In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

Lauma, unconcerned about the wound on her hand, smiled and said to the travelers, "You've witnessed yet another cover-up..."

She turned to look at Galina on the bed and sighed again.

"I had hoped to change the situation of the Frostmoon Child before Galina's condition worsened to this extent, but it seems I was too slow..."

Some things are so deeply ingrained that they can't be changed easily; it's the same in any world.

Just like in Douluo Continent, if one day, the spirit rings in Douluo Continent no longer provide spirit skills, spirit masters will definitely find it difficult to adapt.

But change is still necessary; no matter what kind of world it is, it cannot remain unchanged forever.

The movie "Raiden" by Inazuma has proven this point. She pursues so-called eternity, secludes herself in a sanctuary, and creates a puppet, Raiden General, to perform the duties of a god in her place.

The result is that Inazuma maintains the so-called eternal and unchanging on the surface, but the things that need to be changed are still changing inside.

Even gods cannot change what is happening unless they stop everyone's time.

But then, what's the point of a world where time stands still?

Back on the celestial screen, Lauma once again reflected on her life.

"My life is like the dark side of the moon, unknown to anyone, yet people desperately need that bright front to guide them..."

If the day arrives when the moon reverses direction, will they be able to accept it?

When Lauma was so confused, the traveler provided the answer.

"I think family members would understand."

Upon hearing this answer, Lauma smiled at the traveler.

"Hearing you say that makes me feel much more at ease."

Paimon added, "We'll definitely help if needed."

"The most important thing right now is to take back our sacred relic from the Fools, but I think the day when the truth is revealed is not far off."

The scene shifts, and the traveler is preparing to leave Xixi Island and return to Naxia Town, but bumps into Vermina Mina.

She is setting a trap to prevent the Fools from attacking.

Even Paimon could tell that Vermina was not in a good condition.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing. I was just wondering if it's really worth it?"

"What do you mean?"

"There are too many stubborn and conservative children among the Frostmoon's children, clinging to their own beliefs about the truth. Do they really deserve what Lauma did?"

"They're just afraid of change."

"Afraid of change, huh? You're right. Never mind, I shouldn't have told you all this. Please forget about it. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Vermina ran away.

Seeing this, Canon said to Aria, "You probably figured it out too, right?"

"Yes, that's right. No matter how strong a fortress is, it's easy to break it down from the inside. Besides, this Frostmoon Child isn't exactly a strong fortress."

"Huh? What are you two talking about?"

Sannada was a little puzzled. She couldn't see anything wrong with it. As the youngest sister, she was indeed too well protected by her two older sisters.

"The one who actually took the Frostmoon Child's relic was that Vermina from before."

"Oh dear! Sister Canon, you're not mistaken, are you? How could it be her? She looks like a very devout believer."

"She may be a devout believer, but it is precisely because she is a devout believer that she is utterly disillusioned with the Frostmoon Child."

"Is that so? Human emotions are so complex!"

There were quite a few intelligent people watching the sky, and they could all see that Vermina was acting strangely, but not many could guess that Vermina was the one who stole the sacred object.

Many people will generate such a script in their minds.

Vermina is a staunch supporter of Lauma. Because she dislikes the die-hards among the Frostmoon Children, she takes advantage of the loss of the sacred relic to completely eliminate the die-hards among the Frostmoon Children.

She herself, as the main villain, made a complete break with Lauma and jumped to the side of the Fools, thus allowing Lauma to completely control the Children of Frostmoon and no longer be hindered by those die-hards.

While the script is quite good, it doesn't reflect the actual situation of Shimotsuki no Ko.

The Frostmoon Children don't really have any real power. Lauma, the Moon Singer, is said to be the leader of the Frostmoon Children, but in reality, she bears all the responsibilities of the Frostmoon Children, making it a truly arduous task.

Vermina's real thought is probably to tell Lauma to stop meddling in the mess left by the Frostmoon Child.

With Rauma's abilities, she would be better off anywhere than staying with the Frostmoon Children.

But Lauma's personality had already determined that she would never leave the Frostmoon Children.

Back on the sky, the Traveler and Paimon arrived at the Silvermoon Garden and brought Columbia delicious food.

Now look at Columbia, who is sitting on the moon statue, swinging her smooth little feet, exuding both girlish liveliness and divine holiness.

"Huh? Who are you again?"

The traveler scratched his head, somewhat speechless; he had been forgotten in just one day.

"This wasn't the one that floated beside you last time."

Paimon was speechless.

"What does this mean? No, my opening remarks are all messed up."

Columbia completely regarded Paimon as a moon spirit, after all, she had closed her eyes and only relied on lunar distance power to perceive the world.

"Hello, I'm Paimon, and this is the Traveler."

Paimon delivered his classic opening line, and then Nuonnota appeared. Columbia came up to Nuonnota and patted its head.

"You're still cuter."

Paimon thought to himself, "So I actually lost to that guy?"

"Columbia!"

"What is it?"

"What are some of your favorite foods?"

"Are you going to treat us to a meal, or offer sacrifices?"

"It would be more appropriate for you to treat us. These are all the skills of travelers, so please don't be shy and try them."

Paimon then laid out the food.

Seeing the food Paimon had laid out, Columbia remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"What do you want to ask?"

In Columbia's eyes, this was not a treat between friends, but a transaction.

The traveler gave her food, and she answered his questions—it was that simple.

Such a simple conversation, yet it evoked a feeling of heartache.

In the past, Columbia probably never truly experienced the friendship of friends and the affection of family.

Friendship may still exist, but the oblivious Columbia failed to understand.

"Our dear sister has truly endured far too many hardships."

"Heaper, I really want to hug her again."
