"Indeed, it is a very appropriate definition. I hope the people of the future will have a day when they can make use of it."
Dr. MEI said in a gentle and soft voice.
The viewers in front of the television finally understood the origin of the concept of "eclosion."
They also gained a deeper understanding of the concept of Herrschers.
Fire Moth Interstellar Entertainment Company.
"Although it was only a cameo, Mei acted really well."
Bringing his girlfriend along, Kevin praised without holding back.
"Yeah, yeah. Speaking of which, MEI and Mei look so alike. Are they really not blood-related?"
Kiana nodded repeatedly and asked with curiosity.
Naturally, there was no relation at all; the two of them simply looked alike.
Instead, some fans refused to believe it and even speculated that Kevin treated Mei differently in the plot precisely because she looked very much like Dr. MEI.
However, these well-founded gossips did not affect the advancement of the plot on the screen.
On the television.
Elysia said firmly, "Mm, it definitely will."
The two fell silent for a moment. Dr. MEI took the initiative and spoke, "Elysia, thank you for telling me all this."
"To be unable to witness your blooming with my own eyes… I am truly regretful."
Elysia naturally would not mind. She shook her head and said, "Don't mind it. After all, your physical condition has long since ceased to be any secret."
"For a sick ordinary person to participate in the crusade against the Thirteenth Herrscher would be rather too strange, wouldn't it?"
"Trust… the world today needs it far too much."
"People need things they can firmly believe in; they need a reasonable explanation."
"So, let the first Herrscher, the Herrscher of Origin—become a beautiful fairy tale!"
Looking at the pink-haired girl whose pretty face bloomed into a smile, Dr. MEI opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But in the end she did not say it. Instead, Elysia comforted her:
"No need to be so heavy-hearted. I am the heroine of the story, after all."
"Isn't it only natural to go save the world I love once?"
"Look—even now, when the end is approaching, there are still people who hold expectations for tomorrow."
"When civilization is tottering in the darkness, light is still constantly being born from within it."
"What I like most is this kind of humanity, this kind of world."
"It is precisely they who gave birth to the miracle named the Herrscher of Humanity."
"Bit by bit, we have indeed created a story that has never existed before!"
"I also believe that the people of the future will definitely be able to do the same, right?"
Dr. MEI answered without hesitation, "Of course."
The nationwide viewers in front of the screens nodded even harder. Many who had become Elysia fans had tears streaming down their faces.
She really… I'm crying to death!
It was also at this moment that Elysia slowly said, "So, can you promise me, MEI?"
"Even if the Stigmata Plan is certain to succeed, please, no matter what, do not give up on the Seed Plan, okay?"
Dr. MEI nodded and said, "After all, it is the most unimaginable plan that holds the greatest possibility, right?"
"I promise you—whether it is the Stigmata Plan that overturns everything and redefines all, or the Seed Plan that goes with the flow and quietly changes fate."
"Their true power is the same; both will, after us, create unprecedented paths."
"And coincidentally, one is the worst plan and one is the best plan."
"What a truly interesting fact!"
Hearing this, Elysia also smiled and said, "Yes, just like humanity itself, isn't it?"
Without a doubt, the information revealed in this segment was quite substantial.
Some viewers did not even know what the Stigmata and Seed plans actually were.
Even many long-time viewers were often left stunned by the plot knives and thus filled with resentment toward the dog director.
Only after seeing explanations in the chat groups did they understand the difference between the two plans.
At the same time, it was precisely because of the Seed Plan that Fu Hua became the Phoenix Immortal guarding Shenzhou for several thousand years.
…
Following the conversation between Dr. MEI and Elysia, what should have been the opening of the banquet.
Yet what appeared on the television was instead a chaotic darkness.
Just like deleted data, just like erased memories.
All that remained here was pure nothingness.
"…"
Accompanied by a girl's sleepy whimper, a blurry light gradually lit up in the distance.
