Chloe quite enjoys this kind of life.

Every now and then, spending a happy day with that Desire Witch at home.

It turned out.

Annie is indeed easily deceived and quite obsessed with desire.

She does whatever crosses her mind.

So... sometimes the two of them might not leave the room all day.

Sometimes, when he goes too far, Annie would bite his shoulder unhappily and say in a somewhat lazy voice:

"Stop moving around."

Whenever this happens, Chloe feels even less able to resist.

Then Annie gets very angry.

When she gets angry, they start to fight.

Mhm.

And when she takes the initiative, she tries her best to make Chloe lie down.

It turns out, a demigod is a demigod, something he simply cannot withstand.

This once made Chloe quite frustrated.

Because he realized something very upsetting.

His career progression has halted.

To be precise, there's something wrong with his body.

…

At the Witch Tea Party, Kallen frowned, looking at the test report before her, and said to Chloe and Annie:

"There's nothing wrong with your body, in fact, it's much healthier than I imagined."

The Desire Witch unhappily said:

"Didn't you say you're good at bloodline analysis?"

"You're asking me, how should I know?"

Kallen rolled her eyes and said:

"This body you nurture has nothing wrong, but for some reason, the extraordinary traits you accumulate once they aggregate, mysteriously disappear.

It's almost as if there's a parasite constantly sucking blood from him."

"Will it affect his body?"

"No, but..."

Chloe suddenly spoke:

"Ms. Kallen, concerning this, I have something I'd like to discuss privately."

Kallen didn't want to chat with him, but considering she might not be able to defeat that damned Desire Witch, she decided to proceed cautiously.

"Alright, Annie, you go out first."

The Desire Witch was reluctantly ushered out.

Kallen snapped her fingers, casting a Silence Barrier, then said:

"Don't want her to know?"

"Hmm." Chloe said softly, "After all, from your words, it seems my extraordinary traits are continuously disappearing, which isn't a problem that can be easily solved, right."

Kallen pinched her brow and said:

"I've never seen someone in your situation before. In fact, your speed in accumulating and digesting extraordinary traits is undoubtedly the fastest among the many humans I've encountered.

But your body is like a leaky balloon, no matter how much extraordinary traits are filled, they disappear quickly.

When your level was low, it wasn't noticeable, but as your level increased, your loss rate became faster.

Here's a suggestion: abandon the idea of career advancement. If you continue to advance, your extraordinary traits will dissipate even faster, and you might... prematurely age."

The loss of extraordinary traits is different from the loss of life origin.

But more or less, there's a connection between the two.

Some extraordinaries, when injured, might experience a drop in career level, leading to a significant reduction in lifespan, a situation not uncommon.

Now this human, at least maintains a balance between influx and outflow, unexpectedly granting him what could be considered a long life compared to ordinary civilians.

But after advancing, his lifespan might actually shorten.

Chloe took a deep breath.

He's a smart person, quite clear about the implication in the witch's words.

Unable to advance his career level means his life essence cannot transcend.

In other words...

The time he has to accompany Annie is actually quite limited.

"Please help me hide this from her."

"I refuse." Kallen said nonchalantly, "Although I dislike her attitude that she can solve everything, this matter I will definitely tell her first."

That lunatic's personality is unstable, like a child who hasn't long been born.

That overly carefree nature once gave Kallen quite a headache.

But…

If the news is hidden, and this person dies of old age, what Annie will do next will only give her more headaches.

In this era, her grandfather's side has yet to ascend to the Destruction Black Sun.

Meaning theoretically, there's no strong opponent on this continent to rival Annie.

In fact, they can't even beat themselves.

This is the dimension-reducing strike of a top-tier strong being, insurmountable by ordinary beings.

So...

[If that idiot knew this news earlier, she could at least be psychologically prepared]

Kallen sighed softly.

So, what exactly is love?

It's impossible to understand.

Chloe also sighed.

Hoping Annie wouldn't be too sad or upset.

Otherwise, he would also be very upset.

…

That night.

Annie found him and said:

"Come on, let's search for a cure for your ailment."

Seeing Annie already packed and ready to leave with luggage, Chloe suddenly held her hand and said:

"Then, let's travel slowly, at least in the coming days, leave more happy memories."

"..."

"Don't pout." Chloe softly pinched her cheek and said: "At least, in the end of life, don't let the past be just about running around."

He remembers he once had a dream, in the dream, there was a little unfortunate one who spent a lifetime constantly running around.

