Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Estia suddenly stopped thinking about anything and opened the door, wanting to rush out.

But the endless void outside brought her back to her senses. It was hard to say what would happen if she stepped into the void. Estia stood by the door, hesitating. She felt a deep fear of the void.

"What's going on outside...?"

Yunia, warming herself by the fire in the room, spoke to Estia after a long while: "The world has been destroyed, we are all dead."

"W-what..."

"There is no life left in the whole world; we are all dead."

"Yunia?"

Estia thought of the girl's name.

"We are all dead."

"..."

She was just mechanically repeating the same words, and Esther knew she couldn't communicate with her.

Ye Qingxian, Ye Qingxian, this name...

Facing the void outside, Esther couldn't help but clench her fists. She realized that she was in the process of divination, which meant that what she was seeing was probably an illusion.

In that case... she'll go out!

At this moment, Estia was filled with determination. She opened the door to the room, faced the deep void outside, and stepped out without hesitation.

Then her body began to fall. Since there was nothing to support her, it was as if she were falling from the sky, except that she would never land.

A sense of fear gradually rose in her heart. Esther tried her best to fight against the fear with her will. She closed her eyes and thought of Ye Qingxian, Neytisa's mother, and those who could give her hope.

The seed deep within my heart has blossomed, its light shining so brightly in this endless void.

"Gu..."

Some white orbs of light shot out from Estia's body, and then her entire body began to show strange patterns.

"Ouch...it hurts! It hurts so much!"

At this moment, it felt as if thousands of knives were tearing through her flesh, and it was a pain that touched the depths of her soul, a pain that almost drove her to the brink of collapse.

"Hold on, child, this is the suffering you must endure..."

A voice, seemingly from nowhere, rang in her ears. It sounded very gentle, which greatly strengthened Esther's will to resist.

"Gurgle..."

Estia was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. It felt as if she had experienced the combined pain of everyone in the world, but even so, she remained conscious and didn't faint.

This was pure torture for her.

More orbs of light erupted from Estia's body, illuminating the surroundings and even banishing the void.

"..."

As Esther's body slowly descended, the pain subsided, and she felt an unknown force coursing through her body.

This force was much stronger than she had imagined.

As time passed, the pained expression on Esther's face disappeared, and she no longer felt any physical pain, but her heart ached more and more at this moment.

She remembered. She remembered all her memories from her past life. She was Estia, not just the Estia who grew up happily under the care of her mother Netissa, but also the Estia who built the Netherworld Dragon Abyss in the ruins of the Dragon Kingdom.

Ye Qingxian is her lover!

Her body was still falling, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She understood the image of Ye Qingxian, she understood it completely.

The passage between the new Faya world and the world where Ye Qingxian is located no longer exists.

Ye Qingxian devoted himself to scientific research in order to see her, but he died of old age without ever fulfilling his wish.

Upon realizing this, Esther completely broke down, because she knew that the person she deeply loved was dead.

Human lifespan is so short that by the time she recalls her memories, it is already too late.

Estya instantly lost the will to live. Ye Qingxian was dead. The lover she had sworn to live and die with was dead.

What's the point of her living?

For Neytissa's mother...

Family love briefly dissuaded Esther from her suicidal thoughts, but extreme grief nearly drove her to a mental breakdown.

Those happy memories of the past instantly turned into sad ones, because there was no going back. Ye Qingxian was no longer a person, and no one could bring her back...

"Child, do not be sad."

The gentle voice from before rang in my ears again, "You can do it, you can change this tragic ending."

What should I do?

Suddenly grasping at hope, Esther cried out.

However, the voice disappeared, and Esther suddenly felt a suction force, as if something was drawing her body in.

"Estella, you're all sweaty, are you alright?"

I heard Bierlan's voice in my ear.

Estia opened her eyes and saw the azure sky and the concerned expression on Birlan's face beside her.

The silver dragon girl was still in a daze.

"What was the result of the divination? Although it was the divination magic I cast, only you can see the specific details."