At that moment, a gentle and elegant voice rang out.
"Today, I will only sing the song you like the most."
The light was so warm and tender, evoking a sense of déjà vu and nostalgia.
At the same time, another familiar, devout voice also sounded.
"It was you who changed fate."
Then came a somewhat embarrassed voice.
"Don't show such a surprised expression."
…
"Because we have always believed in you."
…
The familiar voices rang out one after another, making the awakening consciousness increasingly puzzled.
Clearly, at the end of this story, she would stand on the opposite side of humanity.
She would pass away bearing the name of the Thirteenth Herrscher, leaving the stage to the people she loved most.
—That was how it should have been.
But at this moment, as the light gradually brightened, the person finally surrounded by everyone and stepping into the spotlight…
was herself?
And why did these memories that should have vanished with time still exist here?
"Because I am here, because I will remember."
"Because your birth, your footsteps, every tiny fragment of your life…"
"They have all been remembered by the people you loved."
"Crossing ten thousand years of time, they are forever stored here."
The answering voice rang out. Even though it was only a voice, the viewers immediately understood her identity.
Then the previously heard gentle and elegant voice rang out once more.
"Yes, because—we still remember."
…
"Our lives are intertwined, our memories connected."
…
"As long as someone still remembers, existence will continue."
…
"Her figure is engraved in our lives; her name is still being called out even now."
…
"Hmph, what a strange name."
…
"Too long, can't remember it."
…
"Ehehe, but it's a really nice name!"
"It sounds like a big client!"
…
"Thank you. I won't forget your kindness, or your name."
…
"We are connected by this name. Even if we never received recognition, this fact cannot be doubted."
…
"As long as we ourselves acknowledge it, then we are one whole."
…
"So I will do everything in my power, no matter in what form."
"Betting on our name—"
…
"Everyone is together."
…
Twelve voices rang out. Even though there were only voices, the viewers kept shouting the names of the twelve Flame-Chasers.
Eden, Aponia, Kevin, Vill-V.
The tsundere Mobius, the impatient Kalpas, and Pardofelis.
And finally SAKURA, Su, Fu Hua, Kosma, Griseo…
With every voice, countless viewers shouted the names of the twelve Flame-Chasers.
"Wuuu, Lord Bishop, take us charging the Imaginary Tree one more time!"
"Count me in! I want to create a world with the Thirteen Flame-Chasers!"
"The person in front, aren't you watching too foolishly? Our world already is that world!"
"This is truly a good work, and the character writing is amazing—even with only voices you can tell exactly who they are!"
"…"
On the television.
After the voices of the twelve Flame-Chasers had appeared one by one, the voice that had answered at the very beginning rang out once more.
The instant it sounded, Mei's name was frantically spammed across every major fan group.
"Herrscher of Origin—what a fitting name for you!"
"The origin of yesterday, and also the origin of tomorrow."
"You really created it, didn't you?"
"The paradise named after you—Elysia's paradise."
"…Look, it is right here."
"A flawless and eternal Elysian Realm, an era that belongs to humanity."
If anything could crown humanity, it could only be humanity itself.
"So, come back…"
"Take one more look at this world born because of you."
"This is the story you began, and it is the stage I have prepared for you."
"Just like before, answer my call once again!"
"—Elysia."
The chaotic darkness was illuminated by light, and a dreamlike paradise resembling a wedding hall emerged.
"Ah, in the end, you still found me!"
"I've been waiting for so long."
"For this reunion, let's greet each other properly!"
"Hi, did you miss me?"
Accompanied by that familiar voice, under the tear-filled gazes of viewers across the country,
the pink fairy-like Elysia appeared on the television once more, this time in splendid full attire.
Elysia had returned once again!
"She's back! Everything is back, and it's an even more beautiful Elysia!"
"This is my waifu, none of you are allowed to look!"
"If true love had a color, it would definitely be pink!!"
"…"
The long-brewing atmosphere was completely ignited. Even inside the company it was extremely lively.
