Chapter 921: This Is the Final Struggle

At night, under the moonlight, Xue Dili silently arrived at his rooftop, looking across the street at the bustling, lively mall, while the village here was indeed like a faint glow of fireflies, quietly drinking a sip of beer in his hand.

And in a situation where others couldn’t see, there was a phantom figure beside Xue Dili.

“Didn’t expect that, in such a short time, you’ve become on par with the Mimic Venerable King.” Uncle Brave silently took a sip of beer, gazing at the splendid neon lights in the distance.

Finally, Xue Dili was ready to let Uncle Brave see his daughter, Fafnir.

Uncle Brave, after death, was absorbed by the Mimic Venerable King, sleeping inside the Mimic Venerable King, Uncle Brave did not rest, so he was pulled out by Xue Dili.

Originally, Xue Dili wanted Fafnir to reunite with her father, but in the end, Uncle Brave chose to just watch Fafnir from afar, with no intention of appearing in front of her.

Similarly, previously Xue Dili was prepared to let Susu meet her mother, but Susu’s mother refused.

This mother and daughter are different, because she feels immense guilt, despite it being an unavoidable choice to transform her daughter into a vessel of World Consciousness, even though she does not regret it, the reunion might only add to the awkwardness.

So she refused, Xue Dili looked at those team members who once made deals with Margaret, attempting to be saviors, and could only sigh.

Just like Little Dragon Lady who doesn’t wish for the village to disappear, but she can’t stop the village’s demolition, life’s unfortunate events are eight or nine out of ten.

The beer cans clinked together, Xue Dili and Uncle Brave quietly watched the distant lights.

“To the former me, the Mimic Venerable King was like the general manager of the company, just heard of, never able to contact, didn’t expect…” He seemed to lament, “In a blink, those who once adventured with me, now have become leaders of general manager level.”

Uncle Brave felt that way, he was just a low-tier employee of a branch company, usually not able to even see the regional manager, let alone the general manager, little he knew now that the general manager was someone he once knew.

A complex emotional state.

Xue Dili did not reply, just opened another can of beer silently.

“Do you really not want to see Fafnir again?” Xue Dili gulped down the chilled beer, said in the wind.

“No need, she’s already living her own life, for me, an irresponsible father, there’s no need to appear again, to her, my presence would only be a burden.” Uncle Brave downed the beer in one gulp, threw the can on the ground.

“I have to go back, every more second I act outside, the Spiritual Particle that can maintain my existence decreases.” Uncle Brave greeted, just left like this, returned to the Heroic Spirit Hall.

Xue Dili also finished the beer in his hand, preparing to leave like that, then join this final battle.

Who knew, suddenly footsteps sounded from the stairs.

Xue Dili paused for a moment, then saw his aunt arrived at the rooftop, meeting eyes with Xue Dili.

“Aunt…” Xue Dili called once, then looked at the beer cans scattered all over the rooftop, explained, “I came up for a beer, to look at the stars.”

“Hmm…”

Aunt quietly arrived beside Xue Dili, also sat on the rooftop: “Ah Xue, is this another battle that you’re unsure about?”

Xue Dili was momentarily stunned, then controlled his facial muscles, revealed a sunny smile: “No, it’s in the bag this time, rest assured, our side’s strength is one level higher than the enemies’, we’ll win.”

However, aunt remained silent, she watched the starry sky, not knowing what she was thinking about, then as if after a long time: “Ah Xue, you’re still the same as before…”

“But this time, don’t leave without a word, you promised the Spirit Dragon and Spirit Tree, you must come back for dinner tomorrow.” Aunt said, extending her hand, holding Xue Dili.

That was not a pair of smooth hands, but rather covered in calluses and wrinkles.

“Don’t be like before, not caring about your own life, if you just leave like that, those few kids would be very sad.” Aunt’s words came through.

Xue Dili didn’t speak again, he thought of Yi Shan and Fuge, if he were like before, totally ignoring his own life, perhaps such tragedy would also happen to his own family.

The birth of the Lord of Mist was a tragedy of the birth of the Venerable King back then.

“Rest assured, now I will cherish my life, because I’m no longer alone.” Xue Dili smiled, this time it was not a smile controlled by facial muscles, but a sincere smile.

If it was before, he might have thought of making his life exert greater value, but with increasing adventure and traveling, he met more friends, and developed further relationships with more people.

Now, he has his aunt, two lovely daughters, and like sisters Fafnir and Susu, even in every world, he has met many friends, even relatives.

He’s no longer the lone wanderer, but truly has become a father, a teacher, and might become a husband in the future…

At the same time, he is nominally the boss of Masked Ball and the Interstellar Corps, although he feels more like a mascot, but after all still holds the title of boss.
