It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

"Let's say my hand is our world. Even though my memory isn't clear anymore, I still remember it being incredibly beautiful. It might not be as diverse and fascinating as yours, but it still possesses its own unique and wonderful qualities. There are also many peaceful races there."

"As for us fairies, we don't have to worry about food or territory, and our lives are generally quite peaceful. The occasional minor fights with other species are but fleeting moments in our long lives. A large part of our daily lives is spent playing tricks on others."

It sounds like a very idle and annoying race, Bai Lin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she didn't interrupt. Compared to these, there was obviously something more important to listen to.

"We lived and lived, passing this time mixed with boredom and joy. Suddenly——"

As she was speaking, Kiana clasped her hands together with a snapping sound. She smiled like a flower, but used the brightest tone to say the most terrifying words.

"The whole world, like a book, was folded together. Then, everyone died. Not a single scrap of the world was left. As far as I know, I was the only one who escaped."

"Huh? You're moving too fast with this story. This is totally unreasonable. Wait a minute, let me figure this out. Why is this happening? There's no sign of it at all?!"

Bai Lin certainly couldn't accept it. This was like a rock falling from the sky and suddenly killing the protagonist of a comic. It was a very outrageous and nonsensical statement. She was now confused and shocked, and even felt that Kiana was playing a trick on her. Kiana said lightly,

"No, not at all. A world was destroyed just like that."

"...It was destroyed. That must have been done intentionally by someone or something, right?"

Before Bai Lin could react, the poet asked. Kiana glanced at the poet, then nodded and commented,

"Well, I won't tell you exactly what destroyed it. After all, this is just a special reward, so it's reasonable to only tell you half of it—"

Chapter 774: When a dying man speaks kindly

"They say a dying man's words are good. You're almost dead, and you're still talking halfway?"

Bai Lin was not in a good mood either. After all, the other party had such a personality, so she was not polite when she said this. Kiana said with a smile,

"I'm being very kind of you to say so much. Otherwise, with your personality, you should play with me for the first time—um... about seven years. You're very interesting, and we fairies love playing with people like you."

Bai Lin felt a strange chill as soon as she heard this. Even though the other party said he didn't have the energy to play anymore, she still felt that the Fairy King should not be underestimated. She didn't want to torture such a little brat any more. So, after thinking for a few minutes, she changed the subject and replied,

"Hmm... That's really unreasonable. But according to you, your past life shouldn't have been boring, right? Why can't you remember it so clearly? Even if you can't remember many small things, you wouldn't use such an adjective."

This question seemed to touch Kiana's heart. She smiled, sighed slightly, and replied,

"The world itself has been destroyed. After arriving here, for a rootless wanderer like me, decline is only a matter of time. There is no place for me to belong anymore, not in this world, not in the world I created, not even in places farther away, not in other realms. In short, there is no place for me to stay."

"Even your impression of me will be distorted. I have no doubt that after you leave, you will still remember this conversation, my appearance, and my story. After all, even I am gradually forgetting."

"Look at those little spiders in Twilight Township. What are they calling me now...? The last time I heard it, it was Spider Goddess. It seems their image of me has evolved into a goddess who looks like them, with eight spider legs. Not that spider legs are bad, but I still prefer these wings."

"Of course, as you can see, I don't care much about this. I just mentioned it briefly. Some say the first death in the world is the demise of the physical body, and the second is the departure of the last person who remembers you. But our ending will be even more cruel. Not only will no one remember our names clearly, but even what we once left behind may belong to others in their memories. Even those little spiders who were close to my original body and stayed with me for a long time have become like this. It's not their fault, it's just that our predetermined ending is already like this."

At this point, the Fairy King's eyes deepened. Her expression became a little clearer. After finishing such a long string of words, she ended with this sentence:

"Perhaps, the moment the world was destroyed, that was the end of [—]." All that remains is me, still wearing the same body, adding to the story."

