Her long, silvery-white hair flowed down her sides, the ends of which were tinged with a starry purple. Her bangs gently covered her face, and the delicate headband on her forehead and the wheat-ear-shaped halo at the back of her head complemented each other.
His body is composed of shimmering mosaic pieces, as if condensing fragments of countless worlds.
The tight-fitting robe featured blue and purple patterns that swirled like nebulae, while golden lattices wrapped around the neck and torso, and the trailing skirt resembled a cascading galaxy.
Surrounded by the phantom of millions of beating hearts, every detail speaks of the grandeur and gentleness of harmony.
Her eyes were closed, and her arms were outstretched, as if extending a warm invitation to all things in the world. Surrounding her were the phantoms of billions upon billions of beating hearts, as if telling of the harmonious resonance of all life in the universe.
Everyone present, including Jiang Lin, stood frozen in place.
Hippe's three faces slowly opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes kind and gentle.
On Sunday, Xing, and... Jiang Lin, all three were being watched by him at the same time.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like a fleeting moment, until everyone came to their senses after Tong Xie Xipe disappeared.
For a moment everyone fell silent, but after only a short while Xing was the first to cheer.
"I really am the protagonist."
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking at everyone with a smug expression.
"I have embarked on the path of harmony."
As he spoke, Xing put on Mikhail's hat and struck a pose on the spot.
This made everyone's lips twitch, speechless at Xing's obliviousness.
Jiang Lin, meanwhile, was trying to process the information he had just received.
Under Hippe's glance, an idea involuntarily surfaced in Jiang Lin's mind.
He didn't know where the idea came from; he only knew that it appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment before taking out the phrase, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."
"So it has this function after all... Fu Li, what exactly does He want to do?"
Indeed, the information he had just received was directly related to the light cone in his hand.
Just now, a kind voice appeared in Jiang Lin's mind:
"Draw upon His power—it is His grace upon you, the generous gift of universal harmony, and the coronation hymn played for you by the orbits of billions of stars."
(One more chapter will be posted tonight.)
Chapter 75 After the War
Jiang Lin fell into deep thought.
If he understood correctly, then this message meant that Hippe was willing to fully open up a path of shared destiny for Jiang Lin.
How much power Jiang Lin can gain from this light cone depends entirely on his own ability; consider it a special reward from Xi Pei.
However, this raises questions about the purpose and intended use of the light cone that Fu Li gave himself.
Jiang Lin then speculated that the true function of this light cone was to connect with and even store the Star God's destiny energy for his own use, with the Star God's permission.
The reason why the Hunting Path can use this light cone at will is most likely because Lan is really generous.
However, there is only one chance to draw upon the power of harmony, so Jiang Lin must be fully prepared.
It's best to have an expert or someone familiar with the operation watching you.
However... isn't Sunday the one who is familiar with drawing upon the power of Hippe?
Thinking this, Jiang Lin looked up in the direction where the original God's Lord's Day had been, and an uncertain thought welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Will he die on Sunday? After all, that blow was no small matter.
Hiss... At least wait until I've squeezed every last drop of value out of you before you die...
But before Jiang Lin could make any move, the train crew surrounded him.
"Huh? Jiang Lin, aren't you going to explain?"
The first to speak was March 7th, who looked at Jiang Lin with curiosity.
Although the others didn't say much, the way they looked at Jiang Lin revealed their inner thoughts.
Jiang Lin looked at the people around him, thought for a moment, and then calmly spoke:
"Maybe Brother Lan saw my potential, so he was a little more generous."
"Hey, get serious!"
March 7th muttered somewhat discontentedly.
Jiang Lin's lips curled up slightly, and he stopped teasing them. Since he had already been exposed, he might as well let them be.
Thinking this way, Jiang Lin briefly explained the matter of the light cone. Of course, he didn't reveal his own conclusion, since it hadn't been confirmed yet; it was just a guess.
