"Like being baptized by spring rain, the silvery snowflakes brought vibrant life to the scarred land."
"On that day, the sky returned to its clear blue, the clouds melted away their anger, and holy light shone upon all things."
“Tender shoots sprout from the scorched earth, and dried-up streams are nourished once again.”
"The barren farmland, which had been impoverished by the weather, blossomed and bore fruit, and the woodland, which had been scorched by hellfire, was revitalized."
"The corrupted dead that ravaged the earth have returned to peace, and the plague-stricken patients have recovered their health."
"The seven-day chapter of world destruction was finally turned into a score of salvation on the fourth page."
"All living beings around the world shed their illnesses and scars, and they sing to the sky, praising this hard-won peace, and to the heroes and saints who overcame all obstacles and wrote the final chapter of this legend."

half year later.
Saint Ararat, Gulf Harbor, Anning Lane Monastery.
Alina sat on the wooden chair and finished reading this chapter of the story added to the new holy book. All the children in the monastery listened intently.
The children blinked, seemingly unable to calm down for a long time, except for one little boy who opened his eyes wide and excitedly raised his hand, "Sister Alina! Sister Alina!"
"You said, Burz."
Alina smiled gently.
"So, how many girlfriends did that savior, Mr. Peander, actually have?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Alina's face twitched.
Alina is now a little taller than before, and like her sister, her eyes and brows have begun to have a unique charm.
Of course, she also became more familiar with the children in the convent, and was no longer as shy as before. Instead, she could openly pick up a feather duster and beat Burz from one end of the house to the other.
"Ahhh! I was wrong! I was wrong!!"
"Stop hitting me, Alina! Stop hitting me!! I was just curious!!!"
"Such a chatterbox! Such a chatterbox! I'd like to see how many heads you have to take a beating!"
"Alina!"
A soft exclamation came, and Alina stopped dusting herself with the feather duster.
"Wow ah ah!"
Shocked, Burz took the opportunity to run out of the corridor.
The visitor was Sister Margaret, who was now the owner of this convent.
With funds allocated by the Holy City for renovations, the monastery is now much larger and more beautiful than before.
Good afternoon, Miss Margaret.
Alina put away the feather duster and immediately transformed into a harmless and obedient person again.
"Thank you for your hard work, Burz is being naughty again."
Margaret smiled gently, then handed a white letter to Alina. "It seems to be a letter for you."
"Thank you."
Alina politely accepted the letter, opened it, glanced at it, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Sister Margaret looked at Alina's expression with curiosity.
"It's... um, a friend's wedding invitation."
Alina carefully folded the letter and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"A very close friend?"
"No! Um... I mean... sort of."
Alina hesitated somewhat awkwardly, "I probably won't be able to come next week."
Are we going to a very far place?
"Loren."
"Wow, that's really far."
Sister Margaret raised her head slightly, then smiled and said, "It's alright, go ahead without worry, I'll take good care of the children."
"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Miss Margaret!"
……
……
The headquarters of the Seven Stars Merchant Guild in the Loren Empire.
Ye Xiao was carefully adjusting the tie around his neck in front of the mirror. Now that the chaos had vanished, his body had returned to normal.
"Hey, Li Cheng, what do you think of this outfit?"
Wearing glasses and appearing inexplicably refined, Li Cheng looked up from his desk and sized him up.
"The clothes are pretty cool, Brother Ye, but they don't quite suit your style."
"Why don't you let the Holy Maiden take a look? To be honest, I think her taste is better than yours."
"Why don't you listen to what you're saying?"
Ye Xiao was speechless.
"I am not kidding."
Li Cheng waved his hand, "Look at the Saintess's outfit, the color scheme, how beautiful it is! Compared to that, your suit and slicked-back hair are really lacking."
"Those were chosen with the help of maids, how can they be the same!"
"Then you should also hire two maids."
"I'll ask the maid; I think you want to see me captured and thrown into the oil cauldron."
After staring at herself in the mirror for a long time, Ye Xiao still managed to mess up her hair. "Forget it, I'll just spend some money to get someone to redesign it."
"Where's your maid? Why don't you ask her to take a look?"
"Greedya's aesthetic sense... well, forget it."
Ye Xiao's lips twitched. "Do you want to see me get married with pigtails?"
Chapter 279 The Last Letter
"Hey, it's not impossible, anyway, the Holy Maiden won't mind."