Although Kiana said, "The past is no big deal," her eyes and tone betrayed, for the first time, her own existence, the traces of time that had settled on her. The world she had lived in before was completely gone, so suddenly, as if it were a joke, erased. How could this be an ending anyone could accept? How could anyone completely forget?

She didn't dwell on the past anymore, perhaps because she knew there was nothing she could do. But even she couldn't completely let go of everything she once had, so she probably said such words.

At this moment, the poet stood up. She looked directly into the other person's slightly disturbed eyes and said very forcefully,

"No, your choice should not be denied."

The emotion in Kiana's eyes didn't last long. After hearing the poet's words, she tilted her head, regained her previous demeanor, and asked with interest,

"Oh? So, you know my story?"

"I know a thing or two. As the King of Fairies, enjoying your life instead of using it for wishes you don't even understand is not something worth criticizing. Even after coming here, your story doesn't stop."

"Take the case of Twilight Township, for example. While their world wasn't destroyed, as outsiders, they were rootless in this world. It was your help that helped them find their way. And you've probably already accomplished many things like this unconsciously."

The poet's calm and powerful words, along with her resolute eyes, were transmitted. She was probably encouraging the other person, although it seemed like she was encouraging a heartless dying person who didn't need encouragement. However, she just continued,

"You chose your own way of life, and at the same time, you provided this kind of help to this world. I cannot represent the lives of all the creatures in this world, but as an individual, your actions already deserve my gratitude. And..."

"The tragedy has already happened. As the one who survived, perhaps simply living out the rest of your life the way you wanted would already be a very good ending. It's definitely not a dog's tail to a marten, because the marten has been brutally torn apart. You simply exist, and until the day you completely disappear, you will still be the same you."

This wasn't the first time Bai Lin had heard the poet speak such inspiring words. After all, even when they first met, she'd felt a surge of energy from the poet's words. She understood those who needed encouragement, and she explained it in her own way. Perhaps she was just naturally adept at this.

Even Kiana couldn't completely ignore the poet's words. It was impossible to say that she had no emotions, but she only smiled faintly. She said,

"No need to thank me, I just did it out of interest. When I saw these very conservative and methodical little spiders looking lost in this world, I thought it was very interesting, so I helped them."

"I gave them a mirror, a direction for life, and taught them some culture, how to survive in this world, and some of the rules of this world. Of course, it's impossible to teach them all of this straight and proper; there's always a personal element involved."

Chapter 775 Happy Times

Kiana hesitated for a moment, as if trying to organize her words, and then continued with a smile,

"For example, their clothes. They wear those gothic ones outside and boyfriend shirts indoors. It looks good, right?! That's the rule I think."

"...You're really good at inflicting your XP on others."

Bai Lin was like this, and some couldn't help but complain. And Kiana quickly stretched out a hand, raised it to Bai Lin, and said quickly,

"Don't make a fuss for now, let me think about it, what else..."

She tapped her chin with one finger and looked elsewhere, as if she was thinking about something. Then she exclaimed slightly and said,

"Oh, right, it has to have the word 'Ya' in it. They all have to have it in their names. And they actually listened to all these requests and followed them! They're such an interesting bunch, that's why I left a clone here to protect them."

She held her chin, lost in thought, tilted her head, and finally looked at Bai Lin, chuckling softly.

"After all, you know that even if it's just a clone, I don't seem like the type to tolerate loneliness, right?"

"That's absolutely right. But your mood changes so quickly. Are you ready to share your inner journey with us now?"

"What's wrong? Isn't it obviously interesting? Isn't it nice to listen to it?"

"...It's quite amusing. It won't harm them anyway. I didn't expect your pranks to be so gentle."

Following Kiana's meaning, Bai Lin nodded and responded. Kiana also nodded with satisfaction, then leaned back slightly, took a breath, and said,

"That's why... even as an outsider to this world, even someone like me, I don't want to die. Although I've accepted this ending calmly, there are still people in this world who can't quite accept that future. I don't think it's something everyone needs to face."

"So, just do what you want to do, whether for these cute little spiders or for me. This is a once-in-a-lifetime, one-of-a-kind request from the Fairy King."

