Uncle Brave disappeared like that, riding a skinny horse.

Fafnir watched him; the man's silhouette desolate. He didn't look back, just gradually drifted further away, forever disappearing from the edge of her sight.

The most important person in her life had left, never to see her again...

She stared blankly at the second most important person in her life.

The one who led her out of the castle, showed her the beauty of the world, splashed water with her in the rain, stomping on the puddles, turning each other into soaked chicks uglier than themselves.

Showed her sunsets, and watched "Ultraman Tiga" with her in hand, revealing the knowledge and beauty of another world.

Airplanes, monsters, the handsome and gentle Da Gu, the fluffy little dog, and the once village.

But it cannot go back, neither to that former village nor that rainy night.

Xue Dili gently patted her head, smiling softly: "Everything I want to say, I've already told you. Finally, eat well, study well, live as brilliantly as anyone."

"Teacher..." Fafnir looked at this boy, finally mustering up the courage to say what she truly wanted to say,

"Teacher, you once promised me a small request."

"Mm."

"Then, teacher, I will continue to learn about teleportation gates, to study deeper teleportation magic, I will go to your world, and then I'll find you, teacher!" She smiled, no longer voicing the request she used to wish for.

"Teacher, I know you see me as a child, but I will grow up, I will grow prettier than anyone, more feminine than anyone, I'll govern the kingdom as you asked, and then pass it to someone truly capable."

"No matter how long it takes, ten years? Twenty years? By then, when I come to your world, teacher, please don't send me away, okay?"

"We'll go see airplanes together, see Da Gu, pet fluffy little dogs, and find that former village back."

"Okay, teacher promises you, if you can do it." Xue Dili smiled, "By that time, I'll test whether you can recite all the books I've given you."

Then, Fafnir extended her pinky finger, Xue Dili intertwined his pinky with hers.

"You must wait for me to grow up, teacher."

His figure slowly dissolved, like an illusion, fading into the horizon.

Fafnir hugged her knees tightly, once again losing the most important person to her.

On that day, she lost the two people who were most important to her in the world.

But, she also had to learn to face an imperfect tomorrow.

She would take up the torch of those before her, and move forward continuously until passing it to the next person.

...

On that day, the Saint vanished in the sunset.

On that day, dazzling light illuminated the whole world.

People saw the light soaring to the sky, crushing everything, a change in heaven and earth, the world stood still, the sky split in half.

Survivors looked at the sky, they laughed, tears and laughter appearing together.

The gray sky shrouded Fafnir's thin figure.

On this day, the two people in the world who were kind to her had forever left, never to return.

She became the new king of the world.

But, there was still hope, she tightly covered the blood-drenched garment, where her teacher's bloodstain was.

This is the final trace her teacher left in the world.

Everyone rallied around her, whether commoners, beggars, nobles or the few nearly extinct elves, they supported her as the king.

And not just Human King, but King of the World.

Under everyone's support, she ascended the throne; at this moment, she no longer had confusion or fear.

Her father had granted her the world's strongest power, her teacher had given her the knowledge and hope of the otherworld.

With strength and knowledge ready, what remained was how to conquer the entire world.

Production resumed everywhere; the world was left with a bit more than thirty percent of its population, but rebuilding proceeded rapidly.

Because every one of them, on that day, became a member of that shining Holy Sword.

Hero statues were erected everywhere; heroes dispersed to various city-states on the first day of the apocalypse, narrating their names and stories, becoming a beautiful scene in each city-state.

Some heroes had even been to multiple city-states; these states would argue over which was the first city to be saved by a hero.

The Royal Palace was rebuilt, the streets restored.

In the large square in front of the Royal Palace, there stood statues of the King, the Sage, and the 12 Knights.

Every day, countless people from other city-states came to pay respects, recalling the scenes from before, their hearts surging.

The few elves merged with humans, forming an autonomous minority.

In the Royal Palace, Fafnir, crowned, looked solemnly at her ministers below; over the years, she developed the strength of the Brave to its maximum, memorizing every book Xue Dili had given her, such as "Ma Yuan," "The Wealth of Nations," "Das Kapital," and "Moral Cultivation and Legal Foundation" so fluently.

"Round Table Meeting, now begins." Fafnir said, with the sunset glaring off her crown.

Below, the newly appointed 12 Knights sat at their respective places.

"The agenda for this meeting covers the grace order for the nobility and knightly class, and the candidates for the next king." The king's pupils seemed lit with flames, as if a mighty dragon were coiling.

"Yes, My King."

...

When Xue Dili opened his eyes, what he saw was the World Consciousness of Blue Star.

Home again...

His mother remained silent, simply pressing her hand to his chest, and then Xue Dili felt a wave of warmth engulfing him.

"Live healthily and happily, my child." After World Consciousness spoke, Xue Dili felt drowsiness overwhelming him.

