After waiting for a while, the people who survived the disaster caused by the mirror holder slowly began to wake up.
Although these living people fainted not because of the mirror holder but because of the impact produced by Nero's sword move "Skyfall"...
But it did not matter. After all, the real culprit was the mirror holder. All the bad things that happened were because of the mirror holder.
During the time he waited for the others to wake up, Nero first rode his sword and flew a fairly long distance outward, then circled around a few times to make sure that aside from the eggshell barrier set up by the mirror holder, no one else or anything else had set up a new trap.
At the same time, during this process he pulled back some people who were floating in the universe but were still alive, such as Zhou Xing.
In addition, to prevent something from launching a sneak attack while he was patrolling, after all Nero did not know when Tingyun would be possessed, and that Lord Ravager floated around everywhere, and was also a Wuwubo, Wuwubo and Suiyang are roughly the same kind of creature, who knows when it would pop out, Nero kept the sword formation activated the whole time.
Even the slightest movement would not escape his notice.
However, the sword formation did not capture anything.
After finishing these things, Nero sat down and mourned the dead.
After that, it was what happened when Zhou Xing woke up.
And once everyone had woken up, it was about time to set off.
There were still some people left on the Whistling Flame Merchant Group's side, and some left on the Family's side. Barely enough to function.
They exchanged greetings, and then the two sides went their separate ways.
But before leaving, Robin gave Nero an invitation. The Penacony Harmony Festival was approaching, and she was very willing to invite Nero to attend.
As for herself, after completing this short performance, she would also return to Penacony to prepare in advance.
Of course, aside from the written invitation, Robin also specially left a mark of Harmony on Nero as proof, and told him that if the front desk staff were new and could not understand it, he should ask them to contact her brother.
After saying goodbye to Robin, the Whistling Flame Merchant Group also prepared to depart.
Having just finished a fight, Nero's stomach was growling with hunger, so he grabbed a portion of food and ate quickly while standing to the side watching Tingyun arrange and coordinate things here.
Suddenly, the young man blinked.
He saw a wisp of starlight fire appear inside the cabin, floating faintly.
"Why are you still squatting here? Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!" Nero said to that cluster of starlight fire.
Unlike the clusters of flames he had seen while mourning the dead, this starlight fire did not respond and did not leave. It just kept floating here.
This situation made Nero frown. "Stop staying here. Be careful you don't get caught and used as fuel."
As he spoke, Nero reached out toward that cluster of starlight fire.
At this moment, the starlight fire finally moved. It seemed to have figured something out and gained a very clear goal.
It gathered all its strength and rushed toward Tingyun.
Unfortunately, it was stopped halfway by a finger.
Nero flicked his finger. With a "pa" sound, that cluster of starlight fire was scattered.
"I already told you to hurry and leave. You wouldn't go. Now you got hit, right?"
Nero complained about this stubborn spirit of starlight fire. Then his expression froze. After blinking twice, he frowned and raised his head, looking left and right. Finally he reached up and dug at his ear, asking in confusion:
"Huh? Did I just hear a scream? Did I use too much strength in that fight and get so tired that I'm having hallucinations?"
Nero looked at the bowl in his hands and fell into deep thought.
On the other side, after finishing the arrangements, Tingyun's ears twitched, and then she turned to look at Nero, a trace of doubt appearing in her eyes.
'What is this kid squatting there thinking about?'

[The Real World]
Switching between several games, streaming a bit of this one and a bit of that one.
Going back and forth, Siberian Duck had delayed her livestream for several more days.
But the missions that should be done in the game and the rewards that should be collected had all been taken.
And today, before streaming the game, she was going to watch the video released by the official account.
Anyway, when it came to stretching livestream hours, Siberian Duck had become more and more skilled.
[Dan-heart Forever: Here we go, here we go.]
[Wind-Boy Solo-Stan: Watching the video first, right? You've been doing that these past few days.]
[Nero's Sword: Hurry up and watch, hurry up and watch, Nero is in the new video!]
[Pure Beauty Knight: Fish baby is in it? Hurry, hurry!]
"Stop rushing, stop rushing, I'm watching it, I'm watching it." As she spoke, Siberian Duck opened and clicked on the video.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was HoYoverse's logo. Then the screen brightened, showing the ancient style buildings on the Xianzhou.
At the same time, a Q version snowy owl bird head appeared in the lower right corner of the screen.
The bird wore a small bow tie around its neck, a half cloak like outfit, and a small top hat with feathers on its head.
Then the bird began speaking in a steady and strong male voice, "For thousands of years, the Xianzhou has gone through countless wars."
"Who knows how many heroes and talents have fallen. Yet there is still one legend that stands firm through the long years, creating many astonishing battle achievements."
"Today's main character is General Jing Yuan from the Xianzhou Luofu. His calm command on the battlefield has left behind countless legendary stories."
"There is a poem praising him, ahem, there is a poem that says: Eyes closed and gaze hidden, he sits within the formation, not caring for empty fame that binds the body; raising his head, he moves his blade like rising lightning, chasing demons and sweeping filth, honoring the bow bearing god."
After the opening segment, the screen changed and came to the studio. Below the bird, its name was shown: Jimi.
"Ah right, today's program has also specially invited the little Sword Immortal Nero from the Astral Express, who is also from the Xianzhou Luofu!"
Jimi introduced, and then the camera pulled toward the guest seat on the left. Nero's Q version image appeared on the screen.
Even Black Cutter got a proper appearance. This heavy pitch black sharp blade was propped up at the side, looking as if it were sitting on the sofa.
Unlike Nero, who was blushing because of awkwardness and shyness and used drinking tea to shift his attention, this sword acted bold and carefree, even nodding nonstop.
It looked as if, as a Stellaron, being able to sit in the VIP seat within the company's sphere of influence made it extremely proud.
"Th-that... hello everyone... I'm Nero... was... was invited to film Approaching the Star Dome program..."
From childhood to adulthood, from his previous life to this one, this was Nero's first time recording a program and his first time appearing on television. He was not very skilled at it.
And when he thought about how what was filmed today would be seen by many people in the future, his cheeks grew hot.
So much so that when he introduced himself, his voice became softer and softer, smaller and smaller, until at the end it was as faint as a mosquito.
Even Jimi beside him had to stretch his neck and tug at his ears to barely hear clearly.
Fortunately, the company's recording equipment was very powerful, and with post production processing, even if the audience turned the volume down and could not hear clearly, they could judge what Nero said through the subtitles.
