Chapter 859 - 478: The Ultimate Meteor Shower

Rear Joint Front, Holy Festival.

At least during this time, this is the most solemn holiday across the cosmos. On this day, except for those maintaining basic order, everyone is on holiday. Schools also organize their own Holy Festival parties, usually inviting parents to attend. After the children have a joyful playtime, there are several days of vacation.

And today, Fuge’s school is decorated with lights and colors, with various decorations already set up throughout the campus. Not only are there children, but parents from different races also come to participate in the celebration.

Even Little Fuge’s artwork is hung on the school’s wall of honor.

In fact, these innocent children’s scribbles often only elicit smiles at the school. Many children enjoy drawing every year, but how many truly become artists?

However, when a leader came for a secret visit and looked at the artworks, he repeatedly said "good," which was enough for this "little artist’s" work to become a regular on the school’s walls of honor and even win an award at this Holy Festival.

In the crowd, almost every child is accompanied by parents, whether it’s a mom and dad or siblings. They all bring their children to participate in the celebration organized by the school to accommodate the holiday.

But in the crowd, no familiar faces...

Dad, didn’t come...

Uncle Dominic, didn’t come...

And many, many familiar uncles and aunts, whether it’s Aunt Avril who always held her hand to play, or Uncle Catfish, who, despite looking ugly, awkwardly tried to please her...

And the strange big-eyed uncle, the insect race aunt who seemed to be clad in armor, the ghost aunt who always frightened her, Uncle Bone Dragon who bought her snacks...

All of them, not a single one in attendance...

She sits there stunned inside the school gates, watching the bustling crowd outside, hoping each time to see her dad and them come over.

Yet each time, only disappointment remains.

She silently clutches the speech in her hand, words she wants to proudly share with everyone, to tell everyone that her dad and uncles and aunts are agents on secret missions!

For a child, this is incredibly cool, an honor that one can brag about for years at school.

Besides this bit of vanity, she genuinely wants to tell her dad that she’s grown up, she’s become an outstanding good child whom her dad can trust.

Dad and uncles and aunts can go boldly execute their agent missions without worrying about her anymore.

She will become the pride of everyone!

But, but...

"Dang dang dang!"

The bell rings, signaling the start of the Holy Festival celebration, and this excellent student needs to get ready. After the principal speaks, it will be her turn to present "My Heroic Father and Uncles and Aunts."

But now, Little Fuge is just staring blankly at the empty street outside the campus.

...

Altar Star, the closest planet to the Cosmic Void.

Extreme cold and fierce winds ravage this planet. Beyond that, the ice crystals and land on the planet ascend upwards, not falling down but flying towards the sky, flying towards... the Great Void!

This phenomenon unfolds on the other side of the planet, and in this sub-zero 200-degree icy hell, a figure holds tree seeds in his arms and grips a talisman, advancing arduously across the ice fields.

The fierce wind and ice crystals tear at his body, his skin, muscles, bones...as if tossed paper into the ice fields, the edges start curling, and they turn into ice crystals.

He feels no pain, only a complete sense of "detachment."

"Dominic, you said your seeds should be planted on soil..." Yi Shan mutters to himself, tightly clutching the seeds in his hands, looking into the distance, finally seeing no more thick ice-covered peaks, and a smile appears on his face.

After all, Dominic’s seeds were not truly beacons. Yi Shan knows these seeds, storing a large amount of demon element, will definitely cause effects similar to other expedition beacons, but he doesn’t know how long it will take.

Therefore, he wants to choose the best spot.

The self-made flag of the 13th Expedition Team is hoisted on his back, fluttering loudly in the fierce wind.

He struggles forward, reaching the foot of the mountain with only a thin layer of ice on the soil, starts to take out his remaining tools to chisel open the hard frozen earth, and places Dominic’s seeds into it.

"Dominic, who would have thought, finally it’s the two of us here."

"I saw the future, did you know, I saw the future, we succeeded, hahaha, we succeeded, and I once told you, as the recorder, watching billions of pioneers perish in unknown star systems..."

"I’ve come to understand why we must do this, I’m gradually comprehending everything!"

The seed seems to have finally felt the earth, or perhaps felt the foundation of the ceremony, instantly sprouting and rooting at a visible pace.

The seed breaks through the newly interred frozen ground, sprouts new buds, and at this moment, the entire planet seems to begin changing due to this small point’s pulse.

The violent wind becomes gentle, the chaotic gravity starts to recover, the entire planet seems to no longer be under the influence of the Cosmic Void.
