'Is that so? Then you might be disappointed.'
'But...' The girl lowered her head and gently bit her lip.
'I can't do anything else either.'
'I'm rather clumsy, not as smart as my sister, nor as outgoing, and I'm very timid...' Her voice grew weaker and weaker.
'I'm afraid to compete with others; I can't win against them...'
Hearing Tilan's response, the hazy figure lovingly embraced her.
'No, there will be soone who likes you, you don't have to compete with others. Just hold onto what is yours, and you can be very happy.' The hand gently stroked Tilan's back, comforting her fragile heart.
'One day, you will gradually grow up and do many things you couldn't do before.'
'At that ti, you will no longer fear the problems you face today, and you will be able to freely express your personality without fear of any gaze.' The mother's gentle voice confidently spoke, gradually building strength in the deepest part of her heart.
'I approve of you, you're my favorite child, even more so than Temisia.' The voice was slightly choked, as if there were emotions that couldn't be let go.
'You will succeed, even in the face of rejection and disbelief from many people.'
'At that ti, you will no longer have today's hesitations and worries. What choice will you make then?'
'I want to be a gentle person like Mom.' The sa response, but this ti the voice was sincere and calm.
'Sotis I'm very scared. I also know that so classmates, like , are afraid of being bullied by others—they feel sad and shed tears just like .'
'So, to avoid such things, I want to beco a gentle person like Mom, to offer them comfort and encouragent, and to protect them.'
'Because protecting them is also protecting my past self, they will beco happy like .'
'You are a very kind child.'
'Oh, is this what kindness is?'
'Then I also want to beco a kind person.'

Deep in the Soul Consciousness, the purple and blue vortexes spun to their limit, blending together until they beca one color, a transparent and ethereal hue.
The dimd eyes once again regained their luster, and the broken body that had lain on the ground transford into stardust, rising up.
They rushed to gather towards the singularity in the air, not only from the light points in this room but also countless light points crossing the void, coming from distant ends of the Star River, unknown corners of space, forgotten dusty places, imprisoned confinents.
These splendid cerulean and dark purple light points all rged into that hazy human shape, becoming a part of the brightness, until in an instant, all the light converged, and the blurred human figure solidified.
Smooth and flowing black hair gently floated in the air, and those eyes, like the Star River swirling, slowly opened, unstained by dust.
With her toes gently touching the ground, the awakened Tilan, in a pure white dress, stood before the crying and remorseful man.
"'Hexia' is the result agreed upon by Hephaestymo and Loranshia in the past epoch."
"Doing this to her is wrong."
"Skipping classes, avoiding, are not the right choices." The girl gently shook her head, her smooth hair swaying softly with the movent.
"You are more childish than I imagined, Father."
"I…" The man looked up in disbelief, gazing at the girl who had returned to life, his face full of astonishnt.
"Even though you don't approve of , I will still call you that, because I am already a mature adult." The girl slowly walked past him, like a gentle breeze.
"Stop tornting yourself, you could always turn back, couldn't you? Just call once, tell everything from those years."
"But I…" The man gazed at his rough and aged hands, no longer youthful and strong.
"Yes, you're old, afraid of facing past mistakes, so you choose to tear them apart again and again until self-destruction."
"I am very grateful for the timid and self-abased when I was a child, allowing to easily admit mistakes, then reflect on them and slowly grow."
"Yet so people stubbornly persist, fearing the consequences of admitting their mistakes, thinking that admitting mistakes ans acknowledging their weakness, being bullied, being slighted."
"This is actually another form of cowardice and avoidance, and maybe I should realize, even parents may not be more resolute and strong than us."
"I dearly want to reminisce with you, ask you about the story of how you and Mom fell in love, and tell you about my experiences over the years, and things about my sister."
"Unfortunately, I fear I have no ti today."
"Don't you bla ?" The man dejectedly lowered his head.
"I do bla you, and do want to retaliate severely, but if you die here, it will be hard for to vent the grief of all these years."
"You have committed many sins, so you must live to atone for your past actions. I will also supervise your future deeds until the resentnt in my heart dissipates." Having said that, her figure disappeared from the room, leaving only the lost and dejected man.
...
The ruined tower of the valley
When the crimson Particle Torrent pierced through the top, countless terrified screams and the sound of people fleeing echoed around the area.
At the edge of the remaining cavity, the lted dark red glaze slowly dripped, emitting a slight sizzling sound.
"I, everyone…" Biao Xing struggled to stand up from the corner, and at this ti his body was scorched all over, the pain tearing at his nerves.
