Chapter 475 The story of being here because of you
The journey always has an end, just like the roller coaster always has an end.
In front of them, the roller coaster that was big enough to circle the entire eternal paradise was parked here.
"No matter how many times, [Eternal Paradise] is always so perfect...
Until the end, it was just like the first time we met.
So, let's put a perfect end to it right at the starting point of everything, right? "
……
Even though the beautiful scenery was right in front of her, Mei couldn't muster any interest.
As separation approached, her sadness became even sadder as she recalled the things that happened in the paradise in her past life.
"Mei, what's wrong? If you want to cry, I have a shoulder to lean on."
Noticing Mei's depression, Alicia held her hand and comforted her.
Although she was also very sad, she couldn't show it in front of Mei.
“Departure will always come, and all good things must come to an end.
But the meaning of goodbye is not separation, but a new reunion.
So Mei, smile and think of it as being for me, okay?"
"Um……"
Mei lowered her head, trying hard not to let the tears escape from her eyes.
"This is Mei.
Don't worry, I will protect you and let Mei return to reality safely.
Congratulations! Mei has now officially graduated from the Paradise of the Past Life."
Alicia was also reluctant to leave, but there was nothing she could do. She and Mei were from two different worlds and could not be together forever.
……
The wheel keeps moving forward, like the turning of fate, sending the two people far away.
Mei saw the entirety of the Eternal Paradise for the first time, and watched it gradually move away from her.
That’s it, it’s over.
So now, our story...is really coming to an end."
"..."
"Mei, this is the last time. Just like before, let's meet [everyone] again and... say goodbye properly, okay?"
"...
Um. "
The roller coaster drove into a ray of light, the warm light shone on Meiyi, and a familiar voice rang in her ears. It was the memory of the old people engraved in the paradise, and it was their last blessing for their successors.
Finally, the fifty thousand years of companionship came to an end, and then, they will move towards their own [tomorrow].
……
The hero of the burning moon,
“I don’t think I have anything to entrust to you.
Raiden Mei, it is an extremely lucky thing for both Duichen and Luo Chen to meet you.
Take a step forward with confidence, and you will eventually reach a bright future."
……
The hero of the empty dream, Padova
"Sister Mei, I will share my good luck with you, don't worry!
From now on, whether you find money in the pocket of a piece of clothing you haven’t worn for a long time, or an extra bottle of drink is missing from the vending machine…
That means our good luck is taking effect!
Hehe, since Mei-jie is our friend, this is just a friendly favor, so it’s free of charge!"
……
The hero of life, Hua
"Mei, I now understand a little bit about the story of that [Class Leader] you mentioned.
I understand her...I understand how I felt at those times.
Thank you for helping my future self. As for the [past]...
It’s already part of the future, isn’t it?”
……
The hero of the stars, Gray
“The clouds are beautiful, the stars are beautiful, and Mei-sister is beautiful too.
Xingxing and I will both look at Sister Mei.
We will all become stars and protect Sister Mei.
So, we are always together.”
……
Infinite Hero, Mobius
“I didn’t expect you to leave here the same way.
What a shame. Whether it's more or less, change makes people better, right?
Forget it, please don’t say anything like [I gained a lot of memories]. I won’t dwell on the past.
So... do your best when you get out, little guinea pig. Don't let Mebius down."
……
The hero of the rising light, Kosmo
“…There probably isn’t much need for further explanation.
You will go further than we have, and you will overcome obstacles that we have not been able to overcome.
So, take care on your journey.”
……
The instantaneous hero, Sakura
“Whether in reality or in the promised land, I have few people I can talk to.
It is my honor to fight alongside you. I wish you all the best in the future——
The military fortune is prosperous. "
……
Tianhui's Yingjie, Su
"Visitor, have you got the answer you wanted?
Even if you are still confused, don't panic. You still have plenty of time to chew it slowly.
The process of thinking itself is its meaning.
You, and all of you, will eventually find your own path."
……
The annihilated heroes,
"Okay, let's go.
Hmm? Do you still expect me to say something sentimental?
Then you have found the wrong person.
But I remember your name... Raiden Mei."
