Chapter 1132: Chapter 513 Bitter Epilogue_2

"Thank you for your dedication, the Fairy Race will eternally remember your kindness, let me handle the rest."

The Fairy Lady sincerely bowed to Mu You, then headed with him to Dawn City, starting to gather the returning fairies as a member of the Royal Family.

Mu You did not know how she managed it, but the Fairy Lady only took a single day to successfully integrate the fairies from three nations, dissipating the hatred between them, and using the environment and materials of Dawn City, she began to create Statues of Gods for Mu You on site.

Once the situation stabilized, Mu You managed to return to Earth just before the gate closed, and immediately convened a temporary meeting with major representatives from various nations on the forum.

Mu You did not explicitly mention the three clones and his trip to the past, he merely briefed them on the situation with Gusha.

The fairies’ powers were directly connected to Gusha; should too many fairies die, Gusha would break free and destroy the world. Therefore, humans now needed to protect this batch of fairies.

Next, they needed to select a group of elite players to form contracts with these hundreds of thousands of fairies, and these players would also have to commit to protecting their respective fairies for a long time.

Although Mu You provided no evidence, everyone accepted his words without doubt; after all, there was no need to fabricate such matters. Moreover, regardless of the threat from Gusha, contracting with fairies was an immensely beneficial affair for humans.

Not to mention anything else, the mere benefit of helping humans maintain their youth was enough to drive countless players wild.

Thus, upon Mu You announcing the news, not a single person objected onsite; representatives from various nations and major forces even started arguing over the number of fairies they could take in right there and then, each wanting to secure as many spots as possible for their nation.

As for that, Mu You left it to them to argue out, his only requirement was that the final selections must meet the criteria, not only in strength but also character; no mistreatment of fairies could occur.

Of course, there wasn’t too much to worry about in that aspect; after all, contracting with the Fairy Race brought nothing but benefits. Unless someone was mentally disturbed, no one would mistreat them.

After some arguments, the representatives quickly divided up the available spots for contracts and went back to prepare and arrange their personnel.

Meanwhile, Mu You had already discussed with the Fairy Lady that, once the fairies finished sculpting the Statues of Gods after a month, they would migrate en masse to the Forgotten Land to form contracts with the Fools. Afterwards, it would depend on the fairies’ own desires; those who wished to stay would remain on Earth, and those who did not wish to could return to the Star Spirit World. The cities of Eternal Night, Starlight, and Dark Night in the Sky City, which had no plans for flight, were ready to receive them at any time.

...

Three days later, Bitter Garden.

"This is the last batch, right?"

The three clones stood not far from the Teleport door of Sky City, watching the last group of fairies and humans, with large and small packages, queue up to step into the vortex-shaped Teleport door.

"We should also be going..."

Watching the Sky City promptly becoming desolate, the Watchman sighed, turning to gaze at the floating Red Fairy behind him.

"Miss Tina, are you returning to lead the Fairy Race as a member of the Royal Family, or..."

"Hmph!"

Before the Watchman could finish, Tina coldly huffed, "Don’t think Tina doesn’t know, you, this person, are actually very weary in spirit. Without Tina by your side to supervise and serve as your emotional support, what if your heart gets corroded by Gusha soon?"

"So, Tina will reluctantly follow you a while longer... But let me make it clear first, it’s not because Tina wants to follow you, but rather a reluctant move Tina is making to ensure the world’s safety, so don’t get the wrong idea!"

The Watchman smiled at her, "That’s really great, I feel much more assured with Miss Tina around."

At this moment, not far from them, Ling Long knelt on the ground, hands supporting himself on the surface, looking devastated, "My harem... My three thousand beauties that I painstakingly collected over four thousand years, all disbanded in one day... And Isabella is gone too... Why is it only me who suffers..."

"It should have been disbanded long ago, that’s simply an unhealthy lifestyle..." While Ling Long muttered to himself, suddenly a voice came from behind.

