Talulah, I'm still a child.

Chapter 35 The Fall of the Stars

Many people have different interpretations of fate, but no one understands it as well as Su Xueer and Mei Xue, who are the embodiment of fate. They know better than anyone that fate is nothing and everything.

There is no concrete object, only the concept itself, but as long as it exists, it will have a destiny. Everything comes down to one point, and one point connects everything.

Now, Mei Xue probably knows that Su Xue'er has embarked on that path, which is indeed the most suitable for her, but also the most dangerous.

"My sister is much better than me. At least she's not afraid of crabs. She's also very smart and cooks very well, but she has terrible luck."

As Mei Xue sorted through his few memories, he tried to delve deeper, actively drawing out those memories he had hidden. He hesitated about whether to open the two boxes, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and decided against it. Things had just stabilized, and there was no need to rush. He should at least wait until the matter at Yumen was over before making a decision.

"For example, her tail would get burned when she cooked, so we switched to an induction cooker and a rice cooker. Or she would always accidentally bump into a rock when she slept, which made her so angry that she threw away all the rocks. She would only feel better when she was with me."

"It feels like Sister Su and Brother Su are complete opposites."

"Well, I'm a boy and she's a girl. I'm the positive side of fate and she's the negative side. But we have a very good relationship. My sister has always protected me. She used to be a terrible cook, but she gradually learned how to cook."

After all, given Su Xue'er's age, she has plenty of time to learn new knowledge. Of course, she could reach the pinnacle of cooking after learning for thousands or tens of thousands of years. It's just a pity for the plants and animals she harmed, many of which are now extinct.

"What then?"

"Later...then one day when I opened my eyes, she was gone, and I still haven't found her anywhere."

She can't remember what happened after that. Even though the past and future overlap with the present, Mei Xue still can't see that part of the past. Without an anchor point, if she tries to read the past on her own, she will easily end up in another timeline.

"Is brother looking for Sister Su?"

"Yes, we've been searching for a long time, and we're still searching now. It seems she went to a very far place."

If that weren't the case, how could Su Xue'er still not have returned by now? Aside from a fact that Mei Xue least wanted to accept, he didn't even want to think about it.

"Then, brother, will you disappear again?"

"Of course not, well, if you're worried, we can pinky swear."

As she spoke, Mei Xue raised her hand and hooked her little finger, but the beautiful sapphire ring on her hand caught Cecilia's eye. The little angel reached out and touched her chest, pulling out a ring. It was the ring that Doctor and Kroos had sold using the "Mei Xue One-Day Date Right". Many people on Rhodes Island had it. Felia had signed up her own precious daughter, and she had bought the ring herself, but she couldn't wear it on her hand yet, so she could only wear it.

"Mom said rings are more useful than pinkies, brother, can we change it to this?"

Looking at Cecilia's pure and innocent face, Mei Xue affectionately nuzzled her, his fox ears drooping and then tilting upwards. He hugged the little angel and took the ring off her neck.

It was indeed a bit too big for Cecilia's slender fingers, but that wasn't a problem for Mei Xue. The little fox kissed the gemstone on the ring, and when he looked up, the ring had already shrunk a little.

"I swear, I will stay with Cecilia as she grows up."

Mei Xue could only think of this spot to put the ring on the little angel's index finger. Although this wasn't the first time he had given a ring to someone, it felt special, as if he had some kind of connection with Cecilia.

"Thank you, brother!"

The little angel snuggled happily into Mei Xue's arms, looking at the ring with increasing satisfaction. The little fox covered her with his tail, casually tapped her head, and extinguished the fluorescent light-like halo.

"Alright, it's late now, it's bedtime. Cecilia, don't be a bad girl, or Aunt Felia will blame me."

"No, Mom loves you so much, brother. She told me to try my best... Hmm, I want to win you over, but my hands are too small to hold you."

“I don’t think Aunt Felia meant that.”

For some reason, Mei Xue suddenly became worried about Cecilia's future. She would feel guilty if this innocent and lovely little angel went astray. But could someone explain why Aunt Felia, who was also a mother, was starting to act a little improperly? Had she been assimilated by Warfarin and the others?

