Mystery: The Stars Returner

The spiritual dragon in front of him was about as huge as a mountain range. It stood across the void like this, its eyelids closed and trembling slightly, as if it wanted to open them, but it lacked enough strength to help it complete this simple little action.

The life of the spiritual dragon is coming to an end. Perhaps it has already died. What is here is just the last picture left here before its death.

When these memory spots completely dissipate, there will be no trace of its existence in this world.

"Wang."

Susie jumped up, stretched out her two front paws and closed them to grab a memory light spot, but the light spot slipped out directly through its palm, causing Susie to miss.

"Are these memories also illusory?"

Audrey murmured and waved to Susie, telling it to calm down and not disturb the sleeping dragon in front of her.

The twilight atmosphere is heavy, like the dead silence after autumn leaves wither and turn yellow.

Audrey seemed to see herself getting old in an instant. At that time, her hair was gray, dull and dry, and it was far less smooth and dazzling than when she was young.

The wrinkles on his face, his uncontrollable hands and feet, and his eyes set like gems were gradually replaced by turbidity and yellowing.

Old, faded, lonely and desolate, is this the reflection of your old age?

Susie also seemed to see how she would look like when she gets old in the future. When she gets old, Audrey will be in the most dazzling years of her life.

Lying in the doghouse, it wanted to open its eyes and lick Audrey's palm that was stretched out to her mouth, but it couldn't do so.

It is so old that it can't even open its mouth, its teeth are almost gone, and the golden hair all over its body has become yellow and dry, and is falling off seriously, especially its tail is bald.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Susie whimpered sadly.

Hastur also saw his old age for a moment, but he didn't care.

That is the old age of ordinary people, not his old age, nor will it be the old age of Audrey and Susie.

As the promotion sequence goes higher, years and lifespan will gradually lose their effect.

If you are promoted to a Sequence 0 True God Queen, as long as you don't die unexpectedly, the passage of time will be just a breeze without any ripples.

Hastur retracted his gaze from looking at the spiritual dragon, and turned to look at Audrey and Susie.

Audrey, who has always been elegant and noble, rarely showed a posture as fragile as crystal glass at this moment. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were slightly filled with tears, and her thin lips were biting lightly, as if she was experiencing something heart-wrenching and painful.

Susie was lying on the ground, with her front paws clasped over her eyes, wiping the tears shed due to excessive sadness from time to time, and her suppressed sobs made the scene even more desolate.

Hastur looked at it seriously for a while and did not disturb Audrey and Susie from indulging in their tragic old age. This was also a rare experience.

After a while, Audrey and Susie came out of that twilight state.

Susie stared blankly at her wet front paws, then as if she thought of something, she stood up suddenly and secretly took a look at Hastur and Audrey.

Seeing that Hastur was not looking this way, Audrey was also in a daze. She hurriedly turned her back and rubbed her two front paws that were wet with tears a few times, trying to clear away the tears left behind. Mark of.

Audrey had a similar reaction. She was in a daze at first, and then woke up. She also secretly looked at Hasta and Susie, then turned her back, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and tried to look as natural and decent as possible.

But the crimson tint on her small ears betrayed her true mood.

"Well, um, Mr. Hastur, what happened to you just now?" Audrey turned around with a calm and curious expression on her face.

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything just now." Hasta mentioned it deliberately.

"..."

Audrey's cheeks suddenly turned red, like a passing red cloud.

Susie also turned her back silently, then lay down on her stomach and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

"Mr. Hastur, you obviously did it on purpose!"

Audrey tried hard to overcome the shyness and confusion in her heart, and then gave Hastur a light look.

What does not see it mean? If you really didn't see it, you wouldn't say this sentence.

Mr. Hastur must have seen his pitiful look with tears in his eyes just now...

After a while, Audrey gradually returned to her usual calmness and elegance, looking curiously at the spiritual dragon in front of her.

Its eyelids barely lifted a corner, revealing eyeballs that were carved like white crystal stones.

Following its gaze, it was staring at Susie, who was lying on her stomach pretending to sleep.

Doesn't it have a crush on Susie?

