Looking at the moon in the sky, Esther recalled her unrealistic dreams from her childhood.

Land-dwelling races yearn for the sky, while sky-dwelling races yearn for an even higher sky.

As a child, Estia used her ability to fly, desperately trying to reach the moon.

However, she ultimately failed. As she gained altitude, she gradually felt unable to breathe and was eventually forced to return to the ground.

Looking back on my childhood now, I realize how adorably silly I was. The moon is just the moon, and there's no difference between these two moons and the myriad stars. How could there possibly be anyone on them?

Section 268, Chapter 253: Those Who Died for Me

Estia sensed something was wrong, because under normal circumstances, if she slept from noon until night, her stomach would definitely be growling loudly.

But now she doesn't feel hungry at all. What does that mean? It means the timing is completely wrong!

Estia always trusted her stomach; it was her best "partner" in the world.

Gazing at the starry sky, the silver dragon girl channeled the magic within her, causing it to soar into the air and explode like fireworks.

This is her emergency distress signal. Whenever she encounters a crisis or something she cannot understand, she only needs to send out this signal, and she will receive a response from the Dragon Clan Royal Guard within 1 minute.

However, as time passed, she did not receive any dragons.

The red and dark moons in the sky showed no abnormalities, but the stars began to change, forming a mysterious pattern before Esther's eyes.

Almost instantly, Esther felt as if her soul had left her body, and her body no longer belonged to her. She wanted to speak and control her body, but she couldn't do anything.

Her body gradually flew towards the sky, something she had always dreamed of achieving, and she never expected it to come true at this moment.

The stars in the sky drew closer and closer to Esther, until she finally stopped in front of one of them.

The stars transformed into a giant mirror, reflecting Estia's image. Although she looked exactly the same, her aura was completely different.

Estia even felt a pang of sympathy for her reflection in the mirror. The girl in the mirror exuded a palpable loneliness, which was completely different from the real Estia.

What's with the silver dragon girl in the mirror? I feel so familiar with her, yet I don't recognize her...

Estia stared blankly at the mirror, instinctively reaching out to touch it, but something seemed to be blocking her, causing her hand to recoil as if electrocuted.

Click!

The mirror suddenly shattered, and the silver dragon girl in the mirror disappeared. The light before Esther's eyes also disappeared, and she was plunged into endless darkness.

In the darkness, she heard a woman's voice in her ear.

The voice seems to be the woman's monologue, expressing her inner thoughts.

"Estella, I must see you again..."

He actually said his own name? Whose voice is that?

"It's so difficult... so difficult, how can I come back to your world..."

The woman's tone was filled with despair, as if she had encountered something very difficult.

"I don't want to be separated from you. Although I can't find any hope, I want to see you again..."

Gradually, the woman's voice changed from childish to mature, and then to aged.

Eventually, the voice completely transformed into a hoarse and weak old man's voice.

"Estella... Hehehe... I'm so old now, it seems I won't see you before I die... But that's alright, when you, young and beautiful, see me, old and frail, will you still like me?"

"I'm so unwilling to accept this... Human lifespan is just too short... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Estya was affected by the emotions in these words, and she began to feel sad.

Who is saying these things...? Why am I feeling so bad? Why do I feel so regretful...?

Suddenly, another star appeared before her, transforming into a mirror. This time, the person in the mirror became a girl who was both familiar and unfamiliar to Esther.

That was the stranger named Ye Qingxian, whom she had seen many times in her dreams.

The girl in the mirror was wearing a white lab coat and glasses, and looked extremely tired.

The scene then shifts, showing her rapidly aging appearance, eventually transforming her into an elderly woman leaning on a cane.

Almost instantly, tears welled up in Estia's eyes. She felt a pang of heartache, even though she had never had any real interaction with this human.

After the world of Faya was reset, Ye Qingxian returned to the virtual world called Earth. It turned out that she was actually a survivor of the Earth Federation, and that the "Earth" she had lived on since childhood was the real virtual world.

The real world is a scorched wasteland at the end of the world. After the survivors wake up, they can only move around underground. Therefore, no one wants to stay in reality. They all choose to stay in the virtual reality simulation of Earth.

The physical body in reality will still age. Ye Qingxian wanted to see Estia, but no one could send her soul to the Faya world through virtual reality equipment. In other words, she could no longer go to the Faya world to see Estia.

Ye Qingxian had hoped that Esther would travel the world to see her as before, but she waited for a year, two years, three years, five years, and still did not see Esther.

So she decided to study hard, explore the mysteries of virtual reality devices, and try to find a way to travel to the world of Faya.

But no miracle happened, her hopes gradually shattered, and her health deteriorated early on due to her tireless research.

Ultimately, she never saw even a glimmer of hope before she grew old and died.

"Estella... I know how far apart we are. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't travel between worlds... I've devoted my whole life to research, but I still haven't achieved anything... I hope you're doing well... Don't miss me."

These were the words Ye Qingxian wanted to convey to her beloved before she died. How she wished that Esther would hear them, how she wished...

The mirror in front of her shattered and disappeared again. Estella instinctively reached out her hand, and her head began to throb.

"Ye, Ye Qingxian... Ye Qingxian..."

What exactly is this name...?

"Waaah...why am I feeling so...uncomfortable...I feel so bad..."