……
Spiral Yingjie, Weiwei
"Hey, Ms. Mei, a surprise! I actually left a backdoor in your brain! You can look for it after you get out!
Don't listen to her nonsense. No one else can find the back door I left.
Wait, we should first clarify here that [there is no backdoor], right?
Alas... I hope you will never find yourself arguing with yourself. Then... goodbye."
……
Golden Hero, Eden
"Thank you, Miss Mei, you have brought so much to the Land of Elysium.
We have nothing to repay you with but blessings and prayers.
May civilization continue like a spark.
May this world be as brilliant as gold."
……
Aponia, the hero of discipline
"The paradise of the past has met the end I foresaw, destruction and darkness.
But I’m glad that it worked out this way in the end.
So, please break free from your fate, Mei...
You already have this ability."
……
Kevin, the Savior
"You have been recognized by the Fourteen Heroes, so naturally I don't need to say anything more.
Whether it is me here or me in reality.
That's right... He must be waiting for you. I hope you both get a satisfactory result.
Face the future with your head held high, Herrisher of Thunder. You know you can believe in yourself."
……
My true hero, Ai Lishia
"Finally, you're back to me!
After all, I am the original [first one].
Alicia is always like this, the beginning of everything and the end of everything, right?
So this time...we really have to say goodbye.
Thank you, Mei.
Thank you for coming here, meeting us and talking to us.
Thank you for remembering our names and listening to our stories.
As long as Mei still remembers us, this story will not disappear.
Only humans can think this way, and only humans can turn such beliefs into reality.
So now, I will give the final inscription of the "True Self" to you, the "human" of the new generation.
This name carries the origin of all things. All our thoughts and blessings will one day become your new strength.
And you will give new meaning to this name.
We will stay in the past, and you will move into the future.
Then, just bloom with your own flawless and beautiful radiance.
after all--
Beautiful girl, she can do anything!"
……
The light permeated the earth. Mei stood there, looking back, unwilling to leave.
“Hey, what’s wrong?
If we don’t leave now…it will really be too late, right?”
silence.
"Okay... I know you can't bear to part with me, right? I feel the same way.
But it doesn't matter, haven't you already shouldered all of my burdens?"
Still silent.
"Ah, are you thinking... that as long as you stay like this, you can keep talking to me?
It’s not good. If you touch a girl’s heartstrings like this, I will really cry, okay?”
"……don't want."
"……All right.
It’s okay, when you don’t want to move forward, just stop for a while.
Then, look to your sides and behind you...
look……"
Fourteen heroes gathered here to see Mei off.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, adding a sense of sacredness to them.
“…We’re always here.
It’s exactly the same as [originally], isn’t it?
So, please don’t forget—
[Paradise of the Past] records such a simple story.
This story contains pain and failure, betrayal and separation, but also happiness and joy, tenderness and touching moments.
Sadness will not disappear out of thin air, but warm feelings will always be treasured in the heart.
What we should pass on to future generations should not be just hatred and mission. Only by experiencing the glory of this era can future generations understand the meaning of what we are fighting for.
Cold knowledge and techniques should be taught in textbooks. It should be the honor of being a hero and the reason to fight to pass it on by heroes.
It is the ultimate place for our souls to rest in during this journey of chasing fire.
And you who come after us will witness the footprints of our lives and the imprints of our souls, and find the answers you seek in them.
It's not about being pushed or forced forward, nor is it about walking along a path chosen by others.
Instead, I decide my own destiny and my own imprint with this thought in mind: what I want to do and what I should do.
With my own will, I will work towards my own set goals and live my life as the protagonist to the best of my ability in my own way.
You see, I am like this, and so are everyone else. This is true of the era I know and the fourteen people it gave birth to.
Thousands of trajectories intertwine and linger, giving birth to the miracle of a hundred flowers blooming.
This is the eternity of beauty, what I believe in... my true self.
This is the story of [Paradise of the Past]—The Fourteen Heroes Who Chased Fire.
This is where our story ends.
And from now on...
This is your story.”
"……Thank you.
I will never forget.
Farewell, the Fourteen Heroes of Chasing Fire...
Goodbye, Alysia."
