"Thank you all for your help. However, I can't shake the feeling that I've met all of you somewhere before?" Jing Yuan let out a sigh of relief, then looked towards the battlefield, thanking the members of the Astral Express who had helped them defeat Phantylia. He also felt that these individuals, composed of people of different ages, seemed familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere 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. Some were clearly younger, yet now appeared old; some 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 time. It is precisely because we can interfere with time 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 time." "And as for us, the changes in our external appearance are the marks left by time. However, for us, the previous state of dying embers was already meaningless. As long as we are willing, the power of time can allow us to maintain our prime at any given moment." "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 time." "General, in helping the Xianzhou Luofu overcome 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 same time, to help those more numerous people who are in need of help." "Farewell then." With that, the twenty-four individuals, without any lingering attachments to earthly possessions, transformed 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 time was much stronger than mere longevity. Not to mention that they also possessed the ability to use the power of time to self-heal. Jing Yuan felt that this was a method to strip away the power of Abundance, a method that allowed people to achieve true longevity. "If I can't find these twenty-four messengers, then there's no harm in trying to contact that God directly..." Jing Yuan was somewhat hesitant. After remembering 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 time, 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 nameless entity... There was just a whole heap of troublesome matters. Jing Yuan suddenly felt that he shouldn't have been so worried before, putting all the troublesome 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. Himeko 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 emerged being, or someone on the verge of becoming an Aeon..." March 7th scratched her head. Although she was nameless, she had also heard many stories about the Trailblaze Aeon Akivili from nameless 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-proclaimed Candle Bearers is unlike most Destiny Energies we've encountered... And its purity, not to mention 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 something a normal person could achieve, and it's even more impossible for someone 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 member 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 something 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 melted from a candle. Inscribed upon it were some prayer incantations written in the universal language of the cosmos. "Luo... Xianzhou, because of our help this time, 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 time... Wait! What I mean is, if something 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 time. He might be busy with something very important right now." Himeko said. "Something 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 time meeting 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 time she took the history exam, she scored an unprecedented zero." "I never thought someone could get a zero on an exam paper filled with writing, without me giving her even a single point." "Alright, alright, I will definitely supervise her studies properly." "No~ Don't!"