Estia's distress wasn't physical, but heartbreaking. She had grown up happily as a dragon princess and had never suffered any injustice. Although she had cried before, it was always for childish and trivial things, just like a child throwing a tantrum.

But at this moment, she was in pain from the bottom of her heart, and her soul was crying out. Although she knew nothing, she felt as if she had lost something very important and precious.

In another world, there is a person who desperately wants to see her, even if it costs him his entire life and he has to do everything in his power to meet her.

Ultimately, this person failed to fulfill his wish and passed away in pain and resentment.

Estia stretched her hand forward, but all she could see was a dark void, and she couldn't touch anything.

Is something wrong...? Is there something I've forgotten?

The seed that Ling left in Estia's body back then has taken root and sprouted at this moment. Estia's sorrow and confusion have nourished it, and its power has gradually begun to be unleashed.

This is a seed called hope, and only it can change everything.

Estia was unaware of the hope growing within her.

Section 269 Group: 10②00③7⑨9② 254 Draw your lover on paper

"Whoosh..."

The silver dragon girl woke up under the tree, drenched in sweat. The sky was blue and white as usual, and judging from the position of the sun, it was only afternoon.

Occasionally, a few black shadows would fly across the ground; these were created by the giant dragons that passed overhead. This was the dragon kingdom, and dragons often flew through the sky.

Estia found her clothes soaked and felt extremely panicked. As she gradually recalled what had just happened, a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart again.

A human named Ye Qingxian keeps appearing in her dreams. Who exactly is this person...?

Since the other party was human, Esther decided to write to one of her human friends to ask her what was going on.

Although her mother forbade her to travel, she had been planning for the future for a long time, asking her dragon companions who could travel to help her build connections, which would make it much easier for her to travel in the future.

With her noble status as a dragon princess, it was easy for Estia to make acquaintances with powerful figures. The person she was writing to this time was a high mage named Birlan. Although he was human, he was extremely skilled in magic and was hailed as a being who could rival the gods.

She wanted to ask Birlan if there was any divination or magic that could help her find out Ye Qingxian's identity. After her previous experience, she could no longer ignore the name Ye Qingxian.

After writing the letter in her bedroom and handing it to her dragon companion who was allowed to go out, Esther continued to stare blankly in her room, pondering who Ye Qingxian really was, while also recalling the scenes she had witnessed earlier.

She tried to tell herself it was a dream, but her intuition told her it wasn't, because if it were a nightmare, her emotions wouldn't have been so intense.

During dinner, Neytisa noticed at a glance that Esther was in a bad mood and asked with concern, "My daughter, is something on your mind?"

No.

Estya didn't want her mother to worry, and on the other hand, she felt that she was grown up and no longer a child, so she should be able to handle everything independently. Unless she encountered something she couldn't handle, she wouldn't seek her mother's help.

Neytisa could tell her daughter was troubled, but since her daughter didn't want to tell her now, she wouldn't force her to. However, she would pay closer attention to her daughter's situation in the future.

"By the way, in order to promote the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence between dragons and other races, a human delegation will be visiting tomorrow. They are all celebrities and powerful figures among humans."

Neytisa changed the subject and started talking to Esther about tomorrow's schedule.

"Human visitors? Then welcome them."

Estya seemed listless and didn't care about the matter at all.

"You'll be attending the welcome banquet tomorrow too."

"why?"

Estia didn't understand. In the past, such matters had nothing to do with her; the Dragon Kingdom's diplomatic department would handle the reception.

"The main reason is that one of the visitors tomorrow is a human archmage named Bierlan. Her mastery of magic is among the best in the entire continent. I hope she can carefully examine your magical aptitude. If she can give you some guidance, you will avoid many detours in the future."

Neytissa was also thinking of her daughter's best interests. Birlan was known as the Great Archmage of Heaven and Earth, and was not someone she could meet whenever she wanted. Neytissa was quite surprised that Birlan was on the list of visitors, so she was even more determined not to miss this excellent opportunity.

When Estia heard that Bierlan was coming to visit, her eyes lit up. This way, she wouldn't even need to send a letter; she could discuss Ye Qingxian's matter with Bierlan in person the next day.

Her mother was unaware that she actually knew Bielan, and Esther would not tell her mother about this for the time being. She wanted to give her mother a surprise in the future, so that her mother would know that even if her daughter stayed at home, she could still build a wide network of connections.

When Neytissa saw that her daughter's mood had suddenly improved, her worries lessened considerably. Perhaps her daughter was just upset about something trivial, and the fact that she became happy upon learning of the opportunity to communicate with magic meant that the problem wasn't serious.

"Speaking of which, Mother, when will Father wake up?"

Estya has never seen what her father looks like since she was born.

Her father suffered from a disease that, while not life-threatening, meant he could only remain in the ground. Her mother said that her father's illness would heal itself, but she didn't know how long it would take. Once he was cured, he would be able to emerge from the ground.

Estia didn't react much to this, because dragons are long-lived species. She hadn't even been born for thirty years, while her mother had lived for nearly three thousand years. Time was insignificant to long-lived species.

Therefore, asking when his father would wake up was just a casual remark that would occasionally be made at the dinner table.

Although she was curious about her father's appearance, Esther was willing to wait.
