Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

"Can you answer one question for me? As someone who walks that path, can you tell me..."

Why are we born into this world only to die?

Huang Quan walked back to Sha Jin's side, his tone becoming gentle.

“You said that sleep is a rehearsal for death. Why does life sleep? Because we are not ready to face death.”

"So you can understand why we want to be prepared."

"Even if the ending is already predetermined, it doesn't matter. There are too many things that people can't change."

"But before that, there is still a lot that people can do on the way to the end."

"And the ending... will therefore take on a completely different meaning." (Red)

[Rin: This is truly the gentlest episode in the Underworld.]

[Nasita: The one who walks the path of nothingness, the anti-nothing, otherwise she would have been swallowed up long ago.]

Clara: My older brother and sister are so pitiful.

[Gold Sand: Even if the ending is predetermined, should we still choose our own path?]

Is it worth it for the company?

[Jade: That's the path he chose; we should just trust him.]

"Look into your pockets, your friend has already given you the answer. ...Good luck."

This time, Huang Quan has truly left.

Sand Gold looked down and reached out to pull out the medical prescription.

Yes, Latio gave it to him.

The impossible in a dream is not death, but slumber.

Live on. Good luck.

After reading the doctor's instructions, Sha Jin smiled knowingly.

Thank you, Professor.

[Zhe: Professor! Wow, how did he figure that out? He's so smart.]

[The value of Dr. Truth is still increasing; isn't this the antidote when all other options are exhausted?]

[Dr. Truth: Foolish, only realizing this now!]

[Gold Sand: Professor~, I knew you were the best to me.]

Paimon: Disgusting!

[Tinari: A trustworthy scholar.]

"Then I should go too."

Footsteps echoed through the water; it was Kakawasha.

"Sir. Are you leaving? In the end, you've chosen... to leave this dream?"

Frustration was evident on her small face.

Sand Gold sighed softly.

She whispered, "Yes. Because they're not here... Dad, Mom, Sister..."

Kakavasya asked, "Then where are they?"

The gold dust stared at the enormous black hole before it.

"They are in a place that everyone goes to, a very, very far place."

Kakawasha: "Are you going there too?"

"I will get there someday. But not now."

The gold dust closes its eyes in contemplation, revealing a sense of nostalgia.

“There will come a day when the rain falls again, I will hear the call of the Mother Goddess, and I will know that the appointed time has come, and I should go and reunite with my family.”

"So I should be prepared before that moment arrives."

Kakawasha: "Prepare what?"

"Prepare to face them, Kakavasya, and become their pride (the blessed son of the Mother Goddess)."

Kakawasha said earnestly, "I think you can do it. Good luck."

Sand Gold patted his chest, “Of course. Because I am a child blessed by the Mother Goddess.”

Kakawasha laughed cheerfully, "But you still look very nervous..."

"I think so too. Maybe only you can help me..."

"Let's have one last palm strike, shall we?"

Sand Gold took off his hat, knelt down next to Kakavasya, and reached out to touch the child's blond hair.

Kakawasha looked completely satisfied, like a little kitten.

Are you about to leave?

Two hands, one large and one small, facing each other.

May the Mother Goddess close her eyes for you thrice.

May your blood forever beat.

Always be at ease on your journey.

The trick will never be exposed.

The gold dust faced the black hole without turning back, one hand raised high and swaying left and right.

A clear child's voice rang out.

"We will meet again under the aurora borealis in Kakawa."

Kakavasya held the hat in his hand, which then turned into specks of light and scattered.

The hat was swept into the sky along with the twinkling starlight.

Goodbye, Kakawasha.

[Star: Goodbye, Kakawasha.]

[Firelight: Goodbye, Kakawasha.]

[Ring: Goodbye, Kakawasha.]

Goodbye, Kakavasya.

Say goodbye to the past and create your own future!

Topa: "The brilliance of the aventurine... has vanished."

Chapter 52 Star Core Hunter Sam - Firefly

Jade's clear and steady voice rang out, "He kept his promise... and got what he wanted."

Toppa sighed with regret.

"As planned, your foundation stone has been successfully delivered to the family's territory. So—"

Jade: "Let's fulfill our duty and begin the harvest."

Deep within the dreams of the star of the grand event,

Another jade stone began to shine.

“I have come to pay my respects, I have come to add wine, I have come to possess.”

"I bestow poison upon the sweet dew, sow in spring and harvest in autumn, and wait patiently for the withered fruit to fill the branches."

"All is dedicated to... Amber King."

[Zhe: Sand Gold just left the stage, and here comes another one! And they went all out!]

[It's Lady Emerald; the Pinocchio mission is nearing completion.]

[Keqing: Was everything planned out from the start? Even if the gold rush fails, jade will still make a strong entry.]

Gan Yu: Placer Gold provided an irrefutable reason for the company's involvement.

[Nekota: (＞^ω^＜) Meow, there are actually nine more as strong as Sand Gold, and they're only in the Strategic Investment Department!]

[Haha, now you know how powerful our Interstellar Peace Company is! Joining now comes with five social insurances and one housing fund. Limited positions available, so act fast!]

[Family members: It's over, we can't escape the company after all!]

[Nicole: Can you take in people from other worlds? Everyone at our Rabbit House is a genius.]

[Jade: Of course! We're just about to launch our otherworldly business and we're short-staffed.]

[Varesa: If I hang fruit in the rice bowl, will anyone buy it?]

[Hu Tao: It's all covered! My coffins are selling like hotcakes, I'm no longer worried about not being able to pay my guests' bills!]

[Zhongli:...]

Deep within the realm of memory at the same time.

Xing tried to open her eyes, but all she could see was darkness.

Am I fighting against gold dust alongside the Yellow Springs?

With a bang, I've arrived here.

I really want to see a cluster of firelight.

He pulled me into his arms.

Let's get out of here first, no matter what.

Xing struggled out of the darkness, her eyes somewhat bewildered.

Electronic music with a strong metallic feel began to play.

"...You're awake."

Sam was seen standing not far away with his back to the star.

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

[It's Sam again! What exactly is the Star Core Hunter trying to do with capturing stars?!]

[Ring: Sam saved Xing, okay? Besides, Huang Quan said he meant no harm.]

Xing: "It was you... What did you do?"

“I did nothing, I just waited for you to wake up. You have already seen me, Starcore Hunter Sam.”

Sam should have appeared earlier, but was prevented from doing so.

Eleven attempts, all ending in failure.

Unbeknownst to him, Sam's connection with the world had become too close, making it difficult for him to escape the constraints of the script.

"I don't understand people's hearts as well as he and Kafka, nor do I have the skills of Silver Wolf and Blade. Most of my skills are only applicable to villains who do not need mercy."

Sam's tone gradually lowered as he spoke.

Therefore—I only have one method at my disposal.

"That's to show you..."

The Sam mech randomly disintegrates into a fiery spinning arc.

A figure emerged from the flames.

Xing's eyes widened in disbelief.

Liu Ying held the transformation device in her hand and turned to look at Xing.

"...My everything."
