"Look here," Leng Yue said as she left, noticing the photo wall in Dean Song's office.
The photo wall was filled with pictures of children, teachers, and the principal. Every child looked happy and close-knit. It was completely different from the indifference they remembered. If it weren't for the children's genuine smiles, Leng Yue really wouldn't have believed it.
"Contribution Record Book?" Next to the photo wall was a thick booklet with the words "Contribution Record Book" written on it.
The two exchanged a glance and slowly opened the pages one by one. Each page had a name, along with the dates they arrived at and left the orphanage, and what contributions they had made to it.
Some of the children here, after being adopted, returned to the orphanage after achieving success in their careers, doing what they could to help. Whether through donations of money or goods, they did their best to improve the orphanage's situation. They are all striving to create a better environment for their younger siblings.
Some children were not adopted, but they never forgot the orphanage after they grew up. They regarded it as their home and would come back regularly to do volunteer work or buy daily necessities for the children.
Others simply returned to become teachers, and like their former teachers, took care of their students, passing on that love.
“There are many more teachers here than there were back then.” Leng Yue looked at the photo wall and then at the names in the ‘Contribution Record Book’.
“Perhaps, this world is no longer the same as we know it,” Qianchen replied after pondering. “The flame protected by the six-pointed star may not be anything else, but an order that maintains the stability of the world.”
"Order?" Leng Yue also fell into deep thought. "You mean, the world was chaotic before, and the appearance of the six-pointed star brought the world back to its original order?"
"That's about it." Qianchen nodded. "To verify our hypothesis, we should go and look around."
Leng Yue thought it made sense, so she opened the Anywhere Door and took Qian Chen and Quan Xi to visit various places.
"First stop, the slums." Leng Yue and Qian Chen unanimously chose the place they had stayed before, the second most familiar place in this world. The first, of course, was the orphanage.
The pigeon lodgings are gone, the coffin rooms are gone too. The formerly filthy and chaotic slum has been transformed into a large shopping mall. The mall is surrounded by residential compounds, inhabited by all sorts of people. Everything is ordinary, just a normal living environment.
The people coming and going in the mall were all different kinds, but there were none of them making such exaggerated romantic outbursts.
"This is so normal. Are all those weirdos gone?" Leng Yue looked at this prosperous and developing world and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Afterwards, they visited many other places, where everything was harmonious, with no class distinctions or naturally born protagonists. This place truly became a healthy and thriving society!
The main and supporting characters of Qiong Yao dramas have completely disappeared from this world, and everyone in this world has become the protagonist of their own life.
"Where did that world go?" Leng Yue was dumbfounded. "Was it swallowed up by the six-pointed star?"
What kind of power could separate these merged worlds? And who set up this formation? There are just too many questions.
"Master, you keep talking about a six-pointed star, what does it look like?" Quanxi had been hearing this term for a long time and became curious as well.
Leng Yue then used her spiritual power to draw a six-pointed star shape in the air. When she finished drawing it, Quanxi was so frightened that she jumped into her arms.
"Master, this is evil, don't draw it, it's not a good thing." Quanxi shook her head in fear.
Leng Yue tapped her finger, and the pattern disappeared. She pulled Quanxi out, "Quanxi, you've seen this pattern before, haven't you?"
Quanxi nodded and then shook her head. "It's like I've seen it before, but it's also like I haven't. But Quanxi is very scared."
Leng Yue comforted Quanxi, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the six-pointed star is gone." Then she looked at Qianchen, "It seems that our guess may be the opposite of the truth. Perhaps the six-pointed star is not the spark of the original world, but the spark of the chaotic world."
Qianchen looked at Quanxi and said, "What you said is not impossible. Perhaps your disappearance back then was related to the owner of this six-pointed star formation."
"I think so too. What makes Quanxi so concerned must not be an ordinary formation." Quanxi usually clutches her head in distress when she's reminiscing. Since what she remembers is something she's afraid of, it's likely a former enemy.
"Perhaps the six-pointed star brought the world of Qiong Yao dramas and forcibly merged with the original world here, but the fusion was not successful." Qian Chen thought of what Leng Yue said and made a guess. "The world of Qiong Yao dramas is a world that cannot develop stably, so a six-pointed star was created to preserve the embers."
"Why was the formation suddenly activated?" Leng Yue didn't understand this at all. Wasn't it supposed to be the guardian of the chaotic world? Why would it actively activate and separate itself from this world?
"Perhaps they sensed a threat, or perhaps the world fusion failed back then. If they hadn't left, this place would have collapsed soon. And we just happened to trigger the mechanism and activate the formation ahead of time. So, they took the opportunity to escape." Qian Chen was also speculating, searching for the most reasonable explanation.
"Perhaps," Leng Yue wasn't sure either, "So, is the world stable now? Will the chaotic world of Qiong Yao dramas make a comeback?"
Qianchen smiled wryly, "Yueyue, I was just guessing too. I don't know the answer to such a profound question!"
Qianchen never became the ruler of the world; at most, he was just the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha. Although he gained some enlightenment at that time, because he was concerned about Lengyue, it was all just superficial understanding.
"Master, I want to go back to the small world. I'm so tired." Quanxi looked very unwell. After all, she was a merman and couldn't stay in the outside world for too long.
Leng Yue was dumbfounded, "I don't even know where the small world is?"
Quanxi held Leng Yue's hand, growing weaker and weaker. "That bead, Master, quickly take out the bead."
Leng Yue then remembered that she had taken a transparent bead from her small world. She had simply forgotten where she had put it.
Leng Yue quickly rummaged around and finally found the bead in her sleeve. She took it out and held it in her palm. "What should I do?"
Quanxi looked at Lengyue, then reached out and touched the bead. "Master, you said, 'Let Quanxi in.'"
Leng Yue did as instructed, and as a result, Quanxi really disappeared. "This bead is the small world?" Leng Yue was stunned; it turned out that this small world really was hers.
"Shall we go in and give it a try?" Qianchen also wanted to see if the small world was still the same as before.
Leng Yue followed the same method and actually returned to the small world with Qian Chen... or rather, it should be called the big world now!
The small ecosystem has expanded tenfold. It's starting to look more and more like a real world. The spiritual energy is becoming increasingly abundant, and the number of species is growing exponentially!