Not long after Audrey had this idea, two memory light spots that were obviously several times larger flew out from the eyes of the spiritual dragon, slowly but firmly integrating into Susie's body.

"Wang!"

Susie, who was pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, jumped up in an instant, jumping a foot high. Her panicked eyes kept looking around, as if she had just had a terrible nightmare.

The spiritual dragon that sent out two memory light points closed its eyes again.

This time it couldn't even twitch its eyelids.

The dragon's soul was completely exhausted, and the memory light emitted from his body surged in an instant, and the entire pure white world in front of him was wrapped in memory light.

In the shower of memory spots, Audrey and Hastur each received a memory fragment sent by the spiritual dragon.

I couldn't help but close my eyes and enter that memory fragment.

"Wang?"

Susie curiously circled Audrey and Hastur, but it soon yawned, couldn't control its sleepiness, and fell asleep on the deck.

When it finally closed its eyes, it saw the spiritual dragon flying in its direction.

……

It is the descendant of Angelweed, the Dragon of Utopia, several generations apart. It did not become the means of resurrection for Angelweed, the Dragon of Utopia, like its ancestors.

When it was born, Angelweed, the dragon of fantasy, had already died long ago, and it had only seen his child Asulehod from afar.

Later, with the outbreak of the God War and the change of eras, the era of the spiritual dragon passed away. In order not to be hunted, it carefully hid in the collective subconscious of the villagers in a small village that was almost isolated from the world.

It successfully survived the Cataclysmic Era of the Third Age, and it was not until the end of the Fourth Age of the Gods that it completely fell into this small village.

Following its death, the village centered around it rapidly declined due to natural and man-made disasters, and finally became a deserted wilderness.

After its death, its spiritual world gradually emerged from the sea of ​​subconsciousness.

The last time Audrey entered by mistake was because its spiritual world was about to collapse and its power was leaking out.

It is the real end of life, dying on the road to being unable to advance to a higher sequence.

Until it dies, it will only be a Sequence 3 Dream Weaver, so it used its remaining strength to decorate this pure white space.

Waiting for a suitable successor to enter here, the successor it originally wanted to wait for was another spiritual dragon, but a long time passed.

No other spiritual dragon has stepped here, and it thinks that maybe it is the last living spiritual dragon in the world.

Originally, its consciousness had long since died, but because of his arrival, it suddenly came back to life and revived its last bit of consciousness.

In order not to miss the opportunity given by the stars, it used up its last consciousness to welcome the arrival of Audrey and Susie.

In the end, it chose Susie as its successor, leaving all the knowledge about the spiritual dragon lineage and all the memories of its life to Susie.

When Hastur saw this, his expression was slightly strange, and he glanced at Audrey without any trace.

I'm afraid Audrey still doesn't know that she lost to Susie in this succession competition.

But if you think about it carefully, if you were this spiritual dragon, between Audrey and Susie, you would probably choose Susie as your successor.

After all, most psychic dragons don't have much favorable impressions of the sudden rise of humans behind them.

On the road to the extraordinary rise of mankind, the blood and brain of the spiritual dragon are absolutely indispensable.

In the last memory left to him by this spiritual dragon, he left to himself two extraordinary items that he had collected over a long period of time.

Audrey should have also received part of the gift from the spiritual dragon, although it was far greater than Susie's gain.

Seeing that Audrey was still immersed in the memory of the spiritual dragon, Hastur reached out to touch the two extraordinary items that had floated in front of him. One was a palm-sized gray-white scale, which should have fallen off from a certain spiritual dragon. The scales may be the most critical reverse scales.

Another extraordinary item was a mercury badge. Hastur carefully identified the lines on it and discovered that it should be a holy emblem symbolizing knowledge and wisdom.

Could it be an item left behind by Herabergen, the Dragon of Wisdom?

This spiritual dragon is able to collect such extraordinary items. Its origin is by no means simple. Unfortunately, it seems to be deliberately hiding traces of its existence, not even willing to leave a name.

Hastur put these two extraordinary items away, because the psychic dragon has sealed them separately, so there is no need to worry about their negative effects without breaking the seal.

After waiting patiently for a while, Audrey also woke up from the memory left by the spiritual dragon.

Her face was filled with joy, and her eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.