Ling Long instantly turned around with a surprised look, spotting someone at a certain spot, where a small green Fairy sat perfectly camouflaged with the surrounding vegetation on a tree branch; had she not spoken on her own, it would have been hard to notice anyone there.

"Isabella! I knew you wouldn’t leave me!" Instantly filled with joy, Ling Long dashed over, lifting Isabella into his arms and rubbing his face against hers.

Isabella slightly pushed away Ling Long’s face with some disdain, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed, "You must promise, from now on, if there’s anything, don’t hide it from me... Also, no more binge eating, maintain a regular life."

"I know, I know, as long as you come back, everything will be as you say. You truly are my favorite!" Ling Long obediently nodded repeatedly.

While the two clones and their respective Fairies were happily mingling, on the other side, the lone Medicinal Plant Gatherer suddenly walked away towards a small path and pushed aside some bushes by the road.

"Ah..."

Behind the bushes, the aged figure of Gege Wu was revealed.

She had been hiding here, watching from afar, not expecting to be discovered in such a manner.

Being discovered in this way, Gege Wu felt so embarrassed that she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself right there.

"Teacher, I..." Gege Wu forced herself to sit upright, trying to compose herself. She looked down, weakly trying to defend herself, but couldn’t think of a suitable reason. Her hands tightly clutched the hem of her dress, trembling with nervousness.

"Gege Wu, you have worked hard over these years."

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer suddenly spoke, "Because of your efforts, we were able to successfully save the past and the future."

"Teacher..."

Gege Wu looked up in surprise, tears welling in her eyes.

Previously, she had learned that the reason her teacher had her stay in the Bitter Forest was not for her education, but to wait for Mu You’s arrival to complete the loop of history.

Realizing she was really just being used as a tool, it was impossible for her not to feel heartbroken.

However, at this moment, hearing her teacher’s words, the grievances in her heart instantly dissipated completely. It seemed, with that single sentence, all her previous sacrifices were worthwhile.

"Over these years, have you suffered a lot?" the Medicinal Plant Gatherer asked again.

"Ah... no, not at all!" Gege Wu was startled momentarily and quickly shook her head, but her slightly averted gaze still betrayed her insincerity.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer sighed, looking at the aged woman in front of him, and took out a metal rod from his sleeve.

"This is the Archive device. By touching it, you can return to the past, regain the appearance and heart of your youth, and forget all the painful memories."

Gege Wu stared at the short rod being offered by her teacher, subconsciously reaching out her hand, but just as she was about to touch it, she hesitated for a moment and then withdrew her hand.

"Is this the gift you prepared for me..."

Gege Wu let out a bitter laugh, "If that’s the gift, please allow me to refuse..."

"Oh? You don’t want to regain your youth?" the Medicinal Plant Gatherer looked at her, somewhat puzzled.

"No, it’s just that I don’t want to forget the events of these years..." Gege Wu said with a wry smile.

Four thousand years ago, before she came in contact with the Archive device, she and her teacher had not had much interaction. It was after the Great Cataclysm that the Medicinal Plant Gatherer officially took her as a disciple. The events she experienced with her teacher were predominantly after the archive. If she were to touch the Archive device now, all those precious memories would vanish, and she and her teacher would once again become strangers who merely crossed paths, not even proper friends.

This was something she absolutely couldn’t accept; she preferred to grow old, wanting to preserve these memories.

"It seems Ling Long was right..."

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer, seeing her reaction, didn’t withdraw the metal rod, but instead took out a potion from his other hand.

"This is the Rejuvenation Potion, specially formulated for you. Taking it will rejuvenate your body to about eighteen years of age. It won’t affect your memories, but there might be a five to ten-year deviation and some risks."

"I originally thought these future memories would be painful ones you would want to erase. An Archive device would be the most suitable choice for you. Since you don’t think so, whether to forget these memories, the choice is yours."
