The special abilities of the Sage World were activated once again, and the powers of the Sage Magician and the Sage Empress also completely disappeared.
Only two ordinary babies remained.
When Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen returned to the Imperial Capital Ji Family Villa District, it was already two-thirty in the morning.
Wen Fengmian, Luyan, and Su Wen had already retired for the night.
Ying Zijin did not disturb them, as she answered her phone while heading upstairs.
On the other end was Zuo Li.
"Classmate Ying, a miracle! It’s simply a miracle!" Zuo Li’s voice was excited. "Do you know? The Celestial Body Center just published a report studying a massive asteroid!"
"Many scientists are going crazy, not knowing how this asteroid just narrowly missed Earth. I’m also baffled; I thought I was going to die."
Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She looked out the window for a while, then smiled slightly: "Then it was worth it."
Zuo Li didn’t understand: "Classmate Ying, what did you say?"
"I said—" Ying Zijin leaned on her computer chair, whispered, "As long as you all are here, it’s all worth it."
"I’m here, I’m here, but my hair is not." Zuo Li’s expression was serious. "Classmate Ying, you must write a paper on such a good topic!"
Ying Zijin’s expression instantly disappeared: "...I’m hanging up."
She set her phone to do-not-disturb mode, then opened her computer and logged in to the NOK forum.
A group of foolish big shots was still posting in the forum.
[I told you, believe the Diviner, and gain eternal life!]
[0.01m, just a bit more and we would have been finished.]
[The Diviner said it, how could it be false? While you guys were worried about the apocalypse, I was at home watching anime.]
[@I’llGiveYouAMedicine]: Scared me to death, scared me so much that I didn’t even wear clothes.
[Big shot, didn’t you go to the International Virus Center? Didn’t you have clothes? By the way, I want to buy some sunscreen.]
Ying Zijin supported her head, raising her eyebrows.
It seemed everyone’s life was normal.
After browsing through the posts, she opened her private journal and slowly typed the first line.
[January 1, 20xx, the ninth world-ending level Disaster, we have safely navigated through it.
Perhaps among the crowd, I can feel that kind of true emotion.
I can see parents and children celebrating New Year, brothers helping each other, lovers in love beneath the moonlight.
I think emotions are the most genuine existence between people.
With emotions, I can love the whole world.
I don’t know if, much later, someone will come across these words I wrote.
If you do, please remember a few people—
Mr. Fool;
Miss Temperance;
Mr. Justice;
Miss Strength;
Mr. Death.
They protected our homeland and have been gone for a long, long time.
But they never regretted dedicating their lives to the land they loved.
I am fortunate to stand with you on the land where they once lived, gazing at the galaxy they once saw.
This story is very long; I may take a long time to finish writing it.
If you all have the patience to listen, I’ll write it down during leisure time and tell you about it.]
Beside the computer, a few portraits were placed together, the five smiling Sages on them blooming like flowers.
Ying Zijin turned these portraits towards the window, allowing them to face the outside world.
The complete night of New Year’s had not yet passed, and the nightlife of the Imperial Capital was just beginning, brightly lit.
Fireworks bloomed one after another, rendering the dark night bright as day, dazzling and resplendent.
Ying Zijin gazed at the starry sky, her expression dazed.
She recalled a long, long time ago, when she was still the frail Wheel of Destiny, and Grandpa Fool would bring her books.
It was then, the era when Disasters were frequent.
The Sages constantly fell to prevent Disasters, reincarnated to keep guarding against them.