Perhaps, it was really time to have a good rest...

Go read a book and relax a bit.

After Xue Dili left, it seemed like Blue Star's world consciousness received an unknown message.

"Hello, Blue Star, I am the world consciousness of the Holy Magic Star. I need a child with faith, endurance, loyalty, strength, courage, sacrifice, and a burning love to become a guardian in my world. I will use all resources to cultivate them and give them everything they need..."

Blue Star's consciousness: ...

Are you crazy! If I have such a child, shouldn't I keep and train them myself? Why would I give them to you? Am I insane or foolish?

You're just trying to get something for nothing, aren't you?

Also, next time, you don't need to describe it so specifically—just provide the child's ID.

And, no borrowing!

...

Xue Dili opened his eyes. He was at home. After taking a leave of absence, he returned home instead of staying in the school dormitory.

He looked at his phone. August 30th, today was the day the military training ended, and there seemed to be a large "parade ceremony."

But it had already passed, and he wasn't concerned. He would apply to commute to school tomorrow.

Looking into the consciousness space inside him, the ground was littered with empty cola cans and snack bags, with many unfinished snacks lying around.

Cake, cream, dried meat, happy water...

All high-calorie stuff!

If Uncle Brave stayed any longer, he might actually turn into a chubby uncle.

He looked at the spot where Uncle Brave used to sit and suddenly laughed.

Sure enough, just like the Great Sage said, the people from the Interstellar Corps are all very endearing.

Perhaps if he meets other members of the Interstellar Corps in the future, he can pass on news about Uncle Brave, and Fafnir—maybe the Interstellar Corps will take her in?

Give her the best education and resources, but still, Uncle Brave doesn't seem to want Fafnir to follow his old path.

Leave it to fate.

Xue Dili got up and saw inside the consciousness space a Treasure glowing with light.

[Savior Holy Sword (D~EX Class): A holy sword formed by gathering the prayers of all the world's people, capable of delivering a strike that can sever a planet when fully unleashed (Tier Six), needs prerequisite conditions to be unlocked.

Condition 1: Gather the world's prayers (prerequisite)

Condition 2: Fight for salvation

Condition 3: Not fight for personal glory

Condition 4: Fight to protect the future

Condition 5: Fight for a beautiful tomorrow

...

Condition 13: Fight for hope]

There are 13 conditions etched on this sword, making its use famously demanding.

But after meeting all the prerequisites, the sword can unleash a Tier Six strike powerful enough to cut through a planet.

However, Xue Dili knows it might be difficult to have such full release conditions again in the future.

This time, they wanted to maximize combat power, so each of the 13 blessings had even more demanding trigger conditions, specifically to deal with the Evil God's ultimate strike.

With such strict conditions, the blessings could be enhanced to terrifying levels, which alone could enable the Holy Sword of 13 Blessings to hit with planet-destroying power.

Even the first condition of gathering the world's prayers, he guessed, might be very hard to achieve.

But even so, a half-released or unreleased Savior Holy Sword would still be his strongest attack method.

Similarly, this journey wasn't just about the Savior Holy Sword; he reached Tier Three with a 2% experience bar in that world, officially stepping into the Legendary Level.

At the same time, he developed more magic, like the Eight-Section Light Wheel, Light Disc Blade, Light Beheading Blade, Splitting Beheading Blade, and others.

Before the journey with the old undead ended, he was already trying to develop magic heading towards "Holy Light Cutting." Diligence pays off, and now he has many light magics, enough to handle ranged attacks.

For close combat, the Savior Holy Sword ensures he isn't lacking in attacking power.

Additionally, there's a version of the "Summoning of Heroic Spirits" magic with extremely harsh usage conditions.

His attempt to develop this magic had a bit of an ulterior motive.

He wanted to see if he could summon the old undead, the Great Sage, or Uncle Brave using "Summoning of Heroic Spirits."

But clearly, he's not at that level yet.

However, this attempt proved he wasn't wrong to try the Rebirth of the Filth path; the ritual just needs further adjustment to be simpler and triggerable with easier conditions.

In fact, in the future, traveling to other worlds and performing a mass Rebirth of the Filth to reunite with local heroes isn't out of the question.

But, that might be a power he can utilize after reaching Tier Four, or even Tier Five.

For now, he might as well study the original version of Summoning of Heroic Spirits, refine it some, and reduce the conditions for usage.

Oh, he almost forgot.

Xue Dili took out the memory image from the Otherworld.

Let's edit it; it may not be as exciting as the last version, but it's still a fairly good experience.

He casually flipped through the content and suddenly noticed the slogans shouted by his old Greek friends during their charge.

"Don't steal my spotlight."

"Aeneas, you're hogging my spotlight."

"Stop affecting my coolest death; you idiots!"

Remembering their passionate cries while charging at the Evil God, Xue Dili couldn't help but burst into laughter.
