rules and regulations! Helping people in need, making trustworthy partners, and saving the world a few times - this is the spirit of pioneering!"

"Oh, that sounds interesting..."

Unfortunately, Kevin, that idiot, would definitely not agree to them joining such a troublesome organization. No, she had to find a way herself...

"I was a little confused at first, but after seeing your optimistic look, I suddenly felt that these difficulties were nothing... Let's go and face the future of Beloberg!"

In the end, it was Bronya who took the lead and stepped onto the stairs leading to the top of the mountain, step by step towards the end of her own civilization.

As they continued to go deeper, the originally staggered steps gradually turned into layers of snow, and the temperature around them continued to drop at a terrifying rate.

"Hiss - it's so cold. It seems that I can't resist such a temperature with just a little bit of pioneering power."

March Seven kept rubbing his arms with his hands, and Bronya's cheeks were frozen white. She could only lean slightly behind Seele to avoid the cold wind.

After they finally stepped out of the narrow valley, not only did the ruins of various buildings reappear in everyone's sight, but the road leading to the top was also filled with bizarre ice sculptures.

"Ugh...what are these things? They look so scary."

Sanyueqi tiptoed to a lying ice sculpture and stepped on it gently, saying, "When the minions of the Antimatter Army invaded this world, they certainly didn't expect that they would be swallowed by the cold wave, right? But, is this guy in the ice still alive...?"

If they were normal people, they would have died long ago, but these guys in the antimatter army are not normal people after all!

"How about we name it July 3rd?" Xing, who was thinking with his chin in his hand, suddenly said.

"Hey! You're still in the mood to make such a joke now!"

Although she was also hatched from ice, she is obviously completely different from these guys in the antimatter army!

Having said that, each of these ice sculptures scattered across the mountain trails does look so lifelike that one can't help but wonder whether these creatures will come back to life after the ice thaws.

The power of the star core did seal these monsters that invaded civilization, but it also sealed the possibility of Beloberg rekindling civilization...

First of all, thank you all for subscribing! ! ! ! !

In fact, when I launched it, I didn’t expect the results to be so good, so I didn’t dare to open it at all (whisper)

Then, with the encouragement of my group friends, I decided to give it another try!

It's roughly like this: one hundred monthly tickets for one chapter, ten thousand rewards for one chapter, and one hundred razor blades for one!

There are five chapters for the silver treasure chest and twenty chapters for the gold treasure chest!

Although it seems unlikely that there will be a big treasure chest ()

By the way, here is the group number ~ 1169300249

Go ahead, little Ellie!

Chapter 64: A Thousand Years of Human Time Is Just a Grain of Grain

[Join us...The new world you've always dreamed of is right before your eyes...Join us...]

As they were getting closer to the top of the mountain, a strange voice suddenly broke into Bronya's mind, forcing her to stop and cover her forehead tightly.

Xing who was standing next to him also made the same move.

"Hey hey hey...what's wrong with you two? Why did you suddenly cover your heads at the same time?!"

Facing San Yueqi's question, Xing shook his head and tried to drive the strange voice out of his mind, and replied: "I felt...some voice suddenly broke into my mind just now, and said something like let me join them..."

"It is very likely that the star core has truly developed self-awareness over the course of hundreds of years. It was attempting to seduce Bronya, the heir to the 'Great Guardian,' but it unexpectedly resonated with the star core in the star's body." After pondering for a moment, Dan Heng gave a fairly reasonable explanation.

"At a time like this, you're still doing brainwashing and other crooked things?"

No one knew what had irritated Xier, causing her to immediately become indignant: "We are only a short distance away, what are we waiting for? Let's go up and give that bewitching witch a good beating!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xier rushed to the top without hesitation, forcing everyone to follow her and speed up.

"Huh... No, you guys... slow down!"

The one who is probably the most miserable among them is little Ai Li, who is not even as tall as the others... Others take three steps to take one step. Who knows how painful it is for a little child to climb a mountain of hundreds of meters!

After finally reaching the platform at the top of the mountain, one could almost see at a glance the huge device encapsulating a glowing object on the edge of the cliff - this was most likely the object that the city builders used seven hundred years ago to try to suppress the star core, but from the current Yalilo-VI it was not difficult to see that they had actually failed miserably.

At this time, Cocolia stood in front of the huge device, looking up quietly at the star core encapsulated inside it.

"I guessed that there would be someone who didn't understand me, hated me, and tried to stop me, but I never thought that person would be you... Bronya."

Bronya was slightly stunned by these words that contained a different kind of emotion, but after turning her head to look at her companions, she immediately strengthened her faith and asked back: "Mother... are you really willing to believe the promise of the Star Core? It was it that brought about the wind and snow of the Rift and opened the door to the Rift. It destroyed our civilization—"

"——The mistake our ancestors made was not embracing destruction sooner."

