At the same time, she seemed unwilling to look at the battle in the sky anymore, knocking Ling Yan unconscious, she lowered her head, as if she was contemplative, and as if she had fallen asleep, falling into the dreams of the past.

She was back to the afternoon when the sun was shining, sitting quietly on the steps, beside her lay an old turtle with a beard that touched the ground, squinting gently as if it were basking in the sun, watching the sun set.

Time is meaningless to it, but it is still willing to enjoy the beautiful scenes.

"Xuanye......" she whispered to the only elder who watched her grow up, showing a nostalgic smile: "Are you still awake?" ”

"What are you thinking? Silly girl? Stretched out his paws and touched his pale beard, showing a kind smile like a kind old grandfather: "What's wrong?" It looks so unhappy. ”

"Well......" she shook her head and expressed the confusion in her heart, "I suddenly realized that I couldn't save anything......

"Even if you have a strong aura, it's the same......"

"There is no omnipotent creature in the world, don't you see the old man, I can only be your mount?" Although I don't know why the usually lazy girl asks this kind of question, it's still quite happy that this girl is willing to use her brain.

Shaking her head, she whispered, "But, I want to protect everyone...... It's just that. ”

With that, she felt a claw gently caressing the hair on the top of her head.

"Unexpectedly, that lazy and unwilling girl has finally grown up?" It smiled emotionally.

Like an old grandfather, the Xuanye, who was a turtle, suddenly laughed, reached out and touched the top of the head of the little girl who was watching it grow up: "Unconsciously, I suddenly grew so big, from such a small to a big girl with troubles." ”

Feeling the warmth of stroking on the top of his head, Reimu suddenly lowered his head a little sadly: "Yes." I'm already very upset, facing the situation I'm in. ”

"Haha, has the little girl who has already established Gensokyo finally encountered a problem?" It teased the girl who was a little down, and then said with great seriousness, "If that's the case, pray, girl." Then make a wish. ”

"Not to the gods who don't make sense, but to yourself. Not to redeem mistakes, but to bless the past. It swayed its body gently and whispered, "If it's a mistake, take it seriously." Only in this way can tragedy be valuable and the existence of imperfection meaningful. ”

"As long as you have such 'strength', you will be able to find everything you desire. Even if there is no such thing as perfection, you can create it with your own hands. It's like the Gensokyo you've been longing for. ”

It looked at it with a look of fascination, and asked the question it had asked many times: "If you desire, what is it that you desire from your soul!?" ”

As if remembering something, she smiled, a beautiful and innocent smile: "Guard...... Guarding all new and existing lives...... Hug them and protect them...... Well, that's it. ”

Gazing at the child's cheek. It smiled proudly, "Reimu, you know what. Watching you grow up is happier than anything else. ”

As if looking at and caressing the proudest child, it whispered softly, "So, Reimu, grow up quickly, so that I can see you in your most beautiful form, old man." And also. I've been looking forward to the most things. ”

"What's that?" She asked calmly.

"Give your baby a maternity bath, listen to her call me grandpa or something." As if pouring out something it had been looking forward to for a long time, it smiled gently, and the place where it was staring, the girl it had seen since childhood, had disappeared.

It smiled bitterly. Squint your eyes again and enjoy the beauty of the dusk.

It still remembered that it was in this scene that it watched the shrine maiden leave......

Ahh Tens of thousands of years or thousands of years? I can't remember anymore, I'm old after all.

From a small turtle to the current appearance of the old king, it has seen countless tragedies and the grief of countless witches, and it still has to stick to it here......

What makes it stick? Maybe it's happiness, remembering the promise of the stupid girl......

Closing its eyes, it remembered the silly girl asleep on its back......

Retracted into its shell, it fell back into sleep, and only in a dream could it forget the unhappiness and back pain, and become the young man again...... Ahem, the time I spent with that silly girl when I was a young demon......

Suddenly, it felt like it was about to forget her name. Think about it...... By the way, her name is Bori......

Once...... The first shrine maiden......

―――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line―――――――――――――――――――――――

As if in a moment's trance, the sleeping girl reopened her eyes and returned to the dark sky.

Feeling the sadness on her cheeks, she raised her hand only to find that it was already covered with traces of tears at some point......

- Is that so......

She wiped away her tears in embarrassment, wiping them with her fully recovered limbs.

She looked at the sky with a smile, as if she was saying goodbye to the elder.

Because, she's already found a way to achieve the ending she wants......

From beginning to end, the path to the ending and the world she expects is hidden in the things she escapes, and where she is truly 'powerful'.

In terms of 'martial arts', she was able to reach a level that was feared by the so-called terrible youkai with just a little learning, and although the progress was terrifying and even comparable to some of the big youkai, it was nothing more.

She herself understood better than anyone else that this was the highest level she could achieve in martial arts, even if she cultivated hard for another hundred years, she would definitely not improve in a thousand years.

On top of 'combat', 'completely handing over destruction to items and enchantments, and providing one's own magic to fight, such an opportunistic act is just a cover-up.'

The girl named 'Hakurei Reimu' has been insulated from the beginning of the world from the image of 'destruction', and the so-called power that can make the gods fear is only used as a cover for her most powerful power.

But...... Her real talent is not here!

What she has is a pure soul that the entire multiverse and infinite world will praise, and a pure white spirit will be praised by countless supreme powerhouses! Praised! He even worships him as saying, "There is no true God besides her!"

For her, just by whispering sounds, she can easily reach the heavens.

So, Reimu, remember!

There's no need to pursue any more perfect endings! You are the embodiment of all perfection and beauty! Original idea!

Here, the voice of the call for miracles begins! Make a prayer that once made the infinite people praise!

So, a low and pure prayer bloomed from Reimu's throat, "I love everything, I want to embrace everything, that is an instinct that comes from the depths of my soul, I, love all life, I want to hold them in my arms, and I am waiting for them forever." ”

The soft sound spread, like a fresh breeze, flew up into the clouds in the sky, rolled up the ripples in the water, and skimmed over the city's sky......

The sound of prayer from the pure white spirit resounded all over the world!

In the darkness, the sound of prayer spreads, turning into a miracle sound that resonates with the entire infinite world!

In the heart of the distant dimensional sea, in the pure white light that encompasses all things, a beautiful woman with her body turned into a chain opens her eyes and smiles.

Showing a smile that she hadn't shown for an unknown amount of time, she whispered with joy in the waves of light: "Lord Ayi, he ...... Sure enough, did it still work? Let those children carry everything back on their backs? (To be continued......)

PS: I always feel that the Xuanye is written awesomely, but according to the concept in black history, it is indeed awesome~