"..."

Feelings were meant to emphasize how adorable the sisters outside were, to make her heart flutter and work harder. Bai Lin was somewhat speechless, but she had to admit that after hearing their stories, the mystery and determination in her heart had increased significantly. However, what concerned her more was the blame of Kiana in front of her.

"They are indeed very cute, so cute that they don't really look like you, Kiana."

"Really? But this should be fine, right?"

"Oh, that's alright."

Bai Lin nodded slightly, once again affirming the Fairy King. Kiana took a breath, then pulled a small object from her sleeve and tossed it to Bai Lin. Bai Lin casually took it and put it back in his backpack.

"Take it. Maybe you can use it to call for help. A loser like me will probably recognize it."

Kiana said casually, it seems that this is one of the rewards for the mission. The poet was slightly inquiring and asked,

"You mean, the Dusk Gods?"

"I don't really like that name. I hate the meaning it represents, and those guys are probably responsible for disturbing the peace here. But having these two characters is pretty good..."

"She and I will remember it. She is the Holy Son. You should be able to see that, right?"

Kiana glanced at Bai Lin, then closed her eyes and smiled, shaking her head, as if she had let go of something. She said indifferently,

"Whether you remember my existence or not is not of my concern. Compared to the Holy Son, you have a familiar, yet indescribable, aura. May I ask, who are you—?"

"I'm just a bard. I just happened to be close to someone. After all, this profession isn't that uncommon in this world."

The poet answered briefly, and Kiana naturally did not pursue the matter any further. She sighed slightly and then replied,

"Okay, that's it. You should pack up and leave. Although Spider-Man and the others are safe now, you still have many enemies, so be careful."

Hearing Kiana suddenly become so serious, Bai Lin stopped arguing. She put her hands on her hips and then replied,

"Your concern is quite sincere, so I'll say something more serious in return. I won't forget you. And, for you and the little spiders you love, I will definitely save this world."

At that moment, thousands of words seemed to flash through their minds. Of course, none of them were unfamiliar with jokes. But in the end, Kiana just smiled softly and replied with two words.

"Thank you."

Then, between Kiana's raised hand and her smile, Bai Lin's vision faded once again. The birdsong, the fragrance of flowers, all the beauty was like a passing cloud, gone in an instant.

A hollow, void, infinitely extending aura that filled the entire world surrounded her. Before her eyes, a small red flower appeared.

The bright petals may seem fragile, but one can clearly see that even the wind and rain on the mountain cannot fade their color. No matter what, they will continue to bloom towards the morning sun.

Bai Lin seemed to sense a sense of not existing in this world. Just as she had done countless times before, she reached out, resonating with the flower. Then, her sight returned to darkness and silence.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the ceiling of the room that Lidamiya had arranged for Bai Lin and the others. Bai Lin quickly sat up. Although she had experienced so many things in her mind, her brain did not feel heavy from fatigue and thinking. She breathed in the air as naturally and smoothly as ever.

But the mood in my heart may not be that happy, but rather an indescribable complexity.

"It seems that you two are awake. Are you feeling unwell? Or do you need any help?"

Lidamia's voice rang out at the perfect moment. It seemed as if she had been standing by the bed where Bai Lin and the others lay, quietly guarding their bodies. Her tone, as always, was respectful, revealing a calm demeanor.

Bai Lin shook his head slightly, and then said,

"The matter has been resolved. In fact, someone inserted something into the mirror. After killing someone, it can directly trap their consciousness there. Now that the thing has been eliminated by us, if nothing unexpected happens, your people should all wake up."

As soon as these words came out, Lidamiya's expression showed a great ripple for the first time. In her silent and deep eyes, a wave of excitement like the glittering stars suddenly appeared. The corners of her mouth raised, and her whole body was in a state of great excitement. And she said with great joy,

"Really? Thank you so much—"

Chapter 776 News about her

"Don't be too quick to thank us. This isn't just our achievement. If you're anxious, go check on your people first to see if they're safe. If not, listen to me—"

At this point, Bai Lin turned his head and glanced at the poet who had also sat up. The poet also nodded slightly in greeting. So, Bai Lin continued,

"Let me first tell you about the information about your god in the mirror. We saw the clone left behind by the original master there."

