My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 363 - 316: A New Journey

Tang Xin had so many things she wanted to confide in to the woman, but just as the wind blew by, the woman dissipated before her, and the memories of her in her mind faded away at that moment.

The warmth, appearance, voice, and finally the outline of the woman gradually vanished from Tang Xin's memory, like an unseen and intangible wind carrying dust, blown gently by another gust to a far, faraway place.

Tang Xin forgot everything about the woman, tears slowly slid down her face, she didn't know what had happened to her as if she had forgotten something important.

She continued moving forward,

following the little girl running ahead,

she saw many sights she hadn't seen when she took the stage.

She saw in the darkness many students like Lancelot moving toward the same goal, yearning to change their circumstances, even willing to give their lives.

She saw on the academy's plaza, a black-haired girl with long hair chasing down the escaping armor in fury, severing its throat with one sword to avenge her beloved, then turning back, her hair from black silk to white snow.

She forgot about Starry Arts Academy, forgot about the Olympus District.

She saw in the Golden Red Pomegranate Tavern, patrons lamenting their unfulfilled lives, saw a sky-blue-haired girl named Qin Weina write a long poem for her, not far from her, an ordinary young man named Luner cast hopeful glances at the girl.

She soon forgot about this corner of the city.

Forgot Qin Weina, forgot the ordinary young man Luner.

Continued running forward,

she saw a man frozen into a sculpture beside the tram station, even though his hands were frostbitten blue-purple and his blood coagulated in his veins, he still held onto that guitar, never loosening his grip, even in death.

Saw a girl on the tram, clenching her teeth and tightly grasping her hands, breaking each guitar string one by one.

Saw an old middle-aged man, running to the storeroom after the bakery closed, picking up a long-unused violin, playing it while tears streamed down his face.

Saw in the Queens District and King's District apartments, thousands of ordinary people watching her through television, countless gazes crossing time and space, watching her in the spotlight.

She forgot about the King's District, Queens District.

She saw in a corner of the Piano Key District, several dirty children in a scrapyard tinkering with a tattered television, waving their fists cheering for her.

Saw a homeless man's dim gaze as he raised his fist and howled loudly to the heavens, saw a mother and daughter huddle together for warmth, silently watching her on stage, saying nothing.

Saw children at the Iris Foster Home gathered together, holding hands, praying for her.

And so, she forgot about the Piano Key District.

She saw herself finally possessed by the "Artist," out of control in the city, saw countless terrified faces, heard the wails of thousands of people.

Finally, everything froze on one scene.

She smiled brokenly, using the Conductor's String Sword to end her own life, the expression of the blonde girl was desolate.

The other person looked really sad, but her face was so calm.

She once hoped, that Xu Xiaoyou could smile more from the heart, instead of wearing a grave face all day.

She forgot all her experiences swaying and falling in the storm.

There were only two things she had to remember no matter what.

The mistakes she made,

and the person she never wanted to forget.

She would use the rest of her life to atone for her sins, and fulfill all her regrets and wishes.

And, meet her again.

The last memory was also a beach.

The cries of seabirds gradually faded away at the horizon, the morning glow painted warm colors over the distant skyline.

The girl walked barefoot on this beach, not knowing where in the world it was, or where it led.

The waves pushed fine sand past her feet, white foam crashing on the shore and dissolving into bubbles, the gentle sea breeze brushing her dress.

The tide gradually receded,

the girl welcomed a rebirth.

She finally caught up with her younger self, tightly embracing her: "I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry..."

"What's there to apologize for?" The girl turned in the pale golden glow, sky-blue hair at her ears lifted by the wind, each strand radiating gentle light.

"You just did what you wanted to do, why care about others, even your younger self's views?"

"People are born with the right to choose, even though often people face unfairness when making choices, they still have to take responsibility for those choices."

"Unlike a hammer, people's existence precedes the meaning of existence itself, many spend their lives searching for their meaning, pursuing an answerless enigma, leaving many mysteries unsolved."

"You just wanted to give people the chance of fair choice, hoping to bring beautiful songs to an imperfect world, making unhappy people smile more."

"Since you've found the meaning of your existence and worked hard for it, taken responsibility, why say sorry?"

"Besides, you know you don't like the word forgiveness, you can't even forgive those you love." Xiaoxin opened her arms in the glow, smiling brightly, "What you like is to keep things separate."

The girl advanced, extending her arms to tightly embrace her too: "Now, you must forget me too."

The sea breeze blew by, the outline of the small frame began to vanish, trembling slightly in Tang Xin's embrace, her shoulders gently shaking, not just the wind passing by her ears, but tiny cries too.

"Don't leave me alone anymore."

"I'm really afraid of being lonely."

...

Sevia gently pressed the hair at her ear, gazing at the moon and clouds on the horizon.

"Tang Xin, from now on, you're starting a solitary journey."

"Tang Xin..."

"Who is that?"

Sevia shook her head, leaving the doubts in her heart to be answered by the journey ahead, she walked along the moonlit beach, towards the distance.

Where sky and water met, the world merged into a magnificent watercolor painting.

"Storm Song - Starry Lullaby"

"She walked under the night of stars,"

"Singing a lullaby,"

"Listening to the tribulations of the people."

"Heaven granted her wise eyes,"

"Yet also bestowed upon her feeble hands."

"Do those trapped at sea yearn for redemption?"

"If not,"

"Why focus their burning gaze,"

"On her, full of compassion?"

"Oh storm, she is coming soon..."

"Follow your own will, step onto the stage."

"Under the gaze of three thousand who don't understand, are you ever afraid?"

"At that moment when those who love you tear apart your wings, does it cause pain?"

"Oh bird falling in the storm."

"Do you regret it?"

"Why remain silent and say nothing?"

"Answer, never regretted, I have no other desire."

"If so, then please soar high."

"Carry branches to build a frozen Eden,"

"Shelter those beneath your wings, spread your broken wings wide."

"At midnight's dream, listen to the lowest string of your heart,"

"Love the world before yourself, stir waves among the sea of flowers."

"Adhere to your own stubbornness,"

"Even if it leaves you with nothing else to lose."

"Silent lives like ordinary wild grass,"

"Kind girl, please don't resent their mediocrity and decay,"

"It's not that they defend darkness,"

"Nor are they proud of surviving in the dark."

"The heaviness of reality bends their backs,"

"They too hope to emit light and warmth quietly burning, so they laugh heartily."

"The day when snow truly melts,"

"Every grave will bloom with flowers."

"Hopeful people walk out of their cages."

"Dew glistens, leaves rustle in the wind, a hundred flowers bloom fiercely."

"People begin to praise the newborn sky."

"By then, that will be a homeland for all to live and work in peace."

"The noble are naturally embraced by the stars,"

"The ordinary can't break free from the surrounding night."

"For those struggling in the night,"

"You emit light,"

"For those embraced by the stars,"

"You uphold humanity."

"You've already done your best, close your eyes,"

"Let the soul take a brief rest."

"Open your eyes,"

"Awaken by the sea at daybreak."

"Starry trails and the moon praise you brightly,"

"Snow and earth embrace and commend you."

"Countless stars fall into your eyes,"

"The most beautiful scenery presents in your alluring gaze."

"The most enchanting gleam of light and dark,"

"Softer and warmer than the rainbow's glow."

"Kind bird,"

"Stand up and walk,"

"Your journey has just begun,"

"Please look toward the distance,"

"Where blue meets the sky, starry paths stretch endlessly."

"When the phoenix returns, condensing rain dew fragrance,"

"The stone will remember the scent of the iris."
