Amphoreus, Xu Qiong Bath Palace.
As important figures, Tiresias, Mydei, and Aglaea had successively returned to the timeline where Stelle and Dan Heng were.
Of course.
This did not prevent them from using the 'stone slab' to chat and communicate in the group during their free time.
At this moment, the group chat was filled with Castorice's divine images and videos flying everywhere.
[Cipher: Sending screenshot (Castorice.jpg)]
[Cipher: Sending video (New character 'death's' demigod, Ashen Hand's attendant is out!)]
[Cipher: May death defend you and me!]
[Cipher: Meow, embrace rebirth!]
[Castorice: ...]
[Castorice: L-Lord Sai Feier, please send a little less, if you keep this up, I'll...]
[Castorice: Castorice covering face.jpg]
[Cipher: What are you afraid of, Woju Princess? Hui Zi made you look so beautiful! I wish I had that!]
[Cipher: Also, Teacher Xia hasn't said anything, what are you shy about?]
[Anaxa: Correction... never mind, it's not that I don't feel ashamed, it's that I'm too lazy to comment on such behavior.]
[Anaxa: I don't know what circumstances would make me laugh like that, it's like a rampaging Earth Beast.]
[Castorice: But...]
[Castorice: Castorice shy.jpg]
[Tiresias: I think it suits Castorice very well. Although Castorice usually seems quiet and gentle, when it comes to protecting everyone, she doesn't hold back at all.]
[Aglaea: My Teacher is right, the demigod of 'death' should have the aura of 'death'. This posture is indeed in line with the demigod of death in everyone's hearts.]
[Castorice: Really? So both of you feel that way? Then it seems Lord Xu Qiong specifically took care of me.]
[Cyrene: Everyone, let's pause the chat, the livestream is about to begin~]
...
Xu Qiong was already debugging the equipment.
These past few days, he, Castorice, and Cyrene had prepared the livestream materials, and even invited the cat along.
Of course, in addition to the recorded broadcast, some easter egg segments in the follow-up livestream were prepared with real people.
So, sitting in front of the screen, Cyrene and Xu Qiong waited for the countdown to reach zero.
At this moment, the number of viewers in the livestream room was growing, and Xu Qiong's backend data showed it had already exceeded ten million.
Not only that, various forces were watching this livestream.
Himeko of the Astral Express, Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan of the Xianzhou, Topaz and Aventurine of the company, and even some old timers from the club who never show up.
People with ulterior motives wanted to find their desired answers through this livestream.
[Here it comes, here it comes, the countdown is about to end!]
[Xiao Guizi has entered the livestream room—]
[So many people! The bullet comments are lagging, stop spamming!]
[Xiao Guizi sent Universe Captain*1, may this journey finally reach the stars!]
[Holy cow, even big streamers are here?]
[And sending gifts? Universe Captain has been sent out!]
A moment later.
The countdown finally reached zero.
As the black curtain slowly fell.
"You once wanted to leave a snowflake for her."
Almost without warning, a voice came out of nowhere!
Like the opening of an old movie, silent, soundless, mournful, accompanied by white text on a black background.
According to convention, the PV would definitely be the first to appear.
"I also want to reach out my hands"
"Only because I want to plead, please don't, don't linger in the instant of touch and farewell."
"But my hands, do not know how to depict the form of life."
The scene slowly unfolded, with Castorice holding an old woman who was dissipating into purple butterflies in her arms, her expression sorrowful.
[There's a picture! There's a picture!]
[golden epic 'Life Awakens from a Dream'? Starting with a PV? So exciting!]
[Such a sad pantomime-style performance, this quality...]
[Is it a PV about Castorice?]
The narration continued.
"Warmth is only for a moment."
"Coldness is long."
"Like your homeland that reveres death..."
Finally, she fell into a deep sleep in the wind and snow.
Like the 'Ocean' afflicted by Trickery, like the 'sky' pierced by strife, shedding tears of blood.
Various magnificent epic paintings unfolded before their eyes, and the PV recounted the war of the Titans.
But they all eventually walked towards 'death'!
Castorice overlooked all of this from high above. She did not know why life blossomed, because she was death, and all things would eventually die.
"So I dare not gaze upon the garden of living beings in the land of the shadow of death."
"I am afraid that a promise will be followed by a broken one, a smile by tears."
"An embrace by eternal farewell..."
Gazing at the reunion, joy, and embrace of heroes, and their final silent departure.
Castorice did not understand the meaning of all this.
So, in the snowy depths of a winter night, she slowly embraced herself, collapsing to the ground.
"Better to stand still, never possessing..."
[Xiao Guizi: Opening with a bang, everyone! The Author's PV emotional delivery is so strong! It makes me want to hug Little Butterfly, boohoo~]
[Aventurine: A very philosophical episode. After all, humans were once trapped by their lifespan. Is the end of death necessarily nothingness?]
[Dimensional Trash Dump: I'm starting to admire the Author a bit.]
[As the demigod of death, yet confused about death?]
[No! It seems there's a twist!]
"However, death is not the end."
It was Aglaea's voice!
Shifting from the previous gloomy style, Castorice began to move forward under the guidance of the crowd.
Passing Aglaea's shattered statue, Path that sealed Tribbie, the cracked patterns on Anaxa's chest.
As well as Mydei with back injuries, Cipher who was dissipating, and Hyacine falling from the sky.
Of course, Phainon, engulfed in flames, was at the very end.
"The Fire Chasing journey will not end with my departure," Aglaea said.
"I'll go ahead, 'we' will definitely meet again on the West Wind Shore," Tribbie said.
"Receiving inspiration from death should be repaid in kind," Anaxa said.
Accompanied by solemn and inspiring narration, the clamor of voices grew, echoing in her ears like the whispers of a dream.
"Golden blood will not be shed in vain."
"True death is abandoning glory."
"I believe the seven-colored light will eventually pierce through the eternal night!"
"Don't be so serious, just play a game with death?"
It was Cipher, Mydei, Hyacine, Phainon!
They were all waiting for Castorice at the end of the road.
"Walk with us..."
"You can also speak for yourself."
This beautiful scene made many players in front of their screens widen their eyes, feeling a touch of emotion.
The hesitant Castorice finally seemed to have found her direction.
In the scene where she was surrounded by the Chrysos Heirs.
"I also want to embrace the world before death comes, just like you."
"Even if only once, I want to use these hands..."
[Himeko: @Welt@Welt@Welt!]
[Welt: @Himeko, I see her, Himeko, it's her!]
[Pom-Pom: Who, Pom?!]
The scene reached its final moment.
The Astral Express family group chat was instantly flooded.
Although they were in different locations, both of them simultaneously noticed Stelle suddenly appearing at the end of the PV!
Castorice gently approached her, injecting a ray of light into her chest.
"To give a withered flower rebirth—!" she solemnly declared.
At this point.
The PV officially concluded.
Finally, only a vertical line of white text on a black background remained, ending abruptly like a long, old movie.
"Even if snow eventually melts into snow, I hope you will still leave a snowflake for me."
