Star Odyssey

this time.
She wanted to stay on Sourcepeak Planet, but unfortunately, the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society was relocated to Frostwave Weave.
This brat’s been kicking up a fuss that I have no other choice but to take her to Frostwave Weave’s Lockbreaker Society.
After all, her tutor is Felynn, and having a tutor is definitely much better than groping about alone in the dark.
What does Brother Lu think?” 

“If Brother Wei wants to come to Frostwave Weave, then feel free to do so at any time.
I can take Brother Wei on a tour.” 

“Alright, then it’s settled.
Brother Lu, I’ll see you on Zenyu Star.” Wei Rong laughed.

Lu Yin smiled.
“See you on Zenyu Star.”

He disconnected from the call and looked back at the androids, as he had made a decision.

Wei Rong had roamed through more than half of the Outerverse, but he had never set foot in any of the eastern weaves.
First, there was the question of safety, and second, there was the fact that he had never felt that the eastern weaves were worth his time.
They had the fewest number of cultivators, and they also possessed no special resources.
But now, he was arranging a special trip to Frostwave Weave, not only because of the Lockbreaker Society, but also because of the Great Eastern Alliance. 

The scattered eastern weaves were clearly not worth his attention, but the unified Great Eastern Alliance was different.
All of a sudden, a colossal creature had appeared to the east of his own weave. 

The moment the Great Eastern Alliance was established was the moment it became Wei Rong’s enemy. 

Lu Yin had not known what type of person Wei Rong was, but the events on Sourcepeak Planet had left a deep impression on him. 

Even without Geoffrey, the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society was still an absolute monster, but despite that, it had still been toppled by Wei Rong, and he had even lured away a number of Lockbreakers.
His methods were rather scary, and while his personal strength was not worthy of Lu Yin’s attention, his strategies were extraordinary. 

It seemed as though he was planning to make a move against the Great Eastern Alliance, and Lu Yin realized that Wei Rong might even meddle with the upcoming Alliance Conference. 

Lu Yin left the Technology Department and returned to King Zishan ’s palace, and when he returned, he noticed Hai Qiqi through his domain.
She was sitting alone in the sitting room with her head hanging down, and fresh tears occasionally fell from her eyes. 

Lu Yin hurriedly headed to the sitting room and went over to her.
He squatted down and looked at her reddened eyes.
“Qiqi, what’s the matter? Who bullied you?” 

Hai Qiqi looked up at Lu Yin and pursed her lips.
A single tear dripped down and fell onto his hand as she hazily pleaded, “Can you rescue the Fireplume Tribe?”

Lu Yin was bewildered.
“What’s the Fireplume Tribe?”

Hai Qiqi passed the dairy over to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin took it from her.
“I picked this up by accident.
Did you read it?”

Hai Qiqi nodded.
“Rescue the Fireplume Tribe.”

Lu Yin was astonished, as it seemed that Hai Qiqi had been crying because of the diary.
He was curious, so he sat down and flipped it back to the first page.

‘Today is the happiest day for our Fireplume Tribe, as the nightmare that has plagued us for many years has finally ended.
We invited our hero, who’s outstanding and tall, to celebrate.
He towers in the heavens just like a guardian angel.
We cheer for him, pray for him, and as the Fireplume Tribe’s princess, I, Ellen Gale, will personally pray and sing for him.
He likes our songs! Though to be fair, who in the universe doesn’t? Our Fireplume Tribe is more gifted in music than even the Souldream Tribe, and our songs can cleanse one’s soul…

‘We’ve left our home to follow him.
He wants to take us to a place where we’ll never be oppressed again.
He tells us that he wants our songs to spread throughout the universe and to guide people to be better.
I like him, and I may possibly even love him…

‘This planet is truly beautiful, and the place where I’m staying is really beautiful as well.
We’ll stop here for now, as he wants to hear us sing.
He truly enjoys listening to us sing.
I’m really happy…

‘He’s been injured! The doctor says that our heart’s blood is required to heal him.
Our Fireplume Tribe is willing to offer our blood, as it will only require a bit from each person to gather enough.
We are all willing to offer him our all…’

…

‘I’m a little tired.
We’ve continuously played and sung for him every day for a month.
Our throats have become hoarse, and we also offer blood from our hearts daily, so our bodies have become frail.
I’ve told him this, but he still wants us to sing.
So many of our sisters are so tired…’ 

…

‘Today, a child died! She died right in front of us, and she was killed by him! He says that evil blood flowed in that child and that she would have affected the others.
I begged for mercy, as the child’s expression was pure and clean, and I could feel her innocence.
He even thought that my pleas were nothing more than a game.
In the end, my pleas were ignored, and the child still died.
I’m beginning to feel that he’s a little scary…’ 

…

‘I’m afraid! During this time, he’s killed many of us.
One time, the blood even splashed into my eyes, causing the world I saw to turn red.
I’ve tried begging him, and I’ve tried using our songs to try to guide him.
However, nothing seems to work…

‘Five sisters have gone missing, and I don’t know where they went.
I don’t even know whether or not they’re still alive.
The way he looks at me scares me—it feels like a king looking at ants.
He forces me to sing and pray, and all my sisters have become frightened.
I want to leave, since he’s changed from what he was like in the beginning.
He’s changed.
Or, it’s possible that he hasn’t changed and that he was actually like this all along…’

…

‘No matter how beautiful the lie of our environment may appear to be, it cannot conceal the truth that we are living in hell.
Our Fireplume Tribe’s songs are able to guide people to goodness, but they cannot guide him.
He is a true demon, and he’s killed thousands of our sisters.
I don’t know why, as we have been very obedient to him.
Why does he have to kill us? All I see anymore is red…’ 

Lu Yin directly flipped to the end of the diary, as the middle of the book was a lengthy section describing all the changes Ellen Gale had undergone.

‘I’ve truly gotten lost, as the feelings that I held for him when I first saw him still haven ’t vanished.
Even if he’s a demon, I still like him.
He’s killed so many people—many, many people, including my tribe members.
However, the time that we’ve spent together has been too long, and he has imprinted himself onto my heart.
Alright, I will face my heart head on…

‘White and black both exist in the universe, just like in his hair.
But there’s also a trace of grey, and this grey might be the source of evil.
I don’t want to die, as I want to guide him to goodness.
But it seems that I must use my life as the price to cleanse his soul.
I have stabbed my eyes, as I don’t want to see his evil face anymore.
I will use the remainder of my life to sing, and ferry him to goodness…

‘I’m not fated to be with him in this life, but I’m willing to use the remainder of my life as the price to atone for his crimes, and also as a form of repentance for him.
From this day forward, I will never stop singing, not even if I lose my voice.
Not even if I turn to bones! I will sing and pray for him until my last moment, and I will draw out his goodness.

‘This is my swan song,

‘-Ellen Gale’
