Chapter 2926 The Departing God and the Coming One

The angel disappeared without a trace, and darkness truly devoured everything around. There was no more water falling from the void, and no more glowing ashes all over the sky. This time was the real end.

As the dusk light disappeared, everything in the Yishu Academy collapsed in a way that mortals could not understand, but only the courtyard path they were walking on at the moment continued to extend forward.

All the previous topics were over, but He just asked him at this time:

"You have seen the departing gods, right?"

"Yes, when I used the Tree Father's Time Key for the first time, I saw the [Innocent Creator]."

Shad pursed his lips:

"So after the last lesson, you will also leave like this academy, right?"

The God did not answer this question directly, but this was almost equivalent to acquiescence. The two people and the cat continued to walk forward on this road. Castles and towers collapsed around them, and bridges that had been walked by countless people were swallowed by darkness. Gardens, lawns, greenhouses, sports fields, libraries, astronomical observatories, everything was returning to nothingness.

"Foreign guest, how do you evaluate the profession of teacher?"

God continued to ask the stranger on the path, and the stranger easily gave the answer:

"The fire of civilization. I don't deny that not all teachers are great, but most of them are trying to ignite a bigger flame and let that fire pass on from generation to generation."

God smiled and said:

"Have you ever considered becoming a teacher in the future?"

This reminded Shade of Dr. Schneider's original life plan. In the absence of hope for revenge, he wanted to inherit the wishes of the previous team leader and lead everyone across the ice field to St. Byrons to become a professor there. Unfortunately, everyone in the group seemed to be getting further and further away from this goal.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Why?"

"I think I'm not mature enough. The children who learn from me will probably go the wrong way."

The God smiled and continued to walk forward with Shade. When the road came to the end, there was only nothingness around the path. At the end of the road, there was a piece of wood as thick as Shade's waist, and the bark was removed.

The wood glowed in the void, so the road could still exist, but it could only maintain the existence of this road:

"Is this the remains of the World Tree?"

"Yes, when the Alien Tree Academy first took it in, it was much larger than it is now. But now there is only this last piece and the bark taken away by the werewolf."

The wood in front of him looked very fragile, and when Shade looked at it carefully, he clearly saw large pieces of particles floating on the surface of the wood. It was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. When this piece of wood disappeared, the so-called "Alien Tree Academy" would no longer exist in the true sense.

"Are you trying to tell me that the remains of the World Tree are still afraid of the power of nothingness and the end? I can indeed bring the power of doomsday to deal with the bad guys in the forest."

Shad asked, and the god replied:

"When the world itself comes to an end, everything in the world will inevitably come to the same end. Even the World Tree, after the departure of the ancient gods, is just a tree rooted in the long river of time."

"You"

Shad saw the glimmer on the god's body like that piece of wood, dispersing into fine dust and disappearing into the darkness, while the goddess still looked at him calmly:

"Although you didn't learn what I wanted to teach you in my last lesson, at least your paranoid power is enough to freeze time and space. The road ahead will be more difficult, and this power will give you at least a moment of respite when facing those unavoidable choices."

After a pause:

"The moon guides you forward, but the moon is not the most important thing in your life as a mortal."

Shad looked at the god with a look of "how can you say such words", and then realized his disrespect. He pressed his chest and listened to the voice in his heart:

"I understand what you want to tell me, please rest assured, I am the one who pursues myself, I love them, I want everything. How could I become such a person?"

"Meow~"

"Unrestrained boy, mortals should have flaws."

The god said with a smile, but there was some sadness in his farewell tone:

"You will face many things in the future, and at least before the very end, before you face the end of all stories, cherish every minute and every second in this colorful world."

He stretched out his hand and pushed Shade and the cat off the road in the void. But the stranger holding the cat did not fall but floated away. He saw the god standing next to the wood waving goodbye to him, and also felt the last gift left by the god for him.

[Stranger, you feel the "miracle". ]

[Stranger, a batch of books have been added to your magic "Moon Library", remember to check. 】

"May knowledge go with you, foreign guest."

His figure faded, and he waved his hand and left.

