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

The three goddesses truly felt sorry for their sister Columbia, but unfortunately, they were separated by a world and couldn't give her a warm embrace.

All we can do is keep looking at the sky and hope that Columbia will have a happy ending.

On the sky, the traveler also asked his own question.

"You know the moon in the sky is fake, right?"

"I know there is only one moon in the sky; some people can see it, and some people can't."

"What does it mean to you?"

Colombia paused for a moment, then replied, "The missing prologue of the story."

"What?"

Paimon didn't understand at all.

Columbia didn't explain, and started humming a song to herself again.

The traveler continued, "Can you tell me about this song? You were humming this melody the last time you came, so I think it must be very important to you."

"This is the only thing I remember from when I was born, a melody, a few lyrics, like a lullaby I heard when I was young and confused."

"Who sang that?"

"I don't know, I have nothing but this music."

"well?"

Although Columbia's words were spoken in an extremely plain manner, they gave people a very lonely feeling.

Even if Colombia were standing right in front of you, you would feel as if you were thousands of miles away from her.

However, Columbia was finally willing to say a few more words in front of the traveler and Paimon.

"Then I saw my Frostmoon Children, the same; they had nothing but hope."

Before I even knew what was happening, they treated me as their god, and I had no reason to refuse.

So, like exchanging two lost babies, I adopted their faith, and they adopted my life.

However, adoption only throws you into the story halfway through; the earlier parts of the story were written on the wrong manuscript and not bound into the book.

This sense of emptiness and incompleteness fostered greed and suspicion in the Frostmoon Child, and this greed and suspicion made me realize that this was never "home."

"Greed and doubt?"

"My divine ruler, please forge weapons for us, drive out foreign enemies, and expand our territory!"

"My divine being, please restore our severed limbs, relieve our suffering, and grant us new power!"

"They gave me whatever I asked for, and I responded to them, until the desires I heard could no longer be fulfilled."

If people can pray to the gods when they are powerless, then to whom can the gods confide when they are powerless?

Neither Paimon nor the traveler could answer this question, and Columbia had no intention of getting an answer from them.

"At that time, faith was more important than facts in the hearts of the Frostmoon Child."

Reality has rewritten the sky in words I can't understand. I don't want to look at the altered words, so I choose not to.

My true prologue was lost on the moon, a place I can never reach. Like a piece of Braille I can never read.

Although Paimon didn't quite understand, he still nodded in agreement, saying, "I see."

However, at this moment, Columbia showed a pained expression, and the blue flowers on the ground turned grayish-white.

Seeing this, everyone felt a pang of sympathy for Colombia.

Her confession just now gave people a deeper understanding of her.

That feeling of loneliness was palpable even through the sky.

"The Frost Moon Child is truly despicable, making so many unreasonable demands on the gods. Do the gods owe them anything?"

They've merely made statues of the gods and recited a few insignificant prayers; why should the gods grant them whatever they desire?

"Moon, be careful what you say. We shouldn't casually comment on matters of the gods."

Shuiyue didn't care at all.

"What does it matter? I'm standing up for the gods. Even though she's a god, this moon goddess Columbia is so pitiful. All she wanted was a home. What did she do wrong?"

Yes, Columbia did nothing wrong, but the real world isn't just about right and wrong, and right and wrong aren't even important at all.

Canon sighed again as he looked at the three goddesses.

Because her connection with the moon was severed, Columbia was constantly ostracized by Teyvat.

Judging from her current state, it might not be long before she completely disappears due to Teyvat's rejection.

"Heaper!"

Sanna Da felt a sense of empathy; that feeling of being rejected by the whole world was almost suffocating.

On the celestial screen, the Traveler and Paimon noticed that Columbia was not in a good condition and wanted to help.

"You don't look well. Is something wrong? Can we help you?"

"No need. I have nothing to offer you as compensation except the answer."

This is the price I pay for running away from home for the second time.

At this moment, Columbia's gaze turned towards the food, showing that she was truly hungry.

"That guy Lauma, he wouldn't really leave his own god there, starving forever, would he?"

Given the situation of the Frostmoon Children, it's quite possible. In their eyes, gods are definitely high above, and don't need to eat.

Nefer rubbed her forehead and said helplessly.

"Oh! No wonder I always felt that Columbia was weak and listless when I saw her before. She was starving!"

If I had known, I would have given her the snacks I had prepared.

Yakoda liked Columbia, the moon goddess, quite a bit, especially since Columbia had saved her life.

On the sky, Colombia continued, "Do you still have many questions? I know I should respond adequately to the invitation, but I'm a little tired."

"I'm so sorry."

"The Ice Queen is right, freedom always comes at a price."

He said I could treat the Fools as another home, but in the end it would just be another place that thirsted for the power of the moon goddess.

I don't want to talk about unpleasant things anymore.

Although it consumed much of my power, I have fulfilled my promise to the Queen, so it has nothing to do with betrayal.

"So you're resting here now, slowly recovering your strength, right?"

"Um!"

"Then these flowers are...?"

"These flowers have lived in Nordkalai for a long time and are very sensitive to changes in the lunar moment force."

Columbia raised her hand, and the flowers that had turned grayish-white returned to blue.

"I also thought about the thing that the Frostmoon Child hid; I could feel a wealth of power within it."

But going out is such a hassle, and I might get seen. I promised Rauma I wouldn't show myself in front of others, and besides, I know it's gone now.

"You and Lauma have such an agreement."

Columbia looked towards the food again, making Paimon feel embarrassed.

"Here are some egg rolls, you can have them as a snack."

Paimon gave the egg roll to Columbia, who took a bite and liked it very much.
