A place surrounded by stars

As the name was successfully engraved, the twelve divine seals shattered and merged into Christine's body. The desires in everyone's heart were connected to it, which was the expectation for beauty and the pursuit of hope.

Twelve sounds overlapped one another, as if coming from the distant past.

They said, "I admit it."

The last bit of opportunity came, and all the light in the sky merged into Christine's body. The blond knight opened his arms, shining with divine light and full of majesty.

The barriers of fate were thus broken, and the thirteenth god ascended to the throne!

With a clang, something in the world seemed to shatter.

In the universe, countless giant beasts float and swim, and in their translucent bodies, one can vaguely see the running worlds. One of the giant beasts suddenly began to struggle fiercely, but the struggle soon calmed down and fell into dead silence. He uttered a resentful curse, and after a thousand years, he will return again.

There will be no chance—the boy answered in his heart.

Mason stood up shakily, his strength turned into a shovel, he grasped the handle with both hands, and forcibly dug out the root of the tree. Mason no longer knew what pain was, maybe people really become numb to a certain extent.

The world is twisting and history is shaking. Time creates the pale universe and then destroys it. The monsters and humans living on this land are terrified. Something is happening, but mortals know nothing.

Christine realized something, and smiled. He gazed at the dark sky, and took a step forward calmly. His body turned into a star, rising to a very high and far place.

Breaking through the boundary between reality and illusion, Mason opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a star falling towards him.

He slowly stretched out his hand, and a seed fell into his palm.

The boy threw the seeds into the pit and watered them with his own blood. He poured all his remaining strength into the pit, nourishing the newly born seeds.

——How much do people in the dark age yearn for hope?

It's probably like life's innate pursuit of light.

The World Tree summarizes the history of this world and is indeed very important.

The premise is that this is a world tree that belongs to them, to mankind!

With hope as the seed and the first fruit of the world tree as the guide, all memories are gathered into a long river of history, pouring back into the seed. The seedlings break through the soil and new branches emerge in an instant. The phantom of the goddess of fate walks towards us, splashing clocks of different shapes as she walks.

He personally destroyed his own divine weapon, and with the efforts of everyone, he finally changed his predetermined fate.

The goddess smiled beneath her veil and disappeared completely. The last pocket watch fell on Mason, and the hands turned back, restoring the boy's wound. Mason opened his eyes and saw the endless river of history flowing.

When the world tree was created, it produced its first fruit, giving birth to several primitive humans. They played with each other innocently, and occasionally looked up at the outside world. It was an endless and deep void.

The little brother who loves to play pranks the most curled his lips and said, "There's another one hanging out outside. I don't know what's so good about that. Is he really considered our brother?"

The future God of the Burning Sun said, "Of course. The thirteen of us brothers are as close as a family. He is ignorant and will eventually devour everything, symbolizing the destruction of everything."

Having said this, He sighed slightly. He had a premonition that there would be a fight between Him and the other party in the future.

The evil spirit swam through the void, devouring energy by instinct. Its body was chaotic and lightless, and its huge limbs swayed slowly like a fish in the deep sea, stirring up an invisible storm in the void. Its huge mouth swallowed everything, unaware that it would fall into the human world in the future, incubate in a flesh cocoon, and cause a bloody storm.

A few years later, the original humans who became gods sealed him. A flesh cocoon fell on a high mountain in the human world. A blond knight happened to pass by and found this strange little fellow.

"Is this some kind of monster egg? Take it back to Nasir for research."

He muttered to himself, bent down and picked up the egg. But his hand slipped and hit the egg on a stone. Under the panicked eyes of the knight, the egg cracked. The blond baby cried weakly, his eyes as blue as the ocean.

A merchant dripped blood on the summoning array, his face blurred in the darkness. The devil lord responded to him on a whim, laughing softly: "What do you wish for?"

The merchant replied hoarsely: "Please bring my daughter back to life."

"This is a very common wish. Of course it's fine. But you need to exchange it for a human soul. If it's okay, please sign this document."

A piece of parchment floated in front of the merchant. He glanced at the black-haired girl who looked like she was sleeping soundly, bit his finger and signed his name.

Wait for me, Gloria, Dad will definitely resurrect you.

A long time passed.

The missing man-made god stopped and stared blankly at the bird flying on the cliff. The bird wanted to escape in panic, but was forced to fall to the ground and cry because of the god's power.

His body was covered with wounds, revealing broken parts and wires. A slightly stiff female voice came out of his mouth, with a hint of confusion.

"Warning, the aircraft has suffered serious damage. It will cease to function. It will cease to function."

