The sound of flipping pages echoed through the tall hall, as if a thousand books were being turned at the sa ti, with the noise of the wind accompanying the pages.
In the center of the hall, a beam of light, carrying a holy halo, shone down, illuminating the grayish-blue stele at the center. The golden-embossed writing on it glowed with radiant splendor, and then the pages turning in front of the stele suddenly stopped.
At the beginning of the book's margin appeared "Year 1270 of the Sixth Era, Year of the Commitnt"
This line of words seed to burn with golden flickers and then turned into plain black letters. Subsequent lines, similarly burning with golden flickers of lettering, erged below.
"Ancient Stars"
"Turning Fate"
"Three Keys Unlocked"
"Ever-Blooming Flowers"
"Must Bloom in Your Eyes"
"Oh Winds of the Four Seasons"
"Please Sing for "
"Sing of the Hero who Wields the Fla Spear"
"Sing of the Witch who Sank into the Deep Sea"
"Sing of the United Three Saints"
"Sing of the Stopped Steel Symphony"
"Awakening Ti and Again in the Rising Sun"
"Hesitating Footstep"
"Tears and Joy Interweave into a Colorful Canvas"
"Sing of Rebirth of Life"
...
As each line of writing burned with golden flickers, they gradually dimd, as if washed by ti, quickly fading until they left yellowed writing on the pages.
An invisible brush continued downwards, revealing new silver writing, as if various agile fairies danced across the script, only to vanish quickly again.

On July 30th, the sorrowful news spread like flying birds from the Hemu Star Domain to all major Star Domains.
As the most powerful Songstress in the Rose Federation, "Decamanga Sun" Blanchi passed away in the hall of Rose Palace.
She was like a brilliant Jiao Yang streaking across the sky, illuminating the western lands, and her achievents are rembered by all the residents of the Western Star Region.
Upon receiving this news, people across the Rose Federation were in disbelief. However, shortly thereafter, the Golden Fla Grand Cathedral officially announced the obituary, and major Star Domain flag-lowering mourning ceremonies were held. This marked the largest mourning event for a Songstress since the "Cobalt Blue Tears" Emuralin.
Regarding Blanchi's passing, many harbored doubts. After all, she was too young to die of old age. However, the upper echelons of the Western Star Region collectively kept the details confidential, just explaining that Blanchi died from overwork. Before her passing, Blanchi had given multiple speeches and made arrangents, ensuring the Western Star Region's stable operation without imdiate collapse.
On August 5th, a grand morial ceremony was held in the Hemu Star Domain. At the ceremony, the young Songstress of the Western Star Domain, "Yellow Jade Garlic" Arosa, cradled Blanchi's glass urn of ashes, protected by a group of Song Festival mbers, placing it in the Golden Light Hall. Originally constructed for soldiers sacrificed in the civil war ten years ago, now Blanchi was also laid within the central coffin of the hall.
Throughout the entire ceremony, broadcasts or retransmissions took place on all inhabited star space stations of the Western Star Region and even on distant Starships. Trillions of residents simultaneously mourned as tears and cries reverberated continuously.
Even after the mourning ceremony ended, many still couldn't believe such a young, powerful Sunshine-level Songstress would pass away so prematurely. More believed it was due to incurable hidden injuries from the battle a decade ago, unpublicized to avoid impacting the Western Star Region's developnt.
This explanation quickly garnered acceptance as Blanchi's advancent speed was rather phenonal, surpassing previous records. Without a price, it would have been puzzling. However, few knew what secret technique allowed a Songstress to advance so quickly, which beca a secret greatly sought after by so.
In Blanchi's absence, the ten-year-old Songstress "Yellow Jade Garlic" Arosa succeeded her position. According to Blanchi's arrangents, three forces now surround Arosa, providing protection until she genuinely becos capable of governance.
The first is the "Marquis Court," composed of representatives from various Star Domains of the Western Star Region, representing local forces of each Star Domain.
The second is the "Commander Court," composed of military representative officers from the Western Star Region, representing the will of each fleet.
