“Relish the relaxation that comes after a great battle, my friend…”

Mr.

Lan walked back to the road, leaving behind only a ghostly blue silhouette and a phrase that gradually faded away.

“For the next fight will be even fiercer, even more ruthless.”

Before he opened his eyes, Gongsun Ce was guessing who he might see first and what kind of expression they would have.

Miss and Shiyu Ling were the most likely…

Mr.

Shiyu must have spoken to the Huojin God and shouldn’t be in a hurry…

Qiluo might just throw herself at him…

Lianna probably wouldn’t be in much of a rush…

Kardesia was definitely impossible…

Or maybe everyone was there.

That’s right, everyone should be there, huddled around his bed waiting for him to wake up so they could clap their hands and play pranks.

Gongsun Ce readied himself for the mischief, and with full confidence, opened his eyes!

“Thank God, you’re finally awake.”

The lady he saw was completely unexpected.

With golden short hair, silver armor, and her uniquely soft and gentle expression glowing in her emerald eyes.

The Seventh Knight, Orianna Cavon, sat by his bed, sighing with relief upon seeing him awake.

Gongsun Ce removed his glasses and, with the slow motion of covering his face, squealed in a thin voice on the bed: “It’s a phantom, I’m seeing an illusion!

Begone, phantom, dissipate!”

“Why can’t you be serious for even once!”

Orianna, in anger, swung her fist at him, and the young man with gray hair dodged like a worm, shouting, “A Royal Knight is hitting someone, hey!

Everyone’s watching!

A knight’s hitting someone!”

Orianna’s face turned red with rage and she screamed: “Gongsun Ce!!!!”

“Yes, I’m here.”

Gongsun Ce’s face underwent rapid changes, faster than a professional actor on stage.

He asked seriously,

“Orianna, you’ve come to Zero Island.

So the citizens this time…”

As he spoke, the young man was incredibly nervous.

He knew the Seventh Knight’s abilities, the manipulation of cause and effect, the rewinding of time, theoretically capable of redeeming anything with the miraculous power…

But he also knew that Orianna’s power was not invincible.

There are lives in this world that not even miracles can save.

Human beings turned to ash mist, humans crystallized, as had happened in Supibia three years ago, souls deprived of vitality by natural disasters…

He still remembers Orianna kneeling in the rubble, sobbing hysterically because she had exhausted all her power and yet failed to retrieve those lives that had faded, only managing to restore the shattered crystals to get one beautiful corpse after another.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce told himself to be mentally prepared.

He knew the good knight would do her best, and no one could blame her for her efforts.

Clenching his fists, he maintained a calm expression, determined not to add a single bit of pressure to his friend.

“Ah…”

The knight sighed deeply, and his heart lept into his throat.

“I tried my best…

and this time it was a great success.”

Gongsun Ce’s mind went blank.

He stiffened for two seconds, trying to figure out what “great success” meant.

Then he couldn’t help but break into a grin, joyfully raising his arms and shouting, “You truly are an angel!

A saintess!

Oh, Orianna!!

It’s wonderful!!!”

The Seventh Knight said shyly, “Please don’t say that!”

Gongsun Ce laughed joyously, wiping his face vigorously, and asked, “You know, I mean no reproach, but I’m just curious…

why did it go so smoothly this time?”

Orianna looked out the window, at the people on the streets jubilantly celebrating their survival from the Dragon Disaster.

“There are many reasons,” said the Seventh Knight.

“I am stronger now than I was three years ago, the people of Zero Island have deep-rooted beliefs in gods and Buddhas, the influence of the Huojin Realm on Zero Island has not completely faded, and the casualties this time are far fewer than three years ago…

Zero Island is too special a place, everything is different from the past.”

“I anticipated these factors and initiated the Creation Realm.

I kept convincing myself it would work this time, but as I prayed for the miracle to happen, my heart still trembled, panicked at the very likely possibility of an error.”

“And when the miracle actually occurred, I realized that the factors I had predicted weren’t what truly mattered.” Orianna turned to him, her gentle gaze on her old friend, “The reason this miracle actually happened is because of your struggle.”

Gongsun Ce scratched his head in confusion.

“Forgive my bluntness, my lady.

All we did was fight with dragons and battle crazy Impermanence Law Enforcers.”

“Do you know, Gongsun Ce?

Miracles need everyone’s strength.” Orianna lowered her eyes, “Without the Ninja fighting the Evil Spirit, without the warriors standing up to protect the citizens, people’s hearts wouldn’t harbor hope; if the influence of the Void Light Dragon had been deeper, more widespread, irreparable like the last time, there would be no ground upon which a miracle could happen.”

“It’s because you overcame all these difficulties…

that I could use the power of fate to bring about a return.”

Orianna’s eyes shone clear, without a hint of confusion.

Gongsun Ce felt embarrassed; he sincerely wished his elder brother were there to handle this, and not leave this awkward guy to hear such words.

He quickly changed the subject: “I remember the Calamity Phase being about unfair fate and difficult survival.”

The female knight narrowed her eyes nervously: “Who told you that!”

“I guessed it, really.”