So she lived a very tiring and lonely life.

In the dream, he then said to that person:

"Don't always think about running forward; sometimes, stop and look at the flowers by the roadside."

Then that person would say in a very sad tone:

"But I'm all alone; I don't want to look."

At that time, he said to the girl whose face couldn't be seen clearly:

"Then find someone. With someone accompanying you, you'll be willing to stop."

He wanted to say more, but the next moment, he woke up from the dream.

He didn't want Annie to be like that poor girl in the dream, so he held her hand and said:

"Let's go, Annie, let's travel and see the beauty of this continent."

Annie couldn't resist him, so she reluctantly agreed.

They strolled across the continent.

While passing through the Pirate Islands in the middle of the Fallen Star Sea, they found traces of Abyssal activity.

At Chloe's request, Annie sealed the Gate of the Abyss located beneath the Pirate Islands.

They went to the capital of the Mysterious Forest.

Because Annie said she felt she'd find answers there.

Around the Mysterious Forest, they saw the legendary hometown of the fairies, the Golden Land.

Inside, they saw the King of Demons who had become unclear-minded.

Annie was not afraid of the King of Demons.

On the contrary, it was her first time seeing such a powerful entity on The Stars.

She shielded Chloe behind her and then asked:

"Do you have a way to cure the symptoms of Extraordinary Trait loss?"

The King of Demons sat calmly on the throne, slowly opened his bewildered eyes, and said:

"Give it up, it can't be healed. His body is just an empty shell; no matter how much you fill it, an empty shell is an empty shell.

Unless..."

"Unless?"

"Unless you fulfill your mission."

"My... mission?"

"Yes, devour the Filthy Moon, separate the Filthy Moon, let the origin of the Filthy Moon return to The Stars; only then is it the only solution.

But, that would be too cruel for you." The King of Demons slowly closed his eyes and said, "That would mean you have to leave The Stars for the Star Realm, so give it up, and stay with him a bit longer."

The King of Demons looked lovingly at this naive deity.

How cruel it is.

To teach a newborn deity the first lesson, which is to learn to part.

"I don't believe it." Annie said, gritting her teeth: "I am the Desire Mother Tree that devours all vitality, the dominator of life and death, there's nothing I can't save."

Feeling aggrieved, Annie wanted to take Chloe and leave the Golden Land.

The King of Demons muttered:

"When you're ready to leave, come to the Golden Land again. In my last moment of clarity, I will lend you a hand.

As for the future, it depends on you."

The King of Demons looked at Chloe, a profound expression in his eyes that Chloe couldn't understand. He asked:

"What is the Filthy Moon?"

"It is your true form, also the aggregation of all your powers."

"Do I... know you?"

"We have not met face-to-face, but many people I know are related to you."

"Is it my past life?"

"Yes, you did remarkable things, but also troublesome. For a long time to come, you will find it hard to escape the cycle of death, until the destined Destruction Black Sun takes your power, until the radiant King of Redemption tears apart the night."

"Then, is there a chance for Annie and me to meet again?"

The King of Demons quietly looked at this Filthy Sun Demon Monarch, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Yes."

"That's enough."

Chloe took the unwilling Annie and left the Golden Land.

He said to Annie: "Let's go, let's continue to travel."

Annie's wanton smile slightly restrained.

She became somewhat silent.

But the next moment, she smiled again:

"Then let's go, travel."

Actually, the moment she heard the King of Demons' words, she knew who the person in front of her was.

In a daze.

She seemed to remember that damn Abigail.

Clearly, she didn't admit she was a part of the God of Growth and Forest, but why... why would she make the same choice?

Clearly, she should know what should be done most at this time, which is to cut ties with that Filthy Moon Demon King.

But why... was her heart filled with unwillingness.

She so wanted to stay with him a little longer.

She wanted to live with him.

No, Annie...

Calm down.

The most important thing now is to accompany him through the last short span of his life.

Perhaps... she would soon grow tired of it?

One year.

Five years.

Ten years.

Fifty years.

...

They found the elixir for youth renewal.

But that elixir could only maintain his youthful appearance.

They found a Magic Guidebook that bestowed immortality, but it turned out that the Magic Guidebook could only transform a person into an unintelligent spirit.

Annie was still trying.

She always spoke comfortingly:

"Don't worry, I've seen many treasures, and if we search for them one by one, we will always find something that can help you.

So, until then, you must hold on."

However.

Chloe's steps became more and more sluggish.

He could barely walk anymore.