"I am not a man-made being. I am a human. I am a god."

"Warning, please perform maintenance immediately, please perform maintenance immediately."

"I can't go back. The system is broken. I am in danger."

"Warning, warning..."

An old man carrying a medicine basket walked slowly towards him. The rugged mountain road seemed flat in front of him. The chaotic aura of the artificial god had no effect on him. He looked at the half-destroyed artificial man with pity, and the merciful God of Medicine sighed softly.

"Poor you, your heart is telling me it's in pain. You need healing."

Machines are ruthless, and it is humans who insist on interfering with their evolution. This is why dead things have unnecessary emotions. This is a blessing, but also a curse. The only thing is that miracles should not appear in this world that is about to be filled with darkness.

"Are you willing to make a deal with me? I will help you realize your wish, and you will give me your ability."

"Deal? Wish?"

"Yes. Those who come after you will inherit your name and history and live on as humans. If there is a chance, you can even allow androids to progress towards humans and have their own [heart]."

"Lilith, I want to be a human."

The broken android's eyes flickered, and finally he nodded heavily. She flicked out her own heart, the artificial godhead was shining brightly, and its perfect prism was like a gem.

The old man accepted the heart, smiled and nodded, then closed his eyes as he looked at the man-made god in front of him.

Then, the old man's figure disappeared. The lush green tree stretched out its huge crown. The sky above was full of stars, revealing a huge vitality. The God of Medicine threw the artificial godhead in his hand into the air, and the latter turned into a star, hanging forever in the sky.

A voice said, "Another Godhead has joined us. What a cause for celebration."

Another voice said, "We are facing a disaster unprecedented in history. We must work together. I see endless destruction ahead, and our death."

Other voices said in unison: "Isn't this something we've known for a long time?"

In a small village, a baby was born crying. His mother caressed his cheeks lovingly. His dark golden eyes and red hair would never be recognized by his family. But it didn't matter, because this was her child. The blonde woman leaned over and kissed him tenderly on the forehead.

"Don't worry, Mom will definitely protect you."

The grown-up child ran recklessly in the mountains. During one of his expeditions, he unexpectedly met a knight. The knight pinched his face and said, "It's dangerous to run out like this. Where are your parents? Well... It's a pity that Canaan didn't come. Otherwise, you two are of similar age and should get along well."

Destiny is like water flowing in the world, penetrating space like a river flowing downward.

Countless branches merge into it, which is history. Various lines intertwine together to weave a huge fork.

When the vest's history was completely integrated into the past, Mason felt something was different. A lot of information poured into his mind. It was his vest, but it was not his vest. It was a complement from fate. Everything he set became a reality.

With these supplementary memories, the power of the vests was further enhanced, feeding back to the newly born World Tree.

The world wiped away the dust in his eyes, and he had complete control over the World Tree. He could make it bloom and bear fruit whenever he wanted. The starry sky was vast and boundless, and figures walked past him, nodding and smiling. Countless igniters gathered here, and their thoughts and beliefs turned into a sky full of stars.

This is the future.

A future that was created by gods and humans together, a future that should not have been possible.

The boy grinned and couldn't help laughing. His eyes sparkled and he stretched out his hands toward the stars high above.

"Go, find the right people and guide them onto the right path. I will bestow the authority of the gods upon mankind. From today on, the black mist is no longer the master of this world. The predetermined fate has been broken, and everyone can become his or her own god."

The black mist dissipated. The dark velvety night sky was inlaid with moon pupils, and the flesh-like clouds moved in the wind.

Until a certain moment, something flickered in the cracks of the fleshy cloud. One, two, and then thousands. Endless stars bloomed like a storm, filling the originally dark night sky.

In Ya'an, Vera, who was on patrol, suddenly looked up and stared blankly at the starry sky. Just across the wall, the surviving children in Amei Town ran out one after another, crying and laughing at the bright stars. They hugged each other and shouted, "It's stars! It's stars! It's real stars!!"

The brilliant meteor shower fell from the sky, crossing an incalculable amount of time and space to reach this place, and was reflected in everyone's eyes. Countless meteors streaked across the sky, dragging brilliant tails of flames towards the earth, burning with all their might.

It was as if the world had stopped at this moment. People looked at this scene in amazement. Even the oldest people had never seen such a beautiful scenery.

The stars scattered and disappeared when they hit the ground, and dots of light intertwined and scattered on the earth. The divine nature dispelled the dark fog in the sky, and their power was reflected into the human body, cleansing the other's body and giving it new strength.

Therefore, wherever humans pass, they are surrounded by stars.