Generally speaking, normal people would subconsciously choose to resist such things that would bring disaster, but Cocolia did choose the other party without hesitation. Her persistence over the past decade is no less than anyone else's.

"I don't understand... In the past hundreds of years, every guardian in power has resisted the call of the star core... Is their persistence wrong, mother?"

Bronya has personally experienced the feeling of having a strange voice echoing in her mind all the time. This long-term pain is definitely enough to distort everyone's beliefs, but the fact is... in the past seven hundred years, no guardian has really chosen to betray Beloberg.

Even if it was Shirley, who was called "the fool" by the world...

"Don't you see clearly, Bronya? There is no right or wrong here. There is only human arrogance and shortsightedness."

Cocolia finally turned her head and looked at the people behind her, and began to speak: "Our ancestors - including Alisa Rand - burned their lives to continue this civilization, and then returned to silence, and their memories were blown away by the wind and snow. They were busy all their lives compiling hymns praising human courage, but they had no time to concentrate on gazing at the stars..."

"A thousand years of time is but a drop in the ocean compared to the greater existence in the starry sky. The achievements of a tiny race are of no noteworthy value. I will not repeat their mistakes and walk on a dead end in self-pity. If persistence is doomed to be futile, then choose a fresh start."

If viewed from an extremely rational perspective, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what Cocolia said - compared to a truly magnificent existence, wiping out an entire planet from the world is just a matter of a few moves, and from then on, everything that has ever existed on this planet will no longer have any value.

In the vast universe, such things happen from time to time, and you can even get the news that an entire galaxy has been annihilated from the radio next to your ear...but such news is actually not as good as today's battleships, whose prices have risen by several percentages.

This is the real and cold world. No one will really care about anyone other than themselves.

"But, isn't Krippo the 'protector' one of the magnificent beings you mentioned? Isn't it his power that has been protecting Beloberg?"

"'Protect'? Has anyone ever looked humans in the eye? That's just the self-righteous fantasy of the city builders."

Cocolia raised her hand and led Bronya to look at the star core at the top: "Look at the future they promised, Bronya! A world without poverty, cold, and pain; a world where people no longer have to pray for survival like prisoners; a world that we can protect forever."

"For seven hundred years, we have been trying and fighting, thinking that the light of humanity would lead us to revival - but the result is that we have stepped step by step into the abyss of despair... Humanity has no way out, Bronya."

"I've told you all the truth; about the deal with the star core, about the wish I made to it... I want to know your choice, Bronya."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have never forced you to obey my will. No matter what, you always have a choice - it was always the same in the past and it is still the same now."

"Choose, daughter."

Even for Bronya, Cocolia has always provided her with different options, but as the "Great Guardian" standing in front of everyone, no one has ever been able to give her more choices.

In fact, most things in this world are never really right or wrong.

"Lady Kokolia... Thank you for raising me, thank you for leaving me the power to choose. But... I'm sorry, right now. This last time, I can't stand by your side."

“You say that humans are always arrogant and short-sighted. That’s because you stand too high up and have never seen those who are truly surviving and fighting in desperate situations. Even if the future seems hopeless, they never give up on themselves.”

"Our ancestors built this city with their own hands, and they struggled to keep civilization going amidst the wind and snow. Even if the future is already predetermined and this world is bound to fall apart, the road to the end should be paved by human hands—"

"——Instead of leaving your fate to this seed of disaster!"

Chapter 65 Ji Zi: How about you two go over?

"Actually, I think she is right. Compared to the more magnificent existence, the so-called struggle of human beings is indeed not worth mentioning." Kevin asserted on the Starry Sky Train.

Just like the "collapse" that tortured human civilization for several reincarnations on Earth and took away countless lives, for the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" and the "Cocoon", it is just a mechanism to detect whether the other party is qualified to continue to exist.

"But her mistake was that even though she realized this, she still placed her hopes on something that she had no control over... Of course, this was also a choice she made out of sheer helplessness."

At this moment, March 7 and his group who were fighting desperately in the cold wind probably could not have imagined that while they were fighting desperately, Kevin and Walter were standing leisurely on a distant train and silently observing everything.

"Humans are a race that can create miracles, but if she chooses to give up on this, she will never succeed... Kevin."

"......Yeah?"

Facing Walter's rebuttal, Kevin, who was staring at the screen silently, calmly proposed a possibility: "What if she didn't make such a choice, and no outsiders arrived on this planet... You are very smart, you should be able to predict that result, right?"

"I believe there are countless civilizations in this world that are in desperate situations like theirs, but there are only a handful of people like you who are willing to lend a helping hand. Don't put yourself in the shoes of a savior. We are all just ordinary people... Walter."

"If I were her, I would probably be forced to make a similar decision when I had no other options—"