"Never mind all that, let's go to sleep. I'll take you out to play tomorrow. Although the scenery in Yumen isn't as beautiful as Shangshu, it has its own unique charm."

"Good~"

Cecilia obediently closed her eyes and nestled in Mei Xue's arms, not even noticing that Mei Xue had cut off the power to her aura. She stretched out her tail to disconnect the power, and Mei Xue rolled up her umbrella and pulled it back in, closing her eyes as well.

But Mei Xue didn't notice that the metal box he had kept in his tail, which he had previously obtained from the Nine-Colored Deer and Skadi from the Drip Village in Kazimierz, had somehow opened a crack.

Mei Xue wouldn't have noticed if she hadn't checked; he was sound asleep, completely unaware that the gap between the two boxes was gradually widening.

"Sister...please come back soon..."

In the hazy throes of a dream, Mei Xue murmured these words, unintentionally stirring something within her.

In the distant East Sea, further east of the Great Yan Kingdom, Amaya led hundreds of Sirens to swim freely in the ocean. Although Sirens and sea creatures were two completely different species, they were of the same origin. The familiar ocean made them feel particularly relaxed. As for those sea creatures? To them, they were no different from ordinary fish and posed no threat. The other side seemed to have learned its lesson and dared not approach.

"Remember, the target this time is those stone tablets. It's best to bring them all back. If you can't bring them back, just destroy them!"

Having given her sisters a clear message, Amaya sped up. Given the Sirens' physical abilities, traveling from the South China Sea of ​​Great Yan to here in a day would be considered incredibly slow. But there was no other way; it was to avoid disturbing the large group of Sea Siren. Although she wasn't afraid of the Sea Siren, she still wanted to avoid any unforeseen complications.

The swarm of Sirens is still working diligently, everything for the sake of the swarm, everything for the sake of survival. Sirens are willing to do anything for this. This is not a hive mentality, but an instinct deeply ingrained in their genes. Perhaps the Sirens changed the target of this instinct to Mei Xue during the process of evolution, which is why they are so devoted to the little fox.

Everything was so uneventful. According to Amaya's idea, the most she would have had to do was to be hindered by Hai Si when digging up those stone tablets. But just as they saw the stone tablet forest covered with glowing microorganisms Hai Si, Mei Xue's call to Su Xue'er reached the ears of all the Siren Lolis.

This wouldn't have been a problem, since it wasn't the first time the Sirens had heard Mei Xue's voice. The little fox's power was growing too fast, and sometimes he couldn't help but talk in his sleep, which the Siren lolis connected to him could naturally hear. But this time was different; in addition to these girls, "others" also heard the voice.

"What... happened to us?"

Amaya was about to assign tasks when she noticed that the surrounding sea was inexplicably turbulent, and all the sea creatures around her sensed the danger and began to scatter.

Danger! Even though there were no high-energy reactions in the sea ahead, their intuition told every Siren that danger was imminent. Without Amaya saying anything more, they all voluntarily evacuated the area, moving at a speed more than ten times faster than sound. But the sense of crisis had not yet disappeared.

How to describe it? It's like facing a collapsing mountain, fear overwhelms everything. Amaya, who was in charge of the rear guard, felt a strange change in her body. Unlike the positive evolution given by Mei Xue, she actually felt weak and in pain. It was a heart disease, but the Sirens didn't have a heart at all.

Before Amaya could react, she felt her blood begin to surge uncontrollably. The power belonging to Mei Xue resonated with the thing behind her that had caused the huge change, greatly slowing her down.

"Big sister! Hurry!"

Black mist kept pouring out of Gatanothor's head in an attempt to stop the strange and inexplicable power. It flung out a tentacle that wrapped around Amaya's hand and pulled her forward. But with just this touch, she actually felt the same way about the other party in an instant.

Weakness is like an ordinary person getting sick, followed by a lack of coordination in various parts of the body, and the inability of consciousness to control the body.

