Chapter 568 The Last Gathering
In September, Tilan returned to the Harp Crown in the Emerald Star Domain and started a new semester.
This semester, Dolores transferred to the Academy City to study and joined the star cluster where Tilan was, doing financial clerical work.
In the following six months, Arnansha no longer trained as strictly as last year, but began to teach the singing girls the various knowledge and secrets that they normally need to learn, as well as how to deal with official institutions, how to deal with conflicts and contradictions, how to avoid political crises, how to ensure their own safety, etc., these practical parts.
The six months passed very fulfillingly, and nothing unexpected happened. The singing girls still went to class as usual and occasionally got together, but compared to the previous four-person group, it became a six-person group including Odney and Pulin.
At the Winter Festival Gala, the six people sang together and participated in the grand gala held by the government. This live broadcast was also seen by many federal residents.
After the New Year, Tilan and several other singers gradually came into contact with large-scale team tasks, and the time they spent together began to decrease. In this way, time slowly came to April. After a long period of preparation, Tilan released a new song album.
In the activity hall of the "Lacquer Night Flower" star cluster, a group of members watched the MV of this new album for the first time.
First, the projection gradually opened up, and what appeared in front of everyone was a world where ruins and natural plants coexisted. Around the collapsed uninhabited buildings, there were verdant wild grasses growing, and occasionally rabbits and deer ran by, but the steel bars and cement fragments emerging from the weeds silently explained that this was once a prosperous world where humans lived.
The melodious and distant sound of piano keys came slowly, like the sunshine of the morning, gentle and nostalgic, and then a pair of feet in snow-colored short boots stepped on the grass, jumped lightly, and passed in front of the camera.
Then, the back of a girl in a silver-white uniform and long hair appeared on the screen. She jumped from the wreckage of the collapsed high-rise building and slowly landed in the canyon in the distance. As she kept moving forward, the camera followed her until she walked out of the canyon, and a bright world appeared on the entire screen.
This is a world full of ruins, but also a vibrant world. The collapsed magnificent buildings, the starships inserted into the ground are covered with moss, the buildings like arched star gates are only half left, and the remaining train tracks on the ground are covered with green ivy.
Standing at the exit of the canyon, the girl closed her eyes and hummed softly. Her soft voice was filled with hope and slowly floated in the wind.

...
The song was inspired by the history of the Fifth Era that Tilan had seen. It must be said that watching those shocking and devastated historical records had a great impact on her, so much so that she would occasionally recall the records between the lines in her dreams.
In order to express the long-lasting sadness in her heart, Tilan composed this song to commemorate that distant era.
After the song ended, the room became extremely quiet. Although most members had not read the history of the Fifth Era, they were still immersed in the emotions revealed in the song.
"There is always a faint urge to cry, but it is not so sad, and there is even a hint of nostalgia." The students who listened to it commented.
"I don't know. Anyway, after that trip to the Granso star field, President Tilan seemed to have become a lot more taciturn, and sometimes she would stand by the window in a daze."
"President Tilan has always been a quiet person."
"No, Tilan used to complain about us a little, but since then, she seems to have matured a lot, and is not as cautious and introverted as before."
"President Tilan has grown up, too. To be honest, President Tilan looks too young, and I always have the illusion that she is my sister." Among the members in their twenties, Tilan, who looks about 17 years old, does look younger.
"President Tilan is also very cute when she is in a daze. Her slightly sad eyes are really unbearable and make people want to protect her in their arms."
"Hehe, I guess I'm just thinking about it. President Tilan is still very strong in fighting. Didn't you see that the top masters in the group said that she is unfathomable?"
"Okay, stop talking to you two. Do you really think Tilan can't hear? The perception of the singers in this aspect is very strong."
After the discussion, when Tilan appeared in the activity room, everyone applauded again. Such enthusiasm even made Tilan a little uncomfortable.
Without too much explanation and narration, it was only stated that the theme of this album was to commemorate those distant times and times, and then it was officially released.
In this year, the scale of the 'Qi Ye Hua' star cluster has continued to expand. Now the number of people has reached nearly 500, which is five times that of this time last year.
As several new generation singers gradually grow up and mature, their different personal styles are gradually revealed. Someone on the Internet has made comments specifically for the six people.
First of all, in terms of popularity and fame, Orles is absolutely the first. She debuted the earliest, and she also has the blessing of an elf family. In addition, her appearance and temperament are excellent, which can be said to be a huge advantage.
