The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 583 - 317: The Last Star and Night (5600 words)_3

The stars were all about to fall, yet the young boys and girls did nothing but recklessly squander their time, bickering over trivial matters before the stars fell.

Arthur's hair was nearly pulled out, and Lister's diaper was almost ripped off. Initially, they had teamed up against An Su, but midway through, it had turned into a free-for-all; by the end, they were all ganging up on Luo Xiaobai, who had already burnt to ashes.

Luojia and Enya, tired from their turn-based duel, each found a stool, still pointing knives at each other while bickering back and forth.

Time passed trivially, and the day was almost dawning.

An Su was getting tired; he shook his head, looking at these Divine Beings before him: Lister and Arthur lay exhausted on the ground, unable to move; Luo Xiaobai was sobbing weakly in a corner; Luojia, thirsty and unable to speak, was leaning against the wall, her hand still raised high, but she was almost asleep.

These Divine Beings were all the creatures he had known since he arrived at Farol, and that was everything.

It had been a long time since there had been such a tumult, and perhaps there never would be again.

The day was about to dawn, autumn was about to end, and Chenxing was about to disappear.

After autumn, An Su would turn seventeen; he had already stayed in Farol for two years.

In another year, he would be an adult.

"Miss Enya."

An Su whispered softly, he looked at the canopy, speaking to the shadow, his azure eyes filled with sincerity; the young man gently pursed his lips, seeming to struggle with his thoughts, but finally, he made up his mind,

"Dear Miss Enya, this is a serious matter."

Miss Enya was still awake, because she was his shadow.

"The current situation is already very complex. The chaotic downfall foretold by fate is about to arrive; thinking back, the first time I observed the chaotic stars—back then I needed the aid of the Azure Magic Eye, it was after the Deacon's grand exam, when the Artificial Nether World almost made contact with the present world, and the world that should have followed the predetermined cycle of destiny was filled with 'mistakes' and stopped cycling, perhaps that was the beginning of everything."

"The second time I observed the chaotic stars was on the eve of Eldest Prince Tai Rui's mutation. I discovered it was even closer, it was being drawn by the present world, moving gradually towards it—the last time I observed it was today, and I can now see it with the naked eye."

He looked serious,

"Some force is attracting it, and based on my deduction, it is 'chaos'. The more Farol tends towards chaos, the preordained Era of Chaos will arrive, this correlates with the observations of these past days. Moreover, we can infer from this, if this world is filled with more agony, then the star of agony will descend... if the world is full of disasters, then the Era of Disaster will arrive."

"So, in order to prevent the destruction of the Imperial Capital, we should embody the spirit of great love, we must use love and peace to stabilize Order, we must consider great love and not fuss over these trivial matters, we should not engage in fighting like tonight."

An Su concluded.

His shadow behind him swayed gently, a calm voice came through, "What does the destruction of the Imperial Capital have to do with me?"

An Su paused, he said, "A lot of people will die, millions... perhaps even more innocents."

"What do the deaths of so many people have to do with me?"

An Su's lips twitched slightly; he almost forgot that the girl behind him was an even stranger anomaly than him. If the Little Saintess' morals were a mountain, the Little Witch's morality was a plain, An Su's morals were a depression, then the maid's humanity was the earth's crust.

It was virtually nonexistent.

"Even if everyone in Nether died, it wouldn't matter to me, would it?" the shadow gently swayed, calmly said, "Young Master An Su."

"You haven't understood my point," An Su sighed, "We need to have great love, Miss Enya."

"It is you who haven't understood my point, Young Master An Su."

"Everyone else dying has nothing to do with me, even if the stars fall, it has nothing to do with me, it's all irrelevant to me."

The autumn wind swept through, scattering the leaves of the parasol trees in front of the stairs, the amber shadow rolled with the wind enveloping An Su, every shadow hiding the footsteps of Miss Enya, she gently embraced the young man within the Shadow Magic.

"To me, everyone in the world is you, all the stars in my world are also you, that is what true love is."

An Su fell silent, for the woman below was too powerful.

"And moreover, after being overturned, you always like to lie to me even though you tell the truth to everyone else." Enya shook her had, "This time as well, and just now too."

She walked out from the shadows, the fragmented starlight interwoven among the hem of her dress, "You actually don't care about the life and death of others... do you? You only care about those you care about."

"Because now I can only lie to you." An Su lifted his head, looking at Miss Enya under the desolate morning star, "Now it's the overturned me, I won't lie to anyone else."

"That's not fair," Enya stared at An Su.

"It is fair, because I am overturned."

An Su looked up at Enya, "Because before being overturned, I would lie to everyone, but not to you."

"What about the gambling ticket?"

"That's an exception," An Su shook his head, and seriously said, "Because a person won't lie to their own shadow."

"Miss Enya said it before, you are my shadow, so I am your starlight." He nodded seriously.

For some reason, Enya's heart was slightly touched again.

She stared at An Su, not knowing the emotion of this moment, as the dawn's star was about to rest, time stretched their shadows unusually long, she paused, then lifted her head to look at the starlight outside the courtyard, and slowly said,

"During hide and seek, I told you once, you found me in the darkness."

"You're lying, just teasing me for fun," An Su laughed, knowing the maid loved to boast, "I don't have the ability to break your shadow magic, your magic is too profound."

"I'm not lying. I wouldn't lie to you."

Enya turned back to look at An Su, their navy blue eyes entwined with her deep black hair, like the night with the stars, the maid tilted her head, revealing a smile like the night and the stars,

"That was when you were seven years old,"

"You found me from the dark slums. Nobody found me, even though I was right there, even though I wasn't hiding, nobody found me, only you did."

"It was just for that reason."

She gazed into the eyes of the boy before her, slightly tiptoing, the darkness of the night, the brightness of the stars, the sensation spreading between them.

"I never had any profound shadow magic."

Miss Enya was very serious, her words very light, echoing in An Su's ears, her tone as light as the night, her timbre as bright as the starry sky, she whispered with a smile,

"From the beginning, my magic was broken by a seven-year-old child."

At that moment, An Su saw the end of the night, he looked behind Miss Enya—

The night folded into the horizon, the morning had already arrived, but the morning star had not faded. He saw the remnants of countless stars and flowing fire streak across the sky, reality fracturing into pieces, scattering the frantic shreds of the Era of Chaos all over the hills and fields.

"So even if all the stars in the whole world were to fall, you would find me, and I would find you."

"From the beginning, my heart was broken by a seven-year-old child."

After tonight, autumn had ended, An Su was seventeen years old.

After tonight, the Era of Chaos had arrived.
