You let out an inhuman roar, boundless rage and sorrow drowning your reason. You abandoned all defenses, letting the constantly surging abominations tear at your body, while your sword furiously reaped their lives. "Die… all of you, die… be buried with Neergul!!"
Just then, the entire Fanghu Xianzhou trembled violently. The front line… had collapsed. You looked up, seeing General Yueyu fighting a bloody battle, but even she couldn't hold on alone. More enemies surged past her, like a black tide, towards the heart of the Fanghu—towards the temporary field hospital.
Jiang Li… Feixiao… they are there!
"Get out of the way—!" You desperately tried to rush through, but you were tightly entangled, pinned down. You could only watch helplessly as those monsters charged towards the place you most wanted to protect.
Why… why did this happen? Couldn't protect Neergul… couldn't even protect… my sister… Why! I've clearly worked so hard! Why can I still protect nothing! Still… too weak…
Just as the abominations were about to reach the field hospital—the world suddenly brightened. An indescribable white light, originating from the star sea, pierced through the entire battlefield. There was no sound, everything was silent.
That light was coming for the Fanghu.
Inside the hospital tent, Jiang Li was bandaging a wound. Suddenly, she seemed to feel something and looked up. That light was reflected in her pupils.
On the front line, General Yueyu stopped fighting. Looking at that light, she even revealed a smile of relief. "It seems… it's over…"
The moment that light appeared, your Mystic Eyes opened on their own. You saw it. That was not light, but an arrow composed of death. Its trajectory was covered with the most fundamental "lines of death." And its target… was the Fanghu!
The obsession to protect your sister overwhelmed everything! You erupted with the strongest power of your life, breaking free from all restraints, charging madly towards the field hospital, racing against a god. Faster! Even faster!
But you couldn't be faster than a god. The light caught up.
The world instantly lost all color. The hideous abominations, the Borisin's warships, the gigantic living star… all silently evaporated. The Fanghu Xianzhou began to break apart. You felt no pain. You were just running.
Then, you saw your right leg disintegrate into particles. Then your left leg, your body, your sword-wielding arm… You still maintained the posture of running forward. Inertia carried your remaining head, flying out, rolling weakly before finally coming to a stop.
Your vision spun, then settled. You saw the disintegrating Xianzhou, the boundless and silent star sea… Then, the ground shattered. Your head, along with a huge fragment, was thrown into the cold depths of space, becoming insignificant trash. In your final consciousness, you wanted to see your sister one last time, to touch her hair again… But nothing remained. The world returned to nothingness.

You thought this was the end. Who knows how much time passed, perhaps an instant, perhaps a thousand years. Your consciousness gradually recovered. You found yourself as a meteorite, drifting. You watched distant nebulae flicker, watched unfamiliar fleets pass by. You forgot who you were, why you were here. You gave up thinking, just existing, floating, like a true stone on an endless journey.
Many more years passed.
A starship sailed into this graveyard of debris. By the porthole, a woman with purple hair and pink eyes casually swirled the red wine in her glass. Her gaze casually swept over the star river. Suddenly, her gaze sharpened. Among the countless fragments, she saw a "stone" encased in ice crystals. No, to be precise, it was a… head.
The curve of her lips subtly upturned. She drained the last drop of wine, admiring the ice-bound head as if examining a perfect work of art. Her crimson lips parted slightly, like the whisper of fate.