The second is Blanche. Her fame has risen rapidly thanks to the unexpected failed assassination, as well as the ironclad support of the vast number of residents in the Northwest Star Region. Although the Northwest Star Region is barren,
it has a large population. The next is Shui Yanqing. She has attracted a lot of attention because of her different bloodline identity. Her life experience spanning thousands of years has also been called a legend by many people. In addition, the giant company behind Shui Yanqing is extremely good at commercial packaging and planning operations, which makes her fame high.
Then there are Pulin and Tilan. The number of fans of the two on the Internet is not much different. Most of those who like Pulin are rock enthusiasts, while those who like Tilan are from all kinds of groups and are relatively low-key.
Often looking at the discussion on the forum, Tilan's section has not been very active, but once the new album is released, it sells faster than anyone else. It makes people want to ask, who is buying Tilan's album?
Finally, it was Odney. Odney was the least famous among the six. It was not because she performed poorly. In fact, she was not bad in the singing world. But the others of the same age were not simple. In the pan-Eastern cultural circle, there was another "Red Ray" Luo Fenghua who took away a lot of fans, which led to Odney's ranking falling behind.
After the release of the new album, it first sparked a discussion in a small circle, and then the popularity of Tilan slowly declined. She didn't care about this situation at all. After all, there was no large-scale publicity at the beginning. Instead, several friends around her were worried about Tilan, especially Orles, who asked if she wanted to help Tilan promote it, but was later rejected by the girl.
The third grade slowly came to an end. This semester, Elukelu, Luo Fenghua, and Jian Xiner officially graduated. From now on, Tilan and others will be the singing seniors who stay in school.
"There will be a new singer coming to the Golden Flame Flower Academy next semester." During a lunch, Pulin mentioned something that was of concern.
"Who is it?"
"'Blue Bubble' Mei Lulu." Pulin mentioned a name that Tilan was familiar with.
"So it's her."
"Is she the only one?" Tilan felt that there were many singers in her class.
"Yes, there are not so many singers, so our generation is a bit special."
"Time flies, it's almost the fourth grade."
"Next semester, we will also gradually leave school and go to various places."
"Yes, just like Senior Jian Xiner and Senior Luo Fenghua, we will also take our own teams to realize the path of various places step by step."
"Yanqing is going to prepare a gene origin exploration organization, right?" Tilan asked.
"Well, because the Federation is still very opposed to gene editing, so for now, we will focus on proving the origin of human genes and normal evolution and change, and slowly correct everyone's ideas." Shui Yanqing answered.
"As for me, I plan to form a large opera troupe to pass on the legends of the Third Age and earlier times in a form that everyone likes more." Odney said her future plans.
"What about Orles?" Tilan tilted her head slightly.
"I will probably perform back and forth between the Twin Trees Star Region and the Emerald Moon Star Region. My family has already arranged it." Orles said with a little helplessness.
"I plan to go on a tour around the Federation first, and then decide on the future direction." Pulin told her future plans without waiting for Tilan to speak.
"What about you, Tilan?"
"Me?" Tilan thought
for a while. "First, travel around and conduct a social survey, and then return to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region to prepare to unite with the southern star regions to carry out a certain degree of economic reform."
"It's really grand." Pulin thought for a while and shook his head, feeling that it would be difficult to achieve.
"Let's try it first." Tilan also knew that this was not an easy task.
"Where is Blanche?" At this time, someone asked the slightly ordinary singing girl next to him.
"Hey, me?"
"I'm probably going to go back to my hometown first, just like Tilan. I've received a lot of love from everyone, so I want to try to repay everyone." Blanche expressed her simple wish.
"Is that so."
"We're going to be separated soon. How about we get together during this vacation and visit all the tourist attractions in Harp Wreath together?" Pulin suggested.
"It sounds like we won't see each other again for many years." Odney covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Okay, I have no problem." She agreed.
Seeing this, the others also smiled and agreed.
"It's true that it won't be so easy to get together in the future. I guess everyone will have their own careers to be busy with in the future."
"I suddenly feel a little reluctant."
"This is growing up. Sooner or later, we will leave school and fly to our own skies."
"Next time we meet, we must celebrate well."
"It's a deal."
"Yes, it's a deal." The six people overlapped their hands.
