**Atmosphere Team Leader, Erbao Su Heng**: Responsible for music and "energy snacks"! He contributed his twin pacifiers—the gold one blew cheerful bubbles with a "wind tune" of blessing! He licked the black jade one, then tucked it next to Canjian (though Xiao Jue quickly stopped him), euphemistically claiming it was "a treat for the road! Sweet and savory!" He also requested the most festive tune, ultimately choosing Ashina Golden Wolf's passionate rendition of "Ode to Grassland Milk"! (His Highness the Wolf King, forced to perform, blushed and roared from the audience, "Guhong! You are the eagle of the grassland! Fly! Awooo!")
**Scene Designer Sanbao Su Yu**: Responsible for the "Homeward Journey" special effects! He used dragon horn energy to project a dazzling "Avenue to Heaven" above the courtyard, composed of starlight and rainbows! At its end, a swirling, warm vortex of nebulae simulated the origin of heaven and earth. He also meticulously "planted" both sides of the avenue with tiny, everlasting flowers made of energy.
**Process Consultant, Dabao Su Chen**: Responsible for ensuring the core elements of the "Returning Ceremony" are executed flawlessly. With a stern expression, he used an abacus to calculate the optimal timing for "soldiers' dissolution" and the spiritual guidance path, ensuring Jianjian's "soul" could safely embark on the Great Starry Road. At the same time, he acquiesced to his younger siblings' somewhat boisterous farewell, reasoning that the pure and intense "blessings" and "reluctance to leave" of the adorable children might serve as the best shield for the spirit as it traverses the turbulent void.
As night falls, the sky is filled with stars.
The courtyard was decorated like a dreamland. Starlight, rainbows, holy lanterns, tiny energy flowers… all shone brightly. In the center, the broken sword "Guhong" lay on a small Tai Chi Dao Yun altar. The blade was still scorching, but its humming sound seemed to carry a hint of… anticipation?
Xiao Jue, dressed in a plain robe, stood solemnly before the altar. Su Li, bulging with belly, stood nearby, her hand gently resting on her abdomen, as if telling the Fifth Treasure to remember this touching moment. Ashina Golden Wolf, forced to play background music, roared at the top of his lungs.
"It's time!" Dabao Su Chen counted on the beads in a loud voice.
Xiao Jue took a deep breath, fully activating his Shattered Void state! The Tai Chi Dao rhyme emanating from his body surged towards the broken sword like a tangible tide! He pressed his fingers together like swords, his fingertips condensing the purest, harmonious, and compassionate Tai Chi power. He slowly pointed at the crack on the broken sword's blade, which was burning with golden flames!
"Good luck, old friend!"
The moment your fingertips touch the crack!
Buzz——!!!
The broken sword erupted with an unprecedented, clear, and long sword cry! The sound pierced the clouds and split the rocks, yet it was filled with a sense of relief and liberation! It was as if it was bidding a final farewell to this world!
The sword shattered with a sound!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only countless crystalline fragments, gleaming with metallic luster and golden soul flames, scattered like stars! And in the center of the fragments, a condensed, warm, yet exuding an endless and vast aura of a golden sword spirit, curled up like a sleeping baby, slowly rising!
"Jianjian's soul is out!" Sibao Su Qi pointed excitedly, "Qiqi will light the way for you! It's warm! You won't get lost!" She used all her strength to activate the strawberry birthmark, and a warm and firm beam of holy light accurately enveloped the golden sword spirit!
"Hengheng will blow bubbles for you! Protective shield!" Erbao Su Heng puffed up his cheeks and blew out a huge snot bubble that shone with colorful light and was blessed by a golden pacifier, gently wrapping the golden sword spirit inside!
"Yu Yu's Rainbow Bridge! Walk steadily!" The light from Sanbao Su Yulong's horn was blazing, and the starry rainbow avenue instantly extended to the feet of the sword spirit, and the light was even brighter!
"The journey home has begun, and there will be no obstacles ahead!" Dabao Su Chen waved his little hand, and the cause and effect abacus shot out a golden light, guiding the sword spirit to the precise coordinates of the nebula vortex!
Wrapped in holy light, protected by a bubble, supported by a rainbow bridge, and guided by golden light, the golden sword spirit seemed to sense the pure reluctance and blessings of the adorable babies. Its curled-up posture slowly unfurled, as if stretching. It "looked" at Xiao Jue below it, conveying a faint but clear thought: "Thank you... for protecting... your new life..."
Then, it turned into a dazzling golden stream of light, rushing towards the rotating warm nebula vortex along the Starry Rainbow Avenue without hesitation!
"Goodbye, Jianjian!"
"Be happy!"
"Tell us when you find a new home!"
The cute babies waved their little hands vigorously and shouted with tears in their voices but with great sincerity.
The moment the golden light sank into the nebula vortex, the entire vortex shone brightly! Then it slowly faded away, and the Starlight Rainbow Avenue also dissipated.
In the night sky, only the stars are twinkling, as if there is an especially bright and warm star.
The broken sword rang out, not as a dirge, but as a prelude to homecoming. The blade was shattered, its spirit gone, leaving only the long, farewell cry that echoed through the night sky, eventually dissolving into the gentle evening breeze.
**Section 3: Pacifier fragments and a new beginning**
On the altar, only a few metal fragments, which had lost their spiritual luster but still shone brightly, remained. They lay there quietly like scattered stars.
Xiao Jue looked at the fragments, his heart empty, yet strangely relieved. His old friend was back home; this was the best possible outcome.
"Dad! Jianjian's clothes (fragments)!" Sibao Su Qi ran over and squatted beside the fragments. There were still traces of tears on his little face, but he was more curious.
"Sparkling! Hengheng wants it!" The second child, Su Heng, also came over and wanted to grab it with his chubby little hands.
"Wait!" Dabao Su Chen stopped his brother, his face serious. "Although this fragment has lost its spirituality, it is made of a rare metal from outer space, 'Meteoric Tear Iron'. It contains a faint trace of the essence of the stars, and is stained with Dad's Tai Chi Dao rhyme, our blessings, and... the aura of the final return to the source. It may be of great use."
