The surrounding barrier had shrunk to be very close. After Ning Xuan and Shen Yiyue disappeared from the space leap, Ning Yu finally let go of his worry and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Ji walked up to Ning Yu, looked at Ning Yu with calm eyes and a mysterious smile on her face.
"Take from me the weapon that will end it all."
Ning Yu understood the skill she was talking about: [Xuanpin Gate], but she didn't expect that it could be used on Yue Ji.
"Can even this ritual be destroyed?"
Ning Yu pointed above her head. The yin-yang fish was almost falling on her head.
Her body also began to become almost transparent, with only the gray mist in the middle radiating rhythmically like a heartbeat. "Your abilities will be greatly degraded. But you are not limited to the existence of an awakener at all."
Yue Ji listened to Ning Yu's words but did not answer.
"No, if I use it on you, not only will I disappear completely, but you too."
Ning Yu suddenly realized the meaning of this final contract.
By using the [Gate of the Mysterious Pin] on Tsukihime, the two of them will be infinitely close to the root, which is the truth of this world.
"Are you worried about me?"
Yueji seemed to sense something and seemed a little surprised.
"But I never existed. I am just a small fragment of the root."
"The knowledge in the root is so vast, and the mysteries within are so infinite that it cannot be described in words or in magnitude."
"You don't have to think too much about it, but I think this is also a common emotion for you humans."
She imitated Ning Yu and squinted her eyes, making Ning Yu feel as if she could see her usual appearance.
"Remember that when you open the gate."
Yue Ji's expression suddenly became serious.
"Don't look at anything, don't hear anything, don't smell anything, you have to block out all your senses."
"Eliminate all thoughts in your mind, and make sure that no thoughts arise, and your six senses are pure."
"In a moment of great silence, you will be in sync with your roots, and you will feel that everything begins to return to its roots, and this process will repeat itself over and over again."
"Finally, you will reach a wonderful state called 'Xuan Tong'. I cannot convey it to you in words, but you can definitely feel it."
"Then at that moment, you will take out the weapon I have transformed into."
Ning Yu listened carefully and wrote down everything she said.
"Is there any chance to meet you again?"
Looking at Yue Ji who looks exactly like him, he realizes that she also has the same fate as him, that she is about to disappear.
"I will not disappear. I will be in every corner of this world."
"You will find out."
Yue Ji showed a little girl's smile, and at this moment she finally had some human radiance.
"In fact, with your wisdom, you already knew all the consequences up to now, including what will happen next, right?"
Ning Yu stared at Yue Ji and expressed the thoughts that had been hidden in his mind.
"Including what Lacey did at the end."
"You've known this for a long time. You've been waiting for this moment."
Yue Ji did not comment, nor did she say anything to Ning Yu. Instead, she stretched out her hand and invited Ning Yu: "Come on, I am tired of this moment. Please give me peace and eternity."
Ning Yu seemed to have accepted her invitation to dance with her, and she also reached out and held Yue Ji's hand.
"With great pleasure."
The golden light representing the contract and connection between the two people suddenly jumped. They quickly condensed and changed, gathering in Ning Yu's hands.
Finally, it condensed into a golden key held by Ning Yu, which was emitting a sparkling light.
Like Ning Yu, Yue Ji's figure also began to become illusory, but the two were now completely enveloped by thick gray fog.
The gray mist appeared even faster than the ritual could absorb it.
The figures of the two people floated up, their foreheads touching each other, and the golden vortex symbols of the two people on them shone together.
A lock with a whirlpool pattern on it appeared on Yueji's chest. As Ning Yu's key approached, the lock gradually turned into gold, which represented the symbol of origin.
The gray fog around was swirling and flowing, leaping for this moment.
The two people opened their eyes and stared at each other at a very close distance.
Ning Yu had never seen Yue Ji smile from the heart, but at this moment she smiled sincerely, which made Ning Yu feel extremely relieved.
As Ning Yu opened the lock with the key, Yue Ji's face showed a slight look of pain, but she still opened her heart and let the lock be opened by the key.
Endless energy emanated from there, which was a sign of "the gate opening" as Yueji said.
Ning Yu closed her eyes, blocking all her senses, and felt her heartbeat become very slow.
She cleared her mind of all thoughts. The gray mist enveloped her, allowing her to feel some mysterious rhythm and trajectory.
Although she no longer had any feeling, Ning Yu could feel with her heart that there seemed to be something calling her from the front.
She stretched out her hand and reached into Yueji's body, seeming to take something out. All this was done unconsciously.
As it was taken out, Yueji's body began to decompose, and she showed a relieved expression, as if some mission had finally been completed.
Before her face completely disappeared, she gently mouthed the word "goodbye" to the senseless Ning Yu, but Ning Yu could not see it.
Yue Ji turned into countless gray mists and began to take shape in Ning Yu's hands, and her body finally disappeared completely.
The key that opened the door, the golden thread that represented the ultimate contract between the two people, merged into Ning Yu's body.
When Ning Yu opened her eyes again, she saw the sword in her hand.
It has no name, and the system doesn't give any prompts. It is just a very plain gray shape with the familiar golden vortex engraved on the hilt.
Ning Yu, holding the nameless sword, raised his head and looked at the Yin-Yang fish that was already close at hand.
She didn't make any movement, but just looked at the rotating Yin-Yang fish, and it stopped immediately.
Countless cracks suddenly appeared in the surrounding ritual space, and the stopped Yin-Yang fish turned into fragments and fell down.
The entire ceremony began to collapse, and Lacey, who served as the core of the ceremony, was about to disappear completely.
There was only divinity left in Ning Yu's eyes at this moment. She used the nameless sword to draw a sword light in front of her, and the light immediately expanded into a hole.
There was no color or light in the hole, but the Yin-Yang fish and the fragments produced by the ritual all began to move towards the hole and were completely sucked in.
The pillar of light in the sky of Blue Star lost its energy supply and suddenly disappeared completely, as if a switch had been pressed.
All the light balls that destroyed the blue planet disappeared.
The night, which was originally as bright as day, finally returned to silence and darkness.
Ning Yu looked at everything that ended in a hurry and felt as if she had reached an end.
Her figure suddenly disappeared from the dark underground.
Coming to the ground, I looked up at the beautiful galaxy that was shining brightly again.
I recall that not long ago, I was also longing for a starry sky like this.
The nameless sword in her hand turned into gray mist again and opened into a door in front of Ning Yu. The door was calling her, not allowing her to go anywhere else.
Ning Yu's eyes were calm. She just looked back once and then stepped into the door.