"The dark room is useless. You two hurry up and give up on this body, otherwise no one but the master can save you!"

The Sirens quickly analyzed the situation and concluded that the force had triggered a series of catastrophes. Fortunately, Amaya and Gatanothor were the most powerful among the Sirens; otherwise, their spirits would likely have been affected as well after their bodies were corrupted. Moreover, the Sirens' mental networks were interconnected, so if this virus-like substance infected one of their sisters, the rest would be in trouble.

"damn it!"

Amaya and Gatanothor did not hesitate. They abandoned their bodies and merged into the collective mental network of the Sirens. Siren Number Sixteen waved her hand and used a stream of water to push their bodies backward. Amaya was still carrying the miniature Destruction Mushroom that Mei Xue had given her. If this thing exploded, there would be no living thing within dozens of kilometers around.

On the other side, Shuiyue, who was sleeping leaning against a large rock, suddenly woke up. He had always been connected to the Hai Si swarm, so he naturally knew everything happening on the seabed. Of course, this was one-sided; he just needed the Hai Si swarm as his monitor.

"He actually woke up? This isn't right... This is two years different from what was agreed upon. How could He have woken up? The preparations aren't finished yet!"

Without taking a break, Shuiyue shouldered her luggage and headed towards Rhodes Island. She had been delayed by some matters and now she had to get to Meixue's side as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, on Rhodes Island, Specter was getting ready for bed when she suddenly heard Mei Xue's voice. She shook her head helplessly and straightened her blankets, only to be startled when Skadi burst through the door.

"Daqun...Dahai...she's not dead, no, that's not her, please save Daqun!"

Skadi's eyes were bloodshot, and she choked back tears, her eyes and expression filled with undisguised fear and terror.

Meanwhile, in Amiya's room, she seemed to be gripped by something terrifying in an instant, waking up from a nightmare with tears streaming down her face. Was it a nightmare? Was it really just a dream?

Aside from these people, many other beings also felt fear. The Wolves of Syracuse bared their teeth as they stared at the dark clouds in the distance. The Emperor of Lungmen smashed his exquisite wine glass at some point. On the rooftop of a skyscraper in Columbia, Horhaya's brows furrowed incessantly.

Within the Ursus Empire, the Holy Fool, dressed in strange attire, opened all his eyes. All the demons in the north of the empire stopped moving, as if they had sensed something, and like the spirits in the southern hotlands of Sargon, they fled back to their lairs in a sorry state.

Beneath the Lateran Papal Palace, creations from an ancient civilization continuously analyzed, reported errors, and corrected calculations. All the Sarkaz felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. Meanwhile, in the royal city of Victoria, Theresis on the throne suddenly opened her eyes. The absolutists beside her and the heads of the various royal courts below were also on high alert, unlike the long sigh that lingered in the minds of pure-blooded Sarkaz when Theresa died.

PRTS’s central control granted this authority on its own and began a series of actions without violating the rules set by the creator. No one knew that PRTS actually had its own consciousness. It was not a simple artificial intelligence, nor could it be accomplished by any of Terra’s existing technologies.

"Miss Star, were the positions of the stars fixed in the past?"

Before going to sleep, the Rhodes Island operators would often see Miss Astrolabe observing the stars through her telescope. Shining thought this job was very romantic, and the starry sky was indeed beautiful.

"It's like this, a long time ago, each star had its own position, just like each of us. Unfortunately, now the stars have no discernible pattern, I..."

At this point, Xingji looked up at the sky, but was so surprised by what he saw that he was speechless. Even Shining was stunned.

"The starry sky...has changed?"

It's unclear where it started, but it was as if a pebble had been thrown into a lake called the Starry Sky. As ripples spread, the Starry Sky became noticeably distorted, and the rings formed by the ripples continued to expand. Xingji quickly picked up his planetarium, which was now glowing slightly, as if rejoicing at the appearance of the real starry sky.

But Xingji couldn't be happy, because she saw countless stars fall in the next moment, as if they had been casually thrown away, flying all the way to the east.