Then the distant bell sounded in the void, and the bell echoing in infinite time and space seemed to break through the boundary between nothingness and reality, announcing to all continuous time and space that another old god was on his way.

Shade covered Mia's eyes, and his eyes really saw the ripples spreading into the void, and a series of tiny sounds appeared in his ears. When trying to understand these sounds, the dizziness made him unable to distinguish other senses except hearing.

Those tiny overlapping and echoing sentences were the sublimated words related to this god. When the original [Innocent Creator] left, he could only barely hear and remember one sentence, but now he can remember a lot.

But no matter what, another old god left the material world under the witness of Shade. The stars in the sky will not remember this scene, and the land that gave birth to a prosperous civilization will not remember this scene. Only Shade remembers it.

When the important characters on the stage walk off the stage at the end of the not-so-grand story, the strangers sitting under the stage can only remember it all. In the future, he will remember many more stories.

Turning in the void, the shadow of the giant tree that seemed to connect the earth and the sky broke through the barrier of nothingness and brought Shade and the cat who had completed the adventure into the thick white fog.

(Milia running.)

The moment her consciousness fell into chaos, when she fell into darkness, when she regained her sense of the outside world, Emilia felt as if something furry was rubbing against her face:

"What's going on? Although I used to pursue exciting adventures, I seem to have too much excitement recently."

The air around her was filled with the scent of fragrant grass. She lay face up, and the warm sunshine made her whole body feel comfortable. This place no longer seemed to be a dangerous place. When the elf opened her emerald green eyes, she saw the unicorn cubs gathered in a circle, stretching their heads and looking at her, a stranger, with curious eyes.

The sunlight shone through the cubs onto her face, and she could even feel the sound of each little animal breathing.

These unicorn cubs were much younger than Little Lianna. If Little Lianna was a small horse, then these cubs who looked unguarded were lambs.

Emilia's action of sitting up with the help of the grass caused them to scatter a little, but did not scare them away. On the contrary, it made them cry happily and rub against her arms or back. Just like Shade's inexplicable "cat affinity" talent, Emilia sometimes thought she had a unique talent of "unicorn affinity".

"At least the ones surrounding me are unicorns, not spiders with eight eyes."

She thought in a good mood, and after sitting up, she found that her backpack was not on her, but soon found that it was being stepped on by the group of pure white cubs.

When she looked around again, it seemed to be the top of a low hill. The grass seemed to have been trimmed by humans, which was very suitable for the unicorn cubs to run and play; the oak tree standing at the highest point of the hill not far away had a lush canopy, which just provided the shade for the little guys to rest in the afternoon.

Emilia's memory was slowly being retrieved. She remembered what happened in the "Ashes Valley" and remembered that she held Miss Wilder's hand and fell into nothingness with her:

"Is this St. Byron's?"

Because she had just walked out of the terrible environment of the "Alien Tree Academy", Emilia actually thought that even if this place was still not St. Byron's, it was actually quite good.

She stood up from the grass, and several unicorn cubs hanging on her clothes fell on the grass, and then rolled into a ball with their companions.

When Emilia picked up her bag and put it on again, and walked to the edge of the hill to see the environment farther away, the group of little unicorns who seemed to need to be trimmed followed her.

So, the little elf seemed to be surrounded by the little cubs and moved forward. The grass barely above her calves did not hinder her progress, and when she grabbed the shoulder strap of her bag and reached the best observation point, what she saw was the ancient cross-shaped castles that stretched out in a row below the hills, and the huge city with the castle as the center, which was spread out on the plain.

The warm sunshine filled the "plains", and the witches on the flying carpet whizzed over the city, and the owls with huge packages tied to their feet flapped their wings and flew past the clock tower on the top of the castle. The pedestrians walking on the street were as small as ants, but Emilia, who had good eyesight, still saw dwarves, elves, humans, blood-sucking species, and halflings walking together and living here.

The banners hanging on the castle towers were shining, and the ancient language was written to celebrate the new witches' enrollment. And the most conspicuous one, which was also hung on the tallest tower in the entire city, was a badge in the style of a "chained book".

Even Emilia recognized that badge. Over the course of thousands of years, even though the era had changed, the badge of St. Byron's had never changed.
