The ship settled down in the depths of the White Ice Sea. Loranhill used the power of the holy object [Iron-Slashing Stovett] to create a long iron chain, which he then penetrated deep into the seabed and embedded into the rock bed to secure it.
In this way, with the anchoring of about four iron chains, the white ship gradually stabilized on the sea and would not deviate from its position with the current.
In the following period of time, Loran Hill and Vimiya were responsible for going into the water to copy the textures left on the underwater ruins, and then handing them over to everyone on the ship at sea for interpretation.
It took a week to basically copy down all the textures on the red stone pillars that were specifically used for interpretation.
"It's time to go back." After completing a day's operations, everyone agreed that it was time to return.
However, not everyone will leave. Someone has to stay here to guard the discovered ruins to prevent them from being destroyed by other people and monsters.
"Let me stay here." Vimiya said to everyone.
"Loran still needs to go back and mobilize everyone. You all have your own careers and families." Her sea-blue eyes were soft under the orange-yellow light.
"Sister Vimiya..." Ye Ling and others looked at the mermaid singer, and many emotions surged in their hearts.
Finally, everyone stood together in front of Vimiya to express their gratitude, then boarded the white ship and slowly sailed towards the distant White Ice Sea.
In this way, the mermaid singer with long aqua blue hair sang the extremely distant ballad in her memory, bidding farewell to these friends.
"I seem to hear your voice now"
"Come here!"
"You said to me who was about to collapse in loneliness"
"Now I see you again"
『Towards』
"I am coming slowly, waiting for you with my eyes closed."
"Until yesterday, I was still crying with sorrow"
"And now my heart..."
"do you remember"
The moment our eyes met
"do you remember"
"When we held hands"
"That was us"
The starting point of the journey
…
"Now I can feel your gaze"
"Despite being separated from each other"
"But I still feel warm inside."
"Now I firmly believe in your love"
"So please"
"Even from afar, please protect me."
"Until yesterday, I was still crying with sorrow"
"And now this world..."
"do you remember"
The moment our eyes met
"do you remember"
"When we held hands"
"That was us"
The starting point of the journey
…
"I am no longer alone"
Because of you
『Never Alone Again』
"Because you're still here"
『Never Alone Again』
"Because you are still in my heart"
This somewhat familiar ballad brought back some memories deep in Loran Hill's memory. It was clearly not a separation of life and death, but just a short separation of a few years, but tears were streaming down his face without him realizing it.
She looked at the blurry blue-haired figure in her tearful eyes, waved her arms at her, and kept talking, saying that he would come back to see her as soon as possible in the future, and would pick up the endless longing and nostalgia conveyed in this song again.
At the end of the 20th century, it was a glorious and prosperous era for mankind. After the end of the war, the world entered a rare period of peace. Science and technology developed rapidly. It took only a few years from entering space to landing on the moon. Various science fiction works emerged in an endless stream. The two major interest groups on the earth had not yet completely fallen. In order to prove the correctness of each other's paths, they continued to innovate.
Society is progressing, people's lives are improving, and the whole world is full of beautiful expectations for the future. Various science fiction animations and movies are emerging one after another. Creativity and ideas are pouring out like an explosion, so much so that people think that such a world will continue forever.
But the dream was eventually shattered, leaving behind endless regrets. It is hard to imagine that in the following decades, technology gradually stagnated. Even if people wanted to land on the moon again, they had to rely on archaeological excavations to discover previous technologies. No one cared about the magnificent and boundless starry sky in the distance, but was trapped in endless internal struggles and trivial matters.
It was not until the sudden change, the end of modern history and the beginning of the twilight age that people began to pick up the regrets and dreams they had at the beginning of the millennium.
'It's time to set sail again.'
On the way back, Loran Hill stood on the deck at the top of the ship, holding the railing with one hand, looking up at the blue sky above his head and the distant stars hidden in the sky.
The white dress fluttered in the sea breeze, and the waves hit the side of the boat, stirring up bursts of tiny, cool water droplets, like an eternal melody.
…
Year 1729 of the Third Era, the year of the departure
The ruins discovered in the White Ice Sea bring the world a history buried in the dust, as well as hope for the future.
Fleets from all countries and ethnic groups carried people and supplies across the vast ocean, heading south, crossing the equator, passing through the distant sea, trekking through the broken white ice sea, and finally arriving at the place where the dream originated.
Thirty thousand years ago, humans awoke from a hibernation device deep in Antarctica, ushering in a glorious and splendid twilight age. Today, humans are once again digging out the gifts left by past history in the cold deep sea of Antarctica, passing on the knowledge, regrets, lessons and experiences contained therein.
Three years later, the offshore city of Phoebe, initially accommodating nearly 100,000 people, was built next to the ruins of the White Ice Sea. Using newly discovered technology and anti-gravity devices, it became a floating city on the sea.