During the explanation, Jiang Lin also took out the light cone and showed it to everyone.
March 7th was excited, but remembering that this light cone was created based on Jiang Lin's death, he restrained himself slightly, though he still felt a little emotional:
"The Star God of Memory created this Void Cone based on images of your future demise and then gave it to you. Could there be some conspiracy involved?"
At this moment, Jiang Lin was somewhat hoping that the prophet's identity on March 7th was indeed a fabrication; otherwise, he might have already been targeted by the gods.
But Xing didn't care about all that. Her eyes shone as she stared at the light cone in Jiang Lin's hand, her gaze almost stretching out like silk threads.
At this moment, Dan Heng was slightly surprised after hearing Jiang Lin's explanation. Then, as if remembering something, he quickly picked up his phone and sent a message.
Walter asked curiously, "Danheng, what are you doing?"
Dan Heng answered without looking up:
"I'm informing General Jingyuan and the others that they don't need to come anymore; the battle is over."
Valte nodded, but just then, a helpless voice came from behind Danheng.
"Why don't you look behind you?"
Dan Heng paused in his message-sending gesture, then turned around stiffly.
They were startled to see Jing Yuan looking helpless, and behind him, countless cloud riders and star rafts.
Himeko, Walter, and Danheng exchanged glances, and then the three of them went together to negotiate with Jingyuan.
Meanwhile, on Jiang Lin's side, Xing seemed to recall something, and her intelligence instantly took over.
"Jiang Lin, I just stood in front of you to protect you, and instead of being grateful, you kicked me."
Xing put on an angry expression, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and she put one hand on her hip as if she was plotting something interesting.
But Jiang Lin remained unmoved, calmly watching Xing perform on her own.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, Xing immediately put on a sullen, cat-like face.
"I treated you like my dearest friend, my brother. And this is how you treated me."
As she spoke, Xing exaggeratedly clutched her chest, looking as if she had been heartbroken.
"You...you must take responsibility for me."
This exaggerated acting left March 7th speechless. She put one hand to her forehead, wanting to get away from this abstract guy.
Just then, Jiang Lin saw Huang Quan not far away, and then looked at Xing, who was still performing there...
"Take it and play with it."
Jiang Lin directly slapped the light cone in his hand onto Xing's face. Anyway, the light cone could return to him at any time if he wanted to.
"Really? Godfather?"
Xing was excited and kicked the light cone that was smeared on his face into his pocket. Then, imitating Jiang Lin's actions, he also tried to draw that handsome longbow.
But unfortunately, she failed.
This made Xing, who had already struck a pose, feel somewhat awkward.
The person next to him, March 7th, burst out laughing without any restraint.
"Haha, hey, don't move, don't move, I'm going to take a picture of you."
Watching the two of them playfully bickering, Jiang Lin went straight to Huang Quan's side.
"They thank you for taking care of Miss Huang Quan before."
Huang Quan slightly raised his head, and upon seeing that it was Jiang Lin, replied in a calm tone:
"It's just a little effort."
Jiang Lin then got straight to the point.
Do you remember our promise?
Upon hearing this, Huang Quan tilted his head in confusion.
"What agreement?"
Jiang Lin sighed slightly and reminded him with a hint of helplessness.
"Regarding your experimental research, please rest assured, I am not a research freak and will not conduct any overly bizarre experiments."
Huang Quan blinked her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, when do we start? Oh, right, I remember you said you'd help me with research for a fee, right?"
Jiang Lin's lips twitched. He had just said he had forgotten about some agreement, but now that the reward was mentioned, he remembered everything?
But he still calmly said to Huang Quan:
"Through my research on you, I may be able to find a way to alleviate your current symptoms."
Huang Quan thought about it and felt that she wouldn't lose out no matter what, so she nodded in agreement.
"So when do we start?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then looked at Huang Quan seriously:
"If possible, please wait on the train for a moment. I have some other things to take care of."
Huang Quan nodded and then fell silent.
