"Thank you all for your help. However, I can't shake the feeling that I've t all of you sowhere before?" Jing Yuan let out a sigh of relief, then looked towards the battlefield, thanking the mbers of the Astral Express who had helped them defeat Phantylia.
He also felt that these individuals, composed of people of different ages, seed familiar, as if he had seen them sowhere before.
"General, perhaps you saw us in information reports, or perhaps you encountered us in the Elixir-Seekers' infirmary. The twenty-four of us were indeed healed by that Phantylia." One of the individuals, who had a past connection with Jing Yuan, stood out and spoke to Jing Yuan.
"It is you!" Jing Yuan looked at these people he had seen in the photos, discovering many differences. So were clearly younger, yet now appeared old; so were clearly old, yet now had their youth restored.
"We were saved and given new life by that God, so we offered the only thing we could give to that God—our very faith."
"And that God, in turn, bestowed upon us a gift: the power to interfere with ti. It is precisely because we can interfere with ti that the injuries and exhaustion you suffered in the previous battle were all restored to a perfect state by us through the power of interfering with ti."
"And as for us, the changes in our external appearance are the marks left by ti. However, for us, the previous state of dying embers was already aningless. As long as we are willing, the power of ti can allow us to maintain our pri at any given mont."
"It's just that we consider this the price for gaining power, so we will not alter any changes that have occurred to our bodies after obtaining this power of ti."
"General, in helping the Xianzhou Luofu overco this calamity, we will also assist in the subsequent reconstruction efforts. Once all this is concluded, we will leave the Xianzhou Luofu and venture into the vast cosmos, to spread the teachings of our God, and at the sa ti, to help those more nurous people who are in need of help."
"Farewell then."
With that, the twenty-four individuals, without any lingering attachnts to earthly possessions, transford into specks of light and disappeared from their original spot. Jing Yuan looked in the direction where the twenty-four had vanished, letting out a sigh. He knew that these twenty-four were probably unwilling to stay.
Perhaps, after the higher-ups of the Xianzhou learned of this, they would try their best to keep these twenty-four, after all, the power of ti was much stronger than re longevity. Not to ntion that they also possessed the ability to use the power of ti to self-heal.
Jing Yuan felt that this was a thod to strip away the power of Abundance, a thod that allowed people to achieve true longevity.
"If I can't find these twenty-four ssengers, then there's no harm in trying to contact that God directly…" Jing Yuan was sowhat hesitant. After rembering the mysterious person he had encountered before, who had brought him back from the distant past, he once again witnessed the scene of the Five Celestials gathering together.
To be capable of such feats, is that mysterious person a favored child of that God, or is he the mysterious God himself? Could this God be a new Aeon?
Jing Yuan only felt that although the crisis of the Xianzhou Luofu had been resolved this ti, a lot of subsequent issues needed to be dealt with: the aftermath of the Elixir Palace, the reason for the Stellaron invading Luofu, the fact that Phantylia was healed by that naless entity…
There was just a whole heap of troubleso matters. Jing Yuan suddenly felt that he shouldn't have been so worried before, putting all the troubleso matters onto himself. Now, he simply didn't want to think about how to deal with his own work. He'd rather just laze around.
Fortunately, he saw Jingliu walking over with a vigorous stride. He thought about it, and then simply tossed his work to her. He himself had already worked hard enough.
The atmosphere on the Astral Express was a bit strange.
Hiko and March 7th, who were staying on the Express, had learned about Xin Yu's situation.
At first, everyone was a little hesitant, but they also respected his choice. However, when Xin Yu showed such power, everyone felt it was a bit unreal.
"So, Xin Yu could very well be a newly erged being, or soone on the verge of becoming an Aeon…" March 7th scratched her head. Although she was naless, she had also heard many stories about the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili from naless travelers. She never thought that one day, a companion of hers would actually be an Aeon.
"That's the only possibility. After all, the Destiny Energy contained within those self-proclaid Candle Bearers is unlike most Destiny Energies we've encountered… And its purity, not to ntion being able to share it with others."
"Furthermore, simply putting one's hands together in prayer seems to be unbelievably effective. It's generally not sothing a normal person could achieve, and it's even more impossible for soone to share it."
"In other words, if we can't defeat the enemy, we can just pray to Xin Yu like those Candle Bearers, and directly summon a divine descent!" March 7th made an assumption.
"It is possible, because Xin Yu was once a mber of the Astral Express, those Candle Bearers also gave us a prayer slip, saying that by following the prayer incantations, we can attract that God's attention. And they also clearly stated that unless it's sothing absolutely necessary, don't disturb… Xin Yu."
Welt took out a thin slip. To the touch, it felt as if it were reshaped from wax lted from a candle. Inscribed upon it were so prayer incantations written in the universal language of the cosmos.
"Luo… Xianzhou, because of our help this ti, has gifted us this Jade Abacus. When needed in the future, we can directly use the Xianzhou Luofu's unconditional help." Dan Heng took out the Jade Abacus that Jing Yuan had previously given to the Astral Express crew.
"In other words, the Astral Express has already gained the ability to pass through Xianzhou and the Elixir Palace at any ti… Wait! What I an is, if sothing happens in the future where we are wronged, or encounter difficulties, we can ask Xin Yu for help?"
"I'll just call him Xin Yu directly! Don't casually trouble him! After all, he possesses the power to manipulate ti. He might be busy with sothing very important right now." Hiko said.
"Sothing important…?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Yang? Why does your expression look so strange?"
"…Nothing serious." Welt pushed up the glasses on his face, unable to quite match the image of March 7th's 'that person who might be busy with very important matters' with the person who was currently, at a point in the past, dating a certain girl.
As for how he knew?
......…..
"Xin Yu, this is our history teacher, Mr. Welt Yang. Mr. Welt Yang, this is my boyfriend, Xin Yu."
"…..Hmm, first ti eting you, hello, Mr. Welt Yang."
"Hello, Xin Yu. Since you are Kiana's boyfriend, please also take care of your girlfriend's grades. The first ti she took the history exam, she scored an unprecedented zero."
"I never thought soone could get a zero on an exam paper filled with writing, without giving her even a single point."
"Alright, alright, I will definitely supervise her studies properly."
"No~ Don't!"