"She's so beautiful… is that really Sister Elysia?"
Pardofelis opened her mouth wide, staring blankly at the television.
Mobius gave a cold snort and said, "From the design to the outfit, it was all done by a certain someone alone."
"From that perspective, it's actually not bad."
Even though she acknowledged that, Mobius still looked at Hessian with displeasure.
Especially since the voice just now had perfectly captured her tsundere personality.
"So pretty! It feels like Elysia has truly become a real fairy!"
Watching the screen, Kiana suddenly felt that her own Herrscher of Flamescion look was no longer as appealing.
At this moment everyone was stunned by Elysia's appearance. Even Eden looked at Hessian with completely new eyes.
Rubbing his nose, Hessian chuckled, "This is only the beginning. Keep watching!"
His words instantly aroused everyone's curiosity; some even felt the urge to beg the dog director for spoilers.
But reason held them back, and the plot on the television was not over yet.
On the screen.
Petals drifted down. The flawless girl from the memories stood there gracefully.
Mei and Elysia looked at each other. For a moment the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
It was Mei who spoke first, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
"Staying silent like this doesn't suit you at all."
Elysia replied, "Then… I'm back?"
Mei smiled and said, "Mm, welcome back."
"Eh?"
Seemingly caught off guard, Elysia let out a surprised sound and said,
"Ah, that's such a super foul play line."
"While I was gone, you've become quite proactive, haven't you, Mei?"
Mei said, "After all, a certain someone disappeared on her own without saying a word."
Elysia asked, "Then… am I the same as the one in your memories?"
Mei nodded, "Exactly the same, not a single difference."
Hearing this answer, Elysia smiled faintly, "That's good. You really did it, Mei."
"Now, your memories and everyone's memories—they are all here, intertwined and entangled together."
"I saw everything. Even though I told such a huge lie, it would be perfectly reasonable for everyone to be angry with me."
"But in the end they all smiled and forgave me. Aren't they spoiling me a little too much?"
Mei laughed despite herself, "Is it really appropriate for you to say that yourself?"
"You gave your sincere heart to everyone, so they returned it with sincerity…"
"I don't think there's any problem with that."
Elysia smiled and said, "Wow, since Mei said so, then it must be true!"
Mei shook her head, "You already knew I would say that, didn't you?"
Elysia neither confirmed nor denied it, "Hmm~?"
"…"
After a brief silence, Mei said, "Elysia, I have finished reading the storybook titled Elysia."
"Now, only the last page is left."
"The ending of that banquet…"
Elysia continued, "Is also my ending."
Mei looked at Elysia earnestly and said, "This time, I don't want to be a reader anymore."
"Nor an observer outside the story, reading distant memories yet unable to touch them at all…"
"I don't want to reach the end in that way."
"So this time, I want to step onto the stage inside the book as a participant."
"To witness the ending of Elysia, the human."
"To witness… everything about you and the Thirteen Flame-Chasers."
"And then engrave it all in my heart."
"This is the highest respect I, as the successor, can offer to the heroes who paved the way for us."
Elysia tapped her chin with her index finger, "Hmm…"
"Since Mei has said it like that, I have no way to refuse at all."
"Then let me lead Mei and turn to the last page of the storybook!"
A crisp ringing of bells echoed melodiously, turning the entire world into pure white.
Petals danced and fell, pages turned, returning to the very beginning.
"Ah, how nostalgic."
"So, beautiful young lady, would you be willing…"
"To attend this grand banquet?"
Elysia circled Mei like a sprite, then finally extended her soft hand covered in white gauze.
Mei on the television had not yet answered, yet the viewers outside the television had already gone crazy.
Even people watching the store television on the street could not hold back.
"Yes! I'm more than willing! Elysia, take me with you!!"
A gray-haired, golden-eyed girl who looked rather shady suddenly shouted, startling everyone around her.
And this was far from an isolated case…