"Have you seen the Goddess? Is there anything you need us to interpret for you, or... does she have an oracle to convey to us?"

Lidamia's attitude suddenly became more respectful than before. Although her slightly restless movements showed that she was a little anxious to see her tribesmen, she seemed to attach great importance to this aspect, so she asked. Bai Lin pondered for a moment and said melodiously,

"Probably, it's the latter—"

Bai Lin then recounted all the information related to the Fairy King Kiana to Lidamiya, including some of her original words. As she listened to these words, Lidamiya's expression shifted from shock to confusion, and finally returned to composure. Throughout, she never once raised a single question.

After listening, she seemed to be thinking about something and closed her eyes slightly. Then, she slowly said,

"Is that so...? So, we haven't even remembered what our own god is like. I never thought that the time that was a gift to us would be her last. I... I don't know what to feel now."

"The world was destroyed just like that. How absurd is that? Even the power of the gods is powerless to fight back? This is such a confusing event..."

Besides sighing, it was obvious that Lidamiya's emotions were fluctuating quite a bit. Her voice was trembling, but it was hard to tell whether she was angry, sad, or just sighing. Bai Lin slowly replied,

"As far as her original words are concerned, there was no warning, it happened in an instant, so naturally there was no time to resist, and no power to resist."

"Is that so? If it wasn't destroyed by anything, then there must be a special reason. While the Goddess seems playful, I don't think she'd use that as an excuse to withhold information from you."

Lidamia simply stated her opinion. Bai Lin waved his hand, smiled, and replied,

"It's definitely not like that. Maybe she herself doesn't know what it is, so she said that. This does seem like something she would do. Let's not consider this. There's no point in speculating on so many possibilities."

"Well, there are other things that require some judgment. For example, perhaps we should... find a way to remember the original appearance of the God. Or perhaps, seek revenge on the murderer who destroyed the world and rebuild the world of the God?"

Lidamiya looked thoughtful, her expression was so serious that Bai Lin was a little confused. She sighed, shook her head, waved her hand, and replied,

"You're truly bold! If you had that kind of ability, I'd really like you to do it. But, clearly, you don't. Your God said she doesn't care whether you're remembered or not, and she doesn't need you to repay her with such behavior. She only hopes that you choose a natural, personal way to live your life. Just like she's always done."

"This is her final oracle."

At this point, the eight spider legs behind Lidamia suddenly intertwined with each other. Her expression was solemn, and her hands were clenched into fists. In that gloomy tone, she slowly said,

"I...I can't accept it, honestly. God-sama suffered such a fate, and we are just going to rest here, forget all that, and live on without knowing anything?"

Facing such a violent emotional fluctuation, Bai Lin remained calm. She seemed to have expected all this. She just looked into his eyes and said slowly in a calm and cold tone,

"I'm telling you these things simply because I believe you have the right to know the truth, not because I want you to do anything. If you continue living your lives as before, your gods would surely smile happily if they could see you. There's nothing wrong with that."

"However, if you really have any ideas, you have to think them through. Otherwise, she will definitely be angry. Giving up your feelings for your lifestyle for her is not what she wants to see."

Lidamiya was also an understanding person. After taking a deep breath, she relaxed her tense nerves and returned to her previous state. She naturally raised her hands and bowed deeply to Bai Lin.

"I understand. In short, thank you very much. But as you said, living your life in your own way is the most important thing. Now is not the time to think about these things. Caring for our most important compatriots is the principle of our Twilight Township."

"What are your plans, you two?"

Even if it was indeed a little urgent, he would certainly not neglect his benefactor. But Bai Lin didn't need anything, so he waved his hand casually and said,

"No, go and do your own thing, we'll pack up and leave."

"Well, then, goodbye, both of you. If you need anything, you're always welcome to come here. The door to Twilight Township will always be open to you."
