Chapter 113 Part 2: The Savior Learned the Truth and Collapsed Coughing Up Blood (2)
With piercing cries, painful screams, and hysterical roar, their struggle was like a strong and short symphony, withering and turning into ashes within moments.
Dream Weaver Rabbit looked at the scene of Calamity Seed being destroyed, expressing a mix of shock and joy, as if it had found a treasure. The complexity of emotions on the AI’s face was hard to imagine, as it displayed expressions through the cartoon rabbit image.
The super AI spread the message everywhere, bringing holographic projections of important figures through permissions.
Everyone watched a brief 3-second video and a series of data, remaining silent until they digested the information and started discussing:
"Unbelievable, who could have caused this? All Grade E and Grade F Calamity Seeds suddenly dropped in activity within three seconds, forced into sleep mode and shutdown."
"It’s not just shutting down, from the data, every Calamity Seed in the Magic Cube Prison seemed to be completely burnt out, beyond recovery."
"Great celebration, whose troops are so valiant and fierce?"
"It’s clear, looking at the timeline, it can only be Chu Yuanqing and Kirimi Miyuki, they just returned to base and must have triggered an unexpected chemical reaction after using the Artificial Lantern."
"Did Chu Yuanqing just put on the Artificial Lantern and create Flowers Bloom? No, the data shows that the wavelengths are not the same."
"It was terrifying, truly a treasure of our Donghong Federation. With just a bit of magic power, she unleashed a powerful surge covering Zhelong Town. Such incredible magic efficiency, like a chain reaction in the magic system!"
"Crown her! Crown her!"
"Debut her! Let her debut right away!"
Everyone was overjoyed and couldn’t contain their happiness.
Even if the Calamity Seed from the Magic Prison were to disappear, it would greatly impact the progress of the competition and require more funding from Daxia. However, compared to the sporadic brilliance shown by a certain savior, this cost and trouble seemed insignificant.
Dream Weaver Rabbit, calm and objective, intervened numerous times to deter radical proposals.
The super AI mentioned that Chu Yuanqing had just been embraced with warmth on the "Dazzling Stage." It was important for the child to experience the joy of being an idol, to feel the love and support from the whole world, in order to ensure her love for humanity, the world, and peace.
If the truth of the world were revealed at this moment, there was a risk of shattering the small idol’s values, tainting her pure and beautiful heart with fear. How could a grand stage be created to banish Disaster then?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became calm.
"Dreamweaver is right. We must be very careful, otherwise we might unintentionally become the villains of humanity!"
"In times of great importance, we must remain calm. Just like how the Sacred United Country only revealed the truth to the public after their saintess sensed something was wrong. We, the Donghong Federation, must also act mature and stable."
"We must carefully manage the public opinion about Chu Yuanqing. We need her to love the world, humanity, and idols. There should be no signs of online bullying."
"This applies to all the other idols who have awakened their Heart Flow. It is our duty to protect them."
…
…
As discussions were going on in the central chamber,
Chu Yuanqing was controlling her emotions, hastily leaving the Heart Flow training room.
Even though she acted stubbornly and managed to defeat the Calamity Seed at the underground core with the help of her strong willpower and the magic power inside the lantern, using too much focus beyond her limits caused the battle with the cursed forces to become unbalanced again.
"That was really silly, too impulsive."
"What if those Calamity Seeds are valuable research materials?"
"I don’t care, it’s just wrong to expose those children to the influence of the Calamity Seeds."
"It doesn’t matter, what I should worry about now is whether I will be summoned by the official of ‘Dazzling Stage’ soon."
Chu Yuanqing regained her senses, feeling both regretful and anxious. With blurred vision ahead, she managed to reach the door of her dormitory with only a little willpower left.
The girl walked into the room somewhat unsteadily, then proceeded to the bathroom. Her magical disguise had reached its limit, and her hair turned pure white like fading color, her clear eyes reflecting a golden tint. She weakened and knelt on the ground, starting to cough up blood uncontrollably.
In the depths of her soul, the cracking of the glacier became even louder.
The palace of memories was gradually submerged in the icy waters.
That was thick and heavy malice, like an immortal devil in hell, greedily devouring any fragment of warmth.
Loneliness and fatigue were like an abyss, swallowing her over and over again.
The halo of the incandescent lamp blurred at the edge of her pupils, the dripping sound of the faucet was so noisy, the summer cicadas’ chirping hallucinatingly grand in her ears…
But all of a sudden, in the moments of the curse rebounding, everything was abruptly pulled far away, so far as to be unreachable.
Her consciousness plunged into a sea of shattered glass, falling like torture into the deep abyss.
As if,
A prisoner seeking redemption.
The curse of the Sea of Truth went wild.
Chu Yuanqing’s consciousness fell into purgatory, intense agony and despair entwined, her soul like dry, crackling leaves, shattering and then, in the stubborn radiance of a dim light, desperately trying to heal back into its original form.
Broken.
Fixed.
Broken.
Fixed.
This is the curse of the Sea of Truth, a punishment that overturns the destinies of billions of people.
17 years, 6205 days, 148920 hours, 8935200 seconds.
Chu Yuanqing endured similar pain throughout this lengthy time.
If she hadn’t bound the power of memes to herself, achieved the heroic task of self-remembering to save the world, and constantly undergone spiritual restoration, she would have died long before correcting the timeline.
Unrecognized achievements, unheard glory.
She is the savior.
The savior who was about to be drown and forgotten.
From beginning to end, there were no flowers, no applause, no congratulations for the savior.
The pure white wall that spanned the world carried the doubts and fears of the people, but it was the only old thing that could anchor her existence.
Every day on her way to work, Chu Yuanqing would look at it because she was afraid of forgetting who she was.
If forgotten, the cycle of the Ouroboros would be broken.
Her daughter would be left all alone, with no one to take care of her, care for her, and love her unconditionally.
So she must not forget, she must survive, live until… she no longer needs herself.
But now, the cruel truth is revealed before her, telling her that what she needs to bear is not only her daughter, but also the future of her and this world.
The disaster beast still exists, and the Calamity God may still come.
Chu Yuanqing must stay alive, fulfill her duty, and live until she can summon Levatin one last time to drag herself and the Calamity God into hell.
So,
— "Don’t die."
Chu Yuanqing once again spoke a magical blessing to herself.
At that moment, the overwhelming tiredness and despair were like flammable kindling, igniting a grand torch that burned into a towering pillar of light, pushing back the curse of truth that almost consumed her lifespan.
The abyss-like malice finally weakened, unwilling to admit defeat, fading away like seawater under moonlight, carrying suffocating coldness as it slowly receded.
Chu Yuanqing regained her normal senses, coughed a few times, tried to stand up to tidy her disheveled appearance, but felt a cool fingertip on her lips, wiping away the bloodstains, bringing a wonderful sensation.
"Little Qing?"
The girl looked up slightly, and the man’s platinum blonde hair swayed in her eyes, his stunning face filled with confusion and sadness.
It was indeed Xie Qingxuan.