“I…I remembered my memories from my past life.”

The fusion of memories from her past and present lives made Esther's tone and actions seem contradictory.

In her past life, she lacked happiness and grew up amidst betrayal and persecution, which ultimately shaped her resolute and cold personality. However, in this life, she has never experienced any setbacks and is a well-behaved child enveloped in happiness.

"You can't react for a while, right?" Unexpectedly, Bielan understood Esther very well. "When I recalled my memories of my past life, I had the same reaction as you."

She suddenly took out a uniform from her personal storage equipment and changed into it in front of Estia.

"By...Byrland?"

Estia stared blankly at the scene.

"In my past life, I loved dressing like this because I missed my time at the academy."

Bierlan smiled, then her expression turned serious: "Right now, it seems that only you and I have recalled our experiences in the last world. I'm very curious to know how the last world was destroyed and what exactly happened back then."

"Has the world ended...?"

"Yes, when I did the divination, I only saw emptiness besides my own memories."

“Bierlan…”

"Cheer up, after all, you're not alone now. You have me, someone who knows the same thing, with you, Lord Estia of the Netherworld."

This statement implies that the Bielan before her is the same Bielan that Esther knew in her previous life.

Bierlan was her best friend in her past life, and the trust between them was even stronger than in this life.

"Let's find the truth together... At the same time, I also need to find a way to see Xiaoye, even though she is already dead."

In the end, Estia made up her mind.

Section 272, Question 257: Where is the hope?

Estia was incredibly lucky because she had Birlan, her capable assistant.

If she were to recover her memories on her own, she would be completely lost. However, the almost omniscient and omnipotent Archmage, Birlan, can provide tremendous help in many situations.

"First, I need to confirm one thing: how well are your memories recovering?"

"Bierlan said with a serious expression."

"My memory has been restored to 100%."

"Very good...in that case..."

"How can we find a way to save Xiaoye? Is there any magic that can take us back to the past?"

Estia was already impatient. Although she was happy in this world, she had lost the happiness that came from her lover.

She believes that going back to the past is the most likely possibility.

"Although in theory there is an endless spacetime, unfortunately, I am not an omnipotent god and do not have the ability to travel through time."

As if to avoid discouraging Estia, Birlan added, "However, I will try to find a way. Although I can't judge how likely it is, I won't say 'impossible' outright."

"Thank you for your help, Birland."

“There’s more bad news,” Birlan sighed. “I can see the past, and I can see the future. This world will face annihilation in the future.”

"What……"

"A calamity will invade this world and destroy it... Our previous world may have been destroyed for the same reason."

"A jinx... he's like a persistent ghost."

“Your mother Netissa is doing the right thing now, bringing peace to all races on the continent of Faya and avoiding endless internal strife that could damage the defenses of the Faya world.”

Bierlan greatly approved of Netissa's approach, believing that a peaceful and united world with less war would be more conducive to resisting invasions from outsiders.

However, Estia held a pessimistic view: "Bierlan, it is indeed a good thing that there is no war between all races, but because there is no war, everyone has disbanded their armies, and the research and development of various weapons has stopped. Can such a world really better resist invasion?"

"..."

Bierlan fell silent; this was indeed a problem that needed to be considered.

While peace brings comfort, it can also make people complacent and forgetful of danger. If the world has not experienced the baptism of war for many years, its fighting capacity will decline drastically.

"Take your time to think it over. I am a dragon, and you are a grand mage. We both have very long lifespans."

Speaking of lifespan, Esther felt heartbroken. Ye Qingxian, a human, had already passed away before her, an ending she simply couldn't accept.

"By the way, during my deep divination session earlier, I heard strange noises, and then I felt a surge of power within me. Could you check it out for me?"

The present-day Estia is not the dragon lord of her past life who would stop at nothing to become stronger in order to seek revenge. In this life, she grew up in happiness and comfort, and her strength is also a matter of fate. Although her royal bloodline makes her exceptionally talented, she is still not even one-tenth as good as she was in her past life.