Chapter 36 The Beginning of the Terra Changes

The moon, Terra has always had two moons, no one knows what the starry sky looked like in the past, and few people have ever looked up to contemplate the vastness of the starry sky.

As one of the few nations on Terra that has not experienced a break in its civilization, Agor's scientific development over the long years has naturally led them to master the basics of physics. Therefore, they are most aware of the impact that the existence of two moons would have on the continent of Terra. However, what is puzzling is that the two moons did not cause any abnormalities at that distance, as if one of the moons was just an illusory reflection without any gravitational pull.

As the ripples in the starry sky occurred, a voice also echoed from within another moon in Terra.

The universe was vast and cold. After seeing the real starry sky that had not been seen for a long time, the stargazers of Terra did not rejoice for long, because everyone witnessed the falling of stars.

The memories dormant in the ancient bloodline were awakened. As the oldest species on the continent of Terra, even the youngest and most diluted Sarkaz could feel the fear of being gripped by something in an instant. Those of divine bloodline had the same feeling.

Of course, to the people of Da Yan, they just thought it was something cool. Apart from the Imperial Observatory and a few special people, no one in Da Yan felt anything was wrong. Even Cecilia, the half-Sarkaz and half-Sarkaz, slept soundly. In fact, she was the least worried about being disturbed when she was with Mei Xue.

"how so……"

Kal'tsit's expression was more solemn than ever before, which completely surprised everyone. The land of Terra was not yet ready to face the truth behind the stars. Had the will behind the false star curtain noticed the anomalies on this land? And what actions would they take?

Stars fell into the sea, and huge waves swept in mercilessly. Fortunately, the coasts of Iberia and Da Yan were guarded by sirens. However, the Eastern Kingdom, which was still in the midst of internal strife, was completely stunned by this sudden accident. Such a huge tsunami could not be stopped. The residents on the coast were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly woken up and made to run away.

"Interesting! This world is getting more and more interesting!"

Under these circumstances, Levy, the mad scientist, was actually quite excited. When he first came to this world, he was very interested in the physical laws, physical properties and chemical reactions here, and he was also interested in the species on this planet.

When he realized that this world was not only not backward, but might even be much more advanced than his original world, the fervor of a scientific researcher drove him to think about the many irrationalities of this world: how there were two moons but no gravitational problems, how there were human-like forms but also strange racial characteristics.

Moreover, if things really come to a head, cats and dogs are one thing, but why are there fantasy creatures like dragons and unicorns? And what kind of people are these so-called divine beings?

"Similar appearances, yet different racial characteristics, I see... The evolution of life cannot be so contradictory, this is man-made!"

Looking at the meteors falling like rain across the sky, Levi finally understood that the humans of Terra were not the result of natural evolution; there were factors of human intervention involved. This was one of the many hypotheses proposed by the Sirens, but it was only today that it was confirmed.

A meteor streaked into the sea, its dazzling light illuminating the entire ocean. The swarm of sea creatures sensed the threat and cried out: Isamara, where are you? The swarm is in danger, the swarm needs you!

All the sea creatures within a hundred kilometers of the Stone Forest chose to die in a short moment. Unlike hibernation, after realizing that their capture would lead to the destruction of the entire group, the sea creatures decisively chose to self-destruct in order to preserve the survival of the entire group.

This is a crisis that no large group can face. No matter how the Sealings evolve, even if one day they evolve to the point where they can freely migrate as if the sky and even the universe were the ocean, this is still an existence that they absolutely cannot confront head-on.

“The multitude is calling me… Laurentina, the Sea Heirs are in fear.”

Skadi, or rather Isamara, covered her head. The call from the Sea Sith stirred the blood within her. The Deep Sea Hunters were originally created by Agor based on the Sea Sith's genes. Otherwise, Skadi could not have become Isamara's consciousness vessel. Although the Sea Sith's large group had been searching for her, they didn't care that Isamara was slacking off and hanging out with Mei Xue. After all, it wasn't the first time.

But now the situation is urgent, and the ocean where Hai Si is located has become the first point of crisis. Isamara knows what it is, but she did not expect it to be in the sea.
