"What do you think I should do, brother?" This ti, the girl in front of Malin chose a path that caught him off guard but also filled him with joy.
"Eat the fruit, purify yourself. If you want to help Da Huang, do this." In Malin’s view, if Zoe could truly complete the purification of herself, she and Da Huang would not be separated—they would both beco beings of the Celestial Realm.
It is not formatting, but purification.
"I am willing, I am willing to live, to live with the mories of my father and mother." The girl finished speaking, reaching out to take the fruit from Malin’s hand. She looked at the fruit in her hand, a bit frightened, a bit uneasy, but in the end, she didn’t hesitate and put the two fruits into her mouth.
At that mont, purification began, and Malin reached out to grasp the girl’s hand—the power of the World Tree fruit began to transform Zoe. Simultaneously, the intense power made it difficult for Malin to keep hold of his hand, but out of admiration for the girl’s resolve even in the face of despair, Malin reached out to comfort Zoe in front of him.
The girl’s body was torn apart by the Holy Energy, and her soul was on the verge of collapse before the divine judgnt, yet she had no complaints. Similarly, she did not recite the hymns spontaneously sung by those undergoing purification as Malin had seen before.
She just held onto Malin’s hand tightly.
At the mont of impending disintegration, the girl opened her eyes: "I...as my father’s daughter...didn’t disgrace the hero, did I..."
The next second, the collapsing Holy Fla burst from her eye sockets, and the countdown to failure began to tick.
Da Huang frantically threw itself into its little owner’s arms, only to be pushed away by her as she crumbled.
"I have to go, Da Huang... goodbye then..." The girl cried, but even when the tears she shed contained pure white Holy Energy, Zoe did not voice a single complaint. Just as the two sages lowered their heads in lant, Malin reached out.
In Sage Yu’s eyes, the small visitor from another realm ignited the divine fla in his hand, and in an instant, the girl in his eyes completed her purification. The ashes were no more, her shell was being repaired, and the petite Goddess of Fate appeared behind the visitor from another realm, with her left hand on his shoulder and her right index finger lightly touching the girl’s forehead.
Your Highness Malin... truly a person favored by Fate.
In Fang Sage’s eyes, this middle-aged man extended both hands, personally maintaining the stability of Zoe’s collapse, and finally embraced her.
And behind the girl, a black-haired young woman opened her arms, embracing Zoe, and embracing Malin as well.
Although I am reluctant to acknowledge a Deity, if it’s such a Deity...perhaps it’s not unimaginable.
Fang Sage sighed, simultaneously feeling the world revert to its original state.
The little prince Malin held the little girl of the Heavenly Kingdom in his arms.
Is this true purification?
So magnificent, Miss Zoe.
......
Zoe opened her eyes once more; in her previous mory, she felt warmth that seed to ignite her entire body.
But now, she realized she had not been ignited, her Fate had been altered.
She stood up, noticing the change of clothes on herself—a girl in her favorite dress spun around, with her Da Huang happily circling her, and her brother Malin standing not far away.
"I... I feel reborn, brother." The girl looked at Malin, recounting the changes that had taken place within her.
"I watched as you changed; congratulations, Zoe." In her eyes, her brother Malin was smiling.
"I want to live here." For so reason, Zoe felt it was her destiny.
"You may." Brother Malin seed always to accommodate her, which satisfied and delighted Zoe. She nodded, looking at the two sages, one big and one small, standing in the distance—she had heard brother Malin ntion this before.
Finally, she bowed her head in salute, lifting her skirt like a lady as her father had taught her.
Then, she walked toward her father and mother.
Yes, father and mother, after so long, our family is finally together again.
She thought this, then sat down at the base of the long monunt, with her Da Huang whining beside her on the ground.
"I’m a bit tired, Da Huang, accompany while I rest for a bit."
With this thought, Zoe lowered her head, and the next second, could no longer withstand the crumbling of her shell, revealing the true Zoe within.
Her shell had long beco deford beyond salvation, but her soul, enlightened by her father’s and mother’s words, gained a final chance. Now, Zoe had beco
the Daughter of the Heavenly Kingdom, a pure soul, perfect and holy.
"Let her rest." Malin said, glancing at Susu as she walked into the transport portal.
The Goddess of Fate paused for this, turning her head to look at him: "I always thought your purification would lack any rcy."
"I heard a maxim from the Naless, purification is not about conformity, I think he was right. Saving those who can be saved is far better than hastily purifying them." Malin finished, seeing Susu smile, turning to the transport portal, smiling before turning her back to Malin: "You always manage to surprise. Do you know the power you now carry? Do not let everyone down, Your Highness Malin."
Susu’s words, though seemingly said with a bit of a temper, were heartfelt as Malin believed.
Yes, without power, one can only watch destruction helplessly, so Malin must keep striving, he must find that contract.
If Fate cannot be changed, then break it and remake it.
After sending off the sages and reassuring them, Malin sat down by the long monunt. Zoe, still resting from the exhaustion after transformation, would require so ti to wake, but Malin believed Da Huang would surely protect her well.
Thinking of this, Malin reached out to take the gem from the ashes, representing Zoe’s past. He carefully stored it along with the ashes in a box, having completed all the arrangents, Malin felt he had done a good deed today by reuniting a family.
Though such a reunion took eight millennia, at least it was a reunion.
Both of you, rest in peace, your daughter has returned to your side, may you forgive her past, and may you still love her.
Having comforted himself at heart, Malin decided to leave—to share today’s story with ng Quyi.
As he opened the teleportation portal, Malin turned around with a sense of intuition.
At that mont, Malin saw a very ordinary but pleasant-looking young man standing behind the long monunt.
And in front of the monunt, a young father was draping a coat over his daughter, while a young mother smiled at Malin from the side.
"Thank you, Mr. Malin, you fulfilled my husband’s wish, and you also helped my daughter escape her misery. I don’t know how to thank you, Mr. Malin."
After her husband completed everything, she turned to leave with him towards the cetery gate, where an unknown white gate opened for him and her.
Until watching him and her leave, until the Naless moving towards him, did Malin finally sigh with emotion: "How did I not think of this?"
The Naless shook his head with a smile: "You still don’t understand the power you bear, Malin. Learn to use it; if you don’t want regrets in this world, you must learn to ignite everything yourself."
Eventually, Malin nodded.
Yes, I never thought I could do this before; now that I know, I swear, in the future, I will devote every effort to understanding the power and responsibility I bear.
