Chapter 1788 - 1322: Felix Extra (Part 2)_2

"I plan to strive to become Ash’s Angel. Ideally, he would lead me to the Heavenly Kingdom, and secondly, I would cultivate to become a Demigod and join them." Dedarose said, "The Gods of Four Pillars are silent, and Ash is preparing to challenge the Supreme Throne. I want to follow him and witness him ignite this world."

"Oh, so we—"

"There’s no us, only me." Dedarose shook her head, "I’ve never asked you to act with me. It’s not that I mind you, but if you don’t want to continue following Ash, you can leave at any time. Isn’t it painful for you to remember how you once liked Ash?"

Felix was dumbfounded, his face turning red to the very tips of his ears. He averted his gaze, not daring to meet Dedarose’s eyes, "I didn’t... I just..."

"Avoiding, denying, conflicted, in pain... Your expressions when you like someone are just like Irina’s." Dedarose’s face showed a reminiscent look, "When she liked that guy back in the day, she was in the same state as you are now."

Felix paused and asked, "Wasn’t Mom and Dad mutually in love?"

"That guy had a marriage engagement since childhood and later met Irina. Do you think it was easy for Irina to accept being a third party?" Dedarose laughed, "She struggled and worked hard for a long time."

"Since Mom was so miserable, why did they end up together? Why did they have me?" Felix couldn’t help but say, "If they had separated earlier, if I didn’t exist, maybe Mom wouldn’t have—"

"The first time I saw you was also the first time I saw that guy with Irina together. I remember the sun was nice that day, warm golden sunlight on the hospital bed. Irina cradled you in her arms, both she and that guy looked at you tenderly... I even pretended not to know you and came over to stroke your little head." As Dedarose came to sit by the bedside, she raised her hand and patted Felix’s head, as if traversing back twenty years to that sunny day, "Later, that guy did indeed fail Irina, but you are not an unloved child... You truly are their love’s crystal, their beautiful wish for the future."

"At least before succeeding the Duke, that guy worked really hard." Dedarose said softly, "But his feelings hadn’t had a chance to change before he accepted the Stars Blessing and left when Irina needed him most. Even if she wants to hate him, Irina simply can’t."

Felix froze, connecting many things in a daze, mumbling, "So Miss Lena, you were willing to risk everything to push forward the plan to shatter the Heavenly Curtain..."

Dedarose wiped the tears under Felix’s eyes with her thumb and said, "I’m not telling this story to influence or urge you, it’s just to prevent you from misunderstanding Irina. Whatever decisions Irina makes are unrelated to you; your life is only your responsibility."

"But your reason for being conflicted with Irina is the same; it’s the fear of the worst possibility, yet you’re willing to believe in the one you love. No matter how many reasons or difficulties, you both still think... he would create miracles."

Dedarose stood up and glanced at her, "Irina trusted the wrong person; do you think you see things clearer?"

After Dedarose left the room, Felix stared blankly at the starry sky outside.

After a while, she took out her star diamond necklace, held it in her palm, and prayed for peace to her mother turned into stars.

To avoid suffering, or to pursue happiness?

What should I do, in life... what truly is the correct answer?

At this moment, Felix felt a faint light in her palm. She opened her hand to see the star diamond necklace transform into a cocoon, starry light injecting into the cocoon to form her star in the palm.

With the sound of cracking, four radiant feathered wings pierced through the cocoon, a brilliant Technique Spirit emerged and stayed in Felix’s palm.

Four-winged Technique Spirit·Mind Star.

An autonomously summoned Four-winged Technique Spirit, a portal leading to the Ruby Mountain’s Gate of Truth.

Felix stared at the Technique Spirit for a long while before tightly holding it in her palm.

I understand now.

Instead of trusting others, trust yourself. If you’re bewildered, if you’re conflicted, stride forward boldly, don’t let emotions tie your steps, exert all your strength to reach farther places, to witness more views, life awaits with countless beautiful explorations.

Only effort will not be betrayed, only hope should not be extinguished.

She let out a heavy sigh, softly lying on the bed. Fate had given her a perfect correct answer; she would have no more apprehension or hesitation, only need to follow this path to the end; everything is already arranged.

Thank fate, thank the Star Cluster.

No delay, Felix immediately activated the Mind Star Technique Spirit’s Gate of Truth, connecting consciousness with the faraway Void Realm.

After a brief distraction, when she opened her eyes again, she was already on a grand Ruby Mountain.

Mage’s Holy Land, Ruby Mountain!

From today, she is a Legendary Mage!

Rather than chasing the backs of genius Female Mages, it’s better to become a genius Female Mage herself; this is the answer fate gave her! Ash, love, it’s all—

"Little Filly?"

Felix turned sharply and saw four Female Mages behind her, three of whom were familiar faces—Meiwa Freyja, Blood Saint Siflin, Witch Hanna.