Li Cheng smiled.
"No, she minds it."
Ye Xiao replied decisively.
As the two were talking, a spatial ripple suddenly appeared in the room without warning.
A man with short, curly black hair emerged from the crack.
"Ok?"
When Ye Xiao saw the person who had arrived, he paused for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce killing intent.
He vanished from his spot in an instant, grabbed the other person's collar, and raised his fist to strike.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't hit me, bro!! That punch of yours will splatter my brains to pieces!!"
It's no wonder Ye Xiao reacted so strongly, because the person who came was none other than Kronos, a time-space mage who previously belonged to Lydia's faction.
However, Cronus didn't seem to be asking for a beating; he raised his hands and begged for mercy without showing any hostility.
"Big brother, don't get excited. You've already beaten Lydia to a pulp. If I come here to fight you, wouldn't I just be throwing my life away?"
"So, what's the matter?"
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, "By the way, how did I manage to forget about you back then?"
"Oh, how could I have had a chance to meet you back then? Julius cut my shirt open with two swords when we met, and when he saw that things were not going well, he just ran away."
Kronos carefully reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter. "Let's not dwell on that painful matter. This is what Lady Ysera asked me to give you."
"Ysera...the Dream Goddess?"
Ye Xiaosong loosened his collar, took the letter, and then belatedly realized something, "Wait a minute, so you're actually one of Dream God's people??"
"Yes, otherwise how would so many people know about the dirty deeds of the Dark Shepherds?"
Kronos straightened his clothes. "I also spared Hai during the battle beneath Nexus Town, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to leave so easily."
"What, are you saying you want to spar with me a couple more times?"
"Hey, no, no, 'times have changed,' that's how you say it in your local language, right?"
Cronosman waved his hand, "You are very strong now. Your former enemies are no longer worthy of your prowess."
"You talk as if you were my comrade-in-arms before."
Ye Xiao opened the letter. "By the way, how come you're working for the Dream God? Isn't the entire Eldridge family controlled by Lydia?"
“Yes, the way she manipulates our people is because she corrupted the soul of the clan leader, Elias.”
Kronos explained, "But... the reason she was able to corrupt Elias is because Lady Ysera intentionally broke a small part of the seal, giving her this opportunity."
"So it's quite simple that Lady Ysera, who had foreseen the situation, wanted to keep a spy like me."
Ye Xiao frowned upon hearing this. "Let me sort this out... You mean, Lydia was actually released by the Dream God??"
"I don't really know what Lady Ysera was thinking."
Kronos shrugged. "Actually, this letter has been with me for two years, but I was only asked to pass it on to you now."
"...Two years ago?"
Ye Xiao asked in surprise, "When was the last time you saw the Dream God?"
"After that world-ending war... I never sensed Lady Ysera's call again."
Kronos sighed softly. "Well, this letter is also the last task she gave me... I'm not sure if its contents can answer your questions, but that's all I know."
"The Dark Shepherd... the entire Eldridge family is gone."
Ye Xiao looked up at Kronos, "Have you decided where you're going?"
“Hey, don’t look at me like that, like I’m some kind of homeless, unstable, dangerous person who might retaliate against society at any moment.”
Kronos smiled helplessly. "The historical mission of the Eldridge family has been completed. Chaos has vanished, and I have no resentment about the end of my family."
"alright."
Ye Xiao's gaze softened slightly. "Anyway, you should know that if you dare to cause trouble, I can find you even if you run to the ends of the earth."
"Don't scare me, buddy. I just want to go to the Fisherman's Bar in the harbor, grab some fries, and get through this long and lonely rest of my life."
"Then I still suggest you find a girlfriend."
"Hey, does society really look down on single, unemployed people like that?"
"My personal opinion is that you're just talking nonsense. I think you really have antisocial tendencies."
"Just kidding."
Kronos scratched his head. "Seriously, I live much longer than the average person, so I can't find anyone suitable to keep me company."
"It's really tough for ordinary people, but you can always go to hell and find one."
Ye Xiao patted the other person on the shoulder, "That rift can't be closed. Aslan has recently established diplomatic relations with Hell. Maybe you could go and find a succubus princess or something to socialize with on behalf of humanity."
"What a hellish joke."
Kronos was a little tense. "But according to what you're saying, finding a non-human does make some sense."
